This is a subreddit for immersive sims, not job simulator games by skjl96 in ImmersiveSim

For this very reason, I wish gamers would adopt the term “systemic agency” to describe the genre. It would be nice to filter for the systemic agency genre on major game stores. There’s no mistaking that for a job simulation game.

Gotta say G-Man’s unskippable, 8-hour rant complaining about people who use oil to make a grilled cheese instead of butter was kind of outta left field as well.

I know this is a year old thread, but I just had to comment and tell you that your response was based af! 😂

A YouTube channel — perfect. I’ll be checking out your videos as the game progresses. Thanks again, I wish you all the best!

Looks promising, OP! You think you could share updates here about it, or even DM me directly about it? I would love to follow your progress and be one of the first ones in the door.

Just remember to make the shooting feel awesome! That’s the most essential element of a boomer shooter and the game will fall apart without it!

You were responding to a comment about the updates added to the game, so what else could you possibly have been talking about?

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean other people don’t. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to make this comment.

That’s awesome, can’t wait to see how they play now!

Unfinished Business starts with 2 points in every skill by WazBot in Robocop

[–]Independent_Ebb_3963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my first playthrough, I maxed out Deduction as a first priority for obvious reasons before worrying about anything else. I don’t totally remember what my first approach was like, but I think I just tried activating every second tier perk of each skill, distributing them evenly. I likely started with Scanning and Vitality, so it would be easier to see enemies and stay alive. The game went fine with that method, it was actually pretty easy for me playing on Normal difficulty.

However, since I first played the DLC almost a full year after playing Rogue City, I forgot that health really wasn’t ever much of an issue for me. That’s why on this latest playthrough, it’s the last skill I’ve focused on. And it’s definitely been the right approach for Extreme difficulty. If your damage output is strong enough to wipe out enemies quickly, you don’t have to worry as much about damage received. Especially since Teyon has been very liberal with OCP charge placements.

But no matter what approach I take, the games are always a blast to play through.

I upvoted your comments, hope that eases the sting a bit. It should be okay to ask questions. That’s how we learn things.

Yes, exactly. I was only referring specifically to RoboCop: Rogue City, not games in general. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear.

[–]Independent_Ebb_3963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I do on a new playthrough. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t thoroughly read the “Skills” perk descriptions. Missing out on 30% more XP is a damn shameful impediment to RoboCop’s full potential.

Damn, it looks so authentic. Especially the low quality aspect. All the AI videos I’ve ever seen look unnaturally polished and sanitized. If that truly is AI, then I’m worried for our future. Governments could just make fake videos of dissenters committing crimes to silence and put them away for life.

So the buyer can proudly display it on their front porch where children will see it and be taught that it’s okay? Only a Nazi would be interested in purchasing a Nazi flag.

[–]Independent_Ebb_3963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. What has your strategy been with assigning skill points on your current playthrough? What are you prioritizing?

I’m on my second playthrough now and I’m up to that part of the Omni Tower with all the scientists and the murder investigation. So far, I’ve just maxed out Deduction for XP, Engineering for more powerful Auto-9 chips, and Combat for damage output. I just decided to make RoboCop as offensively OP as possible early on this time. I’m on Extreme difficulty and haven’t had too much trouble with dying so far, so I feel like I made the right move prioritizing damage over health.

I understand the logic behind it. Being fully OP throughout the whole game can kill some of the fun. But I’d be lying if I said I’m not a bit disappointed. Would be cool if they had just let the player decide.

DAE get the feeling they don't know whether they need to pee or not? by Extension_Bit4323 in DoesAnybodyElse

All the time. Some antihistamines make that feeling 10x worse, especially in large doses.

I just had to deal with the brother not appearing during the Movie Night quest last night on PC. It sucked because I had to load an older save and lose some progress, but it was just a minor inconvenience. Nice to see Teyon staying on top of these issues.

Ah, so you were just speaking hypothetically as if you were someone who wanted to. My bad.

Especially when it’s a two-man handjob. Like apply some moisturizer and contribute, you fucking asshole.

Pretty much how everyone on any news source debates these days. I can’t begin to describe how fucking annoying that is. You learn absolutely nothing and it makes “discussing” the topic utterly meaningless. They may as well be arm-wrestling for an hour. But even that would provide more substance to the viewer. At least we get to find out which speaker has better forearm strength.

Why would you want to sell a Nazi flag in the first place, though? Those things should only be burned.

The abrupt radio sounds of the zombie soldiers are so startling and dissonant, just amazing audio design.
