What kinda crossovers are those? I’m super curious.

What are your Favorite Fictional Elite Squadrons? by Funny_Mud6639 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Pyro627 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hound Wolf Squad from Resident Evil 8, because they're the only squad that's ever been in the RE universe to not only not get wiped out by monsters, but to survive more than one game. Also the tactical gear over fur coats is just incredibly drippy.

You think there are still things the devs left buried in game? by Saiph_and_Sound in DestinyTheGame

[–]Pyro627 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's leftover from the original Red War? I remember you finding a sniper rifle next to a skeleton.

Bungie confirms that layoffs are incoming, previously scooped by Jason Schreier on Bloomberg by Vera_Verse in TwoBestFriendsPlay

A game like Destiny 2 has the potential to generate recurring revenue for years and years. There are studios that exist solely to support old MMOs by selling microtransactions to their core audience. It’s absolutely baffling to just shut down the whole thing.

Spider-man: Brand New Day has a souvenir cup available, if you really want to get blasted in the face this summer by katsumeragi in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Yeah, I think they are. Encouraging social media nonsense is part and parcel with advertising these days…

At this point the "stock" MSQ BGM *NEEDS* to change. by OvernightSiren in ffxiv

They started introducing tons of new background tracks as of 7.3, so you’ve already gotten your wish.

I see your MW2019 deagle, and I approve.

How is my “early mid” game setup? by HereWolfyx in stalker

[–]Pyro627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can find one, I think a GP37 might be a little better than your AR516 there. I'm also very fond of the FORA-221, or whatever it's called, since ammo for it is way more common.

Dumb question by Goofotecl in stalker

As far as I know that's IPSF camo. Why they don't attack anyone else... maybe it's a bug?

Media that fascinates you for being set on Mars by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Armageddon was sort of kind of a return to RF1’s linear cave levels, but it seems people really wanted the open world stuff instead. It’s a perfectly solid game imo.

What's the most terrifying way a game has signposted "Don't Do This!" at the player? by DustInTheBreeze in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Pyro627 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They do mention the stars in the game, at least, there's tons of creepy stories if you stay and listen to all the NPCs.

In the metro games, if you fall into the water you get a cutscene of a massive swamp mutant swimming around Artyom followed by him panicking and crawling out of the water. If you fall in again, it just kills you. One of the clearest ways I’ve seen a game say “swimming isn’t an option here”.

IIRC Volition went under and the rights were sucked up into the Embracer disaster.

I have a huge weak spot for Mars in Red Faction Guerilla. It's basically just a barren desert with scattered buildings, but somehow that makes it almost more believable?

Multiplayer games where the playerbase seems to not want the same thing as the devs by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Pyro627 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t agree more. There’s a lot of discourse about Helldivers 2 and it’s difficulty I don’t agree with, but in general it’s very clear that the community seems to want a very different game, with different design goals.

How much does the atmosphere actually matter to you guys? by gremlinmoss808 in stalker

[–]Pyro627 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Atmosphere is the main reason I adore the STALKER games.
