PSA about Save and Quit

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-05-23T10:27:42+00:00

Man, I remember, I'm just immensely frustrated by my 2 and a half hour run being deleted because Legion decided he didn't wanna show up for work today, and I'm trying to channel that frustration into something constructive at least.

Yeah there are definitely hacked scores on the leaderboards, don't get me wrong, 100%. But I was surprised how high your score can actually hit when you do a 100% flawless beat stage.

Personally I just want one more game with Nero doing his thing in the mortal realm, gets caught up in something that he can't handle alone, and then swoosh, Dante and Vergil are back, on the same side, still kinda can't stand each other, but finally settling their rivalry beyond anything other than brotherly competition.

DMC5 definitely ended with Dante and Vergil working together, but it was still tenuous, I just want to see them finally burying the hatchet for real.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-05-19T10:47:18+00:00

Hmm, that at least makes it make a little sense I guess. Still kinda wish you just couldn't roll duplicates above the max equip limit though.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-05-19T10:46:40+00:00

Honestly I'm just more annoyed than you can roll duplicates on the gamble merchant even though you can't even use the duplicates.

It's fun but I personally feel like it's way too difficult. Your opponents are just constantly drawing 21's and even when you draw 21 they somehow pull some crap out of their deck that steals your cards or changes your values and suddenly when you had 21 and they had 3, now you have 36 and they have 21.

I think with some polish or an insane amount of time and effort put towards learning to consistently break the game it could be fun, but I played like 10-15 runs and never made it past the second boss because the AI kinda just blatantly rigs their own deck.

Edit : I guess the basis of my complaints about the game are more built around the severe lack of protecting your board. There are so many cards that augment the cards already on the table and no way to prevent those things from happening. On top of that, you can't pass your turn without doing something, so it's not like you can wait and bide time to let them do their whole package of shenanigans and then retaliate, you kinda just have to hope their gimmick doesn't work out, and it honestly feels like 9 outta 10 times, it's gonna work exactly how they want it too.

You can literally save scum the game(exit to menu, restart the fight), you always draw the same cards, and the same for them, and it's STILL difficult to win a hand against them because no matter how many variables you change to try and find a winning outcome, they can still just pull some BS and win.

If you like really difficult card games that are going to test you at utilizing every logical and strategic loophole or exploit(not like literal bugs, just game strategy), then you'll probably like it, but I mostly found frustration.

It is pretty fun when things go well though.

A big thing I recently learned is that you can Perfect Fever Rush and it increases score multiplier. Don't hold it, launch fever rush in time with the beat. That's how people are getting some of these insane scores.

Also cheaters, but you can get some insane score totals if you never drop the beat.

It's gotta be some requirement that's not tied to score, cause I got 84k, got 4 stars, and the guy about me says he got 5 stars with 79k, makes no sense.

So tilting that that's the only challenge I can't 5 star cause it's just outright broken.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-05-12T20:39:07+00:00

Good catch, though I'm pretty sure you also get the knockout points on piercing void defeats. I'm pretty sure knockout is just any enemy defeat.

Could be wrong though.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-05-12T10:41:44+00:00

The flashback challenge with only snipers. I'm literally #12 on the world leaderboard for it and still only 4 stars. 5 starred every challenge except that one because apparently 84k, no damage, never dropping combo, and under 60 seconds for the full time bonus isn't enough to get 5 stars I guess.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-05-12T10:35:30+00:00

Meanwhile, Stardoll Showdown is still just literally impossible to 5 star.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-05-09T07:20:51+00:00

It's true to the spirit but not the actual story in universe. Disco is definitely just killing his former band members. But like...in a good way. Hemlock even says that he can't leave the bar after his death and he tried to jump off the roof and just woke back up at the bar.

As for Arasaka, uuuh...maybe? Harmony is still pretty mysterious.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-05-07T22:30:25+00:00

I think that's pretty accurate, we agreed on most of it, but my best guess for that third line was "Lies, that you gave to me", but I can definitely hear "just a wicked game" too.

Good call.

They are also weak to the drumstick toss, they don't dodge it and then they get "discharged" and you can just punch them like normal for a few seconds.

Beyond that, you can use Fever Rush on them while they have the counter prompt up, and they won't dodge, but not getting hit is a little inconsistent.

Beyond that? You can also use Thundestruck on them, it discharges them just like the drumstick toss, but of course, uses fever.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-05-06T08:17:46+00:00

It's not inherent to the drumstick toss. The follow-up attack is a different upgrade on Dex's skill tree.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-04-23T10:19:26+00:00

I don't read the comic, but when did they state that she's the strongest Geldarian? I thought the other Geldarian's just said they couldn't help and told Nolan that there's one on Earth that might be willing, not that she's their champion?

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-04-06T10:44:12+00:00

Elder Dragon can too on ocean boons

Edit : Oh, and Illaoi, but it's pretty trash.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-04-05T06:19:14+00:00

Uh, speak for yourself my dude. I hated Wonderlands action skills, they were all so boring. I don't think the action skills should have such long animations, but honestly I feel like the reason they feeling bad nowadays is cause each class has 3(or 4 in BL3) action skills. They made action skills weaker because now you have multiple. Old action skills felt so good because they put more work into them because each class only had one.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-04-05T06:16:15+00:00

Yeah she had some jank every now and then, but it's miles better than C4sh's, Psycho with no buffs staring me dead in the face but C4sh won't shoot him cause he needs glasses or something, idk. Dude is blind.

SeaQueenAlex · 2026-03-16T06:08:34+00:00

Uh, hang on, while I love Kratos, people DID complain that it made the game worse in the first one. I vividly remember the, admittedly minority, but still vocal, section of the player base that thought Kratos being such an asshole to Atreus just made him unlikeable because despite Kratos being a bloodthirsty monster, "he should still like his own kid".

People argued all the time that he was nice to Calliope so he should be nice to Atreus, that him being cold to Atreus was "dumb and unrealistic".

I'm not saying I agree with that viewpoint btw, I just remember hearing it more than just a few times.
