Xbob42 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I haven't got to play too too much of this yet (GPU was out for RMA for like a week, I felt like a fucking caveman) but damn the little I played was good. It's 100% Starship Troopers: The Game. Listening to a fucking NPC on your ship sadly talk about how "these aliens just won't accept freedom, no matter how many times we deliver it to them" is so good. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 If you’re playing on PS5, instead of booting the game up normally. Go to “Resume Activity” below it and go into the game that way. Takes a minute but I got on twice like that tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and Skillz played like 6 missions, only saw rewards for 2. But then when I logged out and came back on later they were all there. I think the rewards are just so backed up, that it takes a few hours to actually get them. Also if you buy modules and upgrades, it may take some time to actually receive them.

Paperclyp Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Is this game fun at all solo? Or with randos? I can't talk my PS5 / PC buds to jump in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Given the huge success of this game, and the change of perspective from the first game, it makes me wonder if they could do the same for potential Magicka 3. I can't remember if I played a demo for the first Magicka and didn't care for it, or if reviews didn't sell me on it (I think I remember @Xbob42 being into it), but thinking about that style of over the top spells from a third person, over the shoulder perspective seems like it could be a lot of fun.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 And shortly after hitting this milestone: Quote Despite our best efforts to increase server capacity to accommodate all of you who want to dive for Freedom, we are experiencing capacity issues. We are once more working without delay to improve the issue and we hope to have a fix in place as soon as possible. Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 If my buddy I conned into getting the game is less than reliable I might be interested in playing with some of you, even tho I am not the type to do that usually (due to paralyzing fear tho no big deal). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleronin Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Decided to play this on my work's shitty ass internet tonight and was surprised at how little lag I got from our crappy cell modem in the mountains for once. Also runs buttery smooth at 1600p/medium with quality DLSS on my tablet pc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 There any way to speed up/skip the mission results XP/money tally? It feels obnoxiously, pointlessly slow in a game that otherwise tries to avoid being obnoxiously slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I just wish I could get into the game when I have time. Last night server full, same with this morning and just now when I tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 1 hour ago, skillzdadirecta said: How is the jetpack? It's pretty great. Depending on the difficulty and how many people you've dropped with, the game isn't always super well equipped to handle players that are on high structures, so you can pick things off as they chase your buddies around. It works pretty well that way against bugs. Less useful against robots in my experience, since some of them can just blast rockets at you.

stepee Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I played some solo last night on the deck (low/medium looks great with hdr and all/30fps cap) up to level 3 and some change and it was good times. For some reason these insects don’t bother me like the EDF ones do. I wonder why that is? The EDF insects serious like offend my senses to the point I don’t even like playing because I find it grotesque. But this obviously looks way more realistic than that does. Edit: And I’m glad you can solo but is there anyway to get 3 AI bots also or no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Also I haven’t read too much on this yet but I was surprised to see all the real world paid money stuff to buy day1. Mostly, that it didn’t just seem cosmetic? I doubt it’ll affect me but are they generally pretty tame with the stats you get from items you can buy with cash?

It's not an issue because the currency that you use to buy stuff with real money can be earned in game and pretty easily and regularly. You'll be buying that stuff, but I doubt you'll be spending real money to get that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 There are no clear items with better stats as well. All armors have positives and negatives. No gun is outright better at everything, all have strengths and weaknesses. So even if there are some armors you can spend real money on, they aren't "better" than any other armors, just different perks. And none of the perks are unique, you can earn that same gear quickly in game. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 As a general tip, the high-speed/high-stamina armour is much better against bugs than the ones with better defense, since most bugs you can just run away from and blast. The automatons, however, are a different story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
