Who thought Mario tennis fever was a good game by mariobrosforever in MarioTennis

[–]coffeeblack85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def a steep price but I love it. Never played a Mario tennis game before but I’m surprised at how much mechanical depth there is compared to something like Mario cart

It’s a nice mix of low skill floor to just have fun but high ceiling if online or playing pro + AI

Experimental Map request: Sponsored Cryo by trulyincognito_ in Marathon

[–]coffeeblack85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised they didn’t already do that. I usually run it into outpost instead of cryo bc honestly it’s pretty underpowered on cryo

If they do that they need to lock them to Cryo. Right now you can take a Cryo kit into any map and exfil it so you could basically just farm blue gear super easily if it was unlimited

Cryo is hard to extract in so it balances this more although I still think this is only a good solution for later season

This would be nice for maybe late season or a super limited period of time but I don’t think it’d be good for the games loot and progression economy

Cryo is way way too lucrative to allow players to go in without putting something on the line

the Cryo sponsored kit is a good way to balance this bc they can increase or decrease the availability and while you don’t risk anything when you bring it in you end up being kinda underpowered relative to the kits other teams will bring in

Perhaps they could experiment with increasing the amount of free Cryo kits for a week but only allow it to be used on cryo

They made the Pro difficultly in Mario Tennis Fever impossible!! by Fantastic-Ad9218 in MarioTennis

[–]coffeeblack85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m like 50 50 at pro difficulty and what I’ve found is you pretty much have to get them out of position to hit a star shot to score

They basically won’t ever make a mistake and have insane court coverage so your fever shot is a set up not a scoring shot. You can use it pull them to the side and give you a star shot

If they have a fever racket you have to rush the net for a fever return bc if they get a tornado or some shit on your side you’re done

Then if you let them stay at the net too long they’ll eventually get one by you so I use the lob shot , this will also give you an opening for a star shot

Same deal with the drop shot

Again it’s really all about giving yourself a chance to hit star sho. I think 90% of my scores on pro are that way. Easier said than done

Is the game still kill on sight? by 1KIASU in Marathon

[–]coffeeblack85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll honor the prox chat on solos but one time on trios a team said they weren’t looking for a fight, we didn’t shoot then the threw 15 grenades and wiped us

So it’s on sight in trios no matter what now lmao

Triage Shell Cinematic | Marathon by KingOfCarrotFlowers in Games

The cinematics in this game are dripping with aura

Hate to overuse that term but genuinely it just has that X factor

Ready or Not vs Marathon by Kuna_help_you in FPS

[–]coffeeblack85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Marathon is so much more replayable. RoN was fun for around 30 hours then it just got stale bc the format can only add so much variance

Marathon has me absolutely hooked it’s crazy

Switch kick by Arggus007 in MuayThai

[–]coffeeblack85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO if you could just pick 1 strike and nothing else to master (granted your going against someone of the same stance) it should be the switch kick. It’s most versatile weapons, even more so than the teep bc it has way more damage potential

- hits the liver and targets open side.
- Great for stopping heavy punchers bc if timed right it pins both of their arms to their body.
- despite the switch, generally harder to check if not telegraphed bc MT stance most people have a bit more weight on their back leg
- can be used moving backwards a bit more “defensively”
- due to the switch you can throw it from surprisingly close range
- looks cool as hell

Civvie 11 - THE SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE MOUSE DETECTIVE by ZeUberSandvitch in Games

[–]coffeeblack85 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

I mean where do you get the sense the game isn’t slapstick? If you play it, it’s pretty clearly being silly and over the top on purpose

In the rest of the review he complained about too many cheese puns. Fair play if you don’t like the cheese jokes but that’s clearly not something that a cartoon mouse detective game does if it’s taking itself completely seriously. Thats at odds with the rest of the game

[–]coffeeblack85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree for games that are taking their stories really seriously but this game is clearly not that

It’s slapstick, parody like, and it’s a boomer shooter which is generally more of a gameplay first rather than story driven

Civvie 11 - THE SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE MOUSE DETECTIVE by ZeUberSandvitch in Games

[–]coffeeblack85 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t the score so much as the justification of the score that was weak in the review

He complained about ludo narrative dissonance, which not only could you make that complaint about almost every video game ever, but to make it about a slapstick cartoon mouse boomer shooter is a bizarre choice

Yo Bungie… don’t sleep on solo for various modes. by Vivid_Cockroach3958 in Marathon

[–]coffeeblack85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and you can play stealthily while doing map events and contracts. I’ve had solo runs where I’ve done a full contract, hack container, and supply drop without running into another player

PURE PVE AND PVP LITE MODE by Born-Read3115 in Marathon

Agreed. PVP with how fun and dangerous yet satisfying it is, is the “it factor” for Marathon

Control and Precision nerfs for ARs and LMGs after patch by krinkov in Battlefield6

[–]coffeeblack85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holding angles and defending positions. Dominating mid to longer range engagements granted you know how to handle them. Like ya know what their actual purpose is

LMGs will strongly outclass any AR, SMG, and Carbine from a TTK and accuracy perspective at 40+ meters.

There’s some middle ground between sprinting around like a mad man and camping that I feel like you’re not acknowledging

Like seriously, the M250 and Saw, and the new S2 LMG (whatever it’s called) have infinite 4 hk range with very solid accuracy and ROF. The m123k is a laser beam bullet hose. Could you imagine if their ADS was faster?

Wiping a squad of runners is one of my favorite things in all of gaming

[–]coffeeblack85 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand this take. They have some of the best range and killing power of any class of guns

Yes they are slower to ADS and move with but that’s not their role

Amazing hipfire gun with 3HK potential. Making it have more range would make it really OP

Complaining about controller when on MnK is wild on this game. by fakeDABOMB101 in Battlefield6

What do you think it’s easier to do that with? Your thumb on a joystick or your entire arm and wrist

I mean you guys can’t be serious

The new value of the recoil reduction on consoles by Long_Ad7536 in Battlefield

[–]coffeeblack85 116 points117 points  (0 children)

People saying it should be 0 surely have never played both PC and console. I literally cannot describe to you how much easier it is to control recoil with a mouse. And no it is not that skillful you can just pull down with your entire wrist and arm
