So are the parts of Titanfall 2 where you're actually in a Titan generally agreed to be the worst parts, or am I the outlier here?

They're merely serviceable run and gun segments in a game that has press F to time travel.

Actually the more accurate analogy is that they're like playing overwatch during Titanfall 2.

Are you using the Mektek release? I'm pretty sure that works out of box, actually. http://www.moddb.com/games/mechwarrior-4-mercenaries/downloads/mw4-mercs-mektek

I did, but I had to gently caress around with a bunch of options to finally settle for disabling intro videos and auto-config. Game is still rad, I love running and fine-tuning my own giant robot mercenary outfit.

its too bad that in mp titans are this very consequential thing that you're really excited to call in, but in sp its like "oh its another one of these parts". BT is my friend, though

Everything on sale seems to be available from Origin directly for the same price so try the actual storefront.

There have been so many retro indie games that we've almost used up all the pixels

They removed the game's store page from Steam after delaying it for an extra 24 hours. Looks like they probably made a mistake and are trying to fix it, but who knows actually when it'll go up https://twitter.com/Konami/status/966469677076561920

The cutscene before doma castle with the Au Ras trying to outdo themselves as they do cool poo poo in the sky is dope as hell.

The Azim Steppe subplot falls apart if you think about it too hard but everything you do in it is so fun that I can't say I really care. That's a good summary of the Stormblood plot overall I think. Full of plotholes and things that don't make sense but you don't care because all the individual pieces are great.

and I hope there's not a single actual fight in the place and its just a bunch of puzzles, but this time randomized so you can't sleepwalk though it

That's the entire game bc they're trying to stretch a conventional video game narrative to fit hundreds of hours of MMO design so it just becomes insanely boring for the most part. But when you just focus on a zone with a cool aesthetic, everything can come together for a good time

You caught me. I cutscene skipped through ARR (no regrets) and Heavensward (plentiful regrets). Somewhere around 3.4 I decided I was being a big dumb idiot and started actually reading the MSQ.

I can see why that game is so popular, but the art style seems weirdly inconsistent for no reason I can discern.

If you're gonna do pixel art then make everything be pixel art, imo

the only things that aren't pixel art are mainly divorced from the parts that are

it would bug me more if there was a huge stark difference but it's just menus, text boxes and the level select
