I played through vanilla, not sure if I want to go with that 1.13 mod or whatever it's at now. It looks like a case of "too many cooks."
Woody?
Jackson Young
try it
if you don't like it, don't play it
Ryan Clark
I liked Conrad and his engrish.
Sebastian Morgan
1.13 right away or play vanilla first?
Ian Moore
1.13 adds a lot of shit and ramps up the difficulty. Play vanilla for a bit.
Aiden Green
I fucking love putting my mercs under heavy fire only to hear them freak out.
Blake Carter
I wish I could play it, but it crashes on me every time I scroll the map with the cursor.
Owen Johnson
THEY'RE GOING BALLISTIC ON ME
Connor Hall
>>An Insane knife nut who cherishes his skills by carving the alphabet on people bodies while they are still alive. Ot atleast the vowels anyway
best paired up with a mental Cuban explosives expert who wishes after death to be a big black bird going from war to war and picking at dead bodies
Sebastian Stewart
Play vanilla first and then when you get sick of getting a pack of gum only from a guy who was shooting you with rifle, switch to 1.13.
Kayden Sanchez
how much will it take for me to get into JA2 as pretty much a tactical babby?
Andrew Carter
lots of save scumming
Isaac Martinez
3-4 days if you don't drop it the within the first hour.
Andrew Barnes

FUDGE
Ryder Johnson
Fuck this worthless cunt god I hate her so much
Liam King
That will do, Ira.
Brayden Davis
just give her a good rifle and watch those amazing luck shots (because high Dex and Wis)
Grayson Rodriguez
This game is fucking magical. >Buy it in a Steam sale Feburary because I hear it is good >Drop it for a bit >Come back to it three weeks ago >81 hours played
Also, favorite experiences with the game? >Give Stephen a Steyr with laser sight >He misses less shots full auto than my snipers do semi-auto
>340270715 WE STILL HAVEN'T GOT ALL OF DEIDREANNA'S MEN.
Angel Young
I still have no idea what to do when you cleared up Drassen
Alexander Diaz
kek
Anthony Wilson
Go capture other towns, take the SAM sites, train milita, send the Queen bitch flowers saying "Sorry for your loss".
Bentley Powell
>find the fat fuck priest, either in the church or in one of the bars >talk to him with Ira or someone with good leadership >optionally: return to Omerta a day later (or hire a new merc and land him in Omerta), go to the rebel base, talk to Miguel to recruit Dimitri
Parker Long
1. Train militia with Ira 2. Find the pilot 3. Capture the SAM site near Drassen 4. Get new mercs and form 2 squads 5. Send Squad 1 to Alma 6. Send Squad 2 to do quests in San Mona and capture Chitzena
Jackson James
The mercs and their lines, but boy could you run yourself into a corner if you lost a couple and then were stuck with the poor ones.
Zachary King
>a game which refuses to run properly without having to download an unofficial update, then an update for the update >it still boots to a black screen
bravo
Xavier Robinson
Steroid's are fucking 10/10. I have to play the game without wearing my headphones because of how much the mercs in general make me laugh.
>GROOVING! for the first time
Jack Barnes
>That gore
Is this a mod?
Kayden Brooks
underage ban please
Evan Howard
pretty sure vanilla JA2 also had explosive headshots you just need to do enough damage
Charles Ortiz
I don't remember fountains of blood in JA2, but I guess I never rolled crits.
Ayden Carter
I always loved the inventory management in this game and the sheer amount of guns you could get.
Joseph Gray
JA2 has a lot of gore, even rotting corpses.
Ryder Brooks
>start game >get to Drassen >dick around for a week >start new game >repeat
John Baker
>fucking up the install
kill yourself
Luke Kelly
even without 'enemies drop everything' it can quickly become a nightmare to manage
>Day 12 >probably about 80 guns still waiting to get sold to Tony >just can't stop stealing more guns off enemies
Robert Harris
A DRIVEN BITCH
Hunter Baker
I wanted to play this game once but then I read that after you've taken a certain piece/amount of land then a nearly infinite counterattack begins and you'll run out of ammo before you've shot all the baddies. Even that more soldiers spawn than there are people in Dressen.
Is that true?
Dominic Anderson
At some point in development that was the case, but they disabled it. You can enable it again in 1.13.
Anthony Gonzalez
It's not so bad if you're prepared for it. It's just that on your first playthrough you probably won't be prepared for it.
Also, in 1.13 there's an option to turn off the counterattack if you're a pussy.
Mason Perez
in vanilla, the Drassen counter-attack doesn't really happen you might get the occasional standard 20-or-so attack
in 1.13 they enabled the counter-attack. depending on the difficulty, it'll be 60-80 soldiers that arrive quite short after taking over all of Drassen. it's doable if you savescum and/or use cheeky tactics
Mason Hall
IM LEARNING
Oliver Howard
>Not training barney the dinosaur to be a mass murdering killing machine Smhtbqhfam
Benjamin Peterson
Not being able to window this game pissed me off
Installed it on an old-as-shit laptop, but the game did not or could not play as smooth as in these webms, and half the features of 1.13 didn't even work
man what the fuck
Ryan Ward
shame every sRPG after JA2 is worse. Sentinels come close but never had a personality
Colton Watson
works for me
try re-installing
Henry Jones
Huh. Alright then, I'll try again.
Love the hell out of this game. There is something magical about it
Lucas Turner
YFW you come across super secret swamp laboratory on accident
Jack White
Mfw they shoot mortar shells at me from the rooftop
Ayden Harris
>yfw drassen counter-attack, your assault rifles shipment from bobby ray's didn't arrive today, and all you have is pistols >"Well... Whatever you were expecting isn't here. Could try again tomorrow."
