i played the xvi combat demo again and there's a custom animation that plays if you stagger one of the minibosses with the garuda pull, which is a cool detail

got a few hours into xcom 2 today and this poo poo owns; except for one gnarly early level the difficulty hasn't been as unreasonable as the DOS games which I appreciate

i landed a stormcrow H, which has heat problems but hits like at truck (in general, clans in bta3062 have been rebalanced towards hitting harder, hotter, and closer)

idk if kit foxes are in the game but lmao at this variant

quote:

Alternate Configuration V
This configuration provides fast artillery support to Clan forces via an Arrow IV system, fed with three tons of ammunition. For close in defense the left arm has two ER small lasers.

just your typical little 35 ton light mech scootin around with a couple pea-shooters and also an ICBM

i keep meaning to play the harebrained battletech now that i can run it. iirc there was a weird bug that made ending your turn take a long rear end time, last time i tried

are the DLCs worthwhile? i played through the campaign a long time ago, but haven't looked at anything since

steam summer sale should be soon, so i can just keep doing my rimworld run until that happens. provided the colony survives. we'll see

hbs battletech, specifically with the “ battletech advanced 3062” major modpack

If you’re getting the game you want all the dlc

i believe the engine has a fundamental issue so even on a really powerful rig the game has some chopping and speed issues, and modpacks disable ingame saves (and missions can take over an hour in some cases) but it’s still a fantastic battletech experience

here's my official recommendation: get the full game + DLC, and play through the campaign unmodded except for maybe a couple of small QoL mods, i think there's a colored LoS one that's incredibly helpful, similar in concept to Gotcha Again for xcom2wotc.

Then, if you have a hankering for MORE, get one of the Big Modpacks and do a career. The three Big Modpacks are in order of less wild stuff to more wild stuff are Battletech Extended (BEX), Battletech Advanced 3062 (BTA), and RogueTech (RT).

I haven't touched BEX, played RT a long time ago and didn't like it much, and am now working on my second BTA career.

for me it was the FF7 pc release and it had several game-breaking, stopping bugs lol

it's too drat easy to wander in that game then start events and dailies and suddenly, yeah, 5 hours are gone

I'm now only doing the main quests now, plus anything that automatically pops up (so daily quests I guess?). Still managed to play for three hours when I was only going to play until my laundry was done. But I was wearing headphones so of course I couldn't actually hear the notification.
