>>8I can't play it for shit, very frustrating. Tried to play Japan with 1936 start, looked like an interesting faction.
Tried to conquer China but when I start a war all their factions automatically get united. I think I'd manage to win a war against China but that event brings in the PRC and some other smaller countries like Shanxi too which results in armies I just couldn't overcome no matter what I did.
It doesn't make much sense looking at the 1939 start where Japan has a big chunk of China and way more units than what I could get with Japan's limited resources and manpower.
So I think fuck that, it can't be done so I'll wait and see what happens with the world, try to get more forces and wait for an opportunity to expand. Stayed out of the Axis- with too powerful factions like UK, US and USSR all over the damn place that would just get me deleted from map.
Russia declares war anyway. They were fighting Germany in Europe so I thought I'd go with it, they had more forces in Asia than me but at least most of them had to stay in the west.
I think my divisions were fewer but stronger so I slowly pushed them almost to the Caspian Sea.
By the time I got there the war in the west ended and I had to deal with like 400 fully upgraded units while I only had about 120 and too little industrial capacity and manpower to build any more. I struggled to keep them reinforced and could only defend but was slowly losing.
Now up to the point where the units from western front were brought to the east I think I did pretty good.
I don't understand a lot of the game but I kept the commies from taking any of my provinces and I took almost half of their turf. I knew I couldn't win the entire war but the game wouldn't even let me try diplomacy, it's useless.
Until one side takes over 50% of another's strategic areas the peace options are greyed out.
Fucking bullshit, winning a war attacking USSR from the east seems impossible to me now since ALL THEIR GODDAMN POINTS ARE IN EUROPE.
I took like 1/5 of the planet, killed 2 million reds but the war balance is only at 4% in favour of my faction.
As a last resort I put all my resources into nuclear program. Built a ton of reactors, researched long range missiles.
I remember it could be done in HOI2, a nuked province would lose most of its buildings and strategic value so I thought I could improve my score that way.
Moscow alone is worth 50 points and my missiles could reach it so I thought I'd be fine if I held until my bombs were ready. They were building slowly because for some reason the game only took 2 of my reactors into account.
I survived but it turns out missiles can't carry nukes anymore, only bombers and only with air superiority over the target.
GOD DAMN IT

After watching LGR's recent review, I got the urge to dive back into Quake. I love the atmosphere of this game, but I'm not as crazy for the convoluted level design.

I like multiplayer games, but I'm too asocial to get into them.

>>87That isn't true. I went into Warsow and never played AFPS games before and it took me a couple weeks before I was able to start beating people. The same can happen in CPMA. Truth of the matter is is that it's not that hard to get a good base level of skill to be able to take down the average player fast in AFPS games even without AFPS game experience. All you need is one teacher and you will progress quickly with a dueling partner.

The old crew that's left also have acknowledged that the ceiling is open for everyone, including the oldest; the good only get better and it's no laughing matter to catch up without some previous experience from another arena/arcade shooter of some sort. People are kind of praying for Diabotical to not turn out like Reflex so that the ceiling lowers again somewhat and more people can actually get into the game by being able to brawl others without having to go up against the top/those who go full fagmode in duel just to pad their ego right away.

Also you can nolife any AFPS game with one dueling partner. It's what I did to go from not knowing what I was doing in the game to being able to survive and winning games.
And yeah, I dislike Reflex a lot. Newborn is really stubborn about talking real suggestions to make balance changes that would make the game better. For over a year at one point the rockets were so OP that you didn't use anything but rockets cause the LG had no knockback and you can just +forward on them and just pop them with rockets. And they used to have some retarded ass splash damage too. The rocket could of hit far away and you hit like 80dmg. It was fucking dumb as shit. The game for the longest time was just rockets+rail and there was no +back at all in the game or positioning. They fixed it a little bit but I completely gave up on the game(Also don't play PC games anymore). They obviously ran out of money and constantly complained how they work for basically under minimal wage because they didn't want to get a publisher and decided to release it Early Access and lose a lot of potential income. They even changed the art design because I know the real fact of the matter was is that he ran out of money and couldn't afford the art man, I forgot his name, so they went with a new cheap look.
2GD is smart to not release his game on early access and spend his money he earns over time from other jobs to his developers so they can release a solid product at launch and make back his investment. newborn made the mistake going fulltime on Reflex with no real income backing him.

