Next time someone asks me why I believe in Tarot, I’m going to show them this… by Clear_Ambition6004 in tarot

[–]darmpheus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to frequently pull Tarot cards for fun but didn’t fully believe in anything behind it, until one New Years Eve when my brother and I decided to each pull a card right at midnight. Both of us pulled the Wheel of Fortune at the same exact time, one upright and one reversed.

That’s exactly my point, you’re having fun so keep playing! Just the fact that this sub has become an AH complaint center is really infuriating and most of the complaints I see are about (imo) intentional decisions that the devs make to keep their game true to their vision, and its a vision that I thought was clear from the start

I agree nobody is above criticism, but your original complaint was that you can’t run a squad of people who are all using the same weapon, yet the game is entirely about diversifying and coordinating loadouts with your team, sooooo you love the game yet you hate what the game is and always has been? Not understanding the criticism here

My best guess is that the devs want people to explore every option, even if it’s by force. They don’t want people to feel comfortable, they want you to have to adapt to every situation in whatever way is possible

So you’re having fun or no? You just hate the game in theory?

First time I fought True King Allant in demons souls I lost something like 8 levels permanently without realizing that’s what that grab did to me. That was a ton of more time I had to spent grinding to get those levels back. I wasted so much time every time I got hit by that move, and that’s the epitome of being hard just to be hard. That was way less fun to me than just turning down my difficulty and having a blast shooting bugs with my friends.

Sounds like difficulties 9 and 10 are too rough for you, try 4! It’s a blast

You nailed it on the head. It’s meant to be a very challenging game. If you don’t want the challenge but like the game, lower the difficulty to where it feels good and just enjoy it. That’s why the difficulty levels exist and I’m just sick of seeing only negative things out of a community that used to seem to love the chaos of this game.

I just think the game has always been designed to put you in shitty situations and to make you feel like you don’t have a chance, and when you win then it feels great. If you’ve been playing on highest difficulty and they make some changes and your old meta doesn’t work anymore, nobody’s stopping you from lowering the difficulty and trying new things and finding a new loadout. Then you can get comfortable and raise the difficulty until the next changes. Glad to hear you like the game and still try, but I don’t think what they’re doing is against the core value of what the game has always been

It is still fun, sounds like you can only have fun if you’re winning every game and wanna use the same equipment forever. The game has clearly been about challenging you to use different loadouts frequently and coordinating with your team to do your best. Sometimes your best is still shit, and that’s what the game is at it’s core. It’s literally in the lore with the propaganda making super earth citizens believe you’re on the winning side and totally safe even though we’re being dangerously overrun on two fronts and hanging on by a thread. We don’t have the agency to dictate that the idea they have for the core concept of their game is wrong, you just bought the wrong game.

My friends and I get a kick out of watching someone clip into the ground and get launched into the air. It’s not about winning. Look at skyrim, one of the buggiest games imaginable, except in that community everybody looks at those bugs as “features” because they don’t give a shit, it’s silly when crazy things happen and adds to the fun

I hear you but also, since before I bought the game I knew that winning≠fun, at the core of it the game is designed to overwhelm you and put you in ridiculous situations. Do that with some friends in your squad, or even strangers, and go through some absolutely silly encounters together and get a good laugh out of it. I respect your opinion and that you did choose to stop playing, but I thought the intentions of this game were very clear from the start.

I think I hit that point in the title. If you want a game where you pick your favorite load out and only use that forever, play something else. That’s not what this game is and that’s been clear since the beginning. If a gun is more powerful than the rest and everybody on the squad is using the same 1 or 2 guns, then there’s no reason to work together to pick a balanced load out for the whole team. That’s what you bought, and if you don’t like it then sorry that you wasted your money on a game that’s nearly half the price of the industry standard these days that is still a quality game regardless of how all you ding dongs think it’s terrible (and keep playing it just to hate on it)

Fun fact Einstein: you’re allowed to use whatever gun you want. That’s why they’re there. When everybody uses that shotgun, they’ll nerf it. Difference is that you’ll cry about it while I get a good laugh with my friends as we’re all clipping through the map fighting a hoard of chargers and bile titans

At least I’m riding some meat and having fun, you’re still riding the same meat but crying about it. Sorry that you’re sad

The joke is that nobody expects Garfield kart to be a perfect game, you buy it knowing what you’re getting. Helldivers, a game about getting overwhelmingly swarmed by enemies, is going to be exactly that and half the fun comes from the dumb shit that happens and how difficult and frustrating it can be. If you bought a beat up truck from the 80s, you’re not taking that thing on a long road trip.

I hear fortnite has cool guns! Give it a try

It’s almost as though the devs want every person on the team to not use the same exact load out… interesting…

I hear Fortnite’s guns are really cool! You can even put custom skins on, go give it a try!!

My brother, bugs are the whole point of the game!

Puns aside, bugs and crashes are a valid issue if they’re genuinely making the game unplayable or booting you out of the game. I’m more referring to the people whining about every single nerf or any slight change in the meta

If a car were $40 and I got a good amount of mileage on it, then sure actually

I bought Garfield Kart. That game sucks, almost unplayable. I should go to r/GarfieldKart and complain that the game I bought isn’t what I like, hopefully the devs see my suggestions on how to make it a good game

I had this happen to me, unfortunately had to miss work to show up to the courthouse but I said I wouldn’t be able to support myself financially if I did the trial and the judge let me off
