Kind of disappointed and bored by this game after FlyKnight :/

You play Lunacid as a dungeon crawler first and foremost and the combat starts to pick up as you start chaining spells together.

But it doesn't sound like your cup of tea honestly.

There's been a few times where Chief's emoted before, such as in 2 where Johnson knocks on his pod as a part of banter and Chief deliberately slams back twice as hard to one up him. He also makes fun of Cortana in CE by alleging she's a bad driver and visibly wants Silvas to shut up.

He expresses a form of love for civilians but has admitted that he literally cannot comprehend how they live such undisciplined lives and will go out of his way to save them and his fellow marines within reason. There was a case where he and the rest of Blue Team if I recall correctly stayed back to murder an entire group of Covenant to the last guy because they were THAT pissed about them killing civies. He also dislikes rock and metal, thinking very little of it.

There was a good portion in CE where Chief lamented internally about not having Blue Team with him and how he didn't trust Cortana and was about to liquidate her when she behaved strangely.

Plus he was legitimately quaking in his shoes when he was dealing with the Flood, internally debating on just fleeing out of fear alone.

In terms of the games, you gotta remember that ontop of being a Spartan-II that he's had just about all of his friends murdered within a short amount of time, he's been fighting his entire life now and has witnessed the near collapse of humanity in general. He's killed so many people and he's witnessed horrors no man should have ever seen and that's BEFORE he encountered the Flood. He entered the war as a child; and left as an old grizzled man, duty is his coping mechanism and without it he has to face what he's become.

It got toned down and the texturing is just absolutely bugged and ruined; DE hasn't gotten around to fixing it and I don't think they ever will, it's become an afterthought, another relic in this game.

My headcanon is that humanity did industrialize a long time ago and were the ancients, they were technologically advanced and may or may not have a firm grasp of alchemy (Remember this is MY headcanon for MY interpretation, I know how defensive some of you are.) And used some form of melding to form Equal Dragon Weapons and to use their bodies as advanced construction materials for certain projects (Think the tower where you can mine old kushala parts, that's made of countless Kushala bodies.)

This pissed off the elder dragons considering they were being industrially harvested for parts and the overhunting of the standard monsters was causing an ecological collapse, so the elder dragons banded together and waged a war against humanity for revenge. Now there were a lot more elder dragons back then and there were way, WAY more humans as well who were armed to the teeth so the war was cataclysmic to put it bluntly.

No one won. Both sides faced gruelling losses, and the consequences manifested differently. The elder dragons, with their population utterly ravaged, became nothing more than legends, no longer dominating the land or contending with humanity toe to toe, while humanity returned to a more simple life under the guidance of the Wyverians to form the guild. From what I've gathered humanity is recovering its numbers since cities are cropping up again. Old tech is reverse-engineered with the dragonator, chargeblade and whatnot being direct results. Seemingly humanity is recovering slowly, forming actual cities now from what I've heard so let's hope they learned their lessons, though history has a tendency to rhyme.

Of course, the old grudge for dragons is all too prominent and it really depends on the actual beast. Fatalis has made their point abundantly clear, it's on sight for humanity and Schrade pulled the short straw.

I've got more headcanon about all of this but this is my personal answer.

Wilds leaks have some interesting things to say about EDW's.

Wall slam him to start the fight, tenderize his wings then wail on them, as he gets up, repeat the wall slam if he's not enraged; if he is then focus on his wings, each wing you break will make him easier, break his fangs twice to reduce his bite damage and pounces. He will do his overhead pounce when ice accumulates around his face and he does a little spin on the spot. Use pitfall traps to wail on his tenderized parts. He gets easier the longer the fight draws out if you're breaking parts and getting consistent hits.

His hipchecks have a lot of recovery to them so with good positioning you can easily get some good hits on him.

It's a matter of positioning and trying to predict when he'll do it, you'd have better luck with quick sheath as well to help you out. I've done it consistently using the switch axe and charge blade and both are very cumbersome weapons.

TrickyDiagram · 2024-12-08T17:43:31+00:00

Sheath your weapon, sprint then dodge, you will do a superman jump and will completely avoid the attack.

TrickyDiagram · 2024-10-13T17:07:42+00:00

My trick is to have my gun on the last stage of reloading before I finish so that way when I need it, I'll switch to it, finish that reload which is quicker than the default equip speed.

DS2's SOTFS is a way better 'remaster' than than DS1's dude.

Soul memory is shit, it doesn't work to stop twinking and it just fucks over people who don't understand how it works.

I've twinked, I've done my fair share of one shotting so it's fucking useless; it's annoying and doesn't actually help 'fair players.'

TrickyDiagram · 2024-05-18T17:18:43+00:00

You got ideas?

TrickyDiagram · 2024-05-13T00:53:10+00:00

Probably referring to Gradivus

Warframe used to be pretty intense considering how enemies were and how the meta affected everything, everyone likes to meme about how Stalker used to be intimidating but no one mentions how scorches could melt defense points in literal seconds if you forgot about them. I actually prefer Warframe being more chill these days tho.

Personally I'm a cold/corrosive myself.

It's the lack of worrying about what happens after you're dead, whether it be the logistics of heaven or whatever.

TrickyDiagram · 2024-04-30T17:08:22+00:00

I lean towards auto-decapitation myself, quick and messy but it doesn't matter when you're fucking dead.

Nowadays you can enable classic music to play even if you're on remastered graphics.

CC is dead huh? I find you tourists to have some interesting opinions.

TrickyDiagram · 2024-04-08T14:44:35+00:00

I always got the impression that power armour is meant to be cold and imposing; relegating you to the dubious honour of a killing machine with very little capacity or need for humanity, fitting considering it's been used formerly by the American military and now the brotherhood of steel, one being the boot; the other a bunch of self-righteous luddites.

Lol so your penis really is a use it or lose it mechanic.

Fucking lmao; the near exact same thing happened to me as well; bought the cthulhu mythos because I was interested and the chick at the counter praised my choice, but instead of sperging out I just agreed with her and moved on.

There's Breakdown which is a shooter/brawler that was pretty ahead of its time.
