Replaying marathon 1. I forgot how terrible the "lol so random" writing style for durandal is. Very much "wow this sounded better when I was 14" Lawman 0 fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Aug 3, 2020 |

One game’s fiction that I loved to death when I was 12/13 years old was a robot fighting game on PC called “One Must Fall”. I recently took another look at it and I can’t figure out why I liked it so much.

I'm pretty sure 12/13 year olds are genetically programmed to love giant robots fighting each other so you didn't really have a choice. Also the killer soundtrack made the whole thing seem even cooler.

There was that one and another one called FX Fighter that I adored and poo poo like that is the reason I missed games like the original XCOM or mid 90s RPGs.

I think it worked on the final boss too. Cream-of-Plenty posted:How could you possibly forget PC Fighting Classic® "Xenophage"??? I think there was an .ini edit or an ingame cheat where every hit would cause just absolute gallons of blood to gush out whenever anyone got hit.

Also this game was peak teen edginess the game.

Just ran across this, Japanese guy making a very "80s cyberpunk anime" FPS. From what I played of the demo it feels okay, a bit on the simple/Wolf side, but the boss for the demo episode turns into a (fairly basic) bullet hell thing and you get a time slow unlock halfway through, so maybe the later episodes will be more evolved. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1378290/The_Citadel/

I read a thing the other day where someone was complaining that the technology in Halo isn't advanced enough to be five centuries in the future, and someone else pointed out that they only set it then because 2552 is 2+5 2+5 is 77. I have no idea why the argument came about but someone mentioning 7s did get it to quiet down, I guess. 7

On the third page of the manual explaining the HUD (pg. 15), a screenshot with an explanation of the scope shows 7 extra bullets in the sniper rifle.

I looked up the TOZT flamethrower to see if it lasted 7 seconds before reload and it's actually called the TOZT-7 and I was right.

It didn't take long for the 7 thing to become self-reinforcing, the devs would put in 7 jokes specifically in response to performative fan obsession and vice versa

I figure once humanity reaches a point where we occupy hundreds of worlds scattered across the galaxy (let alone discover FTL travel) the proliferation of technology slows way the gently caress down and you'll get the equivalent of like isolated Amazon tribes next door to the Metropolis where every house as an anti-gravity rift and the only thing in common is that their cars go really fast. Also being in a war where the casualty count numbers in the billions can't be helpful.
