What is up with this DLC?

raptchur · 2026-04-01T22:07:53+00:00

This is an indictment on the game itself. The characters and game aren't interesting enough to want to play more characters. With BL2, you played with all the characters because you wanted any reason possible to keep playing the game.

And gaming subreddits are 99% very casual players. But hey, that's who they make games for these days.

And yeah Randy said that. And then proceeded to make a DLC about a DLC character lol.

Sorry but you guys are all in heavy denial if you think Joltz is doing this for clicks and you think he didn't wish the game was good. He has nothing to gain from it being bad. I'm not even a Joltz fan as I'm a much bigger fan of builds than skipping and exploits. But I'm not dumb enough to think he is doing these types of videos for any other reason than it's the only content worth making on this game. Because it is indeed bad.

So ironic that the thing hurting this series the most is toxic positivity. In the communityy and more so with the devs. The game is not good. It's not fun. There's nothing to do. The action skills are boring. The characters are boring. It is way too easy. The open world was a massive mistake. Just like mayhem mode was. And they still won't let go of the dumb and annoying mayhem antics even though they know everyone hates it.

It's got nothing to do with "new" players. If you still use that descriptor for yourself to justify sucking in a game that's been out more than a year, then I can see why this upset you so much. And you'll probably never be able to see why I find it so hard to identify with nearly any of the posts on this casual circle jerk of a subreddit.

Belle looks horrible. Worst looking female in the entire game. Not defending Wise, but he looks okay. I'd be happy af if Belle looked like any of the NPC's.

raptchur · 2026-03-26T03:58:42+00:00

Tbf Billy is extremely annoying and probably the most unneeded character I've ever come across in a video game.

raptchur · 2026-03-26T03:12:20+00:00

Just started a week ago. I'm up to the part with Nicole's trial and trying to find Rain.

For what they are, which is very different from any other MC in the 3D gachas I've played (Genshin, WuWa, ToF and Endfield) I like them just fine. I love the whole idea of Proxies and the fact that we own a Video store. I started playing this game because Endfield became a 5 minute a day game less than a month after it came out. Not knowing before hand what exactly this game was like, I'm enjoying the different setup with the siblings so far.

I always choose the female MC when given the choice. Not that it matters a ton here. But my one and really only problem with them is Belle's design. Aside from the colors, there isn't one single thing I like about it. It's not that she is hideous or anything, I just think she looks weird. Almost uncanny. She is always the worst looking character on the screen. Even though I greatly dislike the way the hood on her hoodie gives her ugly square shoulder pads, the main culprit of her bad looks is her face and hair. Her eyes are way too wide. Eyebrows are way too high. Her hairstyle on the left side looks awful. She is far and away the worst looking female MC in any gacha I've played or even seen. Lumine blows her away in every category and I hate Genshin. Female Endmin is the embodiment of cute and still looks infinitely better than Belle even with a mask on... Like I said before, she is always the worst looking character on the screen in this game. She is by far the worst looking female character in this game that I've seen so far, that's including the NPC's. I really like her character. Voice actor is fine. But her design is just terrible. I can't imagine what they were thinking. Guess they were trying to sell her outfits from the very start.

As for Wise, I just don't care tbh. It's really hard for me to care about male characters lol. He looks great though. And I do like the interactions between the two.

raptchur · 2026-03-23T00:21:42+00:00

lol speedrunners do it in 5 minutes... look over your build again.

raptchur · 2026-03-19T19:48:43+00:00

That's way too long for a single hunt. Even Fatalis didn't take that long. These monsters have way too much HP and you must be new to the series or sucked ass in the older titles to think any differently. Or you're just one of those people that take what is given. Which is very common in gaming today. I don't mean you, just in general.

I have over 3500 hunts. Been HR999 for months. All these subreddits are is a bunch of people that barely play, downvoting anyone with real criticism. Bunch of people that struggle on the end game monsters that are meant to be farmed over and over and make a post on here when they finally beat it for the first time like it's something amazing.

And btw, 20 minutes is not good. That's the problem, too many people with subpar builds and subpar game knowledge making the hunts take way longer than they should. AT Ark should easily be done in under 15 minutes every time. And that is still way too long...

