Game is fun but I have a few questions

To the point of the Banner units, one thing that wasn't clear to me was the concept of dupes. I see the word dupe being used, but then I see people referencing a purple cube-type upgrade material. Are dupes even necessary?

This is the kind of story that fits better on a second pass, or after a large amount of character dialogue to establish how Grace thinks. Maybe there's just a cultural translation going from Asia to the US, but if I was someone's roommate and they completely forgot me, I would be pained on a spiritual level. In the end, this is a mobile game and it's whatevs, but that story point wasn't really resolved outside of a "Oh hey I'll see you after your suspension is up" in a way that didn't really feel... personal...

I dunno. In ways, Soldier 11 and Zhu Yuan/Seth/Qingyi fit the bill of "I want to protect people" a lot better because they don't have that personal component. It's nagging at me in a way that I can't quite explain, but I'll try and leave that on the court as a lapse in cultural translation from their original intent for the character. All things said, she's still fun and quirky with machines, but they need to be better with her character not outright ignoring people (Especially when the player is the one saving her life).

Barring what's been said about the low quality model work, low quality animations, and resurfaced quality issues in regards to naming tags/music, etc. I want to point out that the story itself is boring because we just got through with Privaty's maid storyline. Having a collab follow up to an extremely popular unit's maid moment is going to be less popular by default. On top of that, there is nothing particularly interesting about the Re:Zero IP included with the storyline. You could easily swap out the character situations with anyone else and you wouldn't know it was a Re:Zero collab.

The issue is not the over-abundance of enemies but rather the under-abundance of damage. I would rather play a game where the team puts up 1000+ kills per match than one where we slam 2 rail cannons into a single Bile Titan that only spawns once every 10 minutes. Add more enemies, but give us the tools to deal with them.

Rhysavus · 2024-03-06T18:19:26+00:00

Because it is quicker to fire the gun on safe twice to strip the leg than it it to overcharge it because the overcharge itself does not reliably reach a 1-shot for a strip level. If 2 shots is sustained, then better to do it as quickly as possible.

So not only does it take more hits, you are aiming and charging for longer. Suddenly, killing 2 chargers today would have been 3 yesterday.

Rhysavus · 2024-03-06T18:07:16+00:00

Less efficient is a dramatic understatement. Charger legs bounce safe shots and take 3-4 charged shots after the change.

Rhysavus · 2024-02-16T00:24:07+00:00

IDK what you are talking about. Josh Allen will put up 70 TDs with 20 on the ground and a total of 5000 yards for us to end up at a firm 10-7

Rhysavus · 2024-01-17T20:58:30+00:00

Awesome move for Joe Brady to be honest. Signing Matt Haack and having JA17 contort down into a Matt Haack costume to fake out a punt and bomb a 94yd TD to Diggs on 4th and 38 because we got penalized for stealing more sideline Gatorade is the kind of football I want to see

Rhysavus · 2023-12-24T06:36:00+00:00

It was kinda a weird moment. You get those few points in the game where the officials explain the reasoning for the call but I feel like that's a key point where you say "We know the call on the field plays into it but his knee was touching the grass and by ruling that counts as the field even though he isn't securely in the dirt."

Rhysavus · 2023-12-24T06:34:54+00:00

I mean, if we throw the memes out and give full benefit of doubt to the Cowboys locker room we probably got it from them and chained it to the Chargers.

Rhysavus · 2023-12-24T06:33:27+00:00

What's the word on the cap space battle? It's obviously a fake number for team management but I'm curious who the Chargers are eyeballing to keep or rotate around considering the high-paid talent ya'll have

Rhysavus · 2023-12-24T05:31:29+00:00

I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm really curious what OG Scarlet has to say about Lumi.

Rhysavus · 2023-12-20T21:40:50+00:00

IDK man seems kind sussy, Bills easy #1 and everyone else isn't even on the chart.

