Waiting until they add some more content. The new SLs are neat but don't really make me want to start a new run only for them and a new bughunt type mission. Probably lim, carda, pike and bog. Figure the sooner you get them the sooner they'll level up their shit attributes.

>>2444365
based

>>2444336
We had threads going since the early access dropped but they've died a few weeks ago with all the content talked to death. Basically everyone is waiting for more stuff to drop while the devs are taking too long to release batches of content that are way too small.

>>2444411
They died because it was one of the worst generals in the history of this board.

Getting lucky with a jumpsuit early on, buying a shotgun, and taking Tech + Pike makes for a powerful jet-boosted nigger terminator. The AP count is insane

>>2444411
At least they added custom difficulty options. The way to play is 200% enemy supplies and uncapped loot.

>>2444336
Still waiting for more content.
Sure there are new squad leaders are going to be released along with new stuff, but I would like more story content and how the TCR will get screwed if the MENACE manages to take over some of their forces (or take over their combat androids).

the lack of a strategy layer makes it hard for me to come back

>>2445126
Does it go higher than 200%?

>>2444336
it was fun but it lacks depth
it looks great though
i think really it needed better cover mechanics but maybe more tools and enemies can fix it

>>2445680
>better cover
How so?

>>2445685
most maps are vast open spaces
cover only applies if you are standing right next to it (unlike xcom as foil)
it ranges from basically useless to utterly impenetrable with little in between
there are no interiors (which would make many weapons more useful and aliens less pathetic)

i don't want to say
>they should have just done xcom cover
but really i do because it is still the absolute goat
and i full appreciate that it's a squad based game so there is the argument that you simply couldn't have that system but there isn't even any attempt at a system which is more complicated than
>stand next to these tiles and get -15% chance to be hit
destroying cover might as well not be possible because it is never relevant and you can't create cover either

if it comes down to a dichotomy, i would swap the squad system for actual cover mechanics in a heartbeat but they wanted to make their game more accessible and simple than xcom et al

>>2445744
Indulge me, how isn't the cover literally how it works in nucoms? Without overwatch but with concealment but that's something else. A heavily urban planet would be great, that I agree with.

>>2445744
Because the game isn't about hard cover at close ranges, it's trying to mimic a cover/suppression system. In real life most things that are "cover" can be shot through and are mostly cover from observation than from actually being hit.

You people don't want them to iterate on their existing mechanics, you just want to play a entirely different game.

>>2445744
I dont mind most of this stuff bit i would like more interior stuff or entire levels even
>>2445656
Like a jagged alliance style moving sector to sector strategy layer?
>>2445114

I want this game to have ja 2 1.13's equipment autism

>>2445861
>i thought i was extra clever building him this way when thats what everyone does apparantly
For me it's jump armour, shotguns, tripod heavy machine gun and an explosive charge to throw. This makes him the one squad leader equipped to counter literally any enemy in the game.

>>2445896
Just too bad you could've brought two-three other SLs instead for the same cost.

>>2445911
It's only about 260 supplies, not that expensive. For half that you get real shitter squads or very specialized ones.

>>2445918

>>2445777
>nucoms
retard

>>2446009
Blame the devs for making side objectives pointless and lame.
>>2445784
You can shoot through cover in xcom and concealment amounts to
>equip the concealment armor and equipment
So don't pretend it's a good mechanic. It is also completely broken.
Moreover you never shoot through cover here. You just abuse op cover ignoring weapons. It's also why bombardier is the only alien which is at all threatening.
>In real life
A great deal of fighting occurs in urban areas and is close quarters combat. Arenas in Menace are already primed for it but you can't even enter the giant warehouses. Even the trailer shows cqc.
Some kind of cqc would solve the current issue of abusing range and concealment and armor being too expensive and shitty to compete.
Also battles aboard spaceships when? We are literally space marines.

>>2446029
The Fleet does the flying, the Mobile Infantry does the dying

>>2444336
game cool AND fun
ai needs more tools and smarts to counter concealment
needs more content

After normal became too easy I restarted on challenging and holy shit. Are you supposed to only do bug mission for your first operation? Pirates kept swarming me and with the standard weapon I had no chance to kill them quickly enough, because their numbers eventually kept surpressing me and the pilot ran out of ammo. Bugs were way easier sue to range abuse and once i had 2 crowbars pirates stopped being a problem as well

>>2446030
Ane space pirates in space suits called "boarding commandos" fight exclusively in atmosphere?
If the game never has battles aboard ships then I will be very disappointed

>>2446074
>pirates stopped being a problem as well
Skill issue. Good on you for overcoming it.

