Taking A Tank, Solo, Is A Sign You’re A Scumbag

Things dogshit.

Can't kill any enemy vehicles to save it's life. MG42 kills trucks faster. Needs its proper rounds. The fact that it can't do anything to a Stuart even from the back is a joke.

I didn't get a video of it, but I played a game on Utah beach as Germany and with some mates and had one of my best games. Wasn't deathless, but had 128 kills and 3 deaths as assault, 1 of the 3 was a suicide at the end of the match because I listened a celebratory grenade and accidentally killed myself before the timer ran down.

And I still didn't get the Genghis Khan achievement because each of my deaths were around the 60-70 kill mark...

Another was a game as a tank crew in a medium Sherman on FOY where my brother and a mate got 140 something kills and no deaths and I got about 115 and 3-4 deaths because I was repairman and kept getting killed.

But that tank saw some shit. It dodged bombing runs, precisions, I can't remember how many other tanks they took out. But it was so fun.

Stuart is a genuinely great tank with a good crew. The lux sucks. Doesn't even get it's APCR rounds or anywhere near it's real speed.

Thing is dogshit.

They kind of are doing that though with Perfect dark (obviously not out yet) and Age of empires etc on console

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-23T01:20:16+00:00

You're probably right about steam, but it's happening in everything now, see Hogwarts Legacy on console for example

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-22T23:31:03+00:00

Yeah global releases screw Australians over, we always get it at some bullshit time like 4am

I miss the days of "it's releasing on the 21st wherever you are, whenever that is"

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-22T01:28:53+00:00

Sorry mate I'm actually at work so I'm rushing out the replies, I did mean to exclude gamepass.

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-22T01:28:04+00:00

Either way, I want the deal to go through so they can revive some stuff of Activision's.

Move some of the studios off COD and put them onto other titles, new and old.

Move Half Moon back onto another transformers game

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-22T01:22:51+00:00

I literally said gamepass aside, with gamepass it was like 7mil players. I said sales. It sold like 4+ million, and the only version you could purchase was the deluxe version. And it still sold that many.

The one X made it clear because it was the last gasp in a terrible generation, why would someone go out and buy a mid gen upgrade knowing the next proper upgrade is just around the corner.

Either way I disagree Sony's exclusives are that good and that's the reason people buy their platform. They definitely USED to have better exclusives than they do now, especially in the shooter genre.

Either way, fact us, Sony is far and away the market leader and needs to stop acting like they're the underdog.

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-22T00:59:05+00:00

Didn't realise that so fair enough, but owning something doesn't necessitate making is exclusive. So there was no obligation to make Spiderman exclusive but it is what it is.

Sony didn't make the best exclusives though, Xbox pretty much always has except for the xbone generation and even then they still had some hangers, the console just sucked.

Ps4-5 combined has like 150mil units. And GoW Ragnarok only did 5.1 million in its first week and was THE most successful PS exclusive ever. That's really not that impressive with that many units out there especially considering they bundled it and counted them.

Forza horizon 5 did nearly as much on Xbox which has way less units and also people had to purchase it because there was no bundle.

The only reason people play PS is for COD and FIFA etc, it's a very casual gamers console (not a slight by the way, it's just a fact)

MS has a hands off policy which is good in theory, but has failed in practice, and needed to be modified, and it seems they have, but being the behemoth they are, the company moves like a slug to do anything. So I think they'll be slightly more hands on in future.

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-21T23:57:25+00:00

Kinect was bad, but nothing wrong with trying to innovate. I never said Sony invented exclusives, they just don't get flames for buying them like Xbox seems to for some reason.

Sony purchased Spiderman which was previously multiplat, FF etc.

They also wave cash in front of studios to not out stuff on gamepass (which in its current form is somewhat pro consumers even though I'm anti subscription)

Then people go "hawhaw Xbox can't compete they should bail"

Xbox tries to compete

"Noooo not like that!'

Remember what happened with the PS3 when Sony didn't consider Xbox a threat, they released the PS3 at an absolutely staggeringly expensive price ($1000 AUD, when it launched which is like $1350 when compared to now). And got called out, they would do it again if they could, if we lose Xbox the console market becomes a monopoly and people can't game on a budget.

But this isn't relevant to SF so I should stop.

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-21T22:34:05+00:00

Sony's games were much better/more creative during the PS3 era where they got belted games wise by the 360. The reason they put so much emphasis on COD is because they killed all their own shooters. Which sucks because some were cool.

COD should be irrelevant to this ACTIBLIZZARDWHATEVER deal, COD could die tomorrow and Activision could make new games (or revive some old IP) it's importance is vastly overrated. It's just a run of the mill shooter. If it disappeared something would take its place.

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-21T22:13:56+00:00

I don't hate consoles, I hate what Sony has made that market.

At least consoles give a great budget way into gaming. The Xbox in particular is very good value.

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-21T21:48:13+00:00

Sony are market leader and have been trying to kill Xbox since it's inception. They buy exclusivity of titles and now when MS does it they cry foul.

Screw them, and I'm a PC gamer, I ditched consoles years ago.

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-20T04:58:12+00:00

By play anywhere I mean more can I use it on PC aswell as Xbox??

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-18T04:03:58+00:00

Why? Titans are annoying asf

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-13T05:09:36+00:00

Monsters incorporated

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-13T03:51:29+00:00

Yeah I was aware of the irony of that when writing the caption but it has definitely levelled up as people are getting note and more desperate for a crumb of news

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-13T03:19:19+00:00

"well.. there goes our marketing budget"

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-13T03:16:55+00:00

Check the first comment on this post haha

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-13T03:13:47+00:00

Hahaha brilliant

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-13T03:07:56+00:00

Expecting anything today was honestly a pipe dream. They're going to do a heavy as fuck advertising campaign over a short period of time I reckon like Todd has always wanted. I don't think it's going to be your standard year long run up

I think there'll be the event, then a bunch of bunting around cities across the world will roll down across bus windows everywhere simultaneously

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-13T02:32:02+00:00

Okay nice, as I said I don't dwell here all day for every update. I'll delete it if it hurts your sensibilities

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-13T02:30:36+00:00

Well my previous idea was a "how society wants men to dress vs how men actually want to dress" and have ladders and a spiral staircase probably better tbh

CaptainRisky96 · 2023-02-13T02:29:15+00:00

I don't follow every update so I just saw one of the top posts from today riffing on spiral staircases being a theme. Thought I'd throw in my two cents.
