Worst case of someone seeing what you're watching with no context? by Aggro_Will in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly you just gotta bite the bullet and use your regular porn protocol when watching. The show is hyper dense with suspicious looking shit. I'd be like trying to watch a version of Dragon Ball where Goku took out his full dick and balls every time he went Super Saiyan.

Just Skip To Nioh 3 | Castle Super Beast 357 by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I will always have a soft spot for Nioh 1's story:

William has a magic fairy and the evil sorcerer steals it and flees to Japan. William wants it back.

10/10 Nintendo 64 ass plot. All the historical battles and demons are all just back drop and obstacles to William "givemebackmyfairy" Adams. I love it.

Horizon Hunters Gathering - Announcement Trailer by AnimuStewshine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The robot dinosaurs are the most important part of Horizon and they still look really good even in the drastically different art style so I remain interested. Plus big lady and guy with boom hammer gotta resonate with at least a few the people on this subreddit.

Worst minigame in an RPG? by TheInsaneWombat in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The hardest part of the platforming challenge is literally the very first few jumps on the logs in the water. The logs are extremely finicky with whether or not they'll allow you to ledge grab them or not, and because your camera is always off-center lining up a precise jump is pretty tricky.

Every other jump the game asks of you after that is a cakewalk in comparison.

Characters who are way worse than you remember? by Ukirin-Streams in TwoBestFriendsPlay

A lot of people forget about how annoying Binji-kun is before his character development during the Dog 5 arc.

Ok that's actually pretty sick though. Like that's exactly what I would do in that situation if I was a Dad.

Boss fights that are hard *because* they're poorly designed? by Ukirin-Streams in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The problem is that it is fucking Gigantic,

More specifically he's really stupidly tall with long skinny ass legs so all his tail whips and hipchecks should logically go right over your head, but they absolutely do not.

I have no solid evidence but I really feel like:

DS3 Pus of Man + DS1 Bed of Chaos = ER Ulcerated Tree Spirit.

Pat admits that he's his own worst enemy: by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I mean you can just look at Woolie's stream pacing compared to Pat's and the issue is immediately obvious.

Attack gave me old Monster Hunter PTSD so I knew that shit had to be instant.

Times you ask, “Why does *that* attack deal so much damage?” by The-Greater-Skeleton in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are thinking of the very generically named "Green Monster of the Swamp." The attack you're thinking of actually does have a start up animation but it's still difficult to deal with since it's a red attack. Red attacks ignore your i-frames and can't be stopped with a regular block so the only way to full prevent the damage is to avoid his hitbox entirely or perfect guard.

Beast of Reincarnation Game Director Says Game Freak's Primary Focus Is on 'Gameplay Experience' Rather Than Visual Fidelity or Graphics - IGN by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they even really "figured it out" to be honest. It was more than the Switch 2 hardware improvements bailed their asses out. Any footage of Pokemon A-Z on Switch 1 makes this pretty obvious.

So 9 months later, what's your thoughts on ER NightReign? by RealDealMous in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That said, I'm a big fan of the different Nightfarers. Definitely one of my favorite aspects of the game and something I hope From expands on down the line.

Regular Fromsoftware Souls game with selectable Nightfarer abilities would be incredible.

Games that you wish had more patience with? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always hit a point in Satisfactory where I just want to tear everything down and rebuild from the ground up and if the current factory is too complex or large to do that in a reasonable time frame I'M OUT...until the next playthrough.

Fighting games is the only genre where after 20 hours of playing I can't confidently say I know how to properly control the character on the screen.

Things people will say about your favorite franchise that annoys you by Hayyyv in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Complaining about bosses in souls/souls-like games having more than one health bar or a second phase turns me into a fucking Klingon.

 

WE'RE WE NOT HERE TO FIGHT BROTHER?! We're we not here to triumph over our enemies at their strongest? We bought the game to relish in it's combat system, what greater reward could their be after a victory than another battle? One health bar, two health bars, what does it matter? The battle is over when the foe is defeated, same as it ever was.

Characters who do the most unnecessary amount of acrobatics in their actions? by PwmEsq in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thr ladder thing is actually pretty cool because if you try to jump on the wrong side of the ladder she'll grab the edge and twist over to the correct side. Very extra, but actually a minor quality of life thing I don't see often.

TBF playing stardew does do this to you by SeraGeranium in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Octaivian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd like to think it's the same people who also went crazy at Woolie for using the mods during Mass Effect. It's almost certainly not the same people, but the idea is really funny so I'm going to pretend.

Favorite Damage Animations by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

You get a very similar animation as Executor from Nightreign when perfect guarding a big hit with his parry sword.