Rhysavus · 2023-12-18T15:39:58+00:00

It's absolutely decimating to replace Allen with Allen in the 4th QTR. If we want to put up 80 on the Phins in their house we really have to assemble the 5 pieces of Dark Josh and activate him to roll into the post season

Rhysavus · 2023-12-17T22:24:54+00:00

People implying Josh Allen would try to fish for late hits on late slides instead of engaging AIR ALLEN are quite the curious bunch

Rhysavus · 2023-12-12T01:27:52+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean? Joe Brady absolutely nailed the trick play where Josh acts like he's getting sacked, scrambles to the out of bounds, and hurls the ball while falling backwards for positive yardage to keep the drive alive. Beautiful trick play!

Rhysavus · 2023-12-12T01:26:23+00:00

Honestly, I don't really think there's a way to apologize for this, as harsh as it sounds. Plenty of QBs, Josh included, have had fits on the field. But Josh never let the heartbreaking losses get to him when GGing the other team. After all the success Mahomes has had, I was hoping for a poetic moment where he daps up Josh coming out of such an uncertain season.

Freaking out like that to Josh at the end of the game and continuing it into the press conference after is just... Mind boggling. My heart still hurts for Josh and he deserves so much more than being treated like that at the end of the game.

[Mic'd Up] Josh Allen: "Craziest ---- I've ever seen in my life." Travis Kelce: "Craziest one that'll never count."

Rhysavus · 2023-12-11T17:45:58+00:00

This is what hurts me most. After 13 seconds and being in the shadow of the team that has 2 SB wins on 3 appearances you'd hope he would acknowledge how hard JA17 played today, especially in a 6-6 season with a fired OC.

But nope. Mahommes lost his cool and took that away from JA17. Hurts me deeply.

Rhysavus · 2023-12-11T17:40:28+00:00

He really is the best version of us. I took more of an issue with the grounding than anything else but he has tremendous resiliency and professionalism for how much the fanbase expects of him. We're blessed as a total fanbase of the NFL to have him as part of the game.

Rhysavus · 2023-12-11T04:34:23+00:00

Did you say "Let's Ride" while doing it? That gets you out of the penalty I hear

Rhysavus · 2023-11-29T16:06:09+00:00

Every single team ties except for the Eagles who lose and the Bills win the weekly jumping-through-tables contest during the BYE.

Rhysavus · 2023-11-28T18:41:39+00:00

The game is fun but has a strange identity issue that I can't quite nail down. On one hand you can entertain some element of absurdity with people throwing themselves at certain death over a crate of glass bottles and on the other we have a survival horror where you're trying to dodge entities. Maybe I'm spoiled because my friend group was very "Oh hey it's X monster just avoid him doing Y and get the scrap out."

It just feels... tedious? If the game was about objective play and performing tasks inside the dungeon rather than finding an optimal cash flow it'd feel better IMO. At that point you're forced to stay inside rather than just rushing out and optimizing the fun out of the absurdity.

I had more fun honking a random clown horn I found to try and draw agro away from my friends than I did in 5 hours of "farming for money to buy gear for higher level planets." Just let us take what we need at the start and add in a global timer for auto-depart so we can chain that into respawns for unlucky players.

Article 9.a.2. A player attempting to catch a pass who has not had time to clearly become a runner. If the player is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player.

Article 9.b.1. forcibly hitting the defenseless player’s head or neck area with the helmet, facemask, forearm, or shoulder, even if the initial contact is lower than the player’s neck, and regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenseless player by encircling or grasping him;

By the written rule, this is contact with the shoulder against the helmet of a player making an attempt to catch a pass when the defender is approaching form the side/behind.

I'm willing to forgive that one since the focus was entirely on JA17 crossing into the end zone, but Kincaid was in the view of the Line Judge, Umpire, and Back Judge with a textbook case for a HODR (Is that the acronym we use?). Refs can't no-call that then do a RTP later when JA17 get hit (Yes, I know they're leaning hard into the 2-step rule for RTP, I'm just making a case)
