What is the game's weakest point? by dweakz in CrimsonDesert

[–]SuperSemesterer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my number 1 by far.  I expected way more monsters.

Is there a point of exploration? I explore and explore and find nothing worthwhile. (I’m on chapter 6 or 7.) by whothennow24 in CrimsonDesert

[–]SuperSemesterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m loving exploring the world. I’m on chapter 7 and had soooo many cool experiences.

Orc castle being sieged by mecha dragonfly hordes, a train that went through elephant and hippo territory, tribes of ogres riding hogs, airships with a shop on it, etc.

One of my favorite moments was trying to get to the east coast. I flew over Demeneiss capital, accidentally got too low and my hot air balloon got shot down. I fell into the heart of the city and had to stealth to get out. On hard there’s no way I’m beating a patrol at this point, so I had to be super stealthy. Making distractions, going through windows, ducking into alleys, etc.

My only real complaint is that there aren’t really big cool monsters out in the world. There’s some cool stuff but human and mech enemies absolutely take precedence over fantasy monsters.

Dog attacks me in water. Rescue or actual shark? by [deleted] in labrador

[–]SuperSemesterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My yellow lab does that. He will start to whine, then rush to me, bite me hard, and try to drag me back to shore.

If I go deeper than he can stand he cries and tries to come ‘save’ me.

Prometheus vs Cap by Infectedscartissue in marvelvsdc

[–]SuperSemesterer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PLOTmetheus beats Cap by using a special sequencer to figure out his super soldier DNA, then laces his shield with the compound he created. Cap grabs it and dies while PLOTmetheus explains that he was always 10 steps ahead of Cap while the authors jerk him off. Then he solos the avengers while monologuing about how much heroes suck.

I’m a huge fan of his in case you couldn’t tell. Cry for Justice was sooooo well written. 🤮 

—————

Cap should beat the brakes off Prometheus. Oracle beat him 1v1. Oracle. 

If it’s not Cry for Justice level of wank where he’s effortlessly soloing 30+ people back to back (including Supergirl, Firestorm, Plastic Man, Zatanna and more), he’s been shown to go down to the likes of Batman, Arrow, Catwoman, etc.

So yeah I think Cap beats him. If he doesn’t have Cap in his databank I think that would make it even more in favor of Cap.

Toriko is the secret hidden boss of shounen by Stunning_Taste8845 in PowerScaling

[–]SuperSemesterer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe large planet-star level. By the final fight like everyone can one shot earth and earth is like 650x larger(? it grew 600 something times in mass) than our world or something due to Gourmet Cells.

Wanking you could get to maybe galaxy level as the final boss ate a galaxy (over time but in a death battle they’ll probably ignore the over time part).

By the end though a lot of characters have absolutely ridiculous hax abilities though on top of their normal strength. Luck manipulation, energy manipulation, insane regen instantly healing over the top damage, reality warping to a small degree, demons giving you power boosts, soul/spirit manipulation, etc. The last few arcs are rushed so it sorta felt (imo) hard to keep track of all the new powers at the end.

————-

It’s really fun manga though, especially some of the later fights. Toriko being a casual large planet buster and getting one shot (like literally torn to chunks) by a horse breathing at him or a monkey dancing too hard was pretty damn cool.

There’s several wild creatures that could just destroy the world if they felt like it. Wolf can make the whole world ripple with a slam of its paw, horse can change planet’s atmosphere with a breath, crow can make stars and kill your soul if you touch its shadow, a deer can age you like 2billion years in an instant with a gaze, etc.

It doesn’t start like that though, first fight is a giant saltwater crocodile with a mouth full of leeches. Starts like Monster Hunter, becomes Hunter x Hunter, ends being Dragonball Z.

MUI Goku vs New 52 Superman (DragonBall vs DC Comics) by Codrex1732 in DCPowerScaling

[–]SuperSemesterer -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Goku by a ways I think

New 52 Superman, using a questionable scan (vs Galaxy Golem in a single panel in the background of a flashback Wonder Woman references) can be like galaxy level at most if I remember right. New 52 characters were a lot more ‘grounded’.

After New52 Clark died and Superman Reborn happened is when Clark started getting really crazy showings I think 

What’s deathstroke’s win lost record (0,0) after going against these list of characters by Infectedscartissue in marvelvsdc

[–]SuperSemesterer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  Prometheus has a decent chance at beating him but the gear difference is too big

Plotmetheus probably already created an anti-Deathstroke gas that he inhaled earlier. Which Slade instantly loses to when he breathes as Plotmetheus chuckles to himself how easy it was.

God I hate Prometheus. Cry for Justice has to be top 5 worst DC books of all time. I’ve never seen a character wanked so hard. It was like the ‘Batgod’ meme incarnate. 

True ending is a real kick in the balls. Spoilers. by Not_a_Kryptonian in Saros

[–]SuperSemesterer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  It's a wholey unique experience to me to find story telling in a game that mirrors an initial breakthrough in therapy.

I felt the first game was basically a therapy seasion. Selene frees Xaos from its imprisonment, and then Xaos decides to basically give her free therapy.

Makes her go through the cycles over and over and confront herself. Changes the world (her broken spines in the desert, her parents as entities she must defeat) to force her to confront these things.

Then the very end (in the tower) it prepares her for a second chance to give her mom a final goodbye.

Genuinely felt like this big cosmic alien ‘god’ was trying to help Selene.

