Given a choice between defense and attack, I'm more likely to pick defense since I am not good at avoiding damage in games.

That being said,

Anyways the answer is level Luck/Crit because it's the most fun.

is the correct answer in games where luck actually does something.

I went through all of Bowser's Inside Story only leveling up Luigi's and Mario's mustache stat. The only regret I have with that game is that I didn't realize that if you pick the same stat each time, the game will lower the amount you get if you continue picking that stat, so I don't know if I would have had more stache by occasionally popping a level in another stat or not.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

Jay Rust posted:

When I was a young gamer, unable to decide whether to level up my attack stat or my defence stat, my gamer friend put it thusly: “would you rather have a normal amount of health but defeat enemies in one hit, or deal a normal amount of damage but be invincible”, and to this day I don’t know the correct answer

It depends too much on the game. How big are encounters? Do enemies use a lot of status effects? I usually pick attack over defense because wounded enemies are just as deadly as fresh ones, but dead enemies don’t do poo poo.

There’s a game called Tactical Nexus that’s very much about this question. Your decision to pick up a +1 Def item on floor 1 could be the deciding factor to whether you can beat floor 10.

imo the best defense is a good offense. If I end the fight quicker I don't have time to make mistakes

So freeflow combat is gone, instead we get the generic industry standard 3 light hits or hold for heavy hit melee, no counters, just dodge, and presumably predator encounters are out too, and the gameplay in this video was GODAWFUL, so Im confused on what im supposed to be excited for.

The ladder picture makes me hope that there are good object collision physics. It was disappointing to see the WWE games have wrestlers just slide to the side when they're close to something.

Wrestling games should pretend that everything about wrestling canon is real, like Undertaker being undead and his nemesis being a tall man with no skin (?), or any other magic stuff

When is NetherRealms going to finally announce Injustice 3? Or are they no longer working on that series? its been awhile since Mortal Kombat XI came out and NR stopped supporting it, so I would have thought they would announce their next game already.

Car Stealth! Car Platforming! Car Combat!

I don't remember if there were any Car Detective bits but it wouldn't surprise me. I remember a section where you had to fight about 1000 enemy cars and it felt like it took a half hour. I really didn't care for that game.

There's one bit where you have to chase a villain with a jetpack while in the car. Also at least two bosses you have to use the car to fight

And yeah, fighting tanks with the car unlocks as a world event late in the game, and some of them go on forever

from what i understand, we know that they're working on something but they haven't said what it is yet, and probably won't reveal it until the Game Awards (because evo is not a big enough event)

WoL soloing bosses like that being canon is very cool imho because I play as a white mage for almost all the story dungeons/trials

Soloing bosses is usually not canon though
In main story trials all the time the npcs vaguely allude to forming parties or grabbing like-minded adventurers.

Hell, when you get to the very first bossfight in the ARR story (Ifrit) and you're stuck in a cave with nothing but the bossroom entrance there's even an NPC right there who is like "hey i found a secret path out you should go form a party to frag this boss and then come back"

Always go for Attack over Defense.

If you deal more damage, the boss will die faster and thus hit you less, it's just pure math.
