Al Cu Ad Solte posted:Are you talking about Ghost Ops? iirc it had some utterly atrocious netcode problems that made it all but unplayable and it took them too long to fix it so the fanbase that had waited 5 years for it just peaced out and never returned. Sucks because the production value was up there. Unfortunately it was just another CS clone gameplay wise. Not the same thing but for some reason this triggered the memory of how there was a Matrix inspired half-life mod called The Specialists that after hyping up their big 3 or 3.3 patch cant recall, disabled a core mobility move and turned it into a collectible powerup in a game that had never before had such things and basically instantly murdered the community.

I hope youre using a version of the specialists before they disabled superjump by default because that killed it for anyone who wasnt roleplaying.

zindryr posted:We're using 3.0, which actually has it disabled for the most part. In my quick check through of a number of the maps, it appears to be on a map by map basis though. I do have a number of custom maps which might or might not have it enabled. Do you know if there's a server setting I can flip to try to make it on by default because you're right, we should definitely have that going normally. As I recall that is non changeable even at server level, with maps or hacking it required, and the only reason I remember that is because that one change killed the game overnight.

Daggerfall is a massive game, utterly gigantic which is impressive both for its era and all subsequent games. Morrowind's playabe area is 24 square kilometers while Daggerfall is 161,000 square kilometers. Other than size its not a very good game and theres a reason they went to Morrowind after Daggerfall

Al Cu Ad Solte posted:I'd love FEAR 2's updated weapon models, mech combat segments, and level variety but with FEAR 1's everything else. I like FEAR 2 but the story is so whack and it ends on such a bland note it feels like it's not worth playing. Some of the pacing is off too. Feels like it takes far too long to finally get out of the underground lab in the early game. Wait, FEAR 2 has a bland ending to you? The game that ends with you getting raped? I mean the level design is bad, but I skip all cutscenes and I remember that ending.

Lemon-Lime posted:The writing is a one-note, puerile joke, the neon aesthetic is fun for an hour before it gets incredibly boring, and the gameplay is a dumbed/scaled down version of FC3's that isn't even saved by a couple of funny weapon ideas, which still feel generically identical to vanilla guns in spite of having a different model. Yes, but unlike Far Cry 3 it only lasts about an hour so its way better

Clicking to pick up items and move them to two different inventories, with a third inventory they get automaitcally sorted into for only one variety of item, grabbing things through impassable walls, repeated textures making a fairly basic level path more confusing than it needs to be, click to open doors is same as fire and contextual, that sound effect

Outside of the godawful opening tram ride and weak Xen bits, Half-Life 1 is a well paced, fun, and set piece shifting shooter all the way through. Half-Life 2 basically doubled down on all the bad parts of Half-Life 1's gun play and cutscenes and then went absolutely insane on set piece variety to the detriment of being a consistently fun or cohesive game

fishmech posted:I don't remember there being odd keybindings by default, saving and loading really shouldn't only bring you to the start of the level. Maybe you were using one of the patches to make it run better and you didn't apply it to the right version (retail patches VS steam patches VS GOG patches) Im playing GoG, so maybe I missed a patch By default arrow keys are move with the right side of the keyboard being most of the games other actions which seems to require a strange extending pinky when it wants you to do literally anthing but shoot and jump. I genuinely also cant believe theres no way to select specific weapons directly or go forward and backwards through your weapons but its what the controls say is the case.

I get that it was standard, it just has so many button that need to be used that only your pinky can access its noticeably bad unlike slightly older fps with less going on. RiffRaff1138 posted:Go to Controls, Player Controls, Weapon Key Bindings. Individual weapons are mapped to the number keys just like every single PC FPS in existence, and you can map Next/Previous Weapon to the mousewheel from there if they aren't already. Is that a submenu? The button config I was in only had "select next weapon"

Thank you for the screenshots because on my menu screen that option literally doesn't exist. It only has three options, starting with "Go To Multiplayer Setup" Did I not install a patch or something? Edit: Firgured it out; that menu and buttons are only for Wages of Sin; vanilla Sin doesn't have them and by default Wages of Sin also only lets you scroll upwards through weapons with scroll down through weapons by default unassigned.

Ok, so the issue is absolutely don't run this game through Vanilla SiN because boy howdy are their tons of scripting fixes by running the game through Wages of Sin. I can also confirm an extremely dumb joke that at the start of the ATM you can hack an account by using account "123456" with password "1234"

Welp, once again PC gaming thwarts me. SiN is unbeatable for me as every-time an enemy shoots a grenade launcher the game hard crashes instead of allowing the grenade to explode. Edit: The grenades are more destructive than I thought; when it crashes from that all my keybindings get reset to defaults. Barudak fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Dec 30, 2018 |

Unless it's an issue with your renderer (I switched back to the default 3dfx/nglide one after I learned bumping up the gamma lets me actually loving see) I've got no idea what's up. Ill try fiddling with that before I give up. Ive had a long history of inexplicable game ending bug issues in my pc gaming so this isnt exactly new to me that Ive hit an impassable wall. Edit: Rendering changed nothing, I'll never know what sound a grenade makes in Sin but I assume its that standard sound library one one thats like somebody hitting a quarter full trashcan every FPS game from its era used.

Youre also irritatingly fragile in DNF so enemies dont come in large waves very often which is just sad. Theres a part fairly early on where duke makes fun of being offered halo armor and I was like, dude, a stiff breeze kills you put it on.

crondaily posted:Could someone fill me in on how the mouselook works when playing games that didn't have it, like Doom? Doom just automatically points your gun bullets to the elevation of the enemy. Its why you can very comfortably play Doom without a mouse at all, its basically a twins stick shooter from first person view the only aiming you need to be responsible for is aiming towards the enemy in general. Later games introduced elevation that mattered and didn't have mouselook and the results are... bad. TekWar bad.

Lemon-Lime posted:You can see your legs/torso while looking down in-game. Phew, not a missed mechanic, just a visual thing. I'm curious now what the first FPS to have that is. I know Breakdown for sure had it in 2004 since that was a selling point to the game and it had a whole kung-fu system where you sort of needed it but I think you could shoot your own legs to no penalty in the first Halo.
