I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Shotgun pump noise, I guess?

Here is the full comic, for the three-ish people in this thread who haven't seen it before

My thoughts. It isn't like they made the Atlantis, interrupting the action flow, in exchange of a better storytelling...

Yeah, this game rocks, despite some of my complaints, play it people. Great art conveying a cyberpunk city being controlled by a AI bio infestation, great flow, cool set pieces like jumping from flying car to flying car at the end of episode 1.
Difficulty wise, I decided to limit myself and not use the +health gain and +armor gain in leg upgrades, they are too good. Now I have to use the normal health kits sometimes, woah! And as addition this way I feel less obligated to use the chainsaw slide constantly. Speaking of, there are pair of new enemies (a flying one, and one that leave toxic waste on the ground upon being damaged) on Episode 2, so the game increases the enemy types that can't be chainsawed easily.

Although, in the segment where you pilot your car, the inverted controls weren't being applied. Really, no one complained of this during EA?

The super shotgun also pumps, it's literally just two of the regular shotgun but they added a break action.

Pump shotgun is great for lower tier enemies at a small distance where the super spread would waste a lot of damage. A couple imps on top of a cliff or something

Standard shotgun is great, but I feel like it loses its niche once you have the SSG and Chaingun.

Double shot alt fire in HL is actually the SPAS firing 2 rounds super quick in its semi auto (normal action) as in burst mode. The weird thing is that the SPAS was intended to be semi auto and only pump for certain type of ammo but in HL is pump and... burst? at will. Videogames.

That's a fine explanation but in game it's definitely dumping the two shells at once, sound be damned. It'd be more believable if it wasn't for all the other glaring gun issues valve packed into the games

Valve constantly not giving a kentucky fried gently caress about portraying firearms accurately is one of the best aspects of the HL series.

if i ever make an FPS I almost want to make tons of inaccuracies to upset gun nerds

My M1 Garand will be clip fed, but the ammo pickups will be called mags, and it will spit out shells when firing. it will make the ping when you run out of ammo, but you'll be able to reload it at any time. (The reload animation will feature one bullet at a time, despite the ammo being called mags)

I have been a die-hard Ghostbusters fan since I was 4, and me getting the "Egon gun" didn't even register that it was supposed to be a positron collider... It barely looked like it, it didn't at all sound like it. Just didn't feel like it. It was nothing more than a blue and orange laser beam. It wasn't even until I tried out multiplayer that I realized it came with a backpack :shrug:

The Egon gun might've been powerful but it sucked at what it was trying to do.

Holy poo poo. I'd play the hell out of a single-player arena shooter campaign where in between battles, you could cut insane wrestling promos via dialogue trees.

Edit: also, I started playing Quake III Arena, and I'm genuinely surprised at how much I enjoy the campaign. The bots are convincing and everything just feels good as hell.

Just a friendly reminder that somehow Valve managed to squeeze all of Half-Life 2 onto an XBox disc, and it was impressively faithful. In fact that was my first exposure to the game so as soon as my family got a computer capable of running it when Steam was introduced I skipped straight to Episode 1. Which I attempted to play with a controller. Which was kinda difficult to get working. I was so used to consoles that I rarely used M&KB if there was a controller option. I was forced out of that habit with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, and I default to M&KB with any FPS now.

By that same token, Quake on Saturn: How'd they do that?

They completely rebuilt the game on a different engine (the one used for Powerslave/Exhumed), under the belief that using a Saturn-centric engine would be quicker and cheaper than cramming Id Tech into the Saturn. Which may have been true, per-se, but it certainly wasn't as quick or cheap as hoped and Lobotomy didn't last too much longer afterwards.
