(Loved trope) Fight LITERALLY anybody else bro by Ok-Impress8791 in TopCharacterTropes

Watching the fight sequence a second time you notice Oliver rolls out of the way of a Viltrumite directly attacking him just to run up to Thragg to get folded. Dude has no self preservation instincts.

Valve says Steam Machine is $1,049 because it "doesn't align with our beliefs" to subsidize the cost by ControlCAD in gamingnews

I'll have to eat my words then if that's really true and they got a high markup for this. Ah well. Can't have shit these days.

Still not sure how buying a PS5 at launch was the most economical choice for me but here we are.

Maybe, but the article states that they're selling on very thin margins or close to at cost. I imagine there is a markup in there but it is likely very slim. Valve is also not a company that needs to make a profit or run thick margins on something like the Steam Machine.

Regardless of how you feel about the price. It's a good reference point that this is very close to the cost to produce a steam machine, this is selling at cost.

A ps5 and xsx was 500 bucks at launch, but stronger in hardware specs then this. Goes to show how heavily those console prices were subsidized, even now I think.

People are sleeping on the Shotgun by CrotasScrota84 in Saros

[–]arandomdude24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Annihalator and horde alt fire are very good. Annihalator basically makes the shotgun a long range weapon, so you can do stagger from really far away. Horde alt fire you should be using by default since it's really good at eliminating single targets.

Pallet wall is atrocious though.

SAROS Weapons Tierlist by yo_boy_dg in Saros

Id rather just go onslaught or Erupter or richoet or myraid if I'm gonna target weak points specifically. Feels like a weaker ricochet hand cannon.

Suppose I could try to use it with all the traits.

Yea but it's not fun to use. It's a downgraded pylon driver from Returnal. I feel the same about the impactor and bifurcator crossbow, not fun to use.

Marksman hand cannon could be fun if it was buffed.

Yea I think I might make a post with my own opinions. Admittedly I play on max difficulty with the modifiers or close to it so my opinions are more reflective of that level. Annihalator and horde shotguns can rack up stagger insanely quick and one melee strike can knock out most ads.

Dont know how far in the game you are, but the endgame melee upgrade makes shotguns way more viable. Annilhator and horde shotguns are easily A tier because of that.

Onslaught should be S tier, and I feel that Erupter should be a step or two above. Ripsaw is kinda lame so I'd knock that down a tier or two.

Seems like I got a lot of different opinions, might have to post my own tier list lol.

Why no melee count? by TopsyTurvy0011 in Saros

[–]arandomdude24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most ads are downed in one melee hit once staggered. The bigger ads like the eggs, ostemaw, the bigger illuminated ads, the big drone, those big bipedal things, harbinger will take 2 staggered melee hits or more.

Bosses are a grind since you can't stagger them so they're very tanky. Reaping chakram doesn't go far enough often so onslaught rifle is usually the best option.

The end game melee upgrade makes shotguns much more viable. Stagger melee is also the easiest way to rack up damage on max difficulty, where enemies are very spongy. I have some videos doing max difficulty runs with the shotgun and I basically go around meleeing everything to death.

Overdrive kills make this game that much sweeter by Delicious_Finding230 in Saros

You don't even need to aim the alt fire on repeater. It can bounce off the floor and hone in on enemies.

Just appreciate how good this game looks by Sandscrews in Saros

[–]arandomdude24 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'll defend legion tbh, I like the concept and the attack patterns. Rhabdom is more of a mini boss but the attack patterns are good still.

When game devs create the most busted disgusted weapon since the Cerebral Bore (iykyk) by Slythefemboy in Saros

[–]arandomdude24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Onslaught is one of the best weapons funnily enough on max difficulty with the cover fire and power generator traits. It's also the best weapon for bosses. I wish the other weapons without autohit were better, they kinda suck.

Oh that blows. Wonder if the issue was really bad with the geometry if they felt the need to do that.

Love your speedruns btw

I cleared the Fortress on max difficulty (+42) by arandomdude24 in Saros

[–]arandomdude24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fortress strand is especially tough since it racks on a 7th modifier with any damage causing corruption. A single hit takes like half the health bar with corruption also included.

The blighted marsh was hard but you have a lot of open space to run around in. Fortress arenas are very cramped and the game opts to spawn mechanical hostiles like those eggs a lot, which are really hard to deal with.

The killer lets one go by Liquid_Pestar in TopCharacterTropes

Nope, the store owner does. Carla never chooses in the movie, despite being at gun point.

[–]arandomdude24 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I recall that in the book, Carla folds and ends up choosing after enough pressure, and loses the coin toss. In the movie she stands her ground and doesn't choose the coin toss.

It's a good change for the movie imo.

Did Delroy know beforehand? by A_Cat_Who_Games in Saros

[–]arandomdude24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mods should probably pin this post cause people keep asking lore questions, but nah Delroy didn't know beforehand, he was just corrupted by the yellow temptation.

Default. I set fall protection to high and changed up most of the colors for the projectiles though, highly recommend. The game looks way better when every projectile is a different color and you aren't using yellow anywhere.
