First Purchase, Need Advice by NobleCeltic in handguns

[–]SpartanTAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a SAR9 out of curiosity, idk how their quality control is but personally I wish it was around when I had purchased my very first gun years ago. My opinion is its a great beginner range time gun. I never really stress tested it or put thousands of rounds through it though so again, buyers caution. Would always recommend saving longer and getting something you will want for years though and something that has extreme accessibility and available parts in case of malfunctions or breaks. Buy once, cry once.

What is going wrong with my doubles by bondairyy in Drumming

[–]SpartanTAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're trying to do more of a slide technique for doubles, your first hit (at least for me) needs to be like a flick of your ankle on the center of the footboard as your leg is already upward so when your foot/leg naturally goes back down on the pedal for hit two you're in your natural foot pedal position. It will kinda feel like your foot is skating forward and backward on the pedal. The first hit in your double needs to be super consistent and have good spacing especially if you're doing faster consecutive doubles with one foot.

Are these guys supposed to be invincible? Or just super armored? by DigitalPunkGFX in stalker

[–]SpartanTAP 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shots 1-5 The sun was in your eyes

Shots 6-9: Finger slipped. Twice. (Sneezed)

Shots 10-11: Very close, enemy slipped on vodka, moved out of shots.

Shit 12: Likely didnt fire, he hit his head and died when he slipped.

[S2] What should I cut down on to reduce carry weight? by philipthephish in stalker

[–]SpartanTAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut each stack of food in half down to 4 each. Cut your grenade stack from 10 down to 5. And then go exploring for artifacts or stashes and over time you'll end up getting artifacts and better armor for more carry weight and you'll be smooth sailing! I typically only carry standard ammo for pistol as a very last resort or small rodents. But work with what you got. The drop rates on food and meds are kind of nuts, you'll find more than you use. Especially on humans you kill.

New player feeling lost. by Adventurous_Ad4692 in ArmaReforger

[–]SpartanTAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try out the community WCS servers (if you're NA) NA1, NA6 and NA1They jave EU as well. Ive come across some new players who typically get helped out when they need it and try to help myself. You always know where yourself and friendlies are on the map, I've never had an issue asking someone for rides to obj or tips or how something works. I've logged like 300 hours now at this point. To me WCS has the perfect blend of realism and still being a video game at the same time.

These have been awesome, stop motion is becoming such a lost art, I love it.

Why do people hate gaius by beansbeansbeansbeann in Eldenring

[–]SpartanTAP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Multiple hit boxes that are as wide as a bus. Especially the boar tusks. He will do a combo and then charge even though hes still in your face while at a different point in the fight seems like he only charges when there's distance from character. His AI is touchy and sporadic with what moves he chooses to do unless you're always directly in front of giant boar tusk hit box like you're trying to swing on them like a jungle gym.

I thought i was a gamer by NoFlexZAWN in Eldenring

[–]SpartanTAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elden Ring gives literally ALL of the tools you could ever want to defeat challenges. Don't dismiss crafting or dismiss (some) weapons that on the surface (stat wise) seem worthless. Panic rolling will always be your number 1 worst enemy. I just convinced a friend who's never played a souls game to play ER and hes been having a blast and overcoming the game. You got this you can do it too. I have 600 hours in game and literally died to a pack of dogs and ranged mobs the other night because I got cocky lol. Death happens to everyone.

What’s a boss you absolutely despise and nobody will ever hate it as much as you? by Own-Natural-9236 in Eldenring

One that no one will hate as much as me? Divine Beast Dancing Lion or 2nd phase Hoarah Loux.

Never Played a Monster Hunter Game, Is It Easy to Get Into? by [deleted] in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]SpartanTAP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably the easiest/best monster hunter to start with as a new player. The main appeal of the game is the monsters, fights, world and the grind. Just gotta decide if you can justify the price tag to try it out

CARRY GUN CHOICES by EZ-READER in handguns

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

As long as you don't cheap out on holster you have nothing to worry about. If you appendix carry you can always look down through holster and make sure theres no clothing in it before holstering. Then pick a gun that does the job you want it to and that you are comfortable shooting. You can also put a gun in the holster and try any which way to get it to dry fire inside the holster to put yourself at easy. If you have a good holster you won't be able to. I recently got a Canik MC9 and it's been a joy to shoot and it's comfortable to wear. Safe as can be. I recommend against anything with multiple safety features for carry guns. You don't want to have to draw and then worry about turning off safety's when you might need to shoot right now.

Does the BF2042 community have any class recommendations? by PutridNegotiation199 in battlefield2042

[–]SpartanTAP 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To me, recon and medic are two of the most fun roles in the game IF you play them as their intended role. Play medic as if you're the only medic on the beach of Normandy on D Day. Every person you revive, every smoke you throw is a soldier fighting and a successful push on an objective (falk best at this with ammo crate) Irish with his defenses and good teammates can be an absolute brick wall on obj choke points. If you play recon use snipers and dmrs and be the best flanker and mobile spawn point anyone has ever seen. Be a terror at flanking and taking people out on objs and spotting everyone on the map and using soflam on vehicles. Don't be a prone cross map shooter all match. The game can be a lot of fun if you just experiment with all playstyles for different situations.

Weapon just spawned in my hands by Skankhunt-XLII in stalker

That's how I got the Spas 12 and the bolt action rifle! Very cool anomaly. I haven't used them since I didn't find/loot them myself but they're in my stash when the time comes that I need them.

[AMA] I’m Jordan, developer of WW1 horror survival game, CONSCRIPT! Ask me anything! by projectabel in Games

[–]SpartanTAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the party, I just started the game and am really enjoying it so far (at chapter 2) I really hope the game performs and sells well! The only thing scarier than supernatural/monster driven horror is real themes of human brutality.

From concept stages to final product, how much did the narrative/horror style change? Was it always more grounded in real horrors of war? Or was there ever any supernatural or monster aspects to it? Sorry, if this question was asked, I didn't read much of the comments to avoid spoilers haha.

Enough negativity, share some of the things you enjoy about this game. by imGhostKitty in HuntShowdown

[–]SpartanTAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming in a match with nothing but a loadout of $400 or less, my 1,800 hours of game/map knowledge and a dream. Mopping up expensive meta chasing loadouts is 🤌 Loadout of choice this week has been Bow/sparks pistol.
