It's packed up at the moment, but I have an old rear end copy of the Battletech table top game. I can't remember which version it is, but I bought it in like 94 or 95 thinking I could get my MtG group to play it (I couldn't) :smith:
When I move into NoCo this summer if any of you idiots want to get together and jerk each other off figure out how to play it, we totally can.

Edit: IT'S THIRD EDITION VINTAGE MOTHERFUCKERS! COMPLETE WITH UNPAINTED MINI'S AND SOME MECH SHEETS THAT WERE TOTALLY FILLED OUT BY 14 YEAR OLD ME.

ALT+F4 WOWEE

MWO was the weird game that got worse as it developed. Closed Beta great, Open Beta ehhh, Full Release Wait What is MWO Again? Oh yeah, it was that lovely game with nothing but lurm boats and snipers, that was good once.

To talk about a positive game: Into the Breach. It's the FTL guys' second game and it's drat loving good. Sort of like a small reverse-XCOM.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
Mechwarrior online is pretty heavy for whalers.

It got better but not by much.

Ghost heat I understand, at least they have the values for it now. Most of the higher tier games are full of people who can destroy you in one or two volleys. Ghost heat was a solution to that but the real solution is more balanced mechs with less power creep.

But you can't do that when you target whales.

Oh yah, new mechs can be preordered where you don't know their stats, you can upgrade your packages, and it can go for somewhere around 70 or 100 dollars for what is essentially who loving knows

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

I tried playing whatever PS3 remastered came to the PS4 and it just felt sloppy and not good. fwiw I do like trash games like Dante’s Inferno and other mindless button mashers

I’ve never really dabbled with GOW otherwise, but seeing a lot of praise

So...it good?

I'm a few hours in and I think it's up there with The Last of Us, it's an older and wiser Kratos teaching his young son. Gorgeous graphics and great combat. The second boss fight was awesome, I hope there's more like. Which I'm sure there is.

Finally, expect some changes to the level three helmet. It’s a game-changing item that can impact the outcome of a match—basically, it gives you an extra life in situations where a headshot would otherwise kill you. We don’t want luck alone to determine who gets items like this, so we’re removing it from the normal loot spawn tables and limiting it to care packages only. 

THE WHOLE GAME IS BASED ON LUCK YOU STUPID FUCKS

But next time I drop somewhere the the guy next to me lands on a rifle and I land on nothing and get blasted I'll think to myself "it's okay, it's not based on luck alone. I was obviously outplayed".

Ended up playing Stellaris for a very long time this weekend, and mad that I have to go back to work today. Turns out the game has changed a lot since launch!

edit: So the Great Khan event is cool. He spawned towards the center of the galaxy while I was on the edge, so he ate 2-3 lesser powers and got into a war with two big federations. I'm playing hardcore turtle mode so I had a Star Fortress with 20 defensive platforms at every border of what I consider "my" space (gently caress me, it's hard to control space now) and they were able to resist the raiding parties that wandered my way, but I was never a prime target.

Then he died of space AIDS and the parties shattered like glass, with two factions being my friends! ok then.

Even on SSD, the install and loading times are lengthy.
