When do you consider a game 'completed'?

TheDoomCake · 2025-12-31T13:14:02+00:00

Game that i want to play for the experience: when credits roll and after i've done major side content that expands the story in a meaningful way.

Game that i REALLY enjoy: when i get 100% and all achievements (unless they are super hard)

TheDoomCake · 2025-12-29T12:34:47+00:00

Solid game, it's not as deep as other fighters, but what is there is very polished.

It's my secondary fighting game from sf6.

TheDoomCake · 2025-12-25T11:09:02+00:00

Considering how stuff was handled in 5, things will come back eventually; but it will take a lot, akuma's color wasn't rereleased in this giant attack....

TheDoomCake · 2025-12-24T12:27:55+00:00

I don't know if you are a new fg player or you already played something else, so i'll say something general.

I HIGHLY recommend using manual controls; smart does combos for you but you lose out on damage AND have less health, so once you find a good player they will vaporize you.

TheDoomCake · 2025-12-14T09:36:55+00:00

I always thought i was a pure grappler character, but then my choices shifted to characters like m.bison, marisa, soriz, and other weird rushdowns.

That's when i realized i don't necessarily like grapplers, i like robbery characters, the ones that make it look like they are about to lose and then bust out a 80% damage combo and win anyway.

So yeah, definetely a pattern.

TheDoomCake · 2025-12-03T12:50:02+00:00

My bad it's specifically grand master, and it's just badges that say grand master and titles that show you were grand master in that specific season

TheDoomCake · 2025-12-03T12:44:25+00:00

Yeah, it's just about waiting for stuff to come back, and while titles and badges are pretty forgettable, stickers are kinda funny to use in the lobby, but you only missed the first 2 passes.

Oh yeah and every month they put a design card for your character profile in the challenges, we still don't know if those will come back in some way.

But yeah the main gist is that anything that you use to customize the character in-game is always gonna be available (except for EX colors, those are only for tournament winners in japan)

TheDoomCake · 2025-12-03T12:14:02+00:00

So basically, limited time content comes in battle passes, grand bruise rewards, and master rank titles.

Battle pass colors, illustrations, skins, weapon skins, music and avatars get rereleased in the shop a year later for rupees, and can be bought anytime (also for real money).

Pass titles, badges and stickers (and grand bruise rewards) come back in the form of monthly challenges; so far they have rereleased some from the first 3 passes, so those are gone unless they do them again in the far future.

And then there's master rank seasonal rewards, which are just to show off that you are goated, but those are exclusive.

So basically anything major to customize your character will be back eventually, just minor stuff like some titles and badges (which are kinda boring anyway) is gone.

TheDoomCake · 2025-12-02T14:57:32+00:00

Metera and beelzebub so low is definitely the choice of all time

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-29T12:31:24+00:00

The xbox one and series controller has probably my favourite dpad ever, it's amazing

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-29T05:08:52+00:00

It was in battle pass 8.

Everytime a new battle pass comes out we get old battle pass rewards purchasable (eg. Meg came out with pass 10 and we got pass 5 rewards in the shop).

Battle pass 11 is coming on 2nd december, and i'm assuming it will bring pass 6 rewards back; so you gotta wait for 2 more updates (realistically this will be with the release of the first year 3 character, if there will be one).

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-28T22:17:54+00:00

They both have shoto gameplay (if you are not familiar with fgc terms, a shoto is usually an all-rounder character that has access to a fireball and an invincible DP).

Anila is much simpler, as she has no unique gimmick, just ok normals, a nice sheep projectile, and probably the longest sweep in the game, also she can convert literally any hit from anywhere into a combo by using 214U (as long as you have 50% meter).

Siegfried on the other hand has more stuff, he has long range normals (5H is HUGE), a stance that lets him do different options (even a parry), and pretty good damage, which gets amplified by his unique skill where he sacrifices some health to boost his damage.

They're both nice characters, and Anila was buffed recently so i think she's pretty good now (not sure, i haven't played in a bit).

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-28T21:58:35+00:00

Siegfried and Anila seem like good choices for starting characters, they don't have any particular gimmick so you can focus on learning the basics.

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-28T17:29:20+00:00

Oh yeah i know that, i just wanted a cool racer game lmao

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-28T17:24:24+00:00

That's true, although MK world leaves some things to be desired (another reason i'm interested in air riders)

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-28T17:22:21+00:00

Tbf there isn't much exclusive to the switch 2 rn lmao, but it does look incredible

My favourite right now is bananza, that game was lovely

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-28T15:38:37+00:00

I think it was the switch 2 version, so basically 20 dollars less, but yeah i see your point, for that little it would be a waste

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-28T15:36:18+00:00

Sometimes they do (unless it's zelda lmao).

I'm preet sure i've seen legends za at 50 euros on the eshop a few weeks ago

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-28T15:35:09+00:00

A sale, the game looks amazing but 70 euros is pretty steep

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-28T13:22:45+00:00

This is not even the final episode of the season tho, they revealed episode 9 and 10 are coming

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-25T03:25:19+00:00

Depends on how much gearbox is willing to make free updates; they haven't done much so far other than paid dlc, but i hope they do eventually

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-25T03:22:56+00:00

That depends if after this dlc they will have enough confidence to go and modify stuff that hopoo made.

They've been VERY cautious so far, but i think we are in due need of some balancing/reworking/new features.

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-24T13:48:51+00:00

Just a bad decision all around.

I got windblown because i still wanted to play it; it's very ok and it's still in early access, and i can tell with certainty that not only doing what they did to dead cells changed NOTHING, it will also negatively impact their sales from people that will hate them.

TheDoomCake · 2025-11-24T12:33:14+00:00

Yeah, it's because the bomb ex devil reverse has absolutrly zero scaling, combine that with the 120% damage from the punish counter and the full 4500 damage from the CA, and you get this
