Mortal Kombat 9 had a really good system where it would throw 8 people into a lobby and 2 would fight while the rest would look on in a theatre complete with curtain and they'd watch and react to the game. The winner would stay on and it'd just cycle through people. Imagine the same thing but in a roman ampitheatre :shobon:

With all the unlockables and money/points/steel/scavenge they could add betting mode to that also.

I can actually play this game in 4K with a GTX 1070 and my 2 generation old midrange intel processor. It really helps clean up the clutter in dominion and makes enemy heroes way easier to pick out of the crowds.

I doubt that, GTA 5 lets you buy in game cash and bet with that. It's not like you can convert it back out of in game money to actual dollars.

They almost have 60/60 of their gear slots full, or they already do.

Nah, that's the !; you get a little red/yellow caution thing when their gear slots are almost maxed out.

Yeah!
I find the duels and brawl boring, so I mostly stick do dominion. Problem is, people are dumb as gently caress. Nine out of ten times when a teammate tries to "help" you (because they're not actually looking to help, they just want takedowns), they end up making the fight a lot harder for you instead. They'll either fill the enemies revenge meter, gently caress up your guard breaks or they'll keep catching you with their attacks, giving your opponent free hits. Just had a round with two of these people in my team, and I had to walk away from pretty much every encounter because one of them always insisted on lending me their aid. They also didn't give a poo poo about taking points, so in the end I just peaced out.

Wasn't chivalry made up for knights because "Holy poo poo you're fight atop a horse you're gonna need some special rules to handle this insanity"?

Chivalry comes from the English taking the french word Chevalier witch essentially means the same thing as knight. Over the years it broadened into the qualities one needs to be a chevalier/knight(martial prowess, horsemanship) then into the qualities of how they should act and eventually it turned into a weird set of rules about honor that 100% zero original chevaliers followed because the originals were literally personal mercenaries with prowess given armor and horses by their lord in order to defend their land from other lords.

Basically well trained troops got armor, horses, and training to become stupid powerful forces on the battlefield. These mercenaries eventually became important culturally as well, which evolved into the modern definition of knights we know.

And as with almost every interesting part of their culture, the Brits took it from the french.

Man, that feeling when you finally start learning the game and the class mechanics. I still suck a lot, but I'm actually starting to get a hang of things, plan out my attacks and poo poo. It feels good to simply dismantle an enemy player. Had an elimination round with my friends that ended up with me getting gangbanged by 2 Kensei and a Nobushi. I took down two of them but they were reviveable kills so it was for nothing. But the fact that I lasted long enough to do that was pretty loving awesome.

It also probably helps that I'm maining Warlord and therefore a relatively rare class to fight against compared to the 3 Lawbringers you get in every 4v4.

I'm starting to get a hang on Nobushi. There's still a skill-level that will feast on my face, but I'm starting to get the hang of them.

The most terrifying thing I've seen is some Beserker that apparently got Revenge from attacking? I'd block most of his attacks, hit him a few times, then he'd pop murderfuck goldenboy mode on me.

Focus on learning to parry than attack. Try to let them attack first to train yourself not to spam.

Do some 1v1 duels versus AI every now and then. They're not as good or unpredictable as players unless you get a level 3 one, but they're a lot better at teaching you stuff than the actual tutorial. Tutorials just make sure you understand how to put one foot in front of the other.

Also read the move-list of your favorite character, maybe go back and check it now and then.

Oh and just play more. It will eventually start to click.
