I was up late playing Brigador last night and I didn't want to go to bed so I did an adderall and kept playing until early morning. When I crashed I had a weird dream that I was surrounded by a swarm of attacking party vans. Clearly I have overloaded my neural jacks. Hey devs, can I get The Auditor's portrait art in high resolution?

You know it may be slow as balls and have no place in the longer runs as a result, but there is nothing as cathartic as crushing everything on the screen in a Lowmill.

Why does MB think driving a Huss into combat takes cohones? It's tough, it's decently manoeuvrable (compared to a ground-tank) and it's hideously well armed.

Probably because it's large, easy to hit, and looks like it might be made out of cast-iron.

My personal take was because it's one of the loyalist's equivalents of Corvid engineering of the "We took construction equipment and then slapped armor and guns on it" variety. And we all know how well the SNC commentators deal with processing Corvid engineering, if even just in spirit. PS: I miss the old "Bloody termite trails" Drummond description.

From some of the posts in the last couple pages, that was the result of writing-past-each-other confusion that might get smoothed out in a future lore cleanup? Be interesting to see a collection of all the story bits over time, complete with when they changed.

Don't know how feasible it is but I had a couple of suggestions. It would be neat to have your high scores tracked for different vehicles/pilots or even leader boards. The difficulty seems to scale by adding more spawns and tougher opponents and on the higher levels you get these giant blobs that can be really overwhelming on lighter vehicles and weapon mounts. A difficulty setting where the population is kept lower like in the early levels but the opponents still get tougher would be cool. Or even if there was a way to mod this yourself at some point. I love Brigador a lot, it's brilliant.

Young Freud posted:While it looks that's what Captain Foo's looking for, Banshee is just the Main version of the Koeing. Yeah no. It may occupy the same general role if that's what you're going for, but the Banshee is a big hitscan or very near it cone of death that is explicitly described as a caseless hypervelocity automatic that runs on Spacer black magic. And it uses the same sort of trails effect the railgun weapons do to indicate that it is being fired, which is why Foo compared it to the Galinha when asking about it.

Marvin Beck is, as of the game's time frame, a Corvid--he's wearing blue/gray coveralls with a Corvid color pin. He is orginally from off-world and did spend some time in Loyalist ranks prior to joining the Corvids. While it's only implied, not all the entries were written at the same time.

This game is so close to being my favorite indie game of 2016, but it's just not quite there. If there was an expansion I'd love to see varying numbers of weapon hardpoints, and some non-weapon options (Eg lower defence for better top speed, increase rear armor, or whatever).

Shibawanko posted:Bought this game recently and I'm having fun with it. What upgrades should I buy first? Trying to get more of the utilty powers (Cloak, EMP, Audi kinetic pulse) sooner rather than later will open up play style options for everything you buy in the future. Though smoke is incredibly solid so you can stick with that forever as well. I have a soft spot for the Duchess main mount weapon. I ignored it for ages due to the "A chain with only 80 bullets? Why would I use that instead of the one with almost 2,000 bullets?" info you see before you buy it, but now it's one of my favorites. Because it fires explosive ammo (They actually point that out when you buy it now). It's basically the main mount autocannon. Hefty stun, plenty of ammo, and just enough of a radius to be forgiving swatting fast movers. Small mounts are an interesting subject, because most of them are niche gimmick weapons in one way or another. The Carlos, Bonesaw, and Faker all are all straight forward "Small version of a Cannon/Machine gun/Mortar". As for the rest? Donkey: 60 round of Holy loving poo poo high penetration carnage... but it has a maximum range of about arms reach. Lockdown: Fires anti-shield tennis balls without any actual "EMP" effect (So it won't prevent people calling an alert in, like the actual EMP special weapon would). The projectiles are relatively slow, and it does laughable damage to scenery and enemy health. The hitstun isn't as good as advertised either, but that's okay because if it was spacers would essentially stunlock you (The lockdown is common on their small units). It's still quite effective if you know how to use it, but probably the most niche weapon in the list. Pinch: 30 max ammo Anti-shield rocket with a habit of momentarily killing the engines in enemies. But it has a minimum arming distance, and is also of very small terrain and health damage. (I keep forgetting a direct hit will not quite kill many trash enemies, that my brain remembers splash damage killing whole crowds of in the past). Much more user friendly as a panic button when Zardoz is after you than the lockdown. Temblor: A nearly silent laser. Pros, It carves through scenery quite quickly. Cons, tickle damage against enemy health and shields. Great for quickly carving through walls with a tiny ride that can't stomp worth a drat, and you don't want the attention an AKP will cause. Black Hand: Radioactive turbo murder. Though with limited range (Like, several mech lengths away. Donkey has 1/5 the range of a black hand). Pros: Silent. Passes through scenery without really damaging it. Holy loving poo poo damage to unshielded enemies. Cons: 30 shots. Does gently caress all to enemies with even a little bit of shielding. It's essentially a ganking/finishing blow weapon. loving amazing to murder a commander through a wall before they even know you exist. Not so great in open combat once people have turned on their shields. Section Z fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jan 7, 2017 |

Personally, starting out, I bought as many vehicles with Heavy class mounts as I could because they were cheap and fun. They're not as great on higher difficulties sure because they're big slow fire magnets, but at low difficulties it doesn't matter and it's really fun being able to go nuts with the absurd destructive power of some of the heavy weapons. If firing off a Harvester round for the first time doesn't convince you Brigador is GOTY 2016 I don't know what will. Koenig is probably the best in class Heavy weapon, though, just for being so useful against everything while having a generous ammo supply.

I've been mounting it and it doesn't seem to shoot through those grid barrier fences anymore. The Galinha tends to not penetrate barrier walls like the Zeus will, but if it's anything but a dedicated barrier (so buildings, Corvid constructions, trees and houses) then the Galinha will penetrate just fine. I haven't really been able to find a real cutoff point though, it also seems range dependent to an extent.

Shibawanko posted:Bought this game recently and I'm having fun with it. What upgrades should I buy first? It's difficult to say, because half the fun is unlocking the stuff on your own. But this should help... Like Section Z says, there's a lot of gimmick weapons but there's also somewhat standardized guns (which have differing effects). For instance: "Machine Guns" cover from the Bonesaw (small), Mae Dois (turret), Belter (auxiliary), Banshee (main), and finally the Koeing (heavy). Or volley or "shotgun" type weapons like the Parliament and the Crambo (turret), Broiler (auxiliary), the 88 and the Kraken (heavy). Read the text though since they do have special effects that another might not have, so if you're planning your mounts it pays to pay attention. Some are different sized versions like the Chuffer (aux) and the Ploughman (heavy) being reactive gas munition throwers, the Galinha (aux) and the Zeus (main) being railguns, and the Thunderclap (main) and Chieftan (heavy) being pulsed lasers. Some interesting gimmicks included are the aforementioned Duchess, Temblor and the Black Hand; the Gutterball, a long range, median-arc howitzer that just smashes through terrain and the Harvester, a mortar that saturates it's target area with submunitions. For vehicles, I'd unlock the Mantis and the Sweatheart for mechs (because Auxiliary and Heavy offer the best range to play with), the Huss for anti-grav, and the Canmore for tanks.

The campaign is also designed in part to suggest weapon/loadout synergies without having to buy them first. Like a taster's platter, and one of the appetizers is the Party Van.
