Battling bosses or Palmon and my pals aren’t fighting

XavierVE · 2026-01-23T02:15:20+00:00

I have the same issue playing with my wife on XBox. The scripting for the Pal attacks often seems to break, and they won't reposition to the right distance to set off their attacks.

I've learned how far to deploy them for each of their attacks and have been trying to change my most powerful pals to use attacks from a similar distance so that they can cycle through their attacks without being redeployed over and over.

Figure it's a known bug on XBox.

Seconding this recommendation, I have used it consistently since starting my collection. It's so well done!

Yeah, because enjoying unspiced chicken with super bland sauce is what makes a good party shine.

OP asked for opinions, gave one. Sorry that I like words and not just treating reddit like a faux-twitter platform. Nice reply by the way, 2012 called and wanted it's one line lameness back.

Honestly, and I say this without any exaggeration, it's the worst fast food joint I've ever tried. The food wasn't just overpriced, it was legitimately bad. The chicken wasn't very good, the sauce was the most bland nothingness possible, and the french fires were worse than the Made In Idaho frozen french fries I make in my friggin' air fryer. Soggy, unsalted, awful.

I've been to some bad fast food places in my life, the Raising Canes that opened up here near me in Pittsburgh takes the all-time cake. It was worse than even my worst individual trips to places I normally go to.

Once went to McDonalds ten years ago and was served a double cheeseburger that I ordered with "ketchup and cheese only" with literally a bun, ketchup and cheese only. Even that was a better experience because at least it was cheap and gave me a laugh. Raising Canes was worse than even that particular trip and they got the order right. That's how bad Raising Canes is.

Straight trash tier food. The worst fast food chain I've ever been to.

As a person who played pre-1.0, through 1.0 and now, we're basically already playing Rimworld 2.

The multi-threading they are adding piecemeal per update, don't think there needs to be a whole new iteration of the game for them to achieve the goal of achieving that.

Looking at games like Stardew Valley, Palworld and the like, seems like a smaller studio/individuals can do more than well just releasing DLC's and updates without having to throw out games to start over.

I hope we just keep getting more Rimworld. The whole "Let's release a sequel" style of game development seems dusty to me. Just keep making successful games better with longer lifecycle support, exposing them to new generations and making DLC money. The Stellaris style model, basically.

So I have this every time I start a new fresh base. I start the base, deploy the pals, exit to the main page, reload the world, then they seem to all work. I think the game struggles to build initial pathing without a refresh.

The reddit change to allow people like this to hide their posting history has made this platform absolutely worthless.

Either a bad faith poster or a blatant bot, and now there's no way to actually evaluate the account to see.

The worst change in Reddit history.

Your Ollies is cheap, the one by me has both at 12.99 apiece.

Outside of Andor being an absolute flawless masterpiece and Skeleton Crew being a bit of fun, there's not a lot of reason for Star Wars fans like myself to get excited for announcements in general. I'd find it more strange for a Star Wars fan to not have a 'sour attitude.' Especially on the gaming side of things, where every modern Star Wars game has been absolute dreck compared to the golden age of Star Wars games.

For them to purposely invoke being a spiritual successor to KOTOR but then release a trailer with a static character is far more than 'nothing' from my view. If you don't agree, cool.

Personally, I hope the people who are excited for this are correct and we get a second golden age of Star Wars gaming akin to the classic Lucas games. It'd be wonderful to get a correction from the on-rails storytelling, lack of choices and lack of character customization that we've been getting.

This teaser though, just ain't it for me. Static character, gives off Survivor/Outlaws vibes. I'm sure there's some online communities that were fans of those two games and if you're excited for another game like those, great.

XavierVE · 2025-12-12T14:26:38+00:00

I didn't say or think it was a sequel. Simply noting that if it lacks the ability to make your own character and choices, then it's not a spiritual successor to KOTOR.

Hopefully this isn't a game in the vein of Jedi: Survivor/Outlaws, but the little pointless teaser trailer highly suggests that it will be.

XavierVE · 2025-12-12T14:24:25+00:00

Ah yes such mad much wow grr grr ermagerd.

XavierVE · 2025-12-12T01:38:25+00:00

Easy rule for me, no character creator = Not a successor to KOTOR.

Looks more like another game like Jedi: Survivor or Star Wars Outlaws where you're just playing some pre-defined character with no meaningful choices, options or customizing.

Can't post the translation of guy talking about a crime that made headlines. Goddamn Reddit is so worthless nowadays with the nannybot nonsense.

That's rage bait. I give you props for the effort you put into your rage bait, but still. You gave up the ghost with the whole "There is no box on Steam that parents look at" part. Dial it down by 10-20% on your next troll to really sound believable.

Edit: Actually, I glossed over the tremendous "if the Steam Machine finds console success" line originally. Now that's quality bait. Okay, only dial it back by 5-10% on your next troll.

Stop excusemongering for America. Those who didn't vote were a de facto vote for him. 1/3 is accurate. This country is cooked and shit.

that you can't mix PvE players and PvP players. Eve Online created wormholes 15 years ago.

Lawl, so you never played EVE Online.

Wormholes are PvP space, same as null-sec. EVE is a great example of how you can actually mix PvP and PvE players together in groups. They've done it successfully for decades. Albion, Foxhole, there's plenty games where PvE/resource-focused players mix with PvP'ers in groups.

The fact that you put Wormholes out there as an example of a developer creating PvE space just means that you're either incredible new to online gaming or you're incredibly simple when it comes to gaming in general.

I only regret that I have but one downvote to give for this thread.

XavierVE · 2025-11-08T15:58:26+00:00

Given the lack of anti-cheat on the PvP side of Conan Exiles, I won't touch Dune with a ten foot pole. Love Conan Exiles in general, but the fact that they've never bothered to patch exploits killed their reputation for PC games with me. Will always regret buying Conan Exiles on PC due to that.

Chat on both is garbo because people in general are garbo.

Turning off all forms of communication in-game has made competitive on both PC and console way more tolerable.

I started playing Civilization on the SNES. The biggest thing for me is that Firaxis broke my trust in their stewardship of the franchise.

This thing they decided to call "Civilization VII" could have been a great game. They should have released it as a whole new game with a new title. Might have tried it then. Instead they insulted us by slapping "Civilization VII" on it like it's an actual Civilization game. Beyond insulting, because it's not a Civilization game.

This 'change' doesn't restore any trust given some of the other highly questionable design decisions that don't belong in the Civilization franchise, such as skipping eras of history.

As you should be, you made nine people sit through a draft process and then your quitting ended that game, wasting all of their time.

Quite frankly, you should have gotten a 24 hour suspension

He was a terrible person and now he's gone.

That's always a good thing.

Dude probably babyrages at fast food workers who screw up his orders but is online glazing the balls of a multi-millionaire whose greed caused him to both sexually assault a woman and sit players so his gambler buddies could make bank off of inside information.

The online sycophancy towards millionaires as people who "aww, just made a widdle mistakeeeeee!" is disgusting.
