    I don't think it was clear at all. The mission is rescue "something." You don't know what you are there to rescue. I think it was perfectly fair on my part to assume that I was rescuing a drone (it's a cyberpunk game about an AI, a drone party member would fit fine). It's just very frustrating because I could have easily beaten the mission with no complications had the game clearly messaged that the drone was not my target objective, and now I have to fail a mission and lose having a full roster.

    You can see all the possible recruits (in silhouette) when you first start a game.

    and, sure, you might have lost a full roster ... this time.

    The game is pretty random. I can't speak with certainty, but afaik?
    a) there's no set number of rescue missions. I'm looking at a post where the player had a full roster when the game generated one;
    b) it's possible that you can rescue someone without being on a rescue mission (I don't remember one way or the other); and
    c) I suspect that there are some runs where the player just isn't offered rescue missions (or won't take one because the risk / reward ratio is off)

    Sorry you're having a bad time

    Invisible Inc. does way better than XCOM in facilitating retreat as an option. Every mission is a thin line between success and game over, so it's much needed.

    I ain't playing Slime Rancher until it hits full release. I've ruined too many of those sorts of games by early accessing them to death.

    mrs. egg was playing it like a month or so ago and it looked cute, but hella incomplete

    not at all, there's a ton of content and it all works fine. they're just adding additional slimes and areas at this point.

    it doesn't need a story, it's a farming sim

    the UI is great; I don't see why they would bother changing it

    Yeah I think the UI is OK. I ended up uninstalling it for the same reason Dubh is holding off.

    Also Factorio 0.15 is coming out very soon and I'll lose another 60+ hours to THAT shit real fast.

    Yes. It quickly got too complicated for me, but I enjoyed the easy missions well enough.

    It is very much about optimizing your production lines with limited money and space. If that appeals to you, go for it. There's other stuff like research and market share etc., but that's the main thing.

    This update adds nuclear power and fluids tankers for trains! Also really high res textures for most stuff in game and enhancements to the science loop. I think 0.16 is intended to turn into 1.0 when they like the state it's in.

    There's no single standard for version numbers, so it doesn't really mean anything. I'm not familiar with Factorio, but if they're using the Major release.Minor release convention it just means that it's the 15th release and isn't an indicator on how close they are to 1.0.

    What if it was both?

    And then halfway through the game Bayonetta and Vanquish Guy swap power sets.

    I wonder where it would be, though. One of the devs said that if it weren't for Nintendo, B2 wouldn't exist... which makes me wonder how linked future entries would be.

    I doubt Nintendo bought any control over the IP when they published slash bankrolled Bayonetta 2

    So it would really come down to "Does everyone except Nintendo turn them down again"

    I dunno, man. it's got that huge arm it's attached to which itself is attached to a vest. That thing probably absorbs most of the impact.

    3000 PSI is meaningless without an area and a leverage ratio.

    That looks like a really unnatural "punching" motion for a human arm, so I'd be inclined to think if that swing arm extended with any real speed and you were really holding on to that thing hard that it'd probably hurt your wrist and maybe dislocate your shoulder.
