Also emp on stratagem call-in seems fun, but is a much lower priority than the usual (enhanced stims, pod optimization, anti-chip damage, and stamina recovery)
I find the pod optimization to be a bit more so so now a days. It saves from calling a resupply at the start, but many of the new maps are urban and have more goodies lying around.
I could never get into Stellaris, or most other Paradox games for that matter. I have a thing where I want the complete experience on my first playthrough, and Paradox’s DLC practices are like anti-catnip for me. I can’t enjoy the base game because I keep thinking of what all I’m missing out on, but the game with all DLCs is overwhelming for a newbie.
Side note, I got excited seeing this post’s thumbnail because I thought you were playing Starsector. Great game if you haven’t picked it up yet, one of those indie games that does a half-dozen genres and does them well.
Yup, I had this exact issue with this game and everything paradox. I can’t enjoy it if I feel I’m not getting a complete experience, and if doing so means buying a hundred bullshit DLC, I’m out.
This is a fair point, though I will say for most Paradox games the majority of the changes come out in free updates when the DLCs drop. And I’ve found (coming from Europa Universalis IV) that there are only a few crucial DLCs that really feel necessary to the experience, many just add cosmetics or minor changes that get balanced out with free updates anyway.
Doesn’t solve the problem, you still feel like you’re missing out, but for example EUIV has like 20 DLCs, only 5 or so I would consider mandatory, and they go on sale in packs so often I don’t think I’ve paid more than $50 for the full game and all necessary DLCs for any paradox game.
Have you looked at itch.io’s list of games in the genres you like playable in web browsers? Found a few hidden gems in other genres (e.g. idlers) there.
Shotgun Cop Man. Short sweet and simple from the people that made My Friend Pedro. The movement system and level design feels pretty sublime when you get in a good flow. And I just discovered there’s Steam Workshop levels!
thats what i was wondering too, the other guard dogs friendly fire all the time, but arc weapons normally one shot helldivers. im hoping that they either only shoot away from you or they do reduced damage to helldivers
Spider-Man 2 has a cool thing where every single boss has at least 3 health bars technically. You beat it the first time and then a cutscene, then you beat it a second time and you get a cutscene, and then you beat it for a third time and you again get a cutscene.
The final boss is especially annoying, where it does that same thing but just 10 times (no joke).
The fights play out pretty similar too, which doesn’t help.
Spider-Man is one of the few games that I loved the long drawn out battles in, they made the combat in those games so much fun, and it made it feel like a proper comic book superhero fight.
Finished playing through Atomic Heart, and because of that wanted to play a game that was, you know, actually fun instead of a miserable slog, so I’ve been playing Crab Champions and playing the original BioShock again for the millionth time. Sometimes Sea of Thieves.
