If you're a MIles Morales / Gwen Stacy fan, and their roles as respective Spider-peeps, you'll really like this.

Also takes a z list villain and makes them an incredible threat.

I thought the entire thing with the spot is that he has an insanely broken power but is too stupid to use it properly. Kinda like how ice man's power was not just ice, but entropy itself.

I like that they played with that dumbness before actually going somewhere with it. That whole first fight is magnificent comedy

define "armor variety", because every monster you fight is at least one new set you have access to

I mean how long will it take me to start crafting them?

thats up to you and how much you feel like farming a monster to make its set or eventually just passively accumulating enough parts doing quests that you're able to craft it. i'm more of the latter mindset personally, especially in low rank

Rinkles posted:

not to get ahead of myself, but how long before you start seeing some armor variety in mohun?

Variety in terms of what, skills or how they look? because generally it'll be High Rank when you start seeing actually cohesive sets for skill builds as well as visual variety, and Master Rank is where they really take off to the next level.

edit: slow posting is my forte. To answer your follow up question, if you want full sets you'll need to farm a specific monster for a number of hunts, the number of which is dictated by if you need a particular rare monster part and how kind RNG is being.

That said, I wouldn't recommend grinding for any Low Rank sets. They'll get instantly out scaled once you hit High Rank, and High Rank is out scaled by Master Rank if you own Sunbreak.

note that even riot figured out a way around this by just having it be a "celebration of spring colors" in the regions where saying it openly would get the government and/or mailbombs knocking on your front door

Bad Video Games: Sep 17, 2017

I actually got back into comics recently, but I can't even touch the major titles. Things like X-Men: Red and Green Arrow are great, but I don't even want to think about touching the Avengers or Justice League. I haven't even tried to look at Spiderman and he was my favorite as a kid.

I'm usually a fan of unnecessary cruelty, because I think it is funny, but this is simply going too far. Are you really comfortable inflicting that on a person; a living breathing human being like yourself?

Square's marketing is so good. Releasing two of the biggest Final Fantasy games in years in a single year and weeks before XVI comes out (which a lot of people still aren't aware is coming out), let's have our first marketing for the sequel to FF7 Remake after the reveal be a bunch of tweets saying it will have both gameplay and narrative.

Gee I wonder why XVI's preorder numbers are low

FFXV started out with a snoozer, Ben E King's "Stand By Me". FFXVI opens with Clive and his friends trashing a Midwest America Waffle House to Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town."

I'm not expecting marketing for the FF7R sequel to really ramp up until sometime after XVI is out. I'm sure it'll get a big marketing push later this year.
