You've have to go to all that effort to find the community mod to patch it and then you'd enjoy all that time with your talking deathclaw, you know, the one no other game has. Maybe there's a mod to make them even more cool?

Already got it patched.
And I don't think there's that many mods for 2.
Maybe in a few years the Russkis will have done it, the absolute madmen, and Molten Clouds will be out.

Battle Brothers is great, except for when I'm getting my ass pounded by undead since everyone runs away, even my flag bearer.

If your flag bearer is running away, you've done something horribly wrong

I've been playing halo 5, a lot. I haven't been able to play space memes cuz tablet it shit and doesn't work, and to make up for my lack of RP I joined a (halo) cult so thats been pretty fun. I am very robust at halo 5.
2.9 KDA, 950+ rounds played, get on my level (which is 102)

Also I got Grand Theft Auto V from a friend who recieved a digital version of the game so thats great, my character looks like John Wick. Very low level though (only level 8) spent all of today looking for a mustang that looks like John Wicks car, so far no luck.

Gta 5 character

Been playing.sims 4 with all the shit again and im addicted.
Within the past 6 days (144 hours) I've spent 100 hours actively playing sims 4.
Rimworld I stopped. Boring.
Trying to get back into fallout 4 but I don't like the boring 5 minute main quests and they are a billion at a time.
Skyrim is boring as all hell too.
Got Elder scrolls online. Was fun for the first 70 hours then friends abandoned the game when I bought it to play with them. At least met a new friend.
My life has devolved into idle/clicker games.

Any good recommendations?

CosmicScientist wrote:Hey, Paradox couldn't stomach the Swastika in HoI4 even outside Germany and they're a Swedish company.

I think that's mostly because removing them for the German version would require e f f o r t.

Well, I have the flags in question now.

They're half-transparent and the folds of the fabric are in the .dds, so I need to be very careful with adding my beloved Nazi symbols.
All this effort for shit you're gonna blast apart anyway.

I've decided that my gimp skills were insufficient and am now practising long-range castration.

*Golf clap*

Fun fact
Aliens stop doing that on higher difficulties in that game. It actually changes their behavior.
They stop running blindly around corners into reactionfire, and instead they start using grenades

Because of this, I´ve found it easier on higher difficulties because the aliens stopped running in front of my guys, exhausting all my reaction fire, and then shooting my guys in completely suicidal attempts to just fuck up someone. They actually tried to survive, and this made them easier to box in and push shields against

not even gonna be mad at you
fallout with realistic bullet physics would be neat as fuck

Depends entirely on the Fallout game and your definition of "combat system" tbh

but cutting their arms already is disarming them
you are being redundant

Klara's dojo is a hoax.

Qbopper wrote:>not being literally 12 and aiming for the groin whenever possible

I remember playing Soldier of Fortune and usually aimed for the crotch, one hit kill if i got it with a better chance of hitting something even if i was off target.

New Vegas.
Modded out the ass and on hardcore it's both pretty tacticool (hey, bullet drop!) and almost survival horror (hey, zip visibility at night!)

Quite a fair amount of red orchestra rising storm at the moment, popped some americans with a arikana rifle at 140 yards, i would upgrade to a sniper but usually those are full during games. Not that you really need a scope to snipe.

CosmicScientist wrote:Is Old Money affected well by the visibility change? I was young and afraid of it when I first played, mainly because it was one of the few dead environments of fallout and the glowing eyed zombie things didn't even have a face or body to show off, just eyes and they would come in as soon as you did something important so I dreaded their appearance each time I reached a quest objective. Also the fugging gas clouds. Hey you're allowed to walk into the deadly thing, it's not going to go away and it's not the thing you're supposed to be concerned about, good luck with navigating!

Dead Money, you mean?
No idea, I'm barely level 4 and there's no way I'm braving Dead Money until near the level cap. Shit's deadly as fuck.

Also tedious as fuck.

Dead money I fucking hated. The story was cool but it was bullshit. One should play it, but the story is completed when you do all the dlc. Honest hearts actually ties in heavily to the legion story. And lonesome road, thematically should be done right before the final battle if you ask me.

CosmicScientist wrote:Sorry, yeah, Dead Money.

You don't have to go back there if it's too tedious. But I wanna know if it's scawier

It's not as though it's possible to be short of caps in a 3D Fallout.

With the mods I got?
Happens all the fucking time. Barter is actually an important skill now, and those asshole merchants will strip you clean of caps, chems, cells, cartridges and clothes just so you can afford another bottle of water.

yes
plus vicious wastes, which apparently builds on jsawyer to make hardcore even harder
plus a few other things to make new vegas closer to a classic fallout game

Brigador is so good.

It's like a Syndicate, Desert Strike and MechWarrior put together.



You can take Rail Gun and punch through a row of 10 aparment buildings cleanly through.

played Spelunky HD multiplayer with Leoz (we used frozlunky for multiplayer) yesterday for an hour and 21 minutes.
Despite the distance between us it was surprisingly responsive.

Aw shit, i bout that game for me and a friend without knowing it didn't have online multiplayer, I might need to try out whatever you were doing

Armhulen wrote:Aw shit, i bout that game for me and a friend without knowing it didn't have online multiplayer, I might need to try out whatever you were doing

Frozlunky, lets you install mods/set map seeds/play multiplayer over internet (2 players max) - this bit requires port forwarding or something like tungle/hamachi.
It's a free program.

Frozlunky is really damn good. We had like 200 ping, but it was running flawless. And this is not even an official multiplayer, just a mod. And spelunky is pretty fun(especially when you are a ghost and throw enemies at your friends).

Grrrrr

Spelunky is amazing fun, it is fucking baffling to me that the devs did not bother developing online multiplayer

Wyzack wrote:Spelunky is amazing fun, it is fucking baffling to me that the devs did not bother developing online multiplayer

Now that's not fair.
Do you know for sure they didn't bother? or just weren't able to do it justice so rather than shipping broken multiplayer they went for good local multiplayer.
Netcode in video games is complex shit.

I suppose what i meant was that I am surprised they did not stick with it to develop it, as if it was online capable i would have a very easy time convincing my friends to buy it

You say it would bring in sales, but would that offset the costs of (most likely) outsourcing development of the multiplayer to a competent team?
I'm not quite so sure.

online multiplayer spelunky's a thing? i used to play the shit out of that game
