    Even if they're more or less sideways in power, I'd like to see more significant impact on tactics. Also, there are only a few sets of armor stats and secondary effects. Lots of room for some creativity.

    Yeah, griefing is the game for some people. I had a bunch of friends that were playing this game but it flamed out quickly. I think it was a combination of the server shitshow and wonky progression mechanics. So, now I have resigned to playing in PUGs, which mostly sucks. You have to join...

    You can earn 12500, in about 20 minutes of mortar farming. They're really going to have to rethink progression, challenges, rewards, economy, etc. I'm at like level 32, have all strategems, about half the ship upgrades, and there isn't a lot more to work toward. Folks have burned through the...

    Helldivers II

    Odds are that I've never had a GM watching one of my games but it does feel like the game varies a lot at a given difficulty. Yesterday, I was playing Impossible difficulty bugs with a PUG and were doing really well, cleared the planet, even when the host had to bail and we were down to three...

    I joined some pugs at difficulty 8 doing mortar farming of the defense/eradicate missions. 3 minutes of fighting for 4k credits, 7 ribbons, and great xp, rinse repeat. That probably needs to be nerfed so that you can only do those types of missions after completing some other mission in the...

    I was thinking about this last night. I prefer the active defense of the Rover over a the passive defense of a shield. One reason is that the Rover is whittling down trains when you're OM to a new objective (or just kiting to try to stay alive). It can be clutch when you're low on ammo/strats.

    Mortars are FF machines but they can be worth it because absolutely fuck up the enemies. The key is to keep moving and keep the baddies at a distance. Even then I may kill you as a teammate occasionally but your life is a sacrifice I am willing to make in defense of Liberty.

    What do you mean by this? Is this something that happens automatically or you guys just randomly picked strats? Also, why does the game sometimes not allow you to add a booster (even if it isn't already in use)? I also noticed sometimes (rarely) you can only bring three strategems. Is this a...

    I've been trying out some lesser used stuff a little disappointed in progression items. Tesla gun seems to have to be pretty close to be effective. I bought the spear and couldn't get it to lock on to anything. The Tesla turret just got shat upon by bots and didn't seem to kill much. I hear...

    Logged out to get the quickplay patch and now can't get back in. What a clusterfuck.

    Just messing with you. Yeah it is crossplay so same issues with server caps. They said today that they would be making more improvements this week. I would go with Master Race PC.

    Is this a serious question?

    From what I hear, it isn't a queue. Some people get in right away, others sit for hours. I've been watching videos and letting it try every 60 seconds. Been doing that for a couple of hours.

    By looking at pre-orders and wishlists? Surely they had some idea of what sort of game they had created. From the sound of it, it isn't just a hardware problem that they can unfuck by buying more server time; their database architecture/code has fundamental problems with the loads they are...

    Where is this file? Not seeing it. Edit- got in but now saying servers at cap again.

    I do PUGs all the time. If you keep trying, eventually one connects. Try the quick play option sometimes too. Far better playing with friends since you can hear them laughing their asses off when you blow them up.

    Not getting progress for the campaign orders. E.g. finishing automaton campaigns is not increasing the count. Is that why they're giving bonus points? Anyway, I am glad to see that these guys are doing well. They put a lot of heart into this game. I hope they get the problems sorted out...

    What is this shit at 10am on week day? These guys have a potential gold mine here if they can quit stepping on their dicks. I will never understand how companies continue to have problems with issues around servers and matchmaking. Like of all the shit that can go wrong, properly scaling your...

    I picked this up a few days ago. It's fun. I actually popped for the DLC because I liked the some of the work they had put into the game and I'd like to see it get better. I have a feeling it will get a little old before long doing the same mechanics a retard levels of difficulty. The...

    Well, seeing as the Valheim team can't seem to put out content updates in a reasonable time, maybe this one will be something to do. I love the genre.

    Smokers / Grills

    I need a new smoker. I have owned a couple of electric models that worked great for me but the controllers eventually died. Other than that, I have had great results using them for chicken, ribs, shoulders, and especially brisket. RANT. I also have a Traeger but I guess I am atypical in...

    Goodell can eat a bowl of dicks. Just sat down with my blanky and a fire to watch MIA at KC and see this Peacock bullshit. Faggots.

    The Enjenir

    I tried the demo. You have to control the individual arms/legs of the ragdoll engineer himself for walking, climbing, moving shit, etc., and he falls down all the time. It's funny for about 30 seconds and then it is just annoying.

    What are you playing?

    I bought the War of the Chosen DLC for XCOM2 at $3 during the BF sales. Definitely one of the best returns on investment I have made on Steam.

    They found pieces of this plane on a beach in Africa but, yeah, it was probably interdimensional and/or time travelling entities that disappeared it.

    Cash is flowing the wrong way. I picked up UBOAT for $11 because I am a bit of a sub nerd and have wanted to like this game. This was my 3rd time trying it...and returning it. Just could not get into the crew micromanagement. I wish Wolfpack had the some of its meta and mission features but...

    Satisfactory

    I have started this game a few times but I seldom get too far because it just seems so daunting to play it solo. Also, is there an end goal at all? I think with Factorio there was a scenario to get off the planet, right? Anything like that?

    I have been watching this one since it appeared out of nowhere last week. Pretty good reviews but is there any depth to it?

    Your reasoning is sound but wrong in this case. I gave up alcohol a few months ago.

    Return to Moria

    I wanted to circle back on this one to say I was wrong. Some friends of mine convinced me to give this a second look, which I did, and I have had a blast. I have been delighted several times by what we have encountered along the way through this story and game loop is pretty good. Here are...

    Manor lords

    Been watching this for a long time, on their Discord and such. I learned about it a few years ago when Bannerlord was in EA and sucking. 3 years later and Bannerlord has barely improved but this is ready. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

    Return to Moria

    I took one for the team so you don't have to and tried this out since some of my bros are into it. You're constantly being attacked and combat is really tedious. I refunded it after just under a couple of hours because I thought it was just annoying. I could see major fans of LotR universe...

    Return to Moria

    Word is that it is a pretty mediocre open world survival game with a LOTR skin. Valheim is a much better experience at half the price. Have not played it yet but my understanding is: Combat is tedious. You can only dig in certain areas. You can only build inside your base area (I think this...

    Yeah I was also looking at maybe going to watch the Saturday game at my alma mater. Much cheaper. Richer experience in many ways. They jack the fuck out of the hotel prices though.

    Long time ago, I was a Colts season ticket holder for a few years, until we moved out of state. Going to be in Indy this weekend and thought I might take the kids to see a game since I have not been in the stadium since the "new" one was built and I seldom get them on TV in my area. HOLY FUCK...

    So this is coming out next week, right? What's the word on it? Is it going to suck? Have not been seeing much hype but my gaming crew is pretty excited about it.
