I have continued my Kenshi antics, killing slavers and freeing everyone. I have most of the UC slave farms down now and finally finished my “I got the Phoenix” world tour and handed him to the Shek.
Also bashed through a lot of Jump Space with friends. 4p co-op mission-based PvE space FPS, think Deep Rock on a ship. Love it. Incredible pacing, honest. Could use some player progression, but I’m assuming that’s just the early-access-ness. If this is all that ever comes of it, I’ll still have gotten my money’s worth and would just think of it as a bit repetitive on the content. But fun as hell.
Tried Arc Raiders. Absolutely furious about it. Gamers suck. Thought this could be a learning moment for them since all meaningful loot comes from not-other-players, so the PvPvE should really lead to mostly PvE play and freeform team-ups, but gamers are gamers and deserve the gulag. It’s just another Tarkov; most players are pieces of shit. (Note: I have not gotten good, but the moral judgement stands.)
I started learning a new keyboard layout, so I haven’t been playing much, but I started playing Gunfire Reborn with my brother and damn, this game good. It’s a Chinese FPS furry roguelike, and it’s very adiccting. The translation is not the best but is good enough most of the time.
Other than that, I want to finish Hollow Knight. I’m currently stuck on the 4th pantheon. And also want to go back and finish FF7 Remake, iirc I’m on chapter 12 or 13.
First time I’ve seen Gunfire mentioned in the wild. I love that game, it’s fantastic with friends
Hell yeag! Even solo it is pretty fun, but I’ve been having a blast playing with my brother. I wish there was more content online about it, I only really found one of two videos about the game, maybe it is just much more popular in China then outside.
Since we’re here: you should know that the elemental effects combine. It’s not explained well inside the game, but if you put 2 status effects on an enemy it consumes them both to create a different one.
Electrocute + corrosive = poison (deals a % of max hp per tick, can stack; if you hit an enemy with something that rapidly applies electric damage with elemental chance while they’re on a corrosive area, like the Crown Prince Gas Grenade, it will destroy their hp bar very fast)
Electrocute + fire = explosion (good for dealing with many enemies at once ofc)
Fire + corrosive = charm (a lot of games have this kind of effect, in Gunfire Reborn it has a bit more strength due to the really strangely long duration)
Some occult scrolls give you 100% chance to inflict the elemental effects. For example after switching weapons. If you get this, it can be disgustingly powerful with a shotgun or SMG while the enemy is continuously being applied with another element. It will create a stack of the debuff for each hit.
The vaults on each level can contain more than one reward. The ones where it’s just a parkour challenge or the boulder traps always have 2 chests, you just have to look for the second one after you reach the end.
Thanks for the tips! I saw that there were elemental combos, but didn’t took a look into what combos into what, mostly I have been using the charm combo. For the parkour sections I was confused on how to reach the second chest, so it’s good to know I have to look around after reaching the end.
If you play the hawk hero the parkour stuff is a lot easier to find and do. On the 2nd and 3rd floors (not sure about 4th because I’m kinda rusty and haven’t made it to the 4th floor in a while) the 2nd chest from the parkour vaults has a time challenge element that begins as soon as you enter the area, so you’ll know roughly where you need to go.
Of all the Chinese games I’ve played, Gunfire Reborn has by far the best translation.
Yeah it’s good, I think people are confusing obtuse ability description -> bad translation, I’m sure the owl’s heart of the cards gambling paragraph is just as hard to parse in the original writing
Only problem I’ve had is I started playing the new season and the main seasonal mechanic tooltip was in chinese and I was like “damn alright then lmao”
I think it was patched literally like three hours after the update so I was just early
Oh, really? Maybe it’s just the portuguese translation that is a bit weird and inconsistent at times. Some stuff that don’t get translated to portuguese, like the word “stacks” for example, is translated, so it took me a while to understand it was talking about staking effects.
Gunfire is neat, I especially like the owl who plays a TCG at the same time as shooting people. Some of the difficulty stuff is wonky, and once you discover some of the wombo combos runs tend to get samey, but still good fun.
Cool! I haven’t purchased any of the DLC yet, but I want to, specially since it’s still on sale. So far I have been liking Tao and Lei Luo a lot.
