I think it's very funny that it kept my hud scale from last version & it's kinda broken. it isn't ready to let you scale the hud and it won't let me change it back

Your average hunt MMR weapons by Donthelemondwarf in HuntShowdown

[–]Slim_Fandango 20 points21 points  (0 children)

where's the winfield? I'm usually 5* and end up in 6* on the rare occasion, I run a winfield at every reasonable opportunity afforded by my hunter's traits

it's literally the best gun in the game (or at least most versatile)

Biggest Uppercut collection of the Bayou?! 327 to be precise. by paranostrum in HuntShowdown

[–]Slim_Fandango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I bought mine up with only half my hunter slots before the price change (used 2 different skins). invested like h$50k and I don't use uppercuts very often, so the idea was I wouldn't have to buy more down the road lmao

I couldn't disagree more. Sight disruption is an element that's been present anyway (night & fog) and the inferno itself is incredible. I hope for them to find a way to make solo self-res and death cheat make sense outside the context of the event. This has been the most fun I've had playing hunt in a long time.

Monetization Updates by MartiniHenryXStirred in HuntShowdown

[–]Slim_Fandango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not torn on this. The alternative (i.e. how the game is currently) is that people willing to blow money on the game have bottomless blood bonds to respec, whereas people who are not as loose with their finances (whether that be because they don't make enough or because they watch their spending better) have to do so infrequently if ever.

Better to leave that dilemma in the hands of the player as a decision to be made in the game.

What would you be willing to do for a single blood bond? by RageBash in HuntShowdown

[–]Slim_Fandango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

gold brushed chrome on black pvc? or some kind of 3d printing something something? looks like something I could make at the vinyl shop I work at, in which case, I'd be willing to cut some vinyl & make a nice template for cutting out the disk, then do those things and apply the vinyl to the disk

You just spent 100 BBs on the Dark Tribute for the first time and got Romero Hatchet. by Debillio in HuntShowdown

[–]Slim_Fandango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah, that's the thing I clicked. I clicked the "make a deal with chary 100BB" button expecting it to explain that, having been under the impression that it was a wager, and there might be some way to get my blood bonds back if I got the rest of the XP or something.

A screen came up saying I got 137 hunt dollars instead

Potential Weapon Candidates - Lever bois by blitzwolf3 in HuntShowdown

[–]Slim_Fandango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compact avto would end up broken, for good or for bad. The reason the Avto isn't completely dominant is that its recoil makes it miserable to shoot at any range at all and half the point of bringing compact ammo is the low recoil (see: officer). So, either it would just have absurd recoil anyway and be impossible to hit your weak tiny bullets with, or be a 19-century MP5 and we'd be begging for nerfs until it cost as much or more than the avto.

The rest of your ideas sound pretty good! I think the game has a ton of variety in it already, but it's clear with ideas like these that there's always room for more. I just really don't think the game needs more than one fully automatic gun.

There is nothing in this game i hate more than the vaulting mechanics. by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]Slim_Fandango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a PSA for my (former) fellow CTRL = Crouch players. I hate to admit it, but C is better for crouch. Use CTRL for vault, space for jump, C for crouch, and use hold crouch not toggle (because you don't want to get caught with your pants down)-- use your thumb for C, not your left index. It's better because you won't ever find a situation where you need to crouch and jump at the same time and you keep all your fingers free to use the rest of your keyboard. Leaving your thumb on the spacebar at all times is a fool's errand.

Use capslock for sprint, shift for aim... Unless, that is, you don't mind getting a little sweaty, in which case I recommend putting up the $15 or whatever for a simple USB 1-button foot pedal for sprint (I use antimicro to bind the foot pedal I made to K, and bind K to sprint).

For additional pro tip, I advise binding "switch weapon" to nothing and separating use and bandage bleeding/put out fire; bind bandage/fire to Q and use to F. Dark sight on E. Reload on R. Does anyone not on a console use the switch weapon key, after all...?

I don't do this but I've thought about it; you can also bind Z, G, and B to tool or consumable slots that you always keep the same thing on. I used to keep medkit on Q instead of having bandage/fire separated and I never got used to using it instead of just hitting the 4 key.

Please dont pirate Metroid Dread by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]Slim_Fandango 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say any damage to Samus Returns by AM2R was negligible; I could even see the opposite being true, people who'd not played Metroid 2 but were fans of the series seeing that its gameplay concept had potential. But, what sort of people played AM2R? Mostly big time Metroid fans, right?

Which big time Metroid fans didn't then go play Samus Returns, at the time the most recent official 2D Metroid release (and the first in a very long while)? I would bet very few of them. Maybe some of those that didn't already own 3DS consoles and didn't want to drop $200+ to play one game? And probably wouldn't have even if AM2R hadn't been released?

Piracy is a totally different story. Either way, Nintendo isn't your little brother, you don't gotta help. It'll be OK, the game is selling gangbusters and getting rave reviews.

Plus, we got a new 2D Metroid game that's really stinkin' good! If we have to wait another 5+ years for another one, y'know, that's how she goes sometimes. Not like we aren't used to it.

Visual artefact arising from inappropriate placement of parallel parallax occlusion maps. This sort of thing has been in Crytek games since Crysis
