Lol I officially have no life. After 170 hours of MGS Peace Walker and insane boss farming I finally got all 400 AI boards and completed ZEKE. Man, I love my PSP.

It's kinda sad to see everything 100% because it means that I'm done.

Snake in battle dress reminds me of samurai XD

After excessive Peace Walker Custom boss battle grinding I finally got Peace Walker legs parts (it's a rare drop).

I found extremely useful technique of acquiring Cocoon (story and custom) Attack AI boards.
I'll put wall of text in the spoiler, maybe when I or anyone else will play PW from scratch they can use my guide:

How to get all ATTACK AI boards from Cocoon (story/custom)

Spoiler

It's impossible to get all Attack boards unless you destroy all Attack parts, so DO NOT shoot any Sense, Control & Mobility parts.
Destroy all gun ports (every single one of them!!!), lower hedgehogs, 1 or 2 lower Gatling guns, 4 upper machine guns, Main Cannon.
When Cocoon is in its first stand-by mode, climb the ladder and destroy as fast as you can ALL (≤10) remaining lower machine & Gatling guns.
Climb the next ladder, after Cocoon reactivation destroy upper Gatling guns, 2 hedgehogs and 2 missile pods.
If Cocoon goes into its second stand-by mode and you're not done yet, then shoot AI pod but DO NOT climb inside, shoot remaining Gatling guns and hedgehogs or missile pods and only THEN climb inside AI pod.
If you're out of time don't worry, you'll have the third Cocoon stand-by mode (last chance). Finish the job (100%) and climb inside AI pod, if you fail Cocoon will explode and with it 30 minutes of your life.

I've been looking for a good new game and it's been a long while since i've played a RTS game with a good story. Keep us posted if you get it up and running....

Iron Harvest Single-Player Review - IGN

If the RTS is dead, then Iron Harvest is some pretty slick necromancy.

www.ign.com

Will Do!

 

[SN2716057]

Welp, I tried to play Iron Harvest. I actually joined on the kickstarter a bit over 2 years ago, because it looked promising. Devs kept backers frequently updated, etc. So it releases the other day, I get my key from them for GOG...and it does not go beyond the Main Menu. No campaign, no profile, nothing.

Well, I did get to watch the credits, and see my name as a backer. Personally, I would rather play.

Just bitching because that's what I wanted to and tried to play. I already put a ticket in with GOG and KingArt. A number of people have the issue.

I say stay away from it for awhile.

Will do..n't. The story mode tutorial is ..annoying, so I started a skirmish. It works but I can't say too much about it..yet.

Just the beginning. I have to get used to the controls which isn't as intuitive as other games..orrr I haven't played many rts games much other than C&C.

Edit: I can't play more than 2 main missions, I guess that is it for now. More skirmish it is.

And Wasteland 3

I made an alternative intro for MSFS2020. It is in the spoiler and all I say is that it is safe at home

The F/A 18 on MFS 2020 flies much better in legacy mode, mainly because you can drop the landing gear
That's probably why I was having problems before.

 

[Brandenburg]

been playing xenonauts modded.. also playing a bit of battletech w/ the 3062 mod.. ive also played a few games of sins of the solar empire with the excellent fallen angels mod

 

[moproblems99]

LOL - that reminds me of F117A Stealth Fighter 2.0 + Falcon 4.0 by Micropose from the 1990's that I still have.

Wonder if they would still work under window 10 ???

I used to play the crap out of JSF in the mid 90s. Joint Strike Fighter I do believe.

 

[Rahnak]

Finished playing Shadow of a Tomb Raider last weekend. It was a good, entertaining game. Gotta say I'm still baffled as to why and how they're still doing those glorified death scenes three games in.

Since then I've decided to give Ys a try and picked up some of the first games. Been playing the first one and it was a really good surprise, I wasn't expecting to like this much.

That's a blast from the past that i had forgotten about.

I feel a bit dumb but how do I use legacy mode?

 

[Calmmo]

Finished Ghost of Tsushima after what feels like 2 months. Decent game, never quite managed to grab me tho. Also finished Catherine full body, that one took just 3 days.
Welcome change after Ghost.

Now theres only FF7 left. My PS4's last hurrah. Probably gonna sell it after im done with FF.

Thank you very much!

 

[rtwjunkie]

I'm closer in my quest to play Iron Harvest. GOG has been able to replicate the problem, and have notified King Art.

Now I just have to decide what to play. I think I'm going to load up Death Stranding.

 

[Brandenburg]

been playing Xenonauts.. damn that game can be frustratingly hard.. damn base assault had 18 aliens and a 8 or so of those where xeno spec ops types or leaders..started over on multiple saves several times.. and still lost two people.. i had 8 in all and before the guys even got moving 4 of them managed to get wounded.. sorta went down hill from there..

atleast it wasnt their military androids.. all my laser rifles did was piss them off in one mission.. even a rocket from my tank didnt kill them.. heavy laser and plasma sniper rifle was the only thing that slowed them down and even then.. took several hits

fun game and based on the only xcom game of the 90's.. but very tough

 

[robot zombie]

I haven't played a damned thing I meant to. Not a single game! And FO4 keeps trying to appease me with stupid, unfair legendaries. Didn't think I'd enjoy the deadeye laser musket as much as I did, but it takes away it's main drawback. Cranking up 6 rounds for that massive damage stack takes to long and aiming is about as slow. With auto slo-mo every time you sight, it's easy to stick every shot and do the slomo dance while you crank it back up, avoiding hits easily. You can pretty much run into a crowd of enemies and systematically take them out like you're in the matrix. You basically ride the effect from executing the first shot to setting up the second. You'll be ready for the next just in time for it to wear off, at which point you can almost immediately sight-up and trigger it again. So basically you're the master of time with a death beam.

