Other Games / Re: Cyberpunk 2077 by CDProjekt. Bug-free code Edition.

Well i cant play in a while (mostly private reasons but due to a loved one, signs of improvement but critical still)

But apparently cyberpunk 2077 activates free windows (10). Or gets the dumb popup removed. Thought it was a reddit troll, but my friend confirmed it and saw it for myself. He was streaming his desktop so i can watch him play and i dunno if his os is uh...free...or mighty seas yohoho...

but the game crashed his pc so hard that the activate windows message for over a day now (pc shutdowns/restarts inbetween) seems permanetly gone. Windows even updated on him and still hasnt shown up

For him it makes cyberpunk the best game he ever played cause now he doesnt have the annoying activate windows anymore

huh! maybe i should try buying cp2077, playing a bit, then returning it, just to get my windows 10 activated... hmmm....

(i refuse to buy another w10 copy simply because my old w7 broke for some dumb reason so the free upgrade never worked)

I do like how EM Champions is like an entirely different fight.

EM [FINAL BOSS] though.... ugh. I think I'm like 25% of that fight so far.

I really hope they do a major expansion to this game and keep building on it, because it seems like their best game ever. Sadly I don't think that's in the cards.

Seems like you can just sail them forever. They get some kind of embarkation penalty to combat for a bit after landing, but I was able to sail from southern France all the way to the Holy Land without losing supplies.

You starting losing supplies after 30 days at sea. France to Palestine isn't too bad, especially if you're leaving friendly land, fully supplied.

But north coast of Spain to Pisa cost me tens of thousands of troops in attrition, because they were already low on supplies when they left unfriendly Spain.

Is anyone else noticing that sieges on them go much faster than their sieges on the AI?

In every game, regardless of respective fort levels, the AI seems to finish them on me in somewhere from half to two thirds the time it takes me to finish one on them. It turns warfare into an incredibly annoying game of cat-and-mouse because I've got to keep smacking the enemy armies before I can start sieging enemy holdings, else they'll have taken my capital. The only way I seem able to beat them, and it's always barely, is by having siege weapons when they don't.

AI definitely likes to build siege regiments, so if you're not building those, you're going to go slower.

food in a dungeon diver never made sense. in the history of roguelikes, roguelites, etc, etc, games that are dedicated combat delvers like DCSS mostly abandon food. the food stuff is rightly relegated to survival/sim games like CDDA and CoQ.

Yeah I'm excited to see the new enemies. The main complaint I understood from people was not enough enemy variety.

Even cheating and having way too many goddamn ships/fleets, I don't think I would be able to get away with that.

It's been interesting cheating though, I've integrated all my previous subjects into my civ. My Divine-Empress created a pacifist faction. There are only a few empires left, and one is about to be destroyed by the Cuelans I fought against. The others I intend to integrate peacefully, somehow. I rule like half the galaxy and just accumulated much of that by integrating protectorates.

depends on how many there are. if there's just 2, then attack one, and as soon as you win, declare war on the other. with 2 there's no risk. with 3, there's some risk, but depending on how fast you're winning the wars, not much. past 3, it gets quite a bit riskier, and you likely need to attack all remaining FEs after defeating the first.

My new game is going very well, maybe too well.  I'm miles ahead of the closest non-FE, I am the senate, I can pretty much do whatever I want.  Playing fanatic materialist authoritarians, got synthetic ascension a while ago, rebuilding the cybrex ringworld, kind of at a loss for what to do next outside forming a hegemony federation or just making everyone my tributary.

build bigger, eat the FEs (eat them quickly enough so they dont awaken)

agreed, it's worth a couple wins once a year, but their really need some new mechanics or new ideas or something

hey, i'm on vacation starting friday next week, i can probably throw an all-rune win on the pile. feel free to sort me appropriately

Bow and Spear are both extremely good. My very first escape was with Bow.

The trick is that the secondary fire on the Bow is basically a shotgun at close range. It's very strong.

Alternatively you can do a bunch of upgrades to the make it seeking and stack a variety of good mods on that.

The spear is also very good, especially Hades aspect stacked high. Throw returns also count as backstabs on return generally (assuming monster is facing you).

I think both of them rely more heavily on their secondary modes and Daedalus upgrades, so theyre not as intuitive as other weapons. They also require good positioning/timing to get the most out of them.

I like XCOPS and i dont know why everyones so grumpy about it

Besides finding the dialogue annoying, the stability is absolutely atrocious. It crashes about twice an hour for me.

Im thinking that Ill just buy the complete game when it comes out in 2022

lol more like 2028

The Daedalus upgrades change the Adamant Rail A LOT. The shotgun upgrade is probably the speedrunner favorite. The cluster bomb thing is great, and the triple bomb and rocket bomb are great too. Lots of interesting stuff you can do there, but of course you kinda have to take the ones that will work with your god upgrades.

I dunno why, I was hoping the main character was a girl.  I just sort of expected it, and when it was a guy, I was kinda bummed.  :-\

look for that Megara alternate model in 2022...
