Bottom post of the previous page:

Dead money I fucking hated. The story was cool but it was bullshit. One should play it, but the story is completed when you do all the dlc. Honest hearts actually ties in heavily to the legion story. And lonesome road, thematically should be done right before the final battle if you ask me.

It's not as though it's possible to be short of caps in a 3D Fallout.

With the mods I got?
Happens all the fucking time. Barter is actually an important skill now, and those asshole merchants will strip you clean of caps, chems, cells, cartridges and clothes just so you can afford another bottle of water.

Brigador is so good.

It's like a Syndicate, Desert Strike and MechWarrior put together.

You can take Rail Gun and punch through a row of 10 aparment buildings cleanly through.

played Spelunky HD multiplayer with Leoz (we used frozlunky for multiplayer) yesterday for an hour and 21 minutes.
Despite the distance between us it was surprisingly responsive.

Frozlunky, lets you install mods/set map seeds/play multiplayer over internet (2 players max) - this bit requires port forwarding or something like tungle/hamachi.
It's a free program.

Frozlunky is really damn good. We had like 200 ping, but it was running flawless. And this is not even an official multiplayer, just a mod. And spelunky is pretty fun(especially when you are a ghost and throw enemies at your friends).

Now that's not fair.
Do you know for sure they didn't bother? or just weren't able to do it justice so rather than shipping broken multiplayer they went for good local multiplayer.
Netcode in video games is complex shit.

I suppose what i meant was that I am surprised they did not stick with it to develop it, as if it was online capable i would have a very easy time convincing my friends to buy it

Remie Richards · Mon Jun 05, 2017 6:56 pm

You say it would bring in sales, but would that offset the costs of (most likely) outsourcing development of the multiplayer to a competent team?
I'm not quite so sure.

Yeah
SS13 is at that point where it feels old, but still looked consistent and nice enough to work, you can think about it like ASCII and let your imagination fill in the rest.
Suspend your disbelief and look at the game like icons moving around representing things rather than a true graphical representation of spacestation life

Wurm is at that point where everything looks like you've got eye issues and need -20 or so glasses, there is just enough detail to disable the imagination but not enough to look good
And the grind is absolutely horrible

Lumbermancer · Tue Jun 20, 2017 1:53 pm

I was thinking of buying it, but it seems too simplistic and featureless for $40 pricetag.

But it made me think of good submarines I played. Did anyone of you play Submarine Commander on PSX? It was also arcade, but fun as fuck. I think I'm gonna find an ISO and emulate it.

Yeah, I mostly play medic and engi, too.
Never got the hang of scout, used to be a halfway decent pyro.
Also an extremely annoying spy, which seems to be all that class is good for.

Depends on the map

There's a lot more nuance to the design of 5CP maps than, say, an attack/defend map.

I have a lot of appreciation for well designed 5CP maps like Granary's simple but solid and Badlands' non-linearity.

Well is too biased towards the winning team and Fastlane is just garbo. I have a personal liking for Freight, though.

My map Coldfront was a study on Granary, but I recognise the flaws it has (2nd flip flops too often, and last is too open. Also chokepoint issues all-around).

I love control points but i've only ever had one game of it where both teams were competent and it was the interesting back and forth gameplay it's designed to be

I feel like I'm the only one not a big fan of attack/defend

I'm also a turbo casual and enjoy playing 2fort/dustbowl however

not turbine or servers with fast respawn, though, I have SOME standards

Ikarrus · Post by **Ikarrus** » Wed Jun 21, 2017 11:20 pm #311163

Turbine is a good CTF map, and for the longest time was the only one worth playing until Doublecross came out.

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Thu Jun 22, 2017 12:24 am #311186

Turbine is/was terrible
But then thats mostly because it didn't work well for TF2. I can see how it would work for something else though

>One route goes past the enemy spawn, so practically not a thing unless you're playing with less players than classes
>Other route is a tiny hole that a single demoman can hold against a large amount of people
>Third and last route is set up so that sentries will fuck up everything and you will need an uber just to reach the intel room, which will usually be full of shit as well

Just play 2fort if you want that, I have no idea why anyone would want to play turbine

Qbopper · Post by **Qbopper** » Thu Jun 22, 2017 12:51 am #311199

I dislike turbine because it feels like it wasn't made with tf2 in mind

scout is able to do ridiculous burst damage with the scattergun, pistol is a decent retreat weapon, and if you take the sandman you can shut people down instantly

if you know how to get around people it's insanely easy to take out a person or two and hide again

he's better on larger maps with more routes though (eg. not payload, which is probably your issue)

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Thu Jun 22, 2017 3:55 am #311237

Scout is more about not getting hit than about taking the hits and keeping going
And Shooting medics in the back, but spy is better at medics usually

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Thu Jun 22, 2017 7:55 am #311270

Medics are faster than spies, though. Any medic who stays alert is going to be a bitch to backstab.

it's not as difficult as you'd think, if you've managed to uncloak behind enemy lines unnoticed you're likely going to snatch a medic kill

Borderlands 2 despite the memes has aged oddly well. I think it's the enemy variety, FPSes I've played have gone downhill like a cliff compared to a game where you actually have to switch up weapons and tactics regularly.

Qbopper · Post by **Qbopper** » Thu Jun 22, 2017 2:41 pm #311359

I really dislike borderlands despite liking games like diablo with all the loot, and FPSes are pretty much all I play

and I'm not even talking about the wiring, that's irrelevant, I hate the gameplay

the movement feels too floaty and shitty

the gunplay feels wimpy and unsatisfying

there's too much shit loot (and I know this is common to loot 'em ups) for the inventory system and it makes it a pain to micromanage

I mean if you enjoy it by all means don't let me stop you but it's such a damn shame that it takes a lot of things I like and combines them into what I feel is a mediocre and boring game

tales from the borderlands was fantastic though, twd season 1 level of quality game imo

Professor Hangar · Thu Jun 22, 2017 3:40 pm

Agree wholeheartedly that Tales from the Borderlands was better than it had any right to be, it's what got me interested in the shootbangs again.

Something about a setting being viewed from the perspective of characters that aren't traditional protagonists for the genre is really interesting, being less physically powerful yet having more narrative agency.
