Is this a post similar to those that complain the game is too hard? I can’t tell. Like I play Diablo 4 So i can be braindead, I play poe 2 for a challenge. If defense is “first” (it’s not, it doesn’t rotate like that. You can put stats into defense) then every squishy character can just soak up damage, and that would be Diablo 4 levels of boring.
The best defense is a good offense. Enemies can’t hurt you if they’re dead.
The other side of that coin is dead dps is no dps. If you can’t survive, you need to learn mechanics and/or adjust your build so you can survive better.
Keeping both of these lines of thought in mind, offense usually wins out over defense because killing faster results in more enemies dying, faster clear times, and bigger numbers, which most people tend to prefer. Defensive stats/skills lose value when they’re not being used, where offensive stats/skills always have value.
I’m pretty sure the design intent was to make your first level of defense learning mechanics and using the dodge roll. If you can do that consistently you can just pump damage and speed, which is what everyone wants to do anyway.
If your kill things before they can hit you, defence is worthless
And that comes from a guy who almost always plays as a tank
Too few games now (from all I’ve been playing) care about tanking, one of the few exception I’ve seen is Warframe, because they crank up everything to 11 (DPS, crowd control, tanking, …)
I had to look, but it boots into retro arch which i believe uses Mupen64. I use Emudeck to automatically configure everything though, so i can’t say with 100% faith since i didn’t set it up myself
The image features a character named Lotide from an unreleased video game. Additional information regarding Lotide: Lotide is a furry, orange, raccoon-like character wearing a blue and green outfit. Lotide is holding a fan made of leaves. The character appears to be in a forest or grassy environment. Lotide is also the name of a British electronic music duo. “Low tide” refers to when the sea reaches its lowest level.
This is “Raccoo,” the main character from the indie 3D platformer Raccoo Venture (developed by Diego Ras). In the game, you can unlock different outfits for Raccoo—one of which is the blue, Eastern-inspired costume shown here, complete with the little floating lantern companion.
It’s one of the easiest to pick up and play imo. There’s no bad tracks so just select a cup and you’re guaranteed to have a good time with or without friends
Got this for Christmas in 1997 and it blew my mind. Had an NES with super mario bros, and had never heard of an N64 before we got it, and the leap was just staggering at the time. Went to bed dreaming of mario kart lol
Game is pretty fun but once you beat gold stake it’s just an exercise in frustration. I lose most runs just because the game won’t give me anything decent to buy, not because I didn’t play correctly.
Yeah I was talking about for mere mortals. I’m no card counter but like I said, I beat gold stake so I’ve played a fair bit. I’m trying to finish out some of the other decks now and just find it tedious on the final stakes.
Of course there’s always somebody out there that can make any game look as easy as breathing. See: Guy who just beat every dark souls game back to back without leveling up or getting hit, once.
Having played almost every beta release, I assumed the full game would have had a different curve to it. I was expecting that by the end of the run my deck would be unrecognizable
