In War Thunder's tanks mode they have had to progressively buff German tanks over the last few years, time and again forcing tanks that should not be fighting each other into conflict. The Tiger 1 in particular has long rested in a place in matchmaking where almost none of the other tanks in that tier can reliably pen it from the front or even the sides. Except because the Wehraboos are so goddamn poo poo at the game, that still isn't enough to make the German win rate viable. The German players can't shoot for poo poo or do objectives. I imagine it'll be similar here. E: I should not that is kind of specific to that one tier/area of matchmaking where 90% of every German team is Tigers but it tends to hold true for most of the rest of the tiers as well.

I've been having trouble playing more graphically intensive games like Resident Evil 2, Nier Automata, and Vermintide 2. Nier and Re2 the games tend to slow down when there's a lot of things on the screen at once, and this is even with a capped fps of 59 and 30 respectively. I've installed FAR and used the recommended settings and set Re2's settings to be performance focused. This hasn't fixed my problems though. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 7577 laptop and I've got a Infel (R) HD graphics 630, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, and 4 Intel (R) Core i5-7300HQ COU @ 2.50 GHz. I've also got all my games on a 1 TB SSD.

I'm on a kick of... I don't know what to call them, Resident Evil 4-alikes? I started off with that, then Evil Within 1 & 2, then Dead Space 1 & 2. I'm now on Dead Space 3 and having to stop every five minutes (sometimes less) to scream at EA, are there any other games that follow this fairly specific blueprint that I can play instead?

Finally pulled the trigger on some stuff after my hemming and hawing last night. Preordered the Necromunda game from the EYE guys even though I was iffy about bumping my “preordered games” count to three. I also got Curse of Dead Gods which... feels like it could maybe be good after this slow start but maybe not? It kinda reminds me of Dead Cells, and the crossover with Dead Cells is why I bought it (since Dead Cells is really good) but the whole thing feels a lot slower. Anyone else try that one?

The squad timer, IIRC from the early testing, does matter to when you can spawn in that squad again but you also have to get a certain number of points in order to keep spawning them in. If you take out a tank and get instantly murdered then you might not get to rock that tank again that match unless you do really well as an infantry squad. That might have changed since, I keep meaning to try Enlisted now that it's CB. As for the freemium elements, they're obtrusive and mildly annoying but unless the developers suddenly decide to shift major game mechanics, you can absolutely murder entire battlefields of dude with a basic STV-40 or whatever you get as a free player, thanks to the games lethality. Unlike War Thunder (and World of Tanks et al) you can completely ignore the paid elements and still compete just fine, though it will be a slightly longer grind for some stuff.

Galaga Galaxian posted:What are some Goonpinions about Hunt: Showdown? One of the Tarkov players I watch sometimes recently did a video playing it and it looks kinda interesting. it's extremely good as long as you can meet the high barrier to entry. you need to be a patient person who can accept losing your stuff often, and you need a friend who meets those qualifications too, which is the kicker that probably keeps it from being as popular as tarkov despite being the far better game. Or, as of a couple weeks ago, we now have a discord with a few players who won't mind rolling with a newbie. just don't try to learn the game solo. my biggest complaint with the game (matchmaking dropping 4.0 KDR insta headshot gods into your game and even telling you it considers them "much more skilled" than you but chose to match you against them anyway  ) is being addressed in an upcoming patch. Hunt can be an absolutely terrible experience when this happens but I don't want to complain too much about it since changes are coming.when it's actually working well and the fights are fair, there's nothing else like it. Sound in Hunt is more important than in any other game I've played and the entire game revolves around it. The AI monsters and sound traps mean it's challenging to move around the map quietly, but if you take too long being quiet then other players could get to the boss before you, so what risks are you willing to take? There's basically never a moment that isn't tense. When you actually take down a team in a bad situation it feels incredible and rewarding. Also, hunt's occult cowboy theme with lovely 19th-century technology is way better than tarkov's tired milspergery.

If you have a friend available and desperate enough, RE5 and RE6 are worth it because co-op makes everything good. For single player, avoid them like the plague though.

