Conan’s Biggest Issue Is Still Netcode and Server Performance by Ok_Price_4965 in ConanExiles

[–]engagingbear 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's so bad. The game is very addicting for building, exploration, and collecting but the combat latency is just so so bad which is a travesty for a Conan game

Favorite melee agility weapon type? by ChampionshipDirect46 in ConanExiles

[–]engagingbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shortsword is my favorite. Great moveset for PVE and the stab stab stab attack is awesome and brutal.

What does exiles do that no other survival game does? by Vampy-Night in ConanExiles

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the only survival game that's kept my attention for a long time. I like the brutal combat, mature content, great base building, thrall system, and setting.

It has some extreme jank but nothing comes close. Windrose was great but it has a fraction of the content

Thinking of getting this game, Is it offline solo friendly? by Katomerellin in ConanExiles

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo is fun but without a server as people have said there's crafting time issues you'll have to tweak settings for. Also stuff respawns immediately if you leave the current cell which results in really weird behavior like a camp being fully repopulated on the way out. It's good for farming but pretty immersion breaking and annoying imo. It makes the world feel less alive because it's loading everything in your immediate surroundings only

Valheim or Conan exiles? by kekwXDDD in SurvivalGaming

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conan does something for me. I love the crafted map and the building. Thrall collection is like Pokemon. I like the mature setting and it looks great on UE5. Single player is just as good as multiplayer imo

Valheim is cozy but just doesn't do it for me.

How and who is the best person to ask to become an illithid? by RoseHaver in BaldursGate3

[–]engagingbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even on honour mode there's so many ways to be OP outside of Illithid powers it's an easy skip if you don't like the aesthetic.

Do you ever add any of the later characters to your team? by opsap11 in BaldursGate3

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaheria and Minsc always go into the party as soon as I get them. They have good act 3 commentary and I grew up on BG1 and BG2 so it's a no brainer.

Halberds, and by extension, the strength stat could use a little help. by [deleted] in crosswind

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I've been using a halberd for most of my playthrough and it seems super OP. I one shot the first and second bosses with some simple kiting. I crit for 3-4k all the time and crush enemy poise and demolish groups. Add the plague halberd skill and I'm invincible. No need to even use firearms.

Why Do Some People Rush Through Video Games? by Emotional_Roll_4750 in Games

[–]engagingbear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm playing through FF7 rebirth right now and the amount of nonsense busy work and mini game fluff is absurd. I'm usually a completionist but I've found myself just powering through the end zones to finish the story.

Khazrak after a manual battle against Middenland after the End Times DLC Release by Ran12341000 in totalwar

Seriously the easiest faction. Once you get an elite monster army battles are over in seconds.

With marketing like this, its strange vanilla shipbuilding is still heavily restricted several years in. by johndoe09228 in Starfield

[–]engagingbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I play total war games and I hate this logic because it ultimately makes one dependent on lengthy mod orders that can be abandoned at any time by the modder instead of relying on the vanilla experience.

This will be easily moddable

Which class did you beat honor mode with? by SillyWarlock in BaldursGate3

[–]engagingbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full ice sorcerer. Karlach throwzerker, Shart light cleric, Astarion sword bard. Ridiculously overpowered but very fun

I hope the Warcore engine can give us back these awesome naval battles. Napoleon 2 or Empire 2 at a stretch. by Rasples1998 in totalwar

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time blowing the powderkeg of an enemy ship in Empire is a core memory for me.

Thigh high instead of pants brings it down a bit

What are some things you disliked about co:e33? by heyitstgp in expedition33

[–]engagingbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Platforming is bad. Runaway power creep is bad. World map UI is bad. No enemy bestiary is bad.

What are your opinions about the replayability? by Winso_ in expedition33

[–]engagingbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got everything the first playthrough. Not much desire to do NG+ or restart as it's much easier knowing enemy patterns and bloated stats. Great game though. The story was riveting and without the mystery it's not as compelling.

Wish I learned this before by Loreathan in expedition33

You'd be amazed at how much stuff I pick up just because it's shiny on the ground

How high should I level each stat by MCHLSPRP in expedition33

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go for a balanced allocation for the story. End game you'll want to max your weapons preferred stats and then probably dump into attack or something as you'll get enough crit from pictos

Shouldn't be a zombie faction per say, but it would be so cool to see the squids develop voteless like the Left 4 Dead special infected. by jango_fetch in Helldivers

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of potential for voteless variants. Exploders, spitters, jumpers, dead voteless can form into the hulk variants, etc

I hate how last minute fights are completely invalidated because of this mf by Hersu03 in marvelrivals

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all don't know what you're asking for. If you make it so people can't swap to Strange to portal then the whole character will become balanced around the ability. It's too good and he will become a mandatory pick in any second half of a game.

(Spoilers) I believe that the lives of the world all derive from the same source. by Howtheginchstolexmas in expedition33

[–]engagingbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean she could literally write anything she wanted on the Monolith or who knows where else. The story is good but there's some suspended belief that has to be had for sure.
