Nobody goes "the Red Army weren't the good guys" without moving on to expressing their gratitude to the glorious German liberators. Edit - yeah, the game where you're trying to resist the Nazi genocide - you have serious concerns about the setting and presentation, I'm sure. gently caress you. Look Sir Droids posted:I was interested until, well yeah. I sincerely doubt every Hollywood movie about the US winning WWII and every call of duty before 2010 had you guys bringing up atomic bombs and internment camps.

I'm not sure, but maybe? Some of the missions with the hero characters in them had them monologuing through the level, which greatly frustrated my efforts to ignore the awful writing, especially when Zeratul is whinging about prophecies and portents and such.

Is Borderlands 3 enjoyable solo? I can grab it for $20 from Epic, so if the story and shooting is fun, that's enough for me.

Nobody is this quick to leap to accusing someone of defending Nazi genocide unless they're subtly trying to defend Soviet genocide (often of the same goddamn people, at that). Go gently caress yourself, hypocrite. I do wish more non-russian developers would make games featuring the soviets and just be willing to acknowledge that they were both incredibly awful and involved in some very interesting conflicts that make for good fictional settings. It's easy to understand why this never happens, though. Russians are loathe to admit that their glorious motherland has ever done anything wrong, and non-russians familiar with the soviet era tend to not be too interested in making light of the awful poo poo that was done to them. Western developers only tend to want to make western-focused games and the occasional game set in Japan or China, and similarly for eastern devs. The slavic world and Africa are full of great historical/pseudohistorical settings that no one ever uses because no one knows/cares about them.

Also didn't realize the Partisans had some sort of bad rep, I thought they were basically just irregulars doing guerilla warfare against the invading Nazis?

Played through the whole campaign and DLC with multiple characters without touching multiplayer and had a blast. If you liked BL2 then this one’s a no brainer. The story and characters really didn’t click with me but the gameplay more than made up for it in my opinion.

BL3 was the first time they even had level scaling, which is pretty much required to make matchmaking co-op fun at all. Also apparently you can skip cutscenes now and THANK loving CHRIST

I played a little bit of Deep Rock Galactic yesterday for the free weekend, but I feel like I'm missing something. Any generalized tips on the classes? It seems like someone needs to have a vertical movement skill in order to get to stuff thats high up on walls right?

anilEhilated posted:gently caress off. This is probably the stupidest thing I've ever read here; do you have any idea what happened to Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary? If and when someone creates a game praising the "liberation" of Eastern Europe (particularly post 45), you have my permission to bitch all you want. When you start screeching about the evil Russkies the moment anti-German resistance is brought up - not even the Red Army proper, so like a dozen steps removed from "Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary"* - you kinda give the game away. * Some of these - the ones who weren't German allies - had partisans of their own. Particularly since (to reiterate) you don't react to every Call of Duty game with "do you have any idea what happened at Mordja posted:Found the tankie Look Sir Droids posted:Holy poo poo. Read more books. The Red Army built new ones. I mean, you could go with "Stalin killed a lot of people" and that would work, but "The Red Army built new ones" is just an outright lie.

Everyone expressing an opinion on the Red Army thus far in this thread has sounded like an idiot, an issue only compounded by the fact that this is the Steam thread.

Can someone give me the low-down on how Deep Rock Galactic actually plays? The whole "procedural FPS with fully-destructible environments" seems pretty neat, but at the same time, I'm also not really into multiplayer and I'd really like to know how well the game would work for singleplayer and what it has to offer in that regard before I take the plunge. The Steam description isn't all that helpful, sadly.

Driller can get to any mineral anywhere; carve a path straight back to the dropship, carve shortcuts between windy rooms, carves out an "enclave" during Salvage missions where you have to defend a point but the box is right up against a wall giving you much more room to work wtih.

Driller can dig ramps up to ledges or higher resources, dig in a straight line to extraction, there’s some nerd poo poo about digging bunkers I ignore but it’s a strategy that exists, drilling gets you a bit of improvised everything
