i'm aware of that, it's why i was unbelievably excited for it

i'm still disappointed in the story, but i'm also able to separate that from the fun i had with the gameplay segments, even if it still blows my goddamn mind that they ended up just literally giving you cassette tapes with important revelations on them after the credits, and how it just makes you repeat missions until you eventually get to play the ending one for some reason

but whatever it's not a big deal either way

I'm more pissed off that Konami wouldn't even let them properly wrap up the first half storyline. That was the longest Jeep ride I've ever experienced.

I'm not saying it ruined the game for me. The gameplay is amazing and I still love picking it up now and then, but holy hell the finale to everything story related just made the lorefag in me cry.

Got cuphead and darkwood. Both good.

CrunchyCHEEZIT · Mon Oct 02, 2017 11:44 pm

Bouncing a little between XCOM 2 and Stellaris, what with each games new expansions. I'm also gonna be coming back to Team Fortress 2 this month, in hopes of Scream Fortress being actually good this year, and because I'm nostalgic. Overwatch hasn't been doing it for me as of late.

I'm sure this has already been said, but I'm probably gonna pick up Cuphead too. Looks fucking fantastic. Anyone here got it yet? What does it play like?

Deitus · Post by **Deitus** » Tue Oct 03, 2017 2:26 am #343171

its hard as balls, but pretty fun. its been said before but you can really tell that they put a lot of effort and passion into the game.

basically you progress through overworlds super mario-style and select stages, most of them bosses with some more "traditional" platformer levels inbetween that you can get coins in to purchase upgrades. the only flaw i can really see is that its pretty short, but its still very much worth the money imo. never really feels like "cheap" deaths so much as just you forgot an attack pattern and didnt dodge/parry correctly.

recommended.

Last time I played the VS had a no-bullet-drop sniper rifle that was an instant headshot kill up to 220m even with a silencer on.
Did I mention it had unlimited ammo?

A few snipers behind the enemy lines can really piss off people when they take cover from incoming fire and then die anyway while the screen cams to a tiny little speck far away

Most players can't be arsed to go hunt down the sniper, they'll assume someone else does it. Meanwhile the snipers have thinned the enemy line and that helps push

The main difference between sniping and vehicles is that sniping isn't pay to win.

Reinstalled and merged my 300-ish Skyrim mods and am praying the game doesn't break more than usual.
If it doesn't I can add some more mods.

ColonicAcid · Post by **ColonicAcid** » Sat Oct 07, 2017 3:20 pm #344620

you become fascist by promoting fascism party popularity and then allowing a fascist revolt to take your country over.

this is how you become whatever extreme party you want btw, you basically let them win the civil war.

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Sat Oct 07, 2017 7:52 pm #344703

Specifically, LOSING a war, and especially if you cede territory, causes revangism(Spelling is fucked, whatever). Which boosts fascist rebel chances
You may also need high consciousness/literacy, or they will spawn as other rebels. I'm pretty sure almost every single other rebel faction gets priority over the fascists

They keep voting in liberals. I haven't had a socialist party in once despite the millions of communist revolts (I don't know if that meant I killed off a significant proportion of both shades of red voter). I still have most of the social policies to pass.

And now you know how the Germans feel today
But a few things
First, yeah. Your techs and social policies will reduce militancy and revolts while allowing consciousness to stay up
Second, you get a cool new flag if you go fascist. Who wouldn't want that?
And third, I remember there was a tech requirement to unlock fascism too. But I forgot which it was. You'll really need to align everything just right for fascism to happen

Same shit here

Except it's a tiny country so every time the government raises sales tax with the idea that it will bring in more money, it actually reduces the amount of tax income they get
You may ask- Why?
And I will tell you

It's an hour and then some by car to get to Germany, where these taxes are way less than here. It's already considered completely normal to go to Germany once a month to go shopping, but with the next tax hike it will become weekly

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Tue Oct 10, 2017 5:46 pm #345446

As German, living in Germany is way too fucking cheap. Food prices especially are so low compared to our neighbouring countries it's absurd.

it's not exactly easy to distinguish "ribbing between two oldfags" and "I'm going to attack this guy over nothing like half the people on the forums do" when I don't know you that well
