hahaha Friendly reminder that Unreal Tournament 99 and 2004 are abandonware, and can be found on Archive.

Until we meet again!

there was an internal leak a while back that epic games was gonna update and rerelease UT3 as a free to play title with zero microtransactions and crossplay with steam/gog/epic and then it got cancelled

it was my last hope for the franchise after UT4 got cancelled

What ~~Venture Capital~~ Fortnite does to a studio!

I honestly hate this ultra-realism trend in all games.

RDR2 is a great example of it. I spend most of my time feeding, cleaning, and taking care of my horse, oiling and cleaning my guns, taking baths and feeding my character (but can't feed him too much!), as well as maintaining the food, medicine, and whatever else for my gang.

But when it's time to be a bandit can I go rob a bank by myself? No, the game doesn't allow that outside one mission. What the fuck. Lame ass game.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 10 months ago

I didn't played RDR2 but something like this is the reason i absolutely avoid any game with "survival" tag. Empty pseudo content, not much better than gacha grind.

i love my riding horses and taking landscape photos and petting dogs and making campfire stews simulator

Still the most satisfactory railgun in the series imho (even outside instagib modes).

carries the entire arsenal but only uses two weapons

One thing I really have to hand to the Doom 2016 gameplay loop: you can tell they really worked hard to make sure you couldn't do this. At multiple points you're basically required to use every single weapon just because it's the only way you actually have enough bullets to do it.

[-] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

Doom Eternal also forces you to use more than one gun, but without pushing you to max conserve ammo. There are different weapons and combos that work better for different monsters, and unless you play on the easiest difficulties, you're forced to learn it.

I think it's by far the best of the Doom series to the point that I don't know how they can do a followup without it feeling like a downgrade or a DLC.

[-] a_little_red_rat@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

One thing I actually enjoy in many modern shooters is the iron sights mechanic. Even if it doesn't change much, it just feels so cool to have an extra step when aiming, and I miss that in older games. I grew up on Doom, Blood and DN3D but aiming down your gun is just rad as hell

And also, no shooter has ever surpassed Stalker Call of Pripyat for me. That was literally the best FPS I've ever played

No spinfusor catgirl-disgust Tribes 1 CTF was the best, every subsequent version has been slower and worse. Tribes 2 gets a pass because it at least kept modding as a core part of the game.

If only BFG ammo dropped like shotgun ammo...

Couldn't hit a Pfhor trooper from 15 yards, but having a semi auto underbarrel grenade launcher made up for it lol

[-] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

Broke: Concentrate on high-fidelity graphics and set pieces, constant emphasis on "realism", health regenerates when hiding behind cover like a coward, player commits fictionalized versions of real war crimes while the game tells you you're a hero

Woke: Shitty PSX graphics, constant high-octane organic set pieces as a result of the best mechanics ever, recharge health by literally bathing in the blood of your enemies, game makes it clear you are an omnicidal blood-fueled gay robot and 1000% the bad guy

This is operation flashpoint / ghost recon / swat 3 / rainbow six erasure

[-] uSSRI@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Flashpoint had such a fun level editor

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

if you haven't check out arma 3 one's where you can real time edit shit in 3d. blew my mind back when that became possible

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You can literally play a RTS on Arma 3 with your friends or alone. Just enter the editor mode and spawn a Zeus Module. I remember having a lot of fun using this with mods.

[-] lelkins@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 9 months ago
