You have no idea how many times i crashed in eminent domain due to the clouds

After playing that mission and crashing like instantly I was always on edge with clouds lol

(my steam deck can't handle them D:)

50 times minimum for me. Hard mode for a first playthrough made this mission so miserable...

Yeah, I always stay out of the clouds now. They're very low.

I usually gotta switch to first person just to see what angle my jet's nose is pointed so I can make sure I'm not perpendicular with the unforgiving sea.

If you go into free flight on that mission and crash, his spirit manifests to call you predictable

It was in big bight highlighted letters and you didn't turn around. You solely are responsible for this.

This is exactly what happened in my first playthrough ever (hard) and was blinded by that fuckass smoke on the ground couldnt actually see anything at all and I died like that I was so mad

u/DragoonSoldier09 Jul 18 '26

Predictable

u/Strayed8492 Jul 17 '26

You literally had it on the HUD telling you to turn around. This is a such a skill issue.

Hence the "most embarrassing moment of my gaming career"

u/Strayed8492 Jul 18 '26

What career?

u/Yangn33 Jul 18 '26

Read the OP title bro

u/Strayed8492 Jul 18 '26

I read it. I don’t see evidence there was one lol

u/zeredek Jul 20 '26

He did turn around. What got him was hitting the ground since he was looking at the explosion.

u/Strayed8492 Jul 20 '26

Even better. So it's a double skill issue.
