My first fps where you could look up and down was actually Halo 1, the one I played before that was classic Doom and you couldn't look up then, I played it with the arrow keys on pc. When you start up Halo 1 there is a test to check inverted vs abnormal look and I guess the first one just stuck with me. Probably because of having played a lot of flightsims on pc back in the time.

Arcsech posted:Not yet. I played a little bit of Pillars of Eternity II on cloud yesterday. I played it locally for a bit and enjoyed it, but the load times on my One X were unbearable. Playing it on the cloud was a night and day difference and it made me feel like one of the cool kids who has a Series X. I jumped right in from where my save point was locally, but then I realized I had no idea what was going on anymore and gave up after a little bit. It’s definitely something I’ll use for single player games like that. Having to switch my controller between the PC and Xbox is a bit annoying, though I have a free Stadia controller I can use plugged in (allegedly I didn’t try) that would be fine. I’m also not sure how party audio is going to work. I can connect my TB700s to my computer via Bluetooth, but the mic doesn’t work. I haven’t checked, but hopefully Golf With Friends makes it to the cloud. I’ve played a bunch of that over the last year, and there were always more friends that wanted to play, but don’t have consoles.

99 was amazing as well. I know a bunch of great games came out but that combo of Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 was  MarcusSA posted:They are perfect for emulation I’ll start with that both of them can emulate up to the PS3 with only minor issues GC and PS2 are no problems. Thanks for the info, I'll keep an eye out for the new GPD win max since it seems like the amd version of that will be really good. Surprised they're powerful enough to handle emulation that intense as well, that's a nice bonus. SUNKOS fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Jul 5, 2021 |

So no matter what direction you hit during that Halo 1 tutorial, the camera should pan up. It was dynamic IIRC.

This is kind of a weird swerve but since we're talking about FPS after Doom why were the Colombine kids still playing Doom? I mean Unreal and Quake games had been out for years. what was going on with that?

The momentum was always pedal to the metal and some of those long range frags are legendary.

CuddleCryptid posted:normal vs inverted is a easy divide, it's just if you see yourself as the character moving their eyes or as an abnormally focused domininatrix that grabs the character by the back of the head to make them look at things I've never understood this argument, because if that's how you're picturing things, then you would have to invert the X axis as well

The combination of constant motion due to skiing, constant air time and constant lead timing with blast area weapons was just so viscerally satisfying. Like the loving ASMR of gameplay. Does any game do anything similar or have that same intoxicating feeling?

I’m forcing myself to get into the Master Chief Collection multiplayer to prep for Infinite, and man Halo multiplayer shooting is weird. I loaded up CS:GO and CoD after because I legitimately thought “Maybe I’ve just gotten old the past couple months and suck at shooters now?” Nope, can kill people just fine in those. Halo is just something else that I can’t figure out. I feel like I get three full BR bursts near the head region but somehow they get two on me and I die.

Body shots and finish with a head shot in the third burst of BR I believe is the trick.

I'm pretty sure Wolf3D was my first FPS, but Quake 2 was the first really big one. Me and a few friends "installed" it on every computer in our high school computer class, and once the teacher saw what he was up against, gave in and surrendered the semester to us. He made us watch video footage of his recent eye/cornea surgery as a final exam slash punishment for how ridiculously we flipped the class over. I became an Unreal Tournament fanboy after that and I can't remember why. Looking back, I made the wrong choice, but that's life!

Doom II was my first FPS and my first 3D one was probably descent although I never had inverted look. Ive always preferred inverted for flight as it makes more sense, but halos uninverted flight also makes sense.

Halo has always been best when it's close combat, punching and grenading. The game should be fast and hectic with bodies flying around. BR's has ruined that, makes the gameplay a bit boring imo.

Think my timeline is right here - and the first FPS game for me was CS 1.6 , but I spent my prime gaming years on Quake 3 Fortress which is still the peak of my gaming life. I was in clans and all that business, and I became a working (paper) boy so I could afford to upgrade to ISDN internet. Those were the days. The quake 3 mod Rocket Arena 3 was also a highlight. Waiting to take your turn to 1v1 with a crowd of spectators was as close as I got to being a big league sports star. I bought Chivalry 2 a couple weeks back from CJS CD Keys for £11 using their VPN method, and that games actually pretty damned good. I'm still struggling to maintain a 1:1 KDR, but its a lot of fun and never feels frustrating due to the fact you're usually fighting a bunch of people at once or stabbing some sucker in the back. Content scale is definitely (low amount of maps, not that many classes, no story, no singleplayer, not many classes/weapons) but you can't beat the feeling of screaming as you go into battle and behead some sneak that's hanging back as an archer. Fact that it's 64 players is awesome too, feels like a genuine big battle - especially at chokepoints. Edit: my timeline was wrong, it was pre CS 1.6 I was playing Crafty fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Jul 6, 2021 |
