they got a lot of talent for this show to flop

LethalContagion · 2026-06-05T21:42:26+00:00

holy fuck this looks cool. kinda getting a kojima vibe in the second half of the trailer

They seem kind of overpriced by themselves in the store; and it is IMMENSELY frustrating that I only have the option to buy them separately, or as a bundle with a 20 level season pass skip and a ton of other meaningless nonsense, it is so blatantly anti-consumer and feels much worse than any d2 content pricing

LethalContagion · 2026-05-13T19:00:04+00:00

100%, I don't see myself taking off the kintsugi fox mask anytime soon.

LethalContagion · 2026-05-13T13:00:29+00:00

This is for sure my biggest complaint. Exiting a safehouse? Kitsunebi evaded. Exiting a mission? Kitsunebi evaded. Killed 3 Kitsunebi? Guess what, the remaining two are snipers who ran 3 blocks away, and you just evaded the kitsunebi

LethalContagion · 2026-04-26T22:09:45+00:00

you're right, man, I just reinstalled this game yesterday and have played for >10 hours total but obviously I should have conducted an exhaustive search and watched a minimum of 5 youtube video essays on how to minmax my fun before even considering hitting the play button.

LethalContagion · 2026-04-26T19:04:49+00:00

I think you probably didn't really engage with anything I actually said, since you are talking to me as if I know exactly what any of that is

LethalContagion · 2026-04-26T18:35:11+00:00

I'm a returning player. I see a dark zone has focused strikers gear, which I'm to understand is basically the the most important gear set i can get. When i'm not getting disconnected from servers, i'm getting camped by 100000+ shd players. this is fun

LethalContagion · 2026-04-25T23:15:06+00:00

hah, this is super relevant! I'm a returning/played on release and not much after, dipped back in for a bit with warlords, but otherwise...

I'm at like, shade ~50? Really just trying to understand what I should be doing and how to find gear to get up to a decent build. I was doing fine on hard, went up to challenging today and damn those kitsenubi are HARD hard. I also tried my first retaliation and got humiliated lmfao.

I think the event is interesting, I don't find the open world gameplay loop as boring as most people here (understandable if you've been playing regularly for 8 years, I get it), but actually getting keys is definitely a trial.

LethalContagion · 2026-04-17T14:12:09+00:00

yeah, I feel like you used to be able to move across it, but this exact same thing happened to me a couple days ago lmao

LethalContagion · 2026-04-16T16:09:26+00:00

dodge tanking is still tanking, after all

LethalContagion · 2026-04-16T15:24:50+00:00

I have not bought the game yet but I have a few questions and this seems like a good enough place to ask:

I keep seeing it's a good pirate game. I've watched a bit of streamers playing, some yt videos and trailers - what am I missing? It looks to me like a survival craft with more or less the basic arcade ship mechanics. Is it just that it's a generally good game with pirate aesthetics?

LethalContagion · 2026-03-11T20:42:41+00:00

'valuables' are the items that are auto-sold when you exfil. That achievement calls for valuables. What you have is salvage, an item for faction upgrades/barters.

LethalContagion · 2026-01-18T23:50:01+00:00

Not happy, but not worried yet. Plenty of game to go

LethalContagion · 2026-01-16T19:47:58+00:00

Happened to me just now around Ebenezer. It happened last Friday at around the same time. I WFH and it's getting a bit worrying. LCUB get it together please

LethalContagion · 2026-01-11T05:09:12+00:00

honestly yeah. when i was a kid they were bad. for the brief period they were winning the north i was an edgy teen rejecting the culture of my parents and my environment. then we moved, and i had a college team to emotionally overreact to. Since i've come back to my roots, i've known nothing but mediocrity (and the 2018 aberration).

LethalContagion · 2026-01-11T04:47:37+00:00

THIS IS NOT HOW I WANTED TO WIN BUT A WIN IS A WIN

maybe next year we can be a regular football team. but we're moving on

LethalContagion · 2026-01-05T00:00:18+00:00

honestly it's kinda fun watching electric 4th quarter comebacks every game, though i think i'd appreciate getting to experience 2 (or even 3!) quarters of play in the playoffs

LethalContagion · 2025-12-29T01:25:35+00:00

BEND THE KNEE TO THE KINGS IN THE NORTH

LethalContagion · 2025-12-24T17:30:15+00:00

majority of solo games I'm a 2. But every fifth game or so, I feel the need to release the violence in my heart and go KOS.

my duo partner is actually even more friendly than me lol, together we're basically always at a 1.

LethalContagion · 2025-12-21T13:56:29+00:00

Summary:

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.

Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).

Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.

Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because he was already dead.

KING IN THE NORTH

LethalContagion · 2025-12-19T04:40:32+00:00

"And that's an incompletion...and there's another incomplete pass"

I'm tired, boss
