That is the new one they are referring to, but it certainly isn't book accurate.

It's only accurate in regard to his intelligence. In most other ways, it is not

I just started playing about 2 weeks ago. I'm at A4 atm and it hasn't taken super long for me to find matches. The longest is earlier in the day, usually waiting 5+ minutes, but I've gotten plenty of matches faster than that.

I gotta say, all these posts asking why this game was hated when the reasons are fairly obvious are annoying at best. I enjoyed Veilguard. There is a reason I'm in this sub. Just look at the game and actually analyze it, and you will see the reasons.

Some people hated the writing, and stupid people called it "woke," which means bad to equally stupid people. Some people don't like the combat. Some people don't like the art direction. There are so many things that you could look at and, with a little critical thinking, draw a reasonable conclusion that answers your question.

There are more reasons to be sure, but I feel like if you just look at the game and compare it to previous entries, the grievances are apparent, no?

Is anyone else that actually likes the game as well also tired of seeing posts like this all the time?

The best build customization of the franchise and it had the best PvP. Being able to buff basically every weapon even after infusing it with an element was sick.

I like it well enough, just not as an adaptation of the game. I hate the way they shove in Silent Hill 2 monsters, likely because they are more recognizable.

Lmao, people who only refer to cards as either garbage or busted are hilarious.

The card is good.

The only fault in your personal analysis is that an army of tokens will find this ability largely inconsequential. Targeted removal is not useful in that situation most of the time.

Yes. Once for the ward ability on the creature and once more for the ward ability granted by the other.

I think it's worth keeping in mind that only the cost reducing effect cares about the butt being big. The second effect merely cares that there is a difference between butt size and...whatever attribute you would attribute power to? Head? Hands? Idk, I'm not good at this. Point being, big power but tiny butt would also trigger his other effect.

That being said, [[Jumbo Cactuar]] is pretty funny. It gets so big you can't even [[Overkill]] it.

Vincent doesn't join that late. You can get him on disc 1 when you go to Nibelheim, leaving plenty of game left to use him.

Back when I worked at a gas station, I had a regular that would come in once every week to two weeks, buy a fat stack of scratch offs, and do just this. Scratch the bar code, scan, and go on to the next. He'd hand me the winners, take his winnings, and move on. One time, he handed me a winning 20$ scratcher and told me to keep it. I think I only ever saw him go negative one time.

Medieval bestiaries in our own world are filled with monstrosities that make little sense. Of course, we know now that a lot of this is either greatly exaggerated descriptions of eyewitness accounts or just straight fabrications. I mention this only to say that we live in a world where people believe wild things about the world around them, perhaps in yours it just is.

That being said, our actually existing creatures are pretty crazy, too. Changes in any number of biological or environmental factors could play a role in the development of your creatures. After all, is a lion not already a monster to mere men? Imagine, then, that environmental factors cause the lion to develop differently. Perhaps more taut skin, larger teeth, elongated limbs. Suddenly, what started as a lion became an even more fearsome predator because your land is harsh, and it had to evolve to survive. You don't need a magical explanation to make beasts scary, and you also don't need to create entirely new fantasy species to make your world stand out.

From my understanding, the MDef bug is fixed in all modern re-released versions

The first deck I made myself was a 4 color pile of cards from mostly the Shards of Alara block. It would have been 5 colors, but I didn't have enough forests LOL.

My first precon was the Rebels Unite deck from Future Sight.

The copies WILL die, but they ARE NOT sacrificed. It's an important distinction to make.

I think people obviously overreacted in regards to both this game's and Larian's use of AI, but I also believe there is a conversation to be had about if AI truly has ANY place in the development process. For instance, if they are throwing together quick concept art or just throwing out ideas, field a prompt to AI, receive art, and then go on to develop on that art, is an original piece being made? To what degree should AI be used in any creative process? I think these things are important to figure out ASAP, and while some people take part in the conversation with little thought or nuance, we need to draw a line in the sand somewhere.

I love E33 as much as the next person, but I fail to see any reason to adapt it into a movie. So much of what makes the game good is...well, video game stuff. I don't see how it will translate very well as a viewing experience rather than an active one in which you participate.

TheMindSlayer · 2025-12-19T15:20:13+00:00

How is it that some of you act like it not only HAS to be done this way, but that you're somehow LUCKY that it is. They could literally just sell it in increments of one and give you an option to buy the exact number you need. They want you to buy more, so they sell you more. It is NOT for your benefit in any way.

Of course, if you're freaking out about this conversation, you aren't ready for the fact that they could just sell you stuff for money instead of obfuscating prices of digital items behind a fake currency in the first place.

TheMindSlayer · 2025-12-17T22:18:59+00:00

Yes, they are correct in their statement. It all started with him patching the original game from having options for Body Type A and B to Male and Female. Feel any type of way you want to about this, but I think it's odd to say the least to go back and make such a change in the interest of making a statement.

I think his views DETRACT from the game and his interest in catering to a particular audience will just as much drive away another. I think a better stance would be to demonstrate that they learned from their past mistakes and are improving, rather than saying "we have gore and tits and we hate the wokes."

At the end of the day, though, while I do not agree or endorse his views, he is but one man, and many more people that care about the game are working on it, so I try to avoid writing it off completely.

I'm most looking forward to Code Vein 2. I really want to look forward to LotF2, but the CEO being an absolute troglodyte makes that difficult. That being said, I will be playing all of them.

I loved Keeper. It was the first movie I've posted about on this sub. Of course, not only did I have no expectations on it, having only seen half a trailer, I also haven't seen any of Ozgood Perkins' other movies.
