As someone who can wait for GTA 6 for PC I say this is.... about right. Prettier GTA 5 with some RDR2 mechanics. Not some extremely huge revolution or innovation. Another GTA people just waited a long time for.
Lots of corpses on this one. Did not bother with Critical Points. I just wanted to annihilate them.
I hate Fire Prisms. BTW. AIDS. Purest definition of Aids
And it was pain. The only reason I had the shot was because I VERY quickly destroyed first base on the right which made Kroot not spawn any big Dinos aside from one on the way there and another in an ambush on left side. Made tons of Destroyers and only lost like two honor guard instead of like half of them.
After initial struggles with right chicken base and middle jumpscare one I managed to get enough force to be rather comfortable with beating everything else. Just had to use one ORB to get like 28 units. Lots of Warriors, Flayed ones and destroyers with one Tomb Spyder. Managed to also possess one hammerhead as Destroyer Lord which was pretty funny to see. Watching Tau get blasted by their own Hammerhead.
I think the actual key to win this though was making 2 more Monoliths. For some reason it seemed to work better than actual turrets cause no one attacked them and I am pretty sure they further buffed my lord and troops. Correct if I am wrong on that one. It was painful at the start, but it got a bit better by the end when I had my Monolith just blast everything.
But it took me like 3 hours which was not fun. Not a fun Stronghold, but I managed to squeeze SOME enjoyment out of it. If only because I felt so good after beating it legit after so long.
I got most of the honor guard on map and almost all of the wargear AND did it first and it was STILL total ass.
I did got my Lord to get up there ahead of everyone and had my main cheerleader team protect my base, but damn was it difficult to kill that damn Papa Smurf. Runs around like a chicken with no head, has as much health as a Monolith I think and there is so much stuff around him. Lost lots of my honor guard in defending too after not losing them through most of the game.
All I can say is Good Grief this Stronghold. No fun. No fun at all. I am glad it's over. I am glad it's apparently the worst of this game. That final message screen was a blessing to my soul. Glad your game sucks O'kais.
Just try to prove me wrong. You will lose like anyone who mains Inferno who is not Azazel
Because I want to do the strat where I build everything and several HQs on maps, but I don't know how to pin down HQs well. One time I did that I saw Lord of enemy faction come from somewhere else as I assume one builder slipped away. Any advice for that? So I can reliably do this?
As in maybe how to get my troops to shoot enemies ONLY and not the buildings. Is there a hotkey for that?
Took this screen because I thought it looked cool. Feels very otherwordly with Necrons and the monolith hidden behind all the smoke.
Decided to try playing DC again and I wanted to try out Tutorial for Crons again so I can get back to the groove with them and man... this screenshot REALLY made me hyped for it. I need this kind of feel for Crons in DOW4. This ominous and brutal dread.
BTW I suck at maining Crons. I have no clue how to use Wraiths or Tomb Spiders. At all.
I do wonder what you all think on this idea that Ahmnok as Old Necron Lord from Dark Crusade was from even before Necrons went to sleep a follower of Ammentar.
I say that would explain about everything that was weird about him and his Necrons with current lore. Aside from Pariahs. Ahmnok was worshipping Nightbringer and that is what Ammentar also does and wants to bring him back together.
I am not saying he has to show up, but I do wonder if this new piece of lore can now be added to the story of Ahmnok. Also again makes me wonder if possibly he will have unique units in Crusade Mode once he comes to it.
And if anyone is confused who Ammentar is. He is a VERY old Destroyer Lord, most likely the very first to be afflicted by Destroyer Curse and he is a very mysterious Necron who's real identity has been wiped from most Necrons minds aside from Szarekh and his Triarch. It is heavily hinted in fact that Ammentar WAS one of the Triarch of Necrontyr, almost as high rank as Szarekh the Silent King himself. Triarchs were basically two high rank necrontyr who acted as voice for Silent King.
And Ammentar himself worships Nightbringer and wants to piece it back together and again that would nicely connect Ahmnok with current lore without needing to rewrite his worship of Nightbringer. With him being one of the Crons who followed him before the sleep and possibly now once he awakens he could possibly be a VERY difficult ally for Thothmek if not outright his enemy.
Makes me also wonder if Necron campaign will end (or start) with Ahmnok and Thothmek fighting and one of them killing the other. I say it would be fitting.
I REALLY hope that if this game is great and successful (can never be 100% sure) that once Ahmnok comes to Dark Crusade like mode that they plan on road map that he will get Flayed Ones and Nightbringer as replacement for Lych Guard and Void Dragon.
