I've got a hundred hours in Nuclear Throne in vanilla, it has gigantic mods but I haven't tried them.

>>383941580
Games I still regularly play after years and years and have thousands of hours in already are CK2 and XCOM

How do you have over 500 hours in FTL? The combat is so linear. 500 hours of waiting for all your laser weapons to be charged at once, clicking the enemy's shield room, waiting again, clicking their guns, sending a guy to the Doors room and opening the external doors and waiting for him to partially asphyxiate before killing him (so you get some combat exp), clicking no when they surrender, then waiting for the last volley to kill, after which you patiently repair the damaged rooms and wait and wait and wait for all your crew to be healed before jumping again, rinse repeat. It's like a flowchart game. It's fun but how after the first 100?

you sound like someone that has not explored all that ftl has to offer, also if you are simply "waiting for your lasers to recharge" you are lacking combat prowess or are fighting only in low level sectors cause thats all you can make it to.

kinda this. sure there's other ships and boarding etc. but this is what it seems to be most often

don't forget getting bullshit rng and getting a crew member killed because you don't pause every half a second and then quitting :)

Fuck that fucken game. Normal difficulty is hard as shit.
And since it's so fucken hard, I can never unlock any of the other ships.

Man I hope the ftl devs don't fuck up their new game. I want that game so badly.

Do you realize how retarded and inarticulate you sound?

It's a lot because I fucking love the souls games enough to force myself to play the one I hate

I have 422 hours on dark souls on pc but I actually have another 600 hours on xbox 360 version

I also have 300 hours in demons and 400 in bloodborne I think

>>383943520
Look up a guide called victory in hard mode. Always roll with your luck, don't try to force a build, just play the hand you're dealt. If you get free weapons, even if they're shitty, you can usually make a good build out of them. Never visit shops unless you have a lot to spend and you actually need something

>>383943583
I didn't say you wouldn't find out until after you had succeeded.

>>383941580
Why? I mean FTL is for sure worth a buy but its so easy even though it relies so heavily on RNG. Also the "lolsorandum" events playout functionally the same way every time, too easy to exploit the good ones and ignore the bad ones.

What's better? FTL or darkest dungeon?

>>383944171
FTL

>>383943210
i know, i had a feeling my response had that vibe, its hard to fully explain what im saying without a keyboard to type out.

but as far as combat goes as you get further in the game a lot of combat will revolve around good timing to make shit weapons work in your favor, firing one volley while deciding wether to fire your next volley at the shields like you mentioned, or taking out another system that will result in you taking less damage and as a result saving you money. getting efficient combat skills and keeping your health untouched is massively important to the economy of your run.

one other thing is the always denying surrender while giving you more scrap can make you lose out on other essential items fuel missiles etc

each run is unique and i love that you need to adapt to your needs at the moment while keeping in mind what is to come, but i love most of all that shit can always hit the fan.

tldr: i didnt mean to tell you to git gud although that is how it sounded

>>383944171
FTL is much better but they're different games with different appeals

>>383944171
FTL, but in all fairness they are radically different and eaxh has aspects that shine or are dull.

The only game I would played more then 1000 hours is WoW, started at the end of TBC and stopped playing a year ago.
And as always next expansion I will come back to level a couple of chars to max level and then leave again, repeating the cycle.

>FTL is better
Substantiate your claims.

>>383944171
FTL by a long shot. The devs kept in mind you are supposed to make a fun game, not an unnecessary long grindfest.

I like both tho'

>>383944282
This is simple shit. Core features. This does not account for 400 of the 500 hours.
t. <100 hours, totally done with the game because it is just too shallow to continue. Have beaten hard, haven't unlocked all the ships (but I don't really give a shit, games tend to spiral into the same damn build every time).

>>383944821
>totally done with the game because I gave up

fixed that for ya bud

>>383943312

Dude what the fuck

I picked this game up on the summer sale and I've put about 25 hours or so into it and I'm still getting utterly REKT on east mode.

Furthest I got (ONCE) was the third stage of the flagship battle.

I know i need to git gud, but I dunno how else I'm fucking up. Im getting better at timing my shots, but still. What the fuck

>>383944961
Yes I gave up because it doesn't have enough going on to make further investment engaging. What were you going to say?

