I'm a rumble hog so all that hullabaloo about HD rumble got me excited. It's still the #1 reason I would like a switch at some point. I just beat Doom 64 but I'm gonna have to play again with a controller just for those sweet vibrations.

Instead of a simple motor with an imbalanced weight that spins, it's a Linear Resonant Actuator and functions more like a speaker to the extent that with some clever sampling, you could even make it actually play intelligible sound. This gives it a much larger range of tactile response. Here's what it is inside the joycon:

Rumble HD is great, I just wish the actual analogs on the switch weren't absolutely awful. Joycons are really neat but for the price they should be more durable in my opinion. I'm thinking on getting a switch with Doom 1/2/64 and games like Animal Crossing (that loving meme got me interested) and so and joycons feel really uncomfortable for me so I'll have to add a gamepad on top.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:team fortress 2's readability is bad for a competitive game, but perfectly fine when you look at it as a dumb funhaver game When was matchmaking added to the game? I don't mean the ranked/elo stuff, but like any form of it at all. My time playing TF2 was entirely before any of that happened, when it was all server browser/private server based. Team Roomba/2F2F is how I actually found something awful. Speaking of which do you know if any people from that community are still around on the forums or otherwise? I know Luigi Thirty still posts, but that's about it But anyways, IMO the casual funhaver experience was already diluted a lot when they introduced hats and trading and Valve-run matchmade servers, and sort of caused the old private server sourcemod type of community to wither away. CSGO did the same thing, but Valve actually comitted to keeping the game in a proper competitive state instead of going the TF2 route

Lemon-Lime posted:What's a good wad that's just, a bunch of fun fights with next to no switch/key hunting? I haven't really given D4T a shot since the last big update and I can't be bothered to play through scythe2 yet again. I'm phone posting so I can't provide links, but my recommendations should all be easily found with googling and searching Doomworld. rf1024 - a fun megawad full of maps in a 1024x1024 play space. Each map should only take a few minutes to beat. Running Late 1 & 2 - episodes that are influenced by Skillsaw's works*, typically small maps (though they get larger near the end of each of the two WADs) that centre around combat set pieces. Running Late 2 has some fantastic maps in particular, such as Map 10. Crusades - an e4 replacement for Ultimate Doom that is really fun. Richard Wiles makes some really great layouts that just flow from start to finish, and he manages to eek out a lot of cool fights from the stock Doom 1 bestiary. * in the unlikely event that you haven't played Skillsaw's maps yet, ignore everything else I've said and play Lunatic, Vanguard, Valiant and Ancient Aliens. Gloomy Rube posted:I'd like to ask for the opposite. What's a good wad with few fights and mostly puzzles/switch hunting? I've already played that enormous no monsters map and the wad where you have to learn a language to complete it and Cyberdreams. Is there anything else in the puzzle or low combat exploration genre that's a must-play? Ol' No Name by Octavarium is an obscure gem that has an admittedly harsh and out of place map 01, but maps 02 & 03 are amazing tech base crawls with a lot of cool progression. Nihility (by Years) won a cacoward a few years back so you may have played it, but if not then I can't recommend it enough. It's one of my favourite sets, an episode 2 replacement for Ultimate Doom that oozes atmosphere. Someone else mentioned a few Ribbiks maps but honestly most of the stuff he's released in the last 4-5 years, played on Hey Not Too Rough (I've been playing a lot recently in this difficulty, thankfully Ribbiks caters to stuff below Ultra Violence) - most combat set-pieces feel more like puzzles than anything, although less exploratory and more figuring out and applying solutions to many pressing situations, one after the other. Similarly, I played Disturbia by Death Destiny (again in HNTR), and this map can be seen as a puzzle in resource management more than anything else. Dunno if that interests you but I love this kind of stuff. Warlock's Hearth - a huge explorative map with a lot of cool pieces of progression. Edit: also, map 06 of Hellfire Dreams is a really weird yet impressive take on a puzzle map in that you're in a large sewer system that you need to drain in order to complete, only you gave a limited number of radsuits and ammo/health in order to beat the map. It's very polarizing but I personally love it. The whole mapset is worth playing, but this map in particular stands out. Lastly, if you'll allow a self-plug, I recently made a map for Jimmy' s Isolation project which features a lot of exploration and resource management (Strain 1, map 23). I really like how it turned out, so that's another thing you could try out if you're looking for that kind of thing! an_mutt fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Apr 7, 2020 |

If you move up a street or something though, your allies seem to get more aggressive and will start plowing through enemies more. I think my favorite post-CoD 2 campaign is Modern Warfare 3. It's so unapologetically balls-out dumb. The Paris mission (missions?) are/is particularly fun, schlocky action. Plan Z fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Apr 7, 2020 |

Having played a bunch with both D4T and D4D (which is similar but uses a pointbuy system instead, which leads to choice paralysis), I think I want something in between the two. I've toyed with the idea of cracking open D4D and rewriting it to act more like WOA; have it automatically allocate points you earn towards the weapon you're using at the time, with a fraction of them spilling over into non-weapon upgrades. I'd need something to do with the points once each weapon is maxed out, though -- in WOA it's less of an issue because it has like 10+ levels of upgrades for each weapon.

John Murdoch posted:Is it time to argue about best Calladoodys? UO is my favorite one in practice. There's maybe one mission I don't like, and it's not even that bad (the second British mission, where you're in The Netherlands). I like that Big Red One has some interesting and unique settings (for an American campaign), and it plays well. CoD 2 has like 3 really good missions that require you to go through a bunch more missions that haven't aged well. CoD 1 has the same problem I have with 2, but there are more of those good missions in the mix. CoD: Finest Hour is easily the worst campaign I've played in the series, next to maybe the latest Modern Warfare. It's a shame, because it has a lot of cool ideas. The whole game is just put together really, really poorly and contains every horrible game feature from that era of action games, from single-checkpoint missions to insta-fail escort sections. I still do love this speech at the start of the Soviet campaign, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv2ONRJ9tMQ

Black Ops 3 was okay for it's single player as it did a couple neat things in regards to both story and gameplay around the fact that the player character is a super powered cyborg*, but definitely not a game worth spending more than maybe 10 bucks or so on Shame it got stuck with the abysmal CoD multiplayer attached to it(both the regular kind and that dumb Zombies mode)