>>2446142
I wouldn't hold my breath for space ops considering how heavily they're already indexed into vehicles and indirect fire heavy weapons. But it would be neat if they added some form of indoor battles.

>>2444336
>is anyone playing?
No. Lack of strategy layer and too much retarded ai force most of players abandon. Even most loud degenerates go away from steam forum (maybe it finally can be place for feedback).
>im having tons of fun for now
Good for you.

>>2446166
Vehicles are op and cqc would make currently bad things serve some kind of purpose.

>>2446242
Hey, space hulk was one of the first games I ever played and I don't have a problem with them adding some more cramped maps I just don't think it's likely they'll do actual boarding actions short of a dlc couple years down the line.

>>2446242
>vehicles are OP
man there's some real shit takes around here lol

The new James Bond SL is the most ridiculous thing ever. Using the humble pistol to delete 3 alien warriors in a turn is pure fun.

>>2446157
Well scratch that, i just got destroyed on a 3 skull contract, had to reload like 5 times. Fuckers kept swarming me while a missle truck unloaded, couldnt rush it down because i got buried in bodies and laser trucks kept my vehicle from going in.

been wondering the same. this game is good, REALLY good, its everything xcom players wanted and needed that solved the "ogrewatch" issue by having layered turns and proper suppression mechanism
the only downside is that there's no indoor combat and lack of content, could also use big titty snake aliens for humans to marry and impregnate

>>2447365
You're being way too generous aka the game needs a lot more time to cook before being called good. That said if you offered a blowjob and cool mil in gold bullion completely for free I'd bet you there'd be some faggot crying bloody murder just to be nasty and or contrarian.

It is what it is.

>>2447372
Well I should've specified that the combat is what's really 10/10. Strategic layer and base management on the other hand is just so heavily WIP that I just didnt think about mentioning

>>2447374
Bro those are some piss poor standards if [use radar] + [move perma concealed sl into view] + [fire ATGM] = [solve 90% of the map like this] is a 10/10 gameplay loop for you. Game's got potential, sure, but you're going into the opposite extreme now.

Why? It makes her the best 1-star by far.

>>2447863
because i have to autistically lasthit every critter with her, i wish it was more of a passive thing or not there at all

>>2447859
I just wish she wasn't shit. It's obnoxious that you want to bring her to kill things, but she's so bad at it and generally only useful as a bag and belts monkey

>>2447910
>but she's so bad at it and generally only useful as a bag and belts monkey
I never had a problem with her accuracy. Just give her a kpac with hp ammo. That's enough for her to one shot anything other than some heavily armoured infantry. And give her a PAL so she can hit vehicles with its accuracy bonus. She'll generate loot well enough.

its kind of boring, they should add in subplot quests/events that affect the overall narrative

>>2447918
She also has trash discipline and defense. If it wasn't for her one gimmick I would never use her for anything. I don't like any of the 1 star heroes except the Jeet and only because he can use a crowbar to suppress better than an LMG, and can tank bombardier shots

>>2447903
Do what I do, which is two things: 1)use her as a heavy weapons team 2)and as cumpdump

>>2447951
The OCI update looks promising, I'm sure they'll add more to the narrative eventually if that's anything to go by

>>2447910
just take the good perks that make her a scout/utility character. loot doesnt really matter in menace past a certain point. how you spread your promo points out is actually more important

How good Sy is depends on whether you use accessory heavy builds or not. If you do, having her and Darby generate refills is very powerful.

>>2448867
>>2448870
So don't use her perk cuz she sucks and load her with accessories like I originally said is all she's good for? Thanks a lot fellas :)

>>2444336
No, I ended up dropping it because like almost every Hooded Horse dev it seems their only mission is to make the game retardedly difficult and remove the actual fun people want to see. I want a challenge, not a slog. Unfortunately I can’t refund so I’ll just leave it till the thing hits 1.0 and hope it’s good then.

>>2447372

>>2447372
just because its unfinished doesnt mean its not obviously the greatest game ever made

What is the point of healing items or skills if it doesn't revive squaddies?

>>2449174
He really does

>>2449163
the medium difficulty isn't THAT hard anon

They may be useful if you can get your squaddie health and damage reduction up to high amounts. For example Tech with Die Hard and Haemocetan can't be killed.
But I didn't find use for it in other situations. Outside of Die Hard, damage reduction is calculated weird or something because you can get it up to huge levels and still get wiped.

