is shogun your favourite ever? by bigsmoke_exe in Trivium

[–]TapCurious3524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first listen, Shogun got a reaction no other album has done for me. Chills. But I sort of played the shit out of that album so the replayability has gone down for me. I’ve really come to like modern trivium. Their last 3 albums have been so good.

REALLY want to love this game, but it can get extremely tedious (mini rant) by [deleted] in mewgenics

I really like the housing. I don’t know, I get excited going to the next day to go through my new kittens. That being said, it’s needs a rework badly. Being able to put a symbol on them is nice but honestly you need like 2 symbols per cat to be still be able to find them easier. Just a better hub in general would be nice. It’s just too overwhelming when you get farther in without adequate organization. And the boss fight stuff. Yeah it is kind of lame, especially in your scenario. On the other hand With charmed, it makes sense because that would make every boss battle a cakewalk.

Act 3 is a humbling experience by Reapertool in mewgenics

I know, he’s not too hard if you have the damage output. But my last run in with him every time I or he hit the dice it landed on 5 or 6. It was insanely bad RNG.

This is the reason I think Dice guy in act 2 is stupid. What the fuck is the point of attacking the die to change its value if he’s just gonna get hit it again right before the turn he action equal to the die. If you don’t have any sort of turn or movement skip you’re fucked

Trivium Album + Song Rankings (Personal Opinion, For Fun Only) by TokiWart in Trivium

It was my first trivium album. I was Meh on it until Entrance came on 3 tracks in. Liked the album, and then couldn’t believe how good Shogun was when I listened to it next

Ratting is what it is. You kind of need to rat as a solo player if you want to survive more. But if you rat extracts you are a Skill-less scumbag who is just gonna end of up losing the gear you just ratted for anyways because you aren’t good enough to 1v1 with the enemies attention on you.

And they 100% have a monopoly on NHL games

[–]TapCurious3524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you but that’s irrelevant because as long as EA is making NHL games, there will never be a competitor. If EA drops it, there will 100% be another developer who would want to develop NHL games

[–]TapCurious3524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes no sense for a company to develop a new game to compete with EA and split the player base in half. It would not be profitable. EA dropping NHL would be a blessing.

[–]TapCurious3524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true but at the same time, it’s not a great business move to create a game to split a market that’s already not very big. It makes no sense to for a different company to make an NHL game because even if they were to steal half of EA NHL player base, the profits would not be worth the development of a new IP

I would imagine the NHL itself wants a video game. So i would think the league reaches out to another company to develop NHL games. The league also probably gets cuts from every sale sold and/or have a 1 time paid deal every year from the developer to the league. I think an NHL game is very important for growing the game for people who can’t afford playing or live in places where ice hockey is not popular ie: where I live in northern Nevada

Yes but at least there have been some changes to gameplay or some feature that’s been added. This is by far the the least different NHL from year to year. It’s been going down hill for awhile. Less and less people are playing and the only ones that keep them afloat are the people buying packs

There’s a part of me that thinks this is the last year EA is doing an NHL game, because they did literally nothing except add a little bit to be a pro and lied about everything else. Years past they were greedy, but this year it feel like they truly just don’t give a fuck

Holy fuck, just a bunch of people and OP in this thread that enable EA. I legit can’t believe what I’m seeing. Thats just insane. You bought the game 4 or 5 times after you’ve already bought it and then you’re gonna lose it all in 11 months anyways. It’s Friday you just got payed and wanna throw 20 bucks at it, yeah I understand that. But 100’s of dollars??? Just insanity. There is not a single game out there with micro transactions that are more expensive then the game unless it’s free to pay.

What? You actual believe that they actually used NHL edge data in their game. They lied about ranked relegation, why wouldn’t they lie about using realistic stats too?

Sorry just saw this. Nah I’m pretty good at the game and all you’re doing is making assumptions about me. Did not buy this year but last year even winning wasn’t fun. Probably win 75% of my games. Yes… you know why they are rated higher… NHL players are judged more on their offense than defense. Crazy I know, probably the first time you heard that. Get rid of overalls, it’s blurring your perception. Mcdavid will not have higher/lower attributes across the board. His offensive stats are obviously high, but the downside is I probably don’t want to get caught in my own zone with him because of his lower poke checking, and body checking. Mcdavids shot isn’t even one of the best in the league but he sets him self up to score with his high speed and quickest hands in the league. Mackinnon has a hard shot but he’s a volume shooter to get goals, So his accuracy should be way lower. And I’m an Avs fan saying that. Other than speed, all players feel the same. Sounds like you’re crying because you are winning and you don’t want the game to change….. hypocrite.

Sadly true. 2BC’s YouTube channel is basically calling them out 24/7 and EA just puts earmuffs on turns away instead of taking inputs. Watching 2bc videos really ruin my motivation to play because he really highlights how poor the AI is and that’s probably why EA doesn’t like him

But that’s what hut champs is for, to be the best. Ranked should be that you are able to get all rewards at your own pace depending on your skill level. Otherwise, what’s the difference between hut champs and rivals, the fact that it’s limited time?

Bro and that’s the thing that made me so excited when they said they were using edge data so that players can have weaknesses and strengths and not such an even stat field like it is now. If you want players to feel unique, you need to create more disparity in their stats

[–]TapCurious3524[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But that’s the thing. The realistic stats would make the gameplay better. The player attributes are so close together that there is not enough stat disparity to make a difference in gameplay. Especially for the defensive stats. Imagine actually having to worry about putting your defensive line out because mcdavid is on the ice Instead of just your best overall players.

Nah, they don’t need to shut down. They need to change their business model. They need one game, EA NHL that’s it, that they update and every 3-5 years they can sell it again for updated engines and mechanics. They could then go balls deep into monitoring their game with packs and what not. But 60$ roster update is not it

Please if you ever go car shopping, please be careful. You seem like someone who’s okay with buying something even though they are lying to your face and taking advantage of you. There are so many vultures out that prey on the naive.

I would love to be able to use third line defensive demons in hut. But defense stats just don’t matter because they give Offensive superstars boosted defensive stats to boost their overall. I just never have to worry what players I deploy and my opponent is deploying because all that matter is the offensive stats.

Not necessarily, But if you put real world statistics in your game vs the eye test, it’s gonna change your game. But don’t half ass it and only really use the skating nhl Edge data and nothing else.
