picked up steel division 2 on the steam sale

its pretty neat, kind of feels like a cross between coh and total war is the closest thing i can think of. especially dope are dug-in defending battles where you get to lay out a shitload of barbed wire and have trenches and mg/at bunkers set up

way too many units tho it's hard to tell what does what

It's pretty good yeah. The AI at higher difficulty levels can be pretty tricky.

Units are a bit easier to understand if you filter by type and nationality. How you build an army is up to you. It's generally recommended to experiment and tinker until you're happy.

somewhere on my hd ive got a screenie saved of 4 bmps butting heads like the hungry hungry hippos cause their pathfinding interpreted my group move as 'bunch up on the same pixel'

That was several patches ago tho. In general ive noticed the skirmish AI is much better than the scripting on 'Operations' (ie 'historical battles'). Youve got to bump it up to at least Hard though, before that it literally doesnt have object permanence wrt units

Jesus Christ, decided to finally try Cyberpunk 2077 because people said it was fixed now. I went to rebind WSAD to ESDF, and when I tried to bind the S I got a KEYBIND FAILURE message. I have actually never had this happen in a game before and apparently you have to go mess with the config file to bind stuff right. So far the game feels like someone made a Deus Ex game but edgey with an Elon Musk Cybertruck filter over the aesthetics.

assuming the same writing team, i'd expect it's a lot easier to adapt an existing narrative into a new one with the same characters, than it is to essentially start from scratch withing an existing setting. like, there's a reason people do fan fiction, and it's not solely because they want to write about the characters smooching. even if witcher 3 is a case of fan fiction with characters smooching.

They also didn't have a plot even close to settled by the time they started development, so it was clear they were patchworking what V could be together as the game was going on and I don't think it really worked out for them.

I think once they got Keanu and changed the starting system from a pick your own mentor sorta thing to a "you all get your favorite, Johnny" they should have not bothered with the origin splits or whatever because they are ultimately really shallow. Just make it one V, and give us a lot more time with Jackie at the start for some more pathos.

Oh yeah, I deleted that bit from my post and forgot to put it back in, but it definitely also seems like a big factor. Hell, I'd argue that any kind of relatively standard fantasy might be easier to do, just because you can draw from history in your language and attitudes, and people are more likely to find any weirdness just funny or charming, where future stuff easily ends up like some middle aged dude trying to sound cool, but not in a funny way.

hosed up development, simple as that. The storyline in the dlc is so much better, and better told, than the rest of the game. I didn't want to leave dogtown :(

Sandrock really dips into Full-Life Consequences every now and then. A rich businessman offers to resettle everyone from the dying town that's reliant on water imports to survive, to a green and pleasant land. Except the nice place is the disputed borderland with a rival country, and they're paying for settlers to boost their claim on the area
