The final fight in jagged Alliance 3 is gruesome and I think half my teams have been downed and there's like 5 more elites still in the wings bearing down on me with pinpoint accuracy. I both love and hate it.

btw for anyone else struggling with the final three figths: you can do them with all mercs at once, I had a full 17 in modded gear, was very cool

Got Far Cry 6 with the help of an empress.


It’s better than I expected tbh. I’m liking the more light hearted and stylized presentation over the gloomier 5. It’s still very ubi and very Far Cry, but it’s pleasant enough. They let you play as a woman so hell yeah and they’ll sing along with the radio. you don’t have to pat down corpses for loot anymore. The gun roster still hasn’t changed but they let you stick on attachments that are mostly homemade.

I haven’t left tutorial island so idk what Giancarlo’s deal is. My head canon is that the rebels are the communists and that also this is a new mode in a Tropico game. Hopefully by the end I become a Boiadeiro

He's a dictator who was democratically elected and opposes the communists (who are all elderly and reliving the glory days of a previous successful revolution that apparently did not lead to a communist government). The CIA is on your side with overthrowing him even though he's exporting a miracle cancer cure because he uses slave labor in his fields.

Also go do the Rambo DLC to get cool-rear end exploding arrows.

MGS5s budget was super high because they spent a ton of it developing their own proprietary multiplatform engine that ran super well on even past-generation consoles (seriously, mgs5 runs great even on ps3/360) that was supposed to be used for all of konamis games going forward. Since konami shuttered all of those, the fox engine has been used for Pro Evolution Soccer and the mgs3 pachinko machine.

This. I don't know why anyone would side with the Konami C suite over Kojima Productions on this. MGSV sold well and even after the Japanese and American studios were dissolved they shat out PES games, Survive, pachinko etc. to milk the engine further.

Wild Dancer has low damage for anything but large groups, but it's very good for cheesing the latest dungeon stages (where enemies hit very hard and it seems like the only reliable way to avoid damage is via spinning constantly in Wild Dancer, which can combo indefinitely with certain upgrades).

The real DPS is from regular gun stance (with some Swordsman at the beginning to break armor if necessary). It's boring, though.

In terms of fun I think Swordsman is my favorite, mainly because its Tiger Drop-equivalent is fun and looks really cool. Feel like a badass when you pull it off repeatedly against a boss.

as someone who burned out in PoE back in like 2015 and had some fundamental issues with the structural mechanics of the game and has no desire to ever play it again no matter how many updates it gets, i'm happy about poe2 being an actual different game.

sounds good to me

are you meant to have the magical support spells active at all times in ishin? the ones from the dungeon?

every time i enter a random encounter in the street it automatically casts spells to wipe all the mooks out before i hit them. i thought it was a bug but it might be intentional. it took all the fun out of the game and i haven't played since

i think it's mostly that poe2 is going to be more like poe1 was earlier in its life. in short, a much slower and deliberate game where you have to actually stop for half a second to kill an enemy, and all the boss fights we've seen so far look p. great too

because poe1 is a fever dream of a game where you explode enemies all around you as you run through maps at the speed of sound, and boss fights are an exercise in patience as you wait for the boss' invulnerability phases to pass after you do 3 gorillion damage to it in 0.1 seconds as soon as it spawns, hitting the fight breakpoints instantly

i've played poe1 into endgame semi-regularly from mid-2018 and did my last league before poe2 last year but what they've shown of poe2 is *insanely* different so far lol. i haven't decided whether that's good or bad just yet, but it looks like it could be fun from the preview videos on twitch at least

Unfortunately you can only bring two teams to the very final fight. It is absolutely the place you should bring all your grenade launchers and RPGs because the enemy is all about people hiding behind pillars and firing at you from out of regular ranges.

As I mentioned elsewhere the game is mostly good aside from the notzombie content. It also needs some kinda postal service because it takes forever to figure out where I put all my junk. That or just let us get Bobby Ray's again.

it's the worst boss in the game and yeah like mentioned, the game has a weird point where you can tell things went wrong in development. Funny thing is it's still better than most games. That's fromsoft!

the communists are only one of the groups trying overthrow him. the others are a saintly hacendado family that want to save their workers from exploitation and some tiktok influencers

Every once in a while I remember a cartoon of Kaz Hirai holding a PS3 with some sort of demon face on it crying blood, which was making the rounds on here about 17(!) years ago during the respective E3.

Google's been no use to me, is there anyone here that happens to have it sitting in some folder?
