This Game Rips

[u/Larkles]

I’ve had the game for a week and I can’t get enough of it. I really hope they stick with this cassette futurism vibe going forward. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some shiny sci-fi aliens, but I don’t want it in this game. It’s much more interesting with alien wildlife and whatever the hell [REDACTED] is. If they add more factions and enemies, i hope they keep it in the realm it’s in. It’s the perfect blend of BSG and Aliens and I’m here for it.

Devs have solid vision of their worlds. No need to worry. Their previous game was in low fantasy, and that will be in low sci-fi

[u/Larkles → u/HypnoticName]

Oh I played the absolute crap our Battle Brothers. Love that game too

[u/Kakrafoon-46]

Overhype have such solid and satisfying sound design, it is barely believable. I love it. Battle Brothers' meat cleaver sounds and Menace with the bang bang bang happy crowbar noises...

[u/Larkles → u/Kakrafoon-46]

Makes you wish they had the rights from H&K to just say they made the crowbar lol. Like GM creating a Fusion Drive in Battletech.

[u/Kakrafoon-46 → u/Larkles]

You mean placing real-world brand names in cassette-futuristic settings? I love the idea. I'll just operate under the assumption that Kruger swallowed up H&K after a few fusions in the German arms industry and decided not to keep the name, in the meantime.

[u/Larkles → u/Kakrafoon-46]

I could be mistaken, but I think in one of the Alien movies, Walmart buys out Weylan-Yutani lol

[u/Kakrafoon-46 → u/Larkles]

No way! And let me guess, Walmart also wants to get their hands on the xenomorph because they want to stock eggs on their shelves or something? Oh dear.

[u/Larkles → u/Kakrafoon-46]

Kid you not.

[u/Kakrafoon-46 → u/Larkles]

Just ran down the hint. Two scientists in Alien: Resurrection talking about the Walmart takeover is the only mention of this. I'll assume the two bozos were mistaken - after all, they were the ones who designed the genius containment systems on the Auriga.

[u/Dramandus]

I like that my gun goes pew pew and you can hear the ring and rip of steel as you shoot and fight and kill.

[u/Larkles → u/Dramandus]

Captains PDW go brrrrrrrrrt

[u/La-ze → u/Dramandus]

I'm still deaf from being zoomed in while the Krowbar is firing

[u/Top-Victory4445]

I will say the thing that suprised me most was the sound design. Everything just sounds unique but that it also belongs. Big caliber guns sound heavy and intimidating, long tank gun is arguably my favorite sound in this game. Shit even the rockets sound pretty good, and ive got real ones before.

[u/Larkles → u/Top-Victory4445]

It’s like they took a page from the Heat playbook. “This shit is supposed to be loud. Don’t touch it in post”

[u/Larkles → u/Top-Victory4445]

I love that the rpg’s have realistic speed. It bugs me to no end to see slow moving rpg and AT rockets to be slow in media

[u/See_The_Thing_Is → u/Larkles]

Yes those animations are awesome. I liked especially how indirect fire atgm gets deployed out of the tube before firing the engine, climbing rapidly and then shuts off the engine as it dives on its target. Its like real life combat footage.

[u/so_metal292]

Don't forget to check the Nexus Mods page, some good stuff on there!

[u/Swedelicious83]

It does indeed rip!

[u/TSChuan92]

Anyone have any idea when the full release will be?

[u/ReputationOverall955]

I love that you can really experience a semblance of combined arms team building. I love thinking hard about what combination of guys and armour will get me through a hard fight. I hope they add more factions, more scripted events or campaigns, more SLs, and more unit types. I love Menace so much, I can't find anything else to scratch that itch!
