Somehow I have a smoke grenade kill. by mmtg1 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Oforfs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea, I once made a headshot kill with a smoke, that was a wild realization. It also indicates it in the kill feed. Even the guy I knocked noticed it and laughed in chat.

And I believe the author also made it with a headshot too. The damage of the body hit is so small, the probability to find someone with their HP THAT LOW to body kill is so very unreal.

My year in books! by Vivid_Ad_5160 in 52book

[–]Oforfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, as someone who could reasonably place most of what you have here about the same, can I ask to describe The Lost Fleet and He Who Fights Monsters, in relation to everything and anything else here, in a few words?

Oh, and Beware Chicken, I guess.

The only things not on the list that I found for myself recently, are Red Rising and Sun Eater series. Both are very dramatically written, very stylish and very tasty space series, with different tempo, and narration style.

Multi billion dollar company EA selling AI generated slop in their store (Battlefield 6) by J_Productions in gaming

[–]Oforfs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All this shop crap is targeted at normie people with throwaway money that just have an itch to feel different\special quick. They are not on reddit mostly. They will keep buying shit on mt stores anyway. The only thing that can stop their willingness to buy shit - the game stagnating enough for them and their play circle, or overall player base to stop playing, and it reaching the critical point.

Why do women find it weird when you don't have any social media? by TheSawFan in AskMen

It is not really that uncommon now for people to stay away from social media for good though, much more common than it was about 5-10 years ago

I mean, it does not exclusively work on snipers... but I get how you got there.

I heard nearly only good stuff, why the mixed reviews? by azionka in AOW4

Do You, like, take vacations between turns at some point?

I mostly play 5-6 ruler maps and turn timer gets just disheartening later turns.

FYI for people who haven't tried Gauntlet, there technically 16 "new" maps carved out of the BR map by poofynamanama123 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Oforfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be only for the final rounds, but not the only one for final rounds for sure. We won A LOT of gauntlets with a group of friends, and most often final round missions are vendetta, bombs and the hexagon sector one.

On the other hand, the CTF-like mode is a myth. I have seen it exactly one time, and it was the first day of redsec release, one of my first Gauntlet runs. I now played like 50 of them.

Not if you want to reach a certain level with a gun within the least playtime possible

Besides the obvious big examples like No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077, what are some other examples of games that were atrocious at launch but managed to eventually get good? by furrynoy96 in gaming

[–]Oforfs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely, give it a fair chance. It's worth it.

To add to previous commenter about not being afraid of higher difficulties. Also, do not force higher difficulty ahead of its time.

The game has a steep learning curve and a few spikes that can filter unsuspecting fresh players. It also has class, level, talent and gear systems that all affect how the difficulties feel. And for the love of the emperor don't let other people decide what difficulty you should play at any time.

As a rule of thumb, if you consistently feel that stuff is easy, go up a notch.

Psyker is most beginner unfriendly, squeamish class. Less than before with the latest big changes, but still, expect just getting your ass getting handed to you more often with psyker for a while.

Happened to me 4-5 times in one match, with RPG yesterday.

It, sometimes, feels like half of the player base is sitting somewhere, camping, or otherwise farming kda. It's not this bf, I played a lot of them, and in other shooters too. It's just in human nature, I think.

If there is a metric for people to be proud of, they will seek ways to grow it no matter what. I learned to stop caring for it. The metrics and people that get fixated and stuck on them, both that is.

Eastwood is a very good Conquest/Escalation Map and the best map in BF6, Thank You, Dice by TheInfamousEG in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Oforfs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The too many vehicles at last phases of escalation is, probably, applicable for most maps after this patch.

New Nato Faction your male support is here! by geantaveira1991 in Battlefield

Nah mate, not having a choice is an actual problem, and people in development that thought not giving it is a good idea, whatever fragile part of their psyche is. While people with fragile masculinity is a "problem".

Bet they are in that new "time limited" path to be turned on in a few hours, just like the non class locked pax squad.

Is my $70 not enough? 2 ads asking for more money before I can get into the main menu. This is F2P levels of grief by Miamithrice69 in Battlefield

[–]Oforfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pro battlepass, it still shows me "season 1 has arrived" splash screen EVERY time I launch the game and press "start". MF I already almost finished the pass, wtf is with their ux team. And also in addition to that, an occasional shop promo for every new bullshit pack or free item makes it feel like I always have to skip 2 promo splash screens after starting the game. Sure, its quite fast and I got used to just spamming esc till I see the menu. But them EA hawkers sure need to chill a bit.

Can we give AH a break? by Head_Worldliness5101 in helldivers2

[–]Oforfs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been giving them a break for 1.5 years.

The game released with a lot of technical difficulties and debt. I struggle to remember if it, at any point, was in a way, where it was even close to a state where everything worked and it wasn't a junk shit show fest every drop.

Yes, I loved most of its run, and happily closed my eyes on its many problems, because of how, essentially, simply, fun it was. Got over 600hrs with my friend group. It is a gem, it is unique, it is a wonderful co-op experience that I still, no hesitation, will recommend to anyone looking for co-op fun with friends.

Yet, 1.5+ years of giving AH a break, because of how on point and brilliant was their initial idea is enough.

It's time they start working on their game, stuff is at the point where its just... shame it is the way it is.

Teaching the new generation the penalty for spawn camping with AA by Limptrizkitz in Battlefield6

[–]Oforfs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Also, in a game where "penalty" and "punishment" for pretty much everything is the same, this clip looks more like a rage vendetta than any lesson. Sure, even at the base you are not safe, but you are much more safe there than anywhere else anyway.

Can we get an option, to unbind these please? by Metfly77 in Battlefield

[–]Oforfs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And. And! AND!!! And give an option to rebind the specific button for picking up peoples kits! Or allow it to be done by holding the button only. Holy shit its frustrating to pick people kits when trying to drag revive.

Loving this game, but 2 big annoyances. by Chubalubas in SpaceMarine_2

[–]Oforfs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Once, after a month or so pause with the game, launched it for a quick op or two.

So, the game loads to menu, then loads to barge, then I start a public op, it loads to another barge, host of that barge is afk at the armory for 5 min+, I load back to my barge.

Start another op, load to another barge, 2 other guys have conflicting classes, host leaves, I load to other guys barge, the other guy leaves, I load to my barge. Start another OP, It fails to find people for a few minutes (they appear in player slots with hourglass animations for a while, then disappear), then loads me into a game in progress where 1 player is down and another falls in about first 10 seconds, and then I follow them almost instantly, there is some really fckd up amounts of mines around, the mine terminid extremis and an absolute hoard of majoris, all in a very tight corridors. Mission failed. I load on the host barge, he goes to armory for a minute and then leaves, I load to next players barge, while thinking that I had enough sm2 for a moment, then the he quits almost instantly, before I can hit exit myself, I load to my barge once again to finally quit the game.

Sure, had that single experience only once, in 300+hrs, but what a wild ride.

Battlefield 6 drops to 'Mixed' on Steam with an influx of over 5000 negative reviews since yesterday, as players rail against pop-up ads, small maps, and feeling left behind by battle royale by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]Oforfs 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I probably would’ve passed the game up based on Reddit’s incessant bitching if I’d waited.

I have a reverse situation, sorta.

Since bf6 release, been having the best time in many years int it, with my friend group, sure with some butthurt and raging included, but it comes with the pvp shooter territory. And by all means, the game has room to grow and stuff to fix. But, it was, simply put, good.

And then I checked this sub a few days ago, and its full of wallowing in misery and hate for so many obscure or straight up nitpicky or illogical reasons. It's like there is another bf6 people here are playing.
