It's only ok because of the lack of OOB.

but holy fuck this game is great it's like quake if you were able to play without being brutally murdered by someone who has 40 years experience

Ok I'm installing Quake. I checked the minimum system req and it said HD 4600, what...

Also are you saying it takes no skill like Overwatch?

y'all wanna play a team based shooter that takes skill go buy titanfall
seriously qbopper converted me
he's cult gib him

joke's on you qbopper is an admin

I thought Titan Fall was dying from a lack of playerbase?

Titanfall 2?
Ha, no.

CosmicScientist wrote:I have no idea what OOB

Order of battle. Inn Hoi4 it's divisions ->armies. In Hoi3 it was Divisions -> Corps -> Army -> Army Group -> Theater, with each having own commander. It allowed you for a greater flexibility and micromanagement, which you can't really do in 4.

Hey you gotta M1+W+sometimes E+always Q to win as pyro and then sometimes as the engineer's turret you gotta M1.

But then you will compare the grenade launcher of rat guy with demos, the damage, splash, hitboxes of projectiles, and you will learn one of them takes much less skill to use.

I still don't understand people wanting OoB in HoI 4.

If you want OoB just go play HoI 3 like goddamn dude. It was pretty clear from the offset that HoI 4 is a casual version of HoI for normies.

Titanfall 2 isn't dying of lack of players HOW DID THIS BECOME A MEMME

seriously if your game clears 1k players daily it isn't dead and it's nowhere near dead, not every game can be the massive cultural phenomonon pulling millions of daily users

re: quake champions - no like it's literally quake but it's not fucking frustrating as shit because someone with millions of years of experience slaughters you every round, that doesn't mean you can't be good at the game (and I know I got my ass handed to me), it's just that it's actually accessible and enjoyable for those who can't dedicate that level of time to get to state where they have a snowball's chance in hell of winning a match

So in what ways did they dumb it down so that someone with lots of experience being a rocket jumping rail gun sniper faggit doesn't arse rape the newbs?

I'm not good enough at quake to actually pinpoint why, I just know it feels better

there are some neat changes like dead people dropping a few armor shards tho

Ok. I don't give a fuck about NDA because I'm a hardcore rebel so I'm gonna talk about Quake now.

I played only few games. I have a feeling I didn't do as well as I should I managed to get 1.0 k/d ratio, but in few matches I got absolutely trashed. But that shouldn't be indicative of anything. I'm used to no textures and radioactive green character models, and I played on highest details. This coupled with the fact that I'm an old person with poor eyesight (I need new glasses) gave me some troubles in aiming and tracking fuckers. But I digress.

Armor shards yes. Health pickup has only one type, and it heals to full, as far as I noticed.

Every character has special skill, that is known. But what they didn't tell you is that all characters have different stats. There were 3 if I recall correctly, one of them was health and one of them was speed. They also didn't tell you about passive skills, which include some really curious ones like reducing damage while standing still, or increasing bunnyhopping speed.

The movement feels pretty good and quakekish, albeit I couldn't pull off a circle jump. I'll blame my shit mouse and arthritis for that.

In short I think core gameplay is solid, but I'm not impressed with everything around it.

Health/armor/speed, just affects the max hp/armor/speed I believe

Honestly I'm just excited because it's going to be both buyable and F2P so I can ignore unlocking champions, but my friends can play for free

Anyone played Battle Brothers?

Lumbermancer wrote:Anyone played Battle Brothers?

I was playing it, until Persona 5 pretty much monopolised my gaming time.

SS13

osu! as usual.

Still chugging my way back to 50k
Started this year on my worst ever rank, 110,000 and now I'm back to 78,244

30 days ago I got my first score above 100pp on one map (103pp) and since then I've gotten a few more
Today I just earned 158pp from one map.

Progress feels wonderful.

i've had rust for a few years and a friend convinced me to replay with him + another guy, it was enjoyable

We've been raided by these guys a few times now and it's really sapping the enjoyment out of the game for me, not because "i ded game sucks" but how fucking unbelievably horrifically bad the community is

These people are braindead retards that can't aim or critically think and their idea of quality humor is "HAHA GAY BOYS WE R EVICTING U" - the only way they manage to win is because I have an unplayable ping (friend is on the west coast where the server is so he can win gunfights) and they have the time to sink in ridiculous hours - it's not quite as snowballey as it used to be but it's still not quite there imo

seriously though these guys harassing us are incredibly dumb - we have a wall around our base and they managed to (silently, using c4???????) breach a section. Buddy with good ping holds them off, I get shot 3 seconds after ducking and hiding behind cover, the usual - they build a locked door in the hole and wall up the other entrances.

