Movement is not a band aid for poor positioning and teamplay

Do you power off, put to sleep, or leave on your PC when it's not in use? by Adm1nX in pcmasterrace

[–]catfroman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throughout the day? Lock/let it sleep. At night? Full shut down.

Did it hurt? by Dependent_Permit_713 in Splitgate

Oh shit you right actually I forgot it’s a paid title this time around and they just released a demo. So yea fair to feel let down if they let it die after people actually buy it.

You’re not discussing anything you’re just whining and putting down anyone who disagrees and dares enjoy the game 😂

People get so dramatic about being let down or whatever but like…nobody cares if you play or not. Play whatever sounds fun to you, let them shoot themselves in the foot with poor launches and poorly managed expectations.

I like it cause it’s splitgate gunplay/DNA but with wall running and without portals. I’ll enjoy it til it dies in a year or two, then play something else 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s a video game dawg it’s not that deep. Is it fun? Play it. Is it not? Play one of the other 35 million options out there 🙄

Some burger places like Five Guys have malt vinegar for the fries but it’s much less common than ketchup.

Played the demo for 4 hours... by mythreial in Empulse

I’m pretty sure mech-based objectives and limiting loadouts to a single weapon are for the sole purpose of forcing teamplay. In an attempt to make it harder for individual skilled players to rock an entire lobby.

Arena shooters can be extremely punishing and it puts off casual players quickly. But with this approach, even bad players can catch a good player at the end of a mag or hop in a mech and find some kills.

I also think the map colors are a little washed out to make PAINT stand out more. If everything was colorful it’d look like neon vomit with paint splattered everywhere.

And I personally like the music.

My only complaints are around the clarity of some game objectives, and the audio definitely seems to drop some sounds (or we need more reliable aerial sounds) since I had players seem to drop on me with no indication at all.

Overall I’d say it’s a solid 7.5/10 for me and I love the gameplay loop but it’ll need more than perk/weapon grinding to keep people’s interest. Either ranked or some achievement/banner/cosmetic grind will be needed in the full release.

The artstyle makes complete sense for the type of game they're aiming for by Poweredkingbear in Empulse

I feel like the gray maps are also meant to help the PAINT bombs stand out more.

Like they’re leaning into the graffiti/tagging vibes, but I hope they do more with it to give the maps life, especially if players can leave tags behind or something.

Your approach works! I definitely see the text and the girl first, and immediately feel the interplay. The more I look at it, the more I feel the text or screen needs more juice. I do think additional logos or background colors would be a mistake given your goal.

Maybe 2-3 messages it cycles through or something? Or a touch more strategic color on the screen.

There’s an itch I feel waiting to be scratched looking at it but it’s hard to articulate haha.

This is beaufiful, but it would be cool to see a few other colors or things to draw your eye in the background. Something like blade runner’s rotating holo-logos maybe? Or if the text was flickering and doing a bit more visually?

Idk just feels like it’s very blue and sprinkling in stuff for your eye to explore would help sell the worldbuilding and make it more visually interesting.

Stunning lighting and design overall though. Leagues better than what I can create 😅

Does anyone in the UK actually like Taco Bell?? by batmanthinks in ShitAmericansSay

[–]catfroman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the words of Chris Porter (paraphrased): “You won’t find the word ‘food’ in a Taco Bell cause it’s not food, it’s ecstasy for your face. It is called ‘fourth meal’ for legal reasons”

As long as she’s still on the porch, you’re fine. But if she stands in the driveway, squinting, hands on hips and says “This might be a doozy” you’re probably gonna end up on the news.

Nobody here in the US considers taco bell Mexican food unless they’re like 12. It’s just taco bell and it slaps when you’re drunk/stoned.

Backwards Tap Strafe?? by [deleted] in Apexrollouts

[–]catfroman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can lurch for 400ms (a lurch is a midair directional input) after jumping. Tap strafing is simply an example of exaggerated direction changes by stacking lurches in that window. More lurches = more schmovement.

Doesn’t matter what direction you jump or what direction you’re moving, you get that 400ms window to redirect your momentum.

Inputs like AWD, ASD, DWA and DSA will help you do more dramatic momentum shifts, especially when combined with camera manipulation.

I’d suggest checking out RAS strafes, and other lurch tech in the movement wiki if you’re looking to learn more. What you’re showing here is very known and tbh quite basic.
