    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    I'd play it, if I werent playing MnM.. but I just like to point and shoot people in the face; taking their shit is just icing.. on top of talking shit to console players; idk what beats that imo.. Realistically, while whatever can be said good/bad.. it just needs to stay in the 20-30k steam...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    While i'd say its not surprising that RE9 being ahead of a game not even released, ontop of it being two entirely different crowds but w/e doesn't really matter as far as the R6, I wouldn't be surprised if it rebounds the other direction in a week or two; Snake just got added today(ontop of a...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    I'd say its pretty mid. It's fun if you like the game and want a sorta competitiveness to your gameplay.. it'll definitely pull those types of players away from Arc Raiders and maybe a little bit from Tarkov.. They don't really do a whole lot that is revolutionary to the genre, just filling in...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    The easiest answer is that people who play counter-strike, really only play counter-strike. I'm on and off of it since I don't really care to climb anymore(played since '00, played in various leagues, and have played in FPL).. so I just shit on low elo when I do hop on but i'm still in circles...

    In Oct I went to Fest, and was surprised that midwest emo actually goes pretty hard live.. definitely a lot more rage and angst than the studio sound.. not that any of these are midwest emo but just some stand outs.. best live show was 100% The Eradicators. - YouTube bunch of others...

    Thats nice of them.. if you didn't reset, you can catchup.. presumably by the amount required; 1 mil per point?

    Luckily for me atleast.. nobody I know personally who plays or have played cares about the story beats and put more on interesting gameplay offered in a shooter that is moba esq(pool of heroes with unique skillsets). While i'm sure there is a world where that specifically works in regards to a...

    I don't play much myself anymore, but I watch Flats talk about it abit; but essentially OW due to Rivals has made some really good changes that has solidified it's hardcore player base to stay, and the casuals drip feeding back in.. while napkin math in regards to which one is doing better, he...

    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    Never seen it, but I'm sure it is as magnificent as you say. I don't mean to say this film will be a master piece, but it might be the best motu we'll ever get; which isn't saying much. That bar is low, and just hoping for "fun." I'm optimistic but Jared Leto just seems like a splinter in the...

    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    I get the jadedness of wokeness and identity politics; but I chuckled at the He/Him.. and while the whole master at arms being black is weird; I like Idris enough, and the fact they kept the porn stash was really my only requirement. I recently watched the 80's cartoon, within the last 5...

    After it started catching waves from streamers complaining, to becoming more common usage to the average person; i nearly "quit" because every fight was a series of trigger nades. Now it's a blast because people are still using it like they would, and are getting caught for it. They're still...

I finally ran into someone doing the extract camp glitch at seed vault. tldr you crawl up and hide on the other side of the fan, and it won't extract you. I'm 4/4 or 5/5 beating extract campers on stella montis, other maps not so successful...

    I think that was probably one of the most interesting things that they said they were focusing on via devs.. was that they wanted to focus on asymmetrical combat.. so I think while the US will outclass them in armament, i'm curious how the vc will have home team//defense advantage. I think the...

    It's a window, you don't have to reset at this window.. but I believe you will have to wait til next window; is how i'm understanding it.. Right now, that window is the Dec 17-22.. and I'd guess the next window is somewhere around March/April.

    I haven't done the math, but according to someone who noticed the same thing.. the other two-ish million was part of the quest's to do the expedition. I know the donations alone were roughly 900k.. but all the pieces and parts, not sure if that equals the rest. I just accepted it at his word.

    People enjoy the elusive carrot on a stick.. same reason people grind for golden skins, rare mounts, or high rank. Ego, pride, and vanity? Personally, i'm just looking for something to do. I'm not much of a looter, so going in and out of raids getting the highest value isn't really my thing...

    If they do, I can't really put my finger on the math.. because I almost exclusively do free kits on stella montis; atleast 90% of my playtime by this point.. and i'm running up against people with IV's more than half the games(synth fuel op).. I've had night's where i've been waxed all night...

    I think it's sorta the opposite because the lack of punishment and the consistent of que and go the game offers with constant dopamine hit of reward/loot.. Tarkov is 1.0 and still 5-10minute ques. ABI had lukewarm hype, the hype mostly stemmed from a competitor to Tarkov because Tarkov is doing...

    I think there is things they're not saying but ultimately; it'll be something I will do but I don't expect everyone to do it.. Blueprints are cool, but its not gating me from doing anything. Currently, since Stella Montis.. 90% of my personal playtime has been Stella Montis free kit PvP'ing...

    I feel like the writing was on the wall for this one specifically. Don't disagree some form of respec'ing should be available.. but while I haven't put in many hours today post nerf; I don't know if it's still not strong.. just not as strong. I finished the Expedition Project(5??) that is...

    You take a lot of penalties to no stamina buff/benefits.

    this.. they've talked about a 10 year plan and to have it just be a PvE looter shooter; it wasn't viable. This is Embark's baby, and they even got early access to UE5 to do it. Though I think BurntPeanut said it best, is the real test of this game is will it be a 500hr game, or a 5,000hr...

    Are you talking about the loot runs? If I don't have any keys, I just slam the outer drawbridge area of the south dam for loot, which has two breach rooms between the down ramps and one of which has 2 security containers... It's almost exclusively player loot; nades gun heals ammo.. If I spawn...

    I didn't mean to put upgrade haha, but yeah. As far as blueprint dupes, they're 5k credits.. which I guess isn't much when you can't stack it but I frequently have em on me to sell via security container // key room runs for selling.

    Not that it matters, really it's only been a week. Dev's had said they have a 10 year plan for it. So i'm interested enough to see how the AI encounters evolve with the use of Machine Learning from day 1 to year 1 to year 5. I think the trials is kinda the sorta "end game" prog as of now...

    Gear degrades rather quickly. I lose 40-60% durability on shields after one drawn-out fight(I never repair past 60% anyways if it can be helped). I've looted bodies with broken and/or incredibly low durability, so it's hard to refresh.. they're also heavy, so choosing to continue fighting...

    They surprisingly do move. There are a lot of people who invested 100$ and end up having 5,000$ worth of stuff. The more damning part is the Chinese "investors" have been manipulating the market with pump and dump strategies by buying up cheap skins and stickers that no longer drop...

    Yeah, i'm retarded. I thought it was another mod via BF2. A friend of mine told me about the insurgency saga mod a couple months back but we went to play the one for Squad instead which was pretty cool at the time.. but it was more for the vehicle threat, and running duo sapping basically.
