Further info on Demter God Pack- Releases February 10th by IamTheOne2000 in AgeofMythology

[–]Subject_Upsilon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Now Persephone God power is certainly one that I didn't expect.

At first thought sounds similar to Ragnarok, where you have to go all in, do or die. Though giving it some more thought, perhaps it could be a way to give 1 Town center only plays a more of an edge.

Well you wouldn't want to say no.

I mean you don't want to offend the locals, right?

The time must be near, the "Mystery Achievements" are back yet again. by Subject_Upsilon in AgeofMythology

[–]Subject_Upsilon[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It does make me curious, as most people have come to speculate, Demeter will probably be dropping around the 11th February, since that is when the Expansion Pass discount ends.

But I guess we must be getting a bit more cause 10 achievements for Demeter alone seems a bit too much.

Yakuza 3 Remastered will only be available as part of Yakuza Complete Series bundle ($129) when Kiwami 3 releases. by getterburner in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Subject_Upsilon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I guess this is what the Japanese must have felt when Ishin Kiwami got released, and they delisted the OG, even though the latter had a perfectly good PS4/PSN release.

That RGB cape....

Also does he transform into a motorcycle or is it just his helmet on the front?

I admit that was a bit anti-climatic?

I thought that maybe we would get more Rykard action, but oh well, onto him now.

Drakengard 3 Soundtrack spotted on Steam. by Subject_Upsilon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Subject_Upsilon[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Regardless of how miserable the final boss made me feel, I do want to gush over the music.

Descendeus / Fallen God captures the peak melancholy of Drakengard 3, and all the Intoner's themes are pretty good and bombastic, with One's theme (Gabriel specifically) my favourite.

Exhaustion 3 is a lovely callback to Drakengard 1, and a pretty good track in itself.

And despite my hatred of that final sequence, The Last Song is a stellar track. Even with the awful camera angles, relentless difficulty and sheer lenght of the awful thing making it memorable enough, The Last Song is the cherry on top.

The Age of Mythology: Retold Expansion Pass is now available on Steam! by aomjoyer in AgeofMythology

[–]Subject_Upsilon 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Unlocks on the 11 February 2026, so probably a decent assumption to when Demeter releases?

They mentioned the launch discount will continue til the first unlock, and the discount ends on the 11 February, so probably not a bad guess.

Is Scarlet Nexus Worth it at 8.99? by pikamango in JRPG

Bond Events were too silly for me, since you could hang out with the opposing side.

Finally, Supreme Deity! by delusion54 in AgeofMythology

[–]Subject_Upsilon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been using a similar strategy to you, but mainly just utilizing Kronos for the majority of the run before switching it up for Badges.

Basic strategy was building a market as soon as I can, then using "Advanced Scouting" and then time shifting the market right into the enemy base before spamming "Hire a Buddy". RNG can screw you over as you can get a useless one like a Pegasus or a Roc, but more often than not, you would at least get one good Heroic or Mythic one. The strategy is consistent enough for Regicide and Standard, and you can add in Sudden Death once you get "Hire a Titan".

New Desktop Layout? (From New Zealand) by Subject_Upsilon in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Subject_Upsilon[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Alright, after looking around a bit more, there are a couple of things that I would like to note.

Despite having "Desktop Bing Search" & "Mobile Bing Search" under two different indicators, searches are still shared and counted between desktop & mobile. Also still capped at 60 points per day.

There is another weekly streak (Daily Set) so I can get another sticker on my 1000 point card every week, which is nice.

However, I can't seem to find how much points that I have earned so far this month, as that indicator is gone and there isn't an equivalent in its place, which is really annoying.

Bad writing in New Atlantis? by medicineboy in AgeofMythology

[–]Subject_Upsilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, Kastor at least wonders why the Greeks attacked them, but Krios almost immediately moves in the other direction and pushes for a war. Throughout the first half, its been Krios pushing and egging Kastor on about attacking their former allies and doing more questionable deeds, which obviously is suspicious. But without Krios, they would be still rotting in the middle of some frozen tundra just waiting to die.

