Try out Aero GPX! It’s an indie game w/ a demo on the steam store and it absolutely nails the physics from GX

Eh I played through the game with the rides disabled and didn’t find any impact on my experience. It did feel like the only way the combat was fun was on critical mode, despite still being floatier than I’d like.

Dlc content slaps tho

I definitely agree, and the playstyle of the characters are super fun across the board. The only time I had a bad match was when I got a bug where I couldn’t teleport as pocket (really nerfing my kit) but in general I love the feel of the game

Remember Our Promise

Are the bugs really initiating the attacks? Because with the distance between Klendathu & Earth it seems pretty obvious the movie is trying to imply the bugs aren’t the ones sending meteors at the humans.

When I rewatched the movie with a friend recently he was surprised that the movie ended with what felt like an anticlimactic resolution - because the war keeps going forever (or so it seems). I really like the interpretation that Starship Troopers (the movie itself) is an in-universe propaganda film used to recruit soldiers to feel important and make a difference in the war effort.

I played CoD 4 on the DS back in the day as well! Agreed the double tap iron sights were terrible, but I was surprised at how much they preserved the setpieces of the game.

Have you played Metroid Prime Hunters? Thats probably my favorite shooter from the DS area. The single player campaign can be backtrack-heavy with no real plot, but the shooting is fun and the multilayer mode with bots is a really good time!
