Mewtwo and the aformentioned Zacian are, in my opinion, the two most powerful offensive threats. Its extremely wide coverage makes it difficult to truly counter, and can force shields off just about anything It has singlehandedly brought Metagross out of retirement. A premier offensive threat, Zacian is a Fairy that can destroy Steel-types, forcing Yveltal/Dragon + Steel cores to adapt. Nonetheless, it is undoubtedly the league’s most splashable Pokemon, though not necessary to build a good team.īut Zacian is a Pokemon eyeing for the throne. Dialga can feel a little underwhelming at times due to constant targets pointed at it, and sometimes feels like a teambuilding crutch. Although numerous checks and counters have been introduced since GBL’s initial release, Dialga continues to remain the king of Master League (Classic or not) simply due to the sheer number of threats it keeps in check. Regice, Regirock, Rhyperior, Shadow Gardevoir, Shadow Tyranitarĭialga does not need much of an explanation. Garchomp, Mamoswine, Shadow Mewtwo, Snorlax (both), Zekrom This is for MLC only do not use this for Premier Cup.Įxcadrill, Landorus-I, Metagross, Palkia, Yveltal, Zarude It is not meant for ML Drafts or very specific ML rulesets. They’re difficult to build cores with, but nonetheless possess certain unique strengths that keeps them viable. A little bit of crazy is required to run these. Though not as meta defining as the S-A tier mons due to having more glaring weaknesses, these Pokemon are still very powerful and can be built into strong cores.Ĭ: Niche. These are the Pokemon that, in my opinion, define the MLC meta the most, and I ordered them within tiers to reflect this.ī: Strong-mid, ordered alphabetically. S-A: Core-semi core, ordered within tiers. Since this tier list is a personal take, it is by no means a gospel. There’s also only one more week of MLC for the season, as MLPCC will take its place in the next rotation. ML(C) has generally been my favorite league for a few seasons now and I want to give out some of my thoughts on what the meta is like. Hi, I’m Jibaku, and I made Legend (and simultaneously, the leaderboard) earlier on Friday playing Master League Classic. Or Viability Rankings, if you’d rather call it that. A beautifully seductive girl leaves them weak kneed and malleable. Men have one terrible weakness unless they are poofs and that is their testosterone. Flint then infiltrates by parachute the enemy base in the Virgin Islands!The finale is somewhat unbelievable but entertaining nonetheless as Woman Power overcomes all the male bad guys. Can one man make a difference? YES! There are times throughout history when one man can and has made a difference.The scene where Flint in a delightful sendup of Fiel Castro hijacks the Russian plane enroute to Havana is great! He pretends to give 2 live chickens to the pilots and then ties them up, literally. Not for long when Our Man Flint appears and soon all the bad guys get what they so richly deserve. Shades of Saddam Hussein! The women think they have everything in control but it is the US Army officer who they think are under their thumb that has the upper hand. In the story,the President of the USA is replaced by a look alike under the control of the real No.1 bad guy. I just love the scene when his Boss asks him what happened to the 4 girls he used to have and Flint answers nonchalantly, "I'm trying to cut down". With bare hands and improvised weapons, Flint overcomes all. The two big fight scenes are very well done. The Karate is Hollywood showy but can be used in real life and death situations. The fight scene is very exciting and in real life, James Coburn had martial arts training from Bruce Lee himself, and it shows. James Coburn in a send up of Fidel Castro is super and must not be missed. Derek comes to the rescue of Cramden with exciting and hilarious results. Discredited and suspended, he desperately calls for Flint's help. Cobb is set up by the sexy No.2 henchwoman in a honey trap after being drugged with a powerful narcotic in an Italian restaurant. No, he's not a poofter but he is in disguise. Cobb is very funny as his Boss and you even get to see him in drag at one point. After Flint, well, Bond is kind of.boring if you know what I mean. Derek Flint is one of a kind with his gadgets, beautiful girls, Karate, Ballet dancing, deductive mind plus sheer audacity, extreme resourcefulness and extreme coolness under fire. Each time you finish the drift trial, you will get approximately 12,000 credits (17,000 credits if you sell the Speed card), 120,000 REP, and a Speed card. This event can be completed in 90 seconds, and since it is a circle, you finish at the start and can instantly replay it. It is the perfect farming spot for money, REP, and Speed cards. It becomes unlocked early in the game, when you do drift trials for the first time. The fastest event in the game is the "Drifting The Block" drift trial. Since all events give almost identical rewards regardless of the difficulty, just keep repeatedly completing the shortest events. To get a lot of money, REP, and Speed cards quickly, complete short events. There are a lot of other cars that can reach that top speed with speed upgrades. Try using the Koenigsegg, which is quite expensive but allows you reach the 240 mph without any upgrades. To reach the top speed of 240 mph, you need to be near the end of the main story and unlock a car that can be upgraded to 399. With some practice and an upgraded BMW M5, it is not too hard to do this. At high speeds, even just tapping the handbrake for a split second can get you 10,000+ points on a straight road. Drift at every bend in the road, not just at big turns. However, using nitro will freeze the multiplier - so use nitro between drifts to keep the multiplier up. The multiplier increases whenever you are drifting and drops when you are not (so long drifts are beneficial). Your drift score is a combination of speed and drift angle. If you are having difficulties, try upgrading the car. If you are short on points, pause the game before the finish line and select "Restart" to try again. It may take a few tries