By s y Go To PostI'd definitely buy Siege at $20. Had fun during the free weekend.I think originally I paid 25 quid for it on PS4 and 16 quid on PC. I think it's weird that the price has gone up for it over the last two years.

Now it’s one of the more popular games, of course it’s not gonna be as cheap

I mean, true, but still. Games in the UK usually go down in price and stay down. They don’t go back up to MSRRP 2 years after release.
Bayo 2 is fun as hell. Improves on so much of the BS from the first game. The camera isn't as jank and there are no instadeath QTEs. Seems a bit easier than the first, I probably should have played on hard.
What an awesome game.

CSGO and Overwatch are the only other two that aren’t expected to have a sequel after two years
Idk what OW sales look like but I remember getting CS for $3.75 but since 2014 it’s been 7.50 at minimum

I’m more than a little bit worried that the new season is going to heavily favour attackers. Two new attackers with pretty much global effects and the Blitz buff. Shit might be a bit rough.
Though I think Blitz needed a buff to be honest, but they should’ve made him a two speed in the first place instead of adding that shield sprint.
Lion especially is going to get nerfed. I guarantee it. They’ll make it so his scan doesn’t have a live update. It’ll be too exploitable otherwise.
Every time I see R6S my primary question is what in fuck's name is going on with the lighting?
That and does anyone die not getting shot through a wall?

We'll see an increase in trap operators on the defender side to counter the rush-y nature of the new operators, gu mines alone would nullify Finka's adrenal surge. I'm not too worried about Lion's ability, it gives a warning, lasts 4 seconds and its counter is just standing still.
Having a Lion and Jackal (see what ubisoft did there) on a team on the other hand, I feel sorry for anyone who tries to roam. Would only work with a co-ordinated team though, not randoms since you need them both to activate their gadgets at the same time. Stay still or move, you're fucked anyway with that strat.

I mean there’s counters in place, but Lesion’s mines aren’t gonna be enough to counter 5 juiced up attackers. Neither is the Yokai with Echo. That said, I feel like Finka’s more of a niche attacker, an operator that gives the opportunity to break through a stalled out attack.
Reviving downed team mates tho, not fond of that idea.
Lion has a lot of synergy potential that’ll make him too strong. There’s plenty of ways to get a defender to move. Grenades, cluster charges, shield operators, etc. I don’t think it’ll a problem for most players, but at higher level and coordinated play, he has the potential to be very strong.
I love Burnout Paradise, but they want $40 for an upscaled port with little actual remastering? Ehhh.
By Laboured Go To PostI just started replaying Resident Evil 5 on PC in downsampled 4K at 144fps and let me tell you I am quite enjoying myself.I'll allow it, if you're cooping it. Did it myself last year, was fun.

Lion will have a 100% ban rate at higher levels anyway. For casual levels, Lion will be a great quality of life boost for bad players. The roam game just destroys bad teams/players in general. His ability will inevitably be completely reworked because you're never gonna get a chance to use him.
Finka will be fine. Most OP thing with her will just be instant reviving downed teammates and that'll mostly be what people save it for. Because rushing through a well defended area--having better recoil and a little more health isn't going to do much against guys who have angles on your point of entry.
I'm a fan of the Blitz buff. He's still going to be a rare pick anyway.
By YungMagus Go To PostLFK whats your favourite KoF?I dunno, maybe 97 because it’s almost the same thing as 98 but with a plot.
Hard Mode: Besides 98?
I also have fond memories of 94 because there was a pizza place near my school and that was the only thing they had, and even though it was old and crusty my friends and I all got way into it because it was the only thing nearby. Everyone had their own team (respect to the dude who took the sports team), we’d goof on all the crazy things the characters said, lose our minds when anyone connected with one of the impossible supers, etc. It led us to getting really into the Fatal Fury anime for naked Mai and rewatching the power geyser/raging storm scenes a stupid amount of times like only teenagers can.
XI seems like it should be up there, but I didn’t play it enough and nobody ever talks about it so I dunno. 2002 is the other one that everyone seems to like but I haven’t played it.
By s y Go To PostPut in so many hours on BP. It was sooooooooooo ahead of its time.I played through it on Xbox and PC. Whatever, I'll probably play it again.

