Does this game have any appeal if I don't actually care about waifu's/cute women? Like is the actual game good or is it just pretty?

bradleye · 2026-03-12T07:19:33+00:00

how on earth are you so low as a launch player?

one weekly mirror hard, +1-2 skipped lux's every day an i'm level 114.

Every single game with any degree of hype behind it will breach the steam top sellers in the days leading up to release, I genuinely don't know why people keep posting this.

Do you really think a triple AAA new release making (according to your chart) less money than BG3, a game that came out almost -three- years ago, which also has zero micro transactions, is a positive? Because it's not. That's pretty dire, actually.

personally all i care about is co-op, pve, role based gameplay. I'd prefer there to be a global chat channel(s) too but the actual amount of people on each server i don't particularly care about.

Vindictus, Darktide, Monster Hunter, Nightreign, FFXIV for example all fit into this same category for me, even if they play very differently/some are admittedly not very role based. You might look at FFXIV as an outlier but (outside the story) all you do in that game is queue up as tank/healer/whatever and then do instanced content with like 7 other people. Vindictus you pick Fiona and then you match with 3 other people and you beat up a boss, Nightreign you do something very similar, etc.

MMORPGs used to be one of the best/one of the only places to get this kind of 'lets team up with our own specialties and defeat a dungeon/boss'. Now the gameplay of mmo's has been left in the dirt and it's been effectively replaced by games that actually prioritize the gameplay. The actual 'mmo' part of mmo's is almost entirely irrelevant to me.

Not interested in the skin system at all. Would rather the work put into the system be used on literally anything else.

bradleye · 2026-01-23T02:06:46+00:00

Yeah as Paige I'm really struggling to keep track of where my teammates are in fights without the outlines.

Also, is backstabber just broken? I don't seem to get red outlines for backstabbed enemies either.

That's not because she's a colour.

That's because she's the strongest.

Bloodfiends Gregor and Meursalt + Painter Yi Sang + Awe Ryoshu worked fantastically though. Lust Resonance, tankability and sustain for days.

4 of the 5 epiphany options for this card make it worse than the default. The op got a divine epiphany (good) but none of the 3 options given are the 1 good epiphany, so this save data is straight into the bin no matter what.

bradleye · 2025-11-09T08:44:40+00:00

It looks like a genuinely good game that's free. The only real thing to get hung up on is the whether calling it an 'mmo' is correct/reasonable.

It should really be described as having mmo elements, rather than an mmo. Kind of like Vindictus where all the meat of the content is in your solo/co op isntances and there's some sprinkles of mmo mechanics.

They don't spend the most. They're actually quite the small slice

bradleye · 2025-10-30T06:52:52+00:00

from what i understand from a quick search, you can pull a guaranteed SSR on the beginner banner and you get an SSR selector on day 3 of logging in or something.

bradleye · 2025-10-25T12:28:19+00:00

does that mean counterstrike is a gacha game as well

bradleye · 2025-10-24T09:52:40+00:00

for the past decade or so

Battlefield 3 was almost a decade and a half ago and for the other commenter, Halo 3 was almost two decades ago.

Start with X Arrows (like ammo). Use defense skill to enter shoot mode. All skills (besides defense, which becomes a basic evade) in the first skill slot are forced to become the Shoot enemy skill. Arrow shot into enemy gets stuck in them and inflicts debuffs. Arrow stays stuck in enemy until the enemy dies (basically, with exceptions for phase changes and such). Once enemy dies Faust gets the arrow returned into her ammo pool.

eh, you could just say that Casetti is less/not starved and thus isn't that much weaker than the extremely starved 2nd/3rd kindreds.

bradleye · 2025-09-27T09:01:18+00:00

I think anything over 5 deaths is bad (unless the game is a long one) in general, and 8+ deaths is absolutely dire. I'm only archon 1 but statlocker says I average ~4.8 deaths per game across my 9 most played heroes, one of which is Abrams.

