Warzone 2100.
Rocket artillery is absurdly OP on away missions, especially because your only resource is practically unlimited.

Endless Space 2 got a lot better since I last played it. The AI is still dumb as a rock, though. Blockaded a system for a few turns and somehow managed to negotiate all but one of their systems in a truce deal which I just broke right away anyways.

Also the Riftborn are qt as fuck

Shadowrun: Dragonfall

It was 80% off, how can you say no to that? Playing a mage but I think the game wants you to be a decker, due to all the decker options after just Monika dies.

Dragonfall is indeed decker edition
Contrast to the one before it where being a decker meant basically nothing

I find myself increasingly drawn towards underwater games.
I like swimming. Water is comfy, underwater is pretty and strange.
And subs are sexier than surface ships.

Monster Girl Quest Paradox

Just like the original, it's actually really fun.

It's also no longer a Visual Novel and a lot more of a legitimate video game now, with lots of JRPG elements, jobs, recruitment, free-roaming, and a pretty decent story that's -from what I could tell so far- not exactly linear.

Cozy as hell indeed. It includes the P-3 Orion for when you're stressed out and just want to blast them from the sky. There's also a mission that replicates the kursk accident, playable from every side, even escort units or the snooping Americans.

Speaking of subs, I really liked the Pole Position DLC scenario in CMANO.
North Pole. American subs. Russian subs. Navy Seals. Canadians. Green fucking peace. It got everything.

More Dangerous Waters.
I learned that if you shoot at Russians with missiles, the Russians will shoot at your missiles with their own missiles. Russians being Russians, they have a fuckton of those, even though they're bad.
Now I need missiles to shoot down the missiles that are shooting down my missiles.

After being unable for multiple jumps to even damage the enemy ship, and almost getting cucked by a giant rock cruiser sending over an army 1 jump from the wormhole, I am now the proud owner of the crystal ship. I even managed to score a normal victory this run, thank dog for that one crystal region.

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is surprisingly good.

The replay features are a very nice touch, allows for some very nice cinematic replays that take you back to the bits of the show that were actually good.

Variant A is decent. 1-two shotter and 1 heavy doing 2 damage. The gimmick is that these two crystal weapons' shots can pierce level 1 shields.

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Sun Dec 10, 2017 7:25 am #365158

The trick to playing FTL is to rush the teleporter. Get at least crewman who are either those anaerobic aliens, mantis or rocks. Teleport them over to fuck up the enemy's weapons/shields/medbay and crew, teleport them back when one of them hits ~25% health, heal them up and teleport them back to mop up the crew. And then try not to drown in scrap

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Sun Dec 10, 2017 12:28 pm #365213

I prefer rushing the hack module.
But if you do end up getting the teleporter, also get the cloning bay and the thing that heals your crew when they jump.

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Sun Dec 10, 2017 8:09 pm #365286

You will git gud over time.

Screemonster · Sun Dec 10, 2017 11:21 pm

Teleporter + mind control is an amazing combination. ESPECIALLY with the lanius ship or a lot of lanius crew so you can leave most of your own ship depressurised. Beam them all back including the mindcontrolled guy just before the MC wears off, laugh as they choke to death.

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Mon Dec 11, 2017 5:55 am #365449

If you have a full lanius crew, you can just leave the O2 off permanently and have a passive anti-boarder/anti-fire countermeasure, plus hull breaches aren't a major concern for you unless they're in a subsystem (cause breaches take priority for repairs)

Deitus · Post by **Deitus** » Mon Dec 11, 2017 6:21 am #365453

recently been playing cdda, eso, dom5, and streets of rogue. went into the lattermost with very low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised to find its actually pretty fun.
once break is over i plan to get into some pbems for dom5 while also emulating silent hill 2 and playing the witcher trilogy.

Screemonster · Mon Dec 11, 2017 6:23 am

Drone ships (and the unmanned mothership) also can't self-repair if there's a breach in the room so I will ALWAYS get mk2 breach bombs if I see them so I can fuck up the mothership's missile room

Also the first stage of the mothership battle is for killing the crew, it doesn't do anything flashy apart from cloak every now and then unless it landed its hacking module somewhere nasty, other than that just bomb/board the shit out the missile room, ion room and beam room in that order

as for the rest of the crew you can either use the MC/tele trick or hack/firebomb their medbay, breaching it while it's hacked is good shit because by the time they've fixed the breach the doors will have locked them in again and you can just press the murderbutton

It's basically spacechem but with magic alchemy instead of chemistry. Also (apparently) no chance of failure whatsoever

At the least that is what I could get from it by observing it for about an hour trying to figure out the appeal

my holiday tradition has been "play quake live" since quake live came out for no actual reason

it gets harder every year since they scrapped the f2p but this year I found a really populated freeze tag server that's pretty fun so that's cool

my friend also traditionally puts up a minecraft server that everyone in our friend group binges for a week or two and then it dies really quick which is fun while it lasts

Grazyn · Post by **Grazyn** » Mon Dec 25, 2017 10:50 pm #369083

EU4 complete is the best one for complexity and depth if someone wants to get into the genre. If you want real autism you should look into Matrix turn-based war games.

I don't like EU4 myself and the best grand strategy game for me will always be HoI2 but more specifically Darkest Hour's Kaiserreich mod.
