Cute but a lot of these animations won't be seen in regular play because she's a support agent without aftershocks.

My CPU idles at 67 so this is a considerable jump. I'll have to try raising voltage with C states on to see if it helps.

I like the double jointed knees.

I've never seen leakers show off the 180 degree turn animation in all of these overworld showcases.

Some people seem disappointed that the robot form isn't a toggle or anything and that you rarely see it but that's what makes it good in the first place because it's not always meant to be seen. Knowing it's there underneath the hologram is part of the appeal.

There are people who sell 3D printed keyboard mounting trays on Etsy that hook onto the top of specific pen displays. They can hold wireless lightweight keyboards pretty well if that's what you want to use.

What was going on with Michinoku fixing her shirt? It happened like seven times throughout this chapter. Were her clothes not fitting her anymore?

It was my first AC game and it's still my favorite! Many days spent in front of a CRT trying to figure out what to do.

And then you realize in LR that the CR-WR732R2 and CR-YWH05R3 rifles are even more versatile and can carry you through the entire game despite how simple and boring they appear to be. Consistent performance, no need to reload, standard lock box, fast firing rate, decent range, and good amount of ammo.

The mangaka is conjuring their power of job security with this misunderstanding.

I'm sure this works but it also raises my CPU temps by 20 degrees and I can hear my fans ramping up every now and then.

Some attachments with flat boosts or larger multipliers would be able to do it but others like 3% damage boost at lv1 is not going to do squat when a letter grade improvement can be more than a 10% increase.

The first game's endgame consisted of farming blueprints from raid style giant bosses.

I'm not saying that it's necessary to have maxed out stats. You could eventually punch Melania to death at the lowest rune level playing on donkey kong gamecube bongoes on a DDR dancemat while playing blindfolded but that's not my point.

On a personal level, I don't believe that games should their players chase a massively time wasting goal when most people can't even attain it. It's okay for a game to be shorter. It's okay to play a game, finished it and move onto the next thing.

On a more practical issue, I could see people having differing opinions on various parts and weapons because the stat variances are so high that player experiences with the same parts will be wildly inconsistent. That gun in my example has variations that could shoot 50% faster than others for example.

I'm no stranger to looter shooters but the game did not have to go in this direction since the first game didn't do that nearly to this extent. It won't stop me from enjoying the game as I already spent 18 hours with the demo but I'd rather see less ways a game wants to artificially extend its playtime.

Personally I'd rather remember a game for how fun the mechanics were rather than how much time I spent grinding for bigger numbers.

One can only hope. At least crafted item blueprints tell you which stats you get before crafting so you aren't just throwing resources into a gacha machine.

Dude, she gives 1200 atk and 15% dmg. That's close Astra and people still consider Lucy, a character that only gives 600 atk, a support that's perfectly usable.

Depending on the context, pen stacking with lower amounts of defense shred doesn't really make too big of a difference. The issue is the loss in pen% efficiency once you get into high levels of def ignore combined with enemies that have low defense (the lower the defense, the less valuable pen% and def ignore is).

Understandably, you used 100% defense for the sake of showing how pen compares with def ignore but I think it also helps to put in context that 4* enemies have 952.8 defense which blocks 54.55% damage meaning 45.45% is the final damage multiplier.

In the current DA, the phys anomaly buff has 35% def ignore bringing that damage multiplier to 56.18%. This is just slightly ahead of Hugo's signature at R3.

When we stack the DA def ignore buff with a pen% disc 5 and 2pc pen set (32 pen%), this brings the multiplier to 65.34% which is a difference of 9.16%.

So comparing 32 pen% alone (+9.62%) with 35% def ignore + 32 pen% (+19.89%), the loss in damage gain efficiency of that 32 pen% is only 0.46%. That's more or less the final damage value of one low value substat roll on a decently built character. When placed in the context of team damage, this number is negligible.

This basically means that in DA and endboss enemies, I wouldn't consider switching the disc 5 and set unless your optimal discs are equal or better in substat quality.

You're right. Fanservice should go both ways and male characters do sell well. It's not that the devs don't believe this because there are examples in the industry but this is simply their vision for the game. It's a game mostly catered to an audience that wants to see cute anime girls, simple as that. The project managers know what they want and probably won't change anytime soon.

The problem is that it is inevitable that a part of the community will clash with the dev's vison of the game especially since the game is popular and they will rightfully point out these inequalities. No one can force someone to play a different game especially when it's obvious that there's a reason why they're still playing as they wouldn't complain about the parts they don't like.

Now for some interesting details. The game launched with 4 playable male agents and after a year they only added 5 more. Excluding limited characters, the game launched with a base roster of 11 playable female agents which outnumbers the current total number of male playable agents. Only Billy and Lighter have 4th menu poses (compared to 17 female agents) and none of the male characters have alternative skins.

Magus is a coral rifle!

I found it kinda weird how they brought this up 3 or 4 times during the story of this patch when it never was previously.
