The Rising Storm team is made up of the best independent developers from the modding community and several members of the development team at Tripwire Interactive. This doesn't have a release date yet, does it? I'm not buying it but I do want to play my free Rifleman class (aka my free "whatever gun I want because I can just follow idiots around and pick up their guns" class) to see how the game has turned out. I guess they're jumpy about setting a release date after the whole RO2 debacle, eh?

That's how it worked with DoD:S, CS:S, TFC, Alien Swarm on Source, and the retail release of KF, right? Those were all new games.

I actually don't care if Ramm-Jaeger is a huge rear end in a top hat or a huger rear end in a top hat, I hate TWI for adding unlocks and a crosshair and MkBs to the game, but yes, as if we needed more reasons not to be TWI fans.

Captain Beans posted:In the RO2 thread there was talk about RO2 owners getting the ability to play RS but with limited class selection without purchasing RS. Is that correct?

SERPUS posted:I'd like to see a good sniper map. Maybe two buildings and some rubble piles divided by an impassable river. I would love to see a combined arms map. Just use T-34s and Panzer IVs from base RO2. It's not like this game is realistic as it stands.

I'm mostly mad about the unlocks system, the "Action" mode, servers with bots, mega zoom on iron sights, extremely steady bolt action rifles, and the way my character psychically knows when he has killed someone with a bullet so t hat he can remark on it, out loud, to himself, ruining the whole "we moved the kill messages to be a few seconds after the kill so that your eyes don't flick to the upper right every time you take a shot from long range" thing that is one of the only changes from the original RO that makes the game better rather than worse, and MkBs. But yes, being promised stuff and then not getting any of it was also not cool.

Rei_ posted:I dunno guys I'm playing Action Mode and the game doesn't seem to understand that I have no actual military training, nor do I know where anything is or what I'm doing, and I just sort of follow the running people until I get shot in the head and then have to wait another 20 seconds to do it all over again so MAYBE less realism is okay?

It's actually very simple, you get more people on the point than the enemy and capture the point and then you win. But really, this can be summed up as "I was honestly expecting Battlefield," which sucks for you but there you go. This game isn't Battlefield, it has never been Battlefield, and no matter how much they try to gently caress it up it isn't going to be battlefield. The confusion you describe in your first paragraph mostly fades when you realize 99% of the player base is too stupid to even engage in the kind of self-introspection it takes to realize that having your experience is evidence of doing something wrong and you use this newfound knowledge to just run around like a nutter shooting people in the face, but there's always going to be a lingering bit of "this game is unforgiving." Because the game is unforgiving. That is its nature. If you don't like that, fine. Then don't play the game. Play Battlefield. But lots of people like blacking out and screaming "OH GOD MY LEGS." It's an experience that not a lot of other games give, and most games don't give that experience because it's one that most people don't enjoy. Welcome to the world of niche games! Enjoy your stay, or don't. That said, if there's anything you're confused about that the tutorial didn't explain, let us know and we can explain it. It's hardly the most complicated game in the world but you're right that it's unfriendly to new players.

Honestly I'm just sort of glad that pants didn't go the way of tanks - at least they're in the game.

Tanks worked pretty well in Mare Nostrum and I remember some fun Darkest Hour maps with tanks. A combined arms setting is really where tanks shine, if you ask me. They add a lot of dynamism to the map: the positioning of the tanks completely changes how the infantry game plays. In other news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUlhkac13SE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUlhkac13SE edit: I just realized I posted this in the thread already, way back when I made it. Which is weird because I just watched it again this morning and then it turns out people had revived this thread so I was like "hey let's post this video" but like... I did that last time I posted in here... TychoCelchuuu fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Mar 12, 2014 |
