Kibayasu posted:Coyotes missions can definitely do that on vanilla missions due to random events like a VTOL swarm or House assassins or pirate mechs (those will at least hopefully shoot at everyone). Some of the events are helpful at least, like a friendly VTOL swarm. I think it at least in part depends on your standing with the House which controls the space you’re in. This sounds lit I hope it works with all my YAML and mech variant mods

Resdfru posted:Tell me more I replayed a bunch of the R&C games last year through RPCS3, a PS3 emulator. It was great to see Tools of Destruction unshackled from 720p. It ran great for me (less slow downs than the original). I have a decent computer but not top end by any means. The CPU is the most important part. The older games should be PS2 emulatable, but I stuck to the PS3 collection, which has native widescreen and some texture improvements iirc (and a few sloppy oversights). That should work on weaker PCs too.

Runa posted:This sounds lit It will, I’ve used it with most of the YAML mods as well as the Clan Invasion mod for a while now. All those mechs can and will show up in the custom missions both as friendly and enemy and at the end as salvage. They can definitely gently caress with things since the missions themselves are balanced around vanilla. For example the “End Game” battleground missions is about reaching 2 friendly mechs before they’re destroyed to get some data and then taking that data to a friendly base before its destroyed. When there’s a couple super heavies (or even just mechs with RACs) near the base or one of the important mechs fighting with a few crazy clan variants the mission might be lost before it even really starts but most of the time you can squeak out a win.

Some reviews I got:Mat Cauthon posted:I'm super late but many thanks to Xander77 for Undead Horde, which has been a surprisingly fun and engaging tactics-ish RPG with pretty solid replay potential. The plot is also pretty humorous at times, if not exactly the most original stuff but it's good for scratching that "I feel like watching Army of Darkness" kind of itch. Artelier posted:Took up Xander77's offer of free games, requesting an arcade game, and got Gryphon Knight Epic. Skjorte posted:Thanks to Xander77 for CHAOS CODE -NEW SIGN OF CATASTROPHE-, an Arc-Sys fighting game I didn't realize existed until he kindly offered it to me. I've probably banged my head against the challenge mode for the last time (after getting very lucky in picking the one unfair-but-sufficiently-luck-based one that let me stumble across the finish line after just a few attempts), but playing through its much more forgiving arcade mode has provided quick and decent fun thus far. Having recently tried and failed to attain any kind of degree of competency in King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match, it was neat to be able to jump into a game that lets you lazily string together normal combos, and even pick 2 of 4 'extra' abilities that are usually simple to call upon and find use for. Also, as someone who doesn't remember inputs until after having played a series for about a decade, having your character's move list visible on the sidebar a la an arcade cabinet is a nice, nostalgic, and helpful touch, too. Easy game to like, mechanically. Scalding Coffee posted:Xander77 gifted me REDIRECTION, a challenging puzzle game where you place objects to move automated robots to their escape route, which is color coded to the robot. The two colored robots always move in the opposite direction than the other when it hits something in its path. They either all escape or you rewind to the beginning and move things around and change their spawn timers. You can manually control time by fast forward or restarting at any point. I like games that respect my time and there was a ton of rewinds and fast forward. The puzzles themselves had changing platforms, door locks, conveyor belts, etc., with deadly terrain. There are a couple dozen puzzles and some unlockables of 40 year old games. You can import or create your own puzzles if you want. Xander77 fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Jan 6, 2023 |

explosivo posted:Are those mods worth picking up you think? I wasn't too sure what YAML did exactly but saw it mentioned a whole bunch in the conversation of "must have mods" for MW5 The biggest thing Yet Another Mech Lab does is expand the customizing you can do with mechs and removes a lot of the restrictions of the vanilla system. You can throw together some good stuff with it. It also adds some mech variants, equipment like engines and armor, and the ability to salvage “pieces” of a mech type after a mission. If a mech isn’t available to take as a whole then it’ll will appear as some number of salvage pieces. Once you have enough pieces (5 tons per piece, so 100 tons needs 20 pieces, you can turn them into a mech. The other Yet Another mods can be considered add ons to YAML. That’s not actually necessarily true for all of them but close enough.

