Because i read that it is the 100s of small hits that causes CTE, thats why American Football and Boxing have a big CTE risk? But what about big hits? At the same time people call Power Slap one of the worst sports for CTE, even if you take max 3 hits in a match. How do few big hits cause CTE compared to 100s of small hits?
What a trainwreck that game was.
I am actually curious myself. And for the Reform voters here are you voting Reform for tactical reasons (that is you agree more with Restore, but you want anything other than Liblabcongreen so you vote Restore) or do you vote Reform because you found Restore to be too far right?
Personally i agree more with Restore but would still vote Reform until they get into power, then i would vote Restore in every other election afterwards. It is way easier to be critical of a party after they got power than when said party is itself in opposition. If Reform disappoints while in power then Restore will get a lot of Reform voters. So i believe the right tactic is to vote Reform until they get into power.
One thing i noticed is that extraction shooters in general are losing a lot of players. Arc Raiders keep losing more and more players and Marathon is the same. Unlike with something like MOBAs where LoL was insanely popular for years before it dropped in popularity (and with MOBAs you have Mobile Legends and Honor of Kings on the mobile side that are super popular as well) and Dota 2 still have a solid playerbase as well.
Survivorlikes (modelled after Vampire Survivors) Keep getting made and get a solid stable playerbase.
Platformers are as popular as ever.
Action RPGs of the Diablolike/PoElike variety also keeps getting make and are very popular today
Battle Royale games are still very popular this many years after. While PUBG PC is not very popular today, PUBG Mobile is insanely popular to this day and while Fortnite lost a good number of players, they lost the players after many years rather than like 7 months
On the other hand the drop from all the extraction shooters this fast are something not seen in other genres that turned super popular. So do you think the extraction shooter genre is a fad? Or will it just be a niche genre that will stabilize after a few more months?
Both games will offer online tennis. Will there still be an online playerbase left for MTF?
Rarely i see my opponent or me shoot the ball out or hit a body shots. With body shots i think you can counter them by better timing, but outs feel random.
Was actually interesting to learn this from the RWS commentators as i did not know that. Are those numbers the same in ONE and Thai Fight League?
Wanted to play something different and while i am not the biggest tennis fan, i wanted a PvP game on my newly Switch 2 outside of Mario Kart World. This game looked fun from gameplay on YouTube so i picked it up. My feedback from like 6h of gameplay
Adventure mode is a good tutorial but there are barly much to it after that. I liked the Golden Sun games and to my understanding the GBC game had a RPG adventure mode, but i assume those adventure modes were far longer. Like 2/3 of the adventure mode is just a glorfied tutorial. It is a very good tutorial IMO for someone new to the series, but i can easily see veterans being bored of it. For me i learned a lot from the single player so far, so MTF does a great job at teaching newbies and preparing them for online.
Surprised there are a lot of depth to this game. While Mario Kart World is very easy to learn and outside of Time Trails are very easy to almost master because the game is like 85 procent luck and 15 procent skill, i feel like MTF is like 90 procent skill. I am surprised that MTF is so skill based as it is, while still rather casual and easy to pick up, the depth surprises me myself. I expected a far more casual game that i got, not like i mind it at all.
Trail Towers seems fun, i wonder if it can feel truly different from standard MTF tennis in the different modes
Not tried Mix It Up yet but seems like a good pick up and play mode, i will try it today.
Not tried Swing mode either, i guess that is for those that miss tennis in Wii Sports?
Feels very polished and well made, but seems to be a very online focused game. MTF is only worth it if you want to play competitive PvP, otherwise there are too little content here for the price Luckily i am in that group that picked it up for the PvP, so i think i will no doubt get my money worth
One person in a different post mentioned you can change controls and after changing the controls so zl is lob and RL is drop it becomes a lot easier. Had small problems remembering if down left was lob or drop.
A lot of chars and rackets with different stats and skills, i wonder how balanced it all is and how different it really changes your playstyle
8,5/10 so far
This is something i found weird. Indie pro wrestlers dont go for BKFC while there are very few former UFC fighters in Power Slap. Why dont any of the indie pro wrestlers try their hand in BKFC? Are they just not interested?
The game plays really well and is optimized well as well. It would be a great game if not for one major problem, the greed is insane and ruins the game
So RM got three types of car types that each got their own gacha. Standard, Sports and Extreme. Standard got a spark system where if you do 120 pulls you buy the car with that currency and every 100 times on a banner you got 25 procent chance of getting the target car (outside the hard pity)
Sports cars work the same as Standard expect with a spark of 160 pulls
And Extreme got a spark system of 240
Spark DONT carry over to next banner
Now for the truly bad parts. To play ranked you need one of each car, as every match you get a random car type mode (so like 1/3 matches will be using the Standard type car you prepicked before the match and 1/3 matches will be using the Sports type car you picked before the match and 1/3 matches will be using the Extreme type car you prepicked before the match)
Basically you NEED one of each type of car to play RM, you cant choose only to play and focus on one type of car while ignoring the others
It gets even worse
Cars have a dupe system called ECU that boost all stats of cars including top speed. You need 5 dupes for ECU5 to max out one car (have fun with that with Xtreme type cars with 240 spark) As RM is a PvP game, have fun racing against ECU5 cars with your ECU0 car
Now for the truly awful part about RM. The power creep. Some gacha games are trying to prevent power creep, Morimens buffs older chars, FGO does the same (to my understanding from posts here, never played) and in other games like Snowbreak or Horizon Walker older chars are very good (in Snowbreak chars like Jade Arc and supports are still top tier to this day) In Horizon Walker chars like Olivia, Juha, Fammene are still amazing to this day.
