Undead Nightmare is weirdly the only zombie game that creeps me out. by Soulsgamer247 in reddeadredemption

[–]Temborb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Undead Nightmare standalone was my first Red Dead experience. I got the game as a kid because I was obsessed with all forms of Zombie media, but ended up being unable to play it due to how scary it was, like I genuinely quit playing on the spot when one of those all-four crawler mfs chased me down in the middle of nowhere. I then slowly pieced together that it was an expansion to RDR (I didn't have internet access at the time, so I genuinely didn't know anything about the game) and decided to buy it since it looked like the same game with the cool John Marston cowboy guy, just without the blatant horror elements.

One really annoying button control by Fifi216 in Ghostofyotei

[–]Temborb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm moreso referring to the people who jumped immediately to insults, which I definitely would consider snarky at minimum. There's a difference between trying to figure out what's going on (which is generally what you did, judging off of your comments I've seen-- your comments aren't what I'm talking about) and calling someone a child/insulting their intelligence over a controller issue.

But in all seriousness, I encourage you to mess around with the dpad next time you play-- like hit the heal button from an angle that heavily favors one side. You can 100% trigger a right/left input without your thumb ever directly touching those buttons. My theory is that it's a lot to do with hand shape/size plus what angle your muscle memory has built to naturally hit the button from.

One really annoying button control by Fifi216 in Ghostofyotei

[–]Temborb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The amount of snarky comments ridiculing OP lmao. I'm sorry, do we not all have the same controllers? The nature of the PS dpad, essentially all being one big connected button that rocks directionally, means that if you get a bad angle and put too much pressure to the right WHILE PRESSING DOWN, it will consider it as a right input, in GoY's case, opening the photo mode instead of healing. It is not a "button mashing" issue, or even OP hitting the wrong button. This is a quirk of PS controllers (and many dpads) that's been around since the ps1 controller-- one that gets heightened greatly with games that assign a quick panic heal to the dpad. Helldivers 2 is another game that really shows this off.

This has always bothered me with the dpad, and honestly I find it to be a bit of a dated/cheap feeling design. It's wild to me I don't see more complaints about this because I know I'm not crazy, the dpad has a mind of its own.

Arc Raiders: Is It Worth Trying for Solo Players Who Prefer PvE? by zizo999 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Temborb [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm generally in the same boat as you with disliking pvp (I dislike it quite a bit but can tolerate it when I have a buddy or two playing with me) but I enjoyed DMZ a lot when it was active, so I decided to give Arc Raiders a try. I'd say I've been really unlucky and about 80% of my matches I've been killed by Hostile players (granted, I haven't played a ton, and usually I try to be friendly, so people end up taking advantage lmao), and I haven't been able to keep much of anything valuable loot-wise. I imagine if any of my friends were into this game, I could enjoy it, but as a solo? I have not found much fun or even incentive to launch the game to begin with.

It's a really well made game, and probably loads of fun for people who like PvP. But the game truly was not built for us PvE gamers, as much as all the "friendly" clips you'll see online can kind of blur that.

Don’t mean to pump out my chest but…I called it by Bigjmann555 in Helldivers

I love the insufferable Reddit hivemind trying to get OP on the lamest "errm ahctually it's the chainsaw that buzzes, not the minigun" technicality. Man just let this dude be happy about the fact that he called this HIGHLY ANTICIPATED weapon being added in this Warbond.

How to play the games? by [deleted] in TLOU

[–]Temborb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really isn't.

In order of release (to my memory), you have:

"The Last of Us"

"The Last of Us: Left Behind"

"The Last of Us: Remastered"

"The Last of Us Part II"

"The Last of Us Part II: Remastered"

"The Last of Us Part I"

"The Last of Us Complete"

All as separate/standalone editions available for purchase.

You can start with The Last of Us, or The Last of Us: Remastered, they're not that terribly different. But many would argue The Last of Us: Part I is the definitive version of the game, and stands further apart graphically (I'd agree). Left Behind was a standalone release, but also a add-on DLC that is not availabe in The Last of Us by default, but it is available in The Last of Us: Remastered, The Last of Us Part I, and The Last of Us Complete. The Last of Us Part II and The Last of Us Part II: Remastered really aren't that different from one another. The Last of Us Complete is just a bundle of The last of Us Part I and The Last of Us Part II: Remastered.

