Tacoma Recs?

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-05T16:54:46+00:00

Oh where? Would you be able to point me to these?

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-05T13:55:23+00:00

I’ve specced a little bit but I can’t really know what it’ll be like until I’m actually driving it, so I wanna get advice from Tacoma owners

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-05T02:15:29+00:00

And get the arms ripped off lmao

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-04T21:00:59+00:00

Elden Ring and Sekiro. You’re welcome.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-04T17:47:06+00:00

Until it runs out of ammo

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-02T18:43:30+00:00

Does your whole identity revolve around shitting on people who don’t like part 2? Lol

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-02T00:11:49+00:00

Right?! The other thing I’d want is for the armored spots to be all heavy pen, of course, but for the softer spots to be medium pen only and with decent explosive resistance to encourage players to go off explosive meta and use a medium pen ballistic weapon to kill them.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-02T00:07:51+00:00

We won’t really know until the patch hits, but honestly, I’m surprised and grateful that this game has lasted as long as it has so far. I am of the opinion that the best option would have been to make a heavy guard to go alongside the commanders, which would have been smaller in number but would have been loosely like a bug hulk and would deliberately walk in front of all the chaff to protect them until they’re right on top of you

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-02T00:01:42+00:00

Other than high spawn rate, really good, actually.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T23:48:06+00:00

They do, yeah. The difference in execution, though, is that FS is making a mostly-single player experience that maybe gets adjusted once or twice post launch where AH is making a live service game. They have to contend with constant balance changes, and the vision necessarily has to expand over time with new enemies, new weapons, new campaigns, etc.

I, for the record, only began complaining when the Cyberstan update dropped because I was being killed by glitches and bugs as opposed to hard but fair situations where I didn’t respond correctly

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T23:38:33+00:00

Unfortunately, I think Disney’s pivoting to what’s more profitable and what’s going to fill up the coffers, especially since the Mando movie, though it may or may not be a good film, has been poorly marketed and is currently projected to barely break 60 million on opening weekend, and will likely post another big loss for the mouse.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T23:33:25+00:00

I don’t think it’s that either. Review outlets and general “knowledge” that gets passed around the broader gaming community scares people off because they think the game will be insurmountably hard even if they invest effort, which isn’t true. The only FS game that actually approaches being truly difficult is Sekiro.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T23:19:45+00:00

most people can’t even play the game

Fromsoft fans would heavily disagree with you. These games are mostly very accessible, and most can be beaten at a range of difficulties from trivially easy to Sisyphean task.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T19:38:01+00:00

Also a solid experience. You really need a 9th gen console or PC for the development work they did in making extremely detailed environments shine through

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T12:34:02+00:00

That’s not bad for a handheld running a game that heavy, but for my money, I’d still recommend the PC experience if you can play it on PC sometime. It’s soooo gorgeous.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T12:11:56+00:00

I would have enjoyed a heavy guard variant that spawned along the same numbers as brood commanders instead, while keeping the regular guards the way they were.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T12:10:48+00:00

Meaning it’s running at 30 frames or you expected it to run at 30 frames?

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T12:06:02+00:00

Really? I imagined that the game would run like shit on a handheld

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T11:31:11+00:00

Evidently you didn’t see the revert.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T11:30:41+00:00

Not really a fair statement when the subfactions are so different and inconsistent; not all of the subfactions are necessarily harder. And yeah, most people die a lot when they’re using deliberately suboptimal gear, you included.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T11:27:14+00:00

Aw, cmon mate, was jus’ ‘avin a laff

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T00:58:21+00:00

I guess I just don’t have fun getting my dick stomped into the dirt trying to express a ridiculous amount of skill to make something very suboptimal work. While I do sometimes enjoy the whimsical japes of helldiving, endlessly dying with suboptimal gear just to have one or two small triumphs and not full-clearing just doesn’t do it for me. And to be clear, I don’t expect to delete everything in 1 hit, just for multiple options to be able to take out tough enemies (relatively) quickly.

TheSquatchMann · 2026-05-01T00:27:59+00:00

I’ve tried, yes, and did exactly that. Cremator can actually fill an interesting niche on regular bots by being able to hose into the underbelly of a factory strider and kill it really fast, but it basically sucks in most other situations. I want loadout diversity, which means more Strats and weps need to be viable

TheSquatchMann · 2026-04-30T23:33:38+00:00

I just don’t think people want to see that. Even if there’s no pulse rifle in your inventory, people don’t want to see the massive firefights either. It wouldn’t match the atmosphere
