These are the lowest IQ threads on this shot board because its all just hyperbole and even when its not hyperbole a games numbers are only relevant relative to what else is going on in the game so unless you name the game and explain why the numbers are bad its just effeminate whining.
>Using any spell increases your damage by +30% and increases your hit chance by +30%>But it also adds a STACKING %HP DoTGuess the game
Surprised by how not-this the new Digimon game is. Hits you with perks like a permanent 20% attack increase for all party members with one of the four personality types, which upgrades to a perk that gives 25%. But it's not an extra 5% on top of the original 20%, it's a full extra 25%. With all 3 levels (20%, 25% and 30%) you're getting 95% increase, and there's a tree like that for each stat.

>>722706050news flash lil niggaroll slop "challenge" runs were never ever impressive
>>722706106You can actually see this happen in real time with trading card games like Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh. Cards early in both series had upsides and downsides. But as the games got bigger and the publishers wanted more money cards became all upside because people will pay more for those.Apparently many people have less fun making strategic choices based on pros and cons versus just getting a pro.
>>722693160Along with what that other anon said about balancing all the shit they throw at you, I think there's a gambling addiction element where making players think there isn't an objective build tricks them into wasting play time "experimenting" with what the devs know is just unbalanced or legitimately useless time wasting disguised as replayability variety.Anyone who objects can just be vaguely told to get good and that they're not doing it right, anyone who just looks up a tier list or asks about Meta is demeaned as a brainless follower, which may not be wrong at times but the point is conditioning people to engage with the mystery box keeps them from simply deducing that its contents are just garbage compared to a more simple choice.
My pet peeveArmor:>percentage damage boosts>buffs stats like vitality, strength, intelligence etc>adds poison, fire, ice etc damage to attacksMaybe I'm autistic but Ihate it when armor adds EVERYTHING except defense, and raw stats piss me off in games where gear has stat requirement for using>play divinity OS2>have 9 STR>wear several pieces of equipment that raises STR>with your new str stat, be able to equip higher STR requirement item>Enemy debuffs your str>this causes you to auto-unequip every single piece of gear that you own because you no longer meet their equip requirementFor a great game, that was probably their dumbest design flaw, and one of the main reasons why I HATE "statstick" gearD&D logic is so retarded sometimes

>>722693515the clearest example that comes to mind is stick of truth, where (because the game's so grossly unfinished) they never accounted for using the early game status effect trinkets on mid-game multi-hit multi-target weapons.
>>722718091Terraria buffs aren't really mandatory though. I would argue they're actually generally well-implemented. If you're fighting a difficult boss, you can invest in potions to prepare for a battle you might otherwise lose. That's good design. I often go into bosses without potion buffs.

>>722737241Yeah poison shoudve had a secondary effect, like delaying enemy poise regen, so Margit begins recharging his poise after 12.3 seconds instead of 6.15, maybe even made them regen at 7.5/s instead of 13/sThough that might have been too good, since poison is pretty trivial to apply if you care to bother, and that would instantly make it worthwhile on any build that wants to stagger bosses (which is most).
>>722707396What the other guy said, but to clarify: at this point in the life of eternal formats it's difficult to have significant "downsides" which aren't somehow synergistic with some other ancient obscurity. Like, you look at cards like Phage or Thoughtlash and go "woah, that's an extreme cost" and an enfranchised sees nothing but degenerate combo pieces. And then even if you print something that's truly dear to play, it just gets used as ammo for Zedruu.

