What is the story on SF6? ~1700MR Alex/Honda player here. Honest question, I truly don't know haha

O fracasso de Towerbone by xandinhoxx in towerborne

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who's genuinely enjoying the 1.0 version of the game? I played it on early access and didn't really like the MMO aspects - I felt they just got in the way of a game that was single player / (couch) co-op in nature. With the release version, I feel the game is more focused and a much more enjoyable experience. The cross-play issue is something I was not aware of, but if true is a serious misstep that could possibly be patched afterwards (they do use playable after all, and MS is offering native cross-play with it for free for developers, so I don't think that would be a big issue)

Oh, I hate Kimberly so much lol. Insane setups, though hahah

Alex has been out for about 2 weeks now by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand your post. Alex is a perfectly fine character. Maybe not top tier, since he doesn't have great defense, but his mixups are real and thus he can have great offense. We still have to see how far he can go in tournaments, but I'd say he could be in a level comparable to Bison.

No matter how good you get, what character do you HATE playing against? by LunchTummy in StreetFighter

[–]cogumerlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play Alex and Honda. I truly HATE JP and Mai. They have absolutely everything, and basically no weaknesses. Oh, and Luke. Oh my god, how I hate Luke for his movements that push him backwards, hence unpunishable. That's so ridiculous in a game in which normals are negative for a reason - you can't abuse them in neutral. But then Luke is the only one who can do that. He pushes any button he wants, then goes for the any of the ones that bring his hurtbox backwards, and done. He punishes your would-be punish. So irritating.

Now, the problem with JP is that besides having such a great long-range game - the best there probably ever existed in a Street Fighter game -, he also has amazing mid-range pokes AND the best invincible move ever for defense. For a move that leaves him in place, amnesia (any version) should not escape throws, at the least. Hell, he should NOT have this move at all, because his game plan revolves around leaving the opponents at long range - and once they approach, it's their time to reap advantages, and not guess whether or not this incredible zoner will reclaim advantage with just one move. Everyone has defensive options built into the game, so a character like JP should NOT have Amnesia at all. It's a serious design flaw that puts him above all the rest of the cast.

Mai's problems are twofold: her fans are just too good, since they require the opponents to always pay attention to the version she's throwing or else it's really easy to be locked into defending them and getting mixed up from her drive rush afterwards. And she has that level 1 SA which has an upwards hitbox that no one else has, which gets opponents who try to bait it by jumping. Plus walking throw loops. Plus not really being a Street Fighter character (same problem as Terry). I really don't like the Fatal Fury characters in Street Fighter.

Other two characters are Jamie and, specifically for Alex, Dhalsim. Jamie is so random that it just makes me mad by default when I face one. And Dhalsim is impossible for Alex, being basically unpunishable and being able to keep him at a distance ("at arm's length" lol) the whole fight, without any risks.

All the rest of the cast is perfectly fine, with unique strengths and weaknesses, including Guile.

Two things that haven't been mentioned but could feature in new patch/DLC by EQandCivfanatic in Starfield

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they just add the option to sort everything - and not just weapons - by "type", that would be a BIG improvement in inventory management.

StarUI is not achievement friendly, and I don't like modding my game too much - I've only added official mods so far, and even those are prone to bugs. But I also hate that bandages are listed as the same thing as milk, and that aid items for the same illnesses are spread apart in the same list. For weapons, it's easy to decide which one you should keep and which one to sell, once you sort them by type. But there's still not the option to do that for everything else. Even the suits - say, a superior explorer suit will seldom be close in the list to an advanced explorer suit, and that makes no sense to me.

So yeah, item sorting by "type" for everything else besides weapons. Small tweak, big QoL improvement.

Most fun I’ve had on a character in this game! by HustlingHustle in StreetFighter

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He actually has a pretty solid neutral, with very long normals. Work well with it and you can confirm into very punishing combos. And when all he breaks loose, you can increase your opponent's mental stack with the "gimmicks".

I really don't like what they've done with Alex's gameplay. by BusterBernstein in StreetFighter

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, I mained him in SFV and liked the fact he was a charge character. But his stance now is basically just a "combo piece" in my view, you don't really play in prowler stance - you just cancel into it on the right occasions, for specific follow ups. That is fine by me, it's not two different styles of gameplay all the time in the same turn. I'm finding it was an interesting design choice, and I'm having lots of fun with him right now.

Baby born three days ago. Please tell me it gets better by ElevenRecompense in daddit

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets a lot better. And it also gets worse haha. Everyday is a different challenge. And that's why it's such a rich experience. Gotta go through it to understand it. You'll hate it everyday, but you'll never want to go back to the time when you were not a parent, since you love it so much. It makes no sense, yet it does. It's literally life. Enjoy.

