Halo Wars

the balancing is laughable, but it's still fun

You act like there is some semblance of balance in that game at all

Indeed.

I hope CA irons out alot of that shit in HW2. The spartan+tank rush was just insane in HW1, and it wasn't particularly difficult either. The game basically revolved around rushing and spamming.

The lack of actual objectives around the maps gave no incentive other than to play cheap and/or spam units to the enemy base. If I managed to survive the starting bullshit of a multiplayer game, I either built scarabs or spam dropped shit tons of ODSTs and just placed the marker at the enemy base. War of attrition got the job done on players who lost their initial cheap plays.

Yeah. IT never felt geared for strategy. If I played with friends, we'd try to co-ordinate but it would just eventually devolve into spamming all units orders to spam attack specififc enemies. The awful AI pathfinding didn't help, either.

Anything under 16 is the epitome of degeneracy.
no one gives a fuck about your middle school ideals

Wouldn't doing it as young as possible to show off how cool you are be schoolkid ideals?
depends on what type of kid you were

there are plenty who followed rules, laws, and policies to a t

In my general experience, you were a s00per c00l d00de if you did it at the age of 15

I was one of the kids who followed rules and shit. Never understood the attraction to doing stupid shit.

well it depends. do you live in a city or something where you dont have to drive around, or in an area where everything is out of walking distance?
The latter, with the exception of my university.

The biggest impetus I have is knowing that I'm a burden on others. Normally, I carpool to college, but if my crew is unavailable, I usually have to get my mother to drive me instead. Embarrassing, and burdensome, but that's why I'm starting to learn.

People act like I can just get a license whenever. No, uh, I have to actually learn first. And I'm not one of those faggots who just wants to get a license and be done with it--I want to be absolutely sure that I'm comfortable on the road, or I'm never driving.

Sounds better moyivation than  me, my father wants to pay for me to drive so I can drive him to the pub.

Well in less than a decade he united all the tribes to march against the NCR. That's something, right?

Spoiler
The best we got was "They changed the religion to Christianity and moved Rome to Constantinople and there was this king named Justinian who had a cool wife. He was a good king and stuff".

That was it.

The entirety of my education on Rome from my life boiled down to THESE GUYS R BAD LOOK CRUCIFY! With no real analysis or in-depth study. Same for the Vikings, the Anglo-Saxon stuff and the Wars of the Roses. That last one is kind of ridiculous that we never covered it considering I fucking live in Yorkshire, where the House of YORK was based.

But at least I got to learn how bad it was for Britain in WWII because they had to sleep in a subway for a bit. Those fuckers getting tortured and executed in Japan? Nah, they had it easy. Never got a mention because of how bad they like to play it out as london being the most important place in WWII.  I believe that's why people never even hear of the Russian Front and are surprised the Russians did most of the work in Europe; because schools love to big up the part about how we were so badly done to. I'm actually pretty sure that my schools were scared of showing us anything that might be constituted as violent because all my history topics were about the glorious industrial revolution and suffragettes and shit. All the boring bits of history, livened only by the promise of Germany between both world wars.

So yeah, I have a lot of problems with how my schools (at least) taught history.

I'm better at academic stuff. Like, I could give a pretty good conversation on something like particle physics or computing, but I don't really do the whole social thing well.

I love how the Mass Effect lore just went downhill after #1 as the writers tried to scramble to paste new ideas over the framework built for a different plot and try to make it make sense. It's adorable.

Spring 2016 - New content rumoured to be on the way, again for free

It better be Golmud and Shanghai night maps. I've waited too long for those ;-;

But yeah, most companies would just do what 343 or WB did with MCC and Arkham Knight and try to slip it under the rug in favour of the next release. Funny how he spergs out any time battlefield is mentioned, though.

The descent of Tali

Mass Effect 1: Quirky tech girl

Mass Effect 2: Typical shy girl crush

Mass Effect 3: 16 year old girl

Kinda miss dusty old ruins Liara.
Liara was one of the more consistent characters of the series. Her and Garrus.

Ashley also managed to be a cunt through and through. I honestly don't know what is more satisfying. Letting her ass fry on Virmire or getting to put a bullet right between her bitch eyes myself.

try not to cut yourself on that edge

Are you implying Ashley isn't the worst human being in the series next to Udina?

Still, this rumor alone makes me happy. I swear if we got another AAA modern/future military FPS, I'd kill myself.

Odds are it's not true though.

Yeah but battlefield was the progenitor of the near future fps with 2142 so a successor is pretty logical -especially with what we got in the Final Stand DLC

Besides, future war themes are really boring if you don't go in for mechs and hovertanks and cool aircraft - that's basically what battlefield revolves around.

« on: February 28, 2016, 04:01:05 PM »
I will say I find it easier to RP in TES than in Fallout. I guess there's something about a world where the PC gets abducted by aliens, peoples heads explode after taking a bullet to the face and a system that allows you to pause time to let RNG decide your battles for you that kills some immersion for me. I still massively prefer the lore - I generally find post-apocalyptic settings, particularly one as unique as Fallout's, more interesting than high fantasy.

sovereign came because of the geth contacted him.

I must have missed that bit. I thought it was just the 50k year cycle at its end and after ME1 we got ourselves some sudden death time to try and fight off the actual attack.

your 50000 year remind that it's the quarians fault the reapers came.
if it wasn't for the geth, sovereign would still be sleeping.

it is the quarians fault, they deserve to die.

Not really

They'd have still come regardless of the geth's involvement
