Is Sim City not good? Is Megapolis not good?

If megapolis is the one I'm thinking of, I ended up having to build and destroy huge amounts of basic level buildings to get a chance for a drop of the right item needed to build higher level stuff. Then I needed to build and destroy heaps of those to get the next level and gently caress that.

Just in time for the big new movie (The Age of Adaline I think?), beat 'em up/action RPG Marvel Future Fight should be rolling out globally sometime this week. I've been playing it since it soft launched a few weeks ago; its pretty fun though ultimately quite mindless.

Yeah, been playing this as well. It's possibly the most grindy game I have seen. They throw a lot of energy at you, which is nice, but goddam. Ranking up team members takes 20 drops of biometrics per rank, if they drop at all. You can only do each elite level 3 times a day, which is where most of them drop. Then you have to increase mastery which requires more drops of a different mcguffin.

Its fun, in a way. Most of my game time is spent with iron-man, collecting up all the possible enemies, then doing his AoE attack to take them down asap. Boss fights are largely the same as well. Avoid attack by moving in a circle, attack once, avoid next attack by moving in a circle, wait for special attack to come off cool down while moving in a circle and attacking.

I'm running a main trio of Black Widow, Cap and Blade and I've gotten to chapter 5 by mainly just running up to enemies and punching them in the face until they die. I don't think I even bother trying to dodge enemy attacks at all.

Elite or normal?

That tactic doesn't work for me in chapter 4+ elite. Plus AoE is quicker.

Normal. I had gotten them to level 22 so they were fairly resilient before the update (now they get hammered in the first wave of enemies - this is how much they increased the difficulty).

Jesus, just updated and they cranked the difficulty up too high. Doubled the hp in villain siege, and added more bomb bots. Can barely scratch the first boss now.

Looks like that Marvel ARPG launched in the US. It didn't happen to get a patch rolling back the gross grind people were talking about during the soft launch, did it? :pray:

They didn't put it back to where it originally was, but close to it.

Make no mistake, it's still grindy as gently caress. It's just they changed the difficulty.

Generally, the reward for the extra quest is a key. You can usually finish those so you have at least one for the next run.

Does Gems of War ever get to the point where you can play regularly or is it always the whole "Out of gold? Pay here m'lord unless you want to wait until tomorrow." shtick?

Once you get a halfway decent team going, money rolls in. I honestly can't remember the last game I lost, and I have hit rank 1 for the last three weeks.

Valkyrie and griffon knight is the ducks nuts. They feed each other and I have had games where once that combo starts rolling the opponent doesn't get another turn.

Also, be in a decent guild and save up gems for a set of armour. Mine gives extra souls and gold.

Is Gems of War just hellbent on the PvP angle or is there room for the PvE types like myself?

There are quests in each zone but they don't reward much gold. If you finish off the quests for each zone then you are awarded an epic(?) card.

Honestly it's not very pvp. You are matched up against the Ai but it uses a set of cards from another player. You never actually play against another player. There is no timer or anything either.

Speaking of Puzzle Quest, I've been enjoying Marvel Puzzle Quest, though they keep teasing me with Squirrel Girl and Ms Marvel, but never giving them to me when I get a heroic recruit token. The biggest problem is I keep coming up against walls where the battle will at one point have enough matches be made that it destroys a full strength hero and takes another to half in one move by the computer. Its really loving annoying.



If that's your biggest problem with MPQ, quit now and look back on your time with fondness, because it's gets real loving grindy.