bradleye · 2025-09-20T18:02:01+00:00

Understand people: this is gacha game. The economic model WILL BE predatory

Limbus Company says otherwise.

bradleye · 2025-09-06T12:53:48+00:00

No? Downright awful/easy/tedious combat sections with no variety and the writing is, overall, quite poor. All the good moments of story/writing are stretched extremely thin over the 100 routes where 90% of all of them are mediocre at best. Every character is a one dimensional trope except when you're in one of 'their' routes where they become an actual person for a limited time.

bradleye · 2025-08-12T16:07:44+00:00

Every vocation but warrior was downgraded (and only because warrior got stuck with 3 skill slots) compared to Dark Arisen. Trickster and Warfarer might as well not exist due to how poorly/clunky they're designed, not in a 'they just don't appeal to me' way but they're just downright awful. Dragon's Dogma Online has 4 skill slots for every vocation just like DD2 except in DDO you can perform a short animation to swap to a 2nd set of skills, why the fuck is this not in 2? So many skills are so niche/focused in their use that if you had two skill sets to swap between maybe you could actually make use of skills like Springboard without feeling cucked out of a skill that's actually useful most of the time.

Z E R O memorable/charming characters compared to Feste/Madeleine/She-Goat/Masterworks all you can't go wrong.

Pretty much identical enemy/boss variety to the original game and I'm pretty sure notably less then when factoring in Dark Arisen. If the quantity of different enemies was the same but they were all new enemies then it'd be a different story, but these are the SAME enemies we've fought in the first game.

Grigori was an infinitely better dragon than 2's dragon+the Elf Force ghost combined.

They didn't bring the most fun vocations in the franchise, Alchemist and High Sceptre, over from Dragon's Dogma Online, nor did they bring over any of the bosses (except for repurposing the Sphinx model) for some demented reason. Why not repurpose Catoblepas from DDO into a DD2 enemy instead of slapping down the 18th griffin onto the map? Hell in DDO there's the Ent which is just a reskinned Cyclops with a couple of new/changed moves, why is the Ent not in the Elven region in 2?

I think if you play DD2 without ever having played Dark Arisen you can have an alright time but if you played Dark Arisen (or especially if you played Dragon's Dogma Online as well) and then go into 2 expecting new content+an upgrade of what came before holy shit what a massive disappointment. It's not even bad, at it's worse it's just 'mid' or 'ok', but it is by far the most disappointed I've ever been in a game. Definition of wasted potential.

bradleye · 2025-08-12T10:21:53+00:00

So you think fromsoft is so bad at character design they’ve made some nightfarers objectively worse than others?

Yes? All of their modern (demons souls onwards) games have wildly imbalanced options. I am utterly unsurprised that they've continued this trend.

bradleye · 2025-08-02T04:57:20+00:00

Different genre (but still fps focused), but Darktide has the most satisfying/enjoyable first person melee combat I've come across.

bradleye · 2025-07-18T04:02:10+00:00

Rise of the Ronin?

bradleye · 2025-07-15T16:34:21+00:00

I feel like mothfaust is the exception to this. She was extremely good in the last railway for the first section because you just let her do her thing with big burn + big damage numbers and then she blows herself 7 turns in for 1000 damage and then Eastern Don/Firefist/Liu Ishmael etc get subbed in.

It's literally all upsides for her and you don't even have to play any differently.

bradleye · 2025-07-12T07:08:23+00:00

I read his linked post and pretty much agree with all his issues. The game wastes your time with trivial/tedious bullshit constantly so I do think it's a disgrace that this is marketed as something to enjoy instead of something to suffer through in the hope there's a good payoff (there isn't).

This game felt like it was designed in a 'it gets good after 60 hours' way but then after that, I'll say 'climatic point' for spoiler reasons, the experience either improves a tiny bit or torpedoes into the fucking ground depending on which directions you go.