Not the best way to ease into it to be able to play multiple game modes. Duel also has this habit of becoming not fun if you whack at it for too long.
I definitely remember the horrors of Reflex. Fun facts - apparently Newborn is no longer on the team according to a friend of mine who was involved in porting CPM maps over to Reflex.
>>100If/when you're around, you should read post 100. I personally don't consider it "worth it" to play a clone of a game that's been out for years that doesn't have anything markedly different from the game it's cloning.
No.104
>>103Then who is making the decisions? Reflex is newborn's game and he only had one developer with him and an art guy that they couldn't afford till like… A year later.
Also I disagree with duel getting old. And the whole dueling against one playstyle can set you up for playing against a certain playstyle to counter but with proper practice you will be practicing to perfect your game and not just playing a counter to your partner. This is if you study the math behind everything there is to the game and finding the optimal ways to play any map. Takes considerable amount of map and game theory to be able to have one dueling partner and become a decently level player in a game. Some people are not good at sitting down to think about those things so I'll agree to playing different play styles would benefit a player.
Again this all depends on the level of skill a person has in critical thought, mathematics, and game/map theory. Some people just play the game and learn what is safe and not safe and that is as deep as they get. For me I just need to play a couple people and I can bolster myself to a decent level quickly if I have the time to devout to the game. I'm old now so I don't compete anymore in games and don't play PC games anymore for the lack of time I have now.
I really don't recommend people playing AFPS games now unless they got decent amount of time to commit to the game or have friends they can schedule times to goof around with each other. Most AFPS games are super low in numbers compared to other FPS types.
No.105
>>104>Then who is making the decisions?Shooter, I think? I don't think it's that he's completely separated from Reflex but he's no longer on the team for pretty much all aspects outside of being a figurehead/public face. That's my friend's scuttlebutt anyway, so I suggest we take it with a grain of salt.
>finding the optimal ways to play any mapI personally don't like this aspect of AFPS (for Quake/Reflex specifically) because it spawns what I call "fun vacuum" players who play ultra-cautiously and rely a lot on gaming maps with +back +rail. Definitely a playstyle that is beatable, but it's a common one that I think just goes against and devalues the spirit of active competition. The most interesting plays even in Quake Live were always those that involved lengthy critical thinking (considering what's up/down, health/armor ratios of both players, ammo, positioning, etc) and an overall final gamble on all of your calculations in conjunction with your aim.
>Also I disagree with duel getting oldDidn't say old, said not fun. To each his own but when someone is ONLY playing duel because they just want to be able to fight those who have been at it for the past 10 years, it truly cuts out a large chunk of the game that should be played often for the true full experience. CTFS and NTF are insanely fun, CTF is great, and 2v2 TDM is some of the most intense gameplay I've ever experienced. Otherwise, we get people like HyDr0 who are constantly berating other CPMA old hands for duels and spazzing out if something in a not-so-serious teammode game doesn't go perfectly right.
>Most AFPS games are super low in numbers compared to other FPS types.It's honestly unfortunate. I haven't found anything that's beaten CPMA in terms of community members and gameplay, and the last game to give me a thrill close to it was Tribes Ascend (5 years since the Shazbowl this coming February). All of these MOBA/ASScalifornia rollS + [genre] games are the least fun I've ever had online. I'm praying hard for Diabotical at this point, but I think James can deliver. I hope you're able to find the time to give it a shot when it comes out.

In my picture you see the results of a failed hunt for a capercaillie. My dog "elk killer" even ate the birds eggs leaving nothing for me so I am too tired to stand on my feet and no food to show for that hunt.
That is for my current playthrough where I went for the abandoned trapline scenario. I thought manning a trapline would be fun. Having deer and bear fall into my trap pits and whatnot.
The result was that traplines tie you down to one location preventing a nomad lifestyle of travel. Good for setting up near a log cabin you build somewhere but I have not found a good location for my cabin yet.
I am thinking my next move will either be to find a nice location for a cabin or get a team of hunting dogs and go bear hunting or clear out a village of njerps (russians).

Playing without using the lock-on takes some getting used to but it might help with certain bosses/areas where the camera (and the strictly 8-directional rolling) is a concern.

