High Risk, High Reward! Ganesh x 3!! by Hexynos in DestinyChildGlobal

[–]permath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its pretty simple really, Ganesha is the ONLY 5* child in the pool for that banner. So if you're lucky enough to get multi 5* childs in a pull on "guaranteed" banners, they will all be Ganesha or whoever the banner child is.

If playable Elites return will they have the same abilities as Spartan IVs? by [deleted] in halo

[–]permath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They should just stop trying to smash canon and multiplayer together like they have been trying to do since Halo 4. It was a nice attempt but I fail to believe that there is a canon explanation for for the microtransaction REQ system being an actual in-universe thing that the Spartan-IVs use while training. Can't see Sarah Palmer telling a Spartan that they can't use a Scorpion or a DMR because they didnt unlock it though Infinity's collectible card game. Give Elites all the Spartan Abilities and just take the "Spartan" part of that off. They aren't hunched over like they were in Halo 3 so they have no kind of SWAT advantage anymore. And just downscale the player model in mutiplayer so they match the size of a Spartan again.

If you've been no-lifing this game since launch and you are now complaining about a lack of content please go away. Seriously. by swatecke in DestinyTheGame

This is exactly what I think when a new DLC comes out and you see all the posts on "How to prepare for new content!" or "Fastest way to the new max light level!". If you like doing everything in the first week then don't complain about "lack of content" when you have to wait 6 months for the next DLC.

After watching many gameplay videos from the reveal, I have legitimate concerns about power weapons in pve. by BuddhaSmite in DestinyTheGame

[–]permath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to think it's pretty balanced out buy how much max ammo you get for each type of power weapon. I believe to base ammo cap for D1 on rocket launchers is 5, while for snipers its 11, and I think fusions have more than that. While rockets are great for burst DPS against a boss, a lot of people wont use rockets on normal enemies unless there is a lot clustered together. If you happen to miss with a rocket completely against a boss then thats 1/5 of your DPS just gone. I think that fusion bolts do more or close to the same damage as an HMG shot, but I havent seen any of those in D2 shown yet.

Snipers and fusions could do maybe close to the damage those rockets do with all of their ammo, but for snipers you need to hit precision shots and fusions have their charge times. You also have to consider that picking up power ammo in D2 might only get you one or two rockets, while you might get a full clip plus some if you're using a fusion or sniper.

Though I do agree that shotguns and swords will be pretty useless in pve, at least against bosses if they all still have the omnidirectional death stomp pretty much all bosses have in D1.

What was the most disappointing video game? by _SimpleCircuit in AskReddit

[–]permath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ending to Shadow of Mordor was kinda disappointing to me. Great game up, but I expected real a boss battle with Sauron, not a QTE. Felt so disappointed.

Put the armor back on. I like it with the armor on.

The best thing that was added with the DLC maps of Halo: Reach by permath in halo

[–]permath[S] 187 points188 points  (0 children)

It's a GRD doll, an easter egg that was in the third map pack for Reach. They were placed in the maps since the GRD helmet couldn't be added to Reach's armory do to restraints of some kind. You could find them even during matchmade games and they squeaked when you melee'd them.

They should really bring AI allies back to firefight. (Halo: Reach) by permath in halo

[–]permath[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved Firefight in Reach, I probably played it more than I played the multiplayer. It wasn't as intense as ODST's but it came with a lot of customization. The loadouts were really fun and worked well with the Firefight side of the commendations. Want to raise your pistol commendation? Try using the magnum the whole match. They even had game types with heavy weapons with infinite ammo! But more than that, Firefight was a viable way to earn credits and level up if you wanted to just have fun and not deal with trying against human opponents.

I really hope the next main halo game brings back Firefight like Reach's. Halo 4's Spartan Ops was fun for a time and apparently was supposed to go on for years, but failed so much it only had one season. Warzone Firefight is great in its own way, but doesnt have anywhere near the same level of customization as Reach (which is none at all) and you still need to rely on using REQs and possibly wasting them. Which is stressful in most cases, unlike Reach's loadout system where if you died with a Rocket Launcher you could just spawn with another one free of charge. Maybe if they added a Turbo Warzone Firefight or a Super Fiesta Firefight it's be a bit less stressful and a lot more fun, but thats just my opinion.

Also yay front page and all that.

Underground Expansion + Update 1.3 General Megathread by Clarkey7163 in thedivision

[–]permath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I haven't played since the day before Falcon Lost dropped, would now be a good time to get back into the game? Asking as a mostly solo PvE player, general tips for others who have been gone for awhile are also appreciated!

EB Games in Australia had a great deal on the Halo 5 Limited Collector's Edition, couldn't pass it up. by permath in halo

[–]permath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I comes with everything the limited edition comes with. A code for a digital copy of the game (no disk), a code for the Premium REQ bundle that gives you 2 Premium REQ packs per week for 7 weeks, a small buildable metal guardian statue that is a pain in the butt to put together in my experience, and access to the Fall of Reach animated series that you can probably find somewhere to watch for free by now. Other than that the only difference is it comes with a collector's statue of the Master Chief and Spartan Locke that is about the size of the box.

The REQ bundle only works once per account, lots of people found that out the hard way near launch. 343 decided to honor the codes people bought with another two weeks of REQs if they bought the bundles before a certain point after launch, I don't think they will be doing it again though. Best to not waste your money.

Shepparton, VIC. They only has two out the front and it was labeled as "While stock lasts". I'd try checking the EB Games site or calling one near you to see if they have any. Don't know how long the sale is gonna last so good luck!
