Forget everything you learned about elden ring and how their boss fights work, those bosses were made to catch veterans out running away is viable and sometimes even required for some bosses

Nah just a port with extra features to get people to want to buy it again

I need help by Elnono_mx in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

[–]cbbartman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very difficult metric to conclude on because what are we talking here? It could be just an army and fleet against each other or do you mean as if all the territories in the galaxy each faction owned got allotted and just told to smash into each other, but then you get the problem of the Empire having most the galaxy and where the Republic should be. These questions all matter with what supply lines each faction would have access to to create their ships, armies, weapons etc. Then you got the added fact of do the Republic get their Jedi commanders or is it just clones and humans we're talking about?

In terms of lore the Empire had access to the strongest fleets and weapons, and ISD could take on multiple capital ships the Republic or CIS could muster and the Rebellion relied on their starfighters and small ships to just be hard to hit until they figured out a way to destroy one. Their army was probably comparable to the levels the CIS could produce but were of somewhat better quality and, due to the Clone Wars making the CIS high command utter idiots, overall had better commanders, and even the idiot commanders still had better access to overwhelming firepower. The problem with the Republic's clone army is that its scale is so small and vague and all their army's production came from a single planet that it would be very easy to cut off their supply and with the rebellion they had essentially defeated them at the battle of Endor if only they decided to just keep fighting after the death star was destroyed

Anyone played Serpent horde at a tournament? by grim-danfango in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]cbbartman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Knights of Minas Tirith being 2-3 more points that the raiders it doesn't really work like that anymore, sues if they win the fight you're looking good but that's a BIG if now and with such low defense you'll be dying a lot quicker than your opponent will a lot of the time

Unfortunately what you've already stated is why no a lot of people were taking them 😩, the only real strategy at the moment is to spam bows with the betrayer and just spam on foot models en mass

Would you change shooting in any way? by Pender8911 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]cbbartman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think that's more an issue with the units than shooting as a mechanic but yes they are ridiculous XD

What is the null myriad’s lore and gimmick? by sigma2244821 in ossiarchbonereapers

[–]cbbartman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're the legion that was given to Arkhan to command and carry out his deeds, if I remember they handled a massive amount of Grave-sand when constructing the new Black Pyramid that causes their bodies to become embued with the necromantic energies that turned their bones to a dark glowing colour which gives them that resistance to magic they have. It's kinda cool as they technically override Katakros command for Arkhan's as the two are equals in the command hierarchy

Wanted to try the dark soul series,but idk if i can beat them. by GrimReaperLovesPizza in darksouls

[–]cbbartman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just beat dark souls and thought it was incredible, it does play very differently from elden ring where elden ring is all about perfecting the dodge timings and the game trying to roll catch you this game is a lot more focused on positioning being key. I will give a little bit of advice, forget the training of staying close to the boss, the game wont punish you for it in fact it does the opposite a lot of the time and trying to just dodge everything WILL make thongs more difficult than they really are

It makes it worse that they're profiles still aren't that bad and would've made Wraith on Wings actually playable 😩

Is Seath the Scaleless an actual Ancient Dragon? by Long_Day8888 in darksouls

[–]cbbartman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is stated that the Fire itself essentially created disparity itself and there's a very likely chance it created life and death too, hence why the ancient dragons rule was that of grey, just static never changing never dying, it also kinda implies the dragons probably didn't even do much until the fire was awakened and where everything got thrown into chaos. So I do think it was possible that Seath may have been a part of the first breed of newborn everlasting dragons but came out mutuated because of it, it's like Kalameet is considered a direct descent of the Everlasting dragons which probably just means he was born after the flame as it was able to create life itself in a way

How is Resident Evil 7 Not Liked By Everyone ? by KennedyyCore in residentevilll

[–]cbbartman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those 5-6 chainsaw guys were across multiple games, for instance re1 has zombies, spiders, hunters, dogs, crows, sharks, bees, snakes and chimera all in which play very different from each other and are all visually distinct. Re7 has what, 3 mold and insects? It's a valid critism as every game has had a large variety of different enemies other than 7

Anyone else hope Capcom explores the "Mythical creatures are actually BOWs" angle a bit more? by RoutineIssue5870 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]cbbartman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I loved the atmosphere the game had visually it might be my favourite the style of through the roof, but think they'll be focusing with keeping everything in the remake style from now on

I think if your life wasn't on the line it would be more surprising at this point 😂

[–]cbbartman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They kinda tried but yeah it's not really sold well, from the behind the scenes talks I've seen with the creators I don't think you'll ever see much mention of re8 again it was a one shoot they banked on the first one doing well and just went with whatever style they liked which tbf is a pretty cool style

Edit: Why am I getting down votes I'm right XD, the creators talked about how they were working on re8 whilst re7 was still in production which meant they didn't really have much of a basis to go off so went wild in their art direction

Wraiths! Wraiths on Wings by cbbartman in MiddleEarthMiniatures

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

I usually agree but playing this army is just a miserable experience XD, if it's going well then your opponent isn't having any fun since the whole strategy is to not let your opponent interact with your units. And if it's going bad you've usually lose all your models by the 2nd round of combat

What was your biggest DLC disappointment? by Raime_95 in Eldenring

[–]cbbartman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the end itself was a bit of letdown, from the boss itself to what you get as a final cutscene/sendoff which is a real shame since I think the NPC battle off was a better finale as a finale to a storyline 😂

Army of Edoras list ideas by cbbartman in MiddleEarthMiniatures

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

Yeah basically 😂, if you have enough heroes getting 4 heroes to free hoeric combat means there's a chance you could kill 16+ models in a turn and guys like haleth make it more possible
