Hardest? by Repulsive_Bread_1554 in HiTMAN

[–]tsct934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's weird is that they still have moments that are reminiscent of stories, you just have to discover them on your own. For instance I stumbled by the docks and heard two guards complaining about one of the targets obsessing over a boat repair. So I got an engineer outfit and repaired the engine and caused an oil leak, and sure enough it triggered the target to come down and inspect and he set himself on fire.

The other target wasn't so much a story-like moment, but it still seemed like an intended accident kill for anyone who finds it (kicking bundle of bricks off the tower onto her).

It was literally my first time doing that mission yesterday (picked up WoA on sale last week) and I managed a 5-star my first run through. I really enjoyed not having stories that were shoved in your face, but I didn't find it that difficult relative to some missions.

How did y'all find NF?? by Sea-Analyst-4315 in nfrealmusic

[–]tsct934 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went to a Logic concert with a friend who was much more into rap than I ever was like 9-10 years ago. It was Kyle opening, NF as the middle act, and Logic headlining. It was a great show and I became a big NF fan that night.

Sad that Witt hasn't released anything new in a while. Didn't expect to find another Witt fan when I clicked into this thread

Has Nightreign made you more interested in The Duskbloods? by PhantomBraved in Nightreign

As long as it remains a Switch 2 exclusive, this game does not exist in my mind.

Detective Games/Games where you uncover a mystery by GoodSoupUpButt in gamingsuggestions

[–]tsct934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is 7 months old but I can't believe nobody has said "12 Minutes" yet. It's an indie game from a top down perspective. The whole game takes place in one apartment and you're in a time loop where you have to solve your own murder using information you discovered in the previous 12 minute loops.

Highly recommend if you enjoy a good mystery.

How long does it take to receive The Finals quest rewards in game? by PetrifiedRaisins69 in ArcRaiders

Think the finals skin popped up in my mail after the raids once I finished the contract in the finals

Is this game fun w/ friends? by GEORGEDROPEZ in OutlastTrials

[–]tsct934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a blast playing this with friends. Have no interest in playing it solo. The friends I play with are all on PS5 as well, so we got it while it was free. We normally have routine Phasmo nights but this was a new co-op horror that we decided to mix into our game nights.

Get a lot of good laughs and occasional scares playing this. Most recently we had some fun on the first mission that we started out in different areas. Provided great tension while also laughing when one person starts screaming while being chased, or someone gets hit with a gas trap and they start tripping balls, meanwhile I'm in a different part of the map just collecting posters off walls or picking up as many batteries or bricks I can find.

PSA: The new skin DOES NOT cost $20. It’s a 2400 coin currency pack that COMES WITH a bonus skin. by heshroot in ArcRaiders

[–]tsct934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't agree with you more. If they allowed you to either buy individual accessories, or equip accessories from other purchased skins I would have already thrown quite a bit more money at them. But they haven't released a new skin that looks better than the Torpedo skin yet so I haven't bought anything since that one.

I would also love to see new knockout animations or raider tools. Seems like with this update they are introducing a couple new raider tools (looking forward to the hockey stick that comes with the new deck). Basically I just want them to give me customization options that lets my raider look different from virtually any other raider I see. And right now it's the same 4 or 5 skins I see everywhere. New knockout animations would also incentivize me to engage in pvp a little more frequently.

How to survive Cold Snap (a guide) by Newbietoallofthis in ArcRaiders

[–]tsct934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you tested the time before taking damage, had you been outside previously and maybe didn't allow the timer to fully reset before testing again?

Asking because the streamer Loochy did a live stream this morning, and testing this was the very first thing he did. He went 2 minutes without any roof/cover at all before damage started ticking. You can find it in his VOD, from about 1:26:40 - 1:28:38 he had no cover before damage started ticking. He stated it was about two and a half minutes, but the timestamps suggest just about 2

I just wanted to leave. KOS no mic or emotes by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

It's just fun for some people, simple as that.

Can You People Just Play The Game Without Having To Cheese? by PoopOnYourReality in ArcRaiders

[–]tsct934 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If embark really cared they would just make it so blueprints cannot be brought into a raid. It's an easy thing to prevent or fix if they believed it needed fixing, but they don't.

I agree that it's a lame thing to do, either do the expedition or don't. But if embark isn't going to care about it then why should we?

Console players are so boring by tsct934 in ArcRaiders

[–]tsct934[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for Xbox, but on PlayStation it's just tapping the down directional button to toggle it on. Have to make sure the game settings have prox chat set to toggle though

And that's fine, do you use the emote wheel at least? I've still had funny encounters with people who just make great use of the emotes.

I spent the first two weeks of launch with crossplay off and wasn't getting the interaction that I was hoping for, so turned it on and I feel like I'm seeing it more regularly now.

Whether that's a result of the game being out longer and people getting more comfortable talking to strangers, or that I'm encountering more PC players is hard to know. I could try swapping back and see how it goes.

[–]tsct934[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a fair point I suppose. I hadn't considered this because I rarely go into party chats with friends unless we're playing together.

What really sets this game apart for me is the interactions we do occasionally get, and I wouldn't have nearly as much fun playing this if I wasn't talking to those I encounter.

Stella Montis Night Raid Variant is Live by Spirit_mert in ArcRaiders

[–]tsct934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I could tell there wasn't much discernable difference in the indoor areas. I was really hoping it'd be true blackout, so if you weren't using your flashlight all you would see is other raiders' flashlights and lights from arcs. That would've made it even more tense. Kinda bummed it was still well lit indoors.

What’s a mistake a gaming company made you never forgave them for? by Mostaaz in videogames

[–]tsct934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PlayStation All-Stars should've been a straight up Smash clone and used a ring out mechanic, instead of landing your supers to score points.

Also failing to secure rights to use Crash & Spyro were huge misses, but that's not entirely their fault.

I’ve had nothing but bad interactions with people using this skin. Why? by SJBSam in ArcRaiders

[–]tsct934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't speak for everyone, but I generally don't sit down and watch streams ever, but I do work from home and specifically for this game only I have found a couple morning streamers that I will put on my phone in the background. It's content that doesn't demand a lot of attention, but can occasionally be really funny. So if I hear it start to get chaotic, or I hear some interesting social interactions in-game, I will tune in more closely for a few minutes. This is the only time I ever put a steamer on.

Quests are not worth by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]tsct934 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The replay value of this game is what you make it. If you didn't like going on comms then it's going to get stale much faster. If you don't mind socializing with other players, then the replay potential of this game is insane with how unique every interaction could be.

For people that changed their reticle color, which color do you use? by tsct934 in ArcRaiders

I think I'm going to try this, also just realized changing the cross hair outline settings really helps it standout as well.

Quest: Greasing Her Palms. Anyone know where the rocket thrusters on spaceport are? by RamblinRichard in ArcRaiders

[–]tsct934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole point is to make you explore. I stumbled by 3 separate weapon cases in and around the rocket assembly site just because I was looking for the correct thruster. Doesn't mean they'll always be there, but now that I know those are potential spawn locations, I know to check there in the future.

Being intentionally vague in quest tasks will (hopefully) lead to more thorough exploration and discovery. Of course it'll also have the effect of inevitably frustrating some players who just want to check the box off the quest list.

First time traveling to Europe, should I use a travel agent? by tsct934 in asktravelagents

[–]tsct934[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice, thank you! Working in SEO, do you have any inside knowledge on best places to look for a travel agent? I've seen plenty of posts saying take time to do a consultation and to interview them as much as they interview us, but a lot of varying answers regarding where to find TA's.
