    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    She has daddy and mommy issues, also a bit of a Mary Sue. The vampire hunters don't kill her purely because the new guy who just joined only has two ways of saying "Please don't kill her, she's plot important" and nothing else, them choices and consequences.

    Oh they fixed it, it did have a buy button where you could save 0% on it.

    Brian Menze Interview, New Vegas for sale

    Heh, had a similar toy raygun to the original Pulse Pistol except it shot little sparks and went wizz rather than shot hot pulsey death at super mutants. Fan of both really, though the L.A.E.R reminds me of Captain Scarlet for some reason.

    Kotaku returns to Fallout: New Vegas

    In related news Fallout NV: Ultimate edition is 50% on the Steam Halloween sales. TF2 is on sale as well for some reason despite being free.

    Game journalism is a disgrace

    Can you show the jury where on this doll was Kharn manipulating you?

    Actual, turn-based strategy X-Com sequel in the works

    Basic .ini editing and texture fiddling so far. No official word on mod tools yet but they have said maybe.

    Could wait for the DLC, get some Triad in yo XCOM.

    Actual, turn-based strategy X-Com sequel in the works

    Just too add some conflicting tactics to the mix. I prioritise a Thermo Generator, Uplink and an Officers Training School first, having six guys instead of four makes the tactical combat so much easier, did my first Terror Mission with 5 dudes with normal gear and two sets of carapace armour...

    Actual, turn-based strategy X-Com sequel in the works

    In response to one of those I am keen to try an all rookie terror mission and see what happens.

    [spoiler:3aabfd2662][/spoiler:3aabfd2662] Squaddie pulling of a long range reaction shot with a pistol against a cyberdisc (who get extra cover when in disc form) and hits. Okay only one damage but man this guy is a pro. Just a shame he had moved so couldn't use his rifle.

    GOG.com Pay-What-You-Want Interplay Sale

    You can pop by the GoG forums as well, they usually have some information on trickier to run games.

    One of the upgrades ups the crit chance meaning they can do 7 damage. Managed 4 with a laser pistol when a Chrysalid jumped my sniper which isn't too shabby.

    Actual, turn-based strategy X-Com sequel in the works

    Realistically hip firing a rifle is about as accurate as trying to scope shot the target anyway. :P The normal pistol is crap but wack on some Foundry upgrades and use laser or plasma pistols and suddenly the piddly sidearm ain't so piddly.

    Luck of the draw plays a big part in it I think, currently only lost India in the third month and no more since but did have 3 panicking countries almost every month. Luckily usually had Terror Missions in 5 panic countries and completing those calms the entire continent down a tad. Saving...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Lack of Johnny Depp is odd but a plus :P. After seeing a few more trailers of it Frankenweenie does look mighty interesting.

    It's easily moddable, fair few mods remove the % bonus on classic so it isn't much work to lower it a tad. Just had my third loss on my Classic run. Goliath 1 bravely got hit by Support Major Crazy Dave hitting a close by power core while missing (along with everyone else) a drone. Then...

    Actual, turn-based strategy X-Com sequel in the works

    Classic adds mucho % to aliens aim and crit ratings because it likes you so much. Remove it and Thin Men suddenly aren't @#&%ing frustrating anymore. Well less so... slightly. Taking on da alien base, using nothing but 5 dudes and a robot I really want to rename. Worst enemy so far has been...

    Brian Fargo on combat, perma-death in Wasteland 2

    I'm hoping for some tasty toaster repair action as well. There was a legend in the wastes, where many cried at their lack of toasty action due to malfunctioning kitchen appliances one man took up the call. They called him, Toaster Repair Guy.

    You forgot to speak in the third person. Anyone got a spare support? I only have one and a zillion snipers and heavies. Alternative tactics for the support, they make sodding good flankers. The smoke grenade coupled with the faster movement means they are damn good at battlefield control.
