>>474882308Another niche one for testing:>Combat Simulatorhttps://www.nexusmods.com/battlebrothers/mods/564>>474885614How am I trying to ruin anything?The only objectionable thing I see in my list is Show enemy stats, because it's giving the player info they'd normally have to guesstimate from the text descriptions. But I think personally for me it eeks out as QoL because having to memorize what durability an armor has just off its looks isn't really a challenge. Just takes time
>>474885614>fuck you for trying to ruin the gameWhat the fuck are you talking about?? Literally all he did was post some mods he recommends to people, new or old. That new people (like myself) shouldn't install too many mods (or any) should be a given, that isn't his fault.
Lone wolf tanks just built different. Bro soloing 4 orc warriors for 9 turns and still hasn't gotten hit
>>474859723God bless those silly spears, holy shit they're great so far! Spearwall is such a meme ability, with the AI running into it head first 3-4 times in a row if they don't get though. Crippling Strikes and Executioner feel like a fun combo too, but I'm not too sure about that yet. Buying quality, carefully picked, units at the start with decent equipment helped a fuck ton too.>>474317819Goddamn the soundtrack is good.

>>474895141Ah fuck man, I fucking despise Ubisoft because so many of their games had tacked-on multiplayer modes that ended up amazing, and then they just stopped making them. Hell, even Blacklist's Spies vs Mercs was a load of fun.

>>474892534Here's a track that isn't used in the game but which I think is really prettyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwtX1tqcmls
>>474896641Think of it as a prototype of this trackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeqVuqmEJNQ
One time one of my characters got his nose chopped off as a permanent injury. Then some battles later he got the "broken nose" temporary injury. Headcanon is that his severed nose got stepped on at the previous battlefield at the exact moment he got hit at the current location
>>474882308thanks, the game sounds cool

>Three Webknecht quests in a rowHell to the fuck no, the last two fights were hell as it is. I seriously need to get out of the fucking woods.
>>474931934what's wrong bro. you a pussy? you scared? ezfight
Not quite sure what it is, or where I have to seriously improve, but the balancing on easy feels very off to me. Even though the game defaulted to it on first boot, contract payout and fights still feel oddly hard. I'm not asking to steam roll everything mind you, but to have an "easy-ish time" fighting, while not having to struggle with money constantly. My current run is by far the best I've had since starting, but the money struggles still make things a good challenge and by no means easy, resulting in every single casualty being a huge hit. When I see guys that cost 1-2k it's already something, but then there is 5-10k people too which blows my mind, not to mention non-combat followers thing. I like the game mind you, far more than I originally expected, but man is it playing hard to get with me.
>>474935943Always assume a contract involving beasts is at least one skull higher than what it actually says. Early game you honestly don't want to bother with anything that isn't bandit contracts. Beast contracts are not worth the risk early on imo. You need to gear up first.
>>474937271Addendum: if the contract is for a tiny zombie camp then that's ok too. Just pace yourself.
>>474937271 >>474937516>Three skull quest, with a 1950 gold payout (biggest yet)>Turns out to be a "Defend raids" quest>"It's going to be fiiiiiiine" I thought to myself>Suddenly I see TWO armies attacking the village>Each is lead by a necromancer and 12 soldiersWonder if I should abandon ship or not.>Beast contracts are not worth the risk early onIf it wasn't for the darn AI, beast quests wouldn't feel remotely as bad as they are. Having 5 orcs be a menace I'm fine with, it's what I expect. But I don't expect a few spider to be more deadlier than some bandits are barbarians. Doesn't help that the feeling of lacking money makes you desperate for contracts, even beast ones.
>>474878791>Finally went into Louisville in Zomboid. Made it to the gun store to the north east. Made out like a bandit then died to my truck getting bogged down by bodies not even a mile from my base in West point.
>>474941520Well, depends on what your company looks like. Do you have any cleavers?Also, a trick which might help you in other situations (but maybe not this one, because necromancer): If you have a tough fight ahead, you can try to lure a 3rd party into combat. Like just another enemy party in the map, get them to chase you and start the original fight when they're close. That way you will have a three-way, and you can let the enemies beat the shit out of each other and you fight the weakened guys.
>>474942046>Do you have any cleaversAre those their kryptonite or somethin??
>>474943425Zombies don't get back up if you decapitate them. Cleavers have a decapitate move. Fallen Heroes don't give a shit though, they will still get up without a head.You can still decapitate without a cleaver of course, it's just easier. Cleavers also come in very clutch when an enemy has high health but little/no armor.
>>474944497>Decapitation is how you beat the necro cuckWell shit, shoulda figured that myself. Really neat how much depth there is in the fighting, a lot more than I expected.
>>474944497*it's just harder, meant to say
https://youtu.be/0IYDTw2EznI>NimbleI sleep>BattleforgedI sleep>NimbleforgedREAL SHIT
>Necromancer gets multiple turns in a row>Revives like 6 corpses one turn>In the forest he sometimes does fucking nothing, probably because of some coprse/space blocking shitThis is some bull-fucking-shit
>>474953891Normally they can only do 2 revives per turn. How did they get multiple turns in a row? How tired were your guys? Was it a champion necro or a regular one? Because champions can revive up to 3 times per turn
>>474955968I guess they were just tired, no idea. I was going to rant this post, but that wouldn't help anyway. Hard skill issue I guess.
>>474944497>>474945063Also it might be implicit but smashing a zombie's head in will also do the same thing. It doesn't HAVE to be decapitation>>474958630Yeah fights against undead are fatigue checks, since they don't get tired and you do.
>give battlebros a try because of all these posts>start campaign called (tutorial)>recommended for new players as it includes some helpful guidance in the beginning>it actually tells me jackshit about combat or map view gameplaynice
>>474967418Germans can't into tutorialsYou might be interested in this post >>474671426
>>474967683yeah I saw there are tutorial vids in the menu too but it was funny how the campaign version is nothing
I really should get around to trying Troubleshooter at some point, I've had it installed for a year now.
>>474980275you install games and then don't even play them once for months? wack
>>474980460I got distracted by other things. Mostly Factorio
>>474967418>>474972128Yeahhh, the tutorial is.. not much of a tutorial, not beyond "go here and do this" to explain the VERY bare minimum. Then again, I still think that "Easy" difficulty is not even remotely easy enough either, but that's me being bad at games.
I wish I had time to play battlebros
>>474988368Make time, loser!
Started a new campaign to join everybody else. Standard origin, expert combat, expert economy, low funds, ironman. I did leave map explored though. I don't want the full cock and ball torture experience right now.Came at Hoggart in the dead of night in the snow. Lost a bro in an attempt to bonk the bastard in the head and get his armor, but it didn't pan out. It's ok though, it wasn't one of the OG's.
>>474994503>bonk the bastard in the head and get his armorIs that another "deepst gameplay" thing that I don't know about?
>>474996238Dude wasn't wearing a hat. Dudes that don't wear hats are exceptionally vulnerable to getting bonked in the noggin. One of my guys happened to have a 1h flail, which has an attack that always hits the head (if it lands). The less damaged an item is after a battle, the more likely it is to drop as loot. Therefore, if you manage to kill someone without touching their armor, it is very likely you get their armor.Conversely this is why it is very important to give your guys hats. Getting headshotted isn't fun.
>>474996941>vulnerable to getting bonked in the nogginI was aware of that much, thank you.>the more likely it is to drop as lootNo fucking shit, that is how it works? That is what I was curious about, thank you!
>>474998280Np. This is why you want to have stabbing implements, because their puncture ability doesn't damage armor.
not enough games featuring ye olde armour actually depict how good armor isit's always knives slashing through steel breasplates
DEAD, except for Battle Brothering
Goodbye bro. You fought bravely
>>475010729>Is content for now with being in reserveHow does that bit work anyway, is it something you can call in mid fight when you lost someone, or only in the overworld?
>>475010984No, reserve is only in the overworld. Think of it as the bench. They are represented by the bottom slots in the roster screen, the ones with tents. They are bros who are still in your party but who will not appear in combat. Useful for when you don't want the dude who's in critical condition showing up to the next brawl, so he can have time to heal.
Protip to newbs: as a general rule, even your dedicated-ranged bros should have at least a mace as their secondary weapon. A simple wooden stick can buy you a turn in an emergency when the enemy closes with them in melee, because you can switch to the stick and try stunning them.Of course this isn't necessary if you have smoke grenades, footwork, or someone to rotate with.
unholds are gay
>>475015409Get some Indomitable bros
>~1 week in>Come across abandoned fort in a forest while traveling between towns>Sure let's check it out>19 enemies, mix of zombies and nachossorry to bother. you have a pleasant dayBy the way here's another tip: for retreating, try to have your bros either at the edge or next to the edge of the map before you hit the button. That way, they won't be at risk of random injuries.
Not complaining about all the brotherly talks, I was the one that partly started it... But man the general has been EXTRA quiet in the last days.
>>475022181I'll take quiet over whatever the fuck we had for the past couple months
>>475022351Good point. I wonder if I can summon HIM, just for the fun of it.
It's been seven years. I require another Vietnam multiplayer shooter.
>>474944497>Fallen Heroes don't give a shit though, they will still get up without a head.oh wow i didnt know that, i just knifed them to get their armor>>474959782>smashing a zombie's head in will also do the same thing. It doesn't HAVE to be decapitationwhat? how does that work? is that from mods?
Are bows as bad as meta-slaves say they are? Had some people tell me using bows is actively throwing/"ruining your run" This goes for all bows not just the one in pic related
>>475028324Here you go bro https://store.steampowered.com/app/1012110/Military_Conflict_Vietnam/
>>475045045>Very positive Uh. I remember it being a flop when it launched
>>475039520whoever told you that is too lost in the sauce. it all depends on the context of what you're fighting. would i bring a bow to fight barbarian chosen? no. would i bring it to snipe an important backline target? yes. btw if you haven't tried duelist throwers, try them they're fun
>>475035307no, smashing is just blunt damage applied to head til it gets mushy.
>>475039520fast adaption bowmen are very fun
>>475057953Do you exclusively quick shot with them?
I gave this game a try, I think it was mentioned here. Pretty simple, but that what's good about it. You just jump in, do some battles and continue whenever you want. Maybe the UI and some stuff are a bit cheap
>>475060714Yeah Regiments is slept on too often. It's pretty fun
>>475060714>>475060871Really makes you think
>>475060996Reminds me of the times I've seen tactical shooters on youtube and their auto-ID system tags it as "call of duty"
HAHAHA HOLY SHIT WHAT
>>475062497There's some funny gags. Shout out to the melon fucker
To think this was made by Germans, incredible writing.
>>475060301yeah, i found this old savefile where i have 4 of them
>>475063625no bullseye/anticipation on archers? interesting choicei like overwhelm though
>>475063030>back to grinding wheat into flour until I diethis is perfectly on brand for Germans
>>475063897fast adaption works pretty well vs goblins
Just me, or do certain quest almost never feel worth the penny? Delivery quests seem especially bad, either giving you near to nothing, or sending you over half the map, eating away half your payment on the way there.
>>475063897any hit on blocking terrain counts as a hit for fast adaption so there is anti synergy with bullseye (is bullseye the worst perk in the game?)
>>475070180>is bullseye the worst perk in the game?certainly not
Fuck off
>>475054812Glad to know I wasn't throwing my runs. They are really fun to me and I always manage to get a few cheeky snipes on annoying enemies per battle, also will try out duelist thrower when I get a chance
>>475073471Why are you so upset over an image showing diversity, you incel bigot?
>>475073814>will try out duelist thrower when I get a chanceThey completely shit on armored targets. it's great
https://www.nexusmods.com/battlebrothers/mods/654Legends-fags are not ok.
>>474878791Man this game could really benefit on some after battle flavor text. "Wilreich fought valiantly, and we buried him past the local graveyard by a tree, the rest have dogs feasting on their bones". The enemy was destroyed with pictures of your men cut down is pretty drab. Rest of the game has good writing so this seems kinda out of place. Should care about your mercenary band and the stories they produce.
>>475084730>RNG is the biggest flaw in the game
>>475063030>>475062497I don't think Casey Hollingshead is a German.
>>475035307You can also loot the weapon off the ground so that if they get back up, they got nothing but bites
>>475086248>You can loot their weapons mid fightHUH???
>>475086516Yeah. Very helpful specially early game when your weapons are crappy. Can also loot shields mid-fight
>A fucking hagOh well, at least it's not more necro cucks or Alpträume.>>475086969Talking about good to fucking know
>>475087278Your archers' time has come
>>475088118YOU GOT THAT RIGHT
>>475088886Well done, however be careful in the future unleashing the dogs on witches. If she had hexed one of your bros and your dog attacked her, it could've been a very bad time
>>475088886also lmao at that mind controlled guy at the bottom going "wuh-huh???" after she dies
>>475089917this is really the only fucking annoying thing about this fight. it makes it really not even worth the trouble