I say that would show very well the difference between him and Thothmek. Where Thothmek is more smart and sound of mind he therefore uses sophisticated Lych Guard and awe inspiring shard of Mag'ladroth meanwhile Ahmnok would get brutal Flayed Ones and terrifying shard of Aza'gorod.
I say that would be great. Sell more the difference between both factions and allow us to have as much Dark Crusade vibes as possible with Ahmnok being hinted to be Necron Lord from DOW1. Also potentially give us a chance to see both shards fight each other which would be AWESOME.
Arabic letters cause yeah. But I think this shows well how those two do have some more parallels between one another. Both looking over the world from high above while deciding lives of others for them with no real consideration for anyone other than themselves.
Not to mention more parallels with Isaac Netero himself. I believe in this chapter Tserri finally achieved his target time and much like Netero when he achieved the peak of his mastery in his punches his hair now is completely loose.
Another monster has been born.
True story
Last time I played was quite a while ago and then I got to level 60 on Pyromancer and now I want to try out the game again on veteran, but as Dreadnought (Berserker/Demo hybrid). I was wondering if people found out some good builds already for it cause for now I just run around as werewolf and sometimes throw a cocktail which is hilarious, but I do wonder if it can be better because I am personally not a great character builder.
Preferably something that lets me be a Werewolf and also do some funnies with Demo abilities. I also wonder about weapon choices.
I have something to say about the last page. It was beautiful to see Gon and Killua again and see how much Kurapika after all this time still trusts them with all his heart and soul. It is great to see their friendship still remain just as strong even if they did not meet for a while.
They are not gonna be part of this arc however and everyone who hypes themselves about it will most likely be very disappointed. Because sending the letter itself will most likely take a few days for it to arrive at Kakin. Then it has to fail at being delivered and then send back and then Killua and Gon can be contacted by Oito's family member about Wobble.
It would take a while. At least a week or two which means by the time it's delivered the Succession War will be over and I highly doubt Killua and Gon would be on DC either. Now they will have a matter of protecting Wobble and Killua would NEVER put Alluka at risk by getting her close to DC. There is nothing for them on DC and that arc I say will be dedicated to Leorio and for that to work they cannot be there.
So yeah. Do not get too hyped about that last page, it's most likely a teaser of an arc AFTER DC.
Also I want to highlight this hilarious description of Beyond.
I don't think at this point it's much of a secret who his son is. A man-child who loves cat and mouse games and loves a challenge. It's Tserriednich. 100%. Also Bill is a GOAT for completely switching on Beyond when he learned of what this bastard does to his children. King Bill.
I decided to play a bit modded BG3 playthrough and added myself a mod to make a custom companion. This will be my fun duo of MCs in this game who I also headcanon to be a romantic pair. Oskir the Durge and Dragonborn Serene.
One is Tempest Cleric of Talos who woke up with no memory besides his name and devotion to his God and another is a jolly entertainer from Baldurs Gate who made a pact with a Great Old One by the mere idea that she made it feel a semblance of joy for one moment.
I like to imagine my Durge MC gets pulled away from his more violent urges partially because of her. And also Lae'zel will be romance option for de facto story so I imagine it being a sort of back and forth polycule kind of thing.
I am on Asus Tuf Gaming b650 Wifi motherboard
I ask because I had some weird issues with boot times and I look things up online and I get kind of spooked because apparently my PC may be having volting issues and my CPU may be getting damaged, but I don't know if updating to 3881 will be good (as I see it's the latest stable version) because I see mixed reception everywhere.
I am right now on 3222 update. I use 6000hz on my ram with Expo 1. I also have 7800x3D cpu. Anyone can help out? Advise?
I plan on making another Duergar Tempest Cleric and I wanted to alter a bit the look I made for it for Durge. Here the hair being a bit blue ish to look like the hair is turning blue from the tattoo itself. Also modded beard cause BG3 ones are pathetic.
I also wonder about choosing a God for them. I will probably go with Talos and maybe Talos being the reason they are of relatively sound mind and grasping them for themselves because they like this lil murder machine and the eye and everything else being indicators of that, but I was also maybe thinking of Selune because I wanna see Shart interactions with it, but I dunno how well that would fit.
But either way I want to know what you all think of the hair I should go for here. And overall how he looks.
It started some time after an outage that lasted a second where my PC turned off for a second and then immediately turned on again. I got quite spooked, but nothing seemed to be wrong.
