>but eliminates 2* and possibly 3* drops.

No, just eliminates 2* drops, and doesn't guarantee shit else.

In other news, Multiple MGs in an Echelon make short work of S.F. T-Dolls, despite the Ammo consumption. They work best with Equipment Mods that lower their ROF, since their reload times are a set interval, so prolonging that inevitability is of great importance.

Questions:
1. What do friendship points do?
2. Has anyone ever gotten a limited drop?

>>59333
I think I've gotten a limited drop, maybe once.

Besides a measure of how much your waifus love you, affinity does have gameplay purposes. When it reaches 100, you can enter into an oath with the T-doll (you marry your android war slave and no doubt subject her to sexual slavery, you fucking degenerate). When you have an oath with a T-doll, the maximum affinity is raised to 150 and they receive a boost to certain stats. I only recently oathed my PTRD so I'm not sure if the boost increases as you go higher from 100 to 150. At the moment it seems pretty small.

Also, winning battles and tapping the little hearts or giving them presents in the dorm make your dolls affinity-ize your ass. Losing battles will NOT make them like you less. Affinity goes down when a member of the squad straight up fucking dies. If you have the option enabled, squad members will run away once they get down to 5 or 10% health or whatever. That's fine. If you enter battle with that squad again, however, you need to stay on your shit to make sure you withdraw squad members before they get killed. Whenever your dolls lose affection, they lose a lot. The girl who gets killed gets -10, everybody else in the squad gets -5. So it's worth it to make sure your girls don't die.

No, like the friendship points you get for liking dorms and deploying support echelons?

Do they do anything?

>What do friendship points do?
You can spend them in the "Friendship Store" located under the "Friend" tab. You can buy different backgrounds for the main screen, and profile icons for your player ID card.

...essentially, they're useless.

Probably that much as of yet.

I'm hyped for it, though somewhat worried my crappy 750 Ti won't run it since it had trouble with Doom 2k16, but as I recall Machinegames did a great job optimizing TNO so I'm still optimistic.

>I'm hyped for it

Seems like its launch was not exactly a success. (saleswise)

>>59177
Yeah, technical issues apparently because of course Bethesda skimps on QC. Though IIRC TNO didn't sell that hot on release either and was more of a slow burn.

Friend got it on PS4 and says it plays fine on it and is fun though.

  I played it for a while early on, but the netcode is utter & total bullshit. Since it's an "all or nothing" game, I find that utterly unacceptable. I regret buying it.

  Slightly improved by now tho, but still...

>Buying unfinished games

#opchan talked me into it. I feel betrayed.

I was hitting it pretty hard a few months ago. A couple major updates ago they fucked the servers and netcode and I've put it down for now until they get it unfucked. Last major update also turned hitboxes and scav AI into utter shit, so...more stuff to wait on getting fixed before I pick it up again.

Good video. I swore off round based games after cstrike and America's Army. Never again.

The SKS is in this game! I wish so badly that I owned a computer that could run this.

Play with a few friends a couple nights a week, somehow have 350+ hours now lol.

Got bored of playing solo a while ago, but still have a lot of fun with duo and squad. Getting excited for the new map as I've landed just about everywhere on the current one.

Love the randomness of the loot, seems games where we find jack shit we survive the longest and have the most fun.

Same! Had a GREAT fuckin squad firefight on the east bridge. Got set up to camp it with only a mag or two each for our rifles thinking we'd resupply off the dead. Well, somehow we ended up pinched between two squads who dismounted to fight and maneuver on us rather than trying to power through the ambush as most do. Ended up being a long drawn out fight as we conserved ammo and tried to push off one end of the bridge without getting rolled by the guys behind us.

We were dead as fuck by the end, but we held out a good 10 minutes or so. Was so low on ammo I was using my Glock on people that were getting too close for comfort. Even downed a couple that way. We all agreed it was the best gunfight we'd had in pubg in a long time, if not ever.

>>59185

Same here. If we find a mother lode of loot and no resistance in the early game we're sure to get ambushed and slaughtered or pushed into bad zone position and killed between other squads. When we just have a decent gun, enough ammo for a couple reloads, and a handful of medicals, we're hitting top 10 or sometimes the dinner.

