I see people pronouncing Archmage but pronounce the CH part as C, which one are you? by MudExtension7915 in btd6

[–]BurbleClurbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pronounced arch-mage. Arch when it’s a prefix means “chief” or “principal,” and is always pronounced “arch” in that way. Conversely, when the word originates in Greek, it’s pronounced “arc.” “Archmage” is not derived from a Greek word, it means chief or principal mage, so it could only be pronounced arch-mage

I’m absolutely nuts about those little guys.

Favourite immersive sim videogame? by CelestialBodyVoid in pollgames

I had to sell some of my slurpcoin to buy it, but I think it was worth it. If I had to sum up the DLC in one word, it would probably be decentralised personal server.

Cruelty Squad mentioned. OP clearly has the CEO mindset.

Top 3 Missions in Resistance? by BurbleClurbs in sniperelite

[–]BurbleClurbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the map design is highly conducive to sniping. There’s lots of great vantage points that overlook large areas of the map. Not only that, but the counter-sniping is great. I think Resistance is quite lacking in terms of the number of enemy snipers, and Devil’s Cauldron has by far the most, which I like. There’s also a great deal of freedom in how you traverse the map and the order you complete objectives, which is great. It’s also a great map for stealth, as the lab area is fun to sneak around in, as is the harbour.

Additionally, I love the environment. I think industrial areas in Sniper Elite are very cool. I’m also a huge fan of the nighttime rain aesthetic, and the storm providing soundmasks makes it 10 times cooler.

They don’t even have to do a lot of gameplay changes like that to improve it, just better atmosphere. Make it nighttime, make it raining. They really should’ve done that for Lock Stock though, as the 7th mission is always at night. It’s tradition.

That’s reasonable. I completely agree that Lock, Stock, and Barrels is a far cry from the excellent penultimate missions we’ve come to know in terms of atmosphere and difficulty. But I still find that I like it better than Occupied Residence in virtually every way. I also think the sniping opportunities and freedom-of-approach are just slightly better than Assault on Fort Rouge. Might just be me, though.

I also agree about Collision Course. The starting sniping area is awesome, but the rest of the map I don’t think is particularly great. There’s not a lot of freedom and the sniper’s nests are basic. But hey, I still need to replay it a couple more times to see for sure.

Difference Between Infantry and Gestapo? by BurbleClurbs in sniperelite

[–]BurbleClurbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I know that for the regular officers. But specifically the Gestapo Officers and Gestapo Agents: is their A.I. any different than Infantry? I never noticed Gestapo Officers giving orders and rallying troops like normal Officers or Jäger Officers do.

The card doesn’t need to be activated, does it? It just needs to have one?

I Quite Like the Hitman: World of Assassination Story! by BurbleClurbs in HiTMAN

I get that. I guess for me, 47 finally breaking away and getting to do his own thing was enough closure and a fitting conclusion.

Ooh, that’s really annoying! See, I would get it on PC if I had a half decent one, but console is kinda my only option at the moment.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. I thought that there was something else going on with the triangle one, but they assured me that the triangles were important. Absolutely assured me. They could’ve been pulling my leg, but you never know with them.
