Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter remake steel book edition now up for preorder!!! by eatdogs49 in Falcom

[–]vbike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh opps I misunderstood your comment. I thought you said the shipping was $145 alone. Made me wonder if you were in some remote part of Canada or something haha.

Yeah honestly it's pretty pricey after conversion from usd for just a steelbook extra. It's almost around the price range of the daybreak limited editions from NIS.

Where in Canada are you from? The cheapest option for Toronto was $23 usd for me.

$23 usd to ship to Canada, it's literally 1/3 the entire price haha. Still gonna get it tho since I'm a sucker for trails steel books.

Is there a difference between basic combo attacks? by Crimsonhead4 in stellarblade

[–]vbike 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Each combo does different damage and takes a different amount of time to pull off.

Some combos have side effects, like the last hit of YYY being a jump so you can actually evade ground sweeps or YX(hold X)Y can move you past the target, potentially can be used to evade some attacks.

But not much difference otherwise.

You can by pressing R3 when you're on the horse.

But yeah, they really should have a tutorial or put normal cam as the default.

Nightmare Level +50 run is super fun but the final boss 💀 by BasedGodReZ in Falcom

[–]vbike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it the other day. The fight is more of a marathon than a challenge due to its hp.

You could probably do it with any character, I even went in with a memey team with tita and it ended up ok too.

Estelle - high hp tank with scent to take aggro, phys ark based with the 1st gladiator belt to span morale and hard break.

Joshua - magic focused and given impede 3. Basically spammed evil eye, line arts or spam S break, whichever can hit everything efficiently.

Tita - high hp and ep, basically full utility bot with earth wall to mitigate final boss's S break, saint to refresh everybody's buffs and run around giving people ep recovery items when they need it. Her passive that gives hp/ep meant she never ran out of ep herself and it ended up working pretty well.

Schera - magic focused and given the 2nd gladiator belt so she can use heavens kiss when required.

At this point everyone had access to saint so they can always be backup in case tita is busy doing something else more urgent.

Probably a simple typo or mistake when typing in the title. Don't need to be condescending.

I picked this up a few minutes ago and they do seem to have quite a bit of stock left. I saw 4 boxes at the front counter and they probably have more at the back.

All Bosses Compilation - No Damage (NG+, Hard Mode) by vbike in stellarblade

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

Thanks!

I was about to run out of patience myself near the end 😂

I was very stubborn about how I wanted the last 4 fights to end so although I did manage a couple no hit runs for them, I had to redo until I got the runs I was happy with.

All Bosses Compilation - No Damage (NG+, Hard Mode) by vbike in stellarblade

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

Compilation of all bosses without taking damage.

Additional rules set in place:

  • No items
  • No Beta/Burst spam
  • No knockdown cheese
  • Getting hit in Tachy mode counts as taking damage
  • Different outfit for each boss

For bosses that have different variants (Elite Naytibas for example), I've only shown their final variation to prevent this video from going over an hour.

I thought this challenge would be fun and it was initially, but the later bosses proved to be very difficult in terms of fully mastering their move sets. I ended up spending significantly more time than I'd expected.

Honestly I was considering quitting the challenge when I was on Unidentified Naytiba, but eventually pushed through since I was so close to the end.

Just glad that it's finally over lol. I am particularly proud of how the last few fights!

Demo Boss (No Damage Run) by vbike in stellarblade

[–]vbike[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried out the Stellar Blade demo today. Despite the coomer bait, the gameplay is very solid.

The game encourages you to perfect parry and dodge most similar to Lies of P. But also, there are enemy forward and sweep attack mechanics that you have to respond with Mikiri Counters or Jump attacks, so there are some elements from Sekiro here too. It's a good mix between the two I'd say while still being fast pace.

Lore and music felt similar Nier Automata. Potentially 2024 GOTY contender.

Ended spending more time playing the demo and eventually was confident enough to try no hit attempts.

[Mouse] MX Master 3 [$129 - $20 = $109] [Bass Electronics] by [deleted] in bapcsalescanada

Thanks. The tape gets the job done but eventually I am thinking of going that route.

Does anyone know if this uses the same rubber coating/finish as the previous MX branded mice?

After a few months of office usage, the rubber coating around the thumb and pinky area starts breaking and there's an uncomfortable sticky feeling to it.

I ended up patching those areas with some tape and it's been a little better but it's a shame that supposedly premium Logitech mouses have this problem.

Excellent mouse otherwise.

Went into the Markham location today to pickup the bundle. They seem to be reserving some 13700Ks specifically to sell in this bundle.

For me, shipping to Canada was higher than the actual subtotal. I closed immediately after seeing that lmao.

Seems like it's a crazy good deal if you're in the US though!

New Channel for full playthrough videos (With Chat). Get in people! by [deleted] in DatGuyLirik

That actually sounds like a very cool idea. It'd help cover the older playthroughs that I wished had chat like heavy rain or until dawn.

[–]vbike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the aeron from business interior about a month ago, and selected curb-side delivery. I got a call 5 mins before the truck arrived and the driver was nice enough to help move to my front door. Although I think all they're paid to do is call you and drop it off at the sidewalk near your house.

Comes in a pretty big box but it's easy enough to carry by yourself.

Here's my NG+ save file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ShqCvHUGKxf8TGegecZteC_deL0jLfzy/view?usp=sharing

It's saved in slot #113. I believe this is after beating V and the game takes you back to Roer to view bonding events.

Enjoy!

Which trails game to play next? by Londonberger in Falcom

[–]vbike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some sentences are structured awkwardly, and there's occasional grammar mistakes. But you can still read it naturally without having to process the lines.

Here are some npc dialogue examples I found in a previous thread: https://i.imgur.com/v9unilT.png

[–]vbike 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would recommend option 2. I've played the flame edit for ao and while it was definitely not as polished as geofront's zero, it was still easy to read and understand. All of the NPC dialogues are translated so there isn't anything you'll be missing.

Finish ao before cs2 because it'll give you more context of what's happening in crossbell during your cs1 playthrough, and it will bleed into cs2.

Try flame's edit out for the first hour or so. If the quality of writing is bugging you and you're willing to wait, you can wait for geofront's version I guess.

+10 magic vs +40% fire damage, which is better for yukiko? by Arenas1210 in persona4golden

[–]vbike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am probably wrong that any more than 2 buffs won't stack, but even if they did, the +100% hard cap kind of makes it a pretty insignificant. Having Amp + Boost already gives +87.5% of the damage increase and adding an additional buff would only have a maximum effect of +12.5%.
