Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

@Dustcan  
I knoe you did. You even bought Snek Squad when it was only 10 bux. I’m telling the guys who are STILL on the fence about Firaxis’ XCOM 2.
 
That moment when your prized sniper chain snipes an entire pod is hard to beat. Or when you cried thanking GOD that your 40% chance to hit landed a crit and killed the sectoid who would have otherwise mind controlled your ranger and fuck your day.

@tehwatever  

 
I bought it twice.
 
No regrets.
 

 
Jokes on you, you save the sectoid for last because you want the sectoid to waste his turn MC one of your guys just so you can gank him on your turn and get your boy back on your same turn.
 
One of the first patches in XCOM 2 was actually to lower the chance of a sectoid rolling a MC because the devs realized players were exploiting the exact above scenario. Instead they’re now more likely to just shoot you.

@Dustcan  
Why did you buy it twice?

@icey wicey 1517
 
For my brother.
 
Unfortunately it was only for a digital copy so I couldn’t get a disk to smash into a fine powder to snort.
 
XCOM is a good high man.

I’m only partway through my 106% run of Crash 4, and I already broke 4 fingers doing so.
 
Me thinks this may not be worth it.

Asari are just squids in human suits.

@Meanlucario  
laughs You never heard of an Inkling before have you?

@igotnopicks  
That disproves my point how?

@Meanlucario  

 
hentai happy noises

@Meanlucario  
Inklings are literal squids in human suits and they come from Earth.

@igotnopicks  
Technically they’re slimes in were-squid suits.

@QuasarNova  
Seeing as porn was likely an inspiration for the asari…

@Penguin Dragneel  
Make that 5.

ME3’s multiplayer doesn’t want to work with me for some reason.

 
It’s finally happening.

@Dustcan  
How was it nerfed?

@Meanlucario
 
There’s deactivation conditions incoming. The image ^{if you squint} shows them.

@Dustcan  
And for use who don’t want to squint?

@Meanlucario
 
Absolute Immortality ^{Let’s be real, that’s what it was} deactivates if the survivor does any of:
 
Repairing  
Healing  
Totem cleansing  
Hook sabotage  
Unhooking

@Dustcan  
So anything a survivor wants to do. I they they just killed one of the most used perks in the game with one update.

@Meanlucario
 
It was supposed to be a defensive, anti-tunneling perk. Something there to punish killers for hyperfocusing one guy.
 
In practice it was an offensive, ‘fuck you I’m invincible’ perk. More than once I saw someone unhook right in front of me, literally after I just hooked a guy and haven’t even had time to turn around, grab them only to eat a stun while they then finish unhooking. And there’s countless other times when someone with it would actively bait me just so they can hit the stun.
 
Now it’s closer to what it should be.

@Dustcan  
I watch Otz. I know how abused it was, and why it was a meta perk.

@Meanlucario
 
Incidentally searching chests is still fine. And locker techs.

@DeathCloud
 
I agree.
 
@Meanlucario
 
If you did that sidequest and did the dialogue options with the other survivors, you’d find out that as per standard sci-fi sneaky bastard tropes, they were trying to figure out how to weaponise Thresher Maws.
 
@Dustcan
 
I can bring in my mate Smudboy if you’d like
 
@Meanlucario
 
All of the Cerberus experiments you encountered in the first game were immense fuckups on their part that got their scientists and other personnel killed, often in horrible ways. The second game would have us believe that they could cure death and build a betterer Normandy without fucking anything up.
 
The easy fix: in ME2 have it be another nefarious group that resurrects Shepard and rebuilds the Normandy. There was no reason that it had to be Cerberus. Granted, there was no reason to either kill or resurrect Shepard either, but I digress.
 
While I agree that humanity getting a seat on the council in the first game is silly, it’s only really one small aspect of said game. How you convince the council of Saren’s guilt (with an audio recording) is also really silly and strains credulity, but doesn’t justify the stupid shit done in the sequels.

ME has quality waifu ngl.  
Thicc squid girl and thicc hijab girl and thicc AI girl DAMN, Got errything I need.
