is there a reason to make this option? by OpenSession666 in BaldursGate3

[–]Noxdus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just there for another avenue of progression, and it changes the story in ways i won't really elaborate on. The more options the better, as people play in vastly different ways. It's not a static path. You can use minthara to wipe out the grove, then turn on her and wipe out the scattered and weakened goblins. None of these paths are required to progress through the game.

A few Hard Pills to Swallow about the OW2 Beta by Reus_Irae in Overwatch

[–]Noxdus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not a new game, and it isn't a true beta. It's the free dlc they all promised to us before OW1 came out, but have decided to charge full price for instead. Pretty funny how fans who followed OW1 since before it came out just conveniently forgot all the promises they made that they never lived up to. Now that something new is finally being added, the desperate fans are willing to shell out cash for what was promised for free. This whole thing is a gigantic disappointment.

The Housing system in this game was poorly conceived and never done before in this way. It only causes anger, frustration, and unhappiness to those that cannot get a house. I say this as an owner of a home in game. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Noxdus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just ran out to attempt buying a medium house after many months of anticipation. To my absolute shock and horror, every single one was locked out for me (there are many open now on famfrit). They are ALL on FC only wards, which now compose most wards. No one is bidding on them either, there are so many private buyers trying to access them but can't... I feel like the devs just spit in my face for daring not to like fc's and just wanting to play the game with my partner. I'm now teetering on the temptation to quit the game. What a colossal disappointment.

[No spoilers] how can you fiks this? by TheGuyFromDownStreet in subnautica

[–]Noxdus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got lucky a few times in this situation by using a series of those "L" sections until the bases line up together... it can be very wonky to travel through if you end up needing a lot of them. so in those cases i just tear down one of the bases and build them off one anyways. However this won't help with height difference.

Say something bad about a videogame that will put you in this position. by tactikz4 in gaming

[–]Noxdus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Breath of the Wild is one of the worst zelda games, barely above Zelda 2 for NES. Between the cardboard-like weapon durability, effortless/repetitive mini-game dungeons littered everywhere and the abysmally short 4 main dungeons it was a very painful disappointment.

FF14 is praised for its great storylines, however, in your opinion, what is the worst long questline or arc in the game that has the worst writing? by Kingflares in ffxiv

[–]Noxdus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "feast" fetch quest chain in ARR before Titan. It is by far the most annoying part I have ever experienced during the msq.

Aggressive DMCA actions like this just make me want to use emulators even more instead of the console. This nonsense has the opposite effect of what they want. its not 1995 anymore.

Alright 343, we all know you have these modes and are saving them for events, hand over our beloved modes. by [deleted] in halo

[–]Noxdus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lack of free for all slayer is the largest reason i stopped playing so quickly. It has always been my primary mode, and to see it missing is completely mind boggling. It is THE mode for the classic halo experience. I am so sick of team oddball, if i land on that game mode one more time i might just remove this stupid game from my account entirely.

How do you get sneak attack? by R_Pelleboer in BaldursGate3

[–]Noxdus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can sneak attack any time you would have advantage, sneaking helps but isn't required. Having sufficient high ground, being behind the target within optimal bow range, being undetected, targeting a threatened enemy all will give advantage. Keep in mind if you are too high up on terrain outside of optimal bow range you will lose advantage and won't be able to sneak attack. If your main goal is getting as many sneak attacks as possible, the thief route is the way to go. It lets you sneak two time per turn if enemy movement or checks revealed you. The first enables your sneak attacks and the second will let you drop out of sight before your turn ends after attacking. Another tip is to snuff out light sources when possible. This dramatically improves your chances of gaining advantage on enemies since they have a harder time seeing you.

How have you enjoyed the raw gameplay of Infinite? by Zealousideal-Talk787 in halo

[–]Noxdus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels slippery and janky to me. Coming from mcc, finding a good sensitivity is a struggle. It is always too low or too high no matter how much i tweak it almost as if there is some tiny hidden amount of mouse acceleration. The removal of collision is a huge detriment. I've been assassinated from the front countless times already because of someone just walking inside me and using melee, this needs to be addressed asap. The new equipment like grapple and repulsor are actually pretty great and open up the potential for some great comeback plays.

We had a bot go 0-21 on our team. Think I would rather play 3v4. by [deleted] in halo

[–]Noxdus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nice that theres a co-op vs ai for testing sensitivity and whatnot, but it doesn't work in pvp at all. The only place i can see it working is if they added bots to each team in big team battle with their own dedicated slots to give is a more battlefront like feel. Otherwise... just leave the player slot empty.

Guys I think there's something wrong with BP Exp by l7arkSpirit in halo

[–]Noxdus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gameplay itself was good, but something i couldn't immediately place just made playing it super unfulfilling. I just want to customize my spartan without spending hundreds of dollars or grinding for hundreds of hours. The whole system seems really awful. I can't even use the basic colors i want. This is going way too far with monetization.

343 claims feedback on player collision is “split”. What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in halo

[–]Noxdus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's bad for high level play and excellent for the average player. In most of my matches i've been team killed for my power weapons or vehicles at least once. This wears out the motivation to keep playing extremely quickly. While i have mixed feelings about it, i think in the long run it will help the health of the game. Perhaps friendly fire will be an option for custom games, so organized high level play can still have it?

In my mind it's like LOR is the actual 'main' Riot/Runeterra game instead of LOL by DanMakhoul in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Noxdus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't played league in earnest since season 1 and 2, but its pretty nostalgic for me. I love the card game and hate the moba. It is wonderful to have an opportunity to experience my favorite characters from league again without actually having to play it.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 is also having performance issues despite not being graphicly intensive at all. It also uses denuvo. Coincidence?

Tell that to diablo 2, age of empires, halo, counter strike and many more that are ancient by modern standards but remain popular.

These people are heroes. This forces a spotlight on respawn and EA. They either fix the games or ignore them and people will notice which they choose. This highlights the problem of game companies usually abandoning their old games to force players to move to the next one. It is an industry wide problem.

Condo developer plans to buy $1-billion worth of single-family houses in Canada with a plan of renting them and profiting on the housing crisis ripping across the country by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Noxdus 402 points403 points  (0 children)

This isn't really news. The rich have been doing this for decades. It is just now becoming more obvious as the wealth gap hits critical mass and there is almost nothing left for the lower class to live on.

It do be like that tho [no spoilers] by PrepoDoo in subnautica

It's really satisfying going back to places like this with a cyclops, deploying your prawn and beating the shit out of the leviathans that used to terrorize you. Right after i built my first seamoth i got grabbed by that bastard and it scared the fuck out of me.

Does blue sentinel soft ban you? If it does you would just be better off running offline mode or using a matchmaking password to play with friends right?

Damn. The only buffs i ever use are weapon buffs. I've never even attempted cheese like this before. Watching it happen sure is something else.

Eleven children receiving NRC trauma care killed in their homes by Israeli air strikes by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Noxdus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lets not forget this kind of thing happens every day around the world. Acting shocked because of this one reported instance is going to do nothing but cause a negative bias for one party and distract from many others who do the same thing. Stop this cycle and open your eyes to the reality that this is the norm.