>>383945101
Strategy and decision making outside of combat matters just as much if not more than inside combat.

You need to make jumps that have strong returns, minimize the wasted jumps. You need to have a ship that can handle a wide variety of situations and can't be crippled easily. You need to know when to get upgrades and how to deal with the advancing difficulty in each new sector. You need to maximize the use of the free shit the game gives you.

>>383945101
>tfw cant even get to the last sector on easy mode

>>383944282
That is why shields and teleport is the best, it also has just as many variations in play as regular weapons. The only direct counter is the super shield which is easy to remove.

You can attack or jam the O2 and board with lanius crew and a clone bay for support. You drain the oxygen from their ship and at least one crew member will be forced to try to get to their O2 giving your lanius an advantage plus you can teleport them out to safety and the clone bay is a back up.

You can use mantis for straight up damage or cheese with a mantis/rockmen combo and force the rockman into the attacked slot.

Robots are a good first wave but they are situational because they are hard to find.

Not to mention teleport completely trivializes the last boss because you just shut down its weapons one by one and they cant be fixed unless you kill the whole crew.

It is so fun but it is so effective that it caused me to stop playing, what was the point after discovering such a consistent and effective strat. With a lanius or mantis crew focusing on teleport and shields all you need is basically any weapon and you will win if you avoid events that aren't profitable. All dat scrap.

>>383945101
It's a game of counters. You need to be able to counter your enemies, never outright beat them. There are many ways to do this. I already talked about teleports earlier in this post but another effective one if you like weapon based combat is hacking. Hack their shields and target specific systems. Hack is pretty OP, it's hard counter is another hack but you still get a full cycle to fuck up their shit.

I still prefer teleport because you get more scrap for leaving the ship whole. You actually find that you have trouble finding things to spend it on.

>>383941580
FTL, was my jam. Even made mods. I have found I'm putting hours into Gothic 2 now.

>>383945625
>tfw i'm >>383943312 and I virtually never use teleport

>>383945852
Oh for sure, there are plenty of easy win condition. My favorite is teleport because it is so damn consistent in a game about RNG.

>>383945625
>or cheese with a mantis/rockmen combo and force the rockman into the attacked slot.
nigga if you want to cheese with boarders just constantly move them when they get into 2v2 combat. with the right rooms you can constantly 2v1 them.
this also tends to confuse the fuck out of the crew and makes them stop repairing/manning things

i loved FTL but you are clearly autistic if you got that many hours out of it, i modded it and all that and don't even come close to that, i would have to, as i said, play it autistically

just admit youre an autist bro

Host when?

>>383942623
Doesn't sound like you even played it with anything other than Burst Mk2. I mean it's a decent weapon for the first few sectors but especially with AE and the new systems there are so many good builds now (which goes for enemy ships too) that almost every encounter on normal or hard is like a little chess match.

>>383941580
What are some good mods for FTL? I've heard good things about the Captain's Edition Mod.

>>383943312

I'm going to ask you a few questions, I hope you are still here.

>how long did it take you to finish stealth B on hard mode, estimate the hours spent doing this?
>what abusive methods/cheese tactics did you do that you most likely picked up from the internet to finish stealth B on hard mode?

I'm not talking shit about your skill as an FTL player, but everyone knows Stealth B is complete and total garbage of the highest order and the only real way to get a win is to either win the lottery with jumps which never happens, or you do the really lame tactics folks have figured out.

I already know you got lucky in the first second with no drone ship jumps otherwise you ain't making it anyway so don't even bother bringing up the fact you got lucky with no drone ships.

>>383947725
Don't compare things to chess if you don't play chess.

>>383943567
Bruh the kestral is really good. The next 2 ships you get after that aren't really a straight upgrade either

You really shouldn't use the term 'autism' or 'autist' in such derogatory manner, anons.

>>383948147
Well the complexity is of a different order and FTL can't be pattern-memorized like chess can, but when you face tough opponents that board your 3-manned ship with 4 mantis, bomb your oxygen room, set fire to your engines and send a boarding drone into your medbay it certainly has elements of complex turn-based games.

I played Master of Orion 2 for the first time a month ago. I've already poured over 200 hours into it. Almost every level I played lasted over 12 hours. It's like AoE2 on slow-mo. But it's so fun.
