Condi'ed out my Rev WvW style. I need 2 earrings and I'll be fully ascended. Cost me 400g to do for the armor. I already had the mace/axe/staff to stat swap. I didn't get to test it out because I spent 4 hours farming AB for Superior Runes of Durability. But it gave me a chance to learn the class more. I have 20k HP, a ton of toughness, and I can rack up 4k ticks of torment and confusion on vets. Getting rolled on by arrowheads only takes 15% of my HP.
I can't wait to give this a shot tomorrow night with what I have.

I'm surprised you actually saw Cloud Fly die.
Use berserker stance for the resistance to negate condi damage and try to go berserk mode as much as possible since the eternal champion trait will give you stability whenever you break a stun and enter berserk mode. Thats how I secure alot of stomps in pvp with my warrior. Headbutt alone is a stun break so I usually get stability from it, then it hits, activate berserk for even more stability. I don't have to dedicate any utilities for stability with that eternal champ trait.

Yeah I'm sticking with Dire Guard... this shit is so OP it should be illegal.
Purging Flames does 10k damage? WTF? I nuked some guy overlooking a gate we were flame ramming. He didn't expect it and just got insta downed and melted. I have 22.5k HP. I played for a little bit in JQBL with a small squad of about 7. Is always fun when someone comes to attack you like a DD, thinking your an AH Frontline, and you drop that burn on them and they freak out and run away. I watched 3 people just run from me when I dropped purging flames on them. Most of the time it kills them if they aren't a warrior or rev. I had a Warrior do GS3 off a ledge just so I couldn't get his bag. Judges Intervention also adds to it as well, because I got someone that was with him and jumped on their corpse thinking they could 2v1 me.
I tried to play in a big zerg on EB, but I couldn't get into the squad because it was full. I did ok, but I wasn't getting any of the group support so when my stability and cleanse ran out I often got gravity welled... damn FA loves their mesmers. Its pretty annoying... the whole condi meta is a bit absurd. I'd die and WP only to have 5-6 bags in my inventory from people that died from my flame nuke. WvW should really be put on its own mode with a PvP type class builder. Burn guard is way more OP in WvW than it is in PvP. I mean, I can launch 5k ticks of burning without purging flames. Condi needs to be toned down a lot, but I'll keep abusing the shit out of it until its fixed. Dire gear is super cheap... and the trinkets are cheap too because Tequatl's fang and Amulet of Triple Curiosity are both Dire. The rings are 3g each, and you'll spend about 6-7g on the armor. Luckily I kept the 2 level 80 back pieces from the druid stone asc back collection and got a exotic dire back going too. I could give the other one to my necro if i wanted to try Dire Reaper. -
I should work on that druid back piece. I completely threw that to the back burner and forgot all about it. I'll probably buy another blood ruby backpack and blood ruby amulet tho and use those instead since they are quasi legendary. I can select dire (or trailblazer) stats on them and if I ever want to change it, it only costs 100 UB to buy the capacitor to stat swap it. Its one of the main reasons I do 2 bsf dailies every day. Once the next expansion comes out and if viper, or celestial or commander, etc. becomes the meta for guardian, I'll quickly have a back, amulet and earring stat swapped and ready to go. Same with all my other characters. I'm trying to get at least half of them setup with these 3 bloodstone ascended items each.

It really ruined Assault Horizon for me. I enjoyed the variety they had in what I played like the chopper mission, but dog fighting mode was such a shit mechanic, I got bored half way through and never finished the game.

Atari jumping back into the Console War?
DeathscytheX replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
That was the first game I ever hated. Atari games hold their charm because the vast majority of them were about getting the highest scores rather than completing them to get an ending. I can't even remember one that had an ending. -
I'm already seeing YT videos "89 Kills on War!!!!!" Yup.. plaything the mode not as intended.