Slowly but steadily, my crack team of Brothers is coming together! It took me a few runs, not to mention bullshitting, but I'm having fun. Money is a lot better too, but still nothing where I can say "Let's buy us a non-combat dude!" or something. Hoping that the war is going to get me some noble contracts to finally fix that.

I sorta get how you make friends with villages or cities, but how the fuck do I make friends with entire factions, or get into contact with nobles? Getting a bit annoying that I can't get contracts from castles, only cities.
>>475103648You gotta go pro. Complete pic related ambition. Since I don't see a banner in your company, you still need to unlock that first

I'm usually not big on flavor boxes like this, but the writing style has had a bunch of fun moments so far.
>>475113587Yeah the writing is a highlight
>>475115338Beware of an old man in a profession where men die young

That is certainly one way to do it
Why is it that every time I go to update SPT, the website is dying because Tarkov is burning itself down again? Every fucking time.

>>475132969Oh boy, this copy paste feeling game again. Friend send this to me some days ago, both of us making jokes about the menu being a 1:1 copy of modern CoD, while the customization is taken straight from Tarkov, probably other stuff too.
>>475133513I'm willing to give a chance to pretty much anything after Ubisoft killed siege.
>Do my first full noble quest>Expected a hard battle, not a long quest lineWhile the battle was cool, and loosing some guys was annoying, I would've expected more money out of all of that work. 3K for some "go here, check this, bully peasants, then fight this big army" feels a bit weak, especially when I have to use most of that on repairs and new people.
>>475136334The big reward from Noble War crisis is all the sweet armor and weapons you get
With the Star Wars strategy-esque game in development, my concept that ended up being pretty similar to what Menace sounds like.In the aftermath of Yavin, as the Empire is fracturing and the New Republic scrambles to establish itself you play as the commander of an ISD bound task force sent to secure some shitfuck sector. Balance dealing with rogue Moffs, criminal organizations, local governments, the New Republic and the competing interests of your own officers to secure the sector.Balance and stretch your resources and manpower in turn based ground and space battles as the rebels try to turn and secure the various factions against you.&tg enough?
>>475143048>&tg enough?&tg-ness has to do with gameplay not the setting
>&rg enough?What the guy above me said. Having said that, seeing that CoH and some other RTS count as &tg, how far should the list really go? If we count CoH, then surely WC, SC, AoE and others fit too, right?Not trying to start bullshit, just making conversation.
should i stay below the -15 fatigue armor for nimble, or could I go to 20-30?
>>475145591Any game that involves coordinating an army will inevitably end up being tactical.But also some people say &tacticalness is also about, like, authenticity?It means different things for different people
>>475155385>>475145591>>475144020people often use "tactical" to refer to a "vibe", rather than just literally gameplay having to do with tactics.this particular "vibe" has a massive overlap with what one tends to think of when considering content appropriate for /k/.
Am I &tactical
>>475157328No. BUT I am!
so im on day 88 of my campaign with a reasonable bunch of guys wearing mostly oathtaker or fallen hero armor. on looking at the fallen hero gear, they seem to be okay but being "Decayed" seems to mean they lower fatigue a lot more than the other more normal armor? and I want to get better armor next, right? the nonDecayed better ones?also what armor do Nimble brothers use?
>>475169305Fallen hero gear is a stepping stone to higher tier gear. But only give it to bros with high stamina because as you said you pay for their high protection with fatigue. Better armor will both protect more and be lighter.Nimble bros wanna go light. The most protection you can give them in the lightest package possible. Have you found any named weapons/armor yet?
>>474878791what game?
>>475169790https://www.gog.com/en/game/battle_brothers
>>475169528i got a named 2h poleaxe and a shield. this is probably the furthest ive gone in a campaign and im kind of stable but i dont know about crises
>>475169528i think ive put 110/110 on my Nimble bros and that seems to maximize their perk. but im not sure if thats it.
>>475171063Your total armor shouldn't be too much more negative than -15 fat if possible, though there's a little wiggle room.If you're doing 110,-5 (Heavy Mail Coif) + 110,-11 (Southern Mail Shirt) = 110/110 -16, so that's not bad. You can still upgrade it with stock items like 140,-6 (Assassin's Face Mask) + 120,-9 (Assassin Robes) and = 140/120, -15. Another good one is 120,-5 (Sallet Helmet)You could make an argument for favoring chest armor more than head (since it is easier to hit). Hell, if you went Steel Brow you could go even further in this direction and try something like 45,0 (Desert Stalker's Head Wrap) + 160,-15 (Noble Mail) = 45_SB/160, -15.Named armors help a lot with getting the best mileage here. You can get some crazy protection with them with very light fat cost.
>>475174506>that pickino
>>475174506Oh and I didn't even mention armor attachments.Named armors + good attachments feels real nice. Though even if you don't have fancy armors, if you have decent attachments that aren't hard to get, just slap em on anything. They are good for giving a leg up to mid armor
>>475170590>i dont know about crisesthere ain't that much to them don't worry about itthe real question is: do you know there's end-game boss encounters

