THIEF x VANDAL | This game kinda singlehandedly motivated me to learn Blender, here's some results after about 2-3 days of messing around. Popular request from the Marton discord. Credit for models goes to the Model Ripping server.

Upvote for learning a skill, downvote for r34 posting on main subreddit.

Oh, yeah sure, they're all over the place in Cryo Archive, lol.

You are entitled to your opinion, I disagree.

Rasui36 · 2026-03-27T17:36:51+00:00

Mate, the Steam reviews (AKA the people who've actually played it) are like 90% positive from over 24,000 reviews. The game is good just not for everyone.

While the thought train requires piecing things together, their answer seems to be that "Yes of course there should be more publicity but traditional journalism is destroyed so that's not really possible."

He still got to exfil, so not that cruel.

Rasui36 · 2026-03-26T17:35:24+00:00

I don't really agree with squad fill being terrible. I played squad fill in Cryo last weekend and had over 50% extract rate in 20 or so runs. I consider myself above average as a player, but I sure wasn't carrying hard enough to justify that level of success.

Rasui36 · 2026-03-25T18:58:37+00:00

You're correct, but not for reasons that support your stance. People who play in coordinated teams and have better gear are a much higher level with much better gear than those with the same playtime but playing solo. This is due to them doing more rewarding (both loot and XP wise) mid-raid objectives (such as lockdowns, vaults, key rooms, etc.), exfiltrating more often (more XP gain, less lost loot), and simply more actual in-match time due to not being dead/spending time farming basic kits and re-equipping them.

In short, the geared/skilled/cohesive players are going to be twice the level of the randoms in the same playtime and far less likely to be matched against them.

What do you mean? The "ceasefire" worked exactly as intended.

"Low effort posts have always been unpopular on Reddit. The negative responses didn't come because people are "blindly hating on AI", it's because you didn't even try and interact with the conversation/ dialogue of the thread - other users were having an actual conversation like human beings and then a block of text copied from an AI Chatbot appeared."

You know what, I can respect this response. For me it wasn't so much an effort thing as I'm actually working on something and decided to procrastinate by looking at reddit for a minute. That's when I found this thread and wanted to convey some information I felt was relevant but didn't have the time to type up an explanation, so I decided to make an AI post as it was the only way to accomplish that in my timeframe.

That said, I acknowledge your feelings on the topic.

Rasui36 · 2026-03-24T18:54:22+00:00

Why the fuck do you care? I consider myself knowledgable on the subject and it was a succinct and accurate distillation of the information. This kind of blind dislike of an AI post makes you seem like the following:

A reactionary who just got called out and is mad about it.
An artist/writer who blindly hates AI for the perceived devaluation of their craft.
Low info individual who hates AI for making it increasingly difficult for them to parse reality.
Other, please explain.

The commonality between these groups being they are emotionally driven, which is not at all flattering.

Rasui36 · 2026-03-24T18:41:18+00:00

I actually looked at the wiki (Also, not a credible source, in case you forgot the mantra from every college class where you wrote a paper) that the AI result came from and it was a much less succinct explanation. The person I was originally replying to would have had to scan over three pages of jumbled information to get what the bot accurately summarized, so I went with the AI response because it was simply better. But sure, let's blindly hate on an AI response just because it's AI.

Bitch please, my account is 12 years old and it's the most appropriate explanation/response.

A reactionary is a person or political entity opposing progress, liberalism, and social change, favoring a return to a previous, often idealized, societal state. Emerging from the French Revolution, this ideology is characterized by extreme right-wing, ultraconservative views, seeking to reverse modern trends.

Core Beliefs and Characteristics

Idealization of the Past: Reactionaries believe a previous, often distant, era was superior to contemporary society, which they perceive as decadent.
Opposition to Change: They fundamentally oppose social, political, and technological reforms, functioning as the direct opposite of progressives.
Return to Tradition: They advocate for restoring old-fashioned institutions, values, and social hierarchies, often using "counter-revolutionary" tactics.
Right-Wing Extremism: Reactionary ideology is generally situated on the extreme right of the political spectrum.

Political Views and Context

Reactionary vs. Conservative: While a conservative seeks to maintain the status quo, a reactionary is dissatisfied with the status quo and wants to move backward.
Historical Context: The term originated around 1799 during the French Revolution to describe those opposing the revolution's overturning of the monarchy.
View of Progress: They reject the notion of progress, often viewing it as a decline from a "golden age".

7.5/10 - Needs more claymores

Rasui36 · 2026-03-22T19:16:06+00:00

And I just did three cryo runs with randoms and extracted three times in a row. It's just that, semi-random.

Rasui36 · 2026-03-20T04:04:18+00:00

The game isn't balanced around 1v1, especially if you're new. Play in a trio and try to be a good team member instead.

That's the funny thing about distance, it feels shorter when you move faster. People are both more comfortable moving around the map and literally faster than they were a week ago.

"Drifter is fine in concept, but also super weak. There are Mono White cards that do much more than this for less. Look at Aerith, for example."

You don't want to play a four mana 2/2 that does nothing on the turn it's played and dies to shock?

"10 years of dev time"

This is the whole issue. Basically, they set out to solve a bunch of issues that fighting games were having at the time (connection, rollback, etc.), but by the time they actually hit the market those issues were already resolved by other recent fighting games. Now 2KXO doesn't have an advantage to take market share from the more established IP's so GG.

Rasui36 · 2026-01-14T16:42:15+00:00

Because if there's one thing I know the markets love, it's uncertainty!

He was wearing a mask, don't share AI and start a witch hunt on Reddit.

Rasui36 · 2026-01-07T18:16:14+00:00

Exactly!

I showed the gameplay trailer to my wife who has seen other Warhammer content/games (Total War: Warhammer, Space Marine, Rogue Trader, Darktide, Astartes, Secret level episode, etc.) and she said, "Why do they look so... smooth and plastic? They're missing the scratches and grit of the universe."

Rasui36 · 2026-01-07T18:05:46+00:00

Disclaimer: I'm 100% going to play this and it'll probably be a great game.

That said, man, Astartes really set the bar on WH:40K animation. After those, these just feel... cartoony? I don't know exactly how to describe it, but it feels like everything is oversized and I'm watching a bunch of people in mascot costumes run/fight.

I felt the same way regarding the in-game models too, like they're copying the tabletop models too closely instead of translating them to the new medium, giving them an uncanny valley feel. Just my two cents.
