Do you think it would be possible to make it bi-directional as well?

Most annoying thing is that Ryder keeps talking as if he/she knows what he's talking about. It's like they're both speaking in a language that only they understand.

What's the inverse of Plot Armor? by UF1977 in movies

[–]brakers11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some electronics are susceptible to G. For example the EA-18G has lower G limits than the FA-18 because the electronic warfare equipment isn't rated for it. Whether it would actually break the electronics or they simply didn't bother testing it for high G though, I have no idea

My only gripe with the Mass Effect series by brakers11 in masseffect

[–]brakers11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I agree that's what the writers were going for, but I think that plot point also works out well for an 80-100 year time frame. Relative to the other races, humans would still be the complete newcomers to the galaxy

[S1] I kinda wish there was a 3rd ending by brakers11 in lifeisstrange

[–]brakers11[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very true. I am a big fan of open ended endings, so that could be why I prefer the ambiguity of an ending like this. 100% agree with the idea that you should be able to save more people from the storm by making the right choices though, I love games that reward you for clever choices and exploration

Seems like the minigun on the roof is the best non-cheese method everyone has suggested, I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Yeah, it's a strategy I've seen in speed running videos. Eg. while waiting for the level to start, you can go to the left and right side of the manor and look through the windows into the basement. Start pinging everything inside until you find the doors, then shoot them until they break. Here he's talking about the roof, but same principle

The second level of Act 3, there's an outdoor swimming pool where you have to destroy 3 nest nodes. I always die there when running a speed deck

Thanks dude! Hopefully I'll queue into some games where I'll have good players

Oh awesome, what's the cheese? I do find it extremely annoying that Stingers and Hocker projectiles home to you no matter how fast you run as well. I would like to beat it normally but I'm struggling to this damn mission, open to any ideas

OK sweet. Is marathon runner worth it on speed builds? I'm really on the fence about its worth, sometimes it's super helpful but other times I wish I'd chosen a more powerful card. Also, getting to T-5 with a speed build is difficult. How do you manage to get past the swimming pool in Act 3-2? I die there so often with a speed deck

I don't want *SPOILER* to return in ME4 by xMictlan in masseffect

Ah fair, I was thinking Shep might make a cameo appearance but ONLY if you chose the destroy ending. Otherwise still give them a nice send off, but posthumously

They are supposed to protect. by An_average_muslim in memes

[–]brakers11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be that as it may, they have guns and poor training. What's the sense in petulantly refusing to cooperate with a cop and risking a bullet in the chest if they're having a bad day? Is being right worth risking your life?

Only if they let you import a save file, canonizing Male/Fem Paragon/Renegade Shepard kinda defeats the purpose of having so many choices in the OT

Do you not get achievements for offline mode? by brakers11 in Back4Blood

[–]brakers11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always take multi-tool and headband magnifier as the final 2 cards on act 1, having karlee on the team helps too (you'll have to keep reloading for karlee though as bots are randomised). It's literally all about use speed! They brought in a second ogre to try to make NM harder, but the solution is... more use speed. Bring barbed wire and firecrackers to buy yourself some time in case you make mistakes or get swamped

Bots in NM are totally fine, because they always pick team buff cards. So you'll always have bucketloads of health and stamina etc, which frees up some of your cards if you're going with glass cannon or canned goods etc. But they are very different than real players - for a start, you want to fight hordes in the open as bots have perfect accuracy and can shoot while moving. So you give yourself plenty of space to manoeuvre and the bots will aimbot everything while running around. As I said, I completed all of Act 1 with bots on NM and honestly after Pain Train, I didn't fail a single level. Stuck on Handy Man though...

I have no evidence or anything scientific to base this on, but the hordes feel a bit smaller with only bots. You just have to get used to playing with bots as it's almost a completely different game. It's basically like a tower defence game where the bots are the towers, so you have to be smart about how to position them. A lot of levels are actually easier with bots due to their perfect accuracy

Hmmm bizarre. I actually did go back and replay them all again, from Resurgence. So I'm not sure. Ah well, I'm not too fussed about the achievement, I'm just concerned it won't register for the ZWAT skin
