i have been trying to play some Wasteland 2 but once again I've burnt out on it. Haven't even made it to the mad monks yet which is the furthest i've been in the game..

Should I just give up and move onto Wasteland 3 or will I be glad I finished 2 first?

3 is way better than 2 and if you've had enough of 2 it doesn't really substantially change except for fighting the scorpion robots which tbh aren't very impressive.

God that game fuckin sucked. As a kid my parents got us a game gear with that and this terminator 2 game


So terrible i don't think we ever asked for another game gear game. Cool piece of hardware, though you'd need a pallet of batteries to make it truly portable

Subnautica on switch works well enough and you can even use console commands so when it inevitably fucks up and your mech suit clips through the seafloor you can just spawn another

I only pay full price for fromsoft games. A lotta games nowadays take a couple patches to be playable anyway plus there's just so many games and i have a backlog of stuff to go through.
Been considering getting sf6, though, because the playerbase will probably drop off pretty soon and then it will just be a core of impossibly hard maniacs brutally defeating me

Heaven help you if you start getting into platinum ranks.

Ok then, i can hold off on that then. They'll probably release a dozen different editions of it anyway so maybe I'll wait for the hyper turbo mega champion edition

I’ve been playing chivalry for awhile and have like 650 hours and it makes me wish the medieval multiplayer melee space wasn’t so empty, every patch introduces novel new bugs to the extent that I think torn banner deserves some recognition for innovation in dysfunction

Chivalry fuckin rules. I was on a siege tower and it glitched when it deployed so i was standing on the ladder part and got catapulted like 500 ft in the sky and then plummeted back to earth screaming. Amazing game, love the yelling

Chiv really is the only game like this that integrates the absurd stuff into the actual mechanics with serious devotion and it does add a lot having guys doing wrestling moves with chairs, playing the lute, being shot out of catapults, etc

I’m level 530 now and get first place most matches post PS+ but I think the sweaty try hard gameplay is so much better for being alloyed by poo poo like flaming chickens and peasants knocking guys off horses by throwing plows

It's such a fun game and there's a wide variety of objectives that are all fun. Stealing pigs, throwing nobles off a pier, burning a library, killing a guy. It feels great when you complete the objective for your team like when you set the last bookshelf on fire and then whip around and cut some guy's arm off.
It's also pretty easy to identify which players are good and should be approached with caution because they have all the cool looking stuff. And there's a good treadmill of weapons to unlock as well. I got the one handed spear the other day and was just slaughtering people. Glorious!

In a second person shooter you control the guy shooting you, so you line up the gun on yourself and pull the trigger.

I spent an entire afternoon last month learning it and playing it to get far enough to unlock bike lanes and remodel my entire city around having them everywhere

at some point you either have to do large-scale remodeling of your city, or start building with an "endgame" layout in mind, and I wasn't really mentally prepared for doing that, but it was nice to pursue a more modest goal

Yeah it seems like a pretty big time investment to learn all the systems so the game is fun but it didn't get its hooks in me. It seemed more like a proof of concept than a game

I love that all the diablo posts in the thread are like "this thing is dogshit. It sucks and I have to grind for 100 hours and it will bug out and make me lose all progress. I will keep playing this its soooo fun"

I played a bit of it. Seems like an even less responsive version of diablo 3 with slightly better graphics but i was pretty drunk so maybe it gets better. The menus and levelling are still clunky and stupid and the plot/dialogue are more of the same slop. They had a "diab-low" bar to clear to get people to buy it and i think they succeeded

That's always the problem with diablo necromancers. Skeleton army just gets fuckin wrecked by harder bosses. In d2 you had to be a bonemancer or do some bullshit with a blood golem and a curse, i don't recall

There are apparently some builds around damage reduction that make the player's survivability better. But also apparently damage reduction is OP and will get nerfed at some point.

The minions get a late-in-the-tree skill that causes them to only lose 30% of health per hit max that improves their survivability a lot.

It would be cool if you start out with skeletons with rusty daggers and as you level up your skeletons get armor and magic and eventually you start summoning bone chariots and maybe like a composite skeleton man made out of dozens of men worth of bones so they have legs with 12 femurs a piece
Not like in diablo 2 where i hosed up my build with too many skeletons and ended up having to kite diablo around his lair with a crossbow for half an hour

Diablo 2's Necromancer has actually gotten better since you've played it last where it's possible to complete at least Nightmare with nothing but points in Summoning

but the real secret is that a Druid Summoner is better than a Necromancer Summoner nowadays because you're not reliant on corpses
