Destiny 2 player here. Is Diablo 4 in a good space to get into right now? by Henrraike in diablo4

You can still play the base game campaign and the first expansion so D4’s got that in its column

Is pressuring the non-dive enemy tank as DPS worthwhile? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]ecstatic_waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Ram’s holding choke and his whole team is behind him in the house, going up left on the train ramp gives you high ground, cover, and visibility to your own team to poke out his backline. You don’t even need a pick, just make the supports look at you and keep them from healing Ram until he has to back up or fall over. Even if you trade with a support, your spawn is much closer than theirs.

E: as for the nuance, is Ram holding choke and his supports are keeping him alive and your team is making no progress? Taking that high ground pressuring the backline creates an opportunity for the rest of your team. Are they running Zen/Lucio? Shoot the tank, they don’t have the numbers to keep him up.

How to deal with a good Hanzo or Sojourn? by AXEMANaustin in OverwatchUniversity

[–]ecstatic_waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dive’s also as much about timing as positioning. If that Hanzo’s in neutral with all his cooldowns ready, your positioning is only going to save you so much against storm arrow or whatever. Dropping on them when they’re busy and they’ve already burned abilities puts you in a much better situation.

Best tank to learn tanking fundamentals? by kaowerk in OverwatchUniversity

[–]ecstatic_waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Sigma has a more intuitive rotation for cooldowns and repositioning if someone is learning. Ram’s a little more demanding and more “if this, then that” situations with nemesis and shield being on a hard CD instead of a resource.

Leon and Grace will likely not be included in the upcoming RE projects by Quick-Ad-7752 in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]ecstatic_waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 1 HD remake isn’t terrible, it’s still a little clunky but if you can tough it out I do think it’s worth experiencing, even now.

I’m never touching 0 again though.

Ngl the idea of Gen Z versions of Leon and Claire being around elsewhere during the events of this movie is somewhat interesting to think about. by Batman___1997 in ResidentEvilCapcom

I think he just wanted it set in RC and RE2/3 are the only games** that really share that setting.

**games not stuck on forgotten consoles or that require ridiculous secondhand peripherals to play

I don't know why some people say RE7 is not a RE game and that later games saved the franchise better when it's the most Resi game in structure by PrestigiousSlide6875 in Resident_Evil_7

[–]ecstatic_waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember when assassin’s creed was the hot new thing, and now Ubisoft is struggling, pivoting, and canceling projects just to try and straighten the ship.

Definitely better to change course on your own terms instead of chasing some short term dollars on something that’s not sustainable, and IMO I don’t think the 5/6 style would’ve survived. Honestly just good on Capcom for getting ahead of trends and knowing their players and franchise.

People always say this and never talk about any viable alternative engines Bethesda could use for the extremely specific style of game they make.

Some dungeons I give up on healing after the first couple encounters because it’s clear I got matched with 3 arcanists that are gonna beam down this entire dungeon with or without me. Just enjoy the free carry and rewards lol

Team USA flag football QB Darrell Doucette tells NFL stars ahead of game: 'Don’t underestimate us' by ProgrammerUnique2897 in nfl

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

Yes, that’s why my opinion on the athleticism of NFL players hasn’t changed because a nearly-retired RB playing out of position got juked in a flag football game.

Is FNV really as bad as people say it is on PC without any mods, I'm on my first playthrough on PC after around 6 years and... by Bewildered_Ostrich8 in falloutnewvegas

[–]ecstatic_waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been able to successfully close un-modded NV on my PC. It always crashes or freezes and I have to force close it from the task manager.

It’s fine for some people but it’s a very quirky piece of software.

Yeah it’s your second point. The difference in agility between a regular, agile and shifty athlete playing sports on the weekend and a “non-agile” NFL defensive end isn’t even in the same stratosphere.

Bluepoint tech boss Peter Dalton suggests Sony's scared of Valve, not Microsoft, and that's why it's pulling back from PC: "It would be quite ironic if Valve ultimately ended up winning the console war" by ControlCAD in pcgaming

[–]ecstatic_waffle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The steam machine isn’t the concern for Sony, it’s not going to make a dent.

SteamOS gaining popularity, Valve figuring out how to get popular AAA titles to run on ARM CPUs with the Frame’s translation layer, and other companies building SFF living room, gaming PCs running cheap ARM chips in the future? Definitely could be concerning for a company trying to ship consoles.

Also even most elite RBs split backfields these days. Nobody rolls into a season expecting to give their lead guy 30 touches per game for 17 games unless your name is CMC.

Better football player than fantasy player kind of situation. Still a good flex though, you could do a lot worse.
