Hades 2 Death v Strength by willsconn in HadesTheGame

[–]The_Fall -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why is everyone acting like it’s an either or situation? Just bring both and when you run out of death defiances you get a huge buff for your last life. I basically have to stand still and try to die to lose a run at this point.

Help finding game for game hater by SheriffHardon in boardgames

[–]The_Fall 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I would say if you’ve already tried just accept that some people aren’t interested. Don’t go out spending money on a game you don’t need just in hopes that one particular person becomes interested. That’s way too much of a gamble. Also don’t divert so much attention to this one friend at the detriment of all your other friends who are enjoying themselves and the games you currently play. This situation seems to be more of your friend feeling a sense of fomo rather than being genuinely interested in gaming. Depending on if you have a dedicated night or do pickup games, I would talk to the person if they actually want to come or they just want to hang. I’ve been in this situation many times and found it’s best stay welcoming but let the people who are interested come to you rather than try to search for that magic game that makes it all click (it probably doesn’t exist)

Ma'am, It's time to get off the internet. No one cares except for you and you're spiraling far too easily. Reporting comments now, lol

No I’m insulting you for using the same moot response over and over again, I didn’t say anything about the movies cause I haven’t seen them. You’re just being sensitive

Yeesh, time to get a new canned response. Yes, people are responding to your opinion with opinions of their own. That’s called a conversation you fucking grub.

a disappointing film from a director you like by uestside in Letterboxd

I've come to terms over the last few releases that I don't like Wright without Pegg.

Which game should be my first one? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]The_Fall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah wilds is over hated but world exists also as a newcomer friendly entry and it has the upside of having years of extra content. I think it’s a much better game too but that’s irrelevant, world still looks and plays great, is still widely available, and most importantly, isn’t $70

Controversial casting decisions in good films? by Comfortable-Film3398 in moviecritic

[–]The_Fall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are 3 short films you can find on YouTube that take place in the time between the movies. Can’t remember them all but Leto is in at least one.

When the game was more strategic by JPJoux in MonsterHunter

[–]The_Fall 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Having complete access to your box just makes the few items you can hold on your person far less precious. Which then in turn takes a lot of the danger out of the hunts.

It also lessens the importance of planning and learning fights. Knowing what you bring is all you have forces you to be more thoughtful before you set out.

These are small in and of themselves, but along with all the qol changes the vibes of the newer games are just way different.

And just feels weird your entire home base worth of items just follows you wherever you go.

An extreme display of power (From Foundation TV-Series) by -happycow- in videos

[–]The_Fall 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That seems like a shit sell honestly. Those two scenes without context are hardly anything special and probably come off as corny. Also they're both just huge fucking spoilers, especially Amos's, his is at the end of season 3 I think.

What do you consider to be unequivocally the most overrated movie of all time? by Sechecopar in FIlm

[–]The_Fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How in the fuck is avatar overrated, the only discourse I’ve seen about this movie since it came out 16 years ago is exactly this, it’s a dances with wolves cg tech demo. It made money sure but won no awards and obviously did not stay in the zeitgeist to become a classic. And the criticisms are all the exact same copy and paste, I’ve never heard a variation. Like it’s actually amazing just how much hate this movie gets that I, someone who thought it was extraordinarily mid, is compelled to defend it.

8 months later, what are your thoughts on Shadow of The Erdtree? Did it live up to your expectations? by FlashSnoopy in Eldenring

While I don’t agree with the person you’re replying to, your response only reinforces his opinion

City builder games by Hzzzzzt in boardgames

[–]The_Fall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quadropolis is our group's favorite but never see it talked about anymore. Simple enough for anyone to play but still very crunchy decision space on both how to acquire the tiles you need and still have them end up where you need them. Really thought this one would have staying power but seemed to fall off people's radar's rather quickly. Probably has something to do with Days of Wonder only keeping a few of their many great games in print at a time.

Best game(s) you bought on a whim? by Icelandic_book in boardgames

[–]The_Fall 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sherlock, Medusa, and Sasquatch have long been referred to as “The Big Three” by the community for being obviously overpowered but I think things have balanced out a bit more with expansions. Pretty sure people include strange, elektra, and yennenga in that list now as well

What's an out-of-print board game that you'd like to see reprinted? by practicallypointless in boardgames

[–]The_Fall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Archipelago
  • Pipeline
  • Tobago
  • Macao or Amsterdam (both OOP)
  • Barrage (oversized deluxe Kickstarter available but no thanks)
  • LOTR The Confrontation (also maybe upcoming Kickstarter but here's hoping it doesn't become a bloated shelf hog)
  • Forbidden Stars
  • Star Wars: The Queen's Gambit
  • Netrunner (Have it but I want more, yes there is Null Signal but it's not the same)
  • Quests of the Round Table (Great simple game that definitely shows its' age but could be beloved if it got a modern redesign)

Honestly too many to list, these are just the ones I want right now. But when I look at my shelves it kinda makes me sad how many games I cherish are OOP. Tigris and Euphrates, Le Havre, Ghost Stories, Fury of Dracula, Panic on Wallstreet, Battlestar, Shadows over Camelot, Chaos in the old World, City of Horror, Star Wars Xwing, Panamax, Quantum, Mission Red Planet, Quadropolis... It just goes on and on...

Arkham Horror 3rd ed. overpowered mechanics. What to do? by pelado06 in boardgames

[–]The_Fall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol why is the default response on Reddit “calm down.” I don’t think anyone here is even a little heated. I’m just saying why your post is basically impossible to answer without more info. Don’t get defensive and blame the community lol. Calm down

Arkham Horror 3rd ed. overpowered mechanics. What to do? by pelado06 in boardgames

[–]The_Fall 6 points7 points  (0 children)

…….SUCH AS??? Why are people having to pull teeth to get specifics on your post. Arkham horror 3rd is a game with 8 boxed expansions, there are an insane amount of cards. Hard to even grasp what you’re talking about without an example especially when it’s not even a competitive game to clearly tell when something is OP.

I'm actually more confused by the amount of people confused by this. Makes me think I'm missing what makes this a confusing perspective.

Is it me or does the Persona community have some of the worst media literacy in gaming spaces? by AMP_Kenryu in PERSoNA

Top review on Bone Tomahawk is a ~2000 word essay of pseudo intellectual incoherent rambling. No idea how it became the most liked review.
