  1. As bad as RNG is, layered RNG is even worse. For example, in Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (amazing RPG, BTW totally worth a try, pretty long imo) end/post game sidequest requires you to craft a War God's Ax. Alright, end game weapon, how hard can it be? Well it requires a Demon's Ax, 5 Scroll's of Truth and 5 Kaleidostone's.

     

    Alright, how do you get these items? Well the Scroll of Truth is a rare drop/steal, from rare enemies. Same with the Kaleidostone. You need five each. The fastest way to get them? A certain character has the Steal ability that only he has. His (in FF7 terms) Limit Break makes stealing easier (or makes stealing the rare item easier, it's been a while). IIRC, the limit breaks are RNG as well.

     

    Well how about the Demon's Ax? Surly that can be bought or found right? Right? Nope, crafted. You need two Black Wings (common drop), three Tachestone's (common drop) and one Grand Ax. You've got to be kiddi- wait, what?! You can buy this ax? Oh good.

     

    that's more of an example of RNG done right tbh

     

    Not when item drop/steal rate, and enemy spawn rate are really low, like really really low.

     

    If it was required for the main quest I'd understand, but these sorts of things are standard in RPGs and they're where that sense of accomplishment comes in when your grinding pays off

  3. I think that Jews are too self centered and greedy, Catholics interpret their bible too literally, and Muslims are too prone to violence.

    This pretty much

    They're generalizations, of course, but they wouldn't exist if they didn't have some truth to them

     

    As for me, I'm an atheist

    I don't hold any ill will towards religious people and religion has had very little effect on my life so I just see it as a thing that exists, that I just can't understand for the life of me.

  4. dark souls 3 with blighty-kun

    we backstabbed a dude at the same exact time, it must've been frame-perfect because i'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be able to do that

    wish my PC wasn't shit so i could've recorded that moment

  5. dark souls 3 is easily the worst experience i've fucking had in a video game

    like way to take everything good and fun about the first game and completely shit on it

    if dark souls 3 pvp isn't unbalanced than cheating is fucking rampant and fromsoftware doesn't do jack shit about it

    dark souls 1 doesn't even fucking have an anti-cheat system and i've never had a problem with ds1's pvp

    like may as well play offline, where it's harder than dark souls 1 for all the wrong reasons

    parrying windows are fucking miniscule because the game isn't frame locked but the parrying seems to still be frame-based

    most of the bosses seem to follow the same formula of get behind and attack until dead or you get stunlocked or simply 1 hit, which totally shits on the "hard but fair" aspect of dark souls 1 that made it great in the first place

    common enemies are harder than the actual boss battles, it's absolute hell trying to get through the high wall but the vordt is just fine

    the easiest fucking boss in the game is preceded by the most frustrating area

    there's a lot of stuff dark souls 3 does better than dark souls 1, but it doesn't matter when it's not implemented in to a playable fucking game

  6. would it have killed you to use something that makes sense

    and i don't think 2 parts of a full name count as a single word

    so for the sake of simplicity, i'm skipping over you

  7. "i don't get the appeal therefore it's bad"

     

    also i'm not usually one to defend valve because their customer service has sunken below EA levels, but you're missing out on basically everything since steam is the biggest digital content distributor in the PC market

     

    unless you're a shitter who pirates everything he plays just like btg

  8. umineko no naku koro ni

    i remember back in like 2011 when it was absolute hell on earth trying to find this VN with a proper english patch and trying to get it all to work

    NOW IT'S AVAILABLE ON STEAM

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  9. "Oh hey! You think X game is best one in series, this view is different than mine, UNFRIEND!" WHO THE HELL DOES THAT KIND OF SHIT?!

     

    well i mean fallout 4 is kinda shit
