Disappointed for Oscar, he deserved the win today but now it's gonna feel like it was given rather than earned. That being said, am really happy for him getting his first win on the board, and I'm sure it won't be the last for him, he's driving really well and the McLaren car is performing vs the competition at the moment.
I heard the commentary team say he's the only driver this season to be in every lap all season, which definitely doesn't hurt either.
I didn't mind the knockback part honestly. I'm more worried about the part before it where you've got to remember which spot is safe, when it's safe, and whether it gets hit once only or more than once.
Thankfully wasn't an issue the first time around for me but I feel it will be at some point.
But yeah, the hearts mechanic, specifically the AOEs and moving hearts, I need some work there 😅
They're fun fights I think. I found the second one the most annoying personally, the mechanic where you have the hearts over your head and then the arena is flooded with AoEs and random hearts moving out from the middle has tripped me up a few times so far, I haven't intuitively found the safe path through it yet. Rest of it was good though!
I think I'll have to run through them again a couple of times just to get comfortable with everything but definitely enjoyed the tier, and the story is a bit of fun too.
Was looking for this. The crossover randomiser of Link to the Past and Super Metroid is a masterpiece, and if you like one or both of the games it provides you with a new way to have the complete the game every time you play it.
Add in the different flavours like entrance randomiser (where not only are the items shuffled but the doors you enter don't go where they normally go), or keysanity (where keys don't stay in their dungeons and can instead be anywhere) and it turns what was already a great SNES area game into something you can play over and over again.
Someone crunched the numbers and worked out this was cheaper than dealing with people wanting refunds of their DLC content when the main game was delisted.
I can't speak to the Xbox stuff but for the most part I feel the Dawntrail launch has gone really well. Yes, there's some bugs, that's usually inevitable for a launch of this size, but the only game breaking one I've seen was Syrcus Tower which was fixed in under 24 hours without bringing the game down for maintenance.
But I don't think there's been anywhere near as many queuing issues as there was in Endwalker, and while I'm only just past the first dungeon in the MSQ the only issues I've seen (other than ST) have been cosmetic.
Nice, that's good to know. Problem of course is can you coordinate that in alliance roulette instead of people just voting abandon as more people discover the problem.
You can also cheese it with resurrection, the raise invul blocks curtain call damage. But since everyone else is then dead you need a strategy to revive people afterwards.
Also a lot of the potency increases aren't just always there, they're based on new traits you get in the level 91-100 range, so you won't see those increases immediately in most cases, you have to level up and get the new job trait.
Honestly probably just watch some TV or get some extra work done, although if you're looking for a game to play, the remastered version of Beyond Good & Evil came out this week. Been probably 20 years since I played it originally but I remember it being a fun game with a great cast and musical score.
I'm hoping the queuing isn't as bad this time. People forget that since Endwalker they've actually done some work on the queuing stuff and the disconnects during queuing (admittedly after a network engineer who played the game was able to comprehensively demonstrate there was issues in the game's netcode causing the disconnects, but still). And they've added in the extra servers as well to help with the initial surge that you'd expect will happen.
That's not to say there won't be queues of course but I'm not expecting it to be as bad as EW was.
