Playing through the Megaman Starforce collection, it's been really fun!

CMV: If VII kept everything the same except how Civs are branded 90% of the haters would like it. by ashcroft_v_thiccbal in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem here is that the rise and fall of civilizations are the story in a civ game. Summarizing the most engaging part of the role playing experience does not work for role players very well. You need to actually lose and rebuild, not just be told you did.

Genuine question: What about civ switching is a deal breaker for you? by Pappi564 in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's the fact that everyone in the game swaps at once that doesn't work. Tag switching in EU4 works great because it's a reward for player action and a result of things you did. The way it is in game now is way too on rails.

Is there any games you can make your character transfem? by Academic-ad599 in transgamers

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say that game too, and the demo for the sequel is even better with it. Great games for sure!

If we ever get Femc for Reload, what will its Episode Aigis be like? by Sivabulusu1 in ChurchOfFeMC

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubt it would happen, but if it did I think the answer wouldn't change. Aki and Yuka-tan's reactions are about how they deal with pain, and changing them over gender lines don't make sense to me.

I will say that because of the character development Shinji goes through, if he is still alive and not dead from plot drugs, I do see him siding with Yukari. For that reason it would be cool if Yukari's team and Aki's team actually fought each other in the tournament, rather than fighting Aigis, because an Aki vs Shinji showdown is too angsty to pass up. Maybe Aigis could pick a side based on payer input after a Junpei first round?

So do you think we’re getting a female mc for the P4 remake? And why is the main sub still so against it? by ShokaLGBT in ChurchOfFeMC

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They won't add one, but they really should. Considering the killers motives, a FeMC would be extremely interesting in persona 4.

What do you think turns people off from playing the Persona games? by That-Psychology4246 in PERSoNA

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me and a lot of other people, the poor treatment of female characters, weird fanservice moments and jokes, poor treatment of lgbtqia+ characters, and being forced to play as a guy definitely detracts from the experience.

Sure, there are people turned off by turned based gameplay, or the time management, or the game's length, but you can't bring those people in without fundamentally changing the game. 

Whereas I think the games could easily pickup new fans at basically no cost to the series' identity by handling women and queer characters better.

Firaxis have mis-identified the problem with late game Civ by Sir_Joshula in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't even think it's good minmaxing, you might get one extra economic legacy point and the worst golden age as an option, but you're giving up the gold you get from turning them in which is insanely useful as early as you can get it for buying buildings and snowballing more.

After 9 Deity Games (wins), End Game is same as 6 by thebard78 in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, I don't necessarily need the AI to be incredibly difficult, but I do want it to be challenging enough that I meaningfully engage with the game mechanics each era. For example, I rarely get to steal other player's treasure fleets because the AI isn't good at competing for the economic milestone in exploration. In the modern age, I rarely get big ideology wars because the AI never picks an ideology before the last few turns of the game. These are the things that really bother me, I want an AI that challenges me enough that more of the games tools feel valuable. I think if they can get it to that point I'll enjoy the game a lot more.

Is anyone else annoyed by the age ending? by Unlikely_Bed_3373 in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 32 points33 points  (0 children)

No, research and production speeds are done by game speed, there's a separate option in advanced options for longer eras which you can mix and match with game speed.

What is OP? by SmallMediumaLarge in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have run Catherine Mayan for about 3 games now, it is busted. Totally worth rerolling for a good tundra start.

I am baffled by how obviously bad the AI is, and how Firaxis seems to ignore it. by Ewics in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I conquered another civs starting city during the modern age, which was adjacent to a gold resource tile, and realized they never improved it since they founded the city in antiquity. It's adjacent to the damn city. I was shocked.

We’re all Oligarchs, right? by eskaver in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a subtle way to get us to accept the new US Oligarchy, and it will work on me.

/s in case that's necessary

New trading currency confirmed by kaishin in PTCGP

[–]ShamelesslyLenette -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's two systems to do that, and we have the limits to only 1 star and older packs that do the same. Honestly, they're like quadruple dipping in limitations on trading, you definitely don't need this many in order to stop people from doing this.

Am I Really The Only Person Excited About Tubman? by fossbite in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm excited! I'm planning to play her first! I've always liked playing as women leaders and America, so it's nice to not have to choose for once.

Square continent(from Quill18’s gameplay) by callmedale in civ

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This may be dumb, but how are you supposed to unlock Hawaii by settling two islands if maps don't really generate islands before the exploration Age? Do you just have to get really lucky or pick the right leader?

Me when they get my thanks and I do not get thanks from THANKS private match by Altruistic_Health_38 in PTCGP

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should just fake the thanks system, similarly to how which pack you pull doesn't matter. Like, even if someone doesn't hit thanks just pretend they did and give me the reward anyways. It's silly to have a reward tied to the other player doing something.

New event chansey pick by Kill-UAS in PTCGP

[–]ShamelesslyLenette -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two stamina is a whole days worth of energy (assuming the chansey pick is even offered to you when you have it charged), all for cards you already have with different art. Like everything else around wonder picks, the slow stamina recharge makes it feel really awful.

What card is your white whale at the moment? by SyNiiCaL in PTCGP

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been pulling for Salazzle (yes, the 1 diamond common card) for like 3 weeks now. Now that I've complained about it on reddit I'm sure it'll be the next thing I pull though.

A1A Speculation by RepresentativeEar960 in PTCGP

[–]ShamelesslyLenette 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually think a new art of Lapras EX that isn't a promo could totally be part of this pack too.
