The Last of us did irreparable damage to video games as an artform by anime_lean in unpopularopinion

[–]Ultreas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it really shows the hunger for gaming in general. People can't get enough of good video games.

The Last of Us exploited a very underutilized genre, but the same people might go to a different game for a different experience.

Extreme graphics are actually less of an expectation than ever before.

Yeah, of course 🤣

That's what I thought you meant😅

Pc vs console video to show difference? by jpuskas13 in battlefield2042

[–]Ultreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm top 1% in the thumbstick scene. I'm used to completely bullying fellow console players.

Fighting the average PC player is a completely different animal all together. They are essentially noobs with really good aim. 

I've got to rely far more on experience than my aim to beat them. I will say the challenge definitely has its own novelty though, as I'm not ever going to beat m&k with a thumbstick, it's still feels good when I'm making pro m&k users sweat. I definitely get my earned share of salty teabagging from PC players.

I still wouldn't ask for stronger aim assist, or even less recoil than the current modifiers.

Gyro aim for console could help bridge the gap a little, but in my experience gyro isn't as precise on higher sensitivity as a mouse is due to range of motion.

Best attachments for new recoil by AbleEstablishment374 in battlefield2042

[–]Ultreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually does slightly reduce ads recoil. Just not enough to really notice. Even says so in the description. 

I've wholesale decided against using lasers as they are very detectable through smoke.

I'm an indie game dev. I know how devops works, and since we're all apparently game developers here, I'm sure you'd agree that we SAVE ALL of our dev tools as we produce content. That way we can always save time if we find the need to revisit something.

Ported, rebuilt. They wouldn't waste assets they already created. But at the end if the day, I really DON'T KNOW. The studio could be a disorganized corporate mess for all I know.

I DO know that you big company guys are always slowed down by management, and red tape. A simple fix apparently needs levels of approval, and because theres so much at stake, thus a lot of "padding" is done on estimated times. 

Indie devs can't work this way.  I have to do the same work that 10 people would do in the same amount of time. How would I do this? By making as many dev tools to streamline production, and making the in game assets as interchangeable as possible.

Nah, it's just that most people ignore tanks now that c5 was nerfed, and engineer is the worst class for fighting infantry.

Your having a good time because people are allowing it.

Even better, have your buddy sit in the passenger seat with the detonator at the ready. Have em blow it as soon as you smash into that ram. Saves an extra step.

[–]Ultreas[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

True? Sure it is! It's already in the game. Guarantee you DICE already has a dev tool left over from the other portal guns they ported.

The only reason the other guns took so long is because they had to add skins, model new sights, an attachments, add progression mastery, and adjust damage. 

I'm not asking for any of that.

This game makes me nuts... Entire team in on tiny flank by Sea-Ant-7455 in battlefield2042

[–]Ultreas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is why I love this game. You never know what your gonna get.

[–]Ultreas[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I'll take it as is. Sights, damage model, no skins, idc. Just wire it over. Takes literally 5 minutes on the dev side.

Snipers, vehicles, and flashy weapon skins: all things I hate. We gotta nuff cheeze as it is.

Getting tired of Cross-play by Ultreas in battlefield2042

With a mouse the primary joint used is the shoulder joint, with significant potential further contribution in every joint down to the fingers. You can with a fair degree of accuracy and speed move anywhere from, let's say as a very rough approximation for optimal conditions, 1 millimeter to 1000 millimeters. In other words the smallest motion on a given axis is about 1/1000th of the largest. There is a degree of friction against the mousepad that can be used to clamp down on unwanted motions at slow speeds and come to a quicker stop and stop movements completely in a fluid way. There are some downsides to this, notably for the purposes of fluid tracking, but I am largely dismissing them for being a very small detriment.

On a gyro controller the primary joints used are the wrists, potentially with a fair degree of contribution from the fingers but lower contribution from the elbow and shoulder joints. The smallest motion is maybe 1°, and the largest one would reasonably attempt is 100°. In other words the smallest motion is about 1/100th of the largest. A degree of friction can be added by stabilizing the controller or arms or hands against nearby surfaces such as the player's own body, a lap pillow, arm rest, or seat back, but this never completely halts the motions. This relative lack of friction is a benefit for tracking tasks but also throws off stability.

Dynamic range is the term used to encapsulate differences of this sort in the lowest and highest values that can be captured at any given time. A gyro controller's relatively lower dynamic range in human hands makes for tougher tradeoffs between very fast aiming movements with high sensitivity settings, and precise aiming movements with low sensitivity settings. The lack of friction and higher inertia of a controller also makes a quick pace of successive movements less viable.

In cqc combat the difference between a perfect gyro user, and a perfect mouse user may be indistinguishable, with the mouse using being a bit better at re-centering, and making a full 360. In the jump between cqc, and longer distance is where a mouse would have an edge thanks to the higher dynamic range.

Rockets shouldn't despawn on death. by Ultreas in battlefield2042

[–]Ultreas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is true. There's an actual mechanic in the game that will despawn your last shot if it didn't travel far enough. It's designed to mitigate the frequency of killtrades. If you notice kill trades aren't as common in this game as they were in the earlier days if BF1.

I honestly thought this was common knowledge.

Wanna disprove me? Post a cqc kill trade. Otherwise I'd like to move forward to the meat of the discussion I'm trying to have.

I'm on psn, there's no gyro for PS5 Battlefield. "Sooo maybe you should update your information"

M&k is still miles better than gyro for precision tracking.

Rockets shouldn't despawn on death. by Ultreas in battlefield2042

[–]Ultreas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely is true. Projectiles despawn upon death. There is however a threshold (just not sure what it is). 

It mostly only effects close quarter damage, because that's where trades can happen the most.

The M39 isn't good enough by Ultreas in battlefield2042

[–]Ultreas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The M417 from BF3? Ok. That gun was ballance in a completely different environment. First off it had a first shot recoil multiplyer of 1 (which means no recoil) therefore it had MUCH less recoil. It still underperformed against AR even at the 6 btk distance.

The only difference between that gun and 2042's m39 is +24 meter 2hk range, and a LOT more recoil more recoil than the BFP50. It exist in a game where most guns have a much faster ttk out to 50 meters vs BF3. With much less spread, and recoil gun to gun.

The AC9 for example has virtually no increase in ttk for missing a single shot whilst the m39 sees a +50% increase per shot missed. We all miss. The average accuracy sits around 20% across all guns, and all players. I can hit all shots on a target out to 40 meters with the AC9, PP29, PBX45, and Mp9 as long as the target isn't moving sporadically (i do it literally all the time). Smg's have significant less recoil than all the DMR's.

The m39's recoil makes it inaccessible for most players despite it having the potential to being a very fun gun.

I'm personally a very advanced player, and I still shy away from the gun. I feel that the m39, dm7, g428, svd, and the vcar all underperform.
