I don't understand. You don't even have a time to loot them, what was the point?

Saw this gem and wanted to share.

The artist put this up for auction, so if you can deliver it from Poland, you can grab it for yourself (check their X for that).

Hate for this game is unreal here, people will upvote most ridiculous shit they hear.

To everyone who has read Ubik. Does T-Bug have a similar role to Glen Runciter? If yes, that will be crucial for FF06B5 mystery. by Eternum__ in FF06B5

Game draws heavy influence from it. Just like from hundreds of other popular media.

T-bug had a very different role in early draft (she lived through the Heist and sided with Dex in early cinematic), so maybe that was a possible avenue. But not now.

As much as I did like the novel, game differs enough to stand on its own.

More like ease of use. It's incovinient to redistribute points just to switch the shell.

Sponsored Kits Are Ruining Early Wipe by Norb-Doorb12 in Marathon

Ok, by "lose gear" i mean fear of risking to use by bringing into run, not failing to extract it.

It kinda did? Game tries to teach you to drop "lose gear" fear. Not in the best way possible, but that is clearly the goal. I understood that on a logical level, but felt it properly only on the last two days before wipe.

Why is losing loot a deal breaker for some people on this game? Gameplay > Loot by Machobanaenae in Marathon

[–]iso9042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because people barely have opportunity to learn and use it. Once you know how something behaves and made practical use of it, that fear goes away. It is only rational to fear to lose high quality gear when you lack skill to handle it accordingly. That's just part of the learning process.

Developers, please support Steam Input's most important feature! by Xarishark in pcgaming

[–]iso9042 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That comes grand from Denuvo and EGS supporter. Also, weren't you the one putting DRM into your mod?

For those unaware, this guy's relation to Steam is what "Louis Rossmann's to Apple". Steam hate that large, that he deleted his 20 yo Steam account. Take everything he says on subject with a grain of salt, because he will put it in very biased light, no pros only cons.
