TFTD isn't that bad, as long as you have an up-to-date version and keep an eye out for a couple bugs. It's significantly harder than the first game, but it's far from unbeatable.I have it on Steam, so I assume it is up-to-date. No idea what sort of bugs I'd need to look for though.
The unupdated version has a small... Issue. The developers got pissed at all the complaints (From another bug making all difficulties Easy) from the first game, and made it so that every difficulty let you play the first battle on the difficulty you chose, then EVERY OTHER battle was on Superhuman difficulty. Because fuck you for complaining.That was the difficulty bug I was referring to, and the reason for the stupid difficulty.
Hold Charlotte and do what? Attack, move to try and block enemy movement, hold still, etc?[serious]Dropping Charlotte would take both of your turns however, as a note.[/serious]
Yeah this. Hold Charlotte. Plus, if you go down, I drop anyway and (IIRC) get a turn.
Was thinking of classic X-COM. Wanted a picture for Mission Control that was not Gendo Ikari. Nothing against the guy personally, but I've seen at least one LP that used him and I wanted someone different.Neither! LP as in "series of screenshots and sometimes unrelated images of a game, often being played badly".Semi-related: It is surprisingly difficult to find a good picture of Stacker Pentecost in his uniform looking stern. I need one for reasons of an LP nature.LP as in "long-playing record" or LP as in "YouTube videos of people who don't know how to play video games"?
Also, I was always weirded out by the name "Stacker Pentecost". Pentecost works as an ominous Biblical-ish name, appropriate for dramatic reasons, but Stacker? All I think of from that is shitty puzzle games and factory robot jobs.
what game? May I ask?

Not stern enough! Look at his face, he's almost smiling! Practically looks like a speechifying politician.Semi-related: It is surprisingly difficult to find a good picture of Stacker Pentecost in his uniform looking stern.
