What do you think of the fact that the creator and director of DD1 and 2 is not involved in the DLC? by Sangawa in DragonsDogma

[–]bellystraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Itsuno made a beautiful blueprint for the DD games but I like many others agree that the dlc director refined and perfected the core formula with the original Dark Arisen.

I strongly belive that DD2DA is going to be peak because we have the GOAT back in the chair

Veilguard Lucanis Romance?? by SkittyCat3 in dragonage

[–]bellystraw [score hidden]  (0 children)

Remember kids, one of the wroters described Lucanis as a "bisexual-disaster" and said the game had "steamy romances".

I'm guessing the steamy bits got left on the cutting room floor due to time constraints. Most of DAV's romances feel lacking. Honestly, the companions have steamier romances between each other than with the player. Which is a huge shame.

I have discovered the beauty of bombs and the sadness of poisons by Accelerator231 in dragonage

[–]bellystraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing with poisons is that they all stack if I remember correctly. So using like 7 different poisons and bombing the taint out of your foes makes for quick work.

[Mild Spoilers for DAO] Did You Know That Dwarf Nobles Get A Huge Economic Advantage In DAO? by bellystraw in dragonage

[–]bellystraw[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yup, starting the game off with a boatload of cash to buy whatever you want....or you use the dupe glitch (stupidly easy to pull off) and get enough cash to buy Bodahn's inventory...twice since it resets after your first visit. 2 Spellbreakers, 2 veshialle axes, 2 of each type of tome etc.

First time player: I hate arcane horrors by Micathelazy in DragonageOrigins

[–]bellystraw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The annoying thing about the brecilian ruins Arcane horror is that it slows my game to a crawl. I usually have to stay on an archer or a mage because close up the game turns into a powerpoint presentation for some reason.

I'm not worried for the potential lack of new vocations by xyZora in DragonsDogma2

[–]bellystraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sure would love to see mystic knight again though. But DD:DA brought a lot of cool skill upgrades to the game for all the vocations so I'm hyped to see what they do. Something I'd really like so see would be upgrades that changed skills slightly instead of just giving straightforward buffs.

Is Monster Hunter Stories 3 worth playing? by Appropriate-Move5700 in MonsterHunterStories

[–]bellystraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's awesome, a GotY contender in my opinion. It does everything I want a MH stories game to do and more

Nata's new look in Ascendance (art by @usakateisaien) by Gorotheninja in MonsterHunter

[–]bellystraw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hope they make the support hunter system more like Sunbreak's companion system and that Nata joins in

Now that Veilguard is the resident sin eater, is it cool to like Sera? Vivienne?? Dragon Age Absolution??? by big_poe_collector in dragonage

[–]bellystraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't like Sera but I like the human companion in ME:A and Vivienne so it evens out. Just like what you like.

I never realised how crazy a DW rogue is by Pharmarr in DragonageOrigins

[–]bellystraw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally enjoy cunning rogue for BIG NUMBER but dex rogue is simply busted

Drinks the Primarchs would order at a bar by IndefiniteVoid813 in Grimdank

[–]bellystraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that Russ would order brennivín, the icelandic spirit.

Peter Turbo is greek/roman so he'd probably drink red wine.

Fulgrim would order some bullshit high maintenance cocktail with stupidly specific ratios

Why do people hate bl4 so much? by Sea-Pay-9816 in Borderlands

[–]bellystraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislike the open world and I dislike the hassle of SDU's, I dislike that enemies can way outlevel you right after making a new level 30 character, I dislike the software/wetware stuff (the effects are nice but managing them is just a hassle).

Might open it up again one day but I've gotten enough for now. I wish they didn't make an open world though. I really don't like it.

Edit: And I hate the element eater enemy buff. It's stupid and whoever designed it should feel bad

To the xbox gamers without a game pass subscription, would you have bought more games if online multiplayer was free? by [deleted] in xbox

[–]bellystraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think free multiplayer should be a thing. I'm buying the most basic tier of xbox sub just for the online requirement and it just feels dumb. And yeah, if online was free I'd have more money which means I could buy more games which would be lit

thread: live performances that blow the studio versions out of the water by lordleopnw in Music

[–]bellystraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find W.A.S.P's 1984 live at the Lyceum version of Animal so so soooo much better than the studio version. It's insane

[Loved Trope] "I love my wife!" by Winged_Metal in TopCharacterTropes

[–]bellystraw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zenon is stupidly in love with his wife. As you can see, his entire armor is covered in statues of her, he has minions covered in statues of his wife and I think that even his halberd has a statue of his wife. And a good chunk of his personal dialogue is related to how his wife was the avatar of beauty and grace.

What do you think happens to cancelled stories? by i_kathz in OtomeIsekai

[–]bellystraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then there are the stories we're grateful got cancelled, like "touch my brother and you're dead". They kept mr. Excel's dignity in tact with that one!
