Dragon's Dogma was pretty good. Not sure that I actually noticed anything special about the AI companions.

If you or your friends played a bunch when you summoned their or they summoned your companion they'd get better at fighting, go after the weak spot first thing and things like that. They actually seemed to learn which was neat. You could also make your one unique companion into an abomination so I made a giant amazon named Fizzlebeef but gave her the highest pitch voice. I'd idle in mumble and could tell when people summoned her based on the reaction.

Imagine this thing going all shadow of the colossus on giant enemies while yelling like a squirrel.



Still haven't finished it, it didn't grab me like Witcher 3 did but it has its moments. Oh and when you sent your friends or other people's companion back you could rate the experience and send it back with a gift, like a healing item or resources, or pocket lint. I think rating higher got people more experience or dress up dollars, I forget which. Got a lot of 5 star combat ratings and 0 star appearance ratings from Fizzlebeef.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
They will just copy your behavior straight up. Some guy would go through a river then toggle his lantern off then on again. After awhile he noticed that his companion was doing the exact same thing.

A different friend was confused when his companion would run in and just start smashing loot crates instead of fighting guys. He asked us what was going on and we asked if that is what he normally did and yep.

We would do 4 player co-op and at one point you find ogres. Apparently they get really excited when they see a female, run to grab them, then run off with them. The ogres rear end gets bright red and becomes a major weak point against them. We kept giving poo poo to the people playing as female characters.

This may sound bad, but later you find elder ogres who prefer men and made it really funny once we ran into those.

My henchman learned how throw people on the backs of large monsters. He would sit there and call out for someone. He would ignore the enemy for a long time just waiting for anyone to come to him, even a mage, who he would then throw onto the enemies back. If no one came, he just stayed there.

My henchman taught a friends henchman to do the same thing. So que up two npcs named Goose and Mavrick kneeling by a giant monster waiting for the other to jump on his shield, shouting at each other that they are ready.

So, in memory of Chris Cornell's kickass contribution to the music world, the CE thread got to posting about notably kickass RTS World In Conflict.

EFB, again.

It was Red Dawn: The RTS, and so much better than the premise deserved. Time to find out if it stood the test of time.

Support for the game is gone and you can no longer but it on Steam. It's possible to play multiplayer though, according to http://www.massgate.org/

I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure how well it works, but I'd be down to play with you fuckers sometime.

I bought the special edition of World in Conflict back when it was first released. The game came in a big red cardboard box with the hammer and sickle embossed on the cover. Inside they had included a thimble-sized chunk of the actual Berlin Wall complete with cerificate of origin.

The game itself was pretty awesome if i remember correctly, or at least I thought so back in '07. I lost the box and the install cd's while moving at some point, but I still have the Berlin Wall souvenir on my desk.

That's my World in Conflict story.

we had a really fun pubg today. We were holed up in an attic anne frank style with sniper rifles and we were taking potshots at this one squad for a good five minutes. They were 500-600 meters out and were running around in the open going from cover to cover because they could not figure out where it was coming from.

Keep in mind they're planning a new gun every month. And based on the way the VSS operates, it will probably be a care package weapon like the 249 or m24.

Is this why I've never seen a 249, m24 or Vector. They only come in care packages?

What else comes in care packages?

Care Package exclusives are: AWM (and .300 rounds), M24, Tommy gun, 249, adrenaline shot, ghillie suit, 15x scope

other possibilities are level 3 gear items, 8x scopes, and ammo

Vectors are normal just rare. The M249, Tommy Gun, M24, AWM, ghillie suit, 15x scope, and adrenaline syringe are all care package only.

And a care package isn't a guarantee on any of them, sometimes it's a Kar98 with a ghillie suit. You never know.

The adrenaline syringe gives you 100%boost with one item, vs painkillers and an energy drink. It also takes 10 full seconds to use.

I think we spooked that guy with all the smoke grenades at the end. I can't imagine why else he'd come charging over a hill at us when he owned the white circle. Getting that suppressed SMG kill felt good though. :)

I have an ASROCK Z170 Gaming K4

https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Motherboards-FATAL1TY-Z170-GAMING/dp/B012D7GXNK

You can have it for the cost of shipping if you'd like. I thought it was a bad Motherboard and bought my wife a new one. Turns out it was a bad stick of RAM. Now I have an extra motherboard sitting in my spare bedroom. Put an I5 6600K in it and you can overclock the crap out of it if you like.

They also gently caress pc gamers other ways, like convincing devs to include really cool poo poo only on the WiiU. See: Shovel Knight.
