Suppose i'll kick this one off too....
Me playing Killer Instinct Gold on ludacris speed, master difficulty. No losses, lots of fatals. Not sure if any of you were interested in it before, but i'm posting it again, just because I did really well in this video.
-
Still impressive, I'm guessing this is where that whole "c-c-c-combo breaker" thing came from. Also why dose the final boss explode?
-
Because hes a silly gargoyle :P

Second most grenade kills on the server.
-
I topped the kill list on a game of Rainbow Six Vegas tonight despite being the lowest-ranked person on the server (Private First-Class). The people on my team were groaning about having a private on their team until I unleashed the fury on our enemies...at which point then they asked me to join their next game.
I also made it up to Specialist rank today. Woo!
Also, my character now looks like this:

beware of the grinning man.
-
YES. And it's really kind of amusing how many of my teammates just stared at my character during a slow point of the match.
Also, my friend and I have the oddest case of Xbox 360 unreliability ever (the sheer unluckiness makes it a sort of an anti-accomplishment, so here it is). My wired X360 headset "died" the other day -- the ear piece didn't work at all but the mic was fine. I figured it'd just gotten damaged during the move so I picked up another one...which did the same thing.
I plugged it into my friend's controller and it worked fine. Obviously the jack on my controller is screwed up...grr. Should be easy to fix with a little bit of soldering, so whatever...probably just a severed wire.
Since we realized that we have two working headsets, my friend plugged it into his controller so that he wouldn't have to use the shitty overpriced wireless ones that Microsoft sells (which have an effective range of 1ft and constantly drop the connection to the Xbox...le sigh). We plug it in and test it out and find out that the microphone component of the headset connector on his controller is bad.
So we have two controllers with bad headset jacks -- one that doesn't let you hear and one that doesn't let you speak. FDhasoihn2kjlm,gfr./a#@$><!5.3/

Nice angry garble, that was actually nicely random. Also, That blows, though anti-accomplishment is a nice term.

Their was 3 pretty damn good people on the other team that left after I took the photo, but I'll post it anyways.

Hah, you're using the greatest gun evar :V

I'll usually use the AK before anything on T, but the gun I'm using is amazingly accurate when it comes to spraying and ranged.

50 FPS is great for me. I do find it funny when someone has twice the frame rates as me (if not more) and I still have a faster reaction/better aim.
-
Because after 60 FPS the monitor doesn't update any faster, lol. Unless they have a monitor that manages 70 or 72 FPS, but that's usually only at low rez.

Ironically enough, I played on a system just like that at PAX. But I didn't lose.
Also, Mortifiedocalot, that gun freaking rules, seriously. Sure the damage isn't quite as great as the AK, but the rate of fire, accuracy, and general badassery of it makes up for it. Kicks the bullpup's ass for sure.

I haven't really used much of either to notice a difference, they seem damn near same to me. Only problem it has is it's way too weak for the money, rather get a galil or a famas.
-
I almost exclusively use that weapon if I can, but it might just be because I love the scope. I never really got a hang of the galil, but I do use the famas regularly, burst is freaking vicious.
-
I completed all of the races in the first two cups in Forza 2. I also managed to push my VW Golf R32 up to a U-class car (its engine exceeds 700hp...wtf). My TVR Speed 12 also exceeds 1100hp and is hard as hell to control now.

I used to regularly play Quake 2 on a system that had a 2MB ATI Rage Pro and I did fairly well. THAT is pain.
-