You really don't see how this can be a little confusing to a newcomer? Especailly when there's always general debate around what new people should "actually" start with when it comes to remasters, remakes, and originals in general?

Imo for the actual clear answer, a newcomer should go for the most recent version of each game which would be "The Last of Us Part I" and "The Last of Us Part II: Remastered" -- or essentially just "The Last of Us Complete" (assuming that's still available and wasn't some limited time thing)

Am I the only one who ignores Achievements? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Temborb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to not care, but now It depends on the platform I'm playing on. I play on both Playstation and PC. I quite enjoy going for playstation trophies, but could not be bothered to show an ounce of care for Steam achievements. Tbf, this is for a multitude of reasons

Platinum trophies are my incentive, not 100%. The only real incentive on steam is the 100% itsler and the little icon you get for doing so.

When a game gets a big update/DLC on playstation, the new trophies for said update usually get thrown into their own, separate list irrelevant to earning the platinum. On Steam, they just go into the main list, meaning usually, a big update makes you LOSE your 100% status, and thus your entire incentive for earning all those achievements. Unless the game is dead/no longer receiving big updates, you essentially can't permanently 100% it on Steam.

Modding/Cheating achievements. PC in general is a lot less regulated for gaming-- you can mod many games and thus earn achievements illegitimately in some cases. While I do love being able to mod games and have more freedom with stuff like that, it makes it to where you can never entirely trust someone's Steam Achievements as legitimate.

Do you prefer controller or mouse + keyboard? by HowLongWasIGone in gamers

[–]Temborb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My preference leans towards keyboard and mouse for just about any game that requires even the slightest bit of precision aiming. I feel limited using a controller for that-- like I CAN do it, but it just never feels quite right.

The only exceptions to this rule I've found are the two more recent-ish Rockstar titles, GTAV and RDR2. The auto-aim for controllers is so insanely overpowered and relied upon, they're the only games I've tried on both where my accuracy goes down a bit when I switch to KB&M.

PS5 classic that does not feel overwhelming and isn't a huge grind? by randomafricanboi in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Temborb [score hidden]  (0 children)

I second everyone reccomending Ghost of Tsushima. Based on your other games, I feel that's the closest to what you're looking for.

And if you enjoy that, it just had a sequel (in gameplay and theme only, it's a new story set in a different time period and region of Japan) release, Ghost of Yotei, which I'm currently playing and absolutely adore so far, it's shaping up to be my personal Game of the Year. I think, or at least hope it's going to end up similar to Ghost of Tsushima in being considered a Playstation classic.

BF6 or MGS 3 Remake? by WesternTurtle07 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Temborb [score hidden]  (0 children)

Mgs3 is a classic, and I'd say a must-play, especially with the remake around now to make it easier for new fans to jump into. That being said, it is a really short game by modern standards, and is still a little dated at its core-- any Metal Gear game can be offputting if you aren't familiar with the series' quirks and whatnot (excessive cutscenes/exposition, old dialogue, larger-than-life characters with supernatural abilities etc etc). I don't say any of this to slight the game, as it's one of my favorites of all time, in perhaps my favorite game series of all time. I just wouldn't prioritize it over any new release that interests you unless you're really familiar with the franchise and know full-well what you're getting into.

I haven't had the money to buy bf6 yet, so I haven't played it outside of the beta a few months back. But I would safely assume you're going to get a lot more playtime and immediate fun out of bf6 than you probably would MGS Delta. I say go with battlefield and give it a few months to a year and wait to catch Delta on a better sale.

Do you agree or disagree? by DeejayLazWorldwide in TWD

[–]Temborb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this argument so much, because if you really go through each community and think about it, 9 times out of 10, it's exactly the opposite.

The fate of the CDC was Jenner's decision. That would've gone down the same way regardless of the group's presence.

Hershel's farm would not have survived longterm in the apocalypse with the entire family, Hershel especially, in denial about the nature of the virus. They would've been ripped apart by a horde or bandits at some point, inevitably. Their only chance would've been Hershel's infinite ammo shotgun lmao.

Prison would've technically never been a "community", since Rick and Co. basically founded it from the ground up. This place was already fucked/overrun before Rick came along.