to get 350,000 points. It is the longest drift trial, where you can earn the most points. It is the final drift race in the game, unlocked in Chapter 4 after completing all other drift trials. Only the BMW M5 works for this achievement. Make sure to buy the M5 and not a different BMW. Easy "Driving The Incredible" achievementįirst, progress to the end of Chapter 4, which is when the BMW M5 becomes available for purchase at the Drift Dealership (dealership is marked on the world map with a green icon).Just practice the race a few times to get the hang of it. Otherwise, your opponents will catch up to you and potentially crash into you from behind. The sooner you take the lead, the better. The trickiest part is not hitting any opponents as they tend to drive recklessly. Most importantly, try passing all opponents at the first bend in the road. If you hit something other than street signs, restart the race to try again. You are allowed to hit street signs since they do not damage your car. You must place first in the race without hitting any other cars, guard rails, walls, rocks, etc. It is in the Desert area in the middle of the map, and the shortest race in the game. Opening shipments is also a quick way to get credits. You can farm credits by replaying events and selling cars and performance upgrades you no longer need. Winning Drag races with the Drag version does not unlock the achievement. Buy the "Race" version at the Race dealership, not the Drag version. The Koenigsegg Regera is unlocked for purchase after completing the story. The movie’s screenplay calls this “chanting,” so I guess I’ll call it that too. This is their magic (yes, magic is a thing in this world) and we’ll later see it used in other ways. They do this by… how do I describe this? They sing a single note, an “Uhhhh…” in a deep bass. The Mystics then “summon the one who must save them,” we’re told. This dialogue intentionally mirrors the narrator’s description of the Skeksis in the previous scene, reinforcing to viewers that these creatures are connected to each other. The narrator further says their rituals give no comfort and the wisest of the Mystics lies dying. The narrator says, “Their ways were the gentle ways of natural wizards.” OK, how are we to interpret that? The Mystics are also wizards? Or the Mystics are not wizards, but they lived like wizards? Also, wizards are a thing on this world? Then the narrator tells us the Mystics are a dying race, that there are only ten left, and they are lost in their ways, numb and forgetful. There’s a lot of symbology in the book I won’t go into here, but this one I thought was particularly interesting. In Froud’s World of the Dark Crystal, there’s a close-up detail of this pattern, where it’s explained that this is the history of Thra, with the beginning of time depicted in the center and events spiraling outward from it, with the most recent events at the outer edges of the spiral. That’s when the Mystics retreated to their valley to “dream of peace.” The next shot is a painting, over sand, of a spiral pattern. The narrator repeats information we heard in the first scene, that a thousand years ago, the Crystal cracked. churned out back in the day.īack to the movie. Sources not considered canon are the official novelization (even though that’s where we got the name “Thra”), the Marvel Comics adaptation, and the various kids’ books and making-of books that Universal’s marketing dept. Thanks to the canon, we know that the big white sun is the Great Sun, the medium-sized red sun is the Rose Sun, and the teeny purple one is the Dying Sun.īefore going further, I guess I should explain what I mean by “canon.” The entire continuity of The Dark Crystal is contained in the following sources:Ģ: The book The World of the Dark Crystal by Brian Froudģ: The graphic novel The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths volumes one and twoĤ: The manga Legend of the Dark Crystal volumes one and twoĥ: The reference material on the website, which is more or less an abridged version of Froud’s book.

Which is not bad at all for a supposed bomb. Steam Gift Cards work just like a gift certificate, while Steam Wallet Codes. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk was in the “Over 200,000 peak concurrent players” tier of games on Steam. All of those games’ lifeblood is tied into multi-pronged monetization networks that span the entire range of character customization. Just take a look at the titles occupying that space: Grand Theft Auto V, Apex Legends, and Battlefield 2042 (another game that was greeted with resounding disappointment but is still being played a lot). Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure RPG set in the megalopolis of Night City, where you play as a cyberpunk mercenary wrapped up in a do-or-die fight for survival. It’s important to keep in mind though that DLC content and in-game transactions are factored into the whole equation, not just the amount of copies sold.įor a game like 2077 that doesn’t yet feature microtransactions or have a DLC package - it’s hard to release one when your game is fighting for its life just to be playable - breaking into the platinum, or highest-selling tier would be a tall order.

The game is set in the High Fantasy world of Taborea, specifically on the continent of Candara. Thanks to an online " item shop" where players can buy "diamonds" with real money in order to get items, extra character customization, and gameplay conveniences, plus boxed versions being sold in Europe, Frogster and Runewalker still manage to make a profit off it despite its "free-to-play" status. Nevertheless, it has met with great success, and the number of players who signed up on both the launch of the open beta and the full game were unprecedented for a free-to-play MMORPG. Even its fans are willing to admit this if you press them. It is often criticized for being very similar to World of Warcraft, to the point of some calling it a rip-off. Though developed in Taiwan, it became surprisingly popular in America and Germany after another company called Frogster Interactive translated it into English and German.
