Valve spends the money they save by hiring people to come to your place and read their messages while you play. Gabe ftw

Mordja posted:Babe, new Doom 4 trailer just dropped. Cool piece of history, but I thank my stars that Doom managed to skip over that generation of games. Both 3 and 2016 look great, but there was that period in between where "Dark, bloom, and monochromatic (choose your one color)" was most large budget games with a gritty atmosphere.

drrockso20 posted:Well at least in the present day all it takes is like 5 bucks on a trading site to get every unique weapon in the game and probably a couple hats as well, it's actually pretty cheap to get cosmetics if you just want the basic kind, it's only when you want Unusuals that it generally gets expensive Sure, but you shouldn't have to engage with a third party trading site in the first place. Of course, a big part of the problem is that when TF2 went free to play, Valve immediately started making the crafting recipes 300% more dickish in order to drive you towards buying the new weapons outright. Before that the recipes were a lot more fair.

And buying weapons directly from valve even less so after 2010. You're making up very weird grievances about that game.

My primary way of getting the new poo poo was to craft them using my otherwise useless dupes. As soon as the game went F2P the recipes went from reasonable to requiring multiple copies of the next latest set of weapons. Ie, the ones I was guaranteed to have the least of. Has nothing to do with it being a "big part" of the game. It was just another facet of Valve tinkering with their mtx strategy. John Murdoch fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Mar 5, 2023 |

By the time the game went f2p you could easily trade any weapon for a scrap unless it had only been out for like a week.

verbal enema posted:h0ly gently caress a 4 team mode? i gotta get back in Its not actually very good, never enough players for one thing(on a standard 24 player team it means only 6 players per team) and too chaotic even for a game like TF2C* Though at least until the next major update for TF2C itself the most exciting thing to do in TF2C is to hop onto a custom weapons server and embrace the madness *again this is for the fan made Team Fortress 2 Classic, not for regular TF2

Fond memories of spawning bots far in excess of the prescribed amounts in UT’99 domination maps, one half telefragging the other half due to insufficient spawn nodes for the first 15 seconds or so, and then indulging in the complete abject chaos of 4 packed teams crammed into a level built for 12 or 16 players.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Gunman Chronicles is really cool. I played it a few months ago using that Steam version and it's really fun. There's so many crazy ideas in it. Yeah for real. At the time, I found it to be such a wild setting: a dusty retro-futuristic confederate sci-fi, a robot army run by not-Shodan, a bizarre alien zoo...and dinosaurs (of course). The arsenal in particular is so weird and complex, even with the "basic" stuff. A pistol that can fire hitscan beams, charged or rapid spray projectiles, AND a sniper mode? A shotgun that can be cycled between different modes (Rifle, Shotgun, and Riotgun) AND you control how many shells it uses per shot (1-4)? The MULE rocket launcher, Polaris Blade, and Chemical Gun all have like a dozen different firing combinations, but there's also strange stuff like being able to use the MULE's ammunition without the launcher, the malfunction modes on the Mecha Gun and Polaris Blade, etc. For a game with basically six guns, the devs certainly wrenched every bit of utility out of them.

Gunman Chronicles owns and I agree with every point made in this conversation That said, my one issue is that you can’t save your favourite weapon configurations - every time you switch guns, you have to reconfigure them manually. Unless there’s an option I missed…

So obviously this isn't a early FPS, but I was watching a pair of videos of The Finals, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCVLiQk2Npg and it has jump pads, high ttk, light / medium / heavy 'classes', it isn't a Battle Royale or a 'Conquest' game mode, it has stuff like the invisibility + dagger from the TF2 or the Pyro's flamethrower or deployable turret, it has an "announcer" voice, and dunno, I had vibes as if it was a 00s Source or UT mod.

It saddens me that CS:GO's community browser is filled with spam. CS: Source and 1.6/CZ have a handful of servers with weird custom content. I miss the era where game devs turned a blind eye to rampant copyright infringement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln59fWw0Xz8

The big draw seems to be that environments are almost entirely destructible ("almost" is a necessity to keep it from being completely broken) but it's handled server-side to make it work better for everyone. Promising if true.
