    Maybe you could attempt to understand why.

    Pot meet kettle.while you might have read my post, did you actually understand what I meant?

    Then you shouldn't make such a claim.

    Okay, again so I can’t have opinions on the things I do know... great to know!

    You know, really, I’m so happy that everyone can come together to tell me my opinions are wrong and don’t matter. So let me recap... my views are wrong, my experience with the games don’t matter and they can’t be used as reasoning to dislike them, and finally stating my feeling and having strong enough feels to defend them makes me an issue... did I forget anything?

    You can dislike it because of what happened to you in it, but that's not where you're stopping. You're trying to make an objective criticism based on a subjective experience, and when people call you out on it, you hide behind "opinion."

    I’m not stopping because people keep trying to change my mind, after my apologies I truly meant to go no farther on this. But then the “you’re  wrong” sent at me and when people are attacking(this is how I see this) me, would you just give up on your opinions like you never really believed them anyways? If you or anyone else thinks my thoughts are unwarranted or unjust then they can simply ignore them.

    Clearly you've never played Thracia, or pre-GBA at all.

     No I haven’t played any Non-official released FEs

    Maybe, but it's definitely not about whining about hit rates and being nicer to the game that you were luckier in, especially when (to my knowledge) we don't fully know how the RNG actually works in either game.

    If you dislike Fates because you had a bad experience with it, regardless of how it happened, fine. But if you act like it is specifically the fault of Fates that you got unlucky with supposedly high hit rates, that's dishonest, and that's why people are going against you on that.

    No other FE has had the same frequency of those failures. How is stating my honest opinion dishonest? If people think this is just whining then why do they keep trying to argue me? Like I told Sid(in a PM) while Fates isn’t my favorite FE I’m not shittalking it for fun. Do you find constantly failing enjoyable or fun? I find zero issue with judging Fates on my experience of Fates. If the same thing happened to me on the other, maybe, this would be less of a problem. However I do not find failing over and over, a dishonest or unreasonable reason to lower my feeling of a game.

    And yes, if somebody argues that influencing Hitrates in Fates is far outside their control I start to wonder, because it´s the direct opposite to my own experience.

    So you did just say “Yea, I’m looking down my nose at you.” Such altruism, lowering yourself to our level to impart thy wisdom. So tell me, I’m my situation, a swordmaster(paired up with master ninja/support level B) with duelist blow and in +eva terrain, how would you use your infinite wisdom and knowledge to better that match?

    So, are you saying that should you miss 5 hits with above 90% hit rate in Three Houses you would consider it a worse game than you consider is now?

    The thing is, it’s not as problematic in 3H. I generally don’t have to worry about whiffing on it.

    This had less to do with being about fun or challenging yourself, but rather with the many times you will inevitably face enemies that you do not have high hitrates against and low hitrates even with gambits on Maddening difficulty. It was not meant as a sort of “Do YoU EvEn LiFt BrO?” comment.

    This whole thread is about enjoyment, If your opinion is based on challenge and difficulty your enjoyment of it will differ. If you WANT to face bad hit rates is one thing. This whole quote is counterintuitive to the point of the thread.

    Because Fire Emblem Fates gives you a great many ways of dealing with its challenges. On the contrary to hating me, I would go so far and even say Conquest loves the player (just to trigger people though).

     

    However, using these tools requires the player to do some very basic things, I feel.

     

    • checking enemy stats.

       

    • checking enemy skills.

       

    • checking enemy inventories.

       

    • checking enemy positioning, movement range, attack ranges.

       

    • thoroughly looking at the map layout and it´s specifics.

    Now onto some of these tools.

    • stat benchmarks, while not necessarily easy to reach are more lenient due to temporary stat buffs, permanent stat buffs, cooking, pairing up, rallying.

       

    • Fates allows you to use two very, very strong mechanics: Attack and Guard Stance. Some units are tremendously powerful when paired up. Attack Stance on the other hand, is nothing less than a brave attack, allowing you to dispatch enemies without taking damage or be afflicted with debuffs.

       

    • Personal Skills. These have so many different aspects to them. For one there is Niles. Incredible utility. Similarly Elise, Camillas, Corrins, Silas, (Jakobs, Gunther, Felicia in regard to Corrin), Corrins personal skills tremendously boost other units performances. Bennys, Laslows and Effies PS aren´t to be overlooked either.

       

    • Class skills. These are more complicated due to the levels they may be available. But Breaker skills and Rally skills are very powerful (especially on child units). Skills such as Heartseeker, Gentilhomme/Demoiselle, Elbow Room are nothing to forget either.

       

    • I will only shortly mention Staves, as I personally only ever hoard them ☹. But I don´t think it needs explaining why freezing, entrapping and enfeebling an enemy is a useful thing.

