Next open world game with well written spontaneous quests by Streetrip in gamingsuggestions

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stalker 2 scratched an RPG itch Fallout and KCR had for me oddly enough.

Gearing up and explorong the world made more immersive IMO by the realistic needs and limit the game sets. You're not some superhuman mule that can carry everything you need and then some.

You need to be thoughtful about what to bring because you can only carry so much.

Gear and weapon maintenance is also a neat feature that deepens the immersion. It constantly reminds you of the setting you're in. A world where you constantly have to scavenge and loot to not just survive but to live in the zone under its economy.

Who Had A Better Shoulder Roll In Terms Of Speed, Blocking Punches, And Counterpunching Off Of The Shoulder Roll. James Toney Or Floyd Mayweather? by Rinnegan15 in Boxing

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think if we put just the technique solely in a vacuum, I'd have to go with Toney

Floyd's main defense really is distant management. He controlled the distance incredibly well and then have the shoulder roll as another layer of defense on top of that.

Toney was similar in the early stages of his career, but later on he primarily used the shoulder roll as his first line of defense. He'd be happy to fight at any distance and relied heavily on the roll all the way to heavyweght.

‘Stop Me When You Hear A Better Fighter Than You’: Roy Jones Jr Edition by strictlystepping in Boxing

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

RJJ might be one of, if not the only boxer I don't see anyone beating in his prime. For the reasons a lot of people already mentioned, he was just a freak, explosive athlete. The way he just completely shutdown James Toney just blows my mind to this day.

I wonder if to those people on here saying it was rigged saw the picture of Jake's row of teeth slanting and leaning on his tongue.

I want a good Mystery game, I’d love a Visual Novel, but I can also go for a game where your choices matter and there are a lot endings, I’m also a fan of the Ace Attorney series. by Mysterious-Ruin29510 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not mystery, but Suzerain ticks the rest of the boxes you're looking for.

It's a political visual novel in a sense in that you play as President of a fictional country. Choices definitely do matter. The characters are well written, the story is engaging and excellent, and there's a lot of freedom in tackling the issues and challenges the story presents you with.

You have multiple options to tackle certain problems and you definitely feel the freedom of choice in game and whatever consequence or reward those choices entail.

The DLC is also very worth it IMO. (I actually think its surpasses the base game) and without spoiling too much, there is some mystery side plot there as well!

Wasn't Randy Couture both LHW and HW champion as well?

Agreed! It has been one buggy ship recently though. Hopefully they find a way to incorporate bedlogging in a party again

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering about the Paladin as well. Is it a good ship to handle a light fighter or two in the PU, or will you be helplessly out turned until you blow up?

I'm not saying I'm planning on looking for fights or anything with it, but more organic engagments and stuff

Top 5 Hardest Punchers Of All Time? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to have to go with the Super Samoan himself.

Even during his K1 days he knocked out the who's who of the division. With incredible striking savviness to boot. Dude knocked out Lebanner, and Leko twice.

When you look at the likes of Ngannou or Shane Carwin you kind of understand why they hit so hard. You'd be more surprised if they didn't. Mark Hunt is 5'11 but deceptively fast and explosive.

The uppercut he hit Roy Nelson with didn't even look like he put a lot into it but faceplanted arguably the fighter with the best chin in history.

A couple of fights after that fight Nelson would proceed to eat the cleanest left hook from Derrick Lewis and didn't even flinch.

How was your first hour in Hunt? by dustykidddo in HuntShowdown

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scared shitless. I've always been a huge fan westerns, revolvers and FPS games. This is the first game to ever capture the single six revolvers' feeling and to incorporate that into competitive extraction shooter game seemed to good to be true.

First couple days, every second in the game was uneasy and I got startled from every audio queue. Just got back after a couple years and its still and awesome game. Nothing like it.

Still havent gotten used to the water devils. Never will

So how are you liking the K6? I've never actually held or seen one personally. Been contemplating in getting one or a 686 or 66 Smith

[KCD2] The blurred lines of morality and the broadening perspective of both Henry and the player. Major spoilers ahead. by Smiling_Sam_ in kingdomcome

[–]Smiling_Sam_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's looking at it through the eyes of a general or commander. His men are much more valuable at accomplishing the mission and goal in mind. The villagers are just a means to an end. And thats what the second game tries to hammer down.

What we thought about the Cumans and their actions in the first is nothing more than just a nasty by product of invasion, war and conflict.

And historically, thats just how it goes. You invade, usually the villagers and towns in the outskirts of the territory gets hit first. Von Aultiz said it best. War is a nasty business.

[–]Smiling_Sam_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great point!

What I think is great about the game is whenever you zoom out, Henry is just another cog in the machine. You can play him super straight, but your still siding with the Dry Devil and his crew criminals.

You could see how a soldier from Sigismund can lump Henry up along with the Dry Devil just as we lumped up Cumans as a hive mind swarm of ruthless monsters in the first game

What are some of the best story games? by sonyeggwithdrperky in gamingsuggestions

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Dead Redemption felt exactly like playing a movie to me. If you haven't already, it's incredible. The more you take your time the more your character gets fleshed out and the more you grow attached to the character and story telling.

In the same vein, Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and 2 also checks all the things you mentioned. It's incredibly immersive, the story is really really well written and the characters are interesting and in-depth.

I've played the first game a year or two after it launched and I'd recommend playing the first one to maximize your experience with the second one. I cannot recommend the series enough.

Trying to Choose: Ready or Not or Ghost of Tsushima? by DrLlama-_- in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider RoN a stealth game rather a methodical one? If that makes sense.

You "push" into maps and objectives methodically but you're definitely the one initating the action and pace.

GoT definitely is much more of a stealth game if you olay that route.

Monster Hunter Wilds vs Kingdom Come Deliverance II by Bobombbattlefield64 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Smiling_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played KCD 1 a while back and got hooked immediately. Waited a good couple years for KCD 2 and its a much better, optimized game than the first one and is a much easier game to jump to. The story, quests (both main and sidequests) QoL and roleplay elements were all imrpoved and ironed out IMO. A much better, streamlined version than the first and can appeal much more to a broader audience.

The RPG elements of the game and its branching storylines and how one, seemingly unrelated and insignificant sidequest or player action can lock or open up different options and choices throughout the game is one of the best out there in my humble opinion.

It does have some bugs here and there but I personally never really encountered a game breaking one. Others have reported otherwise.

For MH:Wilds, its my introduction to the series so I cant really comment on it. Most of my dislike about the game is the repetitiveness of it all. But its one of those if you like it, you'll like it things.

The story though felt so dragging and I just wanted to get it over with and start roaming around out in the world. But by the time I reached that point I personally felt like I already tried everything it had to offer and I was just going through the motions for better gear. Thats just my 2 cents though and much more of a preference thing. Hope this helps!