Really? is their a way to find a monitors FPS cap? Also I find it funny that some kid said it's not worth playing with anything lower then 60 FPS. I guess he could somehow notice the difference.
-
Well, technically you won't see much of a difference visually between 30 and 60 FPS. The only difference is that if someone moves really quickly, you'll likely seem them move a portion of a second earlier because at higher frame rates.
Just because a game says it's refreshing at whatever frame rate doesn't mean that you can see it. A monitor has a set refresh rate, which means that (usually) ever 1/60 of a second, whatever the game reports is going on, will be displayed. When a game reports it's frame rate, that's how fast the game can update what should be shown on the screen, but that doesn't mean that the screen is displaying every frame that the game is. It simply takes a snapshot of the video info and displays it every update.
The reason you don't see any flickering when you look at a screen is because any image you see tends to stay on your eyes for about 1/5 of a second (IIRC), which means that all the images from the monitor are overwriting each other within that time frame. If you were to have a monitor refreshing at 5 frames a second or slower, you can very easily see a flickering in it. In any case, between 0 and 30 frames a second (game frame rate) you can see the game be choppy and stuff. Above 60 FPS, unless your monitor's refresh rate is set to 70 or 72 FPS, then you won't see any difference.
All of this is assuming you have V synch on (which means the game only updates it's screen when the monitor is supposed to, it prevents issues like tearing and takes some of the stress off your video card and processor).
If you want to see what your monitor is capable of, you need to go into the advanced video settings stuff (you know, the stuff for your drivers instead of the windows thing), and try to change the refresh rate settings. Of course, make sure that it asks you to confirm that it's working, since if you set the rate too high, your monitor will go black, or display an error. Usually 70/72 Hz refresh only works with the low resolutions.
-
The refresh rate depends on how your system is set up and how good your monitor is. My LCD can sync with refresh rates of 75hz at any resolution (pretty good for an LCD, from what I've seen) while my CRT can hit up to 160hz depending on the resolution. Saying that 70/72hz only works on lower resolutions is very much inaccurate nowadays, though -- the bottom-of-the-line Dell 17" monitor that I have syncs at 100hz at 640x480. I think the only resolution that doesn't allow refresh rates over 60hz on that display is 1280x960/1024.
The refresh rate matters more on CRTs than LCDs because it determines how quickly the electron gun sweeps the screen vertically. Depending on the person, some people may see a noticeable flickering on screens with a 60hz refresh rate. Outside influences can affect this, such as lighting, how sick or hung over you are (I was a little headachey after my 22nd birthday party and 60hz refresh rates were extremely noticeable to me), etc.
All of this is assuming you have V synch on (which means the game only updates it's screen when the monitor is supposed to, it prevents issues like tearing and takes some of the stress off your video card and processor).
Having vsync on is actually more demanding on hardware than having it off. It forces the renderer to have to more accurately time the frames to the refresh intervals. So, despite the game being forced to run at a reduced framerate, it can still end up running slower than it normally would if it were left uncapped.
-
Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Reducing how often the game renders, which can really affect things if it runs at a high frame rate (free all the rendering time for other operations, essentially) but i don't know the efficiency of the synchronization system, so I dunno if that actually works.. I was guessing there :/
I can see 60 hz flicker in my peripheral vision. Also, I said 70/72 works on lower rez because that's how one of my monitors worked... I havent bothered working with this monitor to see what it could do.
-
faster response rates = more monitor fps? My 19"w has 5 ms, and my 15" has 16 ms. Wonder what difference that would make.
-
Probably not much, by faster it's only like, well, 10 ms there. 10 ms is so insanely small unless we're talking about SM...
-
What exactly is the timing window for a marvelous?
-
22.5 ms if I read this correctly.
-
shit son, that means that I have to hit the arrow at least 17 ms before my monitor shows it up. Not only that, but keyboard lag, too. Actually, it wouldnt matter all too much because the stepfile was made to accommodate such lag. =o
-
Well the thing is, we are already trained with the monitor lag in mind, so we perceive no difference because the ideal place for us to begin pushing the button is determined by playing, not by watching it go to the right spot, we use our ears, so we can hear when to hit it, and use the screen as a visual guide as to which button to press, or at least, that's how I work (I do need to read it though, visual is a large part of it for me). I do notice some difference between monitors, but very little, and it's easy enough to deal with.
Essentially, that 17 ms is pretty much transparent to us in reality. And if we're talking about random lags that add up, there's the time it takes for our fingers to move from the starting position down until the key triggers, the time it takes for the signal to enter the computer, the time it takes the computer to process the fact that the keyboard was just pressed, and the time it takes to figure out whether you hit at the right time or not. In reality, we're probably pressing the note a considerable time before it is actually processed on the screen.
-
right. most of these I would assume have already been adjusted for by the chart maker.
-
No, it's not necessary to adjust for them in the chart, the notes should be placed directly where they need to be, we adjust ourselves. Our brain adjusts to see exactly where the note needs to be so that when we press the key, by the time it processes it, the note was in the right position. Essentially, our brain decides when to begin the process of hitting the button, and if we start when the screen shows the note being exactly on ithe receptor, it will be a worse timing window than if we started early, which our brain makes us do.
-
right, but what I mean is, that the arrows have already been positioned with this in mind. (processing time, keyboard delay, etc)
-

Too bad I expect the exact opposite to occur tommorow when we play cs <_<
-
Could have posted one of the maps where my score was a little more then half of your's but NOOOOO.
-
Uhh, the notes are positioned exactly on time, otherwise you'd know they were offtime, even though you're already offtime because of the input lag.
-
Nope, because this one was far more impressive :3
-
i guess i can post this
beat mgs3 for the first time a few days ago, nonlethal kills on all bosses, got all of the camos.
not a big accomplishment, but another beaten game is another beaten game.
ps: the boss sucks total ass before you get the hang of her. after you get the hang of her, its hard to lose. "let her cqc you, counter, 3 hit combo her, she falls, shoot her twice(tranq darts)...rince repeat" and another one "she is close to you shooting at you with her patriot, simply get within melee range, and 3hit her to fall, and shoot her twice"
you could just stealth around and use the sniper tranq gun, but that takes too long, and the boss is a timed fight.
-

God damn admins. Ulti is also pretty good with a scout, he almost had me when we where having our little scout fight.

