WeedlordGoku69 posted:To put it bluntly, it would have been possible if I'd composed both versions from the outset, but I didn't do that, and converting non-MIDI tracks to MIDI is... an inexact science that generally leads to really janky-sounding results unless you painstakingly do it by hand. I might do a pack that's specifically MIDI music in the future (or one that's available both ways a la the SIGIL soundtrack) if I can wrap my head around Sekaiju, but for now, these three have gotta remain in recorded-music form. Ah yeah, I figured it might be too late/difficult to do now. Still a very cool project and hopefully it gets used.

Downloaded the old school Counter-Strike because I never really got a chance to play it in its heyday. God drat do I suck at this game. The best I can do is lay down suppressing fire while we advance. When it's time to round a corner and get into a proper shootout, I'm instantly doomed. How did people git gud at this back in the day?

The one thing I remember about classic CS, which I was never "good" at but got to a point where I was decent at it, is that the most common early newbie mistake is to just spray and pray. You will hit absolutely nothing because the recoil patterns spread out a lot very fast. You really want to just treat everything as a single shot weapon and tap out short bursts. It's amazing how much more effective you'll get once you get the firing rhythm down.

A big part was that everyone else was just as bad instead of it being mostly 35 year olds who have been playing since the mod released.

Was CS the game where the bullet spread patterns are predetermined and people obsessed over it enough to memorize them and learn to compensate for it perfectly?

Steam’s spring cleaning guilt shamed me into replaying EYE. Someone posted tips in here a while ago on how to not have a bad time. Last time I played I recalled wandering the hub area library place for like an hour crawling at the speed of a turtle. Then I got into the first real mission and was instantly hacked by something before dying to some goon by a trash fire. It was a wild 2 hours but I’ve been hiding from it ever since.

Memorize the recoil patterns and practice against a wall. Don't duck during a firefight just strafe like a lunatic. When you strafe there's a split second when changing directions that your aim isn't horrible if you can figure it out. Turn off the dynamic crosshair once you get used to the spread. Watch YouTube videos for good smoke and flash spots. Play on gun game servers a lot. I'm still terrible at this video game like 2 decades later so this could all be horrible advice. E: I forgot: corner peek a lot, always have your crosshair at head level rounding corners, use the radar it is your friend caleb fucked around with this message at 03:25 on May 25, 2020 |

Change to light armor if you want to go fast. eventually upgrade your cyber legs too, but armor weight makes the most difference to movement speed early on. Also maintenance (V by default) fixes hacking Don’t forget to research the medkit first

EYE deserves props for letting you walk into the first mission in heavy armour, a minigun, and enough ammo to flatten a city. I don't know of any other games that let you do that, starting with the biggest & baddest stuff with no qualifiers. The rest of the game... eeh. Alas.

Oh yeah, you can go insane in EYE. And the medkit in EYE can KILL things. Also there is a dedicated key that spawns CLONES of yourself in game. And people who have done the single player campaign endings in EYE will have unique Psi powers that a starting EYE player won't have access to.

uhhhh well Blue Shift was a fun two hours but what a wet fart of an end. "Uh oh Calhoun you might be trapped in a super cool infinite portal loop that could make for a sweet final set piece where you're randomly teleporting through multiple giant firefights between Earth and Xen simultaneou-- oh wait you're fine."

Tangentially related, I've been co-oping Shadow Warrior 2 and while I liked the traditional style of the remake well enough the sequel does kinda lend itself well to the looter-shooter genre. I miss having the actually designed levels in favor of more disjointed ones though. Messing around with weapons - and there are a surprising number of them - and watching numbers go up is still fun.

It's such a surreal setting that once it clicks you can't help but eventually get lost in it and just take in the atmosphere while shooting doods and gaining brouzoufs. Many, many brouzoufs.

Under the janky and intentionally obscure exterior EYE is a game with incredible integrity to its design where you can beat it on a new file without grinding with infinite instantly respawning ultra aggressive enemies that kill you in a single headshot. I might have written that advice post but I don't have plat anymore so you'd have the misfortune of digging through my post history yourself to find it. The brief summary is pick all metastreum at char gen and just reroll for a while til you have bunch of high scores, particularly in aim. Research medkit and buy cloak ASAP and focus your skillpoints on fulfilling the prereqs on the 444 Bear Killer. e; oh google for the mod that removes the fish eye effect from scopes i always forget the game has weird fisheye on scopes by default DisDisDis fucked around with this message at 20:37 on May 25, 2020 |

I have a pointless nitpick for Black Mesa. When you put on the HEV suit for the first time it says "Hazardous Environment Vehicle" That's not  That's not what HEV loving stands for! It's Hazardous Environment suit. Why the gently caress would the V stand for vehicle?? All it took, for the decade + of development of the game, was for someone to look at the god drat wiki to make sure they knew what HEV stood for. I'm absolutely livid about this. I'm blowing my top. I now know why Manderly was so mad at JC for not assassinating Lebedev in Deus Ex.

The first boss in the game has far more HP than he's supposed to in the PC version so you're going to sit there and shoot him for literally 20-30 minutes before he finally dies.

Neo Rasa posted:Speaking of this era, was Soldier of Fortune: Payback any good? I remember enjoying the first two a to. It's a weird title. It is not good. But it is entertaining. It wasn't full retail; it was put out by "activision budget" and was about $40 new. The bosses are just characters with a ton of extra health that you have to shoot until they die. The best strategy is to just use the knife melee over and over, they can't shoot while stunned and doing the animation, although there are a couple bosses it doesn't work on. Main character has a different name, Thomas Mason, instead of John Mullins. If you start a level with a tricked out weapon, you'll probably use up its ammo and have to drop it for one you find on the ground. I've beaten it like, 4 times or something, and played some of the individual missions countless times. To me, it approaches the so-bad-it's-good level, like a bad action flick.

I'm continuing with my Halo 2 play-through. Halo would be pretty good FPS. They have good AI, dynamic firefights, a decent amount of different enemies, cool alien weapons, a varied campaign that goes from lone wolf, to fighting with allies, from linear levels to bigger levels with vehicles... they only need to increase the move speed by 20% at least, increase the weapon limit to at least 4, and change the shield system to something that makes the game less boring.
