Objectively the best kind of shooters

Sometimes I forget that the reason why the average warhammer fight doesn’t look like this is because the overwhelming majority of fights are between non augmented or genetically altered humans.

If there was a gene transfer program to make every human an ogryn that isn’t buff this fucking franchise would be xeelee tier levels of fucked up. Transhumanist sci fi will always be uniquely and conceptually horrifying

After the Activision buyout, Blizzard’s leading game designers would go on to ruin AAA gaming for millions of people. Personally, I think blizzard’s mentality for accessibility is what caused the problems.

Blizzard used to keep world of warcraft (WOW) easy. Old WOW used to be simple to learn and simple to play. The progression system was easy, so was the combat, and the quests were simple to understand. For most players, the game wasn’t too competitive and it was easy to make friends.

Milsims like Arma and Squad still have that “easy to learn, easy to make friends” kind of appeal. Even the early soulsborne series had that “simple in design, easy to find fun” appeal despite what the masochists claimed about the souls series. Most AAA games released by blizzard and other high-ranking studios abondoned this approach to game design.

Blizzard catered to the hardcore players too much and made WOW hard. I’m glad that the devs are going back on most of the changes, but the damage and legacy is all still there. Multiplayer shooters are worse than ever. It’s basically impossible to get into any new multiplayer game without being bombarded with endlessly convoluted systems and a hardcore player-base. Gaming is so much harder now. Even games that should feel easy like path of exile 2 play as if I need a manual again to understand what’s going on.

How can this series shift from a grimdark survival horror to a kid-friendly coomerbait seemingly at the snap of a finger? It's more tonally inconsistent than Sonic games frfr. And what's the point of the kid-friendly entries still being horror games? FNaF World was a self-aware spin-off at least, Security Breach straight out looks like Poppy Playtime or some shit.

Over the years, I’ve learned many things about multiplayer shooters. I’m here to share my tips. You don’t have to be good at aiming, movement, or teamwork to learn any of these skills.

>first and foremost: camp
Camping is objectively the only viable playstyle. Rushing and leaving yourself open ever is stupid and will make you lose your KDR arbitrarily. Let the idiots run into your line of fire, they deserve to die to campers.

>best setups
If your game has attachments, I recommend these
<always use tracerless rounds even if you suffer damage debuffs.
<equip a scope/sight and a suppressor
<if any machine pistols are optional, take them. They are better than missile launchers and shotguns

>never shoot in the open.
<If you’re in open terrain, crouch or lay prone; if you’re fighting in an urban map, always shoot within buildings; you’re aiming through a window, a wall, or a door, keep your in-game avatar standing parallel to the wall and not perpendicular to it; doing so makes you slightly less easy to hit than if your face was directly perpendicular to a window’s opening

>never reload or use explosives if you’re not fully behind cover.

>Bayonetta 2 gets Samus's Varia Suit instead of her Zero Suit
>Doom Eternal gets absolutely nothing
What was Nintendo thinking? Such a missed opportunity, The Zero Suit in Bayonetta 2 and a Doom x Metroid crossover make so much sense.

Anyone else here play this kino update? It fixed alot of issues I had with the base game, like the slow combat, the story is much clearer as well and learns into the schizo visuals the first game was lacking in which was nice

Why are gamers salesfags these days? Seems like everyone is obsessed with game popularity, like it's the only thing that matters is whether or not other people play the same games you do

When i present furry or are seen with furry, this always be:
Fasch idiot: "Ew furries are zoophile degenerates"

Hehe i made it in a random anarchy minecraft server

Again, same guy editing new Vegas. I discovered this shockingly common design flaw after observing how raiders fight in desert and urban environments.

I found that NPCs in most games tend to fail at finding cover in natural environments.

For context, game developers assign certain objects marks that tells an NPC “hey you can take cover here.” In gameplay, these markers allow NPCs to hide behind crates, cars, doorways, and other man-sized objects.

Now with terrain, normally there are plenty of hills, rocks, and depressions available for NPCs to take cover from. In Arma, players (hopefully) take advantage of these aspects to conceal and cover themselves during combat and patrols. In real life, there are entire systems dedicated to using terrain to cover oneself from enemy fire.

Now with most shooters, this basic feature is no where to be found. Yeah, even in milsims, I was surprised to find NPCs failing to recognize objects as simple as rocks as useful things to hide behind.

Why isn’t this something that is fixed in milsims right now. I can understand why this pathfinding feature may not be as common in arcade shooters, but for the more realistic games, missing something like this is a massive mistake.
