[Darkening Kaos]

     Just another day at the office for the team. 
        Arrive at the CZ,
        Kill everything in sight, (without bothering to reload),
        Get the Thing(s),
        Go home and have a beer (or five).

     *Darkening Kaos has grown attached to a weapon and named it 'Rapture'*

I was sick this session. Sorry about that.

[Dorsidwarf]

They really weren't kidding when they said the Long War, huh?

[Mephansteras]

No, no they were not. It really is a herculean effort to go through all those missions.

[Darkening Kaos]

     Watching of few of these Long War Let's Plays has convinced me not to install it.
     It just looks too much like work to me.

[Mephansteras]

     Watching of few of these Long War Let's Plays has convinced me not to install it.
     It just looks too much like work to me.

Yeah. I like the system in general, though the number of enemies the game considers to be a 'moderate' level of difficulty is kinda crazy. But my biggest issue is the sheer length of it. I'd like it if they did a version that was more a normal game length.

[TheDarkStar]

IDK, it only took me 71 hours to beat LW2 on beginner. I did skip a bunch of missions at the end though cause I was too lazy to play efficiently. My (unfinished) attempt to beat the game on a high difficulty looked like it would significantly longer, though.

[Mephansteras]

I tried to do a normal difficulty run and just got tired of it.

[TheDarkStar]

I think the main issue is the mid to late game when things stop changing but (at least on harder difficulties) it's still important to keep going on lots of missions.

[Ashsaber]

Yeah, this has been a slog. But we will persevere!
Also fuckin' Samurai probably saved me so many hours of headaches.

No writeup since I'm lazy and tired, but there's really nothing interesting here except for the fact that we steal their prototype body.

Writeup:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mission start.
*everybody lands*

Kaos: Alright, everyone. We're looking at a tower infested with enemies. Stay together and move carefully. King, take point.
King: Aye.

Kaos: That's a good position for us to set up, so sweep and make sure it's clear.
King: *moves*
King: There's some blokes over in the adjacent building.
Kaos: Think they're gonna see us?
Kaos: It's further than ten feet.
Kaos: Ok, move up.
So they do.

There were two possible paths to take, so they picked the left one.

King: More goons.

Kaos: I can take down everyone in that building.
Schmidt: The roof will get in your way. We'll clear it all one by one.


Kaos: Nice aim.
Rojas: Yeah, who knew advent drank coffee?
Kaos: my turn.

Schmidt: Was it necessary to shoot him through the wall?
Kaos: Yes.

Vanya: more incoming, keep your eyes open, people!
Kaos: There was a muton back there, someone get rid of it.
King: On it.

Kaos: This building is getting on my nerves.
Shuzaka: DONE

Kaos: Wait what

Kaos: Great! Now everybody knows we're here!
Schmidt: Pretty damn sure Skyranger told everyone we're here already.
Kaos: It's the thought that counts.

Kaos: See? Fuckin' hell, engage!

Pew pew pew

Swing2 swing2 swing2
Marvy: CB, move out of the way.
Cherry Blossom: 'k

Kaos: Wait why

Rojas: Hey guys I'm gonna try something.

(Repeat x4)
Shuzaka: Good work.
Rojas: Shut up.
Matron: incoming from the sides!

Matron: I missed!
Marvy: My turn!
Kaos: Wait no

Kaos: Ok see now you just made him angrier.

Marvy: I tried!

King: I've reached the door to the broadcasting location.
Kaos: Got it. I'll reposition with One-Shot.

Kaos: Everybody else mop up the rest and reposition.
Vanya: 'k.


Matron: Incoming!

Matron: Fuckin' hell, ow.
Kaos: You're supposed to yell that when someone is shooting at someone else.
Matron: The shield took the most of the hit.

Marvy: Owie!
Matron: Incoming!
Rojas: That's a little late, isn't it?
Vanya: There's one above that I can't reach.
Kaos: Bugger.

Schmidt: Pretty sure he's still flying.

Schmidt: Nevermind.
King: ...so...about the door...
Kaos: Hang on, one second.

Kaos: Sorry, what were you saying?

King: I was going to say, they have a Sectopod guarding their transmitter.
Kaos: Huh.
King: So...
Kaos: Well I don't see what the problem is, just go in there and turn it off.
King: 'k.

Kaos: Alright, good, we're out of here.
Vanya: So how does it feel leading a different squad for a change?
Kaos: Brass can do the honors every day of the week.
