I didn't like Rex's steam at first but now I've come to love it. It is genuinely hilarious to see this guy struggle with Star Citizen. All the time in the background there are confused voices saying "Why did I die?", "What happened?", "My ship has no guns.", "I've crashed."

Some bits which made me chuckle:

They thought they got shot at first but no-one was shooting. They work out it was a bug.

The party system has a bug causing some guy called Mercy to appear on Rex's team when he's actually on the other side. He kills Rex causing much confusion. Rex bans him.

This guy has to do the same crap shootout (he always seems to have the same gun) on a dusty, rocky canyon every night with a game that hardly works. Man, this is the kind of comedy I love in Star Citizen.

For those of you interested in how many ways Anthem can gently caress things up, the best loot in the loot based shooter turns out to literally be the starting weapon.

Turns out either damage scaling is completely wrong or the numbers that pop up when you shoot things are complete lies.

Holy poo poo, that's amazing. It's a game about grinding better and better gear for hundreds of hours, but none of the gear actually makes you stronger? They shouldn't have called it Anthem; it should have been called Sisyphus.

So to be fair, it sounds like its only the weapons that have the issue, armor works right apparently lol. So yes, the starting gun is the most powerful weapon but you need good armor or you will get toasted even faster by end game baddies. So, they got like 50% of it right. Which is all we can expect from a AAA game right? :psyduck:

Oh there's a lot of that. A lot of rubbing the forehead with his eyes closed as he tries to remember the sweet whale cash he gets for playing this disaster of a game.

I bet the bits of his life when he's not playing Star Citizen seem to flash by and then every night it's back to the rocky canyon...

My money is that enemies insta-scale with your gear and they hosed up the calculations.

In any case they are obviously incompetent as hell.


e: lol, I'm the hack whisperer. AMA


quote:

Original post: Just did a test and confirmed, it does seem like enemy scaling is based mainly around the level of whatever damaged them. I ended up just crafting the epic version of the same gun so the test would be as 1-to-1 as possible, used the first mob I found in freemode. Took 4 shots with the level 1 gun, took almost the entire clip with the epic. Gear damage doesn't seem to change based on which weapon you are actively using, but level 1 gear was 1-shotting mobs in GM1 with this setup as well.

I'm not military but after Katrina they would deliver MREs to us from the back of an ambulance each night. They were terrible and the joke about a rock or something was tired after the first hour. I was very clogged up from that event and didn't feel all that great; but because so much was happening I couldn't just pin it down to the MRE destroying me. There was a lot of other factors trying to cause me harm and the MREs were just a small part of it all.

Funny though that I had to eat them for a long time but I barely recall even eating a few of them, but I guess that's how memory repression is supposed to work. :(

Clips like these are always fun because they show how much Rex viewbots, even without needing the graphs that Cool Buff Man posted. I've never seen a twitch stream that supposedly has 1.5k-3k viewers and has a chat that moves that slow. If you have 1k-3k viewers and your chat is easily readable after you die and not spammed with "F" or some emote, then you're viewbotting.
