Base BL2 was aggressively unfun until I used cheat engine to massively increase the drop rate for the rare items and even then most of them were garbage

It kind of felt like playing Diablo 3 around launch, to be honest

The DLCs were pretty neat, though.

I’m pretty handy with cheat engine and yet I never figured out how to tweak the drop rates. I even tracked some pointers that’s got changed with the 5% drop rate relic.

On the other hand I’ve got a permanent pointer link to add anarchy stacks so I don’t have to spend 20 mi it’s grinding up 400 every time I die as Gaige

I just got a default template from reddit or something that had a bunch of easy options. I bet it’s more fun to figure it out yourself, though.

Jagged Alliance: Rage

I was/am a huge fan of 2, I couldn't even begin to guess how many hours I've played that game but if I had to it would be like at least 500 in the past 18+ years or so. I even have 84 hours in the terrible "Back in Action" from a few years ago. I completely missed the scam Kickstarter one more recently, which seems like something I should be grateful for.

Probably gonna skip this one too because it looks like a lovely phone game.


edit: It only has 6 mercenaries :catstare:

nah I get you borderlands is almost but not quite too much for me in that zany poo poo. The main thing it has going for it is that its a 4 man co-op FPS with diablo style loot and an acceptable storyline.

The shooting is kinda generic but with ROCKET LAUNCHERS THAT SHOOT SWORDS THAT EXPLODE but I enjoyed it in spite of that because the only thing close is destiny which is a loving FPS MMO :lol:

BL1 and 2 were fun, but I just lost interest in the Pre-Sequal or whatever it was called.

I tried BL2 again recently, but I ruined it for myself by entering in all the available codes on the internet for the golden chest or whatever it was, which completely ruined the “go shoot things and find a better gun” mechanic. I just kept coming back to the town every once in a while a burning a couple keys to get better loot.

you're not wrong but like I said earlier there really aren't many co-op FPS you can play with 4 people. the game is mediocre but shoot dudes in a shooter with wife and brother in law was fun (gf at the time)

DSIII is more linear and you advance by fighting to the next bonfire and you can teleport between bonfires right from the start. In DS1 the map is denser and you advance by opening shortcuts.

The end result is that DSIII is a lot easier to play casually because you can pick it up after not playing for a year and still have an idea of what you're doing, IMO.

so what’s up with the shark cards or whatever cash grab


Also I know some of you are sick of FO76 chat. Anyway, the Collectors Edition came with a cheap nylon bag instead of the advertised canvas bag. Someone emailed and they were pretty much told “sorry you’re not happy it was a prototype and too expensive we don’t plan on doing anything about it.” Which seems hard to believe, but who knows at this point

I don't know, I've been too busy murdering/getting murdered.

So you join these freeroam events. I've joined two. The first one ended up being a giant free for all with about 30 people where you got points for getting kills with sidearms. So I go through, don't win because the guns in that game are fine for shooting predictable AI but not actual people who are running and diving all over the place. The game ends and everyone is running around, but you can't shoot each other. Then the game dumps you back into the open world, but not where you were originally. I realized two things at that point:You're using your own bullets in the game, so I had no ammo, and it drops everyone that was in the match in the same part of the world where the match took place. You've got 30+ people in a very small area, so of course it immediately turns into a bloodbath. I try to get my horse but someone stole it, and then I get shot to death. The game doesn't respawn you at a camp or anything, it respawns you in the immediate area where you got killed. This means that people will just spawn kill over and over again. I killed the game from the menu at that point.

The second match I got into before the game started, and you can freely kill the other players before the game even starts. That match ended when the game crashed.

After that I said gently caress it and went to Blackwater and started killing every living thing I set my eyes on, with no repercussions except for bullets lost.

They did. Both it and the Steam Controller were actually built to good mechanical standards with pretty good QC. Which isn't chinesium cheep and since neither product never really took off...

But they at least made a cool video

I set up my $5 Steam Link last weekend and was pretty impressed. Maybe it's the new router I got or maybe it's because of the dedicated hardware, but it works way better than my wired gigabit HTPC.

I can still notice a lot of artifacting in AC: Origins but the latency is fine.

i set it up and it seems fine but I really need to just get a steam controller or an xbox controller because steam really doesnt want to seem to want to do PS4 button prompts and that poo poo fucks with my brain. Playing Battletech again anyways and I don't need or really want the couch experience for that, just kinda grabbed it more for a "hey, why not?" and I'll use it for something eventually.

Can't imagine I'll be that disappointed considering the price though
