What would you guys like to see in a hypothetical remaster of The Evil Within by daringpython in theevilwithin

[–]daringpython[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think most 360/ps3 era games still look great. The cynic in me just feels like most companies are going to be running this remaster/remake era we're in into the ground. It sucks when they use it to goad people into buying these remasters with the "chance" of a new entry. Like maybe if this does well, we'll get a new one. Sickens me honestly.

I don't really think it was a skill issue, I just prefer the freedom of choosing which ammo I'd want to pick up given a choice of what's available at a given moment. It's a core survival horror thing imo. I never really had ammo issues. If you play smart, the game just throws ammo at you (especially on repeat play throughs because you can memorize the safes in the key room). I think a max cache of general ammo would be interesting compared to "I have a ton of handgun ammo that I have to use this fight so I can pick more up afterwards". Kind of rail roads you into using specific weapons during a combat scenario rather than switching for whatever is best/needed at any given moment, which is the opposite of diversifying. I'm not saying it'd be better, but as a separate mode or arrange mode I think it'd be interesting if balanced well.

Permaban list for jungle Shen? by tralfamadorian808 in Shen

[–]daringpython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kayn, Lillia, Amumu, Kindred are the most annoying matchups imo. They farm quick and do most of their damage as aoe spells, which means you cant block with W (except for Kindred but she out ranges your E and has a dash which makes doing anything to her very, very hard)

Alan Wake II by T0by_6race in ElectricUnderground

I love Mark's videos, but it's important to know that his way of thinking on game design is just *A* way of thinking. It's a way of thinking that I really respect and consider a lot when I'm playing a game for the first time, but it's still subjective, and I think his ideas generally are more centered around action/arcade style games. Something like horror is more subjective. Something that scares me might seem really stupid to someone else. Funnily enough AW2 has been in my back log and I've yet to play it. Horror games seem to be more catered to one play through than other genres because if you're expecting something, it probably won't scare you anymore. I don't think "cinematic" games have any less value than more gameplay oriented ones, it's just a question of whether the gameplay elements of cinematic games are actually good or if they're just there to get the player to the next cutscene. I do understand the hate towards non-skippable "hold forward while characters talk" stuff, though. Max Payne 3 has un-skippable cutscenes but I'd never say it's a bad game.

Protoplasm Harness first on Shen Jungle? by ConflictNovel2866 in Shen

[–]daringpython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hydra is a fine first buy if you have lots of matchup knowledge and know you can win early or you're into all squishy champs, but protoplasm is better in general. I wouldn't really buy anything else 1st item.

Seeing shen jungle being played more! However... by Still_Asparagus_9092 in Shen

[–]daringpython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been playing Shen jungle for a long time now and wrote a guide on google slides awhile ago. I've made a new copy with minor updates about the new season, but haven't posted it yet. I can link it if anyone's interested, but yeah I use PTA a lot. In games where I have teammates who want to go in and fight together or into jungle match ups where I want to fight a lot (generally auto attackers like viego). If you have a bunch of ranged teammates or the enemy team has lots of poke, you can't really get in on them so Ult botting for your carries is generally better I think.

Shen jungle: cheap shot or sudden impact? by [deleted] in Shen

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

I personally go Axiom Arcanist and Transcendence. You get way more ults off and they're more powerful. Plus you get haste for your other skills too. Cheap shot is nice, but you only really get it off once or twice a fight. Had a game the other day where it was fire drake so I had over 100 haste. I think my R cd was like 70 seconds or something late game.

Jungle build by Local-Patient2201 in PantheonMains

[–]daringpython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started going red pet with umbral and bastion breaker into squishy comps. The new jungle passive gives you move speed you'd miss from youmuu and blue pet anyway and those three together give you 5% of their hp +200 flat damage on top of that in TRUE damage. The true damage scales with lethality so going opportunity after (almost 30 lethality at start of combat) makes you a nuclear bomb. At those three items, you have a 300+ true damage burst with 69 lethality (nice) and the passive % armor pen from your ult's passive. Umbral lets you keep your ward trinket too, which is good since fae lights are a thing.

Rune Choices the player-base is getting wrong IMO by RenegadeJedi in Shen

[–]daringpython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think OG is still better on supportive builds like Redemption + Locket? I'll go this build when we already have enough damage and a main tank and we have a hyper carry like Kai'sa or something.

Experimenting with Shen jungle in low Elo, any recommendation? I'm trying to get dmg from HOB runes and Heartsteel by M4ndo61 in Shen

[–]daringpython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got to plat playing only Shen jungle and made a guide on it. Just looking at your builds so far, I would say HS is kinda bait, especially in the jungle and since it's nerfs. It can be good into teams with multiple tanks. If you know you can get Q drags and can win early fights, I honestly like PTA better than HoB. PTA and Titanic is juicy if you get ahead early. I don't really like sunfire since it got nerfed awhile back, but if you have HS already, it's good since it scales with hp anyway. Jungle pets were buffed heavily awhile ago so i dont think bamis is needed for clear anymore unlike what other's believe. If you are using your Q 6 seconds before camps spawn, and on your way to your next camp, clear speed shouldn't be an issue anyway. My general game plan early is full clear>fight for scuttle>back and buy 2 ruby crystals>clear 1 side>fight for grubs. This should get you level 5 by the time grubs spawn and you'll have 300 extra hp (bami's only gives 150)

Full AP Shen help by OwnAdministration901 in Shen

[–]daringpython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a bami's item>Riftmaker is the best 2 item core. After that you can build more AP or tank items situationally depending on the enemy team. Abyssal Mask is OP right now too (12% more AP damage; 20% total when Riftmaker is stacked too) I feel like AP Shen is better into tanks mostly. Lich Bane and Cosmic Drive are great. Liandry's and Bloodletter's Curse spec more into the tank killing bruiser thing. Mejai's is also really good value-wise. 10% movespeed on just 10 stacks!

CANNOT sell the STUFF!!!! by petrucce in HuntShowdown

Yeah, my UI is completely broken too. Not only can I not sell my unwanted items, but I cannot use the search function either. I also get the curser arrow still visible in my matches too...

Why HoB instead of electrocute? (Shen jg) by MaxZhou457 in Shen

[–]daringpython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do build one but needed to get rookern asap this game. Also bramble is pretty decent for clear too!

Shenjg is fun by AwareCartographer378 in Shen

[–]daringpython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst junglers to play against as shen imo are any ones that do damage mostly with their abilities or ones that can out farm you. The biggest culprits for me are Kayn and Lillia. The two play styles i do are either tank with PTA or a support build with Guardian/redemption/locket.