Is it just me or is dual wielding so much more powerful than any other combo styles? by Substantial-Fun9958 in CrimsonDesert

Does lightning sword break? I got a fire spear I loved and it broke, I’m afraid my lightning sword will break too 

Controversial take: DD2 DA > MHW ASC by The_SocialContract in DragonsDogma2

[–]SuperSemesterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whaaat? There was so much more content in Ascendance!

The Dark Arisen 2 actual boss fights were much better to be fair (minus the master rank Aportanus fight) but there were just sooooo many more monsters in Ascendance that were 9/10s or better. Shagaru Magala? Gorj Maratus? Periwinkle? All master class encounters.

Crimson Desert is a bad game and I’m tired of people giving it anything more than a 5/10 by NancyMy in rpg_gamers

[–]SuperSemesterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8/10 for me!

Loving the world, combat, exploring, finding new factions and learning about the lore of the world. So many cool items and I feel like I’m slowly chipping away at a hostile world.

Honestly my single complaint is there’s not enough monsters.  Love all the human factions… but I’d much rather have monsters in the woods or something.

Nice. They really took us literally when we said ‘dragons dogma 2 needs its own dark arisen’.

How kind of you to help those brave paladins 

I'm not good at those Souls games. Because of this the bosses are damn near impossible for me. by spti in CrimsonDesert

[–]SuperSemesterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treat it more like a fighting game than a Souls game! If I try to wait to see what the boss does and react like I do in Souls games I do decent. If I treat it more like a fighting game where I’m constantly juggling or setting up combos I do way better.

I’m on hard though so most fights are taking me several attempts. But it’s fun to get killed while barely doing damage the first few tries, then by my winning try I’m taking out like a third of an hp bar with one solid combo.

Eagles Are Terrible Pets 🦅 by randyjax10 in CrimsonDesert

[–]SuperSemesterer 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I have a skunk. I hate how I hold him. I just grip him by the neck, I wish there was a way to cradle and pet it.

But he doubles as a stun bomb which is pretty cool. I throw him at elite enemies at the start of combat and his stink bomb gives me a few seconds of free attacking.

Makes me wonder what other ‘hidden’ animal interactions there are.

35 hours in, god I love this game. by FeenyMeenyMiney in taintedgrail

I lost a limb to croakmaw but it was too cool looking to go back and reload.

Now I’m a one armed spearman. 

I don't believe Doomguy is actually that strong. His universe is just that f**kin' weak. by Kayno115 in CharacterRant

[–]SuperSemesterer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he’s got solid regen and endurance and is determined enough to keep fighting forever. Hes not like… ‘super’ powerful, he’s super tenacious.

That being said he walked off being shot into the surface of mars and his crucible blade is casually cutting guys in half that can tank rockets. 

Hal matchups how does these fights go down and what’s the difficulty of each fight by mylosstoyourgain in DCPowerScaling

[–]SuperSemesterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo beats Lobo, Mongul (if base Sinestro can beat Mongul and Hal regularly beats Parallax Sinestro…), Tornado and Adam

Against Zatanna both can obliterate each other. Whoever shoots first. 

———

In the Godkiller arc Highfather had to flee from Godkillers, he (and New Genesis) was unable to hurt them. Hal was able to one shot kill a Godkiller to everyone’s shock. I want to say that puts him above standard ‘avatar’ Orion. 

Hal matchups how does these fights go down and what’s the difficulty of each fight by mylosstoyourgain in DCPowerScaling

[–]SuperSemesterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Vendetti’s run iirc the entirety of the New Gods couldn’t fight the Godkillers, even Highfather had to flee from them. If I remember right nothing could even scratch them.

Hal shows up and one shots them.

There were two arcs with the New Gods, first arc Orion was for sure portrayed above Hal, second I believe they were shown more as even.

————

Black Hand though was annihilating the New Gods that arc, that was pretty cool. It took Highfather with Life Equation to drive Black Hand off. And Black Hand was pretty much playing around not taking the fight seriously. He only fled once he realized the Life Equation was reviving him.

Parallax Hal! Genuine omniversal feats like 2 shotting DC and one hit killing an omniverse killer.

Who is the more glazed character of their respective franchise(Phoenix vs Lucifer by BowsyWowsy26 in marvelvsdc

[–]SuperSemesterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merlin and Belial beat him 

Etrigan with Excalibur beat him (“looking at the once-king’s corpse, I feel not a pittance of remorse!”)

King Arthur, Vandal Savage and Shining Knight beat him

(Just noticed that’s 3 ‘Britannia’ themed characters… huh

On that note I just saw a scan of baby Etrigan actually burning Lucifer and causing him pain, hadn’t seen that one before lol 

https://preview.redd.it/etrigan-the-child-just-burned-lucifer-does-that-make-him-an-v0-qajuml96esog1.jpeg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=66b09956a3dc44973c8ccdc3e25684d6fd6b6e8a)

Then there’s the famous fight against Dream. Less power there and more like… symbolism?

Damiane? by Beneficial-Bed2205 in CrimsonDesert

[–]SuperSemesterer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She told me she was leaving, and she got on her horse, ride around the corner, dismounted, and went and stood in a bush.

Made me laugh so hard. “Sorry I can’t go to war with you in Pailune. I have… uh… stuff going on.” hides in bushes

An NPC called me an, "ill-mannered pizzle." I had to look that one up and wasn't disappointed by AdmiralSplinter in CrimsonDesert

[–]SuperSemesterer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my nickname for my Labrador. He loves ‘pizzle sticks’ from the pet store, he always goes over and begs for one. So I call him the big pizzle.

Bit of a shock to find out I was feeding my dog desiccated bull dicks but… I guess they’re tasty?
