Killing them is not the problem, it's 30 of them with very accurate bazookas and flamethrowers that nearly one-shot all my non-Albus/Irene characters. This is also a side-machine, I have literally not seen drones in the actual story of where I am (Level 30~)

Hackan Slash posted:Has anyone played Foregone? I was browsing the epic game store and came across it, and if I didn't know better I would assume it's by the Dead Cells people. Couple pages back, but I got this today after some deliberation. And it's pretty decent so far! I only have a little playtime in but I will say... Even though the Dead Cells vibes are huge, the gameplay is very much its own thing. Combat is much slower and more deliberate than DC. There don't seem to be any shields and there's no parry mechanic. So avoiding damage seems entirely about positioning and precise dashing through attacks. I was on the fence for a while, but I think I went in with pretty heavy muscle memory from DC that was messing with my expectations. It's definitely an EA game right now. Levels look amazing but seem unfinished. Weapon variety isn't there yet and the loot system will probably need a rework because you get a million trash drops that you're expected to haul around until you get back to base camp and trade for gold. It's pointlessly labor intensive to go through them all one by one instead of just letting you swap trash for gold as you go. Still, it's a good start and I'm happy with the purchase so far. The only other significant thing that's bugging me so far is the voice acting. It's pretty bad. But I'm also spoiled by having hundreds of hours of time in Hades in recent months. Pretty much everything sounds bad after that. Also, the main menu art is kinda goofy. Really doesn't fit the aesthetic of the rest of the game. I mean, look at it. Yeesh.

i knew jedi fallen order was going to be forgettable from the word go but it sure did meet those expectations, i am not going to recall a thing about this game in a week besides a neat bit of cinematography right before the final stage and the Thing That Happens At The End That Everyone Knows About Already oh and BD-1 respawn has a weird habit of making robot characters that are leagues more charming and expressive than the squishy ones

I respect Cal being a completely bland and forgettable protagonist because the last thing Star Wars needs is another “Original Character Do Not Steal” style powerful Jedi who has a bunch of convoluted connections to movie characters and events

i did like that cal was kind of a loser as far as lightsaber-slingers went but his character beats with cere were so weird, it's like i got a cliff's notes version of their scenes together or something she keeps insisting that cal doesn't trust her and he keeps apologizing for judging her too harshly but they always came across as pretty civil!

I'll admit I didn't get very far into Wasteland 2, due to it feeling like a chore to play, but am I wrong, or does the sequel look to be going for a very different tone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRAnuIrD8G8 Seems more over-the-top and wacky than what I remember seeing about the previous game. Not casting judgement in either way, just seems odd.

Wreckfest for $15 on Steam is totally worth it. it's surprisingly easy to find 'clean-ish' races while also finding deathmatch races.

The second major area Los Angeles is both a lot campier and a lot more fun to play through. It just a shame there's such a slog to reach it.

Rookersh posted:Man, it's astounding how much better the Far Cry 5 storyline is with New Dawn. It actually gives it a chance to breath and commit to what it's doing, without kicking the player in the gut at the "end", because New Dawn lets you actually finish saving the region. This makes me almost tempted. I swore I would never buy another Far Cry game after the ending to 5 was so terrible. That kick in the gut you refer to hit me really bad; I don't typically play games to feel like poo poo. (Yeah, I know the plot is sorta cartoony and silly and all over the place anyway--we're not talking serious cinematic drama here or something, but still...I was pissed. It was like "oh...as a player, you want to be a hero and save everyone? Go gently caress yourself.")

Oblivion4568238 posted:It replaces the enhanced armor upgrade, which has the same +1 utility slot. So yeah, poorly worded but guessable... not that you should have to guess what benefits you get from an upgrade, of course. Ah, I see. Yeah, they could just say "2 utility slots" on both the Enhanced and Mastercraft armors rather than saying "+1 utility slot" on both which sounds like it stacks. I also loaded an older save to check and it turns out half my agents have been naked since I got Enhanced armor too, which probably caused a lot of injuries. Luckily the mod (Fix missing equipment) has fixed it, and I also found another fix mod so capturing enemies gives XP.

It was like "oh...as a player, you want to be a hero and save everyone? Go gently caress yourself.") So they did a few things to fix it, from what I've seen. Pastor Jerome now has a line talking about how you reclaiming the Prepper Stashes will be useful if things go bad. At the end, you get a line from Jerome/Mary/Eli talking about how people need to head to their bunkers, go go go as you fight Joseph. And then you have New Dawn. And New Dawn also isn't like the best written thing ever, but it pulls the plot threads you want forward. Almost all the old companions are there, Nick and Kim's kid is there as a Gun For Hire, the landmarks are still there, and you get to see what happened after the events of 5 until now. And the reveal is the Rook really did save the region. Without the cult most people survived the ending, and were able to rebuild this new society in this new world. One that is also now under threat. Considering the state of the various cult leaders, this is a significantly better ending then either of the potential endings offered by Far Cry 5 base ( those being let the Cult be awful, or let everyone die. ). It "redeems" the end of 5 in some neat ways. Like for example more plainly stating/leaning on the fact the Rook was Jesus/the Lamb, and that you were saving your flock before Armageddon, and that Joseph was probably the Antichrist, albeit one who regrets his actions.

I'm going to toss in a recommendation for Crimsonland and Undead Horde. They're from the same developers who did Neon Chrome, Jydge and Tesla vs. Lovecraft. If you like any of those, you'll probably like these two as well. It's free and short, so why not?

Tae posted:Troubleshooter devs literally machine translate the english, including their updates for maintenance. The updates are machine translated due to needing details to be posted right away, but the in-game stuff has some people (volunteers on Steam forums and the discord) actually working on a proper translation now. The devs also set up a Google sheet for helping to get a proper translation going. They have also said that they want suggestions on English names for skills, especially the playable character specific ones. Doesn’t have to be 1:1 translation for them as well, just something more fitting than the machine translated stuff. Edit: For example, Irene’s skills used to be “Red Panda Formula 1” with the machine translation and now they’re “Red Panda Style 1st Form” within the game. So there is some improvement with the in game translation. ihatepants fucked around with this message at 18:31 on May 18, 2020 |

DeadFatDuckFat posted:I guess? New Dawn also shows that the Rook becomes a weird Joseph follower after getting captured. The Rook is The Judge in New Dawn. If you read around in New Dawn, you can find that Rook/Judge have no memory of the events of Far Cry 5. They basically last remember getting on the chopper to arrest Joseph, then their next memory is being in the bunker with Joseph. They felt a presence though Considering biblically the only person who is capable of lifting the Seals is the Lamb/Jesus, and the Seeds are presented as the 4 Horsemen, then yeah. Especially as you look at stuff like the 12 Guns for Hire/Disciples, and the other tieins to Revelations. Or the constant "no MORTAL MAN could do this" stuff like the stunts. Or why you were the only one who could shake off the Jacob stuff, or shake off the Bliss stuff. Most people got fully taken over by it. It's because the whole game is a Revelations allegory and the PC is a standin for the Reincarnation. Which I view as hilarious because my PC was a black woman wearing a Testy Festy shirt.