I hope nobody minds long-winded posts because I tend to try and be very descriptive and detail-oriented when I talk about certain things, especially games. With that said here are some thoughts I got down for Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters.
Despite the sale price for the full game being $1.99 at the time I'm making this post I decided to play the demo for Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters.
The story, as far as I got, was that a red moon shone and turned Chante, the eldest of the two, into a fairy and the two need to find the witch who did this and revert the spell.
As for character actions, it's pretty basic so far in what Elise and Chante themselves can do. Enemies drop crystals of different colors which can be used in the order you picked them up so Chante can perform spells. Elise herself can move in eight directions, jump, do a basic combo attack, a jump attack, lock-on, and do a sliding dodge in any of the eight directions she can move in. Sometimes she gets what looks like a critical hit as well though I don't know if that's random or if there is a certain trick to doing it on-command. I don't know if there is more they can do later but that is what is available so far.
The game is quite dated in more than just the way it looks but I'll start with the graphics first. To me, it looks kind of like N64 graphics in it's environments. The environments are often rather barren with grass and trees scattered here and there and a grass texture put on a lot of land to travel if you're in a grassy area. It's a nostalgic look and one that I really miss.
The characters have sprites instead of 3d models which is something that I found myself liking. I think the intention by the devs was for it to look like an actual anime that tends to feature detailed backgrounds but the characters having the simple and classic anime art style and I feel that it works well.
The camera is at a set level and can only be moved left or right. No zooming, panning, first-person, or anything like that. This is the first of the conveniences that I miss and have gotten used to because I like being able to look at all of my surroundings, high and low. I can't change around controls so I have to go without inverted camera controls. A minor inconvenience but something I feel is worth stating.
The voice acting is alright. I was never very good at gauging the quality of Japanese voice acting but I think it does it's job well-enough. It doesn't sound any different from the usual Jap voice work I hear in anime, at least.

Sister Friede isn't that much taller than you though, pic related. As for the rest of the humanoid enemies you fight who are way bigger than you, it's either because Fromsoft games run off of anime rules where it's normal for humans to be anywhere from 3 to 12 feet tall (like the big fuckers in Sekiro or the little hooded thieves in DS3) Or because, in the case of DS3, they're descendants of Gwyn and the other "lords" as opposed to descendants of the pygmies, like humans.

Well I mean, a new world will be created, but that's got nothing to do with all the things that have to end for it to happen. Hell if you look at Ringed City the game ACTUALLY ends, as in the last content Fromsoft gives you ends, with two nobodies fighting at the (literal?) end of the world for something they wouldn't even know what to do with even if they get it. It's super nihilistic.
Also I'm not entirely sure how this tiny flames thing works. To me that almost implies that by letting the darkness settle we'll be eventually returning to the World of Grey and we'll just make a new world with new pygmies and new retard Lords who can't just let the fire die.
No.1339
>>1332>Or because, in the case of DS3, they're descendants of Gwyn and the other "lords" as opposed to descendants of the pygmies, like humans.Almost entirely sure that while this is legit if they're actually descended from the Lords like the Silver Knights and all the Anor Londo bosses, it's also bullshit because you have shit like Evangelists from DS3 who're like 15 feet tall so it's basically just to scare you. Hell even the Cathedral Knights are like twice your size and there's no way all of them are descended from gods.

It's super nihilistic.It definitely is, which is also a fitting end for the series. It's pretty much par for the course that everyone in Dark Souls gets a bad end, universe included. But you could argue that the REAL last piece of content in the game is when you bring the blood to the painter girl. While it's tragic that she's still expecting Gael to show up, she, like the firekeeper in End of Fire, has a small bit of hopeful dialogue where she says "I will assuredly finish the painting. Of a cold, dark, and very gentle place. One day, it will make someone a goodly home."
>we'll just make a new world with new pygmies and new retard Lords who can't just let the fire die.Well, it's intentionally left super vague. Maybe the same thing happens all over again, or maybe the new world is something completely different, who knows.

Finished Jet Set Radio yesterday.
I really didn't like it. The movement felt unresponsive and janky, something that should've already been perfected for this since Tony Hawk Pro Skater was released a year before. Overshooting where I wanted to go was always a thing. Enemies can't be attacked and the game places a bunch of them in locations that need to be graffiti'd, leading to a bunch of frustration when the worst part of the game comes in, spraying walls.
I think this may be because I was emulating and there may be some inacuraccy, but it was incredibly frustrating moving the stick up or down and not having the game recognize it. I would be fingering and rubbing the controller as if my life depended on it, and it wouldn't recognize anything. This, along with the enemies that have unavoidable attacks and interrupt you while spraying walls, would send me to scream in the later levels.
I REALLY want to know why this game is so acclaimed, because the game itself is not good. Maybe average at best for the time it came out, but nowadays there's no reason. It tries to be a performance game and a "collectathon" and it fails miserably on both cases. Music can also get grating from time to time, and visually it's ok, but that alone cannot carry a game.
I really wanted to like it but sadly that couldn't be the case. Who designs a game in which one of the main features is staying in front of a wall without moving, while a bunch of unkillable enemies attack you from all sides?
