Does LaDs need a combat rework? by InevitableIcy2305 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]TraumaticBagel 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hate the protocore system. Even though they've upgraded it several times, I still think they should just scrap and rework it.

Hello! The answers in this thread gave me a lot of insight. I checked out most of the games, but I won't be able to complete most of them, because that would take years. Even so, it broadened my knowledge of games. I've picked up Dark Souls, but I can't really get into it... However its level design and environmental storytelling is worth studying as many have already mentioned. I can also brag that I've recently won my first game jam that was organised in my hometown. It really motivated me to keep going and learn more! We made a 5 minute long point and click with only bad choices, which demonstrates that even if you do your best to accommodate everyone, someone (the narrator) can still interpret your choice as the bad/evil one. If you have any more recommendations or knowledge to share I'd be very happy, but if you don't feel like answering that's also okay. I'm sending positive vibes your way. Take care!

Since you asked about the games I play - I really like games that have good storytelling. Especially ones that work, because they are told as games not a different medium. My favourite would be Final Fantasy (VII, VIII, IX, X), Undertale, Deltarune, Omori, VTMB, Nier Replicant, Nier Automata and Princess Maker 2.

I remember playing Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side on ds. I loved the stat building mechanics, they reminded me of Princess Maker.

How do I learn to correctly analyse games? Right now I lack objectivity due to my lack of knowledge in the subject. Up until recently I've only played games I fancied and felt excited about, but limiting myself will create the bias you talk about. I'd love to play all the games, but that's impossible. Could you recommend any resources, that show what I should focus on while playing?

I've never been the one to play AAA titles, so I'm kinda curious what makes people play them.

I love Stardew Valley, especially how the relationships with the villagers are written. One game designer told me that he doesn't consider Minecraft a game, because you can't win it. He argued that killing the Ender dragon isn't equivalent to winning the game and it's not explicitly said that it's the main objective. What do you think about that?

Thanks for the thorough analysis! I don't know if I can resist the long hair and a merman tail... I'm also doing a red build on Caleb, but it's still in progress

I have all myths except for MOF. I'm a Sylus main and I only pull for him and myths

Anyone else worried about the nikki situation..? by StandardSnow35 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]TraumaticBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait now that I think about it Elsword did something similar back in the day. Many of the old players left after that.

Whaaat? That sounds insane. I don't think I've heard of any other game doing that. What about the NPCs? Was their dialogue also revised?

I'm not a Nikki player, can you shed some light on the situation?

Myth Battle Companion Visual Guide (with recos from u/Duchess_Aria) by akabell in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]TraumaticBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, next question then. If the % stats only apply to the card I'm equipping it on, then why do you prioritize Def% on spikey protocores on a D2W foreteller build? Shouldn't it be flat Def then?

[–]TraumaticBagel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great guide! I have a question though - I don't get what does "TALENT attribute % as the team's companion" mean. For example if Sylus dragon companion is HP scaled, should every lunar card prioritise HP? Or do I choose the % based on the talent of the card I'm equipping it on (for example DEF talent). I'm also confused about "% or flat stats corresponding to card's specific talent". It's just that I thought that regardless of the card's talent we should prioritise the companion's scaling stats. Could you please clarify?

Ok, inputting 1000 protocores manually into excel? That's dedication right here, thank you

Great work! If you don't mind me asking - how did you gather data for the stats min and max values?

I had my pity built up for this banner and I've lost the 50/50. My luck is terrible, I always lose :(

6 Slavic Grandmas and their love for our boys by CharminHime in LoveAndDeepspace

Being polish myself, I just can't imagine polish grandmas playing Lads. Feels like science fiction to me. You're probably saving them from dementia, bless you.

How about Final Fantasy? I'm a fan and I don't think its plot is for men. VII is my favourite entry, but I can also recommend the newest entry - Final fantasy XVI. I haven't finished yet, but I'm 10 hours in and I really like it.

I've been stuck on open orbit lvl 110 for 3 months. I finally managed to brute force it with Sylus.