Jackson Robinson
This but also dick around in san mona and rarely chitzena. How do I force myself to complete it?
Not really. It's only in the mod and it's like 1 full sector stack of elites, not infinite. With careful recon and ai exploiting it can be completely trivialised.
Jack Morales
There's a fuckton of cool places to go. Desert prisons, alien bugs in the mines, you can go build a robot, recruit a serial killer into your team, go beat up some lions with your bare fists, go nuclear on bunch of retarded rednecks. I usually find cool stuff to do, unless until the Capital.
Austin Gutierrez
Well fuck, now I want to play it yet again. Can't decide between going solo+locals or squads of mercs tho. Can you start with mercs only, no mc? I don't think I ever tried.
Alexander Brooks
been wanting to replay and so been wanting to ask. heard it first from /k/ and played with their recommended setup which include a mod/patch for loads of weapon/guns and tacticool shits. is that mod the 1.13 patch or it something else entirely? it's years ago so i can't remember/dig jack shit
Jaxon Carter
Sure you can
Austin Davis
Love this game. No better turn-based tactical combat exists.
I'm not too good at it though. Made it pretty far but never beat it. Scared to try 1.13.
Cooper Perez
Hey boys I really want to get into JA2 1.13.
Wich mercs are the best to start a new game?
Daniel Sullivan
Most likely it was, but ja2 modding history is complicated with some major projects and minor forks/branches/add-ons that more often than not end up as part of main 1.13 setup, sometimes disabled by default.
Julian Baker
How different is JA2 from Fallout Tictacs?
Jeremiah Price
I liked her. Thought the accent was neat. It was like she was choking on a dick when she spoke.
David Nelson
your IMP, MD, Barry, Grunty or Grizzly, Igor
Brody Cooper
Igor and Blood. Both are cheap, have great agility, learn quickly, and get along with some of the game's best mercs.
Kevin Harris
Get someone who can swiftly train your militia, like Wolf or Raider.
Charles Smith
How was this allowed?
Oliver Harris
Thanks for the fast replies i will try it when I arrive home
Ayden Robinson
>capture 4th town >tanks start rolling in Watching them drive over every fucking obstacle in the fog of war is kinda nerve racking. Is there a way to disable them? They were buggy as fuck in my playthrough.
Hunter Roberts
The ex-swat duo is well balanced, not too expensive, morale-boosts each other and friendly with some of the best mercs later
Owen Ortiz
...
Evan Johnson
Right I made a new start with the aussie with a shotgun and Buzz, liberated Drassen and gonna do that
But I got a floppy disk, what should I do with it and where is the pilot?
Jaxon White
keep the floppy disk. you can recruit slay with this.
assuming you changed the ini setting so he stays forever
the pilot is somewhere around drssen, talk to the locals they should give a general direction
Jason Myers
when I installed this again I used the windowed mode trick and everything, but the strategic map interface is eternally grayed out and none of the features appear.
Bentley Parker
Vanila ,puppy fag
Charles Harris
Best rts ever. Oh why! OH FUCKING WHY HAD THE REBOOT HAD TO BE SUCH A HUGE PILE OF SHIT!!!! GOD WHY!!!! NO NOOO NOOO YOU MONSTERS BASTARDS!!!!!NO NO NO !!!AHAHAHAHA NO !!!
Jaxon Butler
>rts U wot?
James Peterson
Is Gold the one I should get? There's also Wildfire which is apparently worse. I'll probably just get the original on GOG, but it's still weird that Gold is 20 euros on steam, and the original isn't even available.
William Sanchez
oh well ill just try the 1.13 first then. any dl link, or it's available from steam workshop?
Bentley Walker
Steam version dont works with 1.13 so its better to go for GoG wich fully supoort the shitton of mods
Ian Barnes
Great, GoG is cheaper anyway. Still, weird that JA2Gold on steam doesn't even have user reviews.
Luke Taylor
Read this
Ethan Reyes
Thats because valve remove all the neg reviews an the game at this point still don have a positive review
Robert Price
Meh I can think of at least 10 games where you can play as all those characters.
Jayden Collins
post them nigger
Gabriel Carter
already got the steam version from last year sale, what do? pirate it? people say it's work fine with steam version but i think they talking about 2011 build or something, not the latest 2014 one
Sorry no time, I... have to... uhm.. do laundry, yeah laundry. Sorry.
Tyler Barnes
Hide in a room with no windows, close the door. Drop everyone who opens the door. 90 times.
Jayden Gonzalez
A lot. For instance, they don't have that retarded crouch-walk animation, and stealth actually works in JA2 (that's one of the worst things in FO Tactics), although it's not really viable until you get a few items first.
Liam Walker
I think there is. In Vanilla they're always behind pillboxes, they don't move.
Easton Nelson
Drassen is pretty trivial when you realise it doesn't activate until you take the third sector. You can just take the mine and the airport and then spend time buying weapons and training militia.
Levi Sanchez
7.62 hard life/high caliber
Levi Stewart
good choice. Thats still not 10. I just wanted to call that nigger out on his bullshit.
Gavin Walker
Vanilla JA2 is not that hard. I was able to steamroll through the game in a couple hours.
JA2 1.13 kicked my ass though even on the lowest difficulty.
Squad leader with grenade launcher and machine pistol is my favourite main character.
Michael Hall
But still, those mercs are just as wacky as the JA2 ones.
