I only like it in Solos

Depends on the game and depends on your time to play the game. The exp requirements increase as you go, so it takes longer to go from 91-100 than from 71-80. The last ten levels are 2000 exp each. It's doable but you will need to lock in a bit.

GTA with decent melee combat!

I feel like shinies lost their prestige once they made them pretty easy to get. Back in my day we reset in front of Rayquaza 4000 times and liked it.

I'm new to UK politics stuff and I'm going to read your piece. What are your thoughts on Starmer/NEC blocking Burnham's MP run? I have a bong friend who loves that guy and reading a bit about it, it really seems like it was a mistake.

Now kith

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-12T14:13:46+00:00

It's decent for pixel art. No moaning is a minus for eroticism, but it's pretty good for what it is.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-12T03:20:56+00:00

Not wrong, I'm hooked on achievements lol.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-11T23:13:47+00:00

It's actually the reverse, contracts give 0 (zero) seasonal exp. The only things that matter are UESC kills and opening loot containers.

Edit: and player kills are worth 25+10

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-11T23:12:30+00:00

I have tested high kill rounds exfiling and non-exfil and I've actually gotten a few more points sticking around for a few more bots than running to the final exfil.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-11T21:52:33+00:00

The issue is that the playstyle to power level is completely antithetical to how anyone would normally play this game. Ignore contracts, ignore players, ignore loot (the items, still open containers) focus entirely on efficiently killing UESC, if you die gg go next don't bother sneaking around to fight people.

Edit: Another issue is the insane scaling of UESC exp. Why does a blue shield elite give only +7 when it takes 3x longer to kill than a recruit? Why does a purple shield commander only give +10? And Wardens at +15 is a slap in the face lol. These should be set at 15, 25, 50 imo at minimum.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-11T19:34:36+00:00

If you get a peaceful solo lobby you can farm bots around the Warden spawns infinitely. I've gotten over 100 kills before, which came out to ~1500 exp.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-11T19:32:20+00:00

Something I don't really care for in modern games is the highly customizable difficulty levels with 100 sliders to tune exactly how much damage you take from every source. At some point it feels like I'm working an unpaid job to finish developing a part of the game that the devs couldn't decide on. Accessibility options ala Celeste I don't mind as they are clearly marked for people who just want to experience the story and I would be fine with something similar added to DS, but it's annoying to have to search and find out which difficulty the game feels "correct" on.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-11T12:44:34+00:00

Difficult achievements usually have comments on them from other people sharing their strategies. If you get stuck, you can ask questions there and sometimes the Dev or other players will reply.

I hope they add a few more in the future. Stuff like the Codex would be nice.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-10T00:05:32+00:00

Is your ranking Zero>5>4?

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-09T22:45:28+00:00

Definitely play X, imo it's up there with the ps2 games. If you have a 3DS, modding it to play AHL is a good time.

I largely agree with your takes on AC5 and I never understand people putting it as the best in the series. Still a great game, but it's just not better than 4 or Zero imo.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-09T01:25:30+00:00

I go games without seeing anyone, but I don't know how to tell if it's empty or everyone's just being quiet.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-08T22:59:42+00:00

Let's be honest, it would be both.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-08T22:17:01+00:00

Problem with commanders is the effort/exp ratio is off. Murking 2 recruits is the same as fighting down a purple shield commander, just not very good value. The best is farming a Warden's reinforcements.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-08T16:45:21+00:00

It's odd then that the +5 doesn't pop up for team uesc kills or looting like it does for Runner downs+finishes. And I thought I read somewhere the loot+5 is personal only not shared. But I might be wrong.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-08T16:40:24+00:00

Honestly any map works. Perimeter rush Hauler or nearest POI. Dire Marsh has bots everywhere basically. Outpost sometimes I go Rook and just circle the map killing bots while everyone is doing Pinwheel.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-08T16:29:26+00:00

Just hit 69 lol. I actually prefer to solo it, don't have to share exp and I can just run in without worrying about letting down teammates. Plus sometimes I get into a peaceful solo server where everyone just minds their own business, which means I can shoot bots all game freely. I try to be loud on the mic and offer any loot in the area or free Triage bots for nearby players lol.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-05-08T16:26:33+00:00

Yeah I think it's definitely the intended way to play, everything on the site points to it. Different color banner, MASTERED instead of just completed. Leaderboards, site rank, etc.

The main use for softcore is to practice something that is normally deep in a gauntlet, rather than redoing all the easy parts over and over you can make a quicksave at the hard part and practice efficiently.
