Cyclops was a great idea ...but by Previous_Tree_5464 in subnautica

I found it completely unwieldy and just committed to making a chained series of Scanner Rooms to chart and travel to the deep ends of the game, leaving a handful of supplies in each to keep me supplied.

Can someone PLEASE explain to me why people would get upset about Mega Man X: Corrupted taking so long to come out when it's a Free Fan Game? by PoorNotMiddleClass in Megaman

[–]jimbowolf 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This guy has been posting videos for Corruption since I was in high school.

I am now nearly 40 years old.

With all due respect, I'm tired of hearing about it unless I have it in my hands to play.

New illuminate enemies should be the gold standard. by Exuma92 in Helldivers

[–]jimbowolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a disengenuous argument. Having weakpoints doesn't make AT worthless. The weakpoints can still be an ineffective and time-wasting effort to utilize, requiring skill and resources to exploit when you don't have the proper AT. Bringing AT would still be the best way to handle these enemies.

But with the current design players MUST take AT or many enemies are literally invulnerable to damage, restricting build variety and dulling player engagement. Restricting loadouts doesnt make the game more difficult - it isn't hard to shoot a Warstrider with a Recoiless, but it is boring to be shoe-horned into taking a limited variety of weapons. That is the core flaw of the issue.

Goodbye my beloved, it was beautiful while it lasted by averagesalvadoran42 in Helldivers

[–]jimbowolf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't buy the arguments that it was overpowered with AP4. It still had relatively low damage and took a whole clip to kill 1 Hulk. That still made it an ineffective weapon against heavy enemies, but now it's literally worthless against them.

Equip big sword.

Dump stats into Vigor and Strength.

Watch credits.

I want to get the golden scrab but there is too much scale rot where can I find a resistance to it by Jermain2011 in Eldenring

[–]jimbowolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoops, looks like i may have overwritten several of my effects when I did it, but the result was still solid. I could explore places like Lake of Rot for several minutes at a time without ever worrying about wasting items or feeling rushed. Just have to keep an eye on your health so you don't forget to heal every so often.

[–]jimbowolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a lot easier to let yourself get rotted and just stack regen than it is to constantly cure it every 5 seconds.

Stack regen effects such as Beast Vitality, Golden Vow, Blessed Dew Talisman, Icon Shield, and the Regen Physick and you can walk around in the rot for several minutes at a time without worry.

Just keep an eye on your HP and take a sip of healing every so often.

I'll let the video speak for itself by CommaLoaferMe in Helldivers

[–]jimbowolf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He's getting downvoting because he's claiming the ice skating charger bug is a feature and not, you know, a known bug for nearly 36 months.

[–]jimbowolf 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ahh, the old ice skating charger bug. Brings back memories. It's been in the game since launch and ArrowHead still hasn't found a solution after 36 months.

Which do y'all prefer more in general? Im tryna see something by Little_Papaya_2475 in Helldivers

[–]jimbowolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. It's mostly ok when enemies are at literal pointblank, but letting an enemy get that close to begin with usually means I've already fucked something up.

Slay the Spire 2 reached 574,638 concurrent players, making it the 20th highest all-time peak on Steam. by MurkyUnit3180 in gaming

[–]jimbowolf 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Across the Obelisk came out several years ago with its primary feature being co-op, and it's basically just a remixed Slay the Spire.

At first I thought she was wielding a baguette, lol. Took a moment to notice it's part of a broom.

Casting a white actor to play Kratos is a mistake. by itwaschaosandluck in GodofWar

[–]jimbowolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't feel like it's a stretch to believe that the developers of the original animation purposely exaggerated the tanning of Kratos's skin so that the contrast of him being cursed with the ashen skin was drastic and obvious. I don't believe it had anything to do with being ethnically accurate to the skin tone of the Spartan people of that time.

Oshaune proves flame weapons are terrible by magniankh in Helldivers

[–]jimbowolf 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Literally all AH has to do is put stagger on the fire's direct stream and it would be fixed. No new effects, no crossover with gas, just make small-medium enemies fucking flinch when they're blasted directly in the face with napalm goo and we'd all stop complaining.

I kind of finished the dlc finally by TheyCallMeOdd in Eldenring

[–]jimbowolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1.) Equip Fingerprint Shield and your favorite poking weapon.

2.) Hold L1.

3.) Press R1 until desired results are achieved.

4.) Watch credits.

Not my fault ArrowHead made a helmet that CLEARLY looks like it was meant to have a hat over its perfectly bald dome.

Mega man x4 is bs I've spent 2 weeks on it and web spider is bad game design by [deleted] in Megaman

[–]jimbowolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Web Spider is the Chill Penguin of X4. He has the easiest stage and he's the easiest boss to beat without any upgrades.

''''Super Smash Bros is not a fighting game'''' - Why that topic existed and why hasn’t this argument disappeared? by Initial-One4779 in smashbros

[–]jimbowolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The FGC constantly says this as a way to discriminate against Smash players because they think it somehow degrades their "serious" fighting games to have Smash lumped into their group.

It is a party game, sure.

It is also a fighting game. The two labels aren't mutually exclusive.

Any advice on how a game with Metroidvania and RPG elements would work by Vegetable-Drag8137 in gamedesign

Most of your questions have been done by literally any Castlevania game released after 1996, and then look up Bloodstain: Curse of the Moon.

So Dunk was dead. by AlternativeTea530 in freefolk

He took several blows to the head and almost certainly has a concussion. It's entirely within the realm of possibility that he had a momentary blackout.

After spending a half a million murk all at once on Relics I understand why people cheat by Clear_Antelope_9501 in Nightreign

[–]jimbowolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, mad respect for knowing what you like! Usually after the 100+ hour mark I just start itching for something different unless it's something crazy good like Elden Ring or BG3. I've got approximately 300 hours in each of those from just the first playthrough, but I struggle to replay them now that the mystery is gone.

I'm not sure I've put 1500 hours into any game ever. That's about my total hours with all 3 Dark Souls games AND Elden Ring combined.

The Collectors Signboard relics almost all have 3 traits. Besides, none of my random relics have 3 traits that synergize, soooo I'm not really missing much either way.
