Tale

Heard about that recently. It's the main thing in my mind when I made my statement.

Hilarity.

You don't engage enemies at a long enough range in F3 or F:NV for the suppression of a supersonic round to be of particularly high value. The "realistic" supersonic crack of a suppressed .308 round is still pretty loud. That said, a quality suppressor firing subsonic ammunition will often only generate sound from the cycling of the action. Since the engine only classifies weapons as "loud", "normal", and "silent", it doesn't leave much room for gradation. I think I was being slightly obnoxious, but thanks for the response. Hollywood silencers are a minor pet peeve of mine. One I can ignore, especially since the general audience probably come to expect the silent silencer. The range point is a good one I never even thought about. I don't expect most games operate at the kind of ranges for that.

Area Throw's got to be great. I remember doing it on Veteran with just Heavy Throw. Never had to fire a shot at husks.

I would more assume the problem is the severe market competition and shallow nature of the general audience. Lower budget games don't seem to have proportional return. Unless you're at Popcap, that is.

They can avoid the 10 minute unskippable intro cinematic with token walking sequence. That'd make it more actiony.

I mean the things people keep calling silencers, but they aren't.

Silencers, you say? I wonder, in Hardcore will they be more appropriate suppressors or is are we stuck with the silencer?

I think that's the guy who created the gif I sourced for this avatar.

Who are these people? Well, Telltale for one. That sneaky Telltale Tool, eh? I always knew there was something up with that. Ever since that Telltale employee made me this avatar. I could just smell the command lines on it.

I think the devs should have demonstrated its ability to do more than just palm trees and water. Then it might have caught someone's attention. Man, I'm feeling obnoxious today. Ignore me.

Who are these people?

I ended up just looking up those side missions on the wiki. And then abandoned it halfway since there's no experience to get (level 30) and they're not that interesting as standalones.

Why does a meme have to be funny to be relevant? It's culture. Do Christmas trees have to make you laugh? What about presents being wrapped with ribbons? Is the only valid culture the culture you grew up with? While "the cake is a lie" is a phrase that struggles to find relevance, objects such as the companion cube can be simple icons.

You don't know what "these emails" are. If it was threatening violence, then that guy's not being singled out at all. The only singling out if so is by the media.

The kid says he doesn't know what he said (which he should, most systems I've seen save copies of outgoing mail). The White House isn't going to release it. It simply could be anything.

First the "Genre Movie" pastiches keep being successful, now the Resident Evil movies? I think I'll go cry in a corner.

The Hammerhead was still better than the Mako.

Horizon and the Collector Ship on Insanity redefined my concept of brutal. Horizon is ridiculous on normal unless you've played and beaten it before. Playing it on higher levels is simply crazy.

I gave Mass Effect 2 Hardcore a shot. That first batch of mechs on the first colony mission are brutal. The YMIR at the end wasn't nearly so bad.

Aliens WAD was a good total conversion.

The gameplay video seems to show the same Oblivion combat system. While it didn't bother me at the time, I can't imagine myself touching it again.

Google is providing no results for C&C that aren't command and conquer.

Mage really clicks for me just for tactical options. But Mana Clash, damn. If ever a power needed nerfing in a single player game, that's the one. My first three times through I could point out a few mage fights that were tough as heck for me. Mana clash and they're a joke.

I love DA combat. Having to quick react with a force field to counter a crushing prison or save someone from a curse of mortality. Having to go for a paralysis, knockdown, or stun to counter an Ogre grab. In general, any game system that has counter tactics is lots of fun for me.