>>475228660>Official serverAnd there goes most of my interest. Thanks for explaining though, at least this is something fresh and interesting for once.The ability idea is neat, but far from unique, as P-Server (Ascension) did this already. I like the level cap thing and turning dungeons into raids though, even when that's a simple idea.
If a company acquired the source code for Project Zomboid and created a new game based on it, would you continue to wait for Project Zomboid updates or migrate to the new game? Which would you choose, and why?

>>475249939>Think of the demoDidn't get around to playing it

>>475264548
>>475264791if I made it any larger the quality would be completely unwatchable
>>475265223Here is are some experimental ideas: Use VP9 instead of 8, while decreasing the framerate from 60 to 30-40. VP9 alone will easily make 480p or more possible, while the FPS decrease will further allow you to push quality/resolution, not like it matters for this scene anyway.
BBros art didn't have to go that hard, but I'm glad it did
>>475084730I'm convinced Legends is the "Brutal Doom" of Battle Brothers mods. Even down to not understanding why the gameplay of the original worked or the people that go around asking other modders if their stuff works with Legends.I wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem with it if it wasn't so monolithic. Sometimes they have good ideas but they're drowned in a sea of shit, and they're not modular so whatever.
>>475267746>>475267997Music, art and writing, those are the clear highlights. But I can't decide which is the best, nor should I have to, it's all great.
Are there any mods for Swat 4 or Ready or Not that let me split the teams? So like in Swat 4, for example, I can do 'red team person 1 guard' and then 'red team person 2 fall on me'

>>475270747You can do that in Vanilla RoN. Look at the Swat operator in question and open your command menu. It should be grey and the order will only be issued to that man.
>>475304238They don't want suspects/civilians from other rooms to react to your sound. This makes it easier for the player to keep control of the situation. There are some mods that change this, but what usually happens is, that when you breach your first room you will draw in suspects from half of the map and all other rooms will either be empty or the suspects/civilians will have already surrendered before you even get there.It's not "realistic" but keeps the game nicely segmented and creates a good game flow. It's a case of Gameplay over realism, but you could argue that the scenario of 5 SWAT operators dealing with dozens of suspects on massive maps is unrealistic in and of itself, and this Gameplay design actually leads to a more realistic door to door Gameplay, or more realistic micro scenarios within an unrealistic overall scenario.
>>475382090>more realistic micro scenarios within an unrealistic overall scenarioThis is very well put, thank you
How do you design enemies that are stealthy and can sneak up on the player?Think like a "roamer" in (old) Rainbow Six Siege.
>>475384317Players rarely look up so i guess level difference could be a key (enemy on top the the tree,wall etc...) and most players loose all their shit when they see something in front of them (aka they start looting,unlocking or any kind of action that demands at least bit of focus) and for AI i guess it could use some kind of player detection like if AI stumbles upon player that has his head turned away from it it could enter a "silent" mode and either shoot the player or sneak up and meele
>>474878850The new game from the devs of Syrian Warfare (CatsWhoPlay) is out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dob5M9mzkjQDownload here:https://www.catswhoplay.com/new/index.php/ru/igry/front-edgeIt's free to play, has no English localization, and apparently only has PvP and PvE without a campaign. So skirmish mode only. Only two armies as of now, US vs Russia, but they plan to add more factions to it in the future.Deepl translation of the game page:- The game gives players the opportunity to fight each other (in 1vs1, 2vs1 and 2vs2 modes), or in Battle mode with a computer opponent.- Initially two armies are available in the game, these are Russia and the USA, in the future it is possible to add other armies.- The battle on the maps is for key points, the task of players at the end of the match time to control more key points on the map. In case of capturing all points by one of the players (one of the teams) the match ends prematurely.- Players can call for reinforcements during the game using Team Points (CP) accumulated over time.- Initially, players have access to standard sets of vehicles and infantry, but later players can get unique squads and vehicles that can move from battle to battle, gaining experience and being able to install and use various improvements and tactics.- The game will initially contain only the basic gameplay of general military combat, which will be further actively developed with the addition of new mechanisms actively appearing now in real life (for example, copters with reset, FPV drones, etc.).- The game is considered as a basic platform that will be further developed with the addition of mechanics, new types of equipment, battle tactics, maps.- A fully open game design/development process is planned, with maximum involvement of players and sympathizers. - In the future, the game can serve as a base for creating single-player campaigns on various current and anticipated conflicts.

>>475396162NTA, but take a look at Large Progress Indicator, Better Sorting, and Backpack Borders. They're all just UI mods, but they fix up the interface.Slightly more cheaty ones are Weapon Condition Indicator (tell at a glance how damaged your weapon is without hovering over it), More Description for Traits/Moodles (two separate mods, gives you precise numbers), and Equipment UI (shows a paperdoll of what you have equipped, instead of needing to scroll to the bottom of your inventory)

They updated TAVR recently with some cool new features with some improved AI:• Added shootable door hinges and deadbolt. Place a shotgun against a door surface and shoot the hinges or deadbolt to open doors. Shoot both hinges to destroy the door.Enemies:• Added: Enemies can now decide to go prone when taking cover. If you see a prone enemy, you're likely already dead.• Added: Enemies can now perform a Melee Attack if the player is too close. SMACK! (see weebum)Webm with no audio this time I can't be bothered sorry.I use the snake eye camera to see under the door. I call there's a guy on the right side.I pull my rifle to bash the door with the stock but see friendo pulling out the shotgun instead. Swap to pistol and take aim.He blasts open the door and we go in slicing the pie.There's already the mission target on the ground and a guy very close right, he goes in and I assume he had some trouble with pumping the shotty and gets melee'd.They put lock-picking in as well so you can open doors without alerting enemies but we haven't tried those yet.
>>475407948also the bipod system for snipers is really cool and can attach to any geometry in the gameWe tried it out in the lobby by going prone IRL and sticking it to the ground and to our surprise the IK for players models had special prone animation (very rare in vr games).Only issue is the even with my head touching my floor IRL the camera was slightly upward compared to the scope of the rifle. Still very cool feature.
>>475408870and in a real use case scenario it's useful at crouch heights from windows and suchonce the bipod is locked in you can release your offhand and fully focus your aim with the righti'm not very good at it that's pretty much the best shot I got from the entire session lolI kinda miss aiming with a mouse since there's 0 wobbling on a mousepad compared to holding your hands up in the air
>>475401075Sometimes you just spend 2 hours messing with mods and the process makes you lose all motivation to even keep looking at the game, especially if you spent more time making mods work than just installing them

>>475430729How are you filling the void
>>475442785im not, im just eating shit so I don't fill it with another addiction. It sounds like willpower, but its more like gaming is so depressing right now that even if i wanted something to consume me like SQUAD did its virtually impossible to find. I feel like I've played every worthwhile online game and single player games we get like 2-3 ones worth playing a year unless you are a gay and autistic and soi face over weird indie games like hades, undertale, and whatever else.
>>475445152Also I liked squad because it didn't feel like a job, which is ironic because I played it like one. Theres no progression, no dailies, no ranks, nothing. You just play the game because its fun, and you want to. Theres no difference between my account that has 5k hours and a completely fresh one. That and the community run nature and virtually everyone having a mic, and most server owners/staff outside of gay streamer ones don't really give a shit what you say unless you are spamming nigger in open channels.Every other online game right now just feels like a chore, has FOMO, etc. and I'm tired of that.

