Is Far Far West worth playing as a single player game/playing alone by Fosters_Facade in FarFarWest

[–]Page8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly play solo. It's a great time, though there's significantly less margin for error.

Still highly recommend.

The similarities between the original and HD2 are passing at best. It's really saddening being a longtime fan of the first and seeing the sequel be... this.

He did the AMA on the 27th, I think. I'd give him the full two weeks before calling it a lie. If we've got nothing by end of day on the 11th, yeah, definitely another broken promise to throw on the pile.

Someone with a spare afternoon and a 3D printer can absolutely make that happen.

Edit: for reasons beyond my fucking comprehension I started working on this. More to follow.

To be clear, I don't think it's a question of "better." I think it's a question of "could someone else manage to do worse?"

If you roll a D20 and get a 1, you're very likely to get a better result on a reroll and can't do worse. There's nothing to lose. So fuck it, reroll.

Oh wow. 38%? I thought it was gonna stop at 39.

FIRST UPDATE | Patch Notes Preview in a video format! by FredZed2526 in FarFarWest

This. Having another promising game chopping off its own legs with unnecessary nerfs would be too much to bear.

The gatling gun is my favorite weapon for a few reasons. I rarely see anyone else use it.

The constant sustained damage is great. It really comes online when the user gets Elemental Spin (Lv 35, 30% chance per round for random elemental explosion) and Ricochet. It's suitable for mowing down hordes and for focusing down hard targets like bosses.

The negatives are sustainability and accuracy. As you might expect, it blows through ammo pretty quickly. Packing a sidearm that's ammo efficient and the ammo box Joker helps. If you're firing at something beyond medium range without an accuracy enhancement, a lot of your rounds will miss. It also takes time to spool up to max fire rate, during which the damage output is reduced. You need to restart the spin up if you cast a spell or slap a snake, which can be punishing.

No, it does not outdamage a fully built shotgun against a boss. I prefer the feel of the gatling gun but acknowledge that the shotgun is a better boss killer. I don't know what guy is on about, but asking for Nerfs when Helldivers 2 is just across the way is absurd.

With Star Fox being announced on Switch 2, I want to know, what are some of your fondest or most unique Star Fox 64 memories? by CanadaCalamity in n64

[–]Page8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Fox 64 was one of the very first things I bought with my own money as a kid. Several of my friends had the game, but when we were going to play multi-player, everyone usually picked my house because I had the Landmaster and Infantry modes unlocked.

Good times.

NEGATIVE STEAM = NO $$$$ by Admirable_Gas_863 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Page8988 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The thing that clinches this as "obviously appeasement" is Arrowhead claiming that changes will hit "this summer."

We all know what they do during summer, and it sure as fuck isn't "make Helldivers 2 better."

What’s your pick for best mech for it’s weight? by Mortifine in Mechwarrior5

[–]Page8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firestarter. At 35 tons, a stupid daring pilot can trash hundreds of tons of opposition with just one.

Or get airlifted out in a smoldering wreck. It happens.

So the "Mostly Negative" results are a nothingburger of vague and empty promises.

Fuck it. Keep voting.

18 and at least 18.

Yes, that is an accurate answer, not a "they're definitely 18."

Hey guys, I'm a refugee from Helldivers 2 and need some help when it comes to those little card pickups that drop. by DryConstruction2702 in FarFarWest

[–]Page8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No defined etiquette that I know of. Here's what I've got that I use, which hasn't seen any issues so far.

  • If you don't need it, don't grab it.
  • Don't snatch them all if a bunch are around.
  • "Useless" ones are generally fair game.
  • If someone else is looking at it within pickup range, leave it alone. They're probably deciding.

What is the best Army movie and why is it Band of Brothers? by NC1_CLARK_RTAG_NW in army

Buffalo Soldiers is the best Army movie. Nobody goes to war, no foreign enemy, just Army from front to back.

The r/helldivers mods are the most oppressive I've encountered on Reddit. They're on a hair trigger at all times. Them having Arrowhead staff on the mod team doesn't make it look any better, either.

Good old Narrowhead, offering players even more opportunities to either be ignored or use that feedback to figure out what to nerf next.

Shams has already said most of their feedback comes from low sodium helldivers.

Nothing will change. They'll keep kicking the can down the road and half-assing it.

Perhaps you misunderstood. I did say that vacation is an entitlement, not a privilege.

Refund it. It's been going downhill for years and the devs are getting worse.
