I dunno man, I'm playing the Enhanced version of the first one, and it's nice fighting end game enemies and Mini bosses/Badasses that don't take 5 minutes of non-stop criticals and specific weapon elements to kill.

I only played 2 and presequel and I don't think I've had any enemy, boss included, last that long. Maybe the final boss but it took me a bit to get the mechanics of the fight :shrug:

Are you playing at normal difficulty or the neckbeard pee bottle one?

Yeah I said endgame so UVHM. To be honest I never bothered with the OP1-8 stuff, that was just too much for me.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Last I checked there wasn’t really any such build as a bad Salvador build but okay.

And it doesn’t matter because you do need Slag to accomplish anything at all which is pretty terrible design.

It does. If you're just casualing it up the enemies can be a bit spongy but a proper build and some basic farming and you can one-shot all the way to OP8. Even bosses can be killed in a few seconds with some gimmicks/bugs.

let's not forget bl2's ultimate capstone ability that infinitely increases your damage but ticks down when you aren't killing things and ticks down faster as you get more stacks, but enemies don't spawn into the world nearly fast enough to keep the skill up for more than, say, 5 stacks (+5% damage lol)

I didn't think this could possibly be unpopular but the dualshock is the de facto perfect videogame controller, the face buttons, the triggers the dpad the analogue sticks. You couldn't make a better device.

Lol that controller was designed for somebody without a human hand. to use the controller means putting your hands into some horrible claw position that becomes uncomfortable to hold almost immediately. Add in that the buttons are almost always unintuitive for where they are positioned, and at the very least run counter to convention for seemingly no reason. X will work as "A" when you'd assume it meant "B" kind of thing. Even Nintendo has come around to the proper controller shape these days, the good shape for human beings with regular mammal hands.

What about the one where you can't hit anything but your shots will always bounce straight to enemies for a crit and do instantly kill everything in the area once you build up a stack?

X is a letter. The symbol on the Dualshock is a symbol- a cross- universal and easily understood like the other 3 button-symbols. Hth.

Anarchy is the damage and accuracy penalty stacking skill and Close Enough is the one that causes the ricochets toward enemies (Nth Degree makes every X bullet depending on skill level bounce to another enemy after hitting). Gaige is the most boring character imagineable.

Though they don't home onto crit spots, they bounce toward the center of the enemy so if you want to crit with them you need the right angle. Generally aiming at the ceiling is best, if available.

You can get it up to about 50 on most maps without much trouble. A fair bit higher if you're using Vladof sniper rifles.

did they change something about it? because in 2013, stack 7 lasted all of four seconds, which is way longer than it takes for an enemy to crawl out of a spawn hole and become a valid target

I know a dude who refuses to play any bl game co-op and will only play solo. I've always wondered what happened to him to cause that kind of preference to happen because it's gotta be dark.

This is me and I prefer playing alone because I hate waiting for other people or feeling rushed by other people when I'm playing a non-competitive game, I just want to relax and play at my own pace and not worry about anyone else. Also I hate the process of dividing up loot, like "oh poo poo a legendary, I'll take this one but you can have the next one" and then "oh poo poo another legendary. well this one fits my build better than yours so I'll take it."

Coop games are more fun if you focus on helping your friends gear up/get better than being a huge min-maxing douchelord. Can't stand people who think/play like those whom you described.

Isn’t that just relying entirely on abusing the Bee and never actually using his turret or am I thinking of something else.

It actually abuses grenade damage boosts and Tediore guns and the Bee.

Loads of dumb good/bad bugs in the game that make it hilariously awesome at endgame. As an aside, a pair of Mayas dueling with a particular build can build up the highest potential damage burst in the game but it's not practical in most situations.

I played Final Fantasy 1-2, 4-6 on the GBA.

5 was the worse. I never finished it. Games with job systems just don't feel good to me.

2 was the most memorable. Killed this crazy Emperor and killed him again in Hell and again in Heaven with the game's dead characters.

I think a key thing with fighting games is the theatricality, especially with them traditionally being a social activity back in the arcade days and all. Mortal Kombat has a history of being janky as a game, but it makes for a great spectator sport.

They fixed that issue.

Unfortunately they didnt fix its underlying mechanical issues and lack of intriguing roster variation (were at like 6 gokus now) and the game is dying fast on the tournament circuit.

Their producer has seriously dropped the ball on DLC. Another Broly? GT Kid Goku? Not Janemba? Not Capsule-bot Bulma a la Tron Bonne? NOT MUTHAFUCKIN MY MAIN MAN ROSHI? Swerve on this season.

Mechanically the game is fine. It maintains a good balance between little things to make the game fun for casuals but enough complexity for top-level players to do some cool stuff. All anime games suffer drop-off after release though because anime fans are trash and 95% of them buy the game to fire it up once in a while and do a special move with their favorite characters/waifus.

They also change too much from iteration to iteration. GG looks great- even better than DBFZ but it's so dense and chock full of useless dumb mechanics that no one wants to play it seriously, combine that with the earlier supposition about trash anime fans and you get dead games. Dead games for all!