I've never stunned a boss before, it seems really hard to do. Specially on bosses like The fear and The end where they can regenerate their stamina. I have beaten the game on hard tho, with just a few seconds on the final boss I stabbed here in the face and won. That and the constant C4 charges I did to her (which she avoids near the end).

I got my grenade kill within 3 rounds and got my knife within 2. Oh and Dale Gribble is my friend.

around 6-8ish years ago, i got myself a copy of final fantasy 7, i played this game, logged in 80 hours, and got my party to around level 72. i got to sephiroth, and for some reason, i couldn't beat him, so i quit.
about 5 days ago, i decide, i need to beat this game, so i start playing. and 37 hours later at the awesome level of 69, i beat it.
this time around, the only magic i used was regen(well, at the final area anyway), thats all i needed this time around to get the job done.
cloud, barret, cid, was what i used.
the game was more fun than i remember, but yea, time to borrow a copy of 9 and sink my teeth into it. (not going with 8, as aside from me recently beating 7, its the only "numerical" ff game ive beaten, and my current favorite....gameplay wise....character wise...rofl, no)
-
I'm not a fan of 8 at all either. But I absolutely love 9. The story could be better, but who could possibly hate Vivi, Eiko, or Garnet? I love the characters, the game world, and the music in FF9.
-
I'm not a fan of 8 at all either.
to clarify, i DID NOT state i didn't like 8. i LOVE 8, simply stated im not going to play 8 because i already beat it, and all of the sidequests, and i have not beaten 9.
im pretty sure im one of 5 people who actually enjoy 8, and the only person worldwide who prefers it over 7, 9, 10, and 12.
but yea, going to see about getting 9, beating it, then if im not sick of ff by then, ill work on 10, then 12.
ive been in a jrpg mood lately, and its a hunger that i haven't had in a good 5 or so years, what best to fill it than by beating ff games i haven't bothered finishing.
-

If you can actually find it, digital devil saga is a good series, hard as hell too. Also I haven't bothered picking up ff 12 since I made it to Archades, anyone know close to the end of the game that is?
-
You're probably 4/5th's of the way done. You've got Giruvegan, then Pharos, as far as I know. I'm stuck at Pharos, it's just too damn big :<
-
Well, it sounded like you didn't like it, and were skipping it...
I'm just a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to FF games...
-
Well, it's freaking enormous, and I'm lost as to what I'm suppposed to do next, that's the issue.
-
so i borrowed ff9 sunday, i just beat it, and spent around 30 mins watching the ending/credits.
for me (bold to emphasize me, and not you, therefore my own opinion) i have not seen a better ending for a game. (period)
my party at the end was zidane, eiko, steiner, and quina.
next game on the list is 10, and compaired to 9's story, its going to be a major downgrade(haven't played through 10 all the way, but i know the story all the way through)
anyway, 9 was fantastic, if you haven't played it, buy it on amazon for $20.00, well worth it.
-
:D happy to see someone else giving 9 a good review, too many FF fans skipped it or got wrapped up on the whole "FFX grafix jomg" crap. I always thought that FF9 had one of the best stories.
-
So I got golds on all of the races in Forza 2, maxed out my level, maxed out all of the manufacturers levels, bought all of the cars, and have 970/1000 gamerpoints on it (the missing 30 are for getting 1,000,000 credits in online races...the only thing left to do).
Yet I still want to play it. :/ I'll probably start a new profile and restart in a different region or something.
-
I just scanned 75% of the stuff in metroid and I got a message saying secret ending unlocked, on veteran mode. Also my friend compared metroid 3 to halo 3, which I find kinda retarded. I guess on purely the 1 player part of halo to metroid I would say metroid because it's longer then 5 hours.
-
Metroid Prime and Halo are totally different game types. They really can't be compared. :/
Tell your friend to spontaneously combust.
Also: Are you fucking kidding me? For some reason, "combust" isn't in Firefox's dictionary. :/
-
I recently got 100% map and 100% souls in Castlevania Aria of Sorrow...took me WAYYY too long...I think it was something like 28 hours of gameplay :)
-
Also: Are you fucking kidding me? For some reason, "combust" isn't in Firefox's dictionary. :/
This has happened to me once or twice before. It won't accept certain things in lower case, either :/
-
Beat metroid, didn't realize the final boss had 3 parts so I almost died at the end of it. Also

