Not at all. Though my PC isn't bad by any means. Maybe I'll play a game on my steamdeck and see if it struggles any. The steamdeck runs the game well- but just barely runs it well. For what it's worth I have been running into several games that end in the host losing connection or presumably crashing.
They are just fine. Usually people are shy to talk in VC but initiate and usually one or two players open up to it. Teamkilling is rarely a problem, even accidentals. The worst you might get is people misjudging barrage's safe distances and getting themselves killed, but pretty much every stratagem in the game gives you time to get away from it if you're paying attention. Occasionally you run into petty retards teamkilling you over dumb shit but it happens rarely enough that you should learn to laugh at them. The main thing is that just shooting your teammates to teamkill isn't really any fun. Hosts tend to be pretty good about kicking too. It's a PvE game, cooperation is natural.
I play with friends and with randoms and both are equally fun. My friends only play one night a week so I’m with randoms mostly. It’s the best online game I’ve played since Left 4 dead 2. You’ll have a good time.
Not sure why they are called squids to begin with. Couldn't see any tentacles.
They have an Asari head-tentacle thing going on. Both the voteless and the illuminate aliens themselves.
Huh. Didn't catch that detail on account of being too busy dodging bullets and other bullshit.
"SQUIGGERS could be here" he thought, "I've never been to this colony before. There could be SQUIGGERS anywhere." The cool wind felt good on his bare biceps. "I HATE SQUIGGERS" He thought. The Super Earth Anthem reverberated his entire FRV, making it pulsate even as the freedom circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of tentacles. "With an FRV, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.
Call me crazy but when I imagined a flamethrower sentry I assumed they would finally bite the bullet and make it shoot a stream of flame like a real flamethrower so it can reach reasonably far away. Think Factorio flame turrets. As it is, a weedburner bolted to a lazy susan isn't very, and never was going to be very useful.
they cook real fast, flamer and jumppack for urban maneuverability have been my go to. Melts everything else pretty well too
Their spawners are far tougher than bot fabricators. Only the heaviest stratagems can destroy them; think 500kg, OPS, railcannon, etc. Gatling ones will just bounce off and even airstrikes don't work on them. The shield mainly prevents you from killing them with a grenade or explosive weapon through the door, so you have to take it down if you're using the tried and true demolition method.
I am thinking that there is something up with all the civvie vehicles in the urban areas, like perhaps they're having unnecessary physics calculations done on them constantly. Also stay away from any teammate using a melee weapon near vehicles. It tosses them comically and I've gotten squished by a sedan.
Not calling the aliens "squids" is problematic and dangerous to Our Managed Democracy. Please report all alien sympathizers to your nearest Democracy officer for sedition.
