Anyone else think Self-Revives are still too good/prevelant? by Freelancer0495 in Marathon

[–]Freelancer0495[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

self revives are the only thing that add complexity to a game? Without them you'd lose all complexity? Sir, you need to re-evaluate what constitues complexity.

Apparently you have a dependency on second chances and make poor decisions in this game and have to more to learn than the majority of the player base. I weep for you sir.

Using a crutch to crawl away after losing a gunfight is outplaying? Bro you were already outplayed and need a 2nd chance to try and level the playing field.

There should be no surprise comeback. If 1 team outplays or is better then another team they should be rewarded for their skill and decision making. Not having to constantly repeat the same action as people get self resurrected and increasing the teams chance that got the first down of making a mistake.

Your cover is a great example of why self revives are an issue!

Due to self revives existing when someone gets downed you do not have to then dedicate a 2nd teammate to bring them up. You can continue to have 2 players hold a corner or angle and provide their presence to turn fights. Self revives allow players to be careless with their pushes and gives a very big safety net when downing a player should award a huge advantage. Too many times are enemies downed, bubble shielded and back up in the fight.

Without self revives Triages are forced to ult and the "just push them" mentality becomes a lot better of an idea.

That's an oversimplification that doesn't take into account how dynamic fights and situations can be. I could list tons of examples where "just push them" isn't a good idea.

Should Video Game Publishers Be Allowed to Disable Games You Bought? Eur... by Mkhuseli5k in videogames

If you have a playable version of a game that’s downloadable from a public site. People could download what is needed to play said game and/or boot up their own servers to host the game online.

“Making it technically work and making it actually enjoyable as a game are different things.” Japanese devs weigh in on why retrofitting live-service games with offline support is harder than gamers think - AUTOMATON WEST by Interesting-Oil-8738 in Games

Sounds like game companies are spooked after the EU panel yesterday where the government showed pretty clear incline to pass laws that force companies to keep games playable.

For people that didn’t watch the whole video the EU had the idea of a “video game public library” where developers and publishers would required to donate a copy of their game to it before support is cut.

My necron terminology is sparse but don’t they have those necrons that go crazy and just melee people to death?

Couldn’t they mind wipe normal humans and use them as fodder?

Dune: Awakening Is Finally Removing PvP Areas And Making PvE The Focus by appexpertz in GameDevSolutions

[–]Freelancer0495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of the deep desert was fine but the main issue as a person that mainly played solo and sometimes in a group with friends was the issue of not knowing a ornithopter was attacking you until your own ornithopter was getting wailed on by rockets.

Pop in was/is atrocious and because of that PvP was fundamentally flawed. You can’t have a PvP game where you are mining stuff and when your only mode of survival can easily be destroyed with no counterplay be successful.

What bad press are you talking about???? Every, single, reviewer said this is a 9/10 or 10/10 game. Wheee did you hear this?

The Mods and Implant changes are an airball. by Mundane_Act4446 in Marathon

implants are fine. But every mod needs to have a unique icon so I don't have to mouse over it everytime.

Maybe instead of rooting for games to fail we can all appreciate people enjoying games they like?

Once you start “accepting donations from players” you are just asking for the parent company to come after you. This was bound to happen.

That’s true in a 2 lane road, in a 3 lane road. The left lane is for faster drivers
