>You don't get to win because...BECAUSE I SAID SO OK???UghMy fault for not playing a solved game the solved way. Another game ruined by an obsession with "Meta" and "optimal runs"
>>719783326lmao OP is a lucklet.
>filtered by the wall>not even early in the game where it can actually be a threat, but on 7th ante>on white stake to bootYou're just bad at the game.
>>719783434no the game is bad and solved and I made the mistake of not watching the same "Optimal Balatro Play" video that everyone else has
>>719783326... are you mad because you thought you could go the entire game ignoring mult multers?
>>719783473How come you didn't come up with a good strategy then? Maybe you're just bad?
How are you meant to get those crazy scores in ante 12+? I managed to get joker up to x8 or something and a joker than mimics it and that got me to 12 to unlock something but I was way off the next one
>>719783326>abstract joker and raised fist on ante 8lollmao
>>719783473Why come here to cry. I beat this game using double pairs you just abuse whatever you see when it pops up like pulling more packs.Stop complaining here that you are an idiot. Imagine needing a guide for Baltoro lol
>>719783653Balatro players are so unbearably smug I'm supposed to know what this means?
>>719783768>Imagine needing a guide for Baltoroyou clearly did tho
>>719783860Instead of getting offended try and figure it out. From his post, you should be able to assume that the two cards he mentions might not be suitable for higher value antes.
>>719783326Its so funny how this entire board hates Balatro until I make a negative post about. Then everyone loves it. A constant need to be contrarian to what OP is saying is the main thing that makes this board unusable. Like I know what you people think, I know how you behave. Why do you always disagree with me then?
>>719783326Why didn't you reroll for better jokers if you knew you couldn't beat the blinds?
>>719783929Its more that no lifers who have played this game for so many hundreds of hours to the point where they can look at a Joker and know what it does and whether or not its "optimal" (ugh) is really really annoying.
>>719784065Why should I have do do that? My build was getting me more than enough points to beat every previous ante. Better question is why the game decided to be a complete fucking cunt and give me something that was literally impossible for be to beat? How is that justifiable? This is the lowest stake and if this level of cuntiness and unjustifiable unfairness is something thats consistent thru the whole game I'm fairly confident in just labeling it as a bad game and moving on.
>>719783653>decide to check balatro speedrun on agdg>guy keeps resetting>haa haa we are getting unlucky lets try the other deck>guy keeps resetting again>lets go back to the previous deck, getting a little unlucky hereYeah, ok. Just because 1 out of 100 seeds is winnable on high difficulty, does not mean the game is not a rng fest that WILL fuck you over.
>>719783326>28 dollars>know you wont be able to win and don't at least try to look for xmultyou suck. why should anyone beat a game with only common jokers that don't even scale? what sort of game would that be if every single combination of jokers would win
>>719784239>what sort of game would that be if every single combination of jokers would winone that I would actually enjoy playing
>>719784310maybe they can add a story difficulty for this roguelite. when is the update anyways?
>>719784239>what sort of game would that be if every single combination of jokers would winUnironcally this would take a level of game design and planning that's so clever and genius Im not surprised the Balatro dev isn't capable of it and instead takes the lazy route of just putting in a few good ones among all the other useless ones. It isn't clever to waste the players time.
>>719784361You joke but the Story Mode in Vampire Survivors is actually harder than the main game
>complaining about "meta" in a single player gamemaybe get off the internet for a bit
>>719784421>its clever to make a game where there is literally no way to losewhy do you unironically think this? the game does let clever players with a plan win with complete dogshit. but that isn't what you are talking about, because the game already does that. you can get to ante 9 with the base +4 joker. the game isn't perfect but i would argue that a lot of effort went into balancing the game.
>>719783326if this was purple stake violet vessel I'd get it, that blind can genuinely invalidate otherwsie good runs. but you're playing white stake on the deck that immediately solves your economy.
>>719783473 Beating gold stake on every deck without watching a single Balatro vid is perfectly doable by using your brain>>719784231Virtually all seeds are beatable on high stakes tho
>>719784489story mode != story difficulty
>>719784679>"virtually all stakes are beatable...with prior knowledge of the seed"And how is this meant to be compelling gameplay?
>>719783642retrigger effects combined with on scoring xmult jokers and glass (idol, triboulet, baron, bloodstone, ancient joker)
>>719783473Anon, you built your deck
>>719784743Without prior knowledge of the seed, why would you imply this? High win rates on gold stake are entirely possible
>>719784815Thanks. I'll try and bear those in mind
>>719784679high stake seeds are only all possible to beat if you know what to expect. i have had several gold stakes runs end in the first ante because i was searching for a single jack for a straight and it never happened. but if i replayed the seed over and over again i might find out theres a 4 of a kind for 3 or a fullhouse for 6 and 9. i don't think thats fair to say most gold stake runs are beatable. that relies on prior knowledge rather than an intuitive understanding of the game
>>719784842...no? Everything the game gives me is random I have no way of knowing whats actually going to be useful.
>>719783326>90% of all hands in all runs are full houses
>noooo but the meta!!!
