Man it's tough to go straight from AC Odyssey combat to AC Valhalla combat. The former just feels smooth, you can block and parry all day long if you want. In Valhalla it's all tied to stamina: dodging, heavy attacks, and blocking (for heavy attacks at least?) use it up, and you have to refill it via light attacks. It turns everything much slower and more deliberate, and I feel a lot less capable since I'm now mostly a very close range fighter, which makes dodging/building up stamina tricky sometimes. I'm sure it was a deliberate decision, but I don't know that I could ever prefer it.

There's too many games that have AC as it's abbreviation, it could mean either Ace Combat, Assassin's Creed, or Armored Core. It's confusing sometimes.

Anno 2205 has a bunch of really nice quality of life improvements that as a whole kinda drag the game down for me. Instead of separate islands you now have different sectors and all resources in one sector are shared to every island in that sector. While it is much easier to produce stuff I felt like a huge part of the game was moving stuff from island to island to keep the supply chain going but it’s now basically all handled for you automatically. The game very clearly tells you how much of each product a building produces or consumes so there is no more guess work involved, but I enjoyed spending the time to make sure my production went well. It seems like the game has much more focus on you adding moduals to your factories to increase production as opposed to having you build another mine or work building. Again, it means things are easier for you but now you don’t really have to balance having production buildings vs population buildings and you don’t need to expand from your starting island for a good while cause the mining moduals take up no extra space. All and all each change sounds good on paper but as a whole makes for a much simpler experience.

In previous games the A-10 was still pretty rough in practice, but there were at least some lower intensity missions where it could really shine.

A lot of the service weapon forms can get really busted by good mods. Shatter with extra pellets and ammo regen on headshots basically means you never stop firing, and it’s great. The thing dragging it down is that that’s all random and I never got that setup again after starting a new game.

XCOM 2, why the hell do you give me a close combat shotgun class and punish me for being aggressive? I can weigh the risk + reward of charging in to flank vs getting counter flanked, but it feels real fuckin' unfair that you change the calculus on me in a way I can't react to because uh, whoops, while charging in my shotgunner accidentally made eye contact with the hidden pod 50 yards behind his target and now they get a free turn to gently caress him with plasma rifles

Paper Tiger posted:Yeah, I've run into the same thing. I've tried getting into Kenshi a few times, and I'd always bounce off when trying to start an outpost. I actually started up again recently and decided to see how far I'd get *without* an outpost, instead buying a building in an existing city and making money to just buy the crafting mats I'd normally mine/farm in an outpost, and it's much less frustrating. So here's a big thing about Kenshi: where you build your base is almost as important as how you build it since the locale determines who will show up to wreck your poo poo, there are some areas out in the middle of nowhere, where if you build there you won't get anyone but the occasional cannibal raid if you're unlucky. But basically, the general idea is that you either shouldn't base build until you're "ready" or if you're going to base build early you should prep by either building in a safe zone or building somewhere, where you'll have another settlement, and especially their patrols, intercepting for you. Or some deadly rear end wildlife if you can help it. Making a base is kind of a trap in Kenshi; you really want to do it, but if you go for it as soon as you can you're going to get murdered.

It's weird that they made any classes in X-COM 2 when like, the ranger class gets to attack like four times after you level it up a bit and blows every other class out of the water. Because it doesn't matter how good a sniper is when your ranger can cross the map and still just shoot three more dudes.

AC series could benefit from being able to bring two planes into a mission, and swap between them. Kind of been an issue in the series since the start actually. Isn't enough reason to bring a ground attack plane when any interceptor or air superiority fighter can do the job. Always felt like the game story was so far up its own rear end they don't give the game enough room.

The thing dragging it down is that that’s all random and I never got that setup again after starting a new game. Yeah I suspect that just like Bioshock Infinite before it the random nature of the equipment leads to weird variations in difficulty/general efficacy. Made worse because a bunch of mods are exclusively tied to the DLCs, but also some of them can leak through into the main game via board countermeasures if you're lucky but also a bunch of the mods are just insultingly bad anyway. I managed to get ammo recovery on dodge late in the main game which was fantastic. But I'm pretty sure most of my other attempts to get tier 6 mods were stupid poo poo like "recover ammo when taking damage from X enemy type while under a full moon".

I love XCOM, but it is a bit of a shame that there isn't really such a thing as 'turn-based strategy' outside of XCOM and XCOM-likes right now. There's 4x and grand strategy, which is totally legitimate and I love it for what it is, but the last thing that could legitimately be called 'turn-based strategy' outside of those molds was... what, the last Heroes of Might and Magic, in 2015? And that wasn't a good HoMM game. And related to this thread: I don't like that the HoMM games I've played (V and VI) have singleplayer campaigns basically only designed to reward rush strategies. I want to play slow, but there's literally no map in those games where that's a good idea.
