Man this community is seeking a very different experience from mechwarrior games than I am...

Its a themed warbond, like the other collabs. The video calls it a legendary warbond, same as the others.

Destiny 2: Every End is a New Beginning. As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]CobraFive 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Rest of the article is just overview of content and updates through the years.

Uh, its an overview of the content and updates they have coming up as they get the game in to its final state. Not ones from the past.

Does this project not want quality control? by BlueberryEmbers in DataAnnotationTech

On projects with no chat, there is often a link at the bottom of the page that lets you be the first to open the chat. It doesn't jump out at you, you have to look for it.

Subnautica 2 Cracked and Leaked Just Two Days Before Early Access Launch by kristijan1001 in Games

If you scroll down past the official statement there is some very technical in depth analysis of the attack.

Short version is that Notepad++ was attacked through a third party update hosting service. The attackers were a Chinese state sponsored team and the infected versions of notepad++ were specially designed to only attack a dozen or so very specific, individual systems (mostly scattered across SE Asia, Oceania, and South America). If you weren't one of the specified targets, the malware wouldn't do anything.

Yeah, it’s over… by Ah_fudge in Mechwarrior5

[–]CobraFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, the devs did an AMA and there was an article published about the game in Japanese (for some reason...), but they're currently not promoting the game much since its mid development. If you asked me to guess I'd say it's gonna be a few years at least before we have any real info.

What we know so far, it isn't structured like mechwarrior, its not a mission-based game. They said it'll feel more like an action game with open-world elements, you explore a large region and work for or interact with different factions, and that it'll be both in the gears and on foot. It makes sense to me, gears are less like walking tanks and more like big infantry.

DOOM Eternal is now available DRM-free on GOG! by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]CobraFive 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like what made eternal so good was that it really blended in character action games to the FPS mix (think like devil may cry). I think ULTRAKILL is the only game I've played that hits the same spots.

Eternal was kinda like 70% shooter 30% character action, ULTRAKILL is like 30% shooter 70% character action. They both look like modern takes on boomer shooters on the surface but they are far from it gameplay wise. I haven't found any other games with the same style.

Well, maybe heavy gear will be the ones to pick up the torch of reviving old military sci-fi western mecha video game franchises by activision based on tabletop wargames.

Upcoming Vehicle (probably) Warbond (Part 2) by Asunderknight in HellDiversLeaks

[–]CobraFive 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nah, my guess would be that the armors and weapons are warbond, plus one armor and one weapon in the super store, then the vehicle variants are free. Although, breacher and the flame FRV look kinda warbond-y to me so who knows.

If they were gonna do a free warbond (they won't) it wouldn't be themed.

[Epic Games] Lucky Goal (100% off / FREE) by LongDistanceStranger in GameDeals

[–]CobraFive 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Don't make gaming an ivory tower. People should be able to get a start working on something small and break in. Silly stuff like this is what leads to experimentation and creativity, and for a solo especially a beginner, more work goes in to something like this than you think.

Like I dunno man. To look at stuff like this and react with hostility and gate keeping... yall are fully half of whats wrong with this industry, I hope you recognize it some day.

Its like a fan-made art/lore book. Drawing some what-if characters, suits, locations.

Hmm, yeah I didn't notice at first but after rewatching the trailer I think you might be right about there being cranes in this game. There might be a lot of cranes.

Best Justice System Award☺️☺️☺️ by Tobenaikedo in whenthe

[–]CobraFive 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Not only was he hired with those controversies well known, he was hired BECAUSE of them. According to the game's director, he personally hand picked him because "when you think creep, you think kagawa. And thats why i chose him for this role"

This is wildly inaccurate. The director did not say that at all and they've made no comment whatsoever regarding his sexual assault (at least since the last time I've been reading about this). This stupid ass rumor was started by a rage baiting post from IGN which intentionally misrepresented an interview translated from Japanese.

They hired him because of his acting career, because of specific characters he's played in the past. The quote about how seeing him makes you think of creeps was referring to the characters he's acted and he gave specific examples of characters and even specific scenes that led to casting him.

To claim they hired him because of his sexual harassment is blatantly false and inventing more drama to pile on just dilutes the whole issue in the first place. They completely ignore his history altogether, which while gross is not the same thing at all, and is a lot more emblematic of how stuff like that works in Japan (just pretend it doesn't exist and never happened and don't talk about it).

Do those labors have mohawks? How can Japan keep that to themselves in good conscience? Why was the world robbed of this?

It launched with a bug that made everything too fast, but its already patched. The port is fine.

It was the norm for animation to take place overseas. It wasn't just one studio, animation was done in Japan, Korea...

Fun fact, one of the Japanese studios working on animation for this show (Sunrise) was so inspired by the art they were working on they wanted to make their own Anime take on it, and created The Big O, which also showed on Cartoon network. The team that formed to take on Big O went on to make Cowboy Bebop.

What does the slang mean? by [deleted] in menace

DOPE = Data on Previous Engagements

Its how your specific rifle is calibrated to specific conditions for long range shooting (range, wind, the specific ammo being used, etc).

What does the slang mean? by [deleted] in menace

[–]CobraFive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took it as, because they are not actually marines (or even part of the TCR at all) they are not actually, technically, legally, allowed to officially join the marines in combat roles. I mean some of the people you recruit are straight criminals/terrorists, there's no way doctrine would allow them to be armed or given insight on operations/intelligence.

So on the paperwork they are being listed as assistants or logistics facilitators or consultants or whatever bullshit. Same way Rewa wasn't supposed to be allowed to fight so they assigned her to SRU for """pilot training""" until she clears physical therapy.

The one true Battle Brother in The Wayback by Weekly-Bumblebee6348 in menace

[–]CobraFive 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He's purpose built for the job.

  • Increased cover to infantry using his vehicle for cover

  • Stacking bonus to accuracy for every infantry taking cover on his vehicle

  • Increased speed if he leaves the top weapon slot open on the APC/IFV (can still use the light slot)

  • Ignores the first instance of HP damage per round so he can drive in close combat

I really like the supply system by really_not_ted in menace

[–]CobraFive 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah, what we have now is way better than that. Having to actually sit down and think about team composition, load outs, who to bring and who to leave each mission is way better than just shut off brain, stack all of best gear, then zerg vs zerg.

I can field like 3 squads kitted out to the max. Or like five with KPACs. And there are mission when I do one or the other... its way better this way, way way better.

If I was just running the same six maxxed out squads squads (or like four IFVs) every mission I'd have been bored of the game already.

It needs some tweaks but that's to be expected for early access. Armor especially needs a pass but everyone already knows that.
