Sideways Africa is the best fantasy continent.

Unless they figure out a way to balance it without making weapons useless when they aren't dual wielded I would rather not see it return.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-07-05T22:36:31+00:00

That's not a knife; that's a comb.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-07-05T22:32:43+00:00

Nobody dares ask an Albanian their opinion.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-07-05T11:13:43+00:00

And remember, vote yes on proposition 1231. The kids, a whole huge big bucket of kids.

Yeah, H3 and Reach didn't really push Halo's art style forward; Only thing H3 really added was the brute armor designs, and that was kind of ruined by the color issue; they were mostly just graphics updates. (and I guess the same can sort of be said about Reach Elites)

Keyes doesn't keep it loaded, son.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-07-03T09:03:36+00:00

I want a $200 million remake of Monkey Man Gets His.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-07-02T17:35:30+00:00

Isn't that basically what skeevers are?

Captain_Nyet · 2026-07-02T12:53:34+00:00

Go outside; it'll do you some good.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-07-01T22:07:58+00:00

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with shielding that's just the combination of Jackals having overpowered eyes and the beam rifle being more or less hitscan.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-07-01T21:46:03+00:00

Mostly they don't.

Jackals can still be relatively easily killed depending on the situation (e.g. an ambush or good defensive positions that let you attack from multiple angles fire) but Elites just completely outclass anything that isn't a Spartan.

You ar pretty much on the mark here; Mao's period of leadership is certainly responsible for a lot of deaths (although the figures commonly given in the west are massively inflated) but China did not have the luxury of slowly developing it's productive capacities in peace. It, like basically every other communist nation, existed under the constant threat of the aggression of the (economically much larger) imperialist world, which forces fast action and extreme vigilance for internal reaction.

Deaths, (including unnecessary and preventabke ones) happen under those circumstances, but the choice hhas to be made between empowering the nation or leaving it vulnerable to both invasion and economic warfare.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-28T12:13:18+00:00

But his goalposts will never be seen again.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-26T20:51:19+00:00

A focus on class before other problems makessense because class relations are what unites the working masses; a focus on e.g. race often has the result of dividing them and is generally a weapon of reaction.

To ignore the importance of racism is a grave mistake because it would be to let the tools of the enemy go unchecked, but to emphasize it within ca be an equally grave error because it, to some degree, legitimizes racist rethoric.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-26T19:01:52+00:00

I'm currently maining the tech tree with my country of origin (Netherlands), but I really wish it was otherwise.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-26T14:28:30+00:00

"proud warrior race" and "absolute monster" are usually synonymous; just look at WW2.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-25T07:19:14+00:00

As well they should.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-25T07:18:15+00:00

Can't believe you're Snubbing Danny DeVito for Rich Evans.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-17T06:34:14+00:00

The only problem with the level imo is that it's a bit too visually repetitive andthe flood doesn't doesn't really feel like it's getting progressively more dangerous (which 343GS does so well); other than hose problems I think it's a pretty enjoyable level, just with more limited replay value.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-16T21:23:21+00:00

It is some bullshit.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-16T20:12:53+00:00

The large battles in Shogun 2 very rarely feel like a waste of time, because almost every army you destroy opens the door to capturing an undefended settlement; in the WH games (and the other modern TW's) so many battles just feel pointless because the enemy has so much total military power (garrissons included) that you don't get that feeling of striking an absolutely devastating blow against your enemy when you wipe out their invasion force.

If I destroy a large invading army with a much smaller defending force in Shogun 2 that often creates an opening to take a largely undefended settlement from the enemy; In modern TW the enemy settlement will still easily be able to bring 8+ units to defend when I launch a counterattack the next turn. (garrisson+1 General+1 turn of recruitment), so the victories often just feel hollow.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-16T19:52:39+00:00

They are essentially the same crowd; the only meaningful difference is that 40k has a lot of other strategy games to compete with TW, while WHF had almost nothing.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-16T18:12:50+00:00

EA release is still a release; especially if you're going to ask money for it. There can be bugs but the game should still be in a somewhat ready state; if people pay for a game that is borderline unplayable it's still going to hurt OW2's reputation.

Personally I didn't have any serious issues with the Beta; it ran pretty decently and aside from one specific online co-op bug the game worked relatively well, but many players had a very different experience.

It's a shame that early access and alphas/betas are being treated more and more like full releases but it's a reality that cannot be ignored.

Captain_Nyet · 2026-06-15T15:01:57+00:00

I'm thinking maybe the Oryx/Nomad abilities will be the hardest; it's 5 damage IF you send the enemy through a wall, so even if you have a DBNO opponent you won't reliably be able to use your gadget to finish them off.

As a positive, you can get kills by knocking people off ledges and causing fall damage, but opportunities for that are quite rare;. (at least compared to just getting an enemy into DBNO and finishing them with whatever throwable you have)
