"Void Wanderers" is a mod I've been playing (only for a short time).

It's... Quite something, really. They somehow managed to make the mod use its own save files and everything. There's also a whole load of drastic gameplay changes. For instance, purchasing new units and equipment can only be done on your hub level - a ship your brain is stationed on. Dropping crates of free crabs, for example, is no longer possible. Only four actors - soldiers - can be brought in to each level, preventing players from fielding vast armies of skelly bois with blunderpops and spraying down enemies through sheer volume of fire.

However, with drastic gameplay changes, some tactics can become useless. For instance, purchasing new units and equipment can only be done on your hub level - a ship your brain is stationed on. Dropping crates of free crabs, for example, is no longer possible. Only four actors - soldiers - can be brought in to each level, preventing players from fielding vast armies of skelly bois with blunderpops and spraying down enemies through sheer volume of fire.

Losing several battles has taught me that I still have a lot to learn about this game.

Cortex Command.

A remarkably fun game for something that's unpolished.

Did you mean to write the same thing twice?

[AzyWng]

Yes

The point being that the exact same things that make the mod novel are the exact same things I'm having difficulty getting used to.

[Dunamisdeos]

Oh! I played Cortex Command! Fun times.

I also learned how to modify the break rate of things like joints and the total HP of a creature. It was fun to see how far I could get in a bunker assault with a single terminator-style indestructo-bot. I could get hit with a rocket launcher and fly into the stratosphere, only to impact hard enough to leave a crater and get back up.

Also the Star Wars mod is rad AF.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

Its great for some random senseless violence and crab gibs everywhere.

[Sirus]

Gibs of all kinds. I can't think of many other games where your comrade's corpse can physically shield you from incoming fire.

[Dunamisdeos]

The Star Wars mod adds lightsabers that will actually deflect projectiles.

Stabbed repeatedly by a punk with a switchblade(two, actually).

Earthbound, against the game's second boss, Frankie. Probably should ditch the Yo-yo and get a T-Ball Bat. The accuracy on the Yo-yo is just terrible.

[Spehss _]

I found Double Toil and Double Trouble, which cut cooldowns in half and double my damage, respectively. They also cause me to take double damage each, for a grand total of x4 damage taken.

I made it to 1-3 and got two shot by Atlas the earth boss. (One hit alone did 200 damage to me out of 300 max health.)

Wizard of Legend

A somewhat meta kind of death, and one that is more a cry of "Help me I don't know how to fix this", but I've installed so many mods that the basebuilding categories are super inflated. I mean, you have some categories that are doubled (There's Snipers, but one tech has Sniper Weapons), several techs have their own categories while others are split into individual categories (Moon Empire and Vault-Tec are the worst about this, having about fifteen different categories for the same things), etc,...

It's pretty messy and makes basebuilding fairly unpleasant.

In addition, scrolling through things like the scenario list or selecting factions seems quite irritatingly difficult due to the fact that the dropdown menu is really small, and scrolling with the mousewheel doesn't seem to work either.

It's not affecting gameplay, but it's irritating enough to kill me internally all the same.

Cortex Command, again.

the Yo-yo is just terrible.

But how does one shoot a yo-yo?

-------------------

I've been playing the new expansion to Splatoon 2.  The levels in this one are more objective driven than the og story mode, the original just having you get to point B while the new levels might have you tackle secondary objectives, like guiding a ball round or being restricted to a single ammo tank.

Anyways, if you fail at one of these tasks, your ammo tank/backpack detonates like a bomb and your octo kid dies a horrid (e-rated) death.  Which was bloody hilarious the first time it happened, wasn't expecting it.

[Akura]

the Yo-yo is just terrible.

But how does one shoot a yo-yo?

Hell if I know, and Ness doesn't seem to either since he misses with it 80% of the time.

[Kagus]

How did you last die?

Lag.

Just started this game, and I'm fighting the very first boss, the mist dragon.  Kain does his big dragoon jump, and I queue an attack with Cecil.  But it seems like that I was just a little bit too late, as the mist dragon dissolves into mist and becomes invulnerable.  It's not just invulnerable, whenever it gets hit in this form it does BIG HUGE counters for BIG damage, and as I had queued up Cecil's attack he got hit with big counter damage, and since you can't cancel a dragoon's jump he also actives the counter which hits both characters, killing Cecil.  I didn't purchase any phoenix downs  : (


Final Fantasy 4 DS
It's literally the very start of the game, so I don't think I need to put any spoiler tags.

[Rolan7]

They made a Final Fantasy 4?  I hope it continues the story of Terra and Locke!
