I don't play video games to learn orbital physics so this and Kerbal Space Program can go gently caress themselves.

I wanna go to some cool planet I don't want to schedule the perfect time 3 months in advance to hit a launch window to go to that planet.

Battlebit is starting to click with me and I’m tearing poo poo up with the BTR/SAW/RPG it’s a really good game for flanking braindead pubbies or littering maps with bombs that they will then mindlessly run into over and over. my sole real complaint is the lack of loadout customization outside of games / presets. there aren’t any presets so you can’t have a like vehicle one with a repair tool ready to go or anything like you should

I'm just gonna come out and say it, you shouldn't keep your Main Quest Audio Logs unlabeled in with your other audio logs so you leave a player with no idea where to go next, System Shock Remake. That's one area they could've skipped out on staying faithful to the original game.

Yes, but you have to have had them unlocked from the battlepass they were part of years ago.

I think I'm homing in on the end now, but I've thought that a couple times.
I originally thought it was gonna be a mystery roguelike with limited time to uncover a mystery so I expected it to end early and be replayable
With the time mechanic getting dropped halfway it's felt more railroady since then whereas I liked the tension of the early half

I've liked it overall tho

The DE-lite mechanics are very perfunctory though

it frames itself as a mystery but it's really an experiential roleplay sort of thing. I liked it a lot

the mystery is really just a way to get you to meet several different classes of people and see all the underlying conflicts in that society and how it evolves over time. I'm not a big murder mystery guy so that bit never bothered me.

the trick freelancer had was that the ships were all slow af so anywhere without those superhighways that make you fly at 2000 speed even tiny places seem gigantic

Hey you should check out that Home Safety Hotline demo on Steam. It's got a straightforward fake desktop browser interface and some pretty great short vocal performances from the callers you're "helping." Doesn't waste too much time getting to the good stuff, too.

yeah BB has some UI and sound problems. supposedly they’re gonna use some of this money to secure quality field recordings so maps have ambient sound and stuff. equally importantly they need to add a UI and night vision for night maps in vehicles as the BTR doesn’t even have headlights so you literally cannot see anything, even the black ammo counter and turret orientation display are the same black as the night
