Internet Explorer posted:Interesting. Well, I've save judgement until I'm actually playing but right now it seems a bit too easy. I assume that it's the first missions and that you don't want to scare people off, but often with this type of game the beginning is the hardest part. Hopefully they've achieved a good balance. It does seem that by design you're more or less free to decide how difficult the game is by choosing easier or more difficult contracts. The challenge of the game seems to be as much in making sure you don't go bankrupt as actually doing well on the battlefield, and large scale repairs can be significantly more costly than the reward for completing a contract. There is also an ironman mode planned for the future which may also have some difficulty-increasing gameplay changes as per recent dev posts on the Paradox forum.

It's almost like it's missing a few frames right at the beginning. It kind of teleports a few feet into the air before it starts spinning and blowing up. I'm guessing it's something about not starting the animation in time after despawning the vehicle. Not terrible, and I'm guessing it would be a lot less obvious in the game itself, but it stands out quite a bit in that gif.

Yeah, there's definitely a second between when it "dies" and when it actually starts the animation, so you're right about that being a little janky, but the animation itself of the tank blowing up is amazing, so if that ends up smoothed out at some point it'll be perfect.

I don't think that's it, the first (AC?) shot hits, but its the laser that actually kills it and then it goes straight into the animation, it's just that the animation seems to be missing the first 1/4 of a second or so and jumps into the air before exploding.

sebmojo posted:watching cohh's stream - he's not annoying at all, by streamer standards! I agree. But on the other hand, it is intensely frustrating to see someone else doing what you wish you were doing yourself. Especially when they make mistakes, even if those mistakes are understandable in a beginner. Backseat battlemeching has no winners.

Took a peek at the Steam page, looks like the system requirements got taken down a notch since I last played. Hooray for actually being able to play this game I dropped $85 on, even if it's on Medium settings.

Not having seen his streaming before, Cohh's stream is actually a lot of fun and he's showing off the game pretty well I think. Also very receptive to being given tips by his chat etc, to the point where he's getting fairly competent at the game 6 hours in. Impulsive mistakes aside.

Yeah, I've glanced at the vods of Cohh and he's not nearly as obnoxious as I remember. I think back when I watched him it was a playthrough of Mass Effect and he was... quite friendly with his soundboard. Also he thought Synthesis was a 'good and logical ending' and that's something I cannot agree with.

Lots of people have bad opinions about the ending to Mass Effect. Best not to hold it against them.

Yeah I've watched both of the streams so far and honestly he does a really good job of showcasing the game, playing the game like a normal person and not being obnoxious. Which is basically the best possible things you can ask of a streamer. EDIT: Why isn't this game out. I'm dieing. hooman fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Mar 31, 2018 |

Wondering if I can just give the backer-key to PTN as a reward in his LP or something.

Cohh put some new stuff up on youtube today. E: Looks like he finally picked up that not only do you want to focus fire, you want to focus fire on the same side of an enemy.

Someone pointed out that since the game deals with melee as part of your movement, and that the Ace Pilot skill lets you shoot and then move in the same turn, then unless they specifically coded it otherwise a Piloting specialist can can shoot and then make a melee attack on the same turn. Which sounds amazing and makes the idea of a melee specialist all the more tempting

Rygar201 posted:Wars of Reaving sequel when?! Well the next era of BattleTech (that is actually going to get going this year, there's a book coming out that's supposed to 'launch' the storyline) is called ilClan. I watched some of Cohh's stream earlier today, he's up to the embargo mission so just was doing procgens, and the game... just looks incredible. The game is amazing.

I can guarantee you that’s incorrect, Rygar. There is no universal agreement on anything in this entire franchise. Except maybe that Dark Age was bad. Although you never know ...someone out there is probably writing a passionate defense of it right this minute.

Rygar201 posted:Basically the Society had baller rear end technology and I want to see an Osteon in HBS BattleTech The thing is, Society tech is 'balanced' by them only having access to utter crap pilots - bandits, washed-out junkies and grad students - and like Clantech in general 'balancing' something via unenforced roleplaying restrictions is a terrible idea. If we ever see the batshit stuff being currently deployed in PTN's campaign get ported over to HBS BattleTech, I have to imagine it'll be much more balanced mechanically than "Does the Turkina Z have LOS on one of your units? Okay, that unit is now at very least cored, if not utterly obliterated." Edit: Hahaha holy poo poo, in HBS-land it wouldn't even need line of sight, it could indirect-fire.
