The correct approach is to have communication be a part of it but you can only select from a list of possible messages. This could be on a wheel in combat, and for anything outside of combat like outfit recruitment or organizing it can be a more expansive Souls-like system. A well designed multiplayer game shouldn't have boxes for text input after the password. Was Gundam Evolution the one where it feels like you're just a regular guy in a dumb suit because they just used bog standard shooter maps and told everybody to theater of the mind that these walls and ramps and boxes are like 10x bigger than they'd normally be?

Communist Thoughts posted:I don't play multi with voice basically at all anymore but back when I used to I never heard racial slurs, is that an American server thing or was I just lucky? it's worse on american servers but pretty widespread in general depending on the game. I remember when PUBG first came out you were guaranteed to be deafened by 3-4 people yelling the n word in public voice chat in the pre round setup, but public locational voice chat added a lot to the game itself once you were actually in a round so I got in the habit of muting it pre-round then enabling it once on the ground

if you play battle bit but have not hosed with a drone it's extremely cool to just chill and watch the battle. unfortunately you will get gently caress all points for spotting. but it's fun to chase groups around and pretend you're a bomb drone but never bomb them. that causes irl tick damage from stress

Subnautica was good. Really wished it was a multiplayer assymetric team game with base building though. being a commander and doing a good job felt so good. there were a bunch of weird team based games back then that kind of didnt get replicated today and fostered good teamwork communication. project reality was good as heck too.

Subnautica would be approximately 3 times better with a better inventory system, it’s the absolute pits and drags down the rest of the game

below zero removing all the fun stuff from subnautica and instead making it a game that has like 20% land segments and a smaller less interesting underwater world makes it pretty clear NS and Subnautica were flukes and they are not capable of making a good game now

In early NS i remember you could shoot the pistol as fast as you could click the mouse so people had scripts to just press it every millisecond or whatever and have a 10 round machinegun. pretty sure they "fixed" that

any shooter where there isnt a gun that you can bind shoot to scroll wheel is loving up.

"hey a game about going deeper into the sea. lets uh, not go deep. let's be on land a lot. let's have some jump puzzles. our locomotion is best in class" wonder how that happened

going on land the first time in Subnautica was cool because it came out of left field and felt like something special. then you get through that segment and you think “wow that sucked rear end glad I won’t have to go back there again”

God drat ns was a great game. So tense in the early part of the match because everyone is weak and racing to cap nodes and then by the end you've got guys flying around with jetpacks shooting grenade launchers at onoses . Admittedly some of the mechanics were a bit clunky but that game was so addictive it nearly ruined me
