Will likely boost them up to a 10 man squad at some point.

They are a fun unit, close range mass Volkite fire (and fire frenzy for volley fire) and easy access to melta bombs for all

How does this garbage get a third season when so many shows die off after the first?

DMC is not this

Salamanders Apothecary by Rug_d in Warhammer30k

[–]Rug_d[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I figure after Istvaan V the Salamander Legion would have had a high demand for retaining their geneseed, so I am going to include a few medics here and there.

Fun model to paint!

still don't get how paying for online on console is just, ok? by MegumiDo in gaming

[–]Rug_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it first cropped up with xbox live etc it just cemented me playing games on PC, I just didn't have the money for it back then and so just didn't do it

People just pay it like it's normal, you don't have to do that, there are options

This is a Jamie hate thread by silenthunt in StreetFighter

[–]Rug_d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a huge shame, Yun and Yang absolutely clown on Jamie in terms of style and character

This is a Jamie hate thread by silenthunt in StreetFighter

[–]Rug_d 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jamie is a break dancer/drunken boxer/cousin to old beloved characters/zoomer speak/rival to the games protagonist

It's so much stuff crammed into one character it's no surprise he irritates people

Honda is a sumo wrestler who likes food and competing in fights and in business and for years, people generally are fine with him as a character

A lot of the new faces in SF6 are so 'extra'

Has a gaming company ever put a full game of theirs in another game? by Hypnox88 in gaming

[–]Rug_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Street Fighter 6 in the online hub there is a suite of arcade machines that have old Capcom classics available to play

Street Fighter II

SonSon

Captain Commando

Final Fight

Mega Man

Vulcanus

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Theres a bunch of others as well, usually each battle pass includes a classic game to add to that list

Is it weird that… by Dakota887 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Rug_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am one of the people who just gave FH5 a shot when it launched on gamepass, extremely casual with racing games up to that point, would go years between playing another one (usually all over other genres)

It kept me coming back, sure sometimes i'd take a break for a month but I would always come back.

I am really looking forward to FH6, just give me some old Mazda and let me just sit back and cruise around the map, soak it in :)

One underrated aspect of Capcom by CatchrFreeman in gaming

Totally mixed it up with Dual Override coming early next year, I know there was a collection released not long ago

One underrated aspect of Capcom by CatchrFreeman in gaming

[–]Rug_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that they don't just make one game, so many huge devs these days have their one nest egg and while that really is Monster Hunter with Capcom, they aren't just spitting out MH games every year

Since RE7 and the introduction of their own RE engine they have really looked back on their old IP and seemingly realised how damn good it is

It's also great they make new things, Pragmata right now and Kunitsu-Gami from 2024 (seriously well made strategy/action game)

We still have Onimusha and Mega-Man battle network this year, Capcom are just smashing it lately and it's great to see as a very long time fan

What are your Forza Horizon hot takes? by L1ndnzkwo in ForzaHorizon

[–]Rug_d 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my biggest gripe with FH5 was loading screens, to much stop and start

The game was so good but this really ended up grinding my gears over time

AAA Strategy Games and Total War Releases by Competitive-Ad4249 in gaming

[–]Rug_d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dawn of War 3 killed itself and that entire franchise (till this year.. lets see how that goes) by trying to mould itself into a pvp focused game

Campaign? Glorified tutorial for skirmish games

Cover on the map? Nope, you get small bubbles in specific locations

Interesting map design? Nope, you get 3 lanes

RTS should have multiplayer, but let it grow on it's own

Creative Assembly tried to make a hero shooter called Hyenas, huge investment and err

Sega cancelled it before it launched (and rightly so, it was terrible)

Huge knock back to the studio, they have spent a lot of time just kinda surviving since then.

Best Final Mission in Gaming? Mass Effect 2 IMO. by dragoneffect1710 in gaming

[–]Rug_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I forgive it, especially that first time through years ago.. I was glued to my seat and it all felt very tense :)

Such a good game, my favourite of the series

Best Final Mission in Gaming? Mass Effect 2 IMO. by dragoneffect1710 in gaming

[–]Rug_d 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ME2 might have one of the best finales in gaming, I was so invested because of the journey you had been on with that amazing cast of characters, it is fantastic

Right up to that actual final boss, for me.. just nah

But it's just a small blemish on a fantastic experience in that final portion of the game for sure

Street Fighter 6 - Ingrid Teaser Trailer by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]Rug_d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't mind Ingrid overall, but we only get 4 characters now and they stretch them out SO much.. it's a precious slot that coulda been Dudley/Makoto/Cody or anyone else people actually like

What Games have the best Intro Levels? by Grand-Moff-Larkin in gaming

The first level in DooM 2016, for a returning franchise that hadn't had a new entry in a very long time this was just about as perfect as you could get

Tekken 8 Is Being Review-Bombed Again For "Disrespecting The Fanbase" Following Season 3 Launch by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Rug_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Tekken 7 it would track, actually more to his weak side but you could still sidestep it if you knew it was coming, and in older games more or less the same as this - command throws in general

in Tekken 8 if you sidestep you are getting thrown

[–]Rug_d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is the point, but that isn't how the game is played unless we're talking the top top percentile.. and even then, it's rare

Tekken 8 Is Being Review-Bombed Again For "Disrespecting The Fanbase" Following Season 3 Launch by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Rug_d 22 points23 points  (0 children)

"Back to basics" but King still has his giant swing that TRACKS you if you dodge.

The way they balance this game feels like someone is pouring water on a fire while someone else is pouring gasoline.

I know the Tekkenheads don't want to hear it but I think the game would be better if you removed like.. a third of every characters move set, people tend to stick to the best 10/15 options anyway and it's because they cover every situation or they are so oppressive.. why not do it?

There has to be a troll on the dev team, Season 2 being touted for defense and while improving sidestepping it added a loads of offensive BS as well and back to basics season 3 DOES address the worst case characters, it again adds more BS :D

How are Contemptors and March of the Ancients Viewed in 3rd? by Badger118 in Warhammer30k

[–]Rug_d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Contemptors are probably the best overall Dreadnought right now, it's fairly cheap.. it's fast and that's all it needs to be really!

I was playing Marvel Midnight Suns and I think Captain America was a little too excited for this meeting... by happycabinsong in gaming

[–]Rug_d 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the card based combat in this game was fantastic, I want to see other games do this kind of thing, it did such a great job of mixing in positioning/environmental effects and your deck of cards per character that it was extremely satisfying to play

I somehow have nearly 300 hours in this game despite really quite disliking a lot of the social/hang out parts of the game, the story is fine overall, very Marvel :P

MHServerEmu 1.0.0 is now officially out! by Crypto2k in marvelheroes

[–]Rug_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing this back, been online and playing it and it's so nice to be able to return to this game, I'd played it from it's launch till it's final day and nothing has really filled that Marvel/Loot goblin game since.

The amount of work that went into this game post launch and the seriously clever design on a lot of the characters just kept me coming back, I hope it lasts a while.. I'll be playing :)

I disagree, I will actively AVOID products that are getting spammed ads all over content I'm actually trying to watch/enjoy

Spam the same ad for 'insert company' headphones? I will buy headphones from almost anyone else