>>2449240
I meant for >>2449226

I guess the real MENACE was... uh...

>>2444411
Hadn’t played in like 5 months or whenever it came about and literally every new update since then has been like “new truck added :)” and even with that they come at a glacial pace. I’ll come back when the story is done, it’s deceptively short I was genuinely disappointed when it was over that fast and in a cliffhanger that feels like 1/3rd of the game.

>>2449163
The "hooded horse is hiding under my bed" schizo is back lol

Just started the game enjoy it a lot, what would you guys recommend for the IFV? I got the autocanon and HMG but there is the short barrel tank gun on sale, but isn't it dogshit at fighting other enemy armored hostile?

>>2449302
They added a new engineering mechanic for making gun upgrades out of Menace giblets and are reworking OCIs completely. Added 3 SLs and had multiple smaller patches in the meantime. Development pace seems okay for Germoids who get 9 months of vacation per year. Or i just have my standards real low because of playing Sw*dish games.

Squaddies are still useless though and still 3 planets only.

>>2447627
hes right tho, most of the answer people get when pointing out defects the game have feel like dev apologism

>>2449326
Its good for vehicles, it usually takes out a walker in one hit but im pretty sure you cant carry troops and use it which is 90% of the point in bringing the ifv.
Also a walker with two autocannons is gonna shit out almost as much damage while also being able to hit more than one unit.

>>2449311
By all means, keep your jerkoff session pure. I saw OP’s post and answered it, I had no intentions of arguing. Enjoy your shitty game, I hope it becomes playable

I find it absolutely hilarious how saying Menace is a good game causes some autist such catastrophical asshurt that he's forced to go on a crusade to argue with each and every anon that they're wrong

i just found out why this guy has such a hate boner for the devs. he's making an AI art version of Battle Brothers called Mercenary Brotherhood. the way the dev blogs for that game are written are similar to this guy's posts.

>>2449431
And he says the game is shit because only the meta play works, but when someone agrees with him he has an alternative meltie about about how the meta play is actually fun. Same with the AI. There is no point other than no one else is allowed to be right.

Haven't tried the irish chick yet but Corlaine is my least favorite voice so far. Sounds too much like some guy at the office trying to sound gruff than the mob hitman he's supposed to be.

>>2449382
Stop being dumb and gay. Grow up.

>>2449545
Roslin is the only one not annoying. The China guy is kind of cringe although it's fun when other SLs clown on him for it. And he has huge damage output. The being able to fight while low on squaddies skill is also a neat bonus but not something you should aim for.
About Corlain, did anyone figure out what to do with him? His skills make it seem like he should get up close, do big damage, and instantly go into concealment. Except the concealment thing doesn't work, the AI is smart enough to have object permanence.

>>2449563
So far I've just been using Corlain as a second Darby I bring along for those "kill less than 50%" enemies type missions. He's okay with a DMR and handgun.
Wei however is fun to use with a shotgun and jetsuit as soon as you can unlock his last skill. Zig-zag, buff, and his innate skill make him very difficult to kill after he's jumped up and destroyed two enemies.

>>2449563
Corlain with a pistol and AP ammo can delete just about any infantry unit in the game with a single round of shooting. I was using him in bug city missions cuz he can easily delete 3 warriors in a single turn of shooting and has unlimited ammo.

>>2450813
I'd been corralling them into the corner after they got morale broke, since on that mission they all spawn there. They avoided the edges my units could shoot at and were directly going towards the corner in the rocks. Only after the call-in did they scatter into my units line of fire.
The mission was over so it hardly mattered, but it was disappointing to not see them all get shelled.

bro, singleplayer strategy games have gotten to the point where any retard will stumble across at least one broken mechanic. The "meta strategy" in this case isn't what wins the game the hardest, but something you have to look up to find out how to make the game actually enjoyable to play

>>2450935
I'd only wish the schizo used a trip so he's easier to filter

>>2450931
Yeah. Heavy armour is also very rare while different drug types are readily available on the market from the midgame. And not even the heaviest armour will withstand stuff like laser lances and mining lasers .
In theory with maxed out hp upgrades, and using both drugs you can just take that and regenerate instantly. Depends on whether there is a cap on resistance though.

>I can't stop myself from using a broken mechanic

>waaaah then I can't play the game at all
You're a retarded nigger, fuck off
>>2450936
>any retard will find a way to break it and it's the developers job to stop them
>otherwise the game isn't fun
what are you even on about retard? Holy shit what a stupid post.

