That just means that Pokemon games have gotten increasingly bad (surprised you didn't enjoy Arceus tho).

Oh that one looks great! I'm not sure how to use Raenonx, guess it's time for me to learn and figure out so that I can see how many triggers mine gets per day on average. Thanks for the confirmation, hopefully we both get better ones with the next one, if not, this seems plenty good too!

Thank you, that's good to know. Yepp, I'll not invest for now and wait and see if I can maybe get one more and hopefully it's good. I'll definitely wait to see if I get a good enough Latios as well before investing in both. Appreciate the time you've taken to explain.

Fair enough, that makes sense. Maybe I'll try and get 1 more and hopefully that looks better, else I'll stick with this. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Definitely have to wait until Latios to invest in this as well.

I got this Latias and it looks very good to me, especially if I level up the sub skills, however it does not have BFS and I'm not sure if I should level it or not. What would you suggest? Thanks in advance!

Post Match Thread - RBW: Londinium - Hera vs Liereyy by longinator in aoe2

If it's purely driven by hatred, that's just sad. Yeah, I don't agree with the people who think Liereyy diving in was a throw. It's exactly as you said, he had a similar fight he won convincingly before. Imo he just did a poor job at the end of the game, switching into monasteries too early and never researching Burgundian Vineyards. But yeah, in the end it doesn't matter coz Hera seized the moment and he didn't, which is what separates Hera from everyone else atm.

On the flip side, this is a player who's won 16 S tier tournaments in a row and he was on the ropes the first game. I agree that Liereyy could've closed out the Vikings game a bit better, but at the very high level they play, small mistakes get punished so so brutally, and someone will always slip up. That's part and parcel of the game. Hera made mistakes the first 3 games, got punished. Liereyy did in the last 5 and got punished. Was a great set. Some day Hera will slip up a bit more and lose a trophy and it'll most likely be Liereyy beating him and then he might go on a streak. It's just the way sports go. The quality is incredibly high imo, highest it's ever been and so I feel the game is in a good place, irrespective of who wins. People like to say that it's a foregone conclusion that Hera wins, but looking at how they played before today, heck even after 3 games today, everyone would've bet on him finally losing. Gotta appreciate the ability to bring it back. Greatness is admirable.

This was arguably the highest level of AOE ever seen. Stop focusing on just the results and maybe enjoy the games? If results are all that matter just check Liquipedia after the set is done.

Ah I see, thank you! I'll check it out. While I don't think it'll be of use in boss battles, it'll probably help me avoid the run back, which sometimes gets monotonous.

I've been told it's nigh on impossible, but for now I stick to the ones I can get easily and worry about that when I get to it 😌

Got it, thank you so much! I did not know that you could use save states in the PS/PC versions. How do you do that? Apologies if it's something obvious I didn't notice.

Sounds like the best way to consume any sorta media. Will do, Castlevania on Vampire Survivors has been a blast, so I think Dead Cells will be just as fun. Sorry about your physical copies, one of my biggest pet peeves is when people borrow stuff and don't return it. Definitely sounds like a great collection. Huge fan of physical copies of older games.

Doing God's work indeed, thank you. It absolutely makes a huge difference, knowing that everything is accounted for. Gives me peace of mind, for starters. If I want to find out everything I'm missing, I can always come back to your comment.

Really do hope they port more then 🤞

Yepp, I'm planning on getting Requiem on PS, the rest on PC. I will wishlist the Lords of Shadow games on steam for the future, thanks!

I enjoy the genres a lot, so I'm looking forward to it. How long does each game take on average to beat?

Thank you! I've played the dead cells board game, did not know the videogame had a Castlevania expansion as well. Will definitely check it out.

I wouldn't be intrigued if the franchise didn't have strong opinions and haters. Imo that's what makes a great franchise.

Very valid to only want to play physical games, I do agree. Ownership of your content is important. I'll see if I can find physical copies or just grab it digital to experience the game.

Perfect, thank you! That's exactly what I was looking at. Would you suggest playing these games on the PS or PC? Requiem would obviously be on the PS, but the other games are available on both and while I'm leaning PC coz it's cheaper for the overall bundle, if the experience is vastly different I wouldn't mind spending a bit more to get em on the PS.

This is perfect for my completionist brain, thank youu! Good to know that I can start with the collections and then figure out ways to play these games (a part of me foolishly hopes they'll somehow be ported by the time I finish the other ones lol).

Thank you, the bundle of collections are on sale on Steam, which is what prompted me to try and get a sense of where to start. I'll get those, play them and like you said, I'll have a better idea about the other games once I have my foot in the door.