>>475523909IDK, I've only heard it described as being a game for people that thought BBros was too hard. Which is a shame to have your game be reduced to that statement. I hope it's more than thatAnd also that there's optional pokemon-style fights or something between pets? Idk
Playing MGS2 on the PC MC and ran into a bug during the cutscene where you give the disc to Emma. I saw someone else got it to work by running it in windowed mode, but I'm pretty sure I have to exit the game to do that. I haven't manually saved since Rose asked me to in the manual call after fighting Solidus in the harrier. Did I screw myself out of all the progress I made today, or is there something else I can do?
>>474878791I want to start playing more WW2 and Vietnam scenarios, but 1080p is simply not good enough to be using iron sights past 300m or so. Generally how much worse is 1440p performance going to be, compared to 1080p?

>>475458523Mod support came back I think, SQUAD has the best star wars PvP game in existance, lots of arabs love playing MEE because all the sandpeople terrorist groups are on display, and its a lower IQ game mode.It's the first somewhat accessible game where china is a faction, though if you look at player peaks its not peaking in china (yet).If you have squad, and don't play it anymore its worth giving the star wars mod a try. It's pure SOVLhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIgrE5Bhvxs
>>475563045Why would they flesh out the military system though? It's a city builder first and foremost. Sure it could be neat, but I don't see a big purpose behind it personally.VERY cute village, by the way, far more organic than anything my brain manages to shit out.
>>475563708It went on sale, if OWI wasn't retarded they would have payed shroud to stream it for a day too, I don't think hes touched the game since ICO.
>>475564958the military system as it is appears to be maybe half done, mostly when it comes to equipment.retinues look like they could have an equipment system a little shallower than dwarf fortress'.there's still a lot of work in progress things.
>>475565820I noticed the missing units too, but that's about it regarding military content, the rest was all building related. Retinues being completely random seems a bit odd to me, but maybe that's something that will change in the future.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__U24WmLmgQWatching this video and reading the retarded comments made me realize we don't have any games that actually simulate being shot properly. You either drop comically or just have a bleedout timer. Would proper adrenaline rush etc. actually be doable? Or even fun to interact with?
>>475568317Doable? Sure, I don't see why not.Would it be fun though? I highly doubt it.
>>475568317Plenty of games abstract that with abilities that make you resist death once
>>475568317have you seen how the physics in exanima is integrated into the combat? I think you could adapt that to gunfights.
>>475568317reading these comments makes me just hate city slickers even more than I already do.
>>475568317It's been ages since I've played, but I recall SS13 handling gunshot wounds in fairly good detail. It wasn't fun for anyone but the medical players most of the time.From memory:>get shot>hobble towards medbay>pass out from blood loss>wait for someone to notice your dead or dying body and drag you to medbay>wait for a doctor to notice you>complain in deadchat about medbay being full of blind retards>wait to be clicked back to health or thrown in a cloner>still fucked up after being treated>hobble out of medbay because your chances of being fully fixed before the round is over are near zero
>>475568317It would be about as fun as warthunder without penetration cam and the vehicle not turning into a wreck on "death"So basically you would be a schizophrenic with terrible anxiety anything you saw a "dead" body or you would just be mag dumping everything. Is that more realistic? Probably, but I don't think it would be fun for most people.
>>475575561That's basically GHPC lol

>>475523909>Is War Tales a decent BB clone? I've played 20 hours of it and it was pretty boring compared to BB, a lot of the encounters felt really repetitive due to the lack of any real difficulty. Also the events in that game are shit writing wise and seem to happen unrealistically
>>475649617yes(not alpha strike), also the novels.

>>475650175>due to the lack of any real difficultyIt's a fine balance isn't itIf you make the game too hard then no one plays itIf you make the game too easy then no one plays it either

>>475681959>hur dur free hahaThey literally can't use this when trying to sell the game meaning they have to invest time and personal to fix it PROPERLY in the code which isn't worth the cost>b-but multi billion trillion dollar company!!!As you already said, it's fixed anyway so just pirate it and play away, It's essentially abandon ware anyway. You're crying about the fact that you can't give them $5 to own the game digitally.>>475681305Modern systems break the engine, making the game unplayable by default.
>>475682971You like the smell of your own farts a little too much. I answered an anon's question and had no dog in this fight
Arma is more like a game about the A team than a serious military sim
>>475686040You make it sound like that isn't realistic
What does a black market do/mean in MW5?
>>4756876936 guys going behind enemy lines with no support to steal a tank and use it to destroy a whole motor pool is very fun, but I wouldn't say it's realistic
>>475691967In vanilla, it's flavor for a regular market but in a combat zone. Means you can stock up on stuff without having to go back to another planet and buy things there. I'm unsure if there's mods that change this.
so is GZW an UE5 asset flip
>>475691981Bullshit OC made by your friends online isn't meant to be realistic, but that isn't to the fault of the game.
>>475692514One of many to come, just like it was the case with UE4 and Unity in general.
Finally, some seriously tactical content https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6raCLQ4EY3k
>>475564958keeping your plans very vague and only building things right before you need them goes a long way towards organic appearance
>>475706860Issue is that I'm a huge grid brain, making it quite difficult for me to build organically. I have to effectively force myself to build organically, and even then I'll probably fall back into the old grid trap at some point.Did you crop the interface out in this image? Ctrl+C removes it.
>>475630347Suspects sitting in cover and blindfiring forever. It's extremely fucking gay
Installed MW5 for the first time. Jumped into instant action before modding anything. Was fun bullying this Javelin lmao. I just used my jump jets to get into rocky elevated ground and played peekaboo with itI wonder if the modded AI would've tried using its jumpjets to climb up with me
>>475710373Back when I played at least, the advice I got was your lancemates will never use jump jets so they're essentially dead weight. That was a while ago though may have changed
>>475568317My concept for a SWAT/RoN style game was that NPCs would have a health and a will pool. Health has a total that gets divided up between upper/lower torso, 4 limbs and the head with hitboxes for the heart, lungs and femoral/brachial arteries. Shoot a suspect and you take a chunk of health points out, with a possibility to "crit" and do extra damage based on ammo type. If it intersects with a vital organ like the heart, it'll super critical and kill them. Lungs or arteries, it'll start a bleed that'll drain health at varying rates from the suspect.Will also gets drained when shot, or less lethal etc and varying suspect archetypes and conditions can set behaviors at certain will levels. It can go up, down, surrender, suicide etc depending on the context. Health checks would also happen and provide chances for suspects to have a "psychological stop" and drop after a single non lethal shot, or potentially keep fighting after their health level drops past the incapacitating point. Would offer unpredictability and make suspects both difficult to put down with shitty shot placement and quick to put down with good shooting.Grading on UoF would be less about whether you took them alive etc, and more: Was the UoF justified, and if so how was your shot placement? Did you spray 30 rounds and hit them on the last one?
Haven't even started a campaign or installed any mods and I'm already having a ton of fun. Going in as a light mech and painting targets for a Catapult lancemate on high ground is the tightest shit. You just spot it and seconds later it gets blown up by LRMs.I'm sure I'll find stuff to dislike later as I continue, but so far mods don't seem nearly as mandatory as people made them out to be. Of course I'm gonna install them, it's just I had a very skewed picture of what I was going into. People made it seem like lancemates were useless in vanilla, but they seem to be following my commands just fine.>>475717079I'll test this out later, but thanks for the tip. I have seen the enemy use them, just not as smartly as a human player I guess

If you want this experience just go play Arma with friends.

This is a question for Arma 3 shizo are these mods all compatible with each other ?https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823819644
>>475783981This IP needs more love, It sucks that Uprising is on the Copyright IP hell
>>475794634It is. It plays almost exactly like (shittier) DayZ in terms of gunplay and movement but you loot things on small maps with few hotspots that spawn things and you have to wait for them to open so other players have a chance to kill you. The inventory system is the worst part though, utterly fucked for console.Then you go to the extract that someone probably is camping.It has about 50 million microtransaction cosmetics though.

