Oner Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Never played JA2? For shame I played it, and hate it. Kill me with fire, plebs. I always wanted to play Giants: Citizen Kabuto, but never got around to. It's supposed to be really awesome. The only game where one can play as a blue, topless chick with a sword & bow (future BioWare games not included). There's also a giant wrestler dude and British humor, right? And YAN, THE SAMURAI SMARTIE! Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget!

Purkake Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Never played JA2? For shame I played it, and hate it. Kill me with fire, plebs. I'm sure a pimped out FN P90 would do the job just fine Why do you hate it, though? It's certainly not for everyone, but hate is a strong word.

I'm sure a pimped out FN P90 would do the job just fine Why do you hate it, though? It's certainly not for everyone, but hate is a strong word. For some reason the game seamed to "remember" enemy hits even after a save game. On one occasion, there was a field and 4-6 trees between us, so a good 10-20 rounds have gone by without anyone scoring a hit. I save the game, two rounds later one enemy hits the medic (I think she died too). So, load game, 2 rounds, and the medic gets hit again. Load game, again. And again and again and again. Apart from the above, it's not my kind of game.

Purkake Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Maybe they are using a lame randomizer? I can totally see your point, though. I don't really like racing/sports games with a few exceptions(Carmageddon, Flatout) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like racing/sports games with a few exceptions(Carmageddon, Flatout) IIRC Jagged Alliance saves the random number generator's seed when you save your game. I believe this is working as designed to prevent people from trying to shoot someone, seeing the results, and saving/loading until you get a result that you want. At first glance, it seems like Oner doesn't like the game because it doesn't let him game/cheat the system Well, he does say "apart from that" so probably not.

Purkake Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It's easy enough to beat the system by doing something else before shooting. If people want to cheat, they will. Not that I ever have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 That only works if you didn't do a save right before you're about to go end turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Why would you save at the end of a turn? I usually cheat the system when I go hand to hand or knife, because I think it's a bit messed up to sneak behind a guy, knife him three times, and not actually kill him. So I'll save beforehand, and if I can't get a kill, I'll just use my guns. I beat Baldur's Gate. Took me way too long to finish the final battle, it wasn't really fun after awhile. I was at level 6 and I was just getting my butt handed too me way too often. Probably needed another level or two, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cronicler Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) It's easy enough to beat the system by doing something else before shooting. What? You mean you drag a peon (Peon: very lov level mercs that cost no money or up to 150 a day that you use as mules for your logistic train, random militia trainers, territary repairers and such) just to leave him/her at the edge of the map with the sole purpose of "save, shoot, reload if miss, make the peon spend some ap to change the randomised outcome and shoot again"??? You cheater! EDIT: Before 1.13, enemies used to work like I described before. With 1.13 the enemies do use (and are affected) by the stuff in their inventory like NVGs, Sun glasses, Armor, camo kits and so on. Also with 1.13 nearly half of the regulars and most of the elites spawn with realistic gear (Armor, decent mix of weapons per 20man unit including mgs and support weapons). In 1.13, every enemy has a small chance for each item he carries to drop if you don't check the "drop all" which results in 5 or 6 drops per 20 enemies. I don't like this much becouse I am generally very unlucky and get secondary (armor, nvg etc) or territary (F/A kits, random loot stuff) drops most of the time. Then again if you check the "drop all" and manage a good and agressive play for the first few days, you get countered with Elite mercs equipped with better weapons (than your stage of the game.) this can lead onto some really good gear and easy battles. However, as you progress, you will notice that holding onto your acquisations will become much much harder than acquiring them. Defence battles suck, especially when your assault team is away attacking another city. Edited September 8, 2009 by cronicler IG. We kick ass and not even take names.

And when you hit the enemy the same way it all good right? and 1.13 you can decide how and what the enemies carry and drop. It's all in the XML. Drop all is a requirement only for HAM and other ammo wasting features nowadays so very popular on Bearpit. Edited September 8, 2009 by Majek 1.13 killed off Ja2.

Slowtrain Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 And trees aren't that good of a cover. They never were. Unless you can right up behind them prescisely opposite the shooter. Then they are almost perfect cover. Until the shooter moves. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Any more BS to add? Playing Eversion by the way. The maker is a sick person indeed.
