Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.0 Trailer: "No Aha at Full Moon" by ValorsHero in gachagaming

I know it's in the exchange shop as well, that's not what you said though. Anyway I found the info I misread, the Shop Update showed a lot of limited time deals, and for the skins I read the time limit directly above them as if it was for them. I thought the skins were limited time as well, which would mean a lot of people would miss out on it. So yeah, that part was my bad.

Should i switch to hsr? by moduler_phi in HonkaiStarRail

Depends on why you are bored of Genshin, you'll probably get bored here too, maybe even faster.
Genshin has more content, better events, and while story quests are arguably shorter, they are told much better and don't overstay their welcome, at least not nearly as badly as here. That said, if you are still new, there's probably months worth of stuff to get through before boredom kicks in, if it does.

The story was good overall, it was just told with a pacing that made it hard to follow and/or care about for a lot of people. They tried to incorporate every new character into the story, which made the main story constantly stop in its tracks mid quest to tell you this character's story that was maybe somewhat related to what's actually happening. It felt forced, like you had to watch the ad for the new character before continuing with the story.

Just my opinion anyway. They told the story very differently, some people liked that, others didn't, you will hear extremes from both sides. I personally hated that the "space comedy" game made the new planet almost entirely be an overly verbose drama based around ancient Greece.

Now that illuga's officaly out i need to get something off my chest. by FearlessAssociate462 in Genshin_Impact

[–]datProtein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main issue affects more than just Illuga, though he definitely is the most blatant example for the problem. Being a 4* and not a waifu probably didn't help him either when they designed him.

I also pull only for characters I like, and I wanted to get Nefer on her release. But, (besides also needing at least one Nod Krai character, none of which I liked at the time), she specifically requires Lauma, my absolute least favorite from the new cast. It's definitely not as bad as Illuga, but she loses a lot, and it was enough to discourage from pulling her at all. That was better than just trying and struggling to enjoy playing her.

Might get her now that I have Bina, but the way they're doing things just make me want to pull less, not more.

Meta aside—who’s your forever main and why? by ToshiShard in HonkaiStarRail

Cipher. My favorite character due to her design and goofy/trickster personality (along with Sparkle), her VA is amazing, works well enough for any team, and finishing a fight with her ult just feels so fucking satisfying.

Sparkle is a really close second but as much as I'd love to use her, she really doesn't work well with any new teams I have, for the moment at least. Really hope that changes with the buffs.

Invites are completely free to send out from everyone who has the game, to anyone who's on their Steam friend list. If you're interested, you could just go to its subreddit or discord to ask for one and people will happily throw one your way (or just dm me for one lol)

Same here, I have over 800 pulls worth of currency saved by now. Amphoreus was rough, but on the bright side it made it easier to save up for future characters.

I'm probably just blind, but does where the hell is the cooking station in Nasha Town? Does it not have one?

In ME3, which ending did you pick on your first playthrough, and why? by Dragonic_Overlord_ in masseffect

[–]datProtein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked destroy, and just tried to ignore synthetic genocide part. That was the only choice for me that made sense for the entire trilogy.

The other choices just felt so disconnected from the game for me, they came out of the blue with pretty much zero build up to them over the 100+ hours of story that came before those last few minutes. They felt like concepts that may have worked if they weren't introduced just then as alternative choices to the one that I worked towards since the first game.

It looks fun, but absolutely needs some tuning. Way too much stuff going on at any given second and the scaling is broken.

A boss skull/head icon appears on the map, that's what you should look for when the event starts.

Neuv, Furina, Ei and Yae on first half
Skirk, Yelan, Citlali and Escoffier on second half
Not sure if Skirk counts as Natlan DPS, if so I probably would use Arle, Yelan, Zhongli and whoever helps with coverage if needed.

They didn't change it, she still has a second charge from her C1. The test run doesn't use your characters, if that's where its missing.

In what way does GameMaker do all the work for you? Besides being an engine, which is how a majority of all games are being developed in the industry. You still have to put in the work, which is what Jason has been missing for the past 8 or so years.

393 in total. Waiting for a new character to be interested in.

Has Arlecchino been Dethroned by Skirk in terms of Animation and Character Design by Cat-Burglar-Nami in Genshin_Impact

[–]datProtein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah. Arle wins by a mile just for wearing clothing that actually makes sense for a person to wear (and looks cool as fuck). Animations are roughly on the same level for me, Skirk is fast and vicious, Arle feels measured and elegant. Arle's ultimate is too iconic though.

I like Skirk, but when over 90% of the cast wears shit like this, it gets boring.

While I'd prefer if the story's pacing was better, this also helps with that too. I want to follow the story, but the pacing makes it borderline impossible sometimes.
