I am probably going to give up on Encased. I find the extreme scarcity of healing adds nothing but frustration to the game.

Just like the TV stuff.

Sanderson working on a game but not on an IP we know or with the Devs we may think. Whatever Devs he thinks we think. https://www.gameinformer.com/2021/12/22/brandon-sanderson-author-of-mistborn-and-stormlight-archive-series-says-hes-working-on-a

Just realized it is that time of the year when I have to reinstall Saints Row 4 and play How The Saints Saved Christmas

I hate the barter system in Encased. It is like Fallout but not. When you add something on your side, the game doesn't automatically add cash on the merchant's side. You have to click a button for that. I keep giving away stuff for free.

Also remember: "Quitters can't lose."

I guess I did pick the right portrait.

So in Encased apparently there is a city called Crystal Sands. Question: If Shady should play Encased and really like it, will he change his name to Crystal?

Best line in Rogue Lords: "I heard you... you called me three times!" (Bloody Mary)

Simply to reduce spreadsheetness:

Did we talk about the trailer with no sound?

I don't have time for Wheel of Time. I have to watch serious shows. Like Die Rosenheim-Cops

I was given Wildermyth. I think the legacy thingie is done ok and the game is pretty. The writing I don't care all that much for.

I am ok with timers, soul-o-meters etc if it is pretty obvious they are there. I may decide a specific game uses them in a way I don't like. What I dislike is games that have hidden timers or just situational timers, where you don't know if you can take your time or not.

@Lexx we missed you yesterday in the first ever Obsidian Forum MW5 coop romp. Chill is the better pilot and the better shot. I am the better jump-jet-jumper and punch-other-mech-in-the-face-puncher.

Coop with @Chilloutman To quote him: "Was it worth it?"

That's a shame. I'd play a supernatural horror xcom game.

I'll send you a message when I'm back home. Currently in Germany lounging on my cousin's sofa, watching planet of the apes (the old one) with my nephew.

We should try Obsidian forum multiplayer MW5. Maybe if we get a lance of us together we'll learn to appreciate AI pilots

Tell me it's an xcom clone

Carnival in Cologne as a release date. That is ominous for Germans

Lexx, which area did you start in again in MW5 ?

And you guys didn't see the AI before it got improved...

Thinks that help with base destruction: If there is a light, on the building shoot the light. Often with towers some top floor bit may still be intact. It is silly. Punch through walls. The hotkey for punching is 5 in most loadouts (provided your mech has arms). Use Jump jets to jump onto stuff. Mechs weigh a lot and that will damage buildings. If bombardment is an option, take it. It won't help all that much, but it can knock out about 20% of a base.

Avoid base destruction missions. I have never had a lance mate get hit by artillery. You want to bee-line for it and take it out asap. Ignore the mission objective if there is artillery. No extra reinforcements for the opponent will spawn while you keep away from the waypoint, so all you have to handle is whatever army is already there. But base destruction is a pain. I have done a few, but they are some of the most painful missions I have done.