Balanced mechanics...

It also gave me the craaaazy rare scattered automatic laser musket. Yes, there's a special automatic version of the laser musket. Basically sends continuous volleys of highly deadly, room-filling laser bursts. Flashlight of death. Shine it across the room. Again, balanced mechanics. I'm betting the majority of people who've put hundreds of hours in don't even know it exists. You're supposed to be able to get it from Sturges after taking down the 'tute with the MM, but that's never worked for me. Seems like most people don't think to talk to him anyway. It drops, but the odds are such that you're very lucky to find it in 1000 hours. It's like if the laser gatling was a quarter of the size and several times more powerful, with an unfairly better damage radius. You can use the workbench glitch to mod it (otherwise it isn't moddable) and give it whatever you want it to have.

Never ending shotgun is still my favorite. Once you max it out with the super-fast advanced receiver, it's arguably more deadly than either of the above, or any normal weapons, really. Even Fat Man. It's so dumb and game-breaking, but it's a thing that can happen. It's like a water hose of death. Turn it on and spray em down real good. If you seek out legendary enemies early, you have a good chance of finding it, simply because double barrels are semi-common legendary drops at the early levels. I think I found it at like level 6 or 7 and just put it the hell away. It's like finding a hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk right at the start of a job search. You know it's not yours and it feels wrong to keep it, but it's not like it has a phone number on it with the message "if lost, call:" So maybe you just keep it... until you... "figure out what to do with it"

Come to think of it... maybe I should set up a voicemail line and start writing that on hundred dollar bills I spend. Somebody might call it!

It's about as rigged as that plan working. No mods needed. It's just in the game.

I crouched just so I could use the stealth bar to tell me when he was dead. It is impossible to see or control anything without jet. But then, not everything in life is about controlling. Sometimes you just gotta believe that fate will see you through... that, and a constant projectile stream likely averaging somewhere in the ballpark of 800-1000 DPS. Which in this game is basically a wide-radius beam of at least 10 maxed out .50 cal bolt action rounds every second... forever. Also without the need for aiming. But Todd Howard said I could keep it. My dad works at Bethesda. He told me to max out my endurance and defenses and don't use the console, because that's cheating.

For posterity, I present 5 legendary fog crawlers:

Nevermind the ungodly ammo dumpage into long-dead enemies. That's what luck and scrounger are for! It's all about that stagger swagger. Just keep mixing the psycho with the jet and it's all good baby!

 

[Rahnak]

The final boss of Ys I is infuriating. And that sucks because I was enjoying the game. But trying to beat a boss dozens of times when so much of it is reliant on luck is not exactly what I call a good time.

Spoiler: The closest I got to beating it

 

[metalfiber]

Kifflom...Finally getting ped mods to work in GTA5...Kifflom

 

[Rahnak]

Finally managed to beat Ys I final boss and it only took a couple more tries. Definitely broke my record for most attempts at beating a boss. The trick was playing with no sound while watching Formula 2.

Ys II up next.

I know I am very late at this but I have started to take interest in LoL. Trying to "play" it..quite a noob at it.

its 3am so ill probably finish setting up this battle after im fully rested

im not 100% decided on the forces but ill probably it as is

platoon of US marines, 3 M1a1 MBT, 2 x105mm art.. i think after the map finishes, ill add a marine scout/sniper team..maybe even make a leader just for that team..Gunnery sergeant hathcock with stats worthy of the name.. (probably one of the most bad ass marine snipers to ever live)
vs
2 companies of insurgence fighters, 5xt72, 8 x technicals , 2x120mm mortars, 2xsniper teams..

 

[Sithaer]

Toussaint is such a pretty place, might be my fav in the game.
All those castles in the background and the bright colors in general.

Still on my first playthrough, well over 100 hours by now 'around 150 according to GoG'.

Reseted my skills recently to make a build that fits my playstyle with the Feline set 'Grandmaster atm'.

Not sure if I can finish at least the main story+most of side quests till September 10 but I'm trying, done a bunch already but they just keep showing up.

What's at that date?

 

[Sithaer]

What's at that date?

Borderlands 3 next DLC and lvl cap increase.
I have 2 chars at max lvl atm with ~complete builds so re-farming their stuff will take me a good while knowing my luck.

Even after finishing the story parts in Witcher 3 I still want to go around and explore the ? places on the maps but that can wait.

 

[Brandenburg]

Decided to add a sniper team to my force and had the idea of creating a leader for that team..the choice was obvious. i picked the USMC sniper legend himself.. Carlos Hathcock
note: naming convention i use on this game is.. all my edits are in CAPS. easier to keep track of

been debating on editing the nation file as i dont agree with a few of the values,.. also might make me a custom formation based on one i did in battletech.. centered around 6 demi-companies of armor .. well i have too paths i might explore.. also need to find out why i couldnt add mines in a battle

--
several things irritate me about this game and several things that are pretty kool.. some of it was just laziness.. like the way ranks are done.. instead of giving you the proper abbreviation.. the coder just truncated the rank name wth a string manipulation function to display the 1st 3 letters..it would of been a bit more time consuming to do it the proper way which would of required an array or case statement for each nation.. but there are ways you could of made the code a bit robust and would not have too im thinking.. havent coded in 10 years but i iz still a code slinger at heart..lol.. I wrote the pseudo-code in my head as I was typing this.. Its a bit incomplete and basic but I dont see why it would not work.

old game so im not going to waste my time talking to the developer. if that was the case, id give this guy a list of things that are not quite right or just doesnt work as advertised.. small things but those add up. i give this guy a pass on some of it though because its so conmplex
