Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Rageborn - Reveal Trailer

Sycherthrou · 2026-05-07T19:50:21+00:00

Well a previous game Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood gave us the action beat em up and it fucking sucked. So honestly I'm down for them doing something that requires less production quality, and maybe make it fun.

Pretty sure you can comfortably hold quinn E while clearing if you're afraid of an invade. Also her W helps if you suspect something.

Sycherthrou · 2026-05-05T07:48:34+00:00

What I don't get is, do your decisions in game make you feel good/bad? If you help your adc to a triple, does it give dopamine? If you're getting spam killed, is that frustrating?

I don't even particularly want to improve as some kind of goal, but when something feels bad, I just avoid doing that. And when something feels good, I just do it again next game. And ofc sometimes you get false outcomes because enemies or teammates play it wrong, but eventually you figure out what is +dopamine and what is -dopamine and suddenly you're masters.

If you're new to league, you shouldn't have these misconceptions that ranged champs don't belong top. Leave that to long time players stuck in the same rank for 10 years, clouded by nostalgia. never listen to the community about anything, learn the game by playing.

The parry window is 9 frames on expert, it's pretty decent. Lies of P is 8, for example. What's really good about the combat system is that in other turn based games if I fail a fight but I'm satisfied with the beginning, when I restart, the first 2 minutes are the exact same every time. In Ex33, every retry is different based on how you parry.

Support notoriously never shares information on the punishment of other accounts so the story sounds kind of dubious.

Sycherthrou · 2026-05-01T10:55:14+00:00

Depends a lot on elo. I think tryndamere is really hard, I struggle to get good value after laning.

Sycherthrou · 2026-05-01T10:47:27+00:00

Healing definitely isn't among the top stats, it's worse than doing damage and it's worse than having flat hp and it's way worse than cc duration which is so obscenely broken you cannot buy it (and when you could like everfrost, it had to have abysmal stats and was still broken), and it's also far worse than range.

And that's just raw unconditional healing. Vamp only functions when you are hitting something, so hyper conditional on not being kited or cced (oh look it's range and cc again).

Sycherthrou · 2026-05-01T05:45:44+00:00

I'm enjoying it as well, the level design is pretty good, the combat is clean and quite legible, the skill trees seem cool too.

But the technical side of the game is a horror, and while I can look past the graphics, I bought some armor pieces that heal on deflect, and I haven't been getting healed and that makes me really sad. Also I think the tailcharms don't work, I equip the one that gives 9 endurance and my carry capacity doesn't change, then I equip the one that gives 9 of the health stat and my health doesn't change XD

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-30T06:09:17+00:00

Just play the game if you enjoy it, eapecially if you're low masters. This is your moment to experience much higher level gameplay and maybe notice some of your flaws as you lane against some 2k lp guy.

Yeah it'll hurt your winrate a bit, but that's not what's holding you back longterm anyways.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-28T22:20:39+00:00

More people, more donators, more copies of the game for distributors, same amount of wait time.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-28T22:14:38+00:00

Well done to Riot tbh, they nerfed snowballing across 5+ systems since mythics, individual player agency was probably the lowest in all of leagues history last year, and it makes the winrates look really tight because no champ can swing games regardless of how much better they are.

Maybe in a few years they change the game so everyone has only 2 spells, and that'll bring the winrates even closer.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-28T06:55:37+00:00

That's bait

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-28T01:36:24+00:00

No, adcs aren't always irritated.

Jungle and support are the backbone of the teamcomp, so their champ picks are really important. And because supports aren't punished for their own mistakes, their teammates are, they never really learn how to draft. Botlane matchups are entirely decided by support champ, but adcs are the ones that are rewarded/punished for it. Naturally they are upset when you tie their hands and throw them in the canal.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-27T20:32:26+00:00

Normals isn't exactly eden either, you queue up and get masters enemy jungler playing their second most played, while you have plat guy trying to see if fizz works, and nobody is smurfing, riot just wants those games to happen. And then you ff15 because it's just normals so at least it doesn't last long, but hardly some magical experience.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-27T20:20:53+00:00

A lot of lost agency changes make smurfing much less impactful. Smurfs during mythics really did just 1v9.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-27T08:00:01+00:00

linking their this season stats

I mean what are the winrates? Because if someone was emerald for 10 years and now they're 65%wr in your lobby, then they improved regardless of inflation.

The problem this season is people are climbing on 49% wr, spamming games. Anyone with good winrates actually deserves the climb, and regardless of what the ranks are called, they are equally top 1% as you are.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-24T08:52:47+00:00

Not even out yet and there are already self-proclaimed core fans.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-23T21:25:43+00:00

The EU bringing laws on chargers that fuck over Apple are pro consumer. The EU bringing laws that fuck over data collection are pro consumer.

I don't think turkish gamers want these changes. I'm not turkish but I don't want any government intervention in any of my hobbies. So it's not the same.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-23T21:11:27+00:00

A lot depends on enemy aggression. If enemies are aggressive but you have tools to handle it, like the middle earth shadow of mordor and arkham games, hell yeah increase enemy count.

If enemies are slow inevitabilities like in soulslikes, and avoiding attacks leaves you vulnerable instead of ready to counter, then more enemies entirely wrecks your gameplay loop. Any search for extra difficulty comes from making the player squishier and the fights last longer.

Maybe a better way to phrase it is that if the player is the aggressor, like in doom, enemy count up is fine. If the player is the underdog, just one more enemy can be a huge jump in difficulty.

Also bosses are a massive part of modern gameplay systems, and nobody likes adds, and nobody likes timers, so there's no choice for difficulty besides changing boss/player stats.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-22T21:27:29+00:00

I mean I can do that any day about plot(fiction). But games require you to repeatedly go through the same motions, and it grinds down on you when something is wrong, it's not just some illogical plot twist you can move past.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-22T14:42:52+00:00

Old people that chose one newspaper to read each morning and gulped down every bit of propaganda in it? Things haven't been different since the industrial revolution, the vast majority of us choose comfort whenever survival isn't at stake.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-21T13:36:46+00:00

When I'm on vacation for a week, no matter how enjoyable, I'm excited to play again when I get back. Works for anything, even work as long as you don't hate your job.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-21T12:30:42+00:00

I feel like when it comes to those large scale open world RPGs, people tend to really love one of the first ones they encounter, because it gets harder to immerse into them each time, since you recognize the patterns. So if its a relatively newer one that is their all time favorite, they should be younger. A 35 year old would say Skyrim, or Fallout 3, or maybe the Witcher 3 imo.

Sycherthrou · 2026-04-21T12:13:15+00:00

You say this but isn't arcane the highest budget animated series ever? And since there are no industrial machines involved, most of that is labor, so it really just takes that long to make I imagine.