>>475816675yes
>>475803982It was released in a barely playable state so they could maximize an initial profit return.The performance issues are the most visible problems, but they actually aren't the worst. The game shipped with next to nothing resembling a gameplay loop. There's no looting, the gunplay and movement feels generic and halfbaked, the quests are extremely repetitive with basically nonexistent progression because all the guns feel the same, and the AI is absolutely comically bad and itself extremely repetitive to fight. This is a game that is supposed to be focused on PvE, btw.
>>475817950oh rip. was this "release" date announced prior? because i feel that they insta-released it right after the EFT devs drama to cash in..
>>475814349lucky mutt
Gray Zone Warfare is fun. I just use FSR2 and can get 60fps. I dont like the helicopter system though. Spawn camping is annoying as hell.

>>475850598Well, technically it does seem to be an unbalanced mess, just not because of the units.
Love you bros
>>475831375Movement grid, perks and abilities and, yes, basically the XCOM cover system. I do not think this is a bad thing, mind you. I like those mechanics, personally.
i never understood why i like watching starcraft 2 so much, i never played it. ok i played it once, but only tutorial, not even campaign or online.but watching is just so fun, because its quiet easy to see whats happening. i cant say that about many games.
>>475853328>Movement gridnuCOM did not invent the square grid. JA1 and JA2 both used a square grid. JA2 iterated on that by adding the ability to climb to elevated positions like roofs. JA3 uses basically the same grid as JA2. >Perks and abilitiesnuCOM did not invent these in tactics games, they've been around for a long ass time. Even Silent Storm had them. I'll give you that it popularized them further though>Basically the XCOM cover systemThis isn't accurate though. JA3's cover system allows for shooting limbs that are sticking out of cover. It allows for penetrating walls and blindfiring. A very similar thing was already done in JA2, but it wasn't communicated in this way to the player. Red shield indicates you won't get benefit from the piece of cover unless you crouch/prone behind it. nuCOM had none of this. It was a binary "are you flanked y/n" with 2 cover types that provide flat defense bonusesThis guy would've been remained alive had the game implemented XCOM's cover system

Just discovered that the infantry mod in MW5 spawns dudes in arena matches. Kind of annoying. Haven't seen any mention of it online. Might push me to disable it altogether>>475888201Thank you, glad to know it's not just me. Kinda sucks, it looked super useful
>>475888243I just use Infantry_No_Damage instead since I'm a psychopath and I enjoy having little bugs running around that I can squish without being an annoyance Infantry_No_Expense also lets you set their spawn rate and stuff so you can just disable them for arena stuff without disabling the mod
>>475888243>>475888201>>475839941>>475888646Nevermind I'm retardedI needed to toggle on the pips in the options menu to begin with. Otherwise the mod does nothing. Because the mod is only altering the existing option. Lmao.And yeah I saw the No Damage mod, it's just that I really dislike infantry being present in 'Mech arena matches, it makes no sense
>>475888646but thank you for the tip of using No Expense to turn off their spawns there

>>474878791>ww2 but it continues into the 50s/60sI could have sworn there was already a mod for this? I checked the work shop and the only thing I can find is some wolfenstein shit. If there isn't, all I would know how to do currently is make a shitty alive faction.
is mechwarriors 5 tutorial levels supposed to be this infuriating or did I fuck up my game with mods?I'm not having fun trying to blast 20 tanks that take 5-6 hits to kill (each shot takes 4 seconds) with the most garbage laser weapon as part of the tutorial I'm just hoping the game gets better when I get better weapons otherwise this bullet sponge hell is going to put me to sleep
>>475898685turns out it was YAML increasing tank health by 300% and disabling crush on walkingI fucking hate my retarded friend for making me install shit like this on my first playthrough because of muh coop soonI should just play the game normally first I don't want to deal with this bullet sponge autism before I even know how the game works FUCK

What is the correct time to crouch run versus just running?
>>475933409When the enemy might be able to see you running
>>475935548What if they see you anyway? Like crossing a street. Crouch running presents a smaller target but is slower, running is faster but you're bigger
>>475899504pretty sure you can change those values in game in the settings of the modto be honest you are the silly goose here for not checking what you install especially when you are playing the game for the first time
Never had such fun in a while, thanks to battlezone anon for sharing this campaign mod.
>>475935820Do you feel lucky, punk? Run like a madman, or try to catch car cover while crouch running, or a mix of both.
Anyone checked out Gray Zone Warfare yet ? Opinions ?
>>475943612Read the fucking thread and find out retard
>>475943612Fuck off you shilling piece of shit your game is a scam
>>475943612For some reason one autistic faggot here gets retarded at the mere mention of it (despite the fact it is exactly what this thread is made for). My opinions are>Poor performance, fixed with FSR>Predetermined helicopter LZ is terrible, spawncamping is annoying>tasks system is bad and discourages teamwork>PvP is tedious because you can kill someone, they respawn at base to get all their gear, and can fly back into the same area in about 5 minutes>AI is retardedI would wait and see what they add. The PvP is fun, you can easily team up with randoms in the field and dont have to worry about PvP with your own faction like in tarkov. Gunplay is nice, but all the other gameplay elements need work. The map is great, and every random bit of jungle feels like a great spot to have a shootout.

>>475945593the reddit pass, yes
Is it just me or is the grayzone warfare discourse on other sites just absolutely awful? You're either incredibly poor for having a 4080 or it's all your fault for the game not working, early access blah blah blah.
Is there something fucky going with the chosen on in the current version of XCOM2?I went to the second sector and there's a chose with 3 pips or armor. How comes? It's month 2.
>>475947151>How comes?Because fuck you that's why
>>475946861>is it just me or is this scam full of fanatic shills?
>>475947643No shit but it feels worse than tarkov on other social media sites. People are either making up shit about early access or lying about how a god damn computer works. It's just fucking wild to me.
>>475948262Nobody is making shit up about early access. The game is fucking dogshit because it is a quick scam game they shit out without optimizing
>>475948262its probably their marketing team, (You) are always the problem, their game is perfect and if you can't get it running properly you're poor and probably have no friendsevery new release is like this now that devs put more effort into stealth marketing than making games, you shouldn't be surprised anymoreYou also shouldn't buy any UE5 products ever, they're made as cheap as possible and outsourced and 99% of them will not run properly on any existing PCs
>>475948262>no shitthen don't ask dumb questions>worse than tarkovbecause that game is old news, no one cares to talk about it except for tarkov people, which isn't many. ScamZone is a new flavor of the month meaning that it gets more attention which results by a lot of hyper retarded ""fans"">making shit about how computer workmany such cases with tech illiterate video game playing ""nerds"", a metric fuck ton of half knowledge or none at all.
>>475946594Well, to answer my own question, after two arena fights back to back I think you can get away with 16 Rear CT and 14 Rear LT/RT if you're weaving in and out of sight. If your contract is only one mission and you get to repair later, you can probably do lower, but I would start feeling nervous. For many other mechs 12 rear seems fine as long as you don't get into brawling range too much, but if you're in the thick of it the backstab protection feels vitalMade mine into basically a JR7-F. Removed the SRM-4 launchers, maxed the armor, kept the jump jets. Dropped the heat sink because Jenner pilots are supposed to be sweating anyway. Do damage, get close to overheating, GTFO and hide for a while to cool down. That's the Jenner way right?Also damn, the arena is fun. Commentators add good flavor, and it's a genuine challenge being in the middle of a free for all having to watch your ass while trying to gank someone else. Waiting for just the right moment to cut into some duel and fuck the weakest mech up. It's great

