The modern cliche of genius black man/woman goes back to 80s films, with stuff like Die Hard promoting it heavily. But rather than it being a man, it's now a woman because even male niggers are lower on the victim ladder.
You might argue that this is a different trope, but it would take magic for a nigger to be a genius so it applies.
Not even magical negro, at all. The magical negro helps the white guy out and then fades into the background. This is just another bad mix of black science man, heckin' nerd, and gurl power.
Unfinished Business is the only JA game I've been able to complete because I don't like the strategic layer and that stand-alone expansion is purely about tactics. I am ill-suited for reviewing strategy games.
Jagged Alliance 3 is a 14.45 gb game. The graphics are good; its all very lush and tropical, which is my favorite setting, after underworlds. Lucky me. Controls on steam deck are navigable, but I'm sure kbm is much better. Its strange % to hit isn't displayed. Instead, you get a tool tip that gives you + or - for chance. wtf I took six of those chucklefucks with me to Ernie Island, which after clearing becomes your first base. (I'm hoping to see pirate missions on oil rigs and tankers in future expansions.) I haven't gotten a vehicle yet. Santiago is definitely a shady lady... no sign of ayylmaos or secret experiments yet. There's mod support. What else?
Games are impossible to optimise. Optimisation is not taught in code monkey schools. It also wouldn't benefit the hardware jews if the games required anything less than 800$ graphics cards to run well. Just let it go and go upgrade your rig, pay pig.

PROS:
Tactical layer has a lot of options.
Stealth is a viable option when it fucking works.
Overwatch farming is possible if your shooters don't suck balls.
Explosives are fun to use, especially on CQC.
MEH:
Night-ops are a mixed bag with the enemy just fishing burst-fire damage through blind fire.
Party banter is hit or miss.
SHIT:
It fucking uses pod behavior, when combat starts the enemy can take a move turn. This leads to utter retardation like your stealth knife merc waiting for the guy he just stabbed in the neck to run away. What the fuck were they thinking.
No Bobby Ray. No, you can't buy guns in a mercenary game about guns. I found a few vendors but they were all worthless.
Can't sell your guns anywhere so far, and mines will eventually run out. Yes, all of them.
There's more, but so far it's a 6/10 for me. I'll update the post when I'm further into it.
