Fair enough, I ain't judgin' just was curious

Now if anybody is curious about the games themselves: Scav Protoype is a 2D procedurally generated scavenge-survival game, developed by Orsoniks.

Casualties unknown looks cool but I can't tell if it has guns/combat or not

Gunsaw is.
(Which is the sequel to the Casualties: Unknown)
Which takes place 10-15 years after

I guess think of it like Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel? I dunno.

Weak sauce. The injury system in C:U looks neat but I don't wanna playy as some wimp that can't fight back and breaks thier leg every 5 minutes

Your purpose
Players control an Experiment, forced on a mission amongst thousands of other Experiments to obtain a "piece of important experimental technology", which was lost by a "miscalibration error", as a form of behavioral research on the species.
Each run begins with a different specimen, with a randomized height, age, and ID at the top of the health panel.
Thousands have been sent before you, you are not the first.

Casualties unknown looks cool but I can't tell if it has guns/combat or not
It has guns and combat but it's entirely optional for now
you can get a pistol, assault rifle and shotgun, and ammo for them, though gunplay is tricky (at some point they want to add more races to play as, one of them gets a bonus to guns like they do in gunsaw)
It's mostly useful for killing enemies but not needed, people have killed some of the strongest foes with little more than a machete

why didn't you say it has guns in it? ya just said it like "oh its in the other game but tnot this one"

You didn't ask what weapons there are.
"Casualties unknown looks cool but I can't tell if it has guns/combat or not"
and you replayed talking about Gunsaw, which no one gives a shit about
prime agate
If you have ANY weapon, you'll blow your own head off.
Even if it doesn't have ammo.
full mountain
and then posted the in-game intro about how you were meant to just be an experiment who's meant to die
drifting fjord
Ye but shotguns fire multiple bullets so they tend to uh... pack more punch, instant death
prime agate
Gunsaw has the MOST gunplay and combat.
full mountain
and then just said "oh it isn't a game for everyone"
full mountain
Because that is not a good combination... at all.
nah see if it were me, i'd just make my character get over it
like its not that hard
drifting fjord
I mean if you have fent it's very easy
Just drug 'em up and they're happy as can be
full mountain
But of course these Gen Zs and Alphas don't have the gumption to pull themsleves by the bootstraps and get work done
so of course its gonna be hard
see, back in my day i have to walk to the important experimental technology school uphill bothways in the snow
drifting fjord
fent gives a huge mood boost so if you have no other option, and really don't want to mindwipe... just gotta put up with the addiction, withdrawal is a bitch

Yeah, drugs.

From what I'm just seeing, this looks like Gunsaw with limb damage mechanic.
drifting fjord
Limb damage is a thing in CAS:U
drifting fjord
Even amputation, if you get too bad an infection that you can't seem to control (easy to avoid if you have enough glowy fruit, might be harder unchipped though (that was the only time I died from sepsis)
prime agate
Oh yeah.
Unchipped.
A mode where you get the 'Fog of War' and no health panels
Fun!
drifting fjord
I got an unchipped modifier on layer 4 and didn't know how it worked so I ignored an infection
Even though I had a device telling me "LEFT CRUS INFECTED" and I was like "wtf is a crus"
prime agate
Yeah, modifiers can screw you up if you don't know what you're doing.
drifting fjord
So that's why I didn't manage it... because I didn't know dog anatomy xD
Wasn't even the sepsis that technically killed me, it distracted me from the fact that I had a grav bag... that was out of battery.
prime agate
Oof.
Yeah, another thing to note for the people here: If you ever have a grav bag on you at all times, when that runs out of battery. It'll literally explode.
drifting fjord
As soon as I got it under control with some antiseptic spray I literally just found it blew up on me and since I was already so weak I didn't even regain consciousness lmao

Chat's dead, let's talk about swords before the mods notice.
Personally I'm fond of the Tang Dao. Chinese swords don't get as much attention in fantasy compared to European and Japanese blades which gives them novelty points, but the Tang Dao specifically combines some of my favorite aspects of the Tachi and Katana (which it is a predecessor for) and some of my favorite aspects of some generations of Jian.

What I did with tekken 7, got it for like 10 or 15 for the whole thing.
If you chase the current trend, I mean good for you, I'm satisfied with tekken 7, and what I hear about ppl always complaining about tekken 8 being easy and simple and has mechanics that make it not like the Tekken they used to know, I'm fine with staying with tekken 7

Monotone voice, something feeling unnatural the way things are said, and what is said having no meaning or payout or any actual info for you, all feeling like you are held on the line with empty words that make you believe there will be some sort of answer laying at the end of it.
Then after a minute checking the channel description and it's from Spain (no offense there) but the voice had no spanish dialect, it was some american dialect, and just the rest as well of the channel, looked like slop AI printed videos.
Urgh, I thought I would get someone actually explaining something they themselves noticed, but I didn't, more and more I'm actually getting turned off by youtube and it not showing me stuff I would actually be interested in watching, not that I constantly get bombardd with AI channels in my recommendeds, thank the gods no, but it still are channels that are just not feeling genuine and polished quality topics.
The Subscribtion feed is also relatively empty despite being subbed to so many channels, most activity there is daily are Japanese Vtubers, the music channels I'm subbed to get supressed in my sub feed, so I always forget about those, like DJ Cutman.
I think I will just cut my losses trying to find something on youtube, check in once a week or biweekly and see if something new and interesting is in my actual sub box.

What's your source on that? It's not a particularly uncommon design choice.
Was a long time ago in an interview why they pick ' body type" instead of male / female and the dev said American want ugly characters . In most modern game you have preset male / female char with defined stereotype yet they labeled as type 1 / 2 , meanwhile in Palworld you can do mix match of them , so body type is in it truest meaning here.