>>2450941
>just don't use or interact with half of mechanics
As anon said, with the same result we can just not play at all.

>>2450938
Shit, you came back. Everyone pack it up, the thread is dead.

>>2450941
yes retard, it's the dev's job to make a balanced game, not the player's job to endlessly tweak settings and restrict what he can use in order to have an actual difficulty

>HH shill is raiding the thread again
grim

>>2450946
Do you work for red hook? Having the developer endlessly micro balance the game to stop retards from abusing mechanics and whining about it cuz they just can't help themselves from finding and abusing them is fucking nigger shit. This isn't a moba and this isn't a problem for 99% of us
>but muh balance
It's a single player strategy game. Who gives a fuck you dumb cunt.

>>2450948
What are you even talking about?

>>2450949
the point is that there are so many broken mechanics it's more difficult to find something not to abuse you faggot, are you even reading? Did you start the game immediately knowing you shouldn't use x y and z strategies? How long did it take for you to make the game fun to play? Any game developer, videogame, tabletop, or whatever the fuck is meant to make something enjoyable off the bat, not require that from the player

>>2450952
Fuck man. Do you legit believe that?

Hooded Horse hiring shills to scream at anyone showing even the tiniest inkling of dissent toward a game is a well known practice.

>>2450963
>tiniest hint of dissent
What are they? The stasi?

>>2450951
while on this train of thought, I'll coin these games "inverse difficulty". Rather than learning the game to discover ways to succeed, your goal is to find out how to barely avoid losing. Mastery comes in understanding the ins and outs of skill/equipment combos and AI attitudes with the sole purpose to play as mediocre as possible. Close to roleplaying, but that runs the risk of stumbling across something that is too good in your desired setup, so it becomes more of a variant of metagaming.
perhaps some might see the appeal in this, but to me it speaks of lazy devs relying on the playerbase to fix their game while asking for them to pay for the privilege

to different degrees, correct. I disagree where menace stands on that scale

There's like 20 people on this thread tops
You might be retarded

>>2450990
I just don't understand what about this game has everyone so agitated. One guy is obsessed with shazam posting, another literally thinks the publisher is lurking in the thread to silence dissent, many minor things that are common to every game ever made are blown wildly out of proportion. It's kind of fascinating really. Nobody actually talks about the game, they only endlessly shit post about literally every single mechanic, every change to those mechanics, and every lack of a change.

>>2451002
it's a game I want to like but at its current stage too many of the details fall short of an enjoyable experience. But I still check it out each major update
otherwise it's simply that confrontational shitposting begets confrontational shitposting

>>2450974
No, stasi just partially funded them :^)

Not gonna lie I was expecting a lot more from the literal siege tank

>>2451055
Yeah it's a trap. The gun is such balls and its only use would be launching it into a cluster of infantry, but they all scatter long before it can get close enough. The battle tank isn't bad though. The armour and weapon selection can make for a real nice tip of the spear on certain maps.

I'm glad you're still here, your retarded meltdowns are the only entertaining thing about these threads

I wish I could justify taking him in the starting four, that increased supply cost is so painful.

This game seems to attract some serious schizos

>>2450936
>if this singleplayer game doesn't go out of its way to cull meta so autistic retarded niggers like me wont abuse it then its a shit game
Holy fuck shut the fuck up you absolute shitter

>>2451124
Never seen a turn-based singleplayer game buckbreak so many niggers before who'll fill the entire thread with autistic rage like its ASSFAGGOT game

Game's basically better XCOM combat and aesthetics-vise, why schizos target this game out of all things?

>>2451138
it clearly has the potential to be the greatest game of all time atleast in its genre. when youve played 15 terrible jagged alliance clones made by eastern europeans you will understand

how do I get the MBT?

>>2451149
Kill one (pops up in later Rogue Army missions) or buy it for exorbitant prices on the Black Market.

>>2451170
>Kill one
Unfortunately it's not actually part of the loot tables, you can get it on the market, but if you kill it in game (even with the option for every enemy to drop loot) it doesn't end up being loot.
Think it used to be a while back, but that was changed at some point.

When do they estimate it leaving early access? I'm very against playing games while they're in EA but I'm also very interested in this and Mars Tactics.

>>2451214
its gonna take years at the current pace to be realistic. but i dont think they will have issues with funding

For fuck's sake let me start a new game with different SLs so I don't have to play the fucking gacha roulette every time to see if I MIGHT get to play with an SL I haven't used before
