    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    In theory it lets you customize your squad a bit more, but I agree I end up using either the story/special characters (because they have unique perks/abilities) or stuff like astromechs. Again it kind of comes down to the limited squad size - why would I bring a random recruit when I can...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    I stuck with the sniper rifle - made my sniper character do a secondary in scoundrel since it lets you ignore armor as a passive. They're basically an overwatch/assist terror. I enjoyed the mission on Bespin when you get to use that special unit - I basically spent their entire turn tossing...

    Stargate SG-1

    Pretty much - it's a power scale nerf since humans were basically god tier by the end of the shows, but they leave the door open to introduce stuff as needed.

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    This game could do that easily - I've noticed it's version of dark events are permanent and usually you can only prevent 1 at any given time from going into effect Like my options were coil units all get grenades or melee hits build resonance. Grenades was the easy choice to get rid of since...

    Both were. Although Artax was probably more traumatizing because as a little kid you thought the horse actually died

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    The 4 man squad limit is my biggest complaint about the game - it really limits your ability to mix and match or experiment more. It becomes even more frustrating on missions where it has some arbitrarily short time limit to do an action while simultaneously tossing 15 enemies at you. I had to...

    Ya the trailer had like a crane that didn’t work or something? I barely remember that part of the toy because I never used it either My parents gave away my Transformer toys when I was a kid because I got guilted into giving them permission to give them away by like 4 adults lol

    It still goes hand in hand with resources. If you look back in history, the people who became kings typically controlled the food. Once that system is in place, you don’t have many options. If you control the food, then you have a chance to become the new elite class, which allows you to...

    The First Descendant

    Considering their daily user count on steam, 6000ish is pretty damn high. You’d be banning a huge chunk of your active gaming population. Those 62 must have been giga exploiting for days on end, whereas I imagine most people tried it for like an hour or so and got bored

    You’re thinking too narrow on resources in terms of commodities. Land itself is a resource. The Puritan extremists that came over to the Americas wanted to establish their version of an ideal society that Europe wanted nothing to do with. Land, stuff to build with, food = resources The...

    The fat alien mechanic has a talent that refunds all AP if you kill a unit with an upper cut. I haven’t come across others yet

    Wouldn't be surprised if it was a Mandolorian since this takes place during the Clone Wars

    Game is pretty unforgiving on hard once you get past the early missions. Clone trooper dude is great but the AP bottleneck is real with him and he is slow AF

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Usually the easiest fix is setting fps from infinite to a different number. I had that problem in Helldivers, the video card would go nuts on some missions or during loading. Once I capped frames, it fixed it I capped frames at like 120 or something and everything on ultra and it runs/looks...

    Human migration like that is driven by one thing: resources. Be it resources you can use to build your civilization, or resources you can use to gain different resources (aka get rich selling it). The 2nd reason is more or less deleted if it takes decades or more of travel. I mean sure, you...

    There has to be enough people using the new C64s to make it at least worth it from a niche perspective. I occasionally watched videos from a channel called Retro Recipes and they were big into restoring old computers, but they invested in the new C64 production and most of their new stuff is...

    Except they are stuck there with no external way to resupply. Size is also a factor of population - the ship in the expanse was big from our perspective, but what about with 5000 people? 10000? more? You're going to have to manage your resources - when you start getting into decades or...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    My understanding is they were approached by EA to make it, but no clue how much involvement EA had. Can almost 99.9% guarantee lack of official mod support is from EA’s influence - why give for free what you can charge money for

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    A few streamers have early access. Was watching the tutorial mission - between skirmishes you can WASD in third person behind the shoulder to move the squad through the mission at times. Effects seem nice for gunfire/explosions. Hard to tell from the tutorial alone - I know xcom had pretty...

    Most of the weapons are glorified Stat sticks for most characters and some (like the new kings guard lance) are bugged and don’t refresh the turrets when they shoot

    OG Xcom devs makes me want this. Only thing that will kind of suck is because of EA there is no official mod support. Mods have kept Xcom2 alive for over a decade

    Her husband died about a year ago. It’s not uncommon for long time married spouses to die within a year or two of the other. They were married for close to 60 years

    Warning signs for games lacking content are usually increase in tedium - make run of the mill stuff harder to get or increase the amount of stuff you need.

    In that GoT RTS game, if you play as the white walkers can you just raise the enemies dead units to fight for you? That would be pretty lol if so

    Maybe. Let's say you figure out the deep space travel part - reliable craft that can travel for decades or hundreds or thousands of years without a hitch while keeping everyone alive the entire time. At that point question becomes why? You're too far to trade or make things economically...

    Manned Moon landings are much more difficult than LEO or rovers They may still beat us back to the moon if we don’t get the lander shit sorted out. Long term Starship would be beneficial if the cargo capacity pans out, since it will significantly reduce the costs of setting up a base. Short...

    In the 2010s or so, it was relatively more recent. I haven't had a Dominos pizza since the 80s and as a kid I usually ranked them below Pizza Hut or later Papa Johns. I don't think I've had a chain pizza since the 90s thinking back. When you live in an area that has a ton of...

    I think some of the hate stems from the fact you don’t have 22 episode seasons anymore.
