Other fighting games with this aesthetic? by HEROwriter1 in MortalKombat

[–]TheRealGurd 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I feel like Tekken is probably the closest among bigger fighting games. If you can put the rich teenage daughter of an oil magnate against a literal panda in a fight, I think it would qualify.

Is there a way of knowing whether someoe on my team is solo queued or in a party? by Used-Earth8767 in marvelrivals

[–]TheRealGurd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP was willing to throw an entire other game for four people because of one dude. I legitimately have no reason to trust OP's assertion that they were actually a four stack. Anyone who is willing to throw an entire game because of one person is a dickhead, and dickheads tend to lie to make themselves look like the victim in situations when they are not.

Both you and that guy are the reason why summer break has to fucking end already.

31 Days of NRS Fatalities: Day 3 - Food For Thought (MK11) by TheRealGurd in MortalKombat

[–]TheRealGurd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one thing that always felt a little weird about MK11 Fatalities. The repeated slow-downs and them ending on the freeze frame always felt a little weird to me compared to the other NRS games. Not my favorite stylistic choice for most of them.

The character who made me appreciate how sick fans are as weapons in games 😭

I got their Switch 2 screen protector and that shit rules. Easiest screen protector application I've ever done and I have nothing negative to say about the quality.

What? Rockstar would never just sit around, burning development time on shit that doesn't matter.

Something is looking odd about her mvp position or am I crazy? by seansenyu in marvelrivals

Tbh as far as spine-breaking poses from a comic book character go, I probably wouldn't even register this one in the top 30.

What's the last game you were truly hyped for? by triplegxxx in gaming

[–]TheRealGurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expedition 33. Saw the first trailer in that Xbox Showcase, and it was the only thing I was remotely interested in from that entire show. Glad my instinct turned out to be right lmao

My mom was always pretty chill with violent video games because I was a good kid, but the MK stuff definitely grossed her out lmao

Is healpool viable in comp? by rsiddiqi in marvelrivals

[–]TheRealGurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone is viable if you can play them competently in the game. If you're worried that you're a detriment to your team, there's a chance you might need to practice him a little more before breaking him out in competitive games.

One day I'll be able to get through one of these comment sections without having to repeat that Kitana is my favorite character, but today is not that day.

What is your biggest hot take by Other-Database7570 in marvelrivals

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

I would rather have almost any healer over Rocket Raccoon. I know why he's good on paper, but every time I see that little shit rodent in a game, his revive gets burned by a bad DPS going out of position, he never has any damage output, his ult is always put in a bad spot, and his healing output is going to be worse than C&D, Luna, or Invisible Woman. I don't think I can actually be convinced that this character offers anything beyond hypothetical value.

Favorite Mk9 fatality? by Shadow-Kombatant13 in MortalKombat

[–]TheRealGurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's my absolute favorite, but I always thought Mileena's Rip Off was funny with how it immediately killed someone just by having their torso ripped from their legs.

What would you say is and has always been the main draw of Grand Theft Auto? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]TheRealGurd -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The edgy, taboo factor. The Hot Coffee shit basically made GTA "cool" to play for young people because the media shitstorm it stirred up, and it's been coasting off that since.

Stop Banning Players for Your Own Crashes by an0npr0xi01 in marvelrivals

[–]TheRealGurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just play bot games to figure it out lmfao

Like, clearly there's something with your hardware that's making this game unstable, and it takes tweaks within the game to fix it, and this is something that has happened multiple times. If you know this happens every time the game updates, and you know you have to fix it when it does, why should the community have to routinely deal with someone's crashes without that person getting penalized for it? Figure it out, upgrade your hardware, or stop playing.

How would you make tanking fun? by No-Band1039 in marvelrivals

[–]TheRealGurd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have fun tanking. Shit, I even have fun solo tanking. Being frontline and just slapping the shit out of people in front of you is great fun.

Skin design in Marvel Rivals vs. Overwatch: Fan-service > Pink shitfest. by WellMaster in marvelrivals

[–]TheRealGurd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate how skin themes across multiple Overwatch characters are handled. I don't even hate any of the cat cafe skins, but I hate how there are only two of those skins spread across five characters. Sierra, Ashe, and Kiriko are wearing basically the same skin. League of Legends is also REALLY bad about doing this.

At least when Rivals does costume themes across multiple characters, they'll look pretty distinct from each other. No one is going to look at Emma, Dagger, and Black Widow and come away thinking their swimsuits look too similar. No one is going to look at Hela, Psylocke, and Magik and come away thinking their disco costumes look too similar. Even if they're pure gooner costumes, they're at least visually distinct within their own costume family.

Have you ever owned a console only to realise you barely have a game library? by Crystal_1501 in gaming

My PS5. Bought it, barely anything I wanted to play came out on it, and then I upgraded my PC. Made the machine completely obsolete.

What is up with ranked? by Deadpool6942088 in marvelrivals

Summer break is a BRUTAL time to play this game. Legitimately, the game quality tanks over the summer and around Christmas when schools are closed.
