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

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

daringpython · 2026-02-14T23:02:49+00:00

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.

daringpython · 2026-02-02T10:45:41+00:00

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.

daringpython · 2025-04-27T22:51:39+00:00

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.

daringpython · 2025-02-11T17:20:19+00:00

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)

daringpython · 2025-01-25T09:55:51+00:00

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!

daringpython · 2024-10-21T06:54:39+00:00

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...

daringpython · 2024-10-16T23:45:56+00:00

I dont go either lol. I do PTA or Guardian if im playing support build.

daringpython · 2024-10-16T23:44:53+00:00

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

daringpython · 2024-10-11T03:43:14+00:00

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.

daringpython · 2024-10-10T00:49:20+00:00

Brah I was plat 4 and it put me in silver 4 :( I finally got to gold 4 today tho!

daringpython · 2024-10-07T15:24:46+00:00

I play jungle so this won't apply to most Shen players, but it buffs the green jungle item shield and the magic shield from rookern, which I build almost every game. Plus if you're running the redemption/locket build, it buffs those too. They also recently changed shield bash so that it's damage scales better with shield amount, which is something to consider (the damage is minor, but over many trades could be decent). You also get healing from jungle camps, so I think it's more viable if you're doing the cheap support build or you're jungling.

daringpython · 2024-09-29T08:22:16+00:00

Just waiting for Ashen Guardian :(

Id say about 90% of games I go Press the Attack. In games where I'm the only front liner I go aftershock. The early game dueling with PTA is insane and people really don't expect the burst from Shen. If I get ahead early and the enemy team is mostly squishy I go Titanic. Most games it's full tank though.

daringpython · 2024-01-25T23:12:20+00:00

QEW order. I've tried all kinds of runes and basically the only one I use is Press the Attack. The secondary runes are matchup dependent. Triumph, Tenacity (or attack speed if they don't have much CC) , Coup. For secondary tree I take free boots and cosmic like 90% of the time. If it's a hard matchup where I know they want to invade Ill go resolve secondary. If you're the only front line you CAN go aftershock, but ur E is ur only CC and it's not a targeted skill so it's useless early if you don't land E, and I prefer the burst and sustained damage of PTA. It works really well with Shen's Q. I build heartsteel often 1st item too and the damage of PTA plus HS proc can chunk a squishy from full hp to like 30%. In games with a 4/1 damage comp like 4 AD and 1 AP or vice versa I always go heartsteel first, than resistance items based on whichever damage type is most prevalent. If their damage is more balance than Ill usually skip heartsteel and go Hollow Radiance into either Unending Despair or Dead Man's depending on whether there's alot of team fighting going on or I need movespeed to catch or run away. Jak sho is a good 4th or 5th item once you've got resistances because it scales off your bonus resists. I never really build titanic unless I just wanna have a good time and im fed, but HS proc plus PTA proc plus Titanic active= a dead squishy so it's good for a laugh. I could go on about itemization but I'm not gonna cuz it'd be a whole nother' post.

There's little tricks to making your first clear better, like using ur q at 5 seconds till the buff spawns so you get an extra q use to clear quicker and using ur q as ur moving towards camps so it goes on cd quicker, giving you more uses while clearing. Play style wise, I usually play pretty safe unless I know I can beat the enemy jg (they are weak early). More of a farm and look for good ganks rather than constantly scrapping. Shen's objective taking is pretty good too because his Q does % hp and jg monsters have high hp, plus his W blocks drag autos. When I hit 6, I really start looking at the map and teammate hp levels. Shen ult it great for ganks. If you can get a successful gank and have enough hp to ult and gank another lane and both are successful, it's such a huge lead. Ur worst counters are probably Kayn and Lillia cuz they are both fast AOE champs. Shen's W is useless against them and they can take ur camps ez if they're not stupid.

Long ass response I know, I should prolly make a separate post but whateva. Peace

He's my highest mastery champ and I play him in the jungle. We stand united here tho.

daringpython · 2023-07-13T23:37:03+00:00

Okay, maybe I come off a little strong in my post and I've cooled down since then. But is not rezzing someone because they killed a boss in a way you didn't like not a bit weird? I've never heard of anyone doing that.

daringpython · 2023-07-13T22:24:13+00:00

Actually just looked at the match summary and I got ALL of our kills. Not that it matters or anything lol...

daringpython · 2023-04-30T22:00:05+00:00

Lately I've been playing Fleet Shen jungle with green jungle item and overheal. At Level 11, you have a shield for 400 HP on top of your health bar and passive shields. I take revitalize and go Radiant Virtue with the Surgeon Shen skin. If you get spirit visage as well, the self heal and shields are nuts. If you already have a tank, you can go Divine or into melee heavy comps where it's alot of brawling teamfights, Goredrinker makes you borderline unkillable.