     

     

    Do you see where I´m coming from?

    So, have you watched me play? You seem to think that I don’t know how to play FE. If you’re gonna criticize my way of playing a game, that would be more of a PM. The way you’re coming off is that you’re looking down your nose at us(me). I don’t know your experience with the FE series not do you know mine, so I would suggest wording your messages more carefully.

    General Warriors Thread: Persona 5 Scramble

    Well, with Persona 5 Scramble out in Japan, Omega Force can now turn to a new project.

     

    What would you like to see? I'd like to see:

    Fire Emblem Warriors 2

    Xenoblade Warriors

    Trails of Warriors

    Tales of Warriors

    Final Fantasy Warriors (how has this not happened yet)

    Hmm, a little sad they didn’t go Persona Warriors instead. I rather dislike the spinoff squeals, I love Persona but I hated arena. 
    For me a tie between FE Warriors 2 and Trails Warriors would be my picks.

    Soooooo what'cha playing?

    What was disappointing about WO4 Ultimate specifically? Don't you generally know what you're getting with these games?

    Yes, and that is saying something. I love the Warriors games and I just found 4u not as good as its predecessors, 3U is still my favorite Warriors game followed by FEW and then Dynasty Warriors 8 Emps. Infinity mode is a let down, the new characters* are okay but I guess I would rather have the guests back. I might have had a high expectation for it, which is my fault, but it didn’t live up to it.

    Regardless of this there are two things I would like to ask.

     

    1. Do you think, being able to Divine Pulse back in case of an unfavourable combat outcome (e.g. a [possibly critical] attack misses) influences this opinion?

       

    2. Have you taken a dip into TH Maddening difficulty yet?

    1.Divine pulse is a crutch that I do not use, miss once or twice maybe even three times with 97-99 hit is one thing but missing five times with same rates does effect one’s outlook on a game

    2.I play for fun, if you can have fun on maddening more power to you. I feel maddening(and lunatic) take away from the game as you can’t as easily play it the way you want to.

    And let me ask you why, Your mandatory comment has what meaning exactly?

    Soooooo what'cha playing?

    Well, just finished AzurLane crosswave, was a blast but way to short. About to finish Warriors Orochi 4 ult, this was a big letdown. Still glad I got to play Joan again thou. I’m currently playing a mix of Cold Steel 2 and The Caligula Effect overdose, both are great RPGs that have good stories.

    That is not what probability means nor how it works, mate. Your perception has nothing to do with probability.

    Take a simpler example and toss a coin. It is perfectly possible that you get tails twice, or thrice, even five times in a row; but the probability of getting tails will always be 50 %, and it is independent of your results. It is 50 % because a coin lands on one side and there are two sides.
    Mathematics does tell you that if you repeated the experiment infinitely, the occurrence of the two possible results will match that 50 % chance.
    In the case you described, you did not try the experiment a high enough number of times to see the occurrence match the probability, or you simply “had bad luck.” There were 97 red marbles and 3 black ones; you got a black one. More than once, you say. But the probability of getting it was, is, and will be 3 %, regardless of what you got, get or will get.

    I read your message stating that you were trying to give an opinion, even though your phrasing did not express this idea. And I am only telling you this hoping that, in the future, you will have a lighter time dealing with “probabilities.”
    Every action we take every day has a probability of success, and the immense majority of results are not guaranteed. We simply do not see the percentages.

    Every single outcome in FE it technically 50/50 you succeed or you fail. you're right, sure that might not be "probability" but still regardless constantly failing do to thing far outside of my control is a reasonable reason to dislike something no? Perception has got to do with everything, you "perceived" my intention show as much. My time dealing with "probability" can and does impact my view of games.

    Oh and "I am only telling you this hoping that you have a lighter time dealing "experiences"

    THAT'S HOW PROBABILITY WORKS. The chance that something might happen is NOT a guarantee of how often it will actually happen. Seriously, what is the problem?

    The problem is you won’t simple admit that this is my opinion, I was attempting to explain why this is one of the causes that Fates is worse then 3H. You are trying to argue someone’s experience, that is inviting conflict.

    What are your primary gaming motivations?

    And it's true. Bragging rights are shallow. No one cares that you beat Sekiro or Dark Souls, except for maybe yourself. And if you do not care, what's the point in having a worse time?

    Yup, to quote a certain someone “Git gud is all well and good, but only if your having fun getting good”. That is generally the motto I go by.

    hat's just probability. Hell, I missed a 90% attack in 3H just the other day. The only time you're guaranteed to hit is at 100%. The only time you're guaranteed to miss is at 0%.

    When you miss high 90s multiple times in the same stage and get hit by single digits multiple times in the same stage... when does probability actually goes off chances.
