Epyo 12/28/22 10:10:57 PM #1:	Who's fault is this. Everyone says "overtuned" every five seconds, when they mean "overpowered". It's all I hear on the internet anymore. "Overpowered" was a perfectly good word for this. "Overtuned" could be a useful word, if you meant to say it's too balanced, and now it's uninteresting and not special. But that's not how people use it. They just mean "overpowered". Like, "this hero is so overtuned, they're basically a must-pick." Is this asmongold's fault? I don't watch asmongold content but I have a feeling this is his fault somehow. --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan!

TeamRocketElite 12/28/22 10:28:52 PM #8:	Overpowered just means something is too good. It can be because the backing numbers are too good. It can also be because the concept itself is fundimentally too good. I feel like overtuned also just means too good but haven't seen it used often enough to be certain about the nuances. When someone says overtuned, I sort of picture a fighting game character whose moves are too fast, too safe and do too much damage. So perhaps it is a bit more focused on parameters. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

Epyo 12/28/22 10:48:57 PM #10:	OH parameter specific, ok, I guess it would sound weird to say "this weapon's damage is overpowered" when all weapons do damage. You would probably wanna say "this weapon's damage is slightly too high", and I suppose you could say overtuned for that, to sound a little fancier. I'll have to listen if people are actually using it that way. Maybe, people really are just getting more specific, about things they wanna complain about in video games. --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan!

Lord_Ephraim 12/29/22 10:01:34 PM #37:	Overtuned is labelled as a character with way too much going for them. Individually their pieces might not be powerful but together it makes them unstoppable. Overpowered is simply definined mostly by one or two traits/abilties that stand out among the rest of the cast. It's possible to be overtuned and overpowered at the same time. T.G Cid from Final Fantasy Tactics can be considered both because of his bloated skillset (containing all of the ranged sword skills) with amazing stats and equipment pool to boot. --- SNARGLEBLAGH <cite>Lord_Ephraim posted [p:970494188] in Why do peo...

foolm0r0n 12/29/22 11:51:35 PM #38:	Tuning to me is when you notice a weakness in a character and plug the hole, with a patch to change numbers, or whatever. You end up with fewer options against that character. So overtuning is when a character is hard to play against because all the rough edges were sanded off. It's not just that character is strong or OP, but that they were made to counter all your specific strategies. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:970496140] in Why do peo...

Steiner 12/30/22 5:52:36 AM #40:	CoolCly posted... you guys are somehow really sheltered from the wider gaming community yes that's the point i've been trying to make. i basically don't play games with a community to speak of. i find that very concept completely offputting. i do play ff14 but i play it like a single player game with occasional bots. i'm under the impression my only outlying from the majority of board 8 in that respect is that i tolerate MMOs to a degree. to me it's stranger that you'd come to the website about 90s RPGs to talk about modern multiplayer games. obviously we're disconnected, that's why we're on the website for 90s RPGs? --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see <cite>Steiner posted [p:970499811] in Why do peo...

GavsEvans123 12/31/22 1:58:02 PM #41:	I saw someone use the word overtuned outside of this topic for the first time today. From the context, they meant either overtuned as in "a character with way too much going for them", or as a synonym for overpowered. --- Call from demon - with dark power to tempt your mind, very proud of the power.

StealThisSheen 12/31/22 7:35:10 PM #43:	CoolCly posted... you guys are somehow really sheltered from the wider gaming community This feels like a really weird, misplaced flex, given what GameFAQs is. There is no "wider gaming community." Gaming is, even today, not a super wide, accepted thing. People super into MOBAs and shit aren't the "wider gaming community," they're just as niche as people super into old JRPGs and shit. The sooner "gamers" realize this and drop the gatekeeping nonsense, the better. EDIT: Do you want to know what the actual "wider gaming community" is? People that play Farmville or Mario Kart Tour on their phones. Fortnite and Warzone players. Etc.