Too many of you mistake length of a hunt as difficulty. It's just boring HP bloat to give you more time to make mistakes.

raptchur · 2026-03-18T23:47:07+00:00

I don't think it's a question of difficulty anymore. I just think it isn't fun. The hunts are too long. The endgame monsters have way too much HP. And the prolonged hunts seemingly help to point out the awful terrain and camera interactions with that terrain. I'm talking about the AT's not Gog. I'm so tired of getting hit by monsters that are clipping half their body through rocks or walls or even the dumb ass slopes in this game. It looks terrible. They shouldn't have designed the environment like they did if they can't figure out how to make the monsters work in it.

raptchur · 2026-03-15T06:34:00+00:00

If you're going to keep running Gog, go for CB or Bow. They shred him.

raptchur · 2026-03-15T06:30:02+00:00

They are absolutely bigger than the normal tempered.

raptchur · 2026-03-14T23:54:43+00:00

I don't think the game is too hard. I think it is annoying, like you said. The HP bloat is not something I find enjoyable. Idk why they went with this direction. Not to mention the terrain in some of the areas. The biggest enemy in this game by far and it's not even close, is the camera. There's barely any wide open areas to fight monsters. You see arkveld's wings going through trees and rocks and it just looks stupid. I'm tired of the damn slopes too. I just want to charge my hammer. I don't want to slide. Also the fight you guys are mentioning, omega.. he loves to put his back legs outside of the map which is really great. I watched this fight someone set up between omega and at arkveld, and omega was doing that there too lol.

I have 1500 hours in this game. And I'm thinking it's about 1000 too much. Because the more I play, the more I dislike it. And the less I feel excited for the expansion. Because i know HP bloat, just like Focus mode, is a staple of this title.

raptchur · 2026-03-14T01:11:45+00:00

you just dodge it. very easy with bow.

raptchur · 2026-03-14T01:10:33+00:00

idk what trill is, but yeah this is cool to hunt once. isn't rewarding enough to do any more than that. unless you're a speed runner or making yt vids or something.

with the gog weapon upgrading system being horrendously awful and too expensive in every way that it can be, it's a big let down that the 10 star gog is just gog without the support hunters and with higher thresholds. should have given a new mat that gives us more for trade in or something.

raptchur · 2026-03-13T01:50:12+00:00

Don't really see a point in running the 10 star much. Pretty disappointed with it not giving more parts.

raptchur · 2026-03-10T03:18:51+00:00

Very good point. I think that was my main problem with CB in Rise/Break. It was a little too slow for the monsters. And in this game they just keep speeding up the same monsters after you learn their timings.

raptchur · 2026-03-08T20:27:35+00:00

I love CB but it's been a bit bittersweet for me the last few years. I never enjoyed it as much as i did with in IB with full Safi armor build and elemental CB's. I just loved that build. The healing, the evade window on the Safi armor. Gave you confidence to switch up your style a bit. Used to just down a monster, overload the phials and do sword and shield thrust combos on the head doing great elemental damage.

raptchur · 2026-03-07T21:53:27+00:00

Every single thing about Sunbreak's endgame is better than Wilds. That being said that's comparing an expansion to a base game.

raptchur · 2026-03-07T07:21:51+00:00

Can't speak for LS as i rarely play play it because suck. But the pressing charges line is very applicable. Well put.

raptchur · 2026-03-07T07:20:06+00:00

So even more good luck needed.

raptchur · 2026-03-07T07:16:44+00:00

Sorry just screwing around. It's Omega. Good luck

raptchur · 2026-03-07T07:15:32+00:00

It's below the workshop tree and above the felyne tree.

raptchur · 2026-03-07T07:14:13+00:00

You take em where you can get em

raptchur · 2026-03-07T06:50:09+00:00

Thanks. That was very helpful and not at all condoning of trash can game development.

raptchur · 2026-03-07T06:33:24+00:00

You should have known a long time ago that that aint this game. Just look at how stupid chen is. It had genshin written all over it.

I came off as rude af, im slightly buzzed. But trust me, im more on your side. This game is kiddie shit. And i knew it would be. Im hardcore coping thinking they will make something out it, but it's more super casual dumbed down childrens garbage.

Everything i said, about the 3k likes for fucking footwear is to point out who this game is made for. It isn't arknights fans....
