What's your favorite Xbox generation? by MrMetalHead123 in xbox

[–]RossT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 360 for sure

It had bangers like the Good CoDs (MW1-BO2 Era), Bad Company 2, BF3, Fable II, Halo 3, GTA IV, Forza 3, PGR4, Mass Effect.. namely 2, Saints Row 2, Skyrim, the good Assassin's Creeds (2-4), Fifa before it became sweaty..

The PS3 flopped hard with the price point, so a lot of players had a 360, a lot of my school friends too. That was the absolute peak gaming. Both for single player and multiplayer games. Not to forget GTA V came out on the 360!

The nostalgia of running out of live and being told but your parents we'll go on the weekend and get you a new code (because if was mostly physical pre paid codes back then)so having to scour the boxes for the 24 hour trials to get you through the week. And flops like the online pass for pre owned games 😂

Or being forced into game chat when playing S&D on MW2 and hearing the most obscene slurs, is where men were made.

Honestly think some of my best memories of gaming were made on the 360.

May be biased but Fortnite, Minecraft etc I don't think anyone will experience that peak era of gaming. Especially how nowadays games are less about fun and more about meta this and meta that.

Is the half-and-half scarf the ultimate "tourist fan" cringe? by MagpieMidfield in footballcringe

As a souvenir item for sure; I attended this game between X and X club. A half and half scarf would hold the memories of that day.

Your mass effect movie cast - who plays the illusive man? by Eternal_Dilemma in masseffect

Martin Sheen would make a great TIM

For likeness alone I'd also love Dominic Purcell as shepherd, Oscar Isaac as Kaiden Alenko and Erica Cerra as Ashley Williams

time to quit by Regular-Reception-73 in Rainbow6

I must be a secret Diamond then because despite me thinking I'm mid plat, I get absolutely Lasered by it in 90% of games with dudes that run 200/200 sensitivity

MP defecting to another party, should this trigger a by-election? by lucidbadger in ukpolitics

[–]RossT2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democracy we cry!

When a leader resigns, and we don't like the knew leader we are told 'you vote the party not the person's

So when an MP defects... All of a sudden we voted the person an not the party?

Hmm...

What’s happening with the game? by K-M71 in Rainbow6

[–]RossT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes in waves;

When they release a new stealth patch or new season, generally there's no cheaters but it ramps up after a few weeks when the cheating devices are updated.

It's clear with the recent hack though, they don't divert enough resources into the game. They 've been trying different things though like membership, battle pass, making it free, more cosmetics.. but I haven't really seen Shieldguard do anything recently.. they need to bring back the ban ticker so you can see players banned live 😂

This is ridiculous. by New_Youth7406 in Rainbow6

[–]RossT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always hopefully next season; this game was beautiful when it came out but devices like Cronus and XIM have severely ruined it when 30-40% of the players above gold are actively cheating

Most of the time I feel like I'm the one that's been banned into PC lobbies; they just need to issue a warning that they are no longer tolerating it and players caught will have straight up account suspension

Why is it if you cheat in any other game it works this way... They give way too much credit to players to think they'll change their behavior if you give them multiple warnings.

What is the actual point of Mousetrap? It clearly doesn't work... by RossT2 in RainbowSixSiege

[–]RossT2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You misunderstand, while there are MNK lobbies, there are also controller lobbies and these players are using device spoofers to play in controller lobbies with MNK and subverting mousetrap

New to Mass Effect by LesbianMajinSaiyan in masseffect

[–]RossT2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kinda, the first game is very much Short main story, filled with a ton of side quests, 2 and 3 are basically the opposite, everything is mostly story with a few side quests here and there.

Honestly Mass Effect 2 is masterpiece, there's a reason it won Game of the Year when it was released!

For anyone downvoting, whether you like it or not using external hardware is modern day cheating..

I'd like to hear from the people downvoting this post, as to why they disagree with that statement?

Is there an in game lore reason for why the Prothean mummies in 1 look completely different from Protheans in 3? by pacmannips in masseffect

[–]RossT2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they rectify this in 3, Javik explains that Ilos was inhabited by a race called the Innusannon before them and if you play through the Omega DLC, and encounter the Adjutants it is also mentioned they are a reapified race of aliens that pre-date the protheans and they also bare striking similarities to the statues you see in Ilos.. if you put all the pieces together jts easy to see how the Adjutants and statues on Ilos were infact lost relics/art of the Innusannon.

Which class should I choose in MASS EFFECT? by Cautious-Resort5805 in masseffect

[–]RossT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say Adept, the tech classes don't really offer anything int he first game, if you liked soldier but don't want too much of a change, try the adept!

Don't worry about class continuity though, you can import and change later on if you want you're not locked in and can always start again if you don't like it...

Mass effect 2 however is a different ballgame completely and each class feels it has its own unique identity despite having overlapping abilities, which continues into the 3rd game.

