Getting good at managing materia, and forcing yourself to get better by really stretching the limits of the combat system to beat the game on hard mode and also the harder VR combat simulations.

For those of you that got good with using Zack, you know ball. Zack is a monster. It’s unfortunate that there weren’t a lot of opportunities to really use his combat abilities which I hope is rectified in the final game.

How's it going?

So I’m having my gf watch TNG for the first time and she’s loving it so far. She’s been pretty faithful to watching things in order. She’s seen every episode from TOS to currently season 4 of TNG.

I’ve had her watch all the TOS movies after TOS of course , stopping at Undiscovered Country.

My question is: When to have her watch Generations?

Is it better to watch it right after TNG? Or have her watch some DS9 to have more time with the Lursa and Betor Klingon characters?

-edit-

I plan to have her watch the first episode of ds9 during the TNG by airtime release date so she can understand what it was like for the network to start another Star Trek show during another show lol. But after that I feel I want to avoid ds9 until TNG is complete because it’s annoying to watch 2 Star Trek shows simultaneously even if we are OCD lol.

This game is still buggy. There are countless times:

brink of death doesn't activate

I cant glory kill an enemy thats highlighted (prompt wont even show up)

I glide across a surface and it keeps me locked in if I dont have any dashes left

Dashes not refilling when landing on a surface or delayed (after the haste proc patch yes)

Enemies like baron pathing and getting stuck then cancelling their attacks and then suddenly attacking out of norm.

Shield getting stuck on random things / not coming back / not activating.

Several black screen locks after purchasing an upgrade forcing me to alt+f4

So far ive only been able to do UN up until Astral Key 6/8 (lost on Osseus Praetor Challenge due to not being able to glory kill an enemy, expected to glory kill, got destroyed by whiplashes while trying to do so.)

Anybode else?

Balance Updates

Gameplay

Skullcrusher Ravager

• Updated damage required to trigger ammo and health drops from standard enemies

Dreadmace

• When Riposte upgrade is active (with 2nd Dreadmace swing available), the backhand swing will now play first.

The episode is gone? And they have the wrong episode description for “The Visitor” :(

In the beginning before they warp to the Borg cube, they get the transmission from the battle scene. The Borg go through their dialogue.

After the dialogue from the Borg, we hear starfleet chatter during the start of the battle.

My question is, after the Borg say “Resistance is futile” you hear someone say “All units open fire”

The person who said that sounded a lot like Worf. And Worf was there at the battle. Just wondering if that was actually Worf’s voice. It would be hard to find it in the credits I think, so I figured I would ask here.

Edit: sorry title typo. I meant “nerdy question” lol

Why wouldn’t the assistant’s telling of what the professor said to her include the fact that Riker was trying to rape her. The assistant’s story contradicted the wife’s in the start.

Wouldn’t she try to align her story with that fact? Why wasn’t even this difference of events immediately jumped on by the defense team?

Hey all, so im an older gamer and never got around to playing the OG Doom.

So far ive gotten through Doom 1, which I loved, and Sigil, which I also loved. All UV Pistol start.

However, Im feeling like Doom 2 is more of a slog. The first few levels were good, im at around map 14 now and it feels like the levels are just too open. With less interesting areas to go through. Idk. Anyone else feel this way? How are the later maps?

(SSG is awesome though)
