Morglon posted:They're too busy literally selling community mods they packed some vague content into as real DLC to patch any actual bugs. At least that explains why they're taking their time with the GECK. Yeah I do love that the first dlc is all the same poo poo modders would be putting out in mass quantity. If, y'know, the GECK was out. I usually can't bring myself to give a poo poo about ~dlc moneygrubbing drama~ but that just feels blatant.

A White Guy posted:The worst about of HL1 on hard mode was killing the marine, but him still nailing you in the face with a grenade fired milliseconds before he died. Some mods for the STALKER games that give the AI more gear result in this too. Those guys still may not be able to aim their shorty paratrooper AK's very well but you bet your gibbed rear end they're a crack 300-yard shot with that goddamn grenade launcher. Oh you have a sniper rifle? That's cute, better fuckin not miss. THUMP...BOOM

On the other hand, every jackass solider carrying a loaded underbarrel meant I had more than enough grenades to play with beyond just OH poo poo A CONTROLLER moments. So that was cool. But yeah the fact that they could just point click *boom* you're dead meant there was a looot of quicksaving. The OGSE mod added automated LMG turrets to military structures that would gun you down even in good armor in about 3 bullets. Those things were complete bullshit. So naturally I got a mod mod to tone them down. Actually, thinking back, popping those fuckers was my #1 use of grenade launchers for quite a while.

The first bit after you get upgraded force choke was amazing and made up for Nar Shadda. A long narrow path over a pit with swarms of stormtroopers? Choke, fling AAAAAH. Choke, fling AAAAAH. Repeat like 50 times.

Perestroika posted:Yeah, you have this fancy future-magic setting that would theoretically allow for really exotic weapons and stuff. But in effect it's pretty much always "assault rifle + assault rifle + rocket launcher", because most of the time the other weapon types simply don't offer anything better. There's a handful of exotic weapons that try to be a bit more interesting, but even those often don't really offer any new real gameplay options. It's still pretty much just "point at enemy, hold left click until enemy dead". Whether it's a stream of bullets or an energy ray is not really much of a difference. Actually with the latest updates the PvP has swung the other way. Time to kill is stupid fast, at least with the most OP exotic weapons. Which, obviously, everyone uses. 2-3 burst kills from the best pulse rifles as soon as you round a corner, it's really really lame.

Lord Lambeth posted:There's a pretty great mod called freeside open that blows down all the linking doors in between the various outdoor regions of freeside. It makes it quite a bit better than the base game. It might have been time that they ran out of but they also had to work with bethesda's jank rear end engine and they also had to make sure it worked fine on 360/PS3 hardware, so everything had to be tightened up. Console comparability was the woooorst. I still remember that Primm was a helluva fight the first time through, at launch. My next playthrough? After a patch, which reduced the enemy spawns from like a dozen+ to 4 dudes cause the poor consoles had trouble with it. What a lame duck experience.

Sure lessens the impact of finding the hidden alcove in a random cave within a tomb in which hides the only obtainable, unenchanted daedric helm in the entire world, when eventually random rear end bandits will be decked out in the stuff.

Xenonauts: A mid 2010's OG Xcom-alike irrating things: There is damage variance to the anti-air weapons. So sometimes my two-ship flight of interceptors will blast a landing ship out of the sky with their huge missiles, while other times the dice roll will leave it at 2% health, merrily bombing the poo poo out of rural Indochina.

MiddleOne posted:Which sadist developer decided that EXP should be tied to difficulty in Elex 2. The game is already super-grindy and interspersed with a hard-level requirement to proceed the story. Why would you do this. Because its an old guard game? Elex 1 sure was. Random aside cause I'm chanting "I won't buy Elex 2 just cause its on sale" to myself. Does ranged combat still suck utter balls?

Or when New Vegas has DANGER AHEAD signs near the starting zone so you go "pff whatever" and stride into Quarry Junction, the hardest area in the entire game And then you learn, and go elsewhere. I sure did after getting eviscerated in quarry junction. Sure put the game down in a huff if you want, or play on. poo poo happens.

CitizenKain posted:I hit a mission in BT where it was a few medium mechs, and icons for vehicles. Turns out a bunch of those vehicles were SRM carriers, and had 6 SRM4s or something on them, and they could basically drive straight up, fire everything and have a good chance of crippling a mech. They also all got to go before I did. Yeah SRM carriers are one of the handful of "HAHA SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER" vehicles that will sucker punch you if you're not ready and keep to the assumption that you can run a light mech up and stomp on all vehicles all the time. They can really put the hurt on. Encountering them did inspire me to fit out a mech version of an SRM carrier though. That bastard could jump jet in behind drat near anything and core it out in one volley.

christmas boots posted:I like games where you can skip the tutorials but then the game is like “ok, but if you ever need a refresher it’s all in the tutorial menu” for when you sheepishly need to crawl back later Persistent onscreen control prompts have been a boon for me, especially in something like RDR2 where I come back to chill and vibe in the wilderness now and then, and each button pulls like triple duty in context sensitive actions.
