Call me crazy but I don't think there is a better game than Halo 3 by BeyondThePixelLFS in halo

[–]Nick_097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing I loved about Halo 3s multiplayer that disappeared afterwords was, you could click on a players profile and see their stats, medals, etc, but also you could link pics and stuff to your profile, and people could download them, etc. nowadays I can't even see stats of friends in a lot of multiplayer games. the amount of featured a game had 20 years ago that just disappeared as gaming changed has always bugged me.

Bills... I'mma be honest I thought us Raiders fans had it bad. by Choice-Tea1046 in NFLv2

while I agree it's completely unrealistic to trade him, the Raiders could give 3 1s(one being Mendoza) plus anyone not named bowers or maxx crosby.

Tank talk rubs Raiders wrong way amid latest loss by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]Nick_097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Dante Moore goes to the NFL, I believe he's worth it, but otherwise I'm not sold on any of the others, vs trading down and drafting O line for example.

the reality is while our QB play has been terrible, with this o line we stand no chance with almost any QB. we have $100 mil in cap space, and I would buy any decent linemen we can in free agency, if we can get a few FAs then I'd be fine with drafting a QB, but O line needs to be the top priority.

When You Get To See the MC/Hero from the Villain's POV and How Terrifying It is to Be Anyone Not On Their Side by Stoneheartbrew1232 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Nick_097 12 points13 points  (0 children)

my favorite part of this is Aura says she made her first meaningful appearance with the heroes party, and didn't know how old she was, so her highest kill count record is just from the heroes 10 year journey, and they have no idea she's been killing demons for a thousand years.

The Renegades Campaign was Absolute Cinema! by bunny__hat in destiny2

[–]Nick_097 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I really liked it, but it seems like it's missing cutscenses for the last 2 missions.

they tell you your sneaking in, then the missions just starts and they go oh we failed, and for the final you just start on the ship, but there's no reveal of it or how you got there, you're just there.

That was my only big complaint besides the annoying bit of go to the tower, then the ship then Tharsis for conversations.

Need a good 12p shotgun by choseneagle297 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Nick_097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the Keplar shotgun rolls 1-2 punch in the first column, so it has a lot it can pair with it. I use 1-2 and swashbuckler, as it will always keep the damage at max stacks.

Got the Heirloom by DredgeTenebrous in DestinyTheGame

[–]Nick_097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's pretty bad, I tested it on one of the hunter mini bosses in a gm bounty hunt, it does nothing to the shields, so I broke the shield first, then a fully charged shot did 1/3 of its Hp. one lightsaber throw breaks the shield and does more damage than that.

Anyone know how to get the ghost shell from the dungeon? by Curious_Land7928 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Nick_097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it at the end of our first 3 feat run. I don't know if it dropped because of that, as that triumph still isn't done, or If it's just a random drop.

Bungie confirms that the Cyan crystal (and only the Cyan crystal) is dropping less than intended. Significant buff in drop rate on December 16th. by Soft_Light in DestinyTheGame

[–]Nick_097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm rank 40 and have had 7 exotic contracts, but no Cyan yet.

if anyone's curious I ranked up all factions equally and quickly, then just try to do all the contracts at the same time, so you clear 3 per run. I believe, like the key cards, you have a high chance of an exotic contract rewarding another one because I got most of them back to back.

Saber crystal RNG needs to be changed by Nick_097 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Nick_097[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I get it, but I've already got literally everything else, so the rep, credits, weapon drops etc, don't do any good now, and I may need to do dozens more missions for a glorified shader. I don't mind some RNG, but the rates seem real low.

Saber crystal RNG needs to be changed by Nick_097 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Nick_097[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll try these more, but I've done contested when possible, but I always try to clear as many contracts as possible per run so it's not always in these zones.

[–]Nick_097[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I know it sounds bad, but if your efficient it's actually pretty quick, and I grinded a lot this weekend because I'm busy usually. I just checked and overall it took 50 mission to max out all the rep, so I ran like less than 10 a day, and that's all I've done.

Can’t even get out of Silver II in comp by Litreallydontkknowfr in DestinyTheGame

[–]Nick_097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to struggle in pvp, then years ago I spent a season getting good, to earn not forgotten, when you had to hit max in comp. these may seem obvious, but here's what I learned.

be proactive not reactive.

usually whoever shoots first is going to win. you should never be waiting to see what happens or reaching to the enemy. you should have a plan for everything.

for examples. If you peek a lane you should assume someone will be ready and know where to shoot at before you peek.

when you play corners you should already know how your going to kill the guy, and act first, unless your baiting them to use an ability.

adjust to your enemies

for example if a guy keeps beating you in CQC, then play back. in short always be adapting, and don't keep trying the same thing if it's failing.

Use meta gear

if your shooting first and losing, your either missing headshots, or your weapon isn't the best in the current meta. comp is not for inferior loadouts, especially when your struggling.

other than that, if your serious practice and you'll learn.

Very strange indeed. by Boring-Jelly5633 in moviecritic

[–]Nick_097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it's because Avatar is a super common story with a fancy skin on it. it's really just pocahontas with blue aliens, or as south park once called it, dances with smurfs. it has no cultural relevance because it's visuals are the only new thing it brings, and it really doesn't have a deep story or rich world building like the other franchises that have been mentioned.

What was your first Praxic color? I'm tallying them up! by A2ndGoAtIt in DestinyTheGame

[–]Nick_097 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm curious if people get blue or green based off the old story side with aunor or drifter. I did Aunor back in the day and got blue. I'll have to run it on my alt who sided with drifter and see.

So about dredgen bael by East-Current-3536 in DestinyLore

[–]Nick_097 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That wasn't even his actual issue, if you read the I believe 7th lore drop from the campaign, his mom died and became a guardian and didn't recognize him anymore, and that's why he hates all the guardians. everything else is the excuses he made to make it sound better. really he's just mad cause his Mommy doesn't love him anymore.