Screw that. -
I'm of above average skill on AC as well, but If I don't have to not use XLAAs, I won't pass on them. I mean I could probably take it down no problem with the A-10 if I really wanted too. doesn't mean I'm going to. I'll leave that to the YT masochists. The only mission I remember being super frustrating to me was the one with the asshat in the MiG, and there was a time limit. I basically had to kill his ass with the mini gun because he could evade all my missiles until time ran out. After that though I was able to strafe his ass instantly. I forgot which game that was. Oh and so far, I'm happy I don't see any dog fighting mode. Good riddance.

https://www.vg247.com/2017/06/15/atari-releases-teaser-for-the-ataribox-a-brand-new-product-years-in-the-making/ I don't know what to make of it. "Years in the making" sounds more like an actual console that will be next gen. Can Atari make it a 4 way war? I want to no, but I've been wrong plenty of times. the video shows 2600-esque furniture. If this was a retro emulator box with 2600-5200 remastered (Blaster Master Zero style) or at least arcade version qualities of the games loaded into it, I'd buy it in a heart beat for nostalgia sake. I have rose tinted glasses to most my NES favorites, but every time I touch an atari and play Defender, Asteroids, or Yar's Revenge, its just as I remember them.
-
I felt bad for the guy at the end. The XLAAs would have been a better choice... but all he had access too was LAAM. Shit. You really need multi-targeting to take out all that firepower Arsenal Bird has. I'm sure he died after 93% damage. But damn is this game beautiful.
-
Every time I touch Contra, I have enough of it after level 1. I don't know how I ever enjoyed that, even with the Konami code.

If you're not up to speed on your Norse mythology. The World Serpent is Loki's middle child Jormungand. Thor threw him in the ocean as a child and he became so large he could grasp his own tail, which earned him the name World Serpent. When he releases his tail Ragnarok begins. Obviously GoW has always put its creative liberties in the story. But if I had to guess Loki is the one that is speaking to Kratos in the middle of the trailer, and Jormungand is going to help you in some way fight Thor... Somehow Kratos is getting screwed either at the end or mid way and we're gonna kill them all. PS5 we'll move on to Egypt.

lmao, I think you're remembering Super Metroid wrong, because it was the exact same thing. You'd always have to come back and go back to get new abilities and power ups to access the next tier of the level. metroid's design has always been that way to gate you from getting to bosses that were too strong. The final boss was absurd in MP1. I remember having 12 levels of HP/Shields and I beat it with 1 layer left. The only thing that was annoying about MPP compared to SM was back tracking involved fighting annoying mini bosses over again. I can't remember if it was 1 or 2 that had those ghost monsters that made the whole room go dark. I hated going back into those rooms because I knew it was going to happen almost every time. I think you suffer from selective nostalgia, because I do it too. When I bought the Mega Man collection for PS3 a long time ago, after I died on the first boss I picked, I never touched it again. I'm too old to have the patience for that shit. But I did play a Super Metroid rom maybe 2-3 years ago and I remember admiring how advanced it was for its time to have just one giant level with no "loading" or what ever cartridges did back in the day when it transitioned from level to level. There was a ton of going back, just so you could roll through a small crevasse or bomb jump to get some random item.

Shadow of the Colossus (Full Remake PS4)

Sadly, this is too objective based for COD. It will be hard to find a game shortly after release after everyone migrates to TDM. Drift0r's point about stats is everything, people care too much about their K/D to die a lot, in order to help the team win. LOL @ using the phone for the recon plane WTF that looks stupid. I like how this guy experiences what I get in COD games since MW3. A bunch of hitmarkers for him, but instant death when he gets shot.

