    Helldivers II

    I start to get the feeling and worry that this game is sliding into the 'You're not playing it right' Dev Mentality and its going to really hurt the game long run if its not avoided. The Devs seem quick to make changes, which isn't bad per se, but the changes seem to be directed at nerfing...

    Helldivers II

    The bugs (coding ones) and glitches are constant. Its starting to get a little frustrating. Strategem UI not opening properly. Getting stuck in weird animation lock that makes changing weapons or aiming impossible. Had one yesterday where we couldn't get the reinforce to work. Everyone had...

    Helldivers II

    I understand stragglers spawning breaches and the robots that shoot off the flares. What I am talking about is the game just spawning in patrols out of thin air. I never remember that prior, but since this patch I keep seeing it.

    Helldivers II

    I want to see if anyone else has been noticing this, or if it is just something I am getting wrong... When I started Helldivers I didn't really like it. Bullet hell, constant fights. Then I had a good group who actually avoided patrols, played smart and did objectives without feeling the need...

    Helldivers II

    I just wanted to revisit this to say that since I noticed they had turned crossplay back on during an update and I fixed it, my gameplay has improved significantly. None of the trolls and problems that I experienced the day or two prior. So... yeah. PC Master race and all that. On another...

    Helldivers II

    Have you all been encountering more griefing and team killing recently? I have had people melee me off objectives when I was entering the codes. I had a dude die, and I picked the samples he dropped only to have him shotgun me in the back once he was back in game to grab the stuff off me. I...

    Nightingale

    So, for crafting and stats transfering the the crafted equipment.... Each piece of equipment only has certain stats available. For instance, you can't get stamina stats on a weapon iirc. So if you put stamina materials into your weapon its wasted. Part of the crafting system is learning what...

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    Commodities are set up as a trading game. They have designed markets such that some areas/cultures make stuff so its cheap to buy sell, and other areas don't have it so will pay more. Its an attempt to make it so people can play merchants and if you look at some of the voice options I believe...

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    I am fully on board with Ubisoft eating a bowl of dicks, but Paul Tassi's article is also pretty much just vapid shit. He complains the game costs too much and will have microtransactions and that it is called a 'complete game' but is a live service that will have updates and expansions. That...

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    It is a holy trinity MMO hidden behind a pirate skin. Its not bad, but not great either. If you think of it like your normal fantasy MMO mechanics it all makes more sense. You spawn in as your boat, eventually skilling it up to picking a 'class' of DPS, healing, or tank based on the type of...

    DOTA 2

    Watching GG vs Azure last night with ODPixel casting was prolly the first game I've watched where I felt like it was exciting. Pretty certain the caster had something to do with it, but it was nice to see a quick, push your shit in and win the game strat instead of the long grindy slugfest of...

    DOTA 2

    I like Sheever and have watched her play and stream. She really has grinded it out and learned the game and players, even if she personally isn't skilled she understands whats going on. Something else I realized after reading your post and watching some of today's stream is the casting and...

    DOTA 2

    Couple of things. As a pub player, patch feels really bad to play in for me and I hear a lot of other people complaining about it as well. Very brawly, and really not well balanced feeling. There has been changes to a lot of items (BKB for one) that changes the way the game plays. There are...

    DOTA 2

    Passes used to have cosmetics and voice lines and shit you could unlock and keep that were pretty baller. This year there have 'gone in a new direction' and there are no permanent voice lines or cosmetics. Just some fantasy football prediction type shit and some 'win with this pro players...

    Browning M2 .50 cal Machine Gun. Aka Ma Deuce, aka Fun. I was a .50 gunner for a couple rotations, so pardon me while I have a love affair with this gun.

    So yeah. Gonna be that guy. In the game, the characters are not bisexual. There is no sexual relationship at all. Japan apparently understands people can be friends without fucking, unlike Hollywood writers and all the degenerates in the West. Now the community? Yeah. It has its...

    The Last of Us

    Its interesting listening to this. Its off topic, but I'll throw in a few things for your enjoyment. I know of a JRTC training rotation where the OPFOR there was training what I believe were Filipino soldiers. They did the usual ambush techniques and American reaction most always was to...

    I believe it is a loose attempt at cosplaying this character.