They seem to have forgotten that we have building permission for the entire area and can just put down a twig staircase, climb up, then destroy the other end to get in

these people are so dumb but it's actually impossible for me to retaliate thanks to this terrible ping (and of course we can't switch servers because we're established) and I don't like the gunplay anyways, so the game is just really losing all fun for me

Looks like you made the fatal mistake of thinking that the majority of people who play survival games are actually functional adults.

fixed again

also im playing https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... ead#unread

fallout new vegas is honestly my favorite game of all time, and recently I've been revisiting it, i guess.
also american truck simulator or whatever the actual name is. pretty chill game.

Gosh darnit Battle Brothers is so punishing.

You should've seen Goblins in the early betas.

You went to battle vs them and it was game over man. All your men are going to get snipped before you can even make visual contact and then if you somehow manage to close them they'll dodge the shit outta you.

Now they're much easier to handle, just fight them at night.

almost done with metroid prime 2
now for the inevitable last 11% of items

yay

Is it worth getting?

Yes. If you like turn based roguelike medieval XCOM yes.

Graphics on the world map are sparse, but in the battle are pretty ok. There's no animations, because you are moving basically chess pieces around, but your chess pieces are nicely detailed, you can at glance see their armor and weapon and wounds and such.

The combat reminds me more of DnD than X-COM, but you also will be counting AP's and fatigue.

I wanna play some game or another.
Something that lets me engage in interior decorating autism without that being the main focus.

Interior decorating autism... so the sims?

Malkevin wrote:Interior decorating autism... so the sims?

no
reread post please

I thought the main focus of the sims was finding creative ways to kill your sims?

The most sadistic thing I've seen done with the sims was developing elaborate labyrinths so your sim winds up endlessly wandering the halls, and by the time he reaches any relief for his needs, something else crops up that requires him to brave the passages again, desiring rest and constantly seeing it within reach but never being allowed to grasp it

When I was a kid, I just played the sims normally

Cheated money like there was no limit though

Rosebud;!;!;!;!;!;!;!

In sims 3 I didn't know how to cheat so I just merged my family with the rich ones and then killed them in the basement

I mean I'm not sure where you live but I live in the actual, true middle of nowhere and there's a similar store that sells used items like that here

it's not true for everyone, but if there's anything at all similar it's worth a shot to look

Syndicate.

Kinda. Sorta. Fun.
Except for the fact that I maxed out research early and now can overcome any obstacle except those goddamn city gates, ID card be damned.

Got Battle Brothers

It's good, but the game help bullshits you
"A goblin can't physically stand up to a man"
>3 goblins proceed to slaughter 6 of my band in hand to hand combat

what they mean is that goblins are short arse ankle biters, maybe.

To be fair, it probably assumes the average fighting man is at least somewhat trained

While my band is just a bunch of random shitters I grabbed from peasant villages. Also one guy who killed a horse and then fucked it that joined me to avoid being punished for it. He was free so I said sure and gave him something sharp to stick in bandits and goblins. My recruiting standards are not exactly high

So really, it's more like 3 goblins slaughtered 6 random unarmoured peasants with shitty knives and clubs.

invest in basic shields any melee dude without should have a reach weapon until decent armour and skills let him function with a proper 2hander

So the guy fucked a dead horse... i don't know if that makes things better or worse

He was free, I had a spot

And he was strong enough to kill a horse at least.
Nothing could possibly go wrong

Killer Instinct. I """"upgraded"""" to windows 10 specifically to play this game and god damn if it isnt the most accessible, simple, yet somehow fun and still in-depth fighting game i've ever played. It's also FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (kinda). It's a AAA title but uses a LoL-style pay system in which you have to buy individual characters. Luckily I already knew who I wanted going in so I got the game for what can be boiled down to as 5$. Also cross-platform multiplayer with xbox assures this will be the most alive fighting game on the PC for a long time

Done with Eternal Darkness.

I now understand what cult is supposed to be like.

Time to replay Eternal Darkness.

Ulyaoth a cute.

Eternal Darkness is a fucking amazing game, and has imbued in me a permanent fear of bathtubs in horror games