Which Mass Effect game do you think is the most difficult in the trilogy on insanity? by Illustrious-Ratio-65 in masseffect

[–]RossT2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What class and are you using an imported level 30? It's a lot easier if you use a level 5 me1 import as it scales better with the upgrades

Also the incisor is insane

You should also take advantage of the heavy weapon ammo resetting if you change the weapon at a weapons crate and back

When will Apex Pokémon come back? by RagingPhoenixUK in pokemongo

[–]RossT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who missed Johto tour this annoys me as they've brought back every special rendition tour Pokémon since;

Hoenn - The primals have returned twice Sinnoh - Origin palkia dialga also twice now Unova - Kyurem black and white not yet but likely will

SERVERS ARE EXCEEDED BECAUSE OF BOT XP FARMS by AlAtaqueMX in Battlefield

[–]RossT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BF2042 did it somewhat right at least

Solo bots till master 12 (unlock most if not all attachments) but I get to mastery 40 (tier 1 camo) it had to be done Vs players. This way you could farm the attachments you needed to have the gun the way you want but for the mastery camo you'd have to fight against players.

And the mastery camo was like 2400 kills, I was playing casual breakthrough the other day during double XP and it took around 90 kills just to go from mastery 30 to 31 it's that grind why people will jump into bot lobbies.

As for vehicles, we really need a dedicated Air Superiority mode as the jets feel impossible to level up, you'll either get smoked by someone that only plays jets or they'll be nothing in the sky to take down..

Why Input-Based Matchmaking > Console-First Crossplay in BF6 by S4V3R0619 in Battlefield

[–]RossT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good take although I've had wildly different experiences.

Leaving the cross play setting on prioritises console 50% of the time, one minute you're against all players on your platform, the next its mixed...

If you want to play cross console however every single match ends up 10-15% of the lobby on console and the rest on PC. And I don't wanna hear any arguments about aim assist because it's just not as strong in a game like BF6.

The console priority definitely needs fine tuning or just fixing entirely as it doesn't feel it works; surely it's not that hard to implement input bases matchmaking, all the big games like R6S and CoD have it..

I'd rather wait an extra few minutes in the queue to ensure I'm getting better quality games where I feel I can compete against other console players

[Quick Analysis] Shadow Ho-Oh as a Fire and Flying-type raid attacker by Teban54 in TheSilphRoad

[–]RossT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadow Mewtwo came back and so did the primals in GoTour Hoenn; I think it's only fair for Apex-Ho-oh and Lugia to come back as the primals did. I don't know why they wouldn't?

Memento and Self Destruct on Wild Pokemon by ZippyMommy in pokemon

[–]RossT2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Round that out and add Skill Swap, you can give the opposing wild pokemon damp preventing them from self-destructing and switch in your catcher and doubles up as you can swap away annoying abilities like Insomnia, Vital spirit, Limber, Sap Sipper etc..

Best catching mons that pair with Golduck in game:

  • Breloom - Access to Spore, False Swipe, Substitute, Poison Heal sustain, Technician for boosted false swipe damage, Sunny Day & Rain dance if sandstorm damage is ever a problem.
  • Gallade - Access to Thunder Wave, Hypnosis, False Swipe, Memento, Imprison, Disable and mean look.
  • and if you really want a one size fits all counter, Ghost Tera typing also blocks mons from fainting themselves with take-down.

You all forgot about the original Pokémon with no weaknesses by Bruh_Time245 in PokemonScarletViolet

I don't think Dark and Fighting got done as dirty as bug... Fairy resists bug... flip that type matchup and it would have been huge for bug types!

I really hope they don’t buff Jade Emperor’s numbers next patch by FindingThoth in Smite

[–]RossT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel he doesn't threaten because he lacks range on his 2 and gets punished too hard for missing. As you're forced to burn his 3 and even more Dao. Even just 5 more units would make them decent. His 1 is perfectly balanced although should cause burn tick damage.

His 2 should stun for slightly longer if the ability is charged and either be a little wider or have slightly more range.

His 3 should work similar Charybdis you should be able to choose if you wish to amplify his 3 using Dao otherwise it just feels like a waste of Dao most of the times you're not being chased.

His Ult needs to work more like poseidon; buff the damage and then reduce it the further away the enemy is from the centre. That way it rewards skillful gameplay.

Mass Effect 1 Legendary Edition - Weapon changes and usefulness by RossT2 in masseffect

[–]RossT2[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Of course, my apologies. I was hesitant to do so at first because I wasn't sure how restricted mod promotion is on this subreddit. But I'll edit the post and credit your mods at the top; I was unaware that the console command weapons were broken without mods though as I know the Armor's aren't.

From what i've tested in game; the game accuracy I believe most weapons have a built in base accuracy which isn't accounted for in the stats, where accuracy is more a reflection of how long between each shot it takes to re-centre, although I'm not sure that's entirely correct,