victrix posted:Any recommendations for good turn based tactics/wargames/empire builders? Not looking for stuff like Civ, Fire Emblem, HoMM clones, or full srpgs like FFT, more like pure combat games that might feature empire building as a means of churning out more cool units (Warlock 2 comes to mind). Definitely more interested in fantasy/scifi stuff with cool abilities/meta systems/etc. Or even weirdly orthogonal games like Alina of the Arena which is a hex combat deckbuilder. Gem Wizards Tactics? All about shoving and throwing folks about. Mainframe Defenders is a bit lighter on cool abilities but it is satisfying to build a well oiled squad.

I really like Urtuk and keep recommending it. It has pretty good combat with a surprising amounth of depth in its mechanics (as in, not that many mechanics and they're not that complicated, but they end up interacting in interesting ways).

Ah okay I did notice that some of the more tinkery MW:O stuff is missing from here like the engine swaps and whatnot. I might rock with vanilla for now with the added mission types since that was really my main complaint about the career mode. Thanks for the info!

You really want something that came out in the last couple of years, the newer the better, and preferably with at least six cores (though it’s not a hard requirement, and the CPU family can be more important than core count).

For those who took this month's Humble Monthly and if they chose Olliolli World: Does that come in one key, or does it have two keys, one for the base game and another for the expansion pass? I just realized I would have liked to get the expansion pass during the sale but I missed out on it, and I still have my Humble Monthly sub going so I figured to take advantage of that.

I've been playing God of War because, well, it was a gift. I'm not sure I really dig the combat, it just seems to give me so many options but I don't really need a single one of them. I just recently have started using this one spell that makes a bunch of wolves appear and attack the poo poo out of enemies but it completely trivializes combat, alongside all of the runes I've got equipped. There is something about the game that makes me scratch my head - if you try to do something you don't have the item for, your son immediately shouts "I GUESS YOU DONT HAVE THE CORRECT ITEM FOR THAT" and thinking back, I've noticed in a lot of streamers that they tend to bash their heads against the wall trying to do something that's clearly impossible at the current stage of the game. So I was wondering how long does it take for you guys to figure you aren't the correct level/lacking the right key/item before moving on from a puzzle? This whole son tells you to come back later with upgrades mechanic feels like that one "maze" they removed from Half-Life 2 because of that one smoothbrained playtester.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:I've been playing God of War because, well, it was a gift. I absolutely hate it when something looks like it might be solvable with clever thinking but is actually item gated. It was a big problem with Watch Dogs 2 for me. Lots of cool tools, but its puzzles usually have a very specific solution. They might require upgrades you might not have picked up yet. I wasted so much time in that game trying to figure out puzzles I couldn't complete (didn't help that I played it directly after Prey which had the complete opposite design philosophy). Resdfru posted:I have a 12th Gen i5, just built pc last year.

Idk how well TLOU plays, but you should always consult the RPCS3 wiki, which for major games will mention most issues and any solutions. Sounds like it might work fine with a few tweaks. https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=The_Last_of_Us btw, if you didn't know TLOU is coming to steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1888930/The_Last_of_Us_Part_I/

TLOU releases on Steam in March, not in a week I also spotted some release date adjustments in Feb-April... Walking Dead Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 is dated for February (i didn't know it was episodic??), inti creates' "castlevania with two characters from nothing in particular, they came from space, don't look into it" game Grim Guardians releases Feb 23rd, retro FPS Perish releases Feb 2nd. scars above moved back one day to the 28th. in March, the Rakuen dev has a new game called Mr Saitou that releases March 23rd. half-life inspired VR game Vertigo 2 finally comes out on March 30th, The Wild Eight dev's new game The Day Before releases on March 1st. then in April, Roots of Pacha releases April 25th. System Shock remake, in an act of playing a game of chicken, has maintained its release date of March. i'd be so, so, incredibly just unbelievably shocked if it were to get delayed again
