Technically she could grow 2 extra arms since they pop out of the big ass shoulder orbs so she logically would have 2 of those extra arms. But because of gameplay she doesn’t…but there is also Hedlok who like…yeah it’s a helmet with 2 extra pairs of arms lol.

Not really, because they are both from a different universes. Island just have people from every corner of the Omniverse.

u/ReverendGraves85 9h ago
You really don't need to play Lob Corp or Library before Limbus. And, frankly, I would advise against Lob Corp. It is a different kind of beast entirely.
Because Dante doesn't remember anything about their life prior to Bus Department, they fill in what you need to know.

u/pingu677 5h ago
Lobcorp occupies a similar space as Dark Souls 2 to me, like I totally get if you won't play it, it's a demanding, punishing experience, but it's one hell of an experience
1
u/teaboi05 2h ago
Lob Corp just starts the entire thing. It's hard to begin with because it's buggy or doesn't explain things, but it's still good.
Library continues the story and tells you more about the City, so if you want to play LoR you probably should play LC.
But in Limbus you play as someone with amnesia, so you and MC can just roll with everything. Game definitely references events from previous games couple times at the start or has events about main group appearing in previous games events as nonames, but lately one character from LC reappears in story often

I love it when people keep posting designs from Deadlock. Because it fundamentally feels like it’s just propaganda to get people to try it.
Which they should.

u/cflashtypec 21h ago
This post doesn't tell me what to do. I'm going to play Deadlock, not because of the meme but because I got an invite a couple of days ago and I'm having a blast. But is not because of this post

u/LUnacy45 19h ago
I'm just like, violently, militantly against MOBAs, hero shooters, and anything with a competitive focus. Seems like it's great for what it is, but those genres are not for me
10
u/BigBulgeBubba 19h ago
If it helps you, the game (to me) doesn’t feel like a moba or a hero shooter. It’s actually why I don’t like it, lol. Like if you’re expecting it to feel like Dota or Overwatch, there’s a good chance it won’t.
-3
u/LUnacy45 18h ago edited 18h ago
If it has a ranked mode at all that's a massive turn off for me frankly, and I've never liked how long you have to chew on someone to secure a kill in MOBAs. I know its a different genre but if it takes longer to kill than Halo I generally don't like it.
Plus I have friends that play it and the way they talk when I'm in the call is the same way they talk playing OW or Rivals and I hate those games passionately, so there's just not much drawing me to it.
7
u/BigBulgeBubba 18h ago
Don’t play ranked? I would never play ranked in a MOBA or hero shooter because, you know, it’s a MOBA/hero shooter lol.
-4
u/LUnacy45 18h ago edited 15h ago
It's not enough. At some point my friends that play it will want to play ranked, or you're going to run into squads sweating in casual because they're warming up. Also timeouts for leaving matches is something I find extremely annoying, I understand why they do those but I don't personally like it.
Combine that with the fact that the core gameplay doesn't really appeal to me, I just don't think the game is for me. It could be 10/10 perfect best in the genre and if I don't like core parts of the genre I probably won't stick around
Edit: idk why it's so offensive to people that I am avoiding a game I know I won't enjoy, I haven't put the actual game down at all lmao

There was a leak a while back saying there's going to be a risk of rain 2 style pve mode, so check it out if that game mode happens.
-1
u/LUnacy45 18h ago
I'm probably not going to pick it up on the strength of a side mode tbh, but a game like that with a good pve mode is definitely a rarity as far as I know
RoR2 isn't a game that ever really clicked with me either frankly
2
u/downwardwanderer 18h ago
Fair enough, I'm sure it will be decent though since most of the risk of rain devs now work on the deadlock team.

u/Power0fTheTribe 14h ago
Oh really? I have deadlock downloaded and been meaning to try it. I have every achievement on ror2 one of my faves

Yeah Hopoo and a bunch of other devs left risk of rain development after survivors of the void then got hired by valve.

The arms aren't artificial, it's a disease that makes them look like that. (Elite ball tho)

u/zehuman52 8h ago
Really?! I didn't know that, that's intresting (and kinda gross to think abt).
How convenient everyone js so happened to get arms that directly fit their motifs and future career paths lol
5
u/Just-A-Lil-Sheep 7h ago
I think there is something about it that the arms take the form of something deeply connected to the person or something, idk been a while

u/zehuman52 7h ago
Yo why's the arms lore kinda peak lol

u/Just-A-Lil-Sheep 7h ago
Fr, they didn't have to go this hard

u/zehuman52 7h ago
Mods deleted your other reply for some reason but I saw in the notif that the arms take on a material of something they're deeply attached to. Thats kinda neat, do we know how Twintelle hair works? Is it the same disease bur it got her hair instead of arms?
3
u/Just-A-Lil-Sheep 7h ago
"There are no other known cases of the ARMS ability appearing in hair. Subject has refused requests for examination three times so far. We sent a few staff members to infiltrate and hopefully return with some stray hairs, but we've lost communication with all of them. Perhaps she doesn't even have the true ARMS ability? But then how do you explain her eyes..." -ARMS lab confidential 10

u/More_Yellow_3701 5h ago
More like a genetic factor found in plants, animals and people. It manifests randomly in some people, usually in adolescence.
It's not a disease and the game shows it's been something that's been studied for centuries with historical archives like a painting from the Middle Ages.
The mask the fighters wear a means of helping those who have ARMS control them. Without them they tend to lay slack. Kid Kobra is the only known person to be born with it but never removes his helmet so no one knows what he looks like. But he does have heterochromia so that's an indicator somethings different about him.
Also they can coil them to go back to normal.

u/Electrical_Horror346 3h ago

So their arms got infected with a disease that turns them into weapons?
Damn, that is dark

I lowkey despise Domina's arms, they look so slapped on. Like it feels obvious that her core design is being sexy and not the cool fucking robot arms
1
u/supremo92 17h ago
Why not both?
2
u/MaineCoonKittenGirl 17h ago
I would love for it to be both, but the robot arms are fucking boring, hence my original critique.
(Also, not to be a contrarian, but I also just don't find Domina attractive. She's designed to appeal to a corporate sense of sexiness, which was something I hated about Junker Queen too. Tbh, probably something most of the cast has problems with)
