I've been meaning to ask this for almost twenty years, but why do Counter-Strike people (I think I've seen this in other games? I don't generally play multiplayer) constantly switch between weapons whenever they're moving anywhere? It's not 100% of people, but goodness it feels like four out of five people do it. Rapid pistol-rifle-knife-pistol-rifle-knife as they run. Does this provide any benefit? Is it just the effects of having chugged eleven Rockstars?

i got battletech and when youre making your character it gives you the option to choose your pronoun including "they/them" i checked the reviews after i finished playing for the day expecting it to be filled with tons of negative reviews because of that but its mostly positive. did this one just fly under the radar of the rightwing outrage dweebs?

StrixNebulosa posted:Why and how did it impress you? I know very little about it. Icey is very good and Beginner's Guide is ok. If you like side scrolling beat em ups, you'll probably dig Icey. If that's not your jam, then you're going to bounce off it hard. Shrecknet just seems to prefer walking sims like Beginner's Guide and slower paced games in general. As the first game from an unknown Chinese indie dev studio and a budget release, it's fantastic.

people were so god drat mad over Battletech, believe me. as a they/them the rage sustained me. also Strix I feel like we've talked about this before but yes a thousand times to FF6 being one of the best snes games made (imo one of the best games ever made) FF10 being wonderful (to Zanarkand still makes me cry) and FF12 being a favorite. good opinions, yes. Ghostlight posted:It's functional. I spent my time on building factory stuff, but there's a small amount of decorative-only items there although no fireplace so imo no coziness. What the gently caress. on the bright side I'm glad my friend convinced me to play Rust. we're four people, and we've made a tenuous peace with a group of strange, commanding Russians from our Fortress of Neo Haag, and one of my friends just found a cozy fireplace. I've appointed myself interior decorator/organizer/house parent by intimidation, and I'm having a lot of fun just tidying up the base while everyone else is screaming over discord because they're being eaten by bears while gathering scrap. fun stuff.

Am I wildly misremembering or didn't ATOM RPG end having some kind of chuddery connected to it. Anyway, a game recommendation! Voxelgram is 3D Picross! Most, if not all of these types of games have been exclusive to the 3DS and/or Switch AFAIK. So far the difficulty has been pretty low, but there's a ton of puzzles + a random mode and the presentation is charming; each puzzle exists within a little diorama and as you complete them you get to fill out the scene with props.

Are there any good time management games similar to Academagia or Golden Treasure: The Great Green Or, uh, I guess an Elder Scrolls style game but more narrative based? I just really like watching my dude(s) get stronger.

I ended up getting Fallen Order (along with Islanders thanks to this thread, and the Fell Seal and Gen Zero DLCs). I played as far as getting across the gap to the tower, then went back to try Oggdo Boggdo again, and I did worse than when I stumbled into him the first time while exploring. I'll come back at it after some sleep, but so far I'm enjoying it (not that there's been much 'it' yet). BD-1 is cool and I have a white poncho already, so the Jedi fashion show is off to a good start.

Couldn't find it on the page, does this mod improve FFIX's loading/game speed (or give me an option to change it beyond normal in game controls)? It always felt the most sluggish of the PSX games to me and I really don't last long before turning it off.

I kickstarted Wasteland 2, I’m in exactly the audience for that game, and I thought it was awful. Full of character build traps, it looks like used toilet paper, and the UI is terrible. Avoid that crap. E:I would rather play the Aidyn Chronicles on N64 than Wasteland 2. It’s that bad.

Grand Theft Autobot posted:ATOM RPG or Wasteland 2? As above, the correct option here is 'neither.' Wasteland has some moments but it's mechanics are atrocious, some of them are so bafflingly terrible that I assumed they were intentionally done wrong, as a joke. ATOM RPG is better mechanically but the game has a huge problem with trash mobs (some areas have 30 or so rat enemies, which you have to kill one by one in a slow turn-based system), and also the devs suck pretty bad and you shouldn't support them financially. Edit: Is there a reason to care about points at all if I don't use Steam as a social network and just use it to, you know, buy games?

Wasteland 2 is basically an 80s CRPG. In that it's stuck with an 80s game design mentality of trap character building options, clunky UI and horrible balance. It also flat out punishes you for using certain NPCs in your party by the end of the game, which is a really lovely thing to do when you've invested in them. It's a horrible game. ATOM is much better as an actual game, being basically old school Fallout, but the Russian developers have... Let's say controversial views and there's an offensive Jewish stereotype in the game. So yeah, the correct option is neither.

That said, Atom RPG also has a number of trap options, such as the crafting skills. There's practically nothing worth using them for.

That's just a homage to the starting cave of Fallout 1. You're obviously not knowledgeable about classic RPGs. (I have never played ATOM and the starting cave of Fallout 1 sucks big time)

LLSix posted:Thanks. Your recommendations are exactly what I am looking for. I would have bought those already if the translation was better My favorite part of Tale of Wuxia's translation is that there's a recurring NPC who gives you the first bit of a poem and then challenges you to come up with the best final line. The translators basically just threw up their hands and gave up, because the poem and dialog options are all still in chinese but with an added [pick the third option] at the end, so you just click the one they tell you to without understanding anything and the guy gets really impressed at how good you are with poetry.