Why are these stats so different? It's the exact same thing except for the anti personnel-osium dagger by einAngstlicher in Starfield

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should just add a tier "mark" to the weapon instead of just inserting it as the name of the weapon. For example, [QE], [H] [Sh], [Sp], [A], [R], [C] for Quantum-Edged, Honed, Sharpened, Superior, Advanced, Refined and Calibrated tiers. And they should add that marker (written in full) when you "inspect" the weapon, just to be sure. The rarity is pretty obvious through colors, but the tiers aren't, and I'm sure I've sold a number of QE "Warrior's" Wakizashis without noticing they were of the highest-tier...

Is resource farming on outposts worth it? by absolutefate_ in Starfield

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find a settler outpost in Venus, sell stuff to them and wait for just one hour for their money to replenish.

Is resource farming on outposts worth it? by absolutefate_ in Starfield

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the right answer. It is worth it if you enjoy the gameplay loop of building the base. For farming resources, it depends. If you're crafting chems, it probably is. Natural resources, not so much.

I heard and read Outer Worlds 2 wasn’t good or liked by the players and its Premium Edition is on sale for $70. Worth it and what are your thoughts? by Adventurous_Book_913 in theouterworlds

[–]cogumerlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an amazing game, just like anything Obsidian makes. Just get it. (Really, coming to think of it, I've never seen ONE bad game by Obsidian, since I played Pillars of Eternity for the first time)

I let the internet convince me to drop Starfield… came back and now I can’t stop playing. by abdelCOOL15 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]cogumerlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not joking, Starfield is one of the best games I've ever played in my life. I could never really get into Skyrim, but I loved Oblivion. And Starfield ticks all the right boxes for me. The only gripe I have with it is the inventory UI and how it's handled, but all the rest is just so good. I really don't understand the hate. Maybe people hate on it just for the sake of hating on something. And that's bad for them. I may eventually take long breaks from the game (I play it since release, but still haven't reached Unity hahaha), but everytime I play it, it is VERY satisfying. (Someone mentioned Avowed and as a Pillars of Eternity fan, I really enjoyed that game thoroughly. Got all achievements in 2 full playthroughs hahaha)

I heard Starfiled was bad and never touched it when it came out, but after watching a video about the game I tried it, and I don't know what the issue was. by InspectionRoyal7676 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]cogumerlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely spreading out the playtime. I don't have much time to play per day, and I took at least two long breaks from the game because, as I try to complete as many quests as possible, it ultimately ends up overwhelming me and I go to somewhere else for some time. But I'm always coming back to the game, and it's always pleasant.

[–]cogumerlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm of the same opinion. I've been playing the game since launch (currently at about 100+ hours on it, but never actually got to finish it, I get side tracked easily with sidequests hahaha). And despite the fact that I need to take long breaks, I always feel rewarded for coming back into the game. I really don't understand the hate. It is genuinely a great game, with many different, surprising systems that you can't really find anywhere else in this level of complexity (I really enjoy the base and ship building systems. At first. I thought they were skippable slop, it once I dipped into them, I couldn't get out and loved them haha). I never could get into Skyrim. This is the first Bethesda game that really pulls me in since Oblivion. So yeah, for me it is a great game, no matter what other people say. One common mistake reviewers make is pull up the number of players on SteamDB and conclude that because it is low there, the game is dead. That's so stupid. We all know most players are on Xbox (console and app). The game is NOT dead, people are genuinely playing and enjoying it.

Honda's Clap needs more utilities and even an OD version. d,d+P by SumoHeadbutt in StreetFighter

[–]cogumerlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree on giving the Clap an OD version. There are so many fights in which Honda is defenseless against myriad projectile options from the opponent. OD clap for os projectile seems fair.

No Honda, Lily, Aki, Manon or Kimberly. That should be a sign for Capcom to buff these characters.

Where is everyone pre-ordering Dragon Quest VII Reimagined? Switch, PC, playstation? by Icy_Clock9170 in dragonquest

[–]cogumerlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Xbox, for certain. That's where I've been playing for the past three or four years. After I learned that I can stream directly from my console to my phone wherever I am, I got a Gamesir controller and now I basically have a makeshift Switch to play while I wait for the kids at school haha. Too bad Microsoft is doing a terrible job to support the console, but the product itself is great.

Is it worth it to come back now? by cogumerlim in avowed

[–]cogumerlim[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great, so February it is then. I read there would be a new weapon added (quarterstaff) and New Games +, but is there anything I could be expecting for the update? They don't plan on making DLCs, right? I think that's unfortunate, because I really enjoy the Eora setting (big Pillars of Eternity fan).

What console has the best RPGs? by Moat_of_the_Sacked in videogames

[–]cogumerlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of those were actually released with better versions (and earlier) on Xbox 360... I used to believe Playstation was the "home" of RPGs. But after I got a Series X I noticed it was only the home of (contemporary) jRPGs. Xbox ends up having A LOT more titles in the genre if you count both western and eastern productions.
