Picked up a game called Troubleshooter, supposed to be a great game for those that like FFT and XCOM. Was on sale for $9 so figure I can't go wrong.
if you're playing on the hardest difficulty, maybe. but if you're playing on tactician or lower, fighter mobility is generally not a problem. also, misty step is a fighter's best friend (lvl 2 teleport spell)So bought Baldur's Gate 3 this week, of course I couldn't even make it through character creation before taking a break. Was torn between fighter/tank or archer archetypes. Chatted with a buddy who has played but hasn't beaten it that fighters have issues getting to targets and archers seem a little OP. That coupled with what I felt like I never really got my Ranger build off the ground in Pillars of Eternity went with a wood elf Ranger.
I was switching between Hades and Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC when I got the itch to try out Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk and I'm guessing the DLC changed the graphics a bit because all my old settings were still the same from when I beat the game last year, but my FPS went from 120+ down to 11 and I have no idea why. Got it stable around 80 but I'm running through a Nomad campaign now since I did a Corpo start on my first play-through and I didn't want to try and play where I left off before.
I played it relentlessly last year and ended up with around 70 clears and I was still getting new dialogue and finding new links between the various characters in the game. It's still incredibly fun even if you've played it numerous times and the voice acting in all SuperGiant games is ridiculously top notch. Ever since Bastion, I fell in love with the narrator's voice and I'm glad they use him in other games.Hades is fantastic. I'm on like 13+ clears and there are still so many new lines of dialogue, just doesn't seem to end.
Its cool you can do a couple runs a week and still get new lore/story content, its like tuning into a weekly TV show, I can see why this game has such long term appeal.
The graphics make it look very tempting, despite the fact that I don't play games like this. The visuals could get me to try.Picked up a game called Troubleshooter, supposed to be a great game for those that like FFT and XCOM. Was on sale for $9 so figure I can't go wrong.
If you do end up playing, I heard you need to stick with it for the story to pick up.The graphics make it look very tempting, despite the fact that I don't play games like this. The visuals could get me to try.
Haven't played the Remastered version but TLoU on PS4's combat was pretty unique with the slow motion effects and it would've been a joy for me to do it more if the enemies in it weren't so scary. I was like mostly holding my breath and tiptoing around in that game. But you can enjoy the combat in Uncharted 4 since the creators of TLoU stole the project from Amy Hennig and made it like a crazy action flick with similar combat mechanics.The Last of Us 1 Remastered - I haven't gotten past the first hour. I heard the combat sucks... so that's not good.
IGN sources have claimed that she was "forced out" by The Last of Us's Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley
I'm still playing Overwatch 2. It really is a well-made strategic 5v5 FPS game. Here's a random Play-of-the-Game I achieved by melee-killing 3 enemy heroes with a proper team dive: https://packaged-media.redd.it/1qbv...=54e1a3b94b79c65a50f0e4b7bb1c1a908255b9b6#t=0 The hero you see is a high skill ceiling hero where you aim as a first-person but grapple/roll/crush around as a third-person. You gotta do well in both.

Melee ranger? That just sounds like a worse rogue with more steps?Thats some nice Ball play there sir. I doubt I'll ever get the hang of him or doomfist. These days I'm playing Sig, Ram and Winton the most. I still miss 6v6 tanking though.
I tried a Ranger last year and part of the reason I lost interest at 20 hours in co-op was I just spent most time as a melee Ranger needing the cleric to heal me a lot.