Watching that and all I'm thinking is why the hell didn't they shoot his damn legs?
Still, would rather see him have 2 speed/ 2 armour and just ditch the sprinting shield thing. Save that for a new shield operator that can break down unreinforced walls and barricades with a shield/gadget and let that one have the sprint ability too to give the operator a unique edge.
By Kuma Go To PostIs Shadow of War just as good as Modor?Slightly better due some more interesting approaches and game play options.
Still an overblown OW title that should have been cut in half and used those ressources on a better storyline/animations among other things.

thinking Ela should get her old concussion grenade strength back after this nerf--her utility is kind of eh now otherwise
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthinking Ela should get her old concussion grenade strength back after this nerf–her utility is kind of eh now otherwise
Eh, to be honest I don't really understand what Ubi was going for with Ela originally. I've always been a proponent of buffing/nerfing gadget/utility over buffing/nerfing weapons, but they really went hard on making sure Ela was overpowered af in both areas.
Always felt like her gun should be more in line with the P90's DPS and her gadget should be strong enough that she's worth taking for the utility alone, but frankly I think Lesion's mines do a better job than Ela's concussion does.
3 traps, strong effect. High fire rate weapon to peek after the trap is set off to riddle the target with. I think that'd be good enough that she's a useful, albeit situational pick.
Edit: This I can get behind.

wtf at the original recoil pattern
why did that get through initial testing and balance passes?
By Kibner Go To Postwtf at the original recoil patternSurprisingly, a lot of the weapons in Siege have recoil like the one on the left. It's literally a case of just pulling downwards to varying degrees with a mouse.
why did that get through initial testing and balance passes?
Buck's C8 and Twitch FAMAS both have a tonne of recoil but it's pretty much 99% vertical. Really easy to control. I'm terrible at recoil compensation too, so it's gotta be easy if even I can do it.
Still waiting on that set recoil pattern update they were looking into/testing last year.
By Kibner Go To Postwtf at the original recoil pattern

CS recoil x 3. I have a hard time believing that pattern isn't a huge bug or something though.

Honestly, I think stuff like Echo's drone and Ella's concussion mines should really be DEVASTATING to walk into. Like, lasts for 30 seconds levels of disorientation AND not even giving the player the option to fire their gun for lucky cheese shots. Reason being, Siege is the type of game where watching someone hit a trap and then running into clean it up is really hard to do. Even as Echo when you're in position to take advantage, it can be really risky to go in there to clean up the kill because quite frankly the disorientation isn't nearly strong enough. And with Ella's mines, you really have to be camping right by a spot to take advantage, which is difficult with the anti roam utility attackers have these days.
Lesion works because of the sheer amount of traps he gets, on top of the HUD utility given to at least pin point where exactly the enemy activated the trap.

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostCS recoil x 3. I have a hard time believing that pattern isn't a huge bug or something though.I'd meant you half way and say about 10 seconds. Reason being, it'd make them a viable alternative to Smoke's grenades to deny a defuser plant or entry in general.

I think they nailed it with Lesion, he's a completely viable alternative to Smoke for stalling and denying plants, with his niche being that the Gu traps are more effective against shields than the Smoke's grenades are.
Echo's Yokai can win rounds, but outside of the last 5-10 seconds of the round its viability is limited. Use it and you risk losing it. As it is, the drone becomes very easy to spot for any attacker disorientated by it. If they changed that aspect of it and made the stun more effective too. I think he'd be in a really good spot.
Playing Mankind Divided. Outside of watching a m8 play Human Revolution, I haven't touched the series since the original Dues Ex. Gonna give it some more time, but I feel like I'm just going through the motions, atm.
