yeah sure you don't like pressing the same 20/30 buttons in the same order every 2 minutes, so how is reducing your active buttons to 3/4 for damage and then pressing a shield and a regen every 30 seconds any better?

unreal tournament only needs seven buttons and a mouse wheel, and that includes the movement controls. Simple. Pure. Elegant

i am not ashamed to admit that my main motivations for playing MMOs are pretty princess dressup, taking screenshots with the boys, and also idling somewhere cool overnight

im a dps class that occasionally will mash a button to save your life, but i wont' do it too early, because tanks sometimes need to be reminded who's really in charge here

Elegant did anyone other than me play UT3? i played a shitload of it back in the day, much more so when UT3 Black Edition was released. apparently no one else did which seems to be confirmed by the fact that of the top ~20 rarest cheevos on my Steam account more than half are for UT3. i really enjoyed it. the addition of necris vehicles in black edition was dope and fun as heck

I play DPS and simply don't give a gently caress about whether I'm doing good since it doesn't meaningfully change the outcome (boss dies) since I don't play on savage or whatever I care a lot more in wow because there my goal is to murder other players

UT99 is my favourite in the series, had a great map selection (even better with the many community maps) and a sweet soundtrack that I still listen to.

The other special move is apparently "rear end size", so I'm definitely picking up on a theme here.

UT2k4 was the high point of the series. Buck Turgidson posted:UT99 is my favourite in the series, had a great map selection (even better with the many community maps) and a sweet soundtrack that I still listen to. Ut99 will always have a place in my heart, but you can essentially play UT 99 inside 2K4. There's a map pack that ports over all the maps including the music, and another mod that brings in remastered versions of the UT 99 weapons with all the correct damage and firing rates and everything. 2k4 is all you need. I listen to run.umx regularly. carry on then posted:i played ut3 for a bit as well. i liked the addition of the weapon-specific killing sprees, always fun getting ROCKET SCIENTIST or w/e Yeah I think that was my favorite part too lol. 2k4 only has headhunter, flak monkey, and combo whore.

I miss the abstract as hell level design of those older arena shooters. Part of why I enjoyed Cruelty Squad, gave me a similar sort of feel in an immersive sim type package.

i love whm, it's my favorite ffxiv healer. sage is fun and active, but whm is just good and chill. scholar is Good now, but i've just never been able to wrap my head around it properly. i have everything at 90, but i don't really play anything other than dps at cap tho, mostly just smn, dnc, and drg. i also haven't really played much in the past six months, because i've been playing old jrpgs instead. currently towards the end of dq8 and just started ff9  Roosevelt posted:the special move is called Afflatus? is it fart magic? well, there's afflatus solace, afflatus rapture, and afflatus misery. afflatus as a word is like some weird "divine inspiration" thing but also means "to blow on", which i'm guessing has the same root word as flatus. but yeah afflatus misery is probably a sorta fart joke. that said, it was a whm spell in FFXI first, and was reused in FFXIV. on a similar topic, i went through and played through most of FFXI's main story content last year (well most of the expansions), and obviously a lot of final fantasy content is reused or shifted between games, but it was still surprising to see how many storylines are similar between FFXI and FFXIV. and the game as a whole was better than i expected, although the UI is absolute dogshit.
