    So I've been playing Rising Storm 2 lately. While the gameplay and gunplay feels more solid than in RS1 so far, one of the most noticeable cons is that the voice acting isn't nearly as good as in RS1/RO2, partially due to Tripwire's CEO becoming a rather hardcore Christian, and thus, putting limits on the amount of swearing characters can do in their games. Despite these all being games that are about either massive wars or zed apocalypses wherein a lot of living beings get shredded to very tiny bits. It's a good thing that despite that, that the playerbase of Rising Storm 2 does a stand-up job in filling in the voice acting gaps left by Tripwire in almost every round.

     

    His evangelicalism is pretty recent though. They didn't even say that bad of swear words in RO2/RS1 but the complete lack of death speeches is disappointing so far. The biggest issue so far besides performance (which is going to be addressed soon anyways) is just the lack of night maps. I want the addition of the Starlight.

     

    I personally think the gameplay is not as great as the original, mainly due to the focus on squad tactics and search and destroy missions (which is accurate to the time), but also is harder to make the really focused pushes that were common in RO2 and RS1. I can't stand playing without being a squad leader because apparently nobody knows how to do proper marks or make tunnels.


  2. I have the starter set for Android Netrunner, and I've found that there's very few decks that are both balanced and fun to play within just the starter set. Also net damage is fucking bullshit.

    Oh god, I do hope it at least reduces the amount of RPGmaker games.

     

    Not that its a bad engine, LISA was made on it, but there are so many half-assed, unfinished, glitched piles of shit that only uses stock assets with the most uninspired stories ever made.

     

    That occurs with any game engine with many stock assets or free assets that are easily accessible. Free assets and engines with little to no programming requirements reduce the barrier of entry and allow shovelware to be put out quickly.


  4. But if everyone can rep 15 times a day, wouldn't it be more efficient to keep additional members so we can mutually rep each other as needed. You would only be losing out on rep if everyone were to systematically rep 15 other people every day, making sure not to repeat members until every member has been repped. Having more people around actually would promote making good posts by allowing more maximum rep to be earned in a single post.

    I was considering Jackal (neat guns) or Blackbeard (same + ability won't fuck your team over if you die). I know Valkyrie's really good but I feel that I don't know the maps well enough to get full use out of cameras and blocking someone competent from doing so, so she'll be soon, but not first.

     

    I still honestly don't think Blackbeard is good enough to justify 25k renown over a shield that literally gets 2 shot. It used to have something like 500 HP with 1 shield total but now its just 60 HP with 2 shields total. If you want something for corner peaking, Glaz does the job with smokes. Both fill the similar role of getting easy picks too. If you specifically want a DLC attacker I would go with Buck due to the pure versatility you have.

     

    I also forgot to mention Echo in the other post. Echo is strong when paired with a roamer or for just gaining intel. The main issue with the actual drone shockwave thing is that its strong but also in my opinion still possible to aim with it moderately well. However, getting hit by the drone and then having to deal with a Jaegar is basically a death sentence.

    For some reason I decided to start Half-Life: Opposing Force and I'm playing through it on hard.

     

    Hot damn you guys weren't lying. 30 damage from vortiguants? These things mess you up.

     

    game gets stupidly easy once you get the shock roach

    Really though, I'm shit at the game and I can barely run it but it's fun. Got about 8k renown and thinking about what my first DLC operator will be.

     

    current meta strongly strongly favors valkyrie because having cameras placed anywhere is insanely useful. outside of that hibana can be useful for making reinforced walls even more obsolete. mira is also a p strong choice just due to how versatile her mirrors can be along with how great the vector is.

     

    frost used to be super strong but i personally think that with a little game sense the traps can be completely avoided against a decently coordinated team. buck plays a lot like sledge but maybe a little bit more versatile because of the weapon choices. blackbeard used to have a super good shield but now its just two 60 hp shields. caveira can be a solid roamer but others have more solid guns and abilities like jaegar or bandit. jackal can be good as an anti-roamer but thats about it.

    Rising Storm GOTY Edition for free now on Humble Store for next 48h from this post.

     

    It's a good game. Tactical shooter set in both the eastern front and Pacific fronts of WWII. The sequel set in Vietnam is coming out in a few days too.
