I MAY LOOK LIKE SHIT BUT IM ALSO DUMB AS FUCK

Angry slimy Brachy is hella mad you killed that dodogama forever ago. Full antiblast is required, imo. Then you also need like a ton of defense or constant quick healing because he hits real loving hard. Did you make it to the last phase? Because the last phase loving owns.

I’m East coast so I’m usually wrapping up when y’all are getting on but if you need help I can tag along tonight. His armor/weapons are real good and worth crafting.

In summary: :torgue:

Yeah, I made it to the last phase and was healing my team constantly, we couldn't have been more than 30 seconds away from a win when I took one wrong step and lost it for the team. It was really intense.

TheDarkFlame posted:

Yeah that fight is a hell of a thing, I needed to kill it multiple times for the armour (Artillery is a good damage buff for Charge Blades) and we did it seven times in one day without managing to kill it. That final chamber is also a nightmare. I'd suggest taking 3 Blastblight resistance decorations because every time you stand on the thing's slime it triggers blastblight even if it doesn't explode, so getting that immunity means you have less to worry about. Still a really tough fight though.

Okay, I was rocking the immunity mantle, too, though in the very end the handler piped up in the corner and said some of my items were unusable which I think was in reference to special tools, I'm not sure.


edit; VVVVVVV Ahh, I see, so they anticipate my desire to gtfo :eyepop:

I think that’s a reference to the farcaster. You can’t escape the area once you’re in.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

All I know is that if you advertise your product as being some deeply reactive system-based open-world RPG and spend one 40-minute trailer talking about how differently all the missions can turn out based on player decisions, you shouldn't let yourselves get beat in the choice & consequence department by Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

They never used the words "deeply reactive" or "system-based" though, you inferred that from the trailers. They talked about a big open world and different gangs and brands and it has that.

The missions can go differently based on player actions? It'd be nice to have more options but that's always the case. Even games like Deus Ex usually only have 2-3 routes but the devil's in the details.

Its unbelievably horrible. Its so bad I had to watch more about it to confirm its actually real.

The best part is they made it as part of an experimental show where two fledgling directors were both given like a half million dollars to shoot a script (the same script!) and then compare them.

The woman who went up against Shane Dawson put in a really nice hearwarming indie film, and he makes the worst terrible un-funny comedy smut imaginable.

But of course, because he's Youtube Famous, he wins.

Zachary Quinto was involved and the best thing ever is watching him furiously melt down after the results. He was loving livid that they paid Shane Dawson to film poop-eating jokes.

The whole thing is a staff of exhausted people trying to explain to Shane why what he wants is a terrible idea in a very professional manner and him responding like a child throwing a hissy fit and slamming his fists on the table demanding he gets his way.

Yeah, that's how he got on there.

The idea of "classically trained film school graduate first film vs youtuber creator first film" isn't terrible, but picking someone who had a huge following meant he was pretty much guaranteed to win.

It was that type of game on release and had it been able to keep its promises I think it could have stayed that popular.

I even say that as someone who the ideal NMS doesn’t appeal to at all

Yeah. I think the main problem is that the potential that people saw in it was unrealistic (not their fault though) for any game. The best case scenario was where the game is at now, which is a pretty standard survival game with a cool gimmick.

But it was so easy to get wrapped up in the hype of the early trailers and Sean Murray’s promises, that it was easy to imagine as this groundbreaking game that would change everything. And it was never going to be that.

Is about to die!
EA constantly pushing their dev teams for the last 10+ years to implement these overarching directives instead of actually letting them get on with making the loving games they want has left them in such a hole.

First Project $10 and gutting content out of games to try and kill the second hand market, then making all dev teams move to Frostbite even if it wasn't suited for what they were doing, then microtransactions and GAAS.

Meanwhile Sony in particular showing that letting dev teams make high quality single player experiences is actually a pretty great way of making money.