RM is different. Every season (lasts for like 2 months) there will be 3 new car gachas that power creeps the old cars. This happens every single season with no exception. So the car you spent 100s of dollars or like 30 usd and 6 months (monthly price) maxing to ECU5 will be tier 2 the next season. And while that car is still very much playable and skill do matter, note that you are only going to play that car 1/3 matches.
And the costume gacha looks stingy as well. I would not mind it if the rest of the game was not this greedy. I like good looking costumes in gacha games and the costumes in RM seems great. But because of the above, the costume gacha is only for super whales
Sad that a really good game otherwise is ruined by this level of greed.
The racing feel in NTE and Racing Master feels very similar. So i highly recommend NTE racing over RM because the former is very low on the p2w scale (pay2skip currency grind) and the later is far more p2w. NTE also got a Crazy Taxi game mode if you are into that. As well as a whole other game that plays like ZZZ.
I am watching RWS right now and the title fight main event winner got a KO bonus of 200.000 baht and a total fight win of 375.000 baht. This equals to 11.597 usd. To get to the point where you are winning title matches by KO in RWS you need several years of training
Jake Hager who never did Power Slap (a very simple sport that takes very little training) got 20k usd (starting pay is 5k/5k with a 10k KO bonus) for his first Power Slap bout.
Why do RWS pay so little? Their stadiums are full every week and i bet a lot watches RWS in Thailand, so i dont get the low pay at all. Even less so when a dumb meme sport promotion by one of the most stingy persons in sports when it comes to athlete pay and yet he pays more than RWS.
Is cost of living really that low in Thailand that people accept it? Or am i missing something really important?
It is your typical 3 hero skill swap heroes gacha comparable to HI3rd and many other games, only difference is that other games do this with an ARPG combat feel, while SB learns more into being a shooter (some heroes do feel more ARPG than shooter such as Tempest however) There are nothing wrong with it by itself, outside of the clunky cover system. I dont get why people call it bad or meh.
The problem is that the core gameplay dont do the game justice because it is so easy it is not even funny. I wish for hard modes to come back and/or a super hard mode where you clear a stage with just one hero and like Diablo/PoE the mobs have random bonuses (think maps)
The bosses are actually fun and well designed in SB if you go in with weaker heroes, but that direction of the game failed i guess. Destiny Rising that went for that direction is also not doing very well afaik, so maybe ML waifus are the only way for something like this to succeed? I do wish for little optimal very hard content outside of the damage rush ranked mode.
In Denmark we always call it a penalty shot and that makes sense, because like football/soccer it is a penalty that you get in the same way. But everyone else here use the term 7 meter shot. I like the term penalty shot a lot more, 7 meter shot just sound like any shot from the 7 meter. Is it only in Denmark people call it a penalty shot?
Erolabs got a lot of pure porn games and softcore games like Horizon Walker. Zero censorship at all. Erolabs should just publish SB so they can have a fully uncensored SB for most of the world to play.
What of those games and eras do you think does the best job as people's first JRPG?
NES era (Final Fantasy 1, Dragon Quest/Warrior, Phantasy Star if on Sega Master System) The start, Dragon Quest 1 is a really simple game, but it is far too grindy to play. I think it is hard for me to see what it was like for people to play DQ1 as the first JRPG as a kid, if anyone did that please say it below. FF1 was a lot better and i can see people finding it a big magical game at that time. Did people call Nintendo Power a lot or just tried to figure out the game themselves
The weird easy mode dumbed down SNES era. With games like Final Fantasy ll (everyone knows it is 4, but i am talking about the bad dumbed down SNES game titled FFII) and FF Mythic Quest, JRPGs was super easy to get into. But I wonder if it was so easy that people got bored with them. Even as a child I bet i would have thought that FFMQ is too simple and boring
The PSX/1 era with FF7. I bet that was a really magical game for those people. But I wonder if all the text and story was too much for some kids or if they managed to beat it anyway
Pokemon red/blue era. This was the first JRPG for many kids. I think a lot just grinded at the grass areas so they can beat the stuff, but getting a lot of different Pokemons on your team and playing it in general must be a magical experience
PS2 era with FFX. Same as PSX era, but FFX is even more linear and story driving than FF7. I wonder how many kids had the patience for that game, the first 2 hours is mostly story.
Other eras I assume it was just the Pokemon games for that generation like with GBA/NDS/3DS
Gacha era with Honkai Star Rail and Fate Grand Order. Easy games to get into, but with some gacha BS. 100s of hours of story if you like them however
I think I prefer Pokemon Red/Blue era. If you started with FF6 SNES or Secret of Mana I would prefer that, but Mythic Quest was too easy and simple even for beginners. The NES era was just too confusing and the PS2 era was just too cutscene/story focused for kids imo. Red/Blue was easy to get into with a simple story but unlike FFMQ had a lot of meat and stuff to do in the game. Gold/Silver was a big sequel that added so much stuff to Pokemon.
Dana White really wants indie wrestlers in Power Slap. Because they take a lot of hits and get low pay for it. So the standard 5k/5k with a 10k bonus that Power Slap offers is good for them