Tell me more about 7.62 high calibre. Is the tutorial straight forward or is this the kind of game where I'll have to bury my ass in the manual for the first few hours? What's it like compared to JA2? JA3?
>>475946594>>475959060very ugly machine, wouldn't use
>>475969907It's the latter. But instead of a manual it's PDFs of Let's Plays to figure out what the fuck is going on. Due to its nature of being real time with pause, it has a lot more granularity (relevant things happen in less than a second, the configurable auto-pause makes this sane)Its combat is the yard stick I measure any other RTT's with, because it implements all sorts of shit. The Hard Life fanmod is even crazier. However, you will not find a good story or memorable characters here. You're in it purely for gameplay, because the writing sucks
>>475972434>You're in it purely for gameplay, because the writing sucksThat's fine, I played both Frozen Synapse games.
Be vewy vewy quiet. This is a sneaking mission.
>>475977379I sure picked the wrong camo for this dropIt's ok though infantry mod guys are pretty blind during fog, even with their settings bumped up a bitAnd since they are from a mod they are not patched in into comms so they can't call the alert when they see us anyway. Would be cool though
>>475854153It's very readable and it's flow from match to match is very easy to follow for new and old players alike.I know that killing workers is good, I can tell the units apart even in 480p streams full of compression artifacts, I know in the beginning each kill means a lot, I know who won a fight and who didn't, etc. That's what did it for me, I found it very easy to get into.I know none of these things are exclusive to SC2, before anyone says "$(MY_FAVORITE_GAME) does that too and no one watches and $(SHIT_GAME) doesn't do that and everyone slurps it up".
>>475978329Is that the mod that places them all over the map randomly?
>>475854153Well made games are fun to watch, schrimple as that. I can't into PvP AoE2 or RTS in general for shit, but man is watching AoE2 enjoyable when the caster isn't dog shit, same for Siege to a degree.>>475981216And then there is smart anon over here with an in-depth answer. Things like this are hard to impossible to force, no matter how often publisher love to force "DUDE ESPORTS LOL" down peoples throat when they announce a new game because of the insane success that are League, DOTA and others. Granted they're far from the only games that had this success, but SC and AoE2 aren't what they used to be, at least outside of Korea.
>>475981320It's the official PGI mod, though it's not exactly random. They mostly spawn near defensive structures instead of in the middle of the woods for example
>>475891703>both goons lived on top and are now flanking you>no one got shot in the overwatch cone>all enemies are now in cover and you've got one move leftThis is a disaster, is this how things usually go?
>>475982709>This is a disasterIt actually went pretty well. It's an early game encounter that filters somepeople. I immediately I originally made these webms to show a newbie one way of handling the encounter with the mercs they themselves had chosen. I did it on hard difficulty because I figured it would illustrate the point that it would work regardless of difficulty>both goons livedNo, the guy that got shot in the head died. The guy that got stabbed was severely wounded. Everyone minus the overwatcher still had AP left over to do stuff before the enemy turn. I was originally planning on getting a 2fer with the shot, getting two dudes at once, but I didn't quite line it up.>No one got shot in the overwatch coneYes they did, you can see the damage number at the bottom.>All enemies are now in cover and you've got one move leftOne move? Also, they were right where I wanted them
>>475983549*I originally madeThat's what I get for reformatting the post and not proof reading
>>475983549I don't mean to judge your game, which seems very nice and well executed. I was commenting on the situation as read by an XCOM player.I've never played JA3, and I presumed this was like NuCOM with 2 actions per turn economy but it seems this has TUs instead.Keep at it, anon, looking at those short webms might make me try (pirate bc poor) the game. I don't play Long War because I'm rich after all.
>>475984058Ah I see. Yeah, it's a very different beast from XCOM. Many people that come into it that never played Jagged Alilance and attempt to play it like nuCOM get kinda turned around. I actually also like it myself, I did a Long War campaign a few years back.
>>475984323
>>475984607Aaand done>>475984058Also the game is trivial to pirate because it's on GOG, and you can even get mods for it from steam workshop (workshop downloader doesn't always work with all games, but the devs for this one explicitly disabled the ownership check because they're based) or nexus. So if you can't afford it, no sweat.

>>476033725You are supporting this dogshit scam game with every post you make acknowledging it. Just ignore it.
>>474878791Has probably been mentioned, but MGS 5 would have SO MUCH more replayability if it had a few more well layed out subsistance missions (all equipment procured in mission instead of you making a loadout before). THe two that are in the game are some of the most fun missions since you got to actually figure out how you can acheive the mission objectives with the stuff in the area.For example, one was to destroy the 3 satilite disks in a small outposts, and the two ways that I figured the Devs set out was that there was a case of grenades deep in the base, and that a few of the gaurds patrolling the outside held rocket launchers (but each with only 1 rocket each). really made you engage with the sandbox in a way that you only did when fooling around. And would give you a reason to use all the shit you dont have since you got the tranq pistol and tranq sniper for most shit.

how do I make my mechs cooldown faster in mechwarrior 5 bros? I'm tired of having to stop for 10 minutes every time I shoot my weapon 5 times in row this isn't fun at all...
>>476076871your heat sinks bro. it also depends what the environment is like. you will have less heat issues when fighting in cold weather for example. I don't think they implemented extra cooling while standing in water bodies in MW5 but I could be wrong.Also get thishttps://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/830Makes internal double heat sinks actually work as they should.post mech build you're having trouble with. Some mechs are supposed to run hot. Often times, a mech that is "heat neutral" just means it's undergunned.
>>476077625maybe fighting in desert was a mistake if that's the caseI should really buy a mech that's not already packed to 50 tonne limit so I can add more shit to itbut thanks I'll get the mod and try to find better heatsinks
>>476077625also I forgot to mention but I'm just using the centurion mech you get from finishing the tutorial quests I haven't touched anything yet
>>476077625>5 years old game>multiple big DLCs>some even released recently>shit like this is still broken and needs modsthis franchise is fucking done for if it stays in the hands of these fucks
>>476078054>I haven't touched anything yetWell, if I recall correctly the stock CN9-A has a cooling rate of 1heat/s. So that's actually plenty. Which by the way, highly encourage you to twiddle with mech editing even now, because it goes a long way. At the very least, max out your armor, and add a little more to the front instead of the back for mechs that won't get within brawling distance often. More armor means less components getting broken which means less money spent on repairs.When you attack, are you typically alpha striking? Alpha striking is when you fire all your weapons simultaneously. So that means 2x ML, 1x AC/10, 1x LRM10. Because if you do that a bunch, then yeah you're gonna quickly run into heat issues. A big part of the game is heat management, and it's just something you'll have to get a feel for. Finally, are you using any other mods?
>>476077974>I should really buy a mech that's not already packed to 50 tonne limitAlso you can just strip whatever you want from a mech and add something else insteadYou won't run into mechs that are undertonned unless their components are broken>maybe fighting in desert was a mistakeWell, it's unavoidable sometimes. Just mind that in hot climates you should favor weapons with lower heat generation. In cold climates, you can run hotter builds easier. Dress for the occasion.Another thing: do you know about overriding shutdowns?>>476078851To expand on this: whenever you get a new mech, first click the strip mech button on the top right, and then max armor. That guarantees that anything that comes after is on top of max armor.
>>476078601I understand the frustration at PGI, but this is not broken, it seems to be a conscious balance decision. All engine (meaning internal) heatsinks are invisible to the player, and they are all counted as single heat sinks despite what the lore might say about that particular mech. I think this is the case in MWO too.
>>476077625is that heatsink issue broken with YAML too?
>>476080681Like I said in the post above, it's not broken, it's just how they balanced the videogame. I don't know because I haven't used YAML. You can easily find this out by checking the base cooling rate of a mech with Double heat sinks (meaning, without guns or extra heat sinks). Though if you're early game, you won't see those for a while
>>476078851I see I didn't even know there was a detailed panel but I'll strip my mech now and fiddle with the armor since I don't let anyone get behind my back anyway (or at least die trying)I don't alpha strike but I do shoot my weapons as soon as they go off the cooldown but I'll show more restraints from here on outthe biggest mod I'm using is YAML (I know I shouldn't but I don't have a choice) the rest are not that impactful on the gameplay mostly just QoL stuff>>476079403I don't know about overriding shutdown but I did just find out about using coolants which immensely helps with my heat issue but it's a limited resource so I guess it's better to save that for life threatening emergencies thanks for the pro mech master advice anon I appreciate it
>>476081539>I didn't even know there was a detailed panelOh lol, well, now you have a whole new world of tinkering open to you. It's really fun customizing your mechs. This way, you can see them as merely a canvas for you to do whatever you want with instead of being stuck with the stock loadouts (which often kinda suck, but they have a charm of their own).Let me introduce you to SARNA. It's one of the best wikis on the internet.https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Centurion_(BattleMech)You can go read up on the lore and canon variants of mechs there for inspiration. They're going off the tabletop wargame info, but you could translate some of that to the vidya.>I don't know about overriding shutdownWhen you're about to shutdown from overheating, you can press O to override it. This will get rid of the safety feature and allow you to cook yourself to death if you push it much further. There is no more humiliating way to die than to have your mech do a safety shutdown on you in the middle of a brawl.