Also now your character is dead forever I'd honestly say the guns are usually only different, and character death isn't a big deal. My favourite weapons in the game are melee, and the starting knife is pretty drat effective inside a house. Meanwhile in something like Tarkov, you lose your heavily customised and fully kitted highly expensive assault rifle that you've been grinding for thirty hours to get, all because an NPC saw you through a bush and gave you the ol' head-eyes treatment. Orv posted:Telling someone to make their friend play RE6 is probably some kind of crime. RE6 is great fun, terrible RE game but what a fun and silly summer blockbuster. It won me over when I had to fight through a zombie infested plane to reach the cockpit and try to straighten it out while my co-op buddy held off the horde with ridiculous John Wick gunkata and Max Payne dives. Then we did the campaign where you punch people. Then they got a lightning arm in another campaign. HerpicleOmnicron5 fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Apr 27, 2021 |

I've talked about it before and god forgive me for making this comparison but Curse of the Dead Gods is more Dark Souls then the fast action focused game play of Dead Cells. Like the whole gameplay is more thought out with with massive risk/reward systems then say becoming a living pinball of destruction like Dead Cells/Hades. To get any were in the game you having to consider between parrying/dodge all while pushing forward to keep the kill bonus going while trying to maintain your curse level as low as possible vs getting powerups. I find the game extremely fun but it is by design slower then Dead Cells.

Resident Evil 6 kicks rear end and, at its core, is a far better action game than Vanquish or any number of other critical darlings. The campaign scripting unfortunately hinders its true potential more often than not, but it’s still a blast.

Scalding Coffee posted:How is RE7? Not sure how much I can offer here but it was my first RE game and it was a blast. Lots of tension and excitement in the beginning too when you’re having to hide behind sofas and under tables. I had fun all the way through. Enjoyed the story and everything else about it. I don’t really see any value in replaying it though - I feel like I saw everything. Biggest gripe was trying to headshot enemies that instinctively move their heads away when you put your crosshairs over them. That got old. But yeah tons of fun

Scalding Coffee posted:How is RE7? Pretty solid IMO, it's an attempt to return to the series horror roots that's largely successful. It has pretty low enemy diversity and some annoying scripted sequences, plus the difficulty takes a nosedive near the end, so it's replay value is... low, but it's something RE fans should absolutely play once. Plus, it paved the way for RE2make, so I'll forever be grateful to it for that.

I’m in the minority opinion for sure but I couldn’t stand RE7. I’m a fan of the franchise so I tried to play it three different times and got bounced off every time. Unresponsive controls, floaty gamefeel and bullet sponge enemies. Playing it feels like moving through canola oil and I hate every minute of it.

Belated to Enlisted chat, it's pretty fun but has some weird design choices that bleed over from Warthunder; each theatre campaign is a different instance, currently there being two and one in paid beta which lmao. They have their own maps and armies, etc, but you need to level them up individually - by army. So US in Normandy you need to play to level up and Ruskies over in Moscow, etc. But it takes a hot minute to level up, so it encourages you to pick one campaign and one army and only ever play that. Your resources are also tied to your account, not campaign, so spending man cards to pick up soldiers will only give it for that army, etc. Should have gone for the battlefield generic approach imo, but. The game itself is pretty fun, though. The big downside is the playerbase, most of them are just as barren as the bots you roll with and regularly you see most of the scoreboard with 5~ kills, which includes any bots they shoot. Which also makes it extremely onesided when one of the teams is loaded with people who can actually play a video game, given you can with relative ease hit 60~.

Saint Freak posted:That just sounds like a Resident Evil game to me. REMake2 is an interesting case because it absolutely has bullet sponge enemies, and in fact they deliberately made the damage that enemies could sustain highly variable in order to introduce uncertainty into every encounter. But that is just one element of a highly considered and tightly designed game. The character controls in a less agile manner than RE5 or 6, but it works with how enemies move and how many there are, what your weapons do, etc. Even in the old games with tank controls, where it felt like you were steering a boat, it always felt like the boat did exactly what you wanted when you wanted, yknow? I personally never felt that type of frustrating disconnect there.

I think the worst feeling character movement I’ve experienced in any game is RDR2. I wouldn’t describe it as tank controls, but it’s something I was painfully aware of the entire time I was playing. Especially when you’re in the camp site.

It’s very much not tank controls, because those are a specific thing (left/right turns, pressing forwards moves forward), but yeah they were awful. Too many buttons for things and way too much momentum so it was hard to stop before you ram into someone and started a fight.
