Re: Anchorage showed an inherent flaw in trying to make RPGs like shooters
[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="motherfuckerfoodeater"]That shit where you run through trenches and guys pop out on all sides was fucking grueling. In a real shooters you can blast those dudes with a headshot and move on, but when there are dice behind the scenes you just have to sit there and lean on the fire button until they finally fall over. Nobody who posts on this site liked F3 more than me, but I had to take a big break after that shit.[/quote] Loved Point Lookout. I even loved the fact that the second-toughest enemy in the game is a HILLBILLY. I think a game can, once a game, get away with making a mundane figure a deeply difficult antagonist. God that sounded like it came from the bowels of a shitwad. WHAT I MEAN is, it's okay to make an inbred, bucktoothed Hatfield really tough, as long as you're not also giving the alley cats and bagful of kittens 200 hit points, too. Who still references the Hatfields and the McCoys? WHAT I MEAN IS oh fuck it. ICJ[/quote]