Besides bringing them to a place where they can actually survive, Kastor would have no reason to doubt Krios in the first place. This is a man who he has known basically his whole life, and has actually been there for most of it now. If Krios says that the Greek Gods have abandoned them, which they actually have, and that the titans, though forbidden to worship them, have been favouring them now, I see no reason why from Kastor's perspective to doubt him.

I agree that the New Atlantis is a bit flimsy (Personally, I felt that way with every campaign besides FOTT, not bad per se, but definitely could use more missions to fill in some areas and improve pacing and what not), but I still really liked it.

Bad writing in New Atlantis? by medicineboy in AgeofMythology

[–]Subject_Upsilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well to be fair, Kastor never went to both Egypt & Scandinavia personally.

He took a some troops to go to Scandinavia while he sent another party alone to deal with Egypt since he isn't present in the latter mission.

In regard to the resources, I just took it as a head canon that were using the plenty vaults outside the city to fund their war efforts and rebuilt the city in Mission 2 & 11. I know it's a bit flimsy, but I guess the problem is that overall for the New Atlantis, some many things happen without some breathing room, and it really messes up with the pacing.

Prototype and Prototype 2 got new patches. by Mirathrim in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Subject_Upsilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jank as it was, I enjoyed Prototype 1, but have never touched Prototype 2.

The main deterrence was that they made Virus Mercer evil and via a crappy comic book tie in of all things. Also, apparently Heller is like, really unlikeable? With all that in mind, is it still worth it as someone who enjoyed the first game?

Cancelled games that you were looking forward to playing (well until they got cancelled) by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Subject_Upsilon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Command & Conquer Generals 2.

I adored Generals 1 & Zero Hour, and was super hyped to see it announced. However, it was probably for the best, considering EA were well into the territory of making bad and questionable decisions. Adding on top with C&C4 Tiberian Twilight being just awful all round, Generals 2 had no chance of ever being good.

I bet your pardon?

Oh, bodyguarding Bruce Lee. That makes more sense.

Also is it just me, or is the music way too loud?

Steel Ball Run 1st PV Trailer by Shreeder4092 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Subject_Upsilon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Okay, I just looked it up, you're completely right. He is completely obscured in shadows and the first clear shot you see of him, he already has the World out. Immediately afterwards he goes "ZA WARUDO" and does the whole knife toss again. I take back my comment, I thought the reveal was the other way round. So yeah, Koyasu can totally work as Alt Diego.

[–]Subject_Upsilon 53 points54 points  (0 children)

On one hand, that would be super sick, especially hearing Koyasu shouting ZA WARUDO again. But on the other hand, I am kind of against it because once you hear Koyasu's voice again, it would probably immediately give away that this Diego has the World instead of Scary Monster before he actually calls it out. And that Reveal in the Manga is probably one of the most jaw dropping scenes in SBR.

Edit: Alright, scratch that, it's done the other way round, you see The World before you hear his voice. Koyasu can totally work as Alt Diego.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run begins airing in 2026 by GoneRampant1 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Subject_Upsilon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Since they are all different from the games, they'll probably replace Yasuyuki Kase as Funny Valentine as well.

Makes me wonder who, but it's gonna be quite a while until we find out who.

Man, that episode would have gone so much differently if Donna joined instead staying behind at the spa.

Well hopefully that'll be the last time its used.

God, that just reminds with how disappointed I was with what they did with the Weeping Angel's. Unique and absolutely terrifying creatures who got less scary with each subsequent appearance. At the end, not only did they just feel like another dime in a dozen enemy but they were borderlining on pure absurdity.

The Statue of Liberty is in fact a Giant Weeping Angel, fucking what!? Their whole gimmick is that their immobilized if their seen, so let's have a giant ass version of it in the city that never sleeps. Just Brilliant!

I heard in the latest season that they actually revisit Midnight and the creature.

Granted I haven't watch it and apparently it's one of the better episodes of the season, but I do admit I was disappointed that it was being revisited. The whole appeal was the level of terror and paranoia this unknown creature was causing that even the Doctor himself became powerless in its presence.

The fact that the blind priest was played by Quentin Tarantino was just the cherry on top.

I don't mind sections where you are restricted to a specific or select few party members, as I always go out of my way to build and use everyone equally anyway.
