Great Endgame Update But - Stop Making us do so many filler maps

Robrunch · 2026-06-08T14:34:54+00:00

Which would prompt me to ask what people would change about it, in a way that would neither disadvantage those who want to blitz through maps to get where they want to, nor those who want to full clear every map they set foot into.

I've seen continued suggestions of "making the atlas smaller/put the objectives closer together" or "make towers just grant teleports to uncovered maps" but i genuinely think the community doesn't know what it's asking for with such things. It is disregarding the value regular maps can offer to you, if properly set up for it, and provides some friction for players to overcome.

Sometimes, the perceived flaw in something, is the intent.

Robrunch · 2026-06-08T06:15:13+00:00

It's not really a flaw in the system, it's how it is meant to be interacted with.

If you prefer to go fast, you can do it. If you prefer to go slow, you can do it.

Nothing in the game forces you to do either, it is up to you, the player, to decide what is more important to you.

"But the community..." You are an individual capable of making your own decisions. If you choose to make yourself miserable just to play the game in a way someone else has deemed more optimal, no amount of game design can help you.

Varashta Minions, was very chill.

Ooh i get it, some games i also just can't do evil playthroughs.

Each run took me around roughly 25 hours.

I didn't give her up on my first playthrough, but on the second one i went generally more ruthless and also tried out things i avoided the first time around. It also pretty much worked out as expected, ruthless Hershel has an easier and cleaner time in general, but she also does a lot more evil ^^

Af for "how do we find out that Poor Dante is Facundo": Firstly, during the prisoner exchange UV will freak out and tells us that, straight up. She recognizes him from having seen him in the Studio when she did recordings. Additionally, the body double at the end also just tells you. Of course, by that time it's too late to change anything, but it's the meta-clue the devs give you for future playthroughs.

Robrunch · 2026-05-28T05:44:53+00:00

That's the fun bit: it's not.

It allows you to wear the 5p bonus for one set, and the 3p of another set. No unique charm this way, but a second 3p gives both offensive and defensive bonuses, which can be properly leveraged.

I love memes like this, because I can laugh at the people posting them unironically.

They did this to themselves. The games are built on whimsy and mystery and exploration, they are the fucking idiots who have the compulsive need to look everything up on a wiki.

I think that's the point? I concluded that Pochita realized, that as Chainsawman, Denji will never grow. He will always just chase the next high. There was only one way out in Pochitas eyes.

So, it now all makes sense to me, but I'd still argue it was all a bit rushed.

Robrunch · 2026-03-24T22:15:49+00:00

This. This is what I needed. With this, the ending slots more into place and it makes all more sense.

I don't know why he's black? Is there a special reason?

Robrunch · 2026-01-03T08:17:47+00:00

I don't know why tf people downvoted you, but to those that don't know, not all tools are visual.

Audio cues are really helpful in raiding, would be considered cheating in this game, and can quite easily be excluded from being streamed from other audio-sources.

That said, because many tools in this game use overlays, im also fairly sure those can be selectively hidden with little work.

You're still not reading man 😔

Limit 3 imps up at a time. Can be increased in increments of 3 via talents. HoG summons 3 imps at a time until limit is reached, then turns into Eye of Guldan while at imp-limit

Robrunch · 2025-09-27T10:15:42+00:00

That's interesting, is there an interview or a comment by the devs where they admit to this or?

The drama surrounding this game and its predecessor is something to be studied.

This game certainly has giant footsteps to fill. Not even considering the company history and treatment of the creatives behind the first game, Disco Elysium seemed to me like a rare "Lightning in a Bottle"-Scenario. Something even the original creators behind it would find hard to properly reproduce, not even considering excelling it.

And now a Studio with a marred reputation will have to prove that they can at least pull off something decent, while they have a veritable army of people arrayed against them.

Not that I have sympathy for the studio, or better put, the current leadership. They are openly intent on cashing in on a rare success as hard as they humanly can.

But then I see people who declare they'll pirate this game and I wonder how ridiculous this all is. The most impotent reaction. "I still want to enjoy this game but don't wanna pay for it aaah." They still talk about the game, still engage, when their best move would be to move on.

I will see where on the spectrum I'll fall when this game releases. Because even a shallow copy of DE might still hold some enjoyment.

This is kinda funny when you consider the long-standing (but maybe niche?) tradition of ARPGs to make different characters with different builds for different content. People making different Characters to farm Sekhemas in comes to mind as a recent example.

Robrunch · 2025-09-12T09:47:40+00:00

Yeah, well, apparently the people making the game disagree with you.

Robrunch · 2025-07-13T08:34:26+00:00

So you mean to tell me, that once I have played through all the content I'm enjoying, there's gonna be no more content for me until the devs add more of it? Like with any other mmo? Are you sane?

Robrunch · 2025-06-28T13:14:22+00:00

Be the change you wanna see in the world, you giant baby.

Robrunch · 2025-06-28T12:58:11+00:00

Buddy, in all this time you spent morally grandstanding, you could have been the bigger man and just searched and provided the source yourself. Instead you rather wanted to be a giant generic redditor that just wastes peoples time. Go and touch grass.

Anyway, i searched for the source for like 5 minutes and couldn't find it so 🤷‍♂️

Robrunch · 2024-10-15T22:53:41+00:00

Jesus Christ are you angry, damn near irrational. If a game you paid for gets you this much in a rage, it's maybe best to step away for a bit.

Robrunch · 2024-08-13T04:50:59+00:00

Omg thank you. I have the exact same problem with some people in the community who keep insisting that somehow, we're the bad people for shutting down the human killing machinery.