>>719784910First ante can usually be cleared with flush, it's significantly more consistent to assemble than trying to look for a straight or full house. It might be boring but it works as an ante1 solution.
>>719785036I'm not sure what you're trying to demonstrate here outside of white stake being an easy clear
>>719785036>nothing but xmult and retriggersuh, that is the meta. you might have found it naturally
>>719784910>>719785086Resetting the game over and over until it lets you win is objectively unfun and bad game design :/ Imagine if you had to reset Super Mario Bros over and over again because sometimes Mario spawns over an open pit and instantly dies.
>>719785202The OP is on white stake?
>>719785234yeah could you also imagine having to retry a difficult boss over and over because it keeps killing you. a game like that would never become popular...
>All the jokers in the wrong orderngmi but keep looking more excuses than yourself.
>>719785234i don't restart, i start a new run. the difference being that the appeal of balatro is that you never know what type of bullshit you will have to deal with but are forced to adapt. i love that the game always develops.
>>719785376what are you talking about? he has nothing but +mult and +chips, and +chips can be in any order. it literally doesn't matter if +chips are at the very end, xmult only effects +multholy shit im autistic
>>719785202Hopefully the next update adds stakes to the challenges.
>>719785376the joker order doesn't matter in the OP image because there is no xmult
>>719785362Souls Slop and Elden Shit are fucking boring too.
>>719785376Again, proving my post >>719783860 correct. What does "Jokers in the wrong order" mean. Cmon, use your big boy words
>>719785234 That's unfair criticism imo, having to reset over and over for a lucky seed was never my experience. I don't mean this in a condescending way, the game might not be for you and that's fine.
>>719785668that post is incorrect because the op joker order doesn't matter. however, if you have a xmult joker, then it should be as far right as possible. if you don't set your jokers up like that, and for example had it on the far left, then you would only multiply your hand +mult.say you have a x3 mult, a +4 mult, and a +4 mult hand.if x3 mult was on the far left, it would be 16.if x3 mult was on the far right, it would be 24 +multmany jokers are a much bigger gap than this example
>>719785687you're being disingenuous picrel is proof
>>719785668jokers trigger from left to right during the end of the scoring phase. with this in mind it's always best to place jokers that score +mult before jokers that score xmult, because you want the +mult added to the sum before the final multiplication.
>>719785853Behold the post that proves how big of faggots Balatro players are. Holy moly dude you memorized this?
>>719785938yeah, i play the game every day on my phone
>>719785902Holy fuck that is annoying. Nope no nuh uh too many factors to keep track off too much bad luck that can ruin me even if I am doing all these dumb little tricks. TY /v/ for once again convincing me to not play a video game
>>719785853>>719785902It should always be the same no matter the order tho?? This doesn't make any sense
>>719786030the game follows PEMDAS rules
>>719785978obviously bait because order of operations is taught to children when they're 10 years old. unless arithmetic for children is too challenging for you?
>>719786030I have a +10 mult joker and a x2 mult joker, with 15 base mult.15+10x2= 5015×2+10=40 I'm not sure how to make this any simpler
>>719786169Why is the game putting them in an order that gives me a less optimal score tho, once again the game is being unfair to me
>>719786372because that gives the player some agency to effect the game which makes it more interesting
>>719786169You're wrong tho?
>I still haven't unlocked StuntmanHelp me.
>>719786372the dev of the game is purposely targeting you and intentionally made it this way just to specifically piss you off. he plans to escalate soon and begin stalking you on real life.
>>719786476sorry, the game doesn't use PEMDAS. it works sequentially from left to right, my apologies for the confusion
>>719785853>>719786062>>719786073>>719786169>>719786597
>>719786674I look like this and emote like this but have different colour eyes
>>719786674holy guacamole, its me
>>719783326>I've played a game of chance and lost, I'm now going to have a melty about itSome people just aren't cut out for this lifestyle
>>719785876>people who are bad at the game would rather rely on luck factorsWOAH stop the presses!
>>719786768What color are your eyes?
>>719787062one is violet and the other is deep crimson red
I stopped playing balatro because it's just too easy to build 5 of a kind and 5 flush. There's no reason to play anything else even on higher stakes unless you wanna go endless but I don't find endless fun.
>spare trousers>supernovayep. it's two pair time.
>>719787843>5 of a kindWhy bother when it only gives 5 chips a planet more than 4oaK?
>>719787843How is easy?
>>719786169>pemdasunless balatro doesn't work that way I don't play it
>black stake or higher>madness joker appears in ante 1
>>719783326Anon, if you can't generate a million points by round 7, you're doing something wrongTry taking more tarot packs instead of replacing your jokers over and over
>>719788413it simply triggers in the order you place the cards in
>>719788413Effects are triggered left to right, the final multiplication happens last
>>719789040>>719789245appreciate not just raping my ignorance, good looks /v/irgins
>>719783473>solvedWhy do you "people" keep throwing that word around so much?
>>719783473I have competitionist++ on the game without watching any videos.Only gold stake is bullshit RNG, you're just bad.