My top 5 games I've played since last E3.
1. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2. NieR: Automata
3. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
4. Ratchet & Clank
5. Battlefield 1 CampaignThat's pretty loose because technically Uncharted 4 came out a month before last E3, but I didn't play it until a few months after it came out. I tried not to put multiplayer/MMOs in there, but so little games impressed me enough into a purchase, this is the list I was left with. BF1's Campaign was pretty damn good though, despite my grudge against the MP as a whole, I can't overlook that. The episodic nature of it really worked well, and the finale of each were really epic. Kudos to DICE for finally making a competent single player experience outside of Bad Company.
My first 2 are leaps and bounds above the rest of the list. Uncharted 4 was outstanding, but in my heart and mind, I can't find it to be super memorable. This is because I played 1-4 in 5-6 days, and a lot of it jumbles to together into one big game. While 4 had amazing visuals, and more polished controls, it was more of the same from the last 3. But honestly that's not bad at all. The story and characters I loved very much, which caused me to buy the 4th immediately after beating the collection.
Zelda brought something completely new to the series, while keeping it very familiar. It's a masterpiece I hope everyone gets to enjoy. NeiR was just something new and refreshing from the norm. Despite its many flaws, its one of my favorite games of all time. I didn't think I'd like having to play through multiple times to get the real ending, but I actually did. The combat, story, and above all the music was just spectacular. It's def one of those games that not enough people will get to play because it fell through the cracks.
-
The BF1 campaign was the best content DICE has ever made. I really need to play Uncharted 4. I was going to try it the other day but PSN's download speeds are so garbage it took my ps4 8 hours to download the game completely even though I have 200 mpbs connection.
-
Hmmmm. I dunno if I'd put BF1 over BFBC2's campaign. If you ever see it on the cheap for, its worth picking up for the campaign even if no one plays the MP anymore.

I probably own it on my origin account. I'll have to check it later.

It ruined her mystique for sure, but it wouldn't get in the way of making a decent Zero suit game, or a mechanic where she is without her suit for part of the game but can still kick ass. There is def a lot more female gamers now than say 10-20 years ago. But the market is still dominated by males and sex sells. 25-38 is actually the biggest consumer of gaming as of a few years ago when I read up on it. Basically us that started with Atari/NES, we are the biggest consumers. Samus was well ahead of her time. I want to say it wasn't until Lara Croft when another big female star was born, but she was very sexualized, which they managed to tone down with the latest series. But visually shes still very attractive. I think Overwatch has done an excellent job with Female diversity. They got a lot of flak at first when Windowmaker, Tracer, and Phara were the first female characters to be introduced. There was actually a really interesting article I read recently where during development, Blizzard approached China about Mei to make sure she wasn't culturally offensive. They scoffed at the character and wanted her to have a big butt and small waist like Widowmaker, but Blizz put their foot down and said no, eventually they gave the character the go ahead. Zarya is probably the strongest character meta wise in the tank class. But back on subject: WTF, Every Metroid game was about back tracking dating back to Super Metroid.

I don't think the inner man thighs counter balance the giant boobs and bikini bottoms of the female characters in that trailer.

I get why they did it. Fans have been bitching about Nintendo's lack of support for this series since Metroid Prime 3. I never played that one because it was Wiimote controls only. 1 and 2 were some of the best if not the best games released on the Gamecube and for the series as a whole. I remember playing 10 minutes of it at Babbages and instantly buying a Gamecube with MP1 and Mario Sunshine. Metroid seems all but dead. Another M apparently was a terrible game that sold horribly and Nintendo used it as an excuse not to make any more games. But it was like saying because DK bongo didn't sell well, we'll never make another DK Country game ever again. Thinking about it, thats what they've done actually. Nintendo is listening for once. BOTW was amazing, Odyssey looks really good and now we get a traditional Metroid Prime and Kirby game. Make me a DK Country and Earthworm Jim and damn I'll be completely satisfied with this generation of Nintendo.

Shadow of the Colossus (Full Remake PS4)
DeathscytheX replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
I've never played this game, but I will pick it up. It has a pretty big cult following. There are people that still play this game to this day trying to find secrets. I watched a documentary video where a bunch of Colossi were cut from the original games because of the limited hardware and time constraints. A lot of hardcore fans are hoping at least some this content gets restored into this remake. -
-
I'll have a group to play with so if proves to be better than the first I'll buy the first DLC. I doubt I'll get the second. I already told them once Anthem hits, provided its further showings are as spectacular and the details are solid, they can either jump ship or play without me.
-
Sadly Anthem won't be out until Destiny is in its 2nd expansion pack if they follow the same content release schedule. Otherwise I wouldn't give this game a thought. The devs also said they wouldn't be answering what the darkness was in this game which is wierd. I'll buy the base game to give me something to do til GoW/AC7/RDR2. But if they don't answer anything about Rasputin, I'm done with this story.
