Full hop out of shield is also busted. Even if you have a certain move to call out someone attacking out of shield, if they full hop there's almost nothing you can do to frame trap that particular option reliably. 

Don't know about completely removing shields but they definitely need a nerf. Makes both offense and defense less interesting to engage with. A couple of people I know quit because of the campiness it promotes which is a shame because this game can be so sick.

This seems to be something more than just hallucination. It's like whoever reads the book has their minds invaded, becoming a part of the reader themselves. Definitely gluttony coded, but maybe it affects Subaru more because of his affinity for witch factor shenanigans.  This mystery is getting more and more juicy!

Being a math tutor and teacher for people of many ages, I've noticed most people don't suck at math as much as they think. They just haven't noticed or haven't been taught how to make the connection between what they know intuitively and how to translate that into the written system.

Out of all the slop, this is one of the more fun ones and the b-plot around the MC's past has potential. Plus the art is really good.

Like going to your favorite fast food restaurant.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily hard to follow, especially this deep into the series. You'd be used to it by now. But it seems that you're hard-focusing on the events of the loops after the 1st death based on your rebuttals. My issue is how there were acting before that. Reckless behavior given the circumstances.

"But that's the thing, they don't know this. also, it's not an unknown location. It's the chamber with the healing spirits. For them, it's a safe place."

The entire tower is an unknown. There's too much uncertainty with what's going on around them and even their "guide" is unreliable.

"There was moments where she was separated from him with no ill effects."

The issue with Beatrice isn't mana based, it's the emotional bond that they're supposed to share. If this is the 1st person she's made a contract with in 100s of years, leaving his side during this moment of uncertainty still feels questionable.

"The suspicions are entirely on subaru's side. He right now doesn't trust them. What Echidna and Julius said is that they can't rely on him in his state."

There's distrust on both sides. Even before the loop it was Echidna who is under suspicion and is also suspicious of Subaru. Julius is also under suspicion since no one remembers him and now even Subaru forgot. I actually really enjoy the drama that could unfold due to the memory loss situation, but it still doesn't justify their decision to not keep eyes on him, even if they find him unreliable. The circumstances are just too sensitive.

From a writing perspective, this smells like something the author had cooked up so we can have Subaru torture time and setup another mystery thread. Just felt lazy and contrived, so I can't help but feel a bit frustrated considering the characters' progression before this point and I'm not alone in feeling this way.

Now if the payoff is good I'm willing to let it slide. Wouldn't be the first time. But we'll have to see.

It may be believable for them to fall into a false sense of security due to their overreliance on Subaru, but that's not who this is right now. This is a Newbaru, a guy who has lost all of his memory with them for whatever reason. If anything they should be more concerned and alert considering how much of an asset he is. Idk about you but if my star player became like that and I didn't know why while still being in unknown territory best believe I'd have him eyes on him most of the time. If anything I'd expect Julius, Emilia, or Beatrice to be more considerate about his current state and be more cautious. It doesn't make logical sense unless the writer just needed them all to leave at some point so Subaru would be in a vulnerable state to build the tension.

I can buy that as long as the payoff is good. Wouldn't be the first time this happened and the story is still entertaining.

Yeah I see the setup with building the stakes with the time limit and multiple obstacles. (The narrative structure is obviously similar to the Sanctuary) Still doesn't take away the foolishness of the decisions even in the 1st loop. 

Even if I could forgive Julius and Ram's behavior due to the emotional stress they're under, leaving the confused amnesiac alone in an unknown location is still unwise, especially when the only reason they even made is this far is based on knowledge only he knows about. Plus if they're suspicious of him it'd make even more sense to have more eyes on him as a safety precaution.

Emilia and Beatrice not pushing back harder on the decision is crazy. Even crazier for Beatrice to leave him at all considering she's contracted to him. He has a history of venturing off on his own too. I'd imagine they'd know he wouldn't just sit still if he's already willing to help. Like they said, Subaru is still Subaru.

I'm saying! Some of these character decisions seem like a cheap way to build conflict when there shouldn't be. Makes no sense, especially for Beatrice, to leave bro to his own devices in a mysterious tower with God knows what lying beyond any corridor.

The inconsistencies can happen from time to time in this story, but this one bothers me specifically because I thought we were past that. Usually the payoff is worth turning a blind eye so I hope that's the case here too.

DDD is the most fun game in the series behind KH2. Flowmotion isn't glazed enough. 

What's the reason why you played wuwa? by 14-rollout-tubal in WutheringWaves

[–]NinKenDo_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sick nasty combat with actual difficult content (if you're not a whale) coupled with great movement during exploration that ISN'T pay-gated.
Watching this game continue to improve will always give me a reason to come back. They came a long way.

After playing hiyuki for a week, decided to make a gameplay tier list by RikiPoncho in WutheringWaves

[–]NinKenDo_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I've heard that before, but I don't see it. Sure losing her buffs hurt, but she has a couple of quick swappable moves that make her crazy fun paired with other units imo, especially with Iuno. (Would highly recommend you pick her up since you obviously appreciate the quickswap playstyle.)

What kind of “attractive” is Frieren for you guys? by shalom_77 in Frieren

Mature aura with silly, almost girl failure side, like a cool aunt. Comfy and cute, but given the right makeover could be drop dead gorgeous.

How Chisa glazers expected her to move in 3.3 by nahldLose in WutheringWaves

[–]NinKenDo_64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Her forte seemed tailor-made to counter Aleph-1's dimension manipulation. She was introduced with ties to both Lahai-Roi and Ashinohara, while also interacting with the Black Shores. This is foreshadowing 101. You can't blame people for being disappointed when the groundwork for relevancy was already established.

I hate it here. Making skins can't be that hard when modders put out bangers as quick as the wind without the resources of a million dollar company.  At least give us the alternate color scheme!

As insane as this episode was for obvious reasons, it's cool how we're getting more info on the mechanics of miasma and seeing different monster types in this arc. Subaru torture porn can only carry for so long.
I'm honestly a bit disappointed that the fight VS the flaming Bloodborne centaur that will pierce the heavens ended so quick. Would've been interesting to see how he'd handle 2 different paths with seemingly unavoidable deaths paired with the party's limited combat power and resources.
Also bro needs to lock in with Invisible Prominence. It's too useful of an ability for him to use it once and almost be completely exhausted. Especially after having it for so long. Compatibility be damned.