But for some time now I had a weird issue with Sleep mode and turning on my PC. Basically my PC when it goes to sleep mode for a minute and then I try to turn it on my PC's fans start running, but inside my PC only red light is turned on and no matter how long I wait it doesn't turn on. I have to then turn it off using power button and then it puts me in bios because apparently I interrupted something and I have to get out of that. And then when I do that it turns on as if it was in Sleep Mode all this time.
But the fun doesn't stop on that as my PC also often times now has a weird quirk where when I try to turn it on the light inside goes through normally with lights, but stops at white one and then it goes back to orange, then red and white and finally green. I dunno what causes it but I am scared something is now broken in my hardware and I want to confirm if something is broken there or not. If I should send it to where I bought it so it's fixed or not (I have warranty still I think, but that would be a hurdle because it would take quite a long while).
My PC has 9070xt GPY, 7800x3D cpu, 32 gigs of ram DDR5, TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI motherboard and Windows 11 pro. It's quite an expensive beast so obviously I do not want to lose it by any means. I would probably game end myself if that happened.
Any idea what it is and how to fix it? I saw people on the net have similar issue, but I never found a good solution to that.
And here I talk about Halkenburg and his plan for Succession War.
We saw the page where he talks about shooting at his brother and people assume it's a metaphor, but I think it is not. I actually think he may have done it and is now inside Ben, but is dormant. And why would he do that?
To save him and his siblings AND stop Succession War. Now how could he do that? I have one theory. He NEVER used TSK-17 on himself. It is very possible he in fact gave it to Unma so she lies to Furykov about curse and poisons Ben so he starts acting rashly.
And eventually when he goes into a coma from the poison Halk wakes up and gives up, letting Cheadle and others to save his brother. Now that would require some anime tier level of omniscience, but it could be something of this sort. Where he wants Ben to act rashly so he can save as many siblings as he can.
And what happens after? I say he jumps into a body of someone who agrees completely to giving up their life with him for the sake of his family and goes back into his body that I say is alive.
Whatever Halk did may have not been poison, but somehow he made it look like he was poisoned and dying, but in fact his body is in a coma. Or hell, maybe he made contact with Hunters to make sure it can work out. So when he 'dies' in another body he can go back into his real one. That may be why he wanted to NOT have autopsy on his body.
For what purpose? The burial chamber. Where he can go and possibly destroy whatever is in there that is required to finish Succession War. Possibly he knows what is going on with his siblings bodies that already died so he now posed his death so he can find himself in that chamber and destroy what is in there. Stopping Succession War by destroying the artifacts or whatever else is in that chamber.
If he cannot stop it by convincing the King, he will destroy the means by which it can be finished. That is my rough theory on what will happen with Halkenburg.
I know it can have some holes and be weird, but crux of it is. I don't think Halk's body is dead, I think he faked poisoning himself and now he wants to ensure safety of his siblings and then destroy what is in that burial chamber.

And I want to know about the music used from 4:32 to 5:00. It has been bugging me since forever what is this melody. It sounds like something from Nintendo, but I cannot put my finger on what this track is
I think at this point it is more and more likely that Tserri IS Beyond's son. A lot of thing point to it which I explained in another post, but I think those 2 new chapters shed more light on it. Specifically on religious symbolism between Isaac and Tserri. Where both are on some level based on religious figures and present a VERY corrupted version of both.
With Netero showing himself as a Buddha figure, but is inside a battle junkie who molded Hunter association into pit of utter scum so he can have for himself fun people to beat up and was willing to let Pariston stay as vice chairman who was also involved in a lot of terrible things happening to Hunter association just because he wanted strife in his life.
While Tserri is depicted in recent color cover as a Jesus like figure, but is a terrible, TERRIBLE human being who derives pleasure from destroying people's futures and bodies all the while being a complete narcissistic monster who sees people as his playthings.
And Beyond himself seems to be largely based on Shoko Asahara who was a religious terrorist who gassed a lot of people and his weird cult combined both hinduism and buddhism which makes me wonder if he will have an ability that is more hindu themed. And we see some of HIS hypocrisy as well as he is suing Kakin over their human rights violations while he himself gave birth to A LOT of children who he cursed with horrible nen.
This family is beyond horrifying and hypocritical and just... evil. That is why they are so fun as characters. And I said it before, but I do believe both Beyond and Tserri will be trials for both Leorio and Pika. Pika has to face Tserri in the ship in a proper fight (although I don't think he will kill him. That will probably go to Theta who will drag him down as they drown or something) while Leorio will have to beat Beyond on Dark Continent and bring back hope to the world while Beyond will lose this fight of survival.
Both earning themselves title of Zodiacs through their respective arcs. Can't wait to see more of Beyond and especially Tserri. Such great characters. Such horrifying characters.
