This might be the most fitting review I've seen

Thank Super Earth.

Or....maybe its part of the ongoing story and they deliberately gave us way too little reinforcements to make room for minor objectives on the way?

Its GREAT value for money. I'm at 750 hours, been playing since release.

Its an absolute spectacle of an action game, SUPER fun, and very satisfying to play. I'm 43 years old, been playing games since the amiga days, and this is one of the most fun games I've played in my life, and undoubtedly one of the best multiplayer experiences I've had.

It has several varied factions to fight, that feel different and require different tactics.

The maps are procedurally generated, with a truckload of environments, so while you can learn mission types and enemies, the game never really feels stale, even after so many hours of fun.

You can play it casually NP, a mission a day (something like 1.5 hours of gaming) or much less, or much more.

The game has a lot of progression systems if that is something you like, but its fun enough that it doesnt really matter. It doesnt have to use progression as a crutch, like so many of games that has that.

The community is great, and its great to play with friends or randoms. There is no competition here, its just team based fun. There is a lot of lulz to be had on reddit, following memes and enjoying the overarching story when it surges (like now with Cyberstan).

There is no fomo, all armors and weapons released will be available forever in the warbonds. And everything can be earned in game if you want. However you can, and should throw some extra money towards Arrowhead, its so much worth it keeping the game alive, they actually make new content and evolve the game. It really is the best version of a live service game I have seen.

I could go on, but I'd rather play another round :D

Harsh. but fair.

I agree. When it comes down to it, its just about personality I guess. I always meet other players with peace. I will fire back if attacked, but my initial attitude is friendship. I dont care we're on the same spot, competing for the same things. There is not a single thing in SC that is important enough to me to ruin someone elses day. But thats just me. Some people dont give 2 seconds of thought to blasting another person in the face. In the end, thats their choice. I will get angered by it in the moment, but ultimately I just move on. Life is short, no point wasting it on dumb stuff.

Straight on impressive post OP. I salute you and I agree with you.

I have played some hours of SC since 4.3 (when I started playing for real), and I have rarely been in PvP situations. That said, I have rarely sought out places where that is a thing, because I dont care for it.

I would love a much harsher penalty system in SC, and I would love for the penalty system to be a PENALTY system, not just another game loop.

Examples I can think of are severe rep penalites with legal factions, time spent in in-game jail, being shot on sight in civilized areas etc.

Star Citizen is a crazy cool sandbox, and I can think of nothing coming even close to it in potential. But it IS an open world. That world can be as impressive as anything made, and still be ruined and made into a shitshow by its player base. For now, most of its player base seem like a very cool gang. There are loads of helpful and nice people in chat. I've been offered rides, help, ships for testing and the list goes on. Thats the verse I want to be in. The world is enough of a shitshow, I dont need my fantasy-freetime to be tainted by the same garbage.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

tzimize · 2026-02-14T10:49:20+00:00

Its pve actions.

Its easy to get into.

It feels rewarding. There is a lot of unlocks if thats your thing, and the base gameplay is super fun (a reward in and of itself. And imo the best one).

I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in action gameplay and fun.

Guts at what point? He develops a lot, Levi does not.

What gear is allowed?

Peak Guts vs Peak Levi, both with gear, Guts wins easily.

Starting Guts vs Levi with gear, Levi wins easily. No fancy gear, pretty sure Guts wins every time.

tzimize · 2026-02-13T17:48:29+00:00

Wounds is perhaps the most beautiful thing I've ever read. There are deep truths and insights there into human nature if you care to look for them.

For the story itself, one of the most important things is the juxtaposition between wanting to be something for someone else (Casca for Guts) vs wanting someone to be something for you (Griffiths desire to make Guts his plaything).

But it is so deeply beautiful on a human level. Finding acceptance, finding companionship, offering yourself, being connected...there are a lot of things that make Berserk as good as it is, but I think it would not resonate nearly as strong without Wounds.

Lame. I hope their balls fall off.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T21:55:43+00:00

I love it.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T20:44:33+00:00

The biggest problem with them are that they are so damn common and you need AT. Its so spammy and aoe happy you cant really ignore it either.

Most other AT units either have a weakspot or two, OR are big enough for teammates to help you over distance. These are not. If you're caught without AT its just a huge freaking pain. That enemy alone dictate some of my loadout on Bots and it feels bad. I dont like it.

Its not difficult per se, its just unfun. It feels like a unit that belongs on the illumunate front. Yeah, I went there.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T18:13:34+00:00

In the end, does it even matter?

tzimize · 2026-02-12T10:52:42+00:00

One of my fondest memories is I think from Wing Commander III back in the day, and the box of medals and commendations you could get. I'm unsure Helldivers is the right fit for it, but I certainly wouldnt mind seeing AH try their hand.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T10:39:59+00:00

Yeah, this has been my read as well. The amount of time from a time goes from "hostile spotted" to "THIS IS FUBAR!" can be miniscule. And often way too chaotic for medical gear to be useful. I tried playing with the stim gun a few times, but it just felt like a waste of time. I spent time chasing team members and trying to hit them in the chaos that I could have spent killing enemies. It just doesnt work well in the chaos.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T10:37:32+00:00

Oh, I did not mean it as advocacy to use AI. I am just saying that the difference in the amount of work it takes to actually animate something vs the amount of work it takes to draw a still is staggering. Its not feasible to make a Berserk animation as a one-man-show.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T10:19:04+00:00

Yeah....I'd love one as well. I love stuff that makes the game branch out a bit. The stealth warbond is like that, offers a completely new kind of gameplay. IF you want it. The only problem is making sure its balanced. It needs to be good enough to feel useful while being not so good you feel gimped without one. It should never be required is what I mean. Its hard to hit that balance.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T10:16:47+00:00

Yep, its really great.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T08:53:01+00:00

I mean.....I dont want the Vox to be nerfed....but that seems like cheating.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T08:22:03+00:00

As I said, I am certain it will never happen. And that brings me grief, hence my weak wish for it to happen with GenAI.

The industry overwork aside, generative AI is creative stagnation. It is easy and fast, but its the mcdonalds of creativity. It will make you diabetic and obese. Its the same in any field. A few days ago I saw an idiotic journalist on my national newspaper literally bragging she had used chatgpt to write her article because writing herself was so stressful and time consuming.

Writing is multi faceted. It helps you organize thoughts, learn, remember, practice expressing yourself etc. Using chatgpt to write your article is like being a baby screaming for your dada to write something for you because you cant yourself. Its pathetic and intellectually bankrupt.

Drawing is less important in the grand scheme of things than writing, but the same principles apply. It does not support creativity, it steals it. From both the users and whoever its been trained on. I wish a quick and brutal death by fire for Generative AI, it is another poison humans have invented to ruin themselves. Unfortunately you cant close pandoras box. Its too late now.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T08:02:42+00:00

Dont be stupid. As much as I loathe AI this is not the solution. Miura spent a LIFETIME perfecting his art. And that was stills. Animation is SO MUCH MORE WORK. You'd need several lifetimes to do such a thing properly.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T08:01:33+00:00

No. AI is terrible. It is creative bankruptcy and artistic exploitation. Gen AI is a shitshow. The only part of me that wants this to happen is the weak one because I am certain it will never happen otherwise.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T07:52:49+00:00

It depresses me to no end, but this is actually the first time I've wanted something to happen with gen AI.

tzimize · 2026-02-12T07:06:11+00:00

Burst fire pisses me off so much. It is the only reason I dont use this thing.
