Truman Peyote posted:right, i was unclear. i mean that i tend to bounce off games where you start out somewhere that nobody appears to live in. your party is there, just rampaging through an empty dungeon. (maybe it's shorter than i'm remembering because it was literally 15 years ago that i was playing this.) The big bad totally lives there, along with his dryad harem (who tell you all about how he can't get it up). I'll grant that it's kind of long though, especially if you're actually exploring it and not just speeding through it because your already know where everything is.

i played it for a bit i wrote a cool "cloud computing" script that would automatically and efficiently distribute your hacking tasks over every server you had access to, which i thought was pretty cool. then i got to the first reset and had to manually bootstrap back up to the point where it was going to be useful and decided that nah, that's enough for me

it's really funny how nowadays you can get a terabyte ssd for like a hundred bucks, but it still holds the same number of games as a hundred dollar hard drive did back in 2000

on the screen resolution i originally played it at, you'd be running around doing cool poo poo and then you'd suddenly stop and your view would start rising, and you'd look up and go "oh another stupid loving barnacle" it was much better when i replayed it in slightly higher definition and could actually see the tongues

they were also really annoying to replace separately from just buying a whole new microwave in the era before easy e-commerce, if, purely hypothetically, you took it out of the microwave to clean it and dropped it on the floor and it shattered.

I didn't play Reach because it came out after I'd moved away to college and didn't have my xbox-owning friend around to binge co-op with. But based on the wiki page, the macguffin in Reach wasn't "ai tech", it was "an artifact with the location of a Halo ring". Cortana and the other AIs predate the events of Reach.

i assume if they really wanted to they could have an aim assist, where if you're close enough to pointing directly away from you it'd snap to pointing perfectly away from you letting you just aim like a regular fps game.

a decent number of modders basically used the existing game as an sdk for making their own games though that seemed to drop off significantly once unity came along, I guess most of the people so inclined decided to switch to making actual indie games instead of modding

quest logs are good for people that play only a little bit occasionally because it lets you pick up a game a few weeks later and still know what's up and what you should do next but it's not surprising that the people who binge through a whole 40 hour game in a single weekend think that they're "dumbing down" and "for casuals".

A Wheezy Steampunk posted:i never played tf2 but i've thought about trying it. i think someone told me tf2 matches tend to be longer, more like 20-30 minutes? if you're finding a team and playing a competitive 6v6 or highlander ladder then yeah sure, if you're just joining the pub matchmaking queue then not really. also you can just gently caress off whenever when you're pubbing, there's no obligation to stick out the whole match to avoid letting five people down.

A Wheezy Steampunk posted:leaving early is kind of bad manners in overwatch, you're saying that's less true in tf2? if you're playing the 12v12 pub mode then literally nobody will notice or care if someone else leaves in the middle of a round.

A Wheezy Steampunk posted:i started with training mode with bots. i liked the scout, heavy, and healer the most, soldier was okay, demo was okay. having three weapons is throwing me off, as well as not always being on the blue team. i died before running out of ammo every time so that doesn't seem like a big deal. i joined the casual 12v12 mode and joined a match part way through, finished that one, then played most of another. i liked it a lot, both maps were "2fort", and voting for a new map is nice. there was also a lot of voting to ban people which made me a little paranoid, but i just typed "i'm new please help" and people were pretty nice. someone helped me find and use the dispenser to heal. Nice! I love playing soldier but he's not very fun unless you're reasonably confident in your rocket jumping - having the mobility to attack from different angles is a big part of the fun. And other than bullying snipers on the battlements you can't really do much of that on 2fort anyway. Payload maps are I think what most people end up playing - since you're familiar with overwatch the game mechanic should be pretty recognizable. The average sweatiness of play might be a step up from 2fort though.

echinopsis posted:dirt rally 2 is well over 100gb A lot of it is good optimization (for consoles that still store their games on spinning rust). If you have an asset like a lamp post or something, that's going to be duplicated dozens of times in the game data, so that whatever segment of the level the player is loading in to will still load in one sequential disk read.

3D Megadoodoo posted:Did Xbox 360 games really look this Legoy or have I hosed up some settings? I need to do a 360/Series X a/b test. I'm pretty sure they just looked like blurry garbage because you were watching them at 30fps on a 720i television. I wouldn't be surprised if they looked kinda plasticky in HD. No-one's putting effort into details that won't be seen at the design resolution.

I thought the big FPS games (CS, Fortnite) made their bank selling hats, slot machine spins for hats, and subscriptions to indirectly get and/or gamble for hats. I know there was that star wars game that experimented with slot machine spins for in-game advantages, but I'm pretty sure they abandoned that after all their customers got mad. Are call of duty and battlefield doing microtransactions for better guns or something?

Jenny Agutter posted:dont know about cod but latest battlefield doesn't have that, in fact it is so hosed i don't know if it has any microtransactions. generally games are moving towards the battle pass model, you'll pay to get the chance to unlock gun skins and horse armor but mechanical progression is the same for everyone tbh multiplayer fps games shouldn't have "mechanical progression" at all as a new player i should get dumpstered by a teenager with hundreds of hours of gameplay because they have better reflexes, better aim, and hundreds of hours of experience and understanding of the flow of the game. not because they just have a better gun than what i'm allowed to use.