>>722705506You've never played an RPG or even shit like modern horde shooters such as SM2 if you think this kind of garbage doesn't exist
>+3 damage dealt, but damage taken increased by 400%
>>722738460Everyone describes this shit as 5.7% more damage on a Wednesday when you are upside down and making coffee.In practice you've stopped the rotation of Earth so the day never changes while you are playing as the handstanding caffeine addict build.I find its more of a problem that these stat bonuses are either have 100% uptime or 0% uptime purely on build.Then they decide to make the stat bonus pool so fucking diluted by having 20 different versions of bleed, poison, burn damage% bonuses instead of a DOT damage increase when the class with the most amount of DOTs is 2-3.
>turn based game>class can do attacks in a sequence>properly doing sequences does various effects, like giving allies more action points, pushing people around and an AoE attack>the most expensive combo resource-wise makes character dance until their next turn
>repairs durability of all items on charater over time>doesnt actually do anything and the devs dont care to fix it
>>722713909>JSawyer's mod for New Vegas removes certain weapons from certain perks because no fun allowed
>>722743239I don't know about dancing but you'd really like Caligula Effect by what you're describing.
>>722731810Stranger of Paradise does it but the only reason is that you can build to have low-HP effects apply at all times, so if you don't specifically need other stats, damage or defense while near death (<30%) is actually the best filler on your gear because it's got higher than average values (on the basis that it's supposed to be conditional)I think that's a rare counter-case, though, where normally the defensive increase actually requiring you be low HP won't outweigh the fact that you're at low HP. It needs to either be very strong, or scaling, or both, and it never is.
>>722705969He even left a little blood splatter on the boat.
>+20% Thorns Damage at full HP
>>722744196>Health on kill passive>Belly flop into a horde of weak enemies that get one-shot by the thorns.
>>722691739>game has elemental system>it's just using blue gun for red enemies
>level up>stat increases are random>HP+1
>status effects like burn, sleep, poison, paralysis etc exist>they never affect bosses>but bosses can use them on you
>15% chance that after casting Cure, the MP cost for your next Cure II will be 0
>>722744463>post image labelled 'tit monster'>doesn't show her titsdo better anon>-75% bludgeoning damage when hit in the chest>+10 to Persuasion against male characters
>>722693514>Game uses a flat defense system so the 4 hit weapon ends up being worthless
>>722727276I wanted to like the game but I lost my mind at the recycled bosses in that game. Reminded me of dogshit exploration like totk did, find a neat area, proceed with a puzzle or get invested in that area, reskinned boss giving faith garbage or unrewarding gift like 3 arrows or some shit
>>722745251Aah Free Cure.I hate it so fucking much as someone who run Mentor roulette often (working on the 2k mount).The fact that it has been a newbie trap since ARR and SE never deleted that shit is mindblowing.I actually had an AST doing the same shit with Benefic in Stone Vigil.
>>722745362I like that they gave her bigger boobs in the anime but still dislike the fact they made her mini-skirt longer
>>722746670>as someone who run Mentor roulette often (working on the 2k mount)I thank you for your service, wouldn't wish that hell on anyone
>>722747236The things I've seen...A few days ago I had a BLM in a lv 98 dungeon (who was already level 100) doing only the ARR BLM rotation.I didn't even try to say anything because at this point it would either be rage baiting to get my ass banned (that happen pretty often), or just complete fucking disregard for the game and whoever they are playing with...Sadly the later happen way too fucking often too.
>>722693160>Don't SELL THAT ITEM>Let me see those buffs. I want to see what you've done
>>722693160A lot easier to give the player dogshit buffs that change barely anything that balance a game around multiple useful upgrades.
>>722694441Classic JRPG status effects - only work on enemies that you can 1-2shot anyway.
>>722705506Guild Wars 2>-10% damage received for 2 seconds>has a casting time of 1 second
>>722746813They also made all the girls thighs thicker and ribcages thicker.
>>722746813I'm just happy they bothered to animate the jiggle
>>722731810Play paper Mario 64, there is a badge that halves the damage you receive when you have very low HP and it's pretty broken
>>722727276I beat the game with a great sword spamming jump attacks which did tons of damage and staggered everything and thats it, it was that simple.
>>722705506I can tell you now this is from a real game >>722703235, it's from Space Marine 2.
>>722721949quitting weed was easy. coffee is the real end boss.
>>722692171>blue vulvaNobody in the fucking history of mankind has used this. I refuse to accept this mandela effect.
>>722693160Fine, you'll get a 1.5% chance to get one of the good buffs when you're below 50% health and have just used at least two of the bad buffs.
>>722750331sameIt just about makes the series watchable