Same goes for my solo games, just won a duo round when my random teammate got killed right after drop at school apartments. Took out those guys and played a slow methodical game. Stalking duos and ambushing at the opportune moments when they were loading in cars and distracted with fire fights. Had a 9 kill win game alone. If they'd just fix the bugs this would be my personal 10/10 game. Its ARMA battle royale style.

>I only have 2 uses of Revivify.
>see trip

WTF, Jesus??? Only two Revivifies? WTF

So. Startin a 5e Campaign. Core idea involves a post gotterdamarung world, pre industrial post apocalyptic. The players start off in a little town in the middle of nowhere that kinda sat out the end of the world, but got periodic waves of refugees, ant that petered out about 15 years ago. They get tasked to see what's left of the world, wind up getting a hint from a god based on Nayenezgani to go talk to one based on Kali who guards the bridge between the world of the living and the dead who will tell them that lich made the moon into a phalyactery. Depending on what they do, they will discover that there is a literal spirit that represents the moon that they can kill, but the moon will disappear and that will fuck up the tides and literally everything else if they do it, or they can try and transmute the moon into a new material using alchemy. In any case they have to climb a celestial staircase along the aurora borealis and pass the corpse of the god who used to defend the plane from abominations from the astral plane.

So far, my party includes:
Naieve Tieflng paladin
Tiefling warlock who's player is chaotic irl
neurotic Aaracorcra ranger
aubrey plaza cleric
detective wizard

Currently in a two-party campaign, with one party comprised mostly of locals, and the second containing players that live out of state or at least 3+ hours from the GM's house (one party plays from noon to 6, the second plays from 6 to midnight).
One of the long-distance players is playing a straight Paladin, with a focus on damage output and whose character basically wants to kill everything and powertrips (which is why he's leader of the evening party).
I'm leading the afternoon party, based solely upon the fact the DM and I are prior-service Army, so he can think of no one else more competent to lead them.
Evening party has D&D veterans in it, while my team has newbs.
Since the newbs have new to the 5E mechanics, I'm pushing them towards roleplay and simple tactics; threat avoidance.
We head out to meet some baddies to parley with, and the Powertripper decides to join us, bringing along a half dozen hired NPCs.
Myself and the player with the highest CHA in the afternoon team, win initiative and open negotiations.
The rest of my team make up the rest of the initiative.
The Pallie and his hireling go after the monsters.
Pallie attacks monsters.
DM: "Well, you rolled well on your persuasion/negotiation. If only he hadn't attacked them..."

The Paladin's player also likes to take a long time talking about what his character's doing, then complains while watching my team play, that my guys aren't doing anything, or that we waste time.

So would anyone here be interested in an Only War game?
Sun or Sat nights. Discord/Roll20 or possibly just IRC (been so long since I used IRC for anything).

I would be the mediocre GM and my woman would be a player (she knows nothing of 40k and thus would make the perfect Imperial citizen turned guardsman).

There was one Metal Gear game for the PSP handheld that was made nearly unplayable because your character would go into convulsions (before collapsing from starvation) if he didn't eat something every other minute. And Snake Eater had an elaborate system of finding lots of different things to eat (and go rotten if you did not eat some of the perishable things quick enough) that just distracted and slowed down this action game about who-gives-a-shit eating. Fucking stupid as hell.

  >>59254
I still standby that MGS:V:TPP is a masterpiece.

Metal Gear has always had a bit of retardation/fanboyism built in. Just roll with it.

  >>59255
I can give no personal opinion of the Phantom Pain since I stopped playing any Metal Gear game after Snake Eater, but friends told me of the MGS5's Ground Zeros $40 demo that had about a "half an hour of gameplay" and the only replayability was in trying to speedrun it within five minutes. That was just the kleptomaniacal kretins at Konami releasing a portion of an uncompleted game for a quick cash-grab. Screw that. And I will have nothing to do with pay-to-win microtransaction games.

MGSV:GZ should be basically free by now and I got 19 hours out of it.

MGSV:TPP is $20 on steam and I got 189 hours out of it, and I've been thinking about doing another play through at some point.

  I am getting the idea that some people don't like this game very much...

This was a giant p2w hackfest when it was created. How is it going to be any better now?
