The ttk is too low for me in battlebit, I need to out think people to win and that ship has also sailed. Still having good fun just makes me reminisce about bad company 2

the real life meter is how many squad members are still alive nearby in cover who can revive you while also putting out enough fire to prevent you from getting over run. it's to encourage squad play. that's how u outthnink

drat, burning shores certainly ends the horizon series on a lovely note

Iiterally everything is a bad retread. the quen show up again except they lay on the sinophobia extra thick this time, the new companion is so similar to aloy I forgot who was speaking most of the time, and the bad guy is a loving lame walt disney pastiche because the studio probably got too much heat about who the rest of zeniths were based off of.

oh since lance reddick is dead and the game didn't sell a billion copies on PS5 there won't be any more lol

battlebit is cool n all but i think i prefer the fancy graphics of the BF games if i was gonna play one of em.


Also no shotguns is cowardly and anti-fun

largely depends on the gunplay. like i'd never be able to do snap headshots point blank with a sniper, but most of battlebit is about positioning/maintaining your cover. its very funny how the games milsim roots meet its casual mechanics i.e. pickaxe for a firing hole vs rpg gently caress you

do you actually still play shooters as much as you did when you could do snap headshots though

cuz like yea I can't hit stuff as well as I used to but it's not like my reaction times are way worse. I just barely play games as much as I used to.

theres two snap shots: mid chest->recoil kick up and headshot. headshot is gone the way of the dino. tho this game its easier with huge head lol. i've been doing medium scope sniper and it rules. like in terms of being jumped on and spinning around to at least open up on em thats still there, but also i probably won't kill em with the headshots needed to beat their ttk.

IIRC Neyrelle or Mephisto (forget which) kind of correctly makes the point that Lilith, as a Hatred demon, absolutely can't be trusted to actually care about supporting Sanctuary. Her whole thing is being an expert at manipulating people, and her actual actions mostly consist of going around everywhere and doing Evil Stuff. The implication (that the game neither confirms nor denies, which was actually smart of it IMO) is that Lilith only wants to use Sanctuary to take over Hell, and that allowing her to absorb Mephisto just facilitates this. But Lilith and/or Neyrelle (forget which again lol) make a similar point about Mephisto - he's a Prime Evil, obviously not a trustworthy guy. Lilith is also likely correct about Mephisto, but is just making that argument towards her own ends of "absorbing Mephisto and taking over Hell herself."

So Neyrelle's plan, that you go along with, is to gently caress them both over by sticking Mephisto in the stone and letting the protagonist kill Lilith (going against both their plans). Though Neyrelle also seems kind of dumb and is likely going to get corrupted by Mephisto while she wanders around with his soul stone. It's very dumb that Lorath is like "we should support the wishes of this moron who is basically going off to do "Dark Wanderer 2.0, Mephisto Edition."

Wandered around the Great Plateau in TOTK and man it's kind of shocking to me that Rebuild is gated behind the assumption that the player will naturally want to check out the tutorial area from the first game. It's such a core ability! It's like actually possible to build myself poo poo outside of extremely specific circumstances now and I only found it because I was loving around.

also made a bargain with a giant statue with four eyes hidden leagues below the surface of the earth, sure I won't regret that one

the follow the statue quest is like tailor made to make your 'bullshit quest' sensors go wild and its very funny that one of the main powers is behind it

I'm actually doing some depths poo poo now and it's cool as gently caress

there are, like, giant minibosses wandering around in the pitch black and you can stumble right into their arenas without noticing them if you don't throw a light seed

My gaming time is limited (parenting) and so I'm not afraid to admit I looked up "how the gently caress do you get past the lost woods" because I can't spend forever waiting to figure this poo poo out and the answer being "go in the depths and figure out a way up" both made sense and is something I never would have figured out on my own

Return of the Obra Dinn was cool when I was first playing it but then it's such a relentless parade of misery throughout that it's hard for me to go back and revisit it later.
