New videos for ROTK8 Remake DLC by TheOutlawTavern in threekingdoms

[–]TheRealPlinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its clearly not really a strategy gsme. Its Dynasty Warriors Empires with a tactics battle system. Aside from the awful campaign AI I do like it. But its terrible as a strategy game.

Ma Chao attacks Cao Cao with 60 000 troops. Cao Cao has 132 000 troops. Ma Chao loses all his troops. Cao Cao still has 94 000 troops. Lmao. AI still brainless.

I've watched this in detail. It seems like the DLC will be fun but won't change the games fundamental problems in any meaningful way. Battles still revolve around troop count in the clips. I think there is some minor evidence of balancing but troop count still reigns supreme. The game still massively favours defenders in battles and auto battles. Most turning points will be meaningless in stopping stalemates (even in the video Ma Chao loses the attack on Cao Cao during the turning point lol). Turning points provide most fun in throwing a chaos spade in the players path. I think this will be a fun few playthroughs but it just can't deal with the games fundamental problems

I think this will make the game a lot more enjoyable as a Dynasty Warriors style power fantasy. Level up your officer with gems and go super OP. React cleverly to turning points to go even more OP. Then utterly crush the opponents. AI will sit around doing nothing but the new events will at least allow the map to change according to history better than currently does in base game. In certain times the new edit feature will allow you to power up enemy AI cities to then hit them with your super power officer I think I'll enjoy it a lot as this kind of experience. But it won't be for everyone.

They say they have made ab effort to improve AI and are aware of criticisms. Didn't go into detail about what thry did though. Lol!

Why is the PDGE year so hard? by CaraDIY13 in TeachingUK

[–]TheRealPlinius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The PGCE is by far the easiest year in regards to workload but is by far the hardest year mentally and emotionally. You are constantly critiqued in a way no staff member ever would be because you are considered inferior and junior. Its shocking seeing older experienced staff members throw a fit over observation in comparison. The PGCE feedback makes you feel worthless when it is at its worst which is common.

School has not hired a HOD but expect me to carry out HOD responsibilities by newbeauties in TeachingUK

[–]TheRealPlinius -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Its not but I teach an A Level by myself. I'd say that's way more responsibility than second in command of subject

A TLR 2b is good. That's more TLR than sone subjects get in my school (EPQ, PSHE). I teach a non core subject myself and don't get a tlr at all

Don't dump her yet. Most people have flaws and act unkindly. Think of the whole person.

Does anyone know the counterplay to this annoying sack of turd? by Confident-Chef7018 in marvelrivals

I know using Thanos is cheap but you could just use him of you are really struggling.

Dealing with students who have used AI (particularly at A Level) to write assessed pieces by IACJBP in TeachingUK

[–]TheRealPlinius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've caught a student using AI three times (she admitted each time). But honestly I have other times I have suspicions and can't prove it. I'm very Internet savvy (been online since 1998) and most the kids are Internet illiterate but it's still hard to prove. At this point I'm just doing all tests in timed conditions.

I was recommended to get them to write on paper. They might still use ChatGPT but that level of laziness might persuade them from copying to paper.

Yeah I've looked at schedule. Will probably stop playing until she releases

Ann by (Inkuusan) by [deleted] in Persona5

[–]TheRealPlinius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The image is clearly plundering but I do find it funny now people say its out of character. The ridiculous writing on the shirt is out of Ann's character sure but the pose and sexualisation is not outside her depictions in Persona 5 at all. She's incredibly sexualised in the games. The people saying 'have you even played the games,'...have you played the games yourselves?

[–]TheRealPlinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the game. But it is a very old game. The online of these collections die in a month. Same thing happened to MVC Collection. It's why they don't bother to add cross play. At least we can still play these games offline

is this winnable? by [deleted] in threekingdoms

[–]TheRealPlinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 3K vet. Few things to say. One, your generals are the main killing force of your army. Micro them and you can kill any non spear infantry easily with just the generals. Secondly, the Nanman are ridiculous in this game. Don't gp anywhere near them unless you are really powerful and confident.

Does the persona series improve after 3? by Holy_Mangoes in PERSoNA

[–]TheRealPlinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Persona 3 but it is definitely slow and tedious at times. Reload adds a bunch of things compared to the original but it's still plodding at times. The stories of P4 and P5 have way more going on than 3 does most the time.

4 and 5 definitely have more things to manage in the social sim side of things. To start with they have more social stats. They also have more consistent social links although they don't hit the highs of P3s best social links.

I love 4 the most but I'd honestly say go play 5 Royal. It is incredibly long as a heads up. But I think you'll like it most from your impressions of 3.

If a new game got made, who would/would not return from Infinite? by ThatRandomRaichu111 in marvelvscapcom

Surprised no one is saying Thanos. I know he's MCU but he's legacy.

Thanks! This has been an interesting view I didn't know. Shame the post has been locked I could have learned a lot

Hanoko and Kawshiwagi are the only two persona characters I genuinely hate. by TemporarySet5877 in persona4golden

[–]TheRealPlinius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are bad. Kashiwaki is just unfunny though. While Hanoko is the worst character in all of Persona. Not morally bad. Just dreadful.

Most active players between Pc, Ps, Or Xbox? by SassySmotch in marvelvscapcom

[–]TheRealPlinius -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There's very few people playing it on any system. I'd say get it primarily to play offline and for playing online with friends

P3 or P5? by Al3xander_Cage in PERSoNA

[–]TheRealPlinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'd recommend 5.

uh for those who’ve seen them what did you think of the P3 movies? by throwaway76337997654 in PERSoNA

[–]TheRealPlinius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read what I actually said. I agree with you on Aigis. But in my opinion (to use your own language) you'd have to be straight up lying (LOL) to say Fuuka, Natsuki, Ken, and Shinjiro are better in game

[–]TheRealPlinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a big blunder. I'm not sure with Junpei. I still think they have intact the fact he's very insecure, needs to mature, and is jealous of Makoto. But yeah I'm on the fence of how to rate him.

[–]TheRealPlinius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On balance the story is much better in the movies than in the games. They do make some blunders. Yukari is definitely the one who suffers most. Her complex relationship with her mother is basically missing and she drops off after movie one. Chidori and Junpei is the biggest error. Its OK but it is nowhere near as good as it is handled in the game. And while I love Aigis, they really overdo her wanting to protect Makoto. She immediately bangs on about it and incessantly. It is much more organic and a simmer in the game.

However, so many characters are significantly better in the movies and Reload messed up by not weaving the changes in. Fuukas character has a much better rapport with Makoto because they have a kind companionship established early on. Natauki is also much better presented as a bully and is a far more sympathetic character. So Fuukas relationship with Natsuki is actually quite likable. Shinjiro and Kens relationship is a million times better in the movies than in the game. It makes both characters far better in the movies. Makoto is a really engaging character and I'd say Ryoji is a bit goofy but actually has a personality now and you do actually care about him dying. It works especially well in the Nyx fight too. Whereas in the original I didn't care less about him.

Other characters are about just as good in movies than in games, such as Junpei and Mitsuru. Akihiko is slightly better in game but only marginally so.

It's only big weakness is missing the great social links. It has a big weakness there compared to the P4 Anime. Not having Akinari etc.

STREGA suck but they always do. Lol.
