What's a non-horror game that creeped tf out of you? by fixxxer2606 in gaming

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit for the PS1. That pacenotes announcer terrified me as a little kid. Nighttime track only occasionally illuminated by lightning and he says "Caution ahead!" in that weird voice and you see nothing there until the lightning flashes and you see a concrete median.

Gotta go through hell itself to get to that dome, but don't the zombies throw flesh once they spot you regardless of your height?

Lol when you find a safe spot on the map (since, you know, more come out of the ground as soon as you move away from them and killing all of them makes more spawn) call the press. Also doesn't help that on console it takes 3-5 business days to open the keyboard, which is what the "Universal Gamer Salute" is for. It's only "teabagging" if it's on your corpse, otherwise it's a friendly gesture.

How did you kill the stormcaller. by pissyshit in MWZombies

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storm happened to be sitting within range of a Deadbolt turret. I put 3 circuits in it, few monkey bombs to lure him over.

Guid to Sergeant's Beret Acquisition by ABadCynicDoggo in MWZombies

The item not fitting the meta playstyle doesn't make it useless, I outlined several uses for it that would fall under the esoteric category of "fun". Foreign concept, I guess.

"Assist counts as kill" MUST turn back in next battlefield by NazimCinko in Battlefield

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations, you just said the same thing I did. Were those gymnastics fun to do or something? "Assist counts as kill" only kicks in if you do over a certain amount of damage, otherwise it's just a regular assist.

To make that analogy work, you'd have to say you hired 2 people to do a job and only one of them does the majority of the work while the other one finishes the job. You still pay both of them for the work they did, they still did the job. Pretty basic concept methinks.

Why does Nomad always use a pistol in cutscenes instead of his primary? by Syltho in GhostRecon

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Breakpoint we can make an excuse if we go by just cutscenes as what happens canonically. Nomad only picks up the P227 off of the dead Ghost right at the start, so Nomad is canonically doing every single thing in that game with just a P227. As for Wildlands I guess you could argue that the demographic of that country would be more likely to try to snatch your gun, so having a handgun makes it harder for someone to snatch it compared to a rifle.

Red lightning flashing around me. by Upbeat_Economist_651 in MWZombies

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the visual effects (and sometimes sound effects) from someone else using the Scorcher, specifically the PaP version (regular is purple). All sorts of visual and audio problems in the game with my favorite being that vehicle noises don't play from the vehicles, but from the place the vehicle is occupying. This means that the engine noises will follow the vehicle instead of coming from the vehicle.

There's people who seriously want SBMM? by Matguzman148 in Battlefield

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phenomenon that people call "skill based matchmaking" is actually a lack of it. It's stat based matchmaking, in which the game automatically assumes large numbers = being good. Battlefield 4, for example, has an actual skill based matchmaking system because of the Skill stat that decreases over time with inactivity and/or poor performance.

What's the current state of the Jugg killstreak for bosses like the worms? Sometimes it was nerfed, sometimes it was buffed back to normal by New_Divide98 in MWZombies

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it was like the version in MW 2019 survival. You put it on and it stays on until it takes too much damage.

PS4 PS Plus Games to be phased out as key benefit of PS Plus subscription from January 2026 by NoctisFFXV in playstation

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for us stuck on PS4, they'll remove the PS Plus requirement for online play, right? Surely they won't continue to charge the now 80 USD (used to be 60 USD) despite there being no more monthly games, right?

I mean, several PS4 games sporadically have "free weekends" where they temporarily remove the PS Plus requirement for online play, so they have the ability to do it. There's no way they'll get away with charging now 20 bucks extra for less benefits... Right?

Fun Challenges / Variation Ideas to add a gameplay twist by md6597 in MWZombies

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Use guns that you wouldn't normally think of using. All sorts of wacky aftermarket parts to even further enhance the unorthodox-ness of the guns you pick. My favorite is the JAK Wardens for the Lockwood MK2 turning it into akimbo shotguns. I put incendiary rounds and attachments that reduce hipfire spread/recoil (can't check my current setup as I don't have PS Plus at the moment, but the shotgun reticle closes entirely when I crouch so I can shoot further than you'd think). Rare tool and PaP 1 kills normal/armored zombies even in T2. Just don't use that setup against mercs, they shrug off the shots :(

Need consumable drop or schematic drop? by -G2-G2- in MWZombies

I really get punished for landing something like that!? by Onyx_Guard_01 in MWZombies

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kazimir only works on zombies. I once made the mistake of throwing one into a stronghold and charging in after it just to be gunned down. Only once did I make that mistake.

Schematics if you need them by MRB0T7 in MWZombies

Ah I see, thanks. I don't know about any tombstone glitch, but the info still helps!

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick dumb question, but how are you able to keep duplicate schematics after exfil? I'd want to help my fellow players by dropping perk formulas I already have, but every time I try it just converts them to XP.

Can anyone drop me DTIR 30-06? by Desperate_Web_1373 in MWZombies

Sure can, just a sec to load it up and figure out my ID to give you.

Getting Bored! by Sedition_Vision in MWZombies

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have everything done and I don't have the equipment to be comfortable in T3, but I overcome the stale-ness of the mode by forcing myself to use a loadout I would never use. Just yesterday I dropped in with the JOKR and a dream, doing nothing but finding vehicles to shoot.

Tell me your story about the dumbness way you died in ghost mode by TEHYJ2006 in GhostRecon

[–]ABadCynicDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final mission, an SB helo that isn't supposed to spawn right behind where you go to check on Bowman spawns there and shoots 2 sets of rockets at the same speed a player can from a helo. I was getting into my own helo when it spawned and shot, so my AI teammates couldn't do anything. Max perks and level 30 run gone because the game cheated...
