I like how in BF1 you can top the leaderboard without even killing anyone. They've gotten a lot better about rewarding people for teamplay and not just kills.

I almost always place good on a team, but because of that kind of poo poo. Revives, resupplies, spotting and what not. I'm terrible at aiming fast dope rear end head shots, especially on console games

I'm honestly kind of sick of shooters in general. Doom was good but I think that and Titanfall 2 were the only shooters I played through to completion in the last year.

Really don't give a gently caress about COD OORAH DEVIL DAWGS military poo poo either

BF1 was fun for a few days but I was mostly doing solo drops with randoms and that is hard for me to stay invested in

Overwatch is the only online shooter I've ever really genuinely liked, but it feels like I've leveled up to the point of diminishing returns. Every time I go into a quick play game for some fun I get owned by teenagers souped up on energy drinks headshotting me from halfway across the map. It's like I'm suddenly in a skill bracket that's way out of my league.

Same. When I first started playing I was holding my own and then some, but up until last night I had a week long losing streak.

Doesn't help when matchmaking decides to put my fresh meat team up against some multiple star level folks.

Yep, I can't do a loving thing in Titanfall 2 as I die within a minute of spawning. Sucks too cause I love everything else about the game.

probably wouldn't have been reall, , ask the MWO guys. The only time I ever get on to play is after a few drinks, and playing games like that get me all keyed up so I have to drink more to relax and then I just end up really wasted and singing prince songs or something awful

I was a kid when Baldurs Gate came out and that game kicked my rear end so loving hard but somehow I brute forced my way through it.

This is like my third time starting PoE and I made a cipher this time and it finally clicked. Tyranny looks cool as well. I liked Planescape Torment and apparently there's a sequel or something now?

Divinity Original Sin seems kind of like the old infinity engine games as well but I've never played it.

Planescape is getting a spiritual successor in Torment:Tides of Numenera which releases near the end of this month. Different setting but still has dialogue driven gameplay in a strange world.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
Depth owns. I got really good as a diver and would go out into open water to chase sharks down. They can dodge in all six directions of movement so you can generally juke sharks pretty easily. Hit them with a marker and get the assault rifle and they're done for.

I have the advantage of it playing incredibly similar to Team Fortress Classic so the literal years of my life I pissed away at high school playing that has given me enough of a foundation to be pretty damned good at the game.

I am absolute loving garbage at Titanfall 2 though

this can be a good tactic since its relatively unexpected, but if you arent poo poo hot, a good shark will tear your rear end in a top hat open doing it. another pro diver strat is get the dpv and chase a shark after its attacked and escaped. i hate that poo poo

Definitely takes a couple weeks to "click." I wouldn't play the game without a group, either. It plays a lot different than traditional FPS games. You have to constantly be moving. If you kill someone you need to get out of that spot ASAP.

Keep at it it's really fun. Play with a group tho

Re starsector

Mount and blade rules, so you suck at the start. Go fly around the pirates and either find small fleets to engage or wait for hegemony to engage something and join in. You can also go a different path and raid nearby traders but poo poo is gonna get weird. It does take awhile to build up.

OR

Get Nerexelin which has advanced starts
and download all the factions you want
You may have to also get 64 bit java since it comes with 32 bit java (unless that changed)

Nerexelin has a lot of stuff in it which will be coming in future updates anyways.

Haha they still require you to change the java.

So make sure you got 64 bit java. Go copy it from your programfiles/java folder into the jre folder of star sector. Change the vmparams for 2-4 gigs. Add mods. Done.

Here is a zip of the mods that I use and a 2-4 gig vmparam file.

This lets you skip the lovely start, get right into the combat, also pick a faction to start with.

Not an empty quote.

Titanfall 2 is really really loving good. Also online is fun for olds due to AI bots and Titan combat.


Played the Ghost Recon Wildlands beta this weekend. Feels like an updated Mercenaries. Kinda hope they tweak vehicle controls and some other things, but otherwise, I think I might grab it next month.


Oh and Total War: Warhammer is 12 bucks on Humble Monthly this month. Grabbed that poo poo despite promising myself I wouldn't buy any games till March so I could get through my backlog :negative:
