MGS5: gently caress youuuuuuuuu episode 29. That was so loving stupid. I basically sprinted around in circles the whole time while Quiet pinged off the Skulls. Once she had killed a couple, I could slow down and take enough time to aim a rocket launcher.

On the extreme version of Quiet's sniper duel mission, the one where she one shot kills you, I figured out how to beat it easily.

You just bring a bigger gun.

Like, a tank.

I tried that the first time and she just skipped away just before it landed.

How hard is it to hire a couple of vets to check the writing and then actually listen to their input?

"Bro... this sounds loving retarded."

e: They'd get boatloads of funny points for that, too. Everybody has some weird poo poo that they do on their own net. Even simple stuff like a bunch of dudes doing "boop" in sequence would be hilarious to see in a movie or game, and it'd be realism x100000000, too.

I feel like. 80% of what I said while still in was either. "what the gently caress are we doing?" And "this is loving stupid."

I finished mission 50 on MGSV, but now I dunno if I have the motivation to grind everything up afterwards.

Especially since it will mean losing ~mai sniper waifu~ without the butterfly emblem in place.

The tabletop 40k is sperg central. Some of the PC games are good though.

Some of the novels are legit good too, but it's from a couple good authors. Most are not that great.

For real, ME2 was always Grunt + Miranda for me, both for Krogan shotgunning and dat rear end. (Side note it's hilarious to me that if you GIS "Miranda dat rear end," exactly what you'd expect comes up.)

ME3's real flaw was no Krogan teammate outside of the Citadel DLC.

I got tired of plinking enemies with the Black Widow, so I used a save editor and changed my class to Vanguard.

It's amazing how much more fun the combat is now.

Trying to play any other class is solidly :geno: because it's like "Well this is okay I guess, but I could be playing Vanguard instead..."

I've never played a Far Cry game, but if it has massive glacially carved landscapes it could be interesting.

Or maybe that's just my longing to go back to Glacier national park talking.

A similar reason had me reinstall FONV for the Honest Hearts DLC a year ago.

Man I got Witcher 3 on sale and I can't even be arsed to put hours into that. Feels like my gaming enthusiasm has gotten more and more dulled at this point. Now when I think of some giant open world game with crafting and quests and a unique leveling system, all I can think is "gently caress, that sounds like so much WORK."

I enjoyed the hell out of XCOM 1 and never installed any mods.

I mean other than the expansion, but that's a given. Robo-punching dudes off of rooftops and into cars is the best.

The expansion is great because you can use MECs to punch people into cars, and that makes the cars explode.

There's tons of other improvements, but if that doesn't sell you I don't know what will.

That's a bummer, I had a ton of fun with the first Dawn of War. The whole game is just overly bellicose space marine bluster I assume?

Not even. I'd have loved that. The dialogue and everything just seemed wooden and fell flat. Both the writing and the voice acting. The gameplay didn't grab me at all either.

For the record I loved the first two DOW games. Hell I started the first one in the middle of my first deployment when I was on a tiny no shower poo poo burning COP and that's what started me off on 40k.

Truth. Although admittedly in ME2 I went with Grunt/Miranda for the most part. Because you have to have a Krogan, and well, dat rear end.

ME3's biggest downfall was no Krogan squadmate outside of the Citadel DLC.
