#weapon crafting

Annon-Guy: I was watching a video on Street Fighter 6 where the roster (Minus JP) taught your Custom Character their Martial Art in their own unique way and it got me thinking this. I know it's a weapon fighter, but how would the 24 Characters in Guilty Gear StrIVe teach your Custom Character in their own way (yes, this includes I-No, Chaos, Bedman? and Asuka)?

As part of an extra service, when I wrote GG Bios for every Guilty Gear character, in classic tradition, I would often describe their weapons and fighting style and even list their movelist history in great detail...

I also have a separate tag specifically for GG+Weapons and going further in to Movelist+Evolution, which chronicles the development of their respective fighting styles... not to mention the Instant+Kill tag.

Part of a fighter's history is not only the development of their fighting style, but the history they have interacted with it, their teachers, the weapons they've obtained or created along the way and the philosophies they created while honing their craft.

While teaching and mastery of such esoteric and often Magic-based arts aren't exactly something some characters can replicate OR teach (because of how unique each character in Guilty Gear is)... at the very least their styles and weapons can at least somewhat be documented here on my blog as well as I can manage.

Oh yes, and I also have a separate tag for an entirely old category called "Ancient+Martial+Arts", as well as discussion on the art of using Ki or Qi.

Seeing as Guilty Gear is mostly about the Thrice-Damned Bio-Weapons KNOWN as GEARS, I also have a separate tag for the physiology of GEARS as well.

Okay, that's enough hyperlinks... leading BACK in to your question... many characters like Millia and Zato can't exactly pass their powers on to any sort of protégé in a traditional sense, though I suppose they can be something of a mentor at the very least, as each has their own unique personality quirks and nuances as you might expect...

Most likely if one were to explore the world of Guilty Gear that way, they would likely be "crafting" their own unique weapons and learning Magic arts along the way, borrowing a few "technique ideas" like Sin Kiske already has...

Going even further, this traces itself back to the Robo-Ky Mark II Factory of Guilty Gear Isuka, which allowed players to customize their own unique Robo-Ky with moves that copied the techniques of their favorite characters. (And hey, I wouldn't mind building a robot version of my favorite characters and custom moves, myself!)

Yeahp, Isuka was ahead of its time, believe it or not!

No doubt, living in such a world that's "full of fighting" and danger, you would face Gears, monsters of all types, take on Bounties as a Bounty Hunter, chase on Marks as an Assassin, or seek your own fortune as a Pirate or Knight or challenge the authorities as a dangerous GEAR of your own nightmarish creation!

MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA NEW DETAILS

“Mass Effect: Andromeda” is slated for launch on March 21. Ahead of its official release however, so much hype is building up the interest and excitement of the gaming community. Just recently, more details about the action role-playing video game have been released and they certainly contribute to the fanfare.

The latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine (OXM) U.K. is out, and it features some interesting information about the upcoming “Mass Effect” game as relayed by the game’s producer, Michael Gamble. For players expecting the new game to be open world, Gamble said that this will not be the case. “I definitely wouldn’t call ‘Andromeda’ an open-world game. We like to use the term exploration-based game,” he was quoted as saying, per Reddit user Snark88. “It’s not the traditional sandbox-type game.”

Meanwhile, the magazine also learned that crafting is now entirely optional and is not at all relevant to the story. Speaking of crafting though, there is now confirmation that blades will be craftable melee weapons. Also, an encounter with the Kett will enable the players to craft their plasma guns. In relation to the Kett, the publication described them to be more nuanced as an enemy.

Another interesting thing about “Andromeda” is how tensions between the team occur. OXM reported that the player’s dialogue choices could trigger tensions among team members. It’s best to minimize these tensions, however, since squad members will be tasked to complete a loyalty mission that comes with a “string of objectives” instead of the usual single mission.

BioWare has also revealed that there will be side quests that will be “more varied and interesting than ever.” No other details about the side quests were given. Meanwhile, it was disclosed that there will be no level cap. Hence, players can keep leveling up until they run out of the skills to put their points into.

Gamingbolt also reported that Gamble told PC Gamer UK that “Andromeda” will be more “casual” and “optimistic” in nature. The focal point of the game is said to be the new galaxy — including its inhabitants — and not the narrative. “The story is not only about the cast,” Gamble said. “The story is about settling, the story is about survival, the story is about the locals – and that’s where the loyalties will definitely focus. Not everyone arrives at the same time, there are things going on in Andromeda that you have no control over.”

“Mass Effect: Andromeda” is set for release on the PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 21.

I'm laughing so hard at that image. That's what Destiny's new crafting feature looks like? Ouch. When I first saw that image, I thought it was from one of the vintage/retro blogs I follow. Like, maybe it was some forgotten toy or electronic from the 80's or 70's. Actually, I could see that thing being something I played with back in pre-K. Wow. I am so sorry that Bungie did this to you.

All I can hope is that that's a weird early prototype version because like. What. What is that. Tinker's Construct looks better than that.

One question I have now that we have more info on weapon crafting, will we be able to craft raid weapons from previous raids outside of whatever raid we get in witch queen? Like will I be able to craft my god roll of heritage (dsc) or fatebringer (vog)? And will weapon crafting let us change a weapons elemental affinity?

Crafting weapons in Biomutant is easy as long as you have enough components!