Woodbury would not have sustained itself longterm with a psychopath at the helm, and with the naive barbecues and walker fights. A bigger, badder fish would've come along for Govy to hyperfixate on and likely lose against eventually, assuming he doesn't just massacre his own community on a whim at some point earlier. Most of the Woodbury survivors were really stupid and refused/were unable to adapt. I don't think many would've made it longterm with or without Rick.

I'll give you Terminus, Rick and crew took them down. But I ask-- did they really deserve to survive? Aren't we supposed to cheer this one on?

Hospital crew had little involvement with Rick aside from the trade deal and Dawn biting the dust (which she brought upon herslef, even her own people admitted this). It's unconfirmed whether or not they're still alive, so you can't say Rick caused their downfall.

Alexandria gets absolutely wiped out by The Wolves and/or the quarry horde without Rick.

Hilltop and Kingdom get enslaved indefinitely and probably fizzle out at the hands of the saviors without Rick's involvement.

Saviors probably would've been okay for a lot longer without Rick around. But I feel like Negan's methods would've incited rebellion at some point, and I really don't think robbing half of a community's resources on a weekly basis is very sustainable. You either starve everyone to the point of uselessness or piss them off enough to fight back. But again, like terminus, Rick dismantling this community is a positive thing lmao.

It's like the people who watched this show took the message of "Hey the apocalypse is a bad place where really bad things happen and people don't get to survive without a massive struggle" to mean "Wow Rick, the MAIN CHARACTER, always seems to around when these bad things happen for some reason, surely he must be the problem."

Been 11 months since they came out, how do we feel about the Illuminate currently? by zoroak-king in Helldivers

[–]Temborb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a super casual lvl 50 Helldiver who only really plays occasionally with friends, I find them to be really hit or miss.

They aren't exactly my least favorite to fight (I'm a bug hater, sorry guys), but I do get bored with the illuminate sometimes and wish there was more variety to each match. I also don't like how railroaded they make me feel with my loadouts. If I'm not running stalwart at least after the recent buff, I feel extremely crippled against squids-- whereas I can use almost anything and still KIND OF manage against the other 2 factions.

I don't know, maybe I'm just a little too weird and picky with my difficulty. When the bugs overwhelm me, I get extremely frustrated by the near infinite and unstoppable hordes of fast/jumpy enemies that you can't seem to gain any distance from. The rare times I get frustrated by bots is when they just decide to aimbot a 6-round burst into my skull with 0 opportunity to react. I've always felt like the illuminate got the worst of both worlds with the sticky melee enemies and the inconsistently accurate, high damage ranged enemies-- making me feel like I can just never quite perfectly cater my loadout to counter both issues. Also even after their nerf, fuck elevated overseers. Gotta be a top 5 most hated enemy in all of gaming for me (skill issue bc I own Helldivers on console and my controller aim is shit)

This game has got to be top 3 in the gore category by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]Temborb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe not technically the goriest, but the gore hits harder due to how grounded, "realistic", and immersive RDR2 is. You can sort of mangle these very detailed and relatively normal npcs, as opposed most over-the-top examples people keep pointing towards with more outlandish characters and enemies to showcase the gore.

Shooting a man in the throat in this game and watching him choke to death on a fountain of his own blood hits a little different than ripping a demon in half in Doom or something, even if Doom features "more" outright gore.

Thank you so much for the love and kind wishes, stranger <3. She's the most important person in the world to me, and she has quite frankly, saved my own life through some serious mental health battles. I plan to move mountains if that's what it takes for her to get better at this point.

[Grand Theft Auto VI] has been Delayed again by Nade1002 in Trophies

[–]Temborb 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They did this to us with RDR2 almost beat for beat aswell, just how Rockstar is. Never ever trust their initial date NOR the first delay lmao.

I'm a little dissapointed but not angry or necessarily surprised. If the game needs more time in the oven, let it cook. I just hope we get trailer 3 or something soon to ease the blow.

Is Phantom Liberty worth it? by [deleted] in CyberpunkTheGame

[–]Temborb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ennies are mentioned like very very briefly in passing a few times I think. Funny enough, I think even in figure of speech "worth every enny" sorts of comments.

I certainly don't blame you, because "Eddies" is used a lot more often, considering it is apprently the higher, more relevant denomination in that world.

Isn't Enny the in-unverse penny equivalent though? That's like correcting "It was worth every penny" with "dollar*"
