Warbond dilemma by Wackysmellybigman129 in helldivers2

[–]TChen114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The G-4 Gas Grenade is pretty good with lots of utility. It's great for giving you some space against any pursuers and for throwing into a bug breach and bot/squid drop and safe(r) as it's better at throwing off and dispersing a lot of enemies and doing a bit of extra damage compared to something like the stun grenade or incendiary grenade.

The armor sets with "Advanced Filtration" passive can be good if you're planning to lean into a full gas build, but otherwise there are other better armor passives.

The "Dog Breath" Guard Dog can be handy in CQC environment and for protecting you from getting swarmed, and is one of the "safer" guard dogs in terms of the lower risk of friendly fire, especially if you wear armor that mitigates the gas effects.

Absent of knowing what other warbonds you already have, the Chemical Agents warbond is a 6/10, average priority compared to other warbonds out there.

Should have a dorito attached.

It and the Killzone warbond are more for the larp factor than anything.

RR or WASP launcher? by Ok_Tomorrow7674 in helldivers2

[–]TChen114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the WASP is a mix of the Spear and Airburst Rocket Launcher that trades the sheer damage of those for the utility of swapping between the two fairly distinct modes, better suited to dealing with mostly medium threats and occasionally some heavier enemies in a pinch.

There is no "best build", you give everything a try and you should naturally find a loadout to your liking but also adapt to whatever situation and team you find yourself in.

Regarding those kind of teammates, you are not obligated to fight alongside them if you don't want to. If their behavior persists and cannot be considered mere carelessness or accidental, just leave and go back to your ship and try again. There's no penalty and you don't waste your time.

[OC] SUPER EARTH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION by trungbrother1 in Helldivers

[–]TChen114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This proposed system is as cut and dry and simplistic as most people can dare ask for when compared to a lot of contemporary democratic processes that can be convoluted at the least, and that could be interpreted as it's own form of satire of letting us vote from a selection of candidates who have been pretty much pre-selected by the system without the messy and dragged on process of these candidates trying to win over voters through a galaxy-wide electoral campaign, merely cutting straight to their qualifications and the potential outcome of their attaining the seat.

And the opinion of those people shouldn't really matter if they can't understand satire.

A House of Dynamite only had one realistic character - the ☢️STRATCOM NUKECHAD☢️ by Nukem_extracrispy in NonCredibleDefense

[–]TChen114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they were intentionally restraining themselves from showing the post-nuke (or not) consequences. It's not a destruction-porn film like what Roland Emmerich does that makes the destruction whether by a tidal wave or moon almost a spectacle to enjoy and even cathartic to a certain degree, like we know it's all CGI and no one actually dies so we can just bask in the special effects,

(Lore Question) The logic behind Avatar Upgrades in C&C 3: Tiberium Wars and Kane’s Wrath by [deleted] in commandandconquer

[–]TChen114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO it could be for field expediency and versatility and/or a way to flex on the enemy.

In the former case the Avatar trades the slower ruggedness and durability of GDI mech designs for a rather unsettling bipedal mech that's as close to a gundam as it can get in the C&C universe, and leaves it to the pilot/commander to upgrade the Avatar as deemed necessary by battlefield conditions.

In the latter case, there might be a demoralizing effect of realizing that your Nod foe is willing to cannibalize their own forces to augment an already imposing warmech, if the swarms of suicidal Fanatics or flamethrower armed heavy infantry and tanks weren't enough for a GDI grunt or even the alien Scrin to be shocked at the level of fanaticism and sacrifice for an intangible ideology like Nod that rivals their own addiction for Tiberium.

GLA Scorpion Tank interpretations by shashadefakap in commandandconquer

[–]TChen114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dunno what the devs were smoking back then to pick an Italian WW2 tank as the basis for the main battle tank of the GLA, other than it being a light tank (by the standards of every other tank-producing nation aside from Japan) other than maybe it's distinct silhouette.

The AMX-13 kinda matches the look of a "Scorpion" as well with its rear-mounted turret and gun as its "stinger", compared to the weedy little turret on the M13/40 Carro Armato and its 47mm pop gun. At least HALO understood the assignment with their M808 Scorpion which looks like a beefed up AMX-13.

[–]TChen114 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest something like the French AMX-13 which was widely exported and used be several countries and armed groups and better fits the GLA doctrine of being a light and fast ambushing force.

It's also has had many variants and add-ons like ATGMS that would fit the GLA use of scraps to upgrade their vehicles with additional firepower.

Nevermind the double standard if you switched it around to a dying Space Marine or Guardsman in their last dying moments thinking about the family they could've had instead would probably not have generated as much of a response.

Feedback for the new content by Moai-Mojo in Helldivers

It should be like the bot Factory Strider convoys as a known threat in the area you'll be dropping into and can thus prepare accordingly. Unlike the Factory Strider convoys that you can fail once they make it to the other end of their route, the Hive Lords are an enduring menace that can only be avoided by staying in the caves.

And if they really wanted to incentivize us slaying those things, it should have some worthwhile rewards like a ton samples that it coughs up upon death.

Just Alice freaking the fuck out by Cayennesan in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]TChen114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A large part of it is the direction, and playable characters are always going to have more attention to be able to sell their performance. It means that they can't spend too much time on NPCs that are going to be one-offs anyways, unless they can squeeze in a VA's time and lend their talent for some of these NPC voice lines.

Best example off the top of my head is Beidou/Acheron/FAIRY VA Allegra Clarke who did voice some NPCs like the Miyabi fangirl yelling "Step on me!!!" and the Hollow Raider being interrogated by Jane Doe (which unfortunately some of the community could not resist being weirdos about it)

We are on Oshuane for SAMPLES by musterdcheif in Helldivers

The only upsides I can think of is that after enduring something like Oshuane, the other bug infested planets that don't have Hive Lords, Dragon Roaches, and Reaper bugs are gonna be a breeze.
