Nah it's usually because the boss is ridiculously hard and I give up for like 6 years, randomly dust off the old console, see the game cartridge, feel this insane anger rise as I think of my humiliating defeat years prior, then I go to send that fucker back to Hell

Gaming / Re: Battlefront Demo Discussion Thread
« on: October 12, 2015, 12:27:05 AM »
So when can we be real about battlefront 2 like people are with Halo 2?

Most of the maps were shit, the gameplay was a downgrade from battlefront 1, space battles may as well have been called boarding ship battles, the only game mode worth playing was conquest, heroes were completely broken and ruined the flow of every map, and you handicapped yourself in galactic conquest if you allowed your faction to use anything other than the trooper and engineer.
What really changed about the gameplay? If there was a way to handicap yourself in galactic conquest, I never noticed, seemed easy to begin with.

Removal of prone, removal of a good first person mode, power ups gained from time sunk into the game made it heavily unbalanced, heroes were completely broken and ruined the flow of the maps, reduced emphasis on combined arms and an increased presence of infantry only maps.

In GC the ai sucked (even more than it already did) when using any class other than trooper and engineer. So buying the other classes was tantamount to filling your side of the battle with walking free kills.

I wish we still had prone. Me and my brother would get on top of the tunnels on bespin's platforms and snipe the droids coming in. 10/10 would play again

Gaming / Re: So what's the verdict on Battlefront (if there is one, yet)?
« on: October 11, 2015, 12:47:08 PM »
Only in relation to something mechanical, such as clunky controls or impossibly long button prompts/mashes.

I hate button masher sequences, but they aren't defaulted to being bad; I'm just not a fan of their usual applications. I might say something about them, but it wouldn't affect my perception of the game (unless the games was nothing BUT button mashing sequences)
i see

anyway, i think his issue is simply you calling them "non-issues", with your only qualifier being that there are ways to counteract those issues

like, perhaps he's arguing that there should be more ways to counteract

i haven't played the demo myself, so i feel silly even partaking in this, but yeah
this conversation is intriguing because it deals with that player/game fault relationship
It isn't accurate to just say "counteract",  admittedly; if I wasn't participating on top banter with Tru, and I was honestly arguing the point, I would have worded that more delicately.

Non-issues (on this topic) relate to things that are either unrelated to the gameplay (why are Vader's lines so corny? Why is the Star Destroyer apparently in-atmosphere?), are not the fault of the game itself (kamikaze), or are so petty that it's pointless to argue (can be related to point one; "why are there female stormtroopers on hoth" is a popular reason on /v/ at the moment).
the female stormtroopers are pretty dumb, though.
501st was groundside on Hoth. Most of them were the Fett template of clone.

"Most" being the key word. By the time of Episode IV, most of the Stormtrooper outfit was composed of different clone templates or recruits. It's not against canon to say that some of the stormtroopers on Hoth were female.
The Empire didn't allow females in its military ranks, maybe noncombat roles, but unless they were Palpatine's assassins they weren't there.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Essential_Guide_to_Warfare

They were rare under Palpatine's supervision, apparently no more than three per legion. But they were still a thing.

EDIT: Just linked the book for the sake of pointing out where I got this from. If you're interested in reading about that kind of shit and you don't a have a books-a-million or something with it in stock near you, I'm sure there's a pdf somewhere online.
Is that even canon? Still, it's pretty unfitting with how Palpatine ran his empire and all that.
What is canon at this point? 99% of the things people talk about are covered in the Legacy-EU. I wish they would have left some of it alone, at least the pre-movie universe.

But with this, it's because there was a clone revolt on Kamino (that led to the cloning facilities being destroyed). That's why they stopped making Fett clones and started making a variety of templates and recruiting via propaganda.
Going by old canon, the actual reason was that the Empire switched from purely Kamino to cheaper, mass-produced clones just in time for the battle of Coruscant. These clones were poorer in quality, and the Empire eventually realized that wasn't fantastic to have mass quantities of clones that can't aim for shit, and started the recruitment program were Imperial citizens could finally join the military in direct combat roles. I'm not sure if the recruitment started around the time of the Kamino revolt, but it certainly would've been more of a push for the Empire to recruit.

Also doesn't help that the kid's cartoon show had a habit of constantly fucking up the lore.

But yeah, they're going to do what they want now, and I suppose it's anyone's guess as to what the canon Empire's military qualifications are or were. Still, a solace is that every Stormtrooper in the first 3 films is male.

Kyle Katarn was a stormtrooper, so yeah using Imperial citizens was way better.
