Finished System Shock Remake. I really liked it, it don't know how it compares to the original in terms of difficulty, but as a seasoned scrounger I ended up with tons of ammo and health items. I had to consult a walkthrough a couple of times, it would have helped to be able to make text notes on the map and maybe favorite emails/logs. Combat could use a bit more hit reactions from the enemies. Cyberspace is bad, should have put that on Easy. For a first proper game release from a studio and a remake of a beloved classic it hits it out of the park imo. If you take into account the development troubles (NoClip has a short documentary about it I think) it's a bit of a miracle tbh.

Must have been not as easy to hit the sweet spot between an over 20 year old game and today. I didn't play the original back then, but it still gave me the great feel of 90s games trying to explore a world on your own. Something a lot of new games don't achieve anymore (regardless of production value really)

Yeah I am really enjoying System Shock Remake. I think they did a great mix of modernization but remaining true to the original.

It’s a little heavier than you might expect from the graphics; it leans a little harder into the team play than BF, more towards Squad in terms of everything has a really defined role. That said, it’s 100+ people on each team so ultimately if you just wanna spawn and shoot dudes for an hour it’s very easy to not really care too much about all the rest.

I wish there was a mod for the SS remake that reduced how much inventory space guns take up so I could carry more of them.GhostDog posted:Finished System Shock Remake.

Combat could use a bit more hit reactions from the enemies. Cyberspace is bad, should have put that on Easy. I ended up with tons of health items too, never felt really flush with ammo though. I ended up using the melee weapons most of the time. It's even the best weapon for fighting cortex reavers (with a berserk patch). The recycler mechanic is pretty anti-fun, but as long as you only buy mods you probably don't need to interact with it much. I wish I had enough self-control to not pick up everything and haul it back. Even scraping stuff feels bad because you usually get half as much credit after scrapping as you'd get if you recycled something directly (scrapping items usually gives 5 scrap for each credit it is worth recycled, scrap gives 1 credit per 10 scrap, i.e. half value).

The go-go town demo does have the residents say "I would give you a quest, but this is just the demo", to be fair to them. Their previous games were very much more in line with your expectations, and I'd be surprised if this demo is representative of the intended experience.

It massively improves on the gameplay of Pokemon and also the soundtrack loving slaps. It also has one of my favorite game features. Dynamic Soundtrack. You can activate super mode where you combine together with your partner and when you do that loving lyrics kick in. https://streamable.com/ctmz4k

Feels like they’re trying to find a medium between battlefield and squad but it kind of clashes. I have to manually check how many rounds are left in my magazine but I can blow up almost any building with the six RPGs I’m carrying.

Hey this is an incredibly nitpicky thing that is very silly to be irritated by.... but has the latest Steam update removed the ability to make the client remember your username but not your password? Basically the entire time I've had Steam I've told it not to remember my credentials because don't like auto-logging in, but it always saved my username and I just had to put in my password. Since the latest update, it's not remembering either the username or the pass unless I tell it to auto-login, which I don't want to do, so I have to put my username in each time. It's like literally 0.3 seconds to do that so it's certainly not a gamebreaker or anything, it's just weird to me that it's been 15 years of one way and now it seems to be gone unless I'm missing a REALLY obvious fix? God, this is the most weirdly minor thing I think I've ever been bothered enough to post about.

Whoever recommended Battlebit: Remastered - Thank you. This game recaptures that chaos magic that was the older Battlefield games. It's like BF3 and Squad had a baby - which then fell through a Roblox filter. It looks chunky but the performance is slick, the massive playercounts are chaotic, the fact that anyone can revive (but only medics can heal) keeps the action going. Oh and the RPG slaps - already sniping people with it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYHC36DmaQ8 .... or deleting them up close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHT9_9qGv90 DarkDobe fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Jun 18, 2023 |

Having never played a battlefield game, what's the selling point of "No Jets" ?

ninjoatse.cx posted:Having never played a battlefield game, what's the selling point of "No Jets" ? Jets, and choppers, are generally played by people who do nothing to advance the objectives of the map or game mode, and just endlessly kill people for no other reason to up their K/D ratio. That, and the people that tend to play them are obsessives who do nothing but play jets and choppers, and become "sky gods" that bring gameplay to a halt as they fly around in nigh-unkillable vehicles snipping people from half the map away. You can look at it with a jaundiced eye and view their extreme skill as commendable, but when a single player in a jet or chopper can single-handedly shut down an opposing team of 60 players, then no one is having fun except the pilot. If you want to see it, watch Silks videos, or when he's streaming. He does nothing but play choppers and jets, and keep can keep the entire opposing team locking down with his skills. https://www.twitch.tv/silk Bloody Hedgehog fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Jun 18, 2023 |

ninjoatse.cx posted:Having never played a battlefield game, what's the selling point of "No Jets" ? Choppers have this problem to a lesser degree, because while you can theoretically take them out with ground AA (or a lucky dumbfire rocket, which is a quintessential Battlefield Moment™), a smart pilot will dick around until their countermeasures are gone and then go camp in the friendly spawn until they regenerate. But at least they can stick around and actually focus on an objective.

I don't play Battlefield games but can't you solve that problem by making jets a bit slower and louder, to let people react to them, and maybe also buffing anti-air options?

Jack Trades posted:I don't play Battlefield games but can't you solve that problem by making jets a bit slower and louder, to let people react to them, and maybe also buffing anti-air options? Jets are simply antithetical to the core Battlefield gameplay of "play the loving objective". Every other vehicle, choppers included, has to at least be physically present to help with an objective; jets meanwhile spend 90% of games nowhere near any of them.

The other problem is that the anti air weapons don't really have any amount of interaction or skill. You just have to happen to be the right class and then point your rocket launcher up at the jet in the sky long enough to lock on. So there's no chance to really "outplay" them, you just take the literal one option available to you and then they either notice the big homing-missile-incoming warning on their screen and press the chaff button to live or they don't (probably because it's on cooldown) and they die. Even if you buffed antiair to make jets less annoying you wouldn't really fix that gameplay dynamic to be not bad.

Don’t forget every time a Battlefield game stumbles it’s way into the MANPADS being good they are swiftly and brutally brought back into line before they can cause any kind of trouble for the sky lords.
