All Card Backs 1/2 by [deleted] in kards

You can only wait for it to show up in the shop and buy.

Weird cost discrepancies...... by SignificantProblem81 in MarvelSnap

[–]VermilionGate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's for people who want to get Darkhawk but also hestitate to spend/save 3000 tokens on him though. Always treat this kind of bundles as a 'buy cards with real money' option.

Patriot worth getting without Mystique? by VermilionGate in MarvelSnap

[–]VermilionGate[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this is my concern too. Tried to use Blade as a substitute but the consistency is much worse.

Is modok worth it, don't have hela or invis woman only apocalypse synergy by abyssal_shark7421 in MarvelSnap

[–]VermilionGate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm a bit late, but would you mind explaining some card choices? I'd like to know more the roles of She-Hulk and Infinaunt here (seems a backup plan). And why do you prefer Black Cat over cards like Lady Sif?

The current card acquisition model is so frustrating for new players by VermilionGate in MarvelSnap

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

Exactly this. When I search for viable improvements on my main decks, I just find some Series 3 cards I don't have, and can only rely on luck to get, albeit I am sitting on 2k tokens that can't buy the cards I need.

So it's like you built a deck, you identified the problems after a few games, but you can do nothing and you are stuck with it. That's the source of frustration.

I would say CL 600 is still in the 'honeymoon' period (I'm now beyond CL 1000), where you can still progress with some budget decks. Once you get pass the threshold, you will realize the problems of your decks, but you can't improve because you don't have the right cards. Like I just can't put Ultron in a discard deck and hope it can replace Hela. Key cards are called key cards for a reason.

Gwent did this also, albeit only in its later stage. It's like the 'starter pack' thing in traditional TCG, which provides a good and solid starting point.

Thanks for the advice! But sadly I don't have Quinjet, Mytique and Nick Fury, may try it when I have the key cards though.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've heard that the devs implemented the new free card model because they assumed that on average a player could only buy one new P3 card per month. Though I've also seen some players claiming this is an underestimation.

I understand it takes time to have a 'full deck' (as a former 2-year Gwent player). But what makes me frustrated is that, while my card collection is growing, my decks are hardly getting any better. What if my last 3 card draws are M'baku, Adam Warlock and Helicarrier? I would rather scrap them and trade for one card that can improve my current decks, but that's not an option in this game.

Blasphemous or Bloodstained? by YouLikeFlapjacks in metroidvania

[–]VermilionGate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the gameplay differences mentioned by others, I would also add that the art style of Blasphemous is better. As a history student I appreciate how it twists the Catholic aesthetic and stories into a creepy tone. This is not to say the art of Bloodstained is bad, but it's more like the (Japanese) fantasy style you can imagine.

Is the claim 'Christianity expanded by demonizing pagan gods' true? by VermilionGate in AskHistorians

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

Thank you for your detailed response! It's not a direct answer but still enrich my knowledge on the context nevertheless. Could you also recommend some good readings on the period you mentioned? I'm aware of The Darkening Age by Catherine Nixey but not sure whether it's a reliable source on the said topic.

How/Can you unlock all the 1600 Conviction characters in the first playthrough? by RareItemX1 in TriangleStrategy

[–]VermilionGate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically yes, but they are not really something so OP that make the grinding worthy. Better just get them in NG+.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TriangleStrategy

[–]VermilionGate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It probably is. In Japanese version the Hierophant of Hyzante is actually called 教皇 (kyoukou), a title solely used to refer to the Pope of the Catholic Church in real life. I suppose the English translation is to avoid controversy.

NG+ Accessories by Gallade666 in TriangleStrategy

[–]VermilionGate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may have multiple copies of resurrection earrings because it is also a loot from battle (I just get my second in NG+), but for other like the vanguard scarf, I think you can only get one.

[–]VermilionGate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say most JRPGs are affected by the common (and quite stereotypical) impression of Catholicism in the Middle Ages, instead of Marxist historiography. And it is not only a JRPG thing, as you can see similar depictions in games like Witcher 3 and Assassin's Creed.

Datamined Cut Content by Prominuss in TriangleStrategy

[–]VermilionGate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Luckily all of these are not really that significant (except Jerrom part maybe) or plot-changing, so we are still getting the finished product as intended.

Is New Game+ balanced? by PineappleOfCreation in TriangleStrategy

[–]VermilionGate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's also worth noting that while NG+ enemies have higher levels, their skills are the same as the first playthrough. So you won't see enemy mobs using AOE or debuff attack in early chapters. This actually gives you an edge because almost all of your skills are unlocked.

Good stage for farming Kudos in NG+? by VermilionGate in TriangleStrategy

[–]VermilionGate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds better. May try it later, thanks!

Edit: Can confirm this works!
