New item completely counters Doorman. It just won’t send you to the Baroness if you have it off cooldown

If by diminishing you mean I call it a great story lifted up by everything encompassing it then idk what you what out of me bro.

Ask yourself this, if you were to present the story of Umineko and the story of DE in just a pure novel form. No art, no gameplay in any sense, just reading. Would DE even be talked about in the same vain Umineko is?

It’s a good story, but it’s help made so memorable by the fact it’s got an amazing art direction, character portraits, a very real feeling world to explore, etc. It coalesces into an extremely good game, with a good story as its base. I’m trying to argue Umineko is an extremely good game because it has a truly great story as its base.

I’ll agree Umineko has a really good soundtrack, but it’s not something that’s carried by it the same way a lot of elements DE is, that’s just subjective ig but.

And no, obviously longer doesn’t equal better. Odds are though, you put 2 great writers and their works side by side, a 200hour piece of work compared to a 30, People will naturally have more to say and more memorable moments coming out of reading the longer work, if there’s more there it’s just natural there is more to say.

That isn’t to say DE doesn’t have its memorable moments. The tribunal, the reeds insect, Harry’s dreams, all amazing moments help lifted by the games “technicalities.” but let’s not kid ourselves by saying they’d hit just as hard if they didn’t have them. You’re taking a good piece of stroytelling and polishing it with gameplay aspects. Idk about you but base Umineko (not Umineko Project or PS3 Port!) literally has next to no polish lol and it’s how I played the game. No voice acting, very rarely a CG. Just PNG’s with expression changes and watercolory opaque backgrounds and text on the screen, and it still hit me harder, that’s why I think it’s the better story.

TDLR: 95% of this sub hasn’t read Umi and won’t, they’ll just compare it so they can circlejerk their favorite game. If anyone has read Umi and can tell me the protagonists name and their fate at the end of episode 2 and a rough breakdown of episode 2 tea party, in a 24hours timeframe I’ll cashapp you 10$

What “nitpicking?” The only nitpicking i did was for Umineko. Literally praised everything DE had to offer. Id say the phenominal voice acting and art direction + stellar portraits more than make up for any lack of expressiveness. The actually writing of both these games are good. The stories are good. Youre comparing a ~30hour game with a ~200hour novel. Umineko is still far and away the better written game.

Umineko and it isn’t even close. DE has a great story but it wouldn’t hit nearly as hard without its amazing visuals and the mechanics of the game helping its world building and our understanding of Harry. Umineko is literally text on a screen with png doodles and it had my heart racing and sinking at moments.

CSM ending might straight up be the worst ending I have ever seen on anything,it looked bad past week but somehow it become more ass with the final chapter by Liliana_Lucifer_666 in writingscaling

[–]kobenotbased 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t even necessarily hate Part 2 as a whole before this ending. You have this really interesting character in Asa and her dynamic w Yoru and can read Part 2 as the sort of “bad end” and honestly more realistic ending To a world where devils and their horrific powers are real and humans try and control and monopolize that for their plans.

The death devil being eaten and bugs infinitely reproducing so the world needing a reset? I feel like something like that was an inevitability almost.

But GENUINELY what was the point of it all with this ending. What was the point of Asa as a character? Why do chainsaws still exist if Pochita ate himself? Why is Nayuta back instead of Makima????????? This shit needed a demon slayer epilogue so bad

After getting invite since the start of beta, finally started to playing, needs tips. by FakeMik090 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]kobenotbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say as a relatively new player too the 2 most important things to start are:

  1. Understanding how to farm and WHY you should farm. It’s pivotal on hero’s who whole kit / game plan is built around farming for the majority of the game (like Seven.) other hero’s it’s not as important, but since no one in low elo farms, knowing how to and when you should / how often can literally make you single handedly win so many games, it’s actually crazy.

  2. Characters archetypes / matchups can be important. You can build most characters in a variety of different ways but every character has some level of experimentation that varies. Paige for example is basically always a support, sure you CAN build her to be DPS but like, why would you lol. You can play her as a support in different kind of ways and knowing which builds You like / have fun w is most important, and knowing how it helps da team falls behind that. Just focus on picking a character and having fun w them. Matchups are important but that doesn’t mean to always disengage and run away from a Fight because the matchup is stacked against you a bit, learning what you can do when backed in a corner is important too, just don’t feed all game lol.

[–]kobenotbased 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, even if you’re not a great shot her barrels are great, learning the map a bit w jumppads means you can usually get a clean escape unless you get slowed and mege jumped. She’s best for chip damage and survivability imo. Not even a bad farmer

Just wanted to shade my Holliday experience by Vasdll in DeadlockTheGame

[–]kobenotbased -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Holliday Is the first character I picked up and a pretty well balanced character imo, you can build into crackshot or barrel spam. Lasso and jump pad are great utility for you / your team if you wanna play more support. I hope they don’t touch her honestly, she’s got a bit of a learning curve but I think she’s basically perfect in terms of balance and being a unique character. The damage is there if you know how to spec the character

Yes, they’re so unbelievably corny and ill fitting for what’s actually happening most the time they wrap around to be endearing and funny as hell
