StaceyPowers Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 If you're right on the edge of dying in a tough fight with a lot on the line (i.e. you'll lose lots of progress if you die), how do you mentally rally and pull it together? Usually I throw caution to the wind and get bolder with my attacks, and that often seems to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 i get more tactical and throw the laziness away, then i usually start camping more and more, it takes time, but still way better than dying and repeating again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 If it's Twisted Metal, I run, hide and look for health. If it's NBA Live, I'll try real hard for steals, try to gain myself some possessions. In racing, I'll try more late breaking to try to catch the leader.

Empire Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I start thinking about payback and get all my lost gear back again in rage to go into battle again, I say it's GIVE IT TOO ME, show me your weakest . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I just don't care about dying anymore and I just fight with everything I got and I start trying some pretty risky maneuvers that either win me the fight or make me fail horribly. Surprisingly, most of the time it tends to work. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steerminator Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 In a situation like this, if its a real time battle (and particularly if its fast paced), I tend to sort of panic (but not in a bad way) and build up adrenaline; it feels like I start having less tangible thoughts, acting more instinctively or reflexively, and it feels like my reflexes get faster too. That last part could just be my imagination, though. My heart starts racing and I get very nervous but also excited so its harder for me to really assess WHAT I'm doing.

Reality vs Adventure Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I would run around and dive to confuse the enemy and get to an area where I can start attacking the weak ones to build adrenaline. Then stop toying around and go for the kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the enemy has AOE attacks, then keep battlefield awareness and don't get stuck in a corner too long. Stay fluid and move around till you can get some critical strikes in. That old saying stick and move. Try to master parrying because I found it's always the easiest way to stun an enemy. If you are talking about magic on magic, then those scenarios are endless.

Withywarlock Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Mulligan Guard: "Another victory like this and our money's gone!" is one approach I like to have. In multiplayer I like to guide the enemy as far away from my teammates as possible, or sacrifice myself so a sniper going for an easy kill is revealed and killed. I have no difficulty with saying I'm not a valuable team member, so I'm fine with offing myself if it means pulling away more meaningful players from the enemy team. Every second they spend chasing me is a second away from securing or defending an objective. Every bullet expended is one closer to needing to reload and put themselves in a position where they're totally vulnerable. Death & Taxes: Going out in a blaze of glory is another favourite coping mechanism, focusing more on the 'blaze'. Cooking a grenade to the point of it exploding in my hand is one way of getting some close quarter kills without the risk of said grenade being thrown at my allies. If I'm going to die, I might as well do so expending all my ammo in the enemy's general direction. It keeps them hunkered down and allows teammates to advance. No plan of action survives contact with the enemy, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
