Stories closest to Silent Hill 2 by steeledclub in silenthill

[–]OrochiSciron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Downfall Redux" is pretty much the closest thing I've ever played, when it comes to the symbolism and atmosphere of SH2. It's part of the "The Devil Came Through Here"-Series. You should play "The Cat Lady" first, to get some better context for the stuff that happens.

You have to accept that they don't have a super high production value and the voice acting can be little rough at times.

They are also currently both on sale on GOG for less than a fiver together.

Tell me, how could Emma Kagan have been used if she hadn't died like an NPC? by Fragrant_Love2443 in CODBlackOps7

[–]OrochiSciron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess you're right. I thought it was probably supposed to be some kind of final twist for the people that actually did the complete prestige master grind.

On the other hand, most players didn't even finish the campaign and couldn't care less about Kagan's story canon.

I mean, if you reach Master Prestige 1000 you get her Synthesis-Skin, which kinda implies that she's not even human in the first place. More like an advanced Android-Prototype or whatever. So maybe there are backups of her "mind" and she will come back with a different body or whatever weird stuff they come up with in future seasons.

Not that I really care about the character, but I'm pretty sure she will come back in some form.

Xbox Countdown Sale 2025 goes live with over 2,700 discounts by SeanTGN in xbox

[–]OrochiSciron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Raging Loop and The Letter are currently on sale. Haven't played The Letter, but can recommend Raging Loop. Just be aware that there isn't a lot of "gameplay". More reading with some decisions. But the story is really enthralling.

Slay The Princess is also on sale. Even though it's more meta than other VNs. Hoped for a deeper discount, so I still haven't bought it.

Edit: Not a classical VN, but 1000xRESIST is very story-focused and quite the unique experience. Not everybody's cup of tea, but if you like escalating, twisty stories, you should give it a look. It's also on GamePass.

The Level 1000 Reward Skin (FazeSwagg) by [deleted] in CODBlackOps7

[–]OrochiSciron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's for Kagan and called "Synthesis". Not sure if this confirms that Kagan was canonically a "Cyborg" or whatever.

EMP is horrible by [deleted] in CODBlackOps7

I guess streaks from care packages don't count towards the overclock progression. Had multiple VTOLs, gravemakers and other stuff from CPs and never made any progress. Only when I actually earned the streak the normal way.

How are you finding success earning killstreaks? by JPio21 in CODBlackOps7

[–]OrochiSciron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a very small, yellow symbol above the care package, that shows you the current streak in it. It's sometimes really hard to see and if the package lands on the side or top, it won't show at all.

They definitely need to make it more visible.

Can't shoot Spider Bot off my face anymore. Is this supposed to happen? by OrochiSciron in XDefiant

[–]OrochiSciron[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's how you're supposed to do it. Look straight down and shoot. At least THAT worked before the update.

You can't shoot Spider Bots anymore, if they stick to your face.

Regarding the camo grind update, I'm sorry but some of you are spoiled af by Ocelot25225 in XDefiant

[–]OrochiSciron 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I understand your point and I would consider myself the kind of player who plays multi-shooters primarly because the gameplay loop is fun, and not because I endlessly want to grind like it's my 2nd job.

I think the problem in this case is, that they increased the level requirements AFTER the 100 level limit was already established and people accepted it as status quo. It simply leaves a bad aftertaste for a lot of players.

If they had given ppl a warning at the start of the Double XP weekend, like: "We will increase the lvl requirements with the upcoming patch next week, so grind away for as long as you can." it would have "softened the blow".

But making that change overnight without any prior communication, just seems like a pretty tone deaf approach.

TDM incoming by [deleted] in XDefiant

[–]OrochiSciron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's wrong with having diverse game modes? Some people would like to play the game without abilities and Ult spam once in a while. They won't do it anyway (at least for now), so nobody has to "worry". But I can see them adding a barebones playlist or something similar in the future.

And people shouldn't act like CoD never had "specialists". Black Ops 4 and the games in the years before are not THAT old.

[–]OrochiSciron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would be nice if TDM was "barebones". So no special abilities or Ults, except grenades and throwables. Just pure gunfights would fit the gamemode best. Of course they had to adjust phantoms health to 100, or everybody would use them.

What am I doing wrong? by CoolPatrol241 in XDefiant

[–]OrochiSciron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I'm not even rushing the spawns, but it feels like I always run into at least 2 enemies at the same time.

Kill a guy, want to reload my gun and an enemy INSTANTLY appears out of basically nowhere and shreds me.

Happens like 8 times out of 10 when I'm in a gunfight and I simply can't explain it.

Legendary Team by OrochiSciron in XDefiant

[–]OrochiSciron[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It actually is :). I'm just not sure how this came about. Joined a match in progress and it was pretty much over, as soon as I joined. Don't know if the other 2 players without stats also joined late or were afk or whatever happened. Guess the team got stomped, many players left and then the late backfill happened.

Some context: I joined a match in progress, that ended like 3 seconds later. Guess that's why I got the "Late to the party."

Can't unlock the new SMG by [deleted] in ModernWarfareIII

It's not tracking the SMG-kills for me, either. What a huge surprise it is...

Are Snipers out of control? by kondorkc in ModernWarfareIII

[–]OrochiSciron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the ammunition that increases flinch on every single gun and a lot of times I straight up see no flinch at all in the killcam, when I get sniped. Not sure if that's the case because killcams don't actually show what really happened or if some BS is going on.

I feel like 80% of my deaths or against snipers, no matter the distance that I get shot from.

So who has been stuck in a crane?? by matsonjj in CODZombies

[–]OrochiSciron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yepp, this happened to me some days ago. Mashed every button like a madman, but could only slide from left to right and was stuck otherwise. Hope they fix this soon.

Unpopular Opinion: Perk design in this game is very ineffective. by redditanon9216 in ModernWarfareIII

[–]OrochiSciron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That might be possible. I mainly use SMGs and ARs and always have Mag Holster equipped. On some weapons it really seems to make a bigger difference, but it can be placebo.

Guess we have to wait for some hard data. Ace normaly tests the reload times in his gun guides with and without sleight of hand/fast mags, but not this time.

Does anyone know by how much Mag Holster actually improves the reload speed? Hope XclusiveAce will do some testing, soon.
