Becoming a Bullet Bill and slamming into shit is really fun. And useless.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut

Improves on some of the gripes I initially had, though your saves are incompatible.

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Wed Oct 21, 2015 3:38 am #128080

Vermintide is basically like a cross between L4D and Diablo set in the Skaven apocalypse

You run around up to four player co-op fighting shit Might and Magic style on L4D styled level/scenarios. You get loot drops and shit to customize your characters further.

It looks great. I'm installing it now.

EDIT: Servers are currently busted or something. Progress wipe very likely to occur.

It's made by Fatshark, which is kinda cool. Same guys that made War of the Roses.

Vermintide is pretty rad.

I'm playing as the elf lady and managed to get my hands on a set of dual swords. The ability to just slash everything in a really wide arc in front of me is really handy. With a speed potion I become a skaven blender.

She fucking sucks at everything else though. Her bow does piss all for damage, even if I'm zoomed in headshotting Stormvermin they don't seem to give a rat's ass (HYUCK) that I'm putting arrows right in their fucking eye-socket.

I managed to get another lucky drop and got a bow that shoots special poison arrows. They explode into a cloud of gas on impact and cause a DOT. Unfortunately they:

1) Only seem to apply the DOT to the rat they impact, making them useless against hordes
2) Total overall damage it applies isn't all that high, making them fairly inneffective against the few guys I could headshot with the regular bow
3) Seem to only be good at slaying Rat Ogres. Which is actually pretty fucking helpful so I use them.

EndgamerAzari · Thu Oct 22, 2015 1:40 am

Rat ogres are BULLSHIT

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 1:57 am #128403

There's like...fucking nothing you can do.

You can block them but it obliterates all your stamina. Dodging doesn't actually get you out of range of being hit. Being hit catapults you backwards and often right into a crowd of slave rats.

They're fucking infuriating. They're worse than fighting tanks. I've found the best way to deal with them is to have everyone immediately start trying to scale shit in the environment to get out of their reach and pelt them with ranged attacks. This really doesn't work, since they'll still find a way to climb up to you and punch you into low-orbit.

I want to play Vermintide, and I'll buy it eventually, but I have no idea how bad I'm going to be fucked on shipping prices for my weeb toys this month and so can't justify buying it yet

THE MIGHTY GALVATRON · Thu Oct 22, 2015 2:13 am

Won't play Vermintide until there's playable Lizardmen, or someone gifts it to me. Probably the latter.

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 5:03 am #128438

Witch Hunter is pretty rad. His default ranged weapon is a pair of flintlock pistols he can rapid fire.

How does he rapid-fire flintlock pistols, you ask?

By pulling out more of them like a goddamn circus juggler and throwing the empties away.

FUCKING AWESOME.

Meh, that was pretty standard back in the day. At least they seemed to have done some research.

Anyway, what did I read about playable lizards?

I doubt it's happening. Lizardmen society is pretty separate from the occasionally-coexisting human/elf/dwarf civilizations.

Also, for fuck's sake, the way characters bitch at you for shooting armored targets and not hitting them in the head. I'M USING A BIG TUBE FILLED WITH BLACK POWDER AND MARBLES. PRECISION IS NOT AN OPTION.

I really like the concept of Empire gun lines, so much that I actually almost started collecting them as a second fantasy army. However the models look like they are wearing some kind of fucking burlap onesie and it was so awful it turned me off the idea entirely. That and WHAT went tits up with the birth of AOS

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 11:52 pm #128608

It wouldn't make sense for them to add a Lizardman, or Ork, or Chaos Warrior, Vampire Count, whatever the fuck...

Why would any of those characters or races care about defending an Imperial city from a horde of Skaven?

Wyzack · Post by **Wyzack** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 11:59 pm #128614

Lizardmen and Skaven are ancient enemies, so that sorta makes sense. A single lizardman would never go wandering into the Empire though

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 12:48 am #128625

It's not just open warfare with the Skaven: the game.

It's about being trapped inside a city while the Skaven go on a rampage and doing your best to survive/help others.

Honestly even in the game the way it is already the Elf is really out of place.

THE MIGHTY GALVATRON · Fri Oct 23, 2015 1:10 am

It's the End Times! Anything goes!!! But it won't...

Well maybe Warhammer: Total War will get Lizard DLC.

Lizardmen best faction! Woop woop! Seriously all the other factions are lame and boring. Well except maybe Tomb Kings.

i would recommend playing as one of the starting four (sorceress, cleric, warrior or archer) before any of the other classes, both assassin and tinkerer's stories interconnect with the "main" story of the first four in ways that are really interesting but would go over the head of someone starting as one of the latter two classes.

if you decide to retry, that is

I really want to get this System Shock release on Steam.
I've always wanted to play the original but could never get it to run right.

Playing overmodded KSP.

Building helicopters that work is hard.
Flying helicopters, even if they work, is harder.
Making these helicopters launch shit that impacts reasonably close to its intended target is mildly unpleasant.

I'm really impressed with everything System Shock did at the time that it did it. Holy shit.

Tons of voice-overs, full 3D environments. The weird cyberspace flight tunnel portions are kinda terrible but the rest of the game has a really good balance of spooky and shooty.

I also started playing some of the Doom mod "Demonsteele", which is about being ANIME AS FUCK.

Been playing KSP again between bouts of ratslaying, having to worry about reentry heat is a pain in the ass but slowly relearning the game after all this time is pretty fun. Just did my first successful orbit, next step is to try and grind out enough science to research enough parts to make a rocket mun-ready

While KSP's tutorials are imperfect at best, they do teach you how to use maneuver nodes to get an orbit done. They should also teach you about gravity turn.

Or you can take the easy way out and automate routine tasks via mechjeb.

Takeguru · Post by **Takeguru** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 2:36 pm #130453

More like mechpleb

It was the only option for some of the more detailed readouts, but now that other mods exist to do that mechjeb is only there to make the game play itself

I can now get an orbit going again but I am having one fuck of a time doing a min flyby in career mode. The one time I did it properly I forgot to add heat shielding and the whole thing blew up on reentry. I have landed on the mun and got back multiple times in previous versions. This shit is insanely hard

i need to see if there's a sanic mod or something for when you get higher speeds, playing the audio when that happens would be awesome, since i always do it in my head anyway