>>476083896I think the HBS Battletech intro does a very good job of giving you a primer on the lore for the universe, at least for the era the game takes place in (there's multiple eras). It's also much better than the painfully generic MW5 intro.Check it outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAGY4UMScyU>>475246806https://youtu.be/5NcUhE4GNCE
>>476042968You can always go naked into regular missions. I think only the Volgin mission and the Shagohod missions are impossible without OSP.It really is a replayable game but much like Rimworld and other sandboxes, it requires you to lift a lot of weight when it comes to setting goals and such.To resume, I agree with you, I wish there were more dedicated OSP mods or something.

>>476088978that depends on the VPS provider you're buying from and what countries they offergermany or sweden are usually a good middle point
>>476085531yah, I know you can go almost osp (do t think you can unequipt pistol and primary), bit the missions arent as tailored made for that, even if You can. Meaning stuff like placing unique weapons around the level and stuff.I do already play with a decent bit of verity, but it would be nice if there was more specifically made for osp.

Gray Zone is fun, been playing for 50 hours. It's tarkov without all the bullshit
can someone explain to me what this thing does? I don't get it
>>476053150Your fruit (veggie) killing skills are remarkable.
>>476107613Bubba's fusion reactorGoes fast but...
>>476089302>the overall better gameNot sure how to feel about that. RS2 can be really fun, even though the fucked VOIP makes things a lot fucking worse, especially for commanding. But there is some things that I much prefer in RO2/RS1, including the general setting, the equipment that come with it, and especially some of the maps.
>>476110230thanks I'm going after your mom next
>>476098928uh, pretty sure I saw a mod where enemies drop items for mgs5.
>>474878791Recs for games kind of like Dark messiah of might and magic (besides dishonered, and preferably finished). Imersive sim likes that are much more action/stealth heavy then rpg heavy. big into object interaction.
did the 4chan audio player break? the code isnt on github anymore.
>>476118185cause there are games like Gloomwood and neverloot dungeon that are in the perpetual steam "early access" phase, and Id really rather have a complete game.
>>476118454No, it didn't break, it literally never broke to begin with. Fix your gay ass PC/Browser and stop asking dumb questions. Doesn't matter in which thread or board I see this post, it's never not retarded. If anything ever breaks then it's catbox, but not the fucking script you faggot.>>476118770>perpetual steam "early access" phaseCompared to "perpetual release version phase" of the vast majority of modern video games?
>>476110724The WWII setting is what I prefer as well. But stuff that you take for granted in RS2, like removable bayonets, aren't present in RO2/RS1. It's why I'm chomping at the bit to finally play Black Orchestra.
>>476119481Someone woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning
>>476119519I never fuck around with bayonets so I can't really relate.While the cover system was a bit clunky, I do miss it in RS2, it added a bit of extra strategy to fights.
alright i restarted discord kitten's run cuz im addicted to restartinglet's go
(You) DO CARE ABOUT COLLATERAL RIGHT ?And i guess talk about games that have civs (which you can kill but its not a good idea)
>>476119481>Compared to "perpetual release version phase" of the vast majority of modern video games?I dont think I argued that modern gaming is at all defendable. But I prefer my single player experiences to be finishable instead of getting 30% through a game and then hit with a "SORRY! the rest of this game will be out in 2-3 years, idk, lol!" screen.Dark messiah is unfinished in a lot of polishing respects, but it still manages to pull off the feeling that it wrapped up by the end instead of blue balling you. Just want to play something I feel like I can finish and move on to something else.

>XCOM EU/EW on Steam supports controllers>XCOM2 on Steam does not support controllersHow come? XCOM2 behaves like it was designed for consoles first, how come it doesn't support controllers natively?
>>476135704>XCOM: Enemy Unknown was released for Windows PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America on October 9, 2012, and in Europe on October 12, 2012.>XCOM 2 was released in February 2016 for personal computers; PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were released in September 2016.Take a wild guess
>>476136832I don't follow. They released for PC 8 months before, but made choices in design and mechanics to tailor the game for consoles? And, the developers neglected or actively chose not to include controller support on PC. What are you telling me here?
>>476137045That you're retarded. 1 came out day and day with the console version, meaning they probably had the same menu design and everything being a part of both, allowing code to be copied. Meanwhile 2 had the console version released as an afterthought of sorts, while maybe fucking with the interface in a way that you can't easily copy paste code, see Mass Effect 1 or Cities Skylines.
Is the BattleTech turn based thing actually worth a play? Faintly remember it having shitty reviews on releases way back.
>>476140776You mean HBS Battletech? Yeah it's great, specially when moddedThough your first playthrough should be vanilla or near vanilla imo
>>476140946Are the DLCs actually worth are damn, or the usual Paradox bs where some are neat and others trash?>specially when moddedAny worthwhile QOL mods? Would prefer my playthrough to be vanilla too, but I'm not against mods either. Last time I played it was on launch many years back.
>>476141271Honestly, if you're buying get Heavy Metal and Flashpoints. Urban Warfare are optional. The other stuff is irrelevant. I just bought base game and pirated the DLC.As for mods, here are some QOL oneshttps://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/646https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/683And a sort of vanilla+ that adds a bunch of mechs and weapons but doesn't change the gameplay. Don't get this if you care about lore accuracy, as there's stuff up to the Jihad in there.https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/635There's a very in-depth breakdown of the major mods for the game herehttps://www.reddit.com/r/Battletechgame/comments/u36ccf/annual_update_to_mods_overview_for_hbs_battletech/
>>476143248*Urban Warfare is optionalI was waffling between Flashpoints being optional or not too and forgot to change the word, lol. But yeah I think Heavy Metal and Flashpoints are on the side of worth it
>>476143248>I just bought base game and pirated the DLC.That's the idea, as I already have access to the base.>"120 FPS cannot be achieved consistently in normal gameplay using an RTX 3080 at 1080p on low settings."What the fuck? Not like it matters for this type of game, but is it actually this GPU demanding, or is it a mislabeled CPU bottleneck?
>>476143248>Attention Apple M1 users: AI Pathing and Floating mechs is *NOT* fixed by this as this is a M1 chipset issue. The absolute state of Apple Macintosh &tacticians>>476144628The game, despite being quite fun, is not well optimized. Some people have reported a memory leak after long sessions of play with demanding mods like RogueTech, but I haven't noticed it myself. Worst case they close and restart the game I guess.
>>476145157>The absolute state of Apple Macintosh &tacticiansHaving to emulate code to cope is one hell of a fucking drug>Not well optimizedI mean that I understand, KINDA remember from way back too that I think about it. Guess I have to find the actual bottleneck myself.>Some reported a memory leakGoddamn, that is beyond awful. Bad performance and such is one thing, memory leaks are a whole different matter.

For the Tarkov autists: What is "Project Fika", and is it related to the coop thing from some weeks back?

>>476176087just a friendly neighborhood scylla
>>476175290million things on the strategic map layer and the boring ass slog nest missions made me drop this game. also some jank here and there
>>476179232Only fun thing in the game is the grind into creating horribly overpowered super soldiers and destroying everything in your path.
>>476179447jesus christ
>>476179447>All that fucking movement>One hits the vast majority of enemiesWhat the fuck
>>476179929to be fair human enemies are really weak
>>476179447>guy goes into second group of enemies>"damn that's pretty overpowered">he keeps goingwhat the fuck
>>476179447You know I always do have to wonder what the best /&tg/ games are for melee lunatics in a world normally dominated by guns. How long did it take to get that lad murdering squads like that?
>>476191643I don't have exact details but it takes 300+ skill points (you get 5-10 each mission depending on difficulty plus like 120 from leveling), the vengeance torso (which requires 3+ mid game researches), and a strong melee weapon on a unit who comes naturally (rng) with the close quarters specialist ability on an assault or heavy.Combo is to use rapid clearance (restore 2 AP when killing an enemy) with 1 AP melee attacks (from vengeance torso), as well as dash, a 1 AP move that gives 2 AP worth of movement.

