While I was making my rounds around Mother Base, a soldier approached me enthusiastically, saluting. "Got time for a mock battle, Boss?"

Attempting to satisfy his request, I ran up to him and punched him in the face a single time. He immediately reeled backwards, tumbling over the railing of the platform and onto a catwalk, killing him instantly.

Tip: the only time the CQC throw will push someone over a ledge is if there's no railing.

Enclave soldiers in x01 mkvii armor with automatic plasma rifles are firmly on my do not fuck with list. I am only level ten, and after retrying several times and even dropping two mini nukes and a gaggle of grenades on them, I finally called it a retreat. I barely got the one I hit directly to half health.

I just wanted that epic armor at level ten. I would be like a god to raiders.

I still haven't learned that engaging Panthers and Tigers head-on is not a good idea if you decide not to bring your SPGs into fighting.

One day, tho. One day.

Blitzkrieg 1

[Akura]

Briefing unclear, and the mission gave me an entirely land-based force. The briefing, written in poor English, seemed to indicate I was to engage the Japanese Imperial Navy with my land-based force(they can embark/transform into troopships, and can in fact still attack normally), while the Australian ally and other American ally, both with fleets, were supposed to fight the Japanese land forces.

Again, instructions unclear, and I cleared the land part of the map I started on of Japanese, while the Allied fleets won at sea. There was a Japanese-held island to the northeast, but there was literally no time to possibly assault it(18 turns, victory is supposedly possible in 10). The briefing only mentioned defeating the Japanese navy, and their final ship was sunk on the last turn. Still, I was relieved of command for taking too long.

Glory of Generals: Pacific. Bought it on sale from the Nintendo eShop. Not exactly a terrible game, but the mission briefing text needs a lot of work. If it hadn't cost me little more than $3, I'd be a little upset.

Got cocky after taking out every vampire settlement bar the capital, so didn't wait for reinforcements. I should have.

Australia's horrific ecology means all my people can't be fed by dairy.
I can win this, particularly by importing wheat (from where??), but on my first try I sorta doomed my people to starvation.

I can't help but think this would be easier if I was willing to let my people eat just a few cows.  Never.
Apparently that's a thing I've always had a subconscious problem with??  *cows specifically*, other mammals are fine, I don't get it either.

Spec Ops are pure cancer.

First one(not counting the training one), you have to do one of the story missions, from the bad guys' point of view. Oh, but the enemy has a shitton of AA-12s, automatic shotguns that kill you in two hits and are automatic shotguns. Getting to the guy you're supposed to kidnap is done via breaching sequence followed up immediately by you taking a flashbang to the face while half a dozen guards storm the room. It's almost impossible to dodge the flashbang.

Second one, you're air-dropped onto a Russian submarine to, to quote Overlord, "render safe the charges". Said charges are sticks of thermite planted on top hatch at the front of the sub to cause the reactor to "go nuclear" because that makes sense. Oh, and the second you drop, you come under fire by guys completely concealed by smoke, and they have perfect accuracy while you have no cover whatsoever.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Spec Ops mode obviously. It is possible to dodge the flashbang, you have to duck behind the table very quickly.

Tried to play a certain game whose name I will give at the very end.

Key word being "tried".

In its current state, it's a mess. The controls are very difficult to understand (Caps Lock for push-to-talk, and you have to hold the button down) and there's nothing resembling a tutorial. Unless you're familiar with Arma 3 you're going to get lost. Hell, even if you're familiar with Arma 3 you're probably still going to get lost anyway.

Once you actually get to running and shooting, you find that it's very difficult to tell your enemies apart from your friends. You mainly have your map to help you with that, but if you're next to an objective marker and that marker covers up your icon (which, by the way, it does if you're trying to capture the objective), you're just going to shoot and hope you don't get a friendly fire message when you kill your target.

Assuming you don't spawn partly stuck in a floor like I did three times.

And also assuming you don't get blown up by a rocket launcher like I did the fourth time, after crawling out under the building...

So my experience with this game is basically "Shitty Insurgency".

Argo.

That's the name of the game. I almost want to slap the game developers for bringing a mythological reference into this clearly unfinished... thing, but I can't, so I won't.

after 6 or 7 hours i got stuck attacking the pasty strip of Check land because the game refused to allow me to enter check through hungarian land.  and my romanian ally had access to  it.

so, with limited supplies and roughly even armies i got to assault a coridor of mountains that were several layers thick and 2-3 regions wide.


was a straight up meat grinder.  I lost 36k boys.  my allies lost 15k. they?  lost 313k.

three hundred and thirteen thousand men of conscription age perished making me cry.

but, this is after 8 months of me trying simply to get in.  mil access treaty doesnt allow me to attack from their land.

and, this is after earning 800 xp for killing 200 airplanes over 8 months


gdi, why can't i declare peace on them?  land locked losers.

Got shot to death for sticking out a ways.

Got shot while trying to throw a molotov.

Got shot by my own colleagues.

Got shot while trying to aim down sights.

Got shot after missing all of my shots with hipfire.

Got shot by my own gun after I gave the fuck up (not really).

Insurgency.

[BurnedToast]

After destroying some time spider that was mucking up the timestream, I was teleported back to my home "town" only to find it under attack. No problem, the game gives you a huge +5000 health buff so it's easy to defend it.

...except all the mage defenders (which is half of them) use a ray spell that passes through targets... including the player. Since the monster is chasing me, they keep shooting through me to hit it. I'm desperately trying to find a position where they won't shoot through me, but they do 500 - 600 damage a hit so even with the buff I'm quickly killed.

But it gets better! After using one of my extra lives to respawn, it turns out you don't keep the buff. My base health is only ~150, so I'm instantly annihilated again by a "friendly" mage.

I could respawn again but I just give up and start over - losing 2 (out of max 7) lives on the tutorial is just not worth it so I tell the guy to leave me dead and start over.

Tales of Maj'eyal. Partially my own fault because I didn't really expect the friendly fire, or realize that's what was wrecking me till over half my health was gone, but still kind of a wtf.

I never was good at megaman games.  But I love making levels.  So I got Mega maker.  Spent a good 2 hours making a megaman level created with love and care.  It's probably somewhat easy compared to what others have created but it's mine.   I go to upload and it tells me I need to beat the level first to prove it's beatable.

....I can't beat my own level.  Not because of shinanigans no.  But because I'm so godawful at megaman games I can't beat bog standard bomb man.
