04-10-2018 07:05:52 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: There's now a melee knife unit.  It has no gun, is very fast, and very cheap.  But using it is very difficult, because it has to run *through* an enemy to kill them, and has no command like "charge at t=nearest enemy".  You have to put it in the exact spot an enemy will be by the time your knife guy gets there.  Even that wouldn't be terrible, but the AI typically makes insane movements that are neae impossible to predict,

There's flamethrowers!  But there's very few situations where you'd want one instead of a shotgun.
04-10-2018 07:09:27 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: You can get smoke grenades!  But the utility of a *normal* grenade is so great that you generally shouldn't waste your time.  Maybe take a smoke if there will be wide lanes with enemy snipers... but you can't preview what the enemy area looks like, and need to be rich to see what units they have.
04-10-2018 07:10:30 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: There's rocket launchers that can bust down walls!  But they can't open buildings in lockdown until you've picked the doorlocks.  You can't blow up the wall next to the door until you've unlocked the door.  Yes.
04-10-2018 07:11:21 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: On that note, ENEMIES CAN'T UNLOCK THEIR OWN DOORS.  There's soldiers inside most locked rooms, but they can't get out, or shoot out, until YOU open the doors.
04-10-2018 07:13:35 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Spawning is fucked sideways, half the missions I've played where I manually set it up, it changed the spawns somehow.  Swap the locations of my sniper and grenadier, yes, thank you.  And if you don't set up manual spawns (preemptively--there's no choice to only do it once you've confirmed that the location will be attacked), it's random, and you can have a guy standing in the middle of the street with three guns pointed at 
04-10-2018 07:15:20 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Missions are all insane.  Periodically, factions will beg you to attack another faction.  If you refuse, they dock your pay.  If you accept, the target docks your pay.  If you don't kill *everything* in the target, you fail and get docked by both.  Unless, of course, you killed the enemy faction leader in the process, in which case your employer still considers you to have failed in disrupting operations and will dock you, 
04-10-2018 07:16:31 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: All troops regenerate a few in-game hours after death, no matter where or how they died.  Send six people into the heat of enemy territory, and get them blown up by rockets?  No worry, you'll have them back for free in four hours!
04-10-2018 07:16:46 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Just... gaahhh.  That rant
04-10-2018 07:16:57 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: 's not ven half of the flaws, it's crazy.
04-10-2018 07:48:20 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: glorious.
04-10-2018 07:49:04 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: It's like me and XCOM.
04-10-2018 07:49:06 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: good luck.
04-10-2018 07:49:46 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Is it still fixable, or is it forever hooped at this point?
04-10-2018 07:50:00 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: They'll probably patch it.
04-10-2018 07:50:11 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Or sell the patch as DLC.
04-10-2018 07:50:21 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: I can't see them fixing everything, though.  They never completely fixed their FIRST game.
04-10-2018 07:50:36 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Meh.  If they do that I'll pirate the patch, same as the actual game.
04-10-2018 07:51:04 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: I wonder if it's stealth copy protection.
04-10-2018 07:51:29 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: ?
04-10-2018 07:51:39 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Oh, as in the game's broken because I pirated it?
04-10-2018 07:52:10 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: No, the reviews about it were pretty bad too, though they still understated it.
04-10-2018 07:52:34 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: If it is copy protection, they put too much work into breaking their already-broken game.
04-10-2018 07:52:49 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Is it in Mostly Positive territory or Mixed?
04-10-2018 07:52:56 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Mixed.
04-10-2018 07:53:15 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: I.E. "Terrible, or somehow political".
04-10-2018 07:55:41 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Mmm.
04-10-2018 07:56:57 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Is there anything below mixed?
04-10-2018 07:57:33 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: ...Unsure, let me check.
04-10-2018 07:57:53 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: "Mostly Negative" and "Negative".
04-10-2018 07:58:15 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: No "Very Negative" or "Overwhelmingly Negative", oddly.
04-10-2018 07:58:20 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Lemme guess, terrible AND political.
04-10-2018 07:58:41 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Oh, wait, no.  Those do exist,
04-10-2018 08:01:45 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: ok.
04-10-2018 08:11:40 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Apparently, statistically speaking, more than 50% of games are rated "Very Positive" or higher.  And Steam's ranking system doesn't  really sort by percentage past that bucket, going by other metrics.  So the only rank that usefully tells you a game is good is "overwhelmingly positive".  And even then, from experience I know YMMV.
04-10-2018 08:12:00 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Good old 9-10 rating scale, that is.
04-10-2018 08:15:24 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Yep.
04-10-2018 08:15:33 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: You'd think people would learn.
04-10-2018 08:17:32 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Better that way.
04-10-2018 08:17:38 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: fewer hurt feelings if all reviews are positive.
04-10-2018 08:19:52 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: I don't think feelings come into it.  At worst, it's done deliberately because it sells better.  I don't think that's it, though, I think it's just incompetence.
04-10-2018 08:21:07 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: No reason for Steam to care.
04-10-2018 08:36:27 < syv!syvarris@2001:5b0:2a6c:srph:phrv:igps:lusq:sqig: Yup.

04-10-2018 19:48:19 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: It also makes no sense at all.
04-10-2018 19:49:50 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: Well, everyone was like "hey, these 'sonata' assholes are a problem, let's put aside our differences and pool our money to fund an organization that can fight sonata!"
04-10-2018 19:50:39 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: and then later, they're like "jeez what are we paying these clowns for? Let's tell them to go kick in the teeth of [other faction] who are disrupting society!"
04-10-2018 19:51:50 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: and the poor player faction is like "b-but that's not our job" and they get mad and stop paying you.
04-10-2018 19:52:21 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: and they're power hungry so they go ahead and start fighting sonata themselves and taking the sweet artifacts.
04-10-2018 19:57:04 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: still seems silly.
04-10-2018 19:58:23 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: it's still odd from a game-balance point of view
04-10-2018 19:59:05 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: you start with a certain amount of income, and everyone's happy with you, and then gradually people decide you stop liking you can you lncome
04-10-2018 20:02:43 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: It seems odd from a story pov too, where they'd set up this independant group and only control you through funding.
04-10-2018 20:03:38 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: welp, that's basically how every x-com game works, though
04-10-2018 20:04:16 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Yeah, but that's x-com.
04-10-2018 20:04:20 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: especially Apocylipse, which this seems to be using as a model.
04-10-2018 20:08:29 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: What?
04-10-2018 20:08:42 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: in X-com, though, nobody hired you for specific missions.
04-10-2018 20:10:55 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Apoc had you funded by one group in particular.
04-10-2018 20:12:29 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: yes, but you're an independant group controlled only through funding
04-10-2018 20:13:50 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Yeah.  Hence why you have the latitude to conduct yourself as you wish.
04-10-2018 20:14:11 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: If you've got a specific mission-based structure, then it isn't X-Com style.
04-10-2018 20:14:45 < ER!ER@33-305-828-39.dhcp.ahvl.nc.charter.com: You're totally free to disregard those missions though.

04-10-2018 20:19:55 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Still a fixed structure, though.
04-10-2018 20:20:16 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjak-8u1mj5lb9jnq4fekl347bv89s.ipv2.telus.net: Should be per-mission payments with some regular funds through development costs if it runs that way.