Is there a quick cheat sheet bringup guide for all the stuff you can in do in 7.62 High Calibre?I went, in, talked to some guy, he was being rude so I brought out my inner REVOLVER OCELOT and shot three dudes with a colt before any of them could get a shot off. I feel like it was mostly luck because I have no idea who's doing what or if I'm supposed to know if I can view enemy's action times, fields of view or what they're currently doing so I can make a better judgement call, or what the Aim/First person view things are supposed to do beyond just flavor.
>>476208294Also two questions>Is there a way to keep moving while aiming/readying a shot? Strafing if such a function exists?>Is there a mod or a way to replay completed battles in real time kind of like the Doorkickers/no plan B end of mission replays?
>>476208294I don't there is. Game is pretty jank. I liked it but then some encounters were really fucking weird, either because the AI is whack as fuck or because the spotting system freaked out or I just didn't not understand it fully. But yeah it is really satisfying to pull of some moves and gun down enemies.>>476208458Yes. Ready the weapon you have and Alt + Click to move.None that I know of.
>>476208294>cheat sheetUh probably someone has made one but I don't know it>enemy's action times, fields of view or what they're currently doingnope, you just see what their model is doing and guess from that. if they raise their gun, they're probably about to shoot.>Aim/First person view thingsthey are very useful to know what each character actually has line of sight to>>476208458>keep moving while aiming/readying a shot?Yes>replayNoHowever depending on how you feel about modding it, I could recommend that if you're on steam you activate the beta branch that says Community patch and install mercapocalypse on top of thathttps://rentry.org/tactical#762-high-calibre-2007
https://store.steampowered.com/app/705040/HAWKEN_REBORN/it's bad huh
>>476214264>>476214041I see.One more question, what's with all of these magazine types? What's the difference between the one with the red tape versus the other one on the following row? What's "CBC economical" versus "High Velocity"?Did I fuck up by installing mercapocalypse?Right click info has no actual information.
>>476217262>Red tapeJungle mags. It's two magazines taped together, which means reloading is way faster. You can do the same with any (almost) any two same rifle mags with some duct tape.>CBC economical/High velocityDifferent ammo types. You should be able to see the stat differences if you right click on the bullets in the magazine window>Did I fuck up by installing mercapocalypse?No imo, it adds a lot of fun /k/ stuff to the game
>>476217574>Jungle magsWhy wouldn't I want this over any other type of dual magazine?>You should be able to see the stat differences if you right click on the bullets in the magazine windowI see, thanks.
>>476217854I honestly don't remember if the red tape and black tape mean anything different, or if they implemented clamps. You could try buying both and unsticking them from the right click menu and see what item you get if you're curious. I'm guessing it's just a flavor thing and they behave the sameBy the way, you wanna go get Paquito at the Bar by that one coastal northeast town. He's gonna be your first teammate
>>476207626Your time is over, boomer, it's ours now!
I have never gotten an early Avenger Defense mission before, now I know not to underestimate them.

>>476218268God, these controls are dick but this bar firefight was pretty god damn great.>exit out the door I entered, get shot>reload>try to sneak around>also get shot, because penetration and bar walls are thin wood>try to sneak around out of the kitchen, no way out but I can spot them without them looking at me>aim a headshot at one of them>he's done>crouch and switch to my MP5, burst fire setting>stand up again>chance to hit: outstanding, they're still taking their guns out and turning my way>burst fire one guy, he's done for>the other guy panics and runs to the corner due to shock>snapshot headshot him, all doneThis game has a lot going for it.>>476235625I'm that anon, but I never finished it(you'll come to learn to hate alchemists as much as I have). how can I help if possible?General tips?>Keep multiple saves, try your best not to finish fights wounded because resources are extremely scarce all around for the first few levels.>Unless you're planning for a certain ending, charisma is a trap stat after 6 points which is when you can get up to 2 party members, as more party members=less skill points all around.>The first three party members are a joke and you should use them as meatshields, avoid healing them.>You get party members who make alchemy and blacksmithing/crafting a trap stat. You should focus on attack and defense as best you can. Have a primary weapon that you dump all of your points in + either block or dodge, and then keep a shitty dagger for when you can't attack without additional AP.>Orientation matters in this game>If you have an annoying(singular) enemy remaining, try to focus down its arms/legs so that you don't get hit and dodge is less annoying. Otherwise try to take down enemies as fast as possible instead of spreading out damage.>Spears are great at keeping enemies at bay because of it's two range, and you can use the passive to keep your vanguard covered.>feel free to quit once you meet alchemist enemies.
>>476236858My preferred solution to the bar fight was also going through the kitchen, crouch behind the bar, and chuck a pipe bomb at their table. Then stand up and shoot.The boring way is camp and let them come to you as you keep your gun aimed at the door, you'll get the drop on them
>>476236858>The first three party members are a joke and you should use them as meatshields, avoid healing thI mean this to be the three idiots around the campfire, not the very first guy you get(Marcus? He had a hammer), that guy fucks.
Battle Brothers is shit because it is a puzzle game where every encounter has a single way to win, otherwise you will take losses that set you back hours
>>476237257The weird thing is that none of them moved my way after the initial shootout. Bug or is my colt not loud?Also, the game runs like ass with lots of pauses(outside of the actual pauses, it's like major freezing), is this normal
>>47623740410/10 bait
@476237404
>>476237450I don't know, for me they did. It should've been loud enough. Maybe they were just taking their time (unless you waited for minutes).That is not normal, game should be pretty smooth in performance front. What it is is unstable. This gets better with the community patch, and MUCH better with the fanmod Hard Life, but you would still be wise to do hard saves before/after quests and quicksaves for everything else. Your mileage may vary, for me I didn't get a lot of crashes on Linux, but it still happened sometimes. I've heard of some players that got crashes regularly on Windows, hopefully that's not your case
>>476237983>>476237450Also there's this thing you can do to have a sane camera>Open the console (Tilde) and type 'FreeCamera true' (Without the ' ). Does not trigger 'CHEATER' status that other commands would give you
>>476237983Not crashing, just freezes here and there. I'll try again and look at my settings one last time.Also I sincerly hope none of the other firefights I get into occur at the edge of the map because this camera is already ass enough to control without 60% of the space I was trying to move in being blocked off.Are there any must have QoL mods beyond Blue Sun?
>>476238204I just did BlueSun (Community patch) + MercApoc + that freecamera console command.Make sure you go over the BlueSun.ini config in your game directory, there's a lot of options. In fact, I believe MercApoc 2 disables some BlueSun things such as the class system, you can reenable that in the INI if you want. I thiink MercApoc 3 might have released and doesn't do that anymore, but I don't really care to go hunt that down
>>476237548No complaints about RNG>>476237489Meta builds are required unless you want to lose multiple veterans every combat from mid to end game
>>476238415I am using Apoc3 and it does have the class system back.
>>476238529You said>Meta builds are requiredWhat I heard was>I'm a shitter that can't play the game without looking up hyper optimized builds with incredible stars and stats
>>476019940looks cool but will die quick like that winter war mod
>>476238415Should I jump in Hard Life after a playthrough or sooner, if it's more stable I'd like to play that then.
>>476238624Nice, I'm glad they put it back in. I think that might have been because I prodded the dev about it, lol>>476238843I would say you don't HAVE to finish the full game, but I would recommend it. I just stopped playing after killing the main quest guy and left it at that. I didn't see the liberation of the country to the end because it was a bit of a slog (you can get involved in the Civil War, side with the government or the rebels. I did rebels). Once you get to that point you should be well qualified to jump into Hard Life's madness (get ready to have gun permits for open carry in the city lol)
>>476217262>.22 Long Rifle MP5>.22LR
>>476240202I know shit all about guns. The most I did was duck hunting as a wee lad with some break action hunting rifle and I don't even know the caliber for that.
>>476240601Well, good thing you installed MercApoc then because you'll come out knowing some cool gun facts like "lol .22" and the classic "lol 9mm"
>>476240202to be fair .22lr and 9mm para have similar stopping power
>>475136334Noble battles are comfy, Chosens and fucking Southern monkies are fucking annoying to fight but at least chosens are fun.