Hah, just realized he has a better KDR then me, fuckin AWP whore.
-
I beat Portal thrice (once normally, once with the developers' commentary, once quickly) and beat the six advanced missions. Portal may be short but regardless it's probably the best game I've played recently.
-
I just beat Portal in 49 minutes and 30 seconds, including cinematics, a few deaths, and a ton of mistakes. Why do I get the feeling that it's going to be my new Metroid Zero Mission (i.e. a fairly short game that I run through a bazillion times)?
Edit: I made a 43 minute run a couple of hours ago...still a lot of mistakes and slowdowns (i.e. doing something wrong and, say, having to wait for a platform...argh). Regardless, it's a hell of an improvement.
I'm referring to single-segment runs, by the way.
-
final fantasy x complete
the ending was ok, but for the most part, i really did not enjoy the game. not a big fan of the world (beats the world of final fantasy tactics/12/vagrant story[its the same world]), story was ok, characters didn't really bother me. but overall, as a game, i didn't really like it. i had to force myself to play through it, and now, i have ff7-10 under my belt. i guess i can start on x-2 whenever i decide to pop it in the ps2, after that, 12. and after 12, i guess i can play through 2-6 (beat ff1 on the gba/gbc, whatever it was ported to) if im not sick of the series by then.
-
(beats the world of final fantasy tactics/12/vagrant story[its the same world])
What. Ivalice is like, the best thing to come out of Final Fantasy....ever. I absolutely love morally ambiguous stories like FFT or Vagrant Story. Not knowing whether you're actually a good guy or not is awesome. I actually just picked up the PSP version of FFT (I don't even have a PSP yet) because they completely retranslated the script so it's even better than it was before.
I finished Bioshock and got Little Sister Savior, which means I rescued all the Little Sisters and never harvested any of them. Sadly, I forgot to go back to Cohen's room to get those achievements.
-
wellp, ivalice to me is boring. can't say why, i just don't like it.
and ut3 makes me feel like i suck at fps games, because im so terrible at it. im a bit better at ut2k4, atleast im not in last place EVERY SINGLE GAME like i am in ut3.
(http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/3042/thirdex9.jpg)
not sure if its the dodge jump, the max fps, certain servers having really low ping, or whatever. ut2k4 is fun. at least in ut2k4 i can kill worth a damn with the shock rifle. im not "good" but im a hellovalot better than i am at ut3, methinks me needs practice.
-
I Just beat metroid zero mission. Clear time: 1:09:44, 37% Items. (On normal difficulty)
This is my first attempt at a speed run, but I really want to try to get it under an hour.

All-Stars, Very Easy, Donkey Kong. No-Miss Clear means I didn't die, you always get it at the end of All-Stars matches.
-
Still impressive, makes me want to try, but I know I'll get the the end and get hit by one of the random falling tools.

well, i have a thread for it, but it deserves to be posted here.
beating contra is an accomplishment.

Lost 3 fights in BWII, then I went up against a 4 start general name Hitler (who had like 143 wins and about 43 loses). It was an assault map, so he had to attack me, which he did really good. So I had to defend my HQ flag, which I somehow managed to do for about 5 minuets and ended up winning.

this is long overdue for me, i originally bought morrowind for the xbox some 5ish years ago, got a leet character, and never beat it, the xbox started acting up and freezing. sometime last summer, i decided to buy the GOTY (morrowind + expansions) at the next towns super walmart for $20. played the shit out of it, stopped, played off and on making little progress till i decided to finish this bad boy off today.
this image is sad, but true

all you get for beating dagoth ur, is a shitty ring that lets you see in the dark, and restores a piddley amount of fatigue.
and i guess here is my character.
(http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/6168/morrowindcharacterra3.jpg)
sure there are gods in this game, but my power exceeds them, dagoth ur is a pushover, and if you want, vivec isn't too bad either, though he takes forever to kill(and you have to reload the save when you do kill him).
umm, i do assloads of damage, 120% resist magic, and other buffs you get from just playing the standard story. not to mention the levitating ring of goatse i wear that is a constant effect levitate, YOU CANT FUCKING FLY IN OBLIVION NOW CAN YAH?!?
anyway, morrowind kicks ass, its cheap, yall should play it. sure oblivion has a better combat engine than morrowind, but it isn't enough to get me to like it more, maby if i decide to break my balls and max out stats for an oblivion character, i may beat it, but grinding in dragon quest is honestly nothing in compairison.
anyway, morrowind = defeated

That game is fun, but at lv 33ish, I was already pretty damn powerful, and just got bored. Plus, the game likes to crash on me a lot.

beat killer7
yes, it gets more fucked up, and yes, you have to sit through two things of credits.
by more fucked up, i mean i still don't understand what was going on in the game having beaten it.
-
Bout time nigger, also isn't it just the "bad" ending if you kill that other assassin?
-
i believe its the same either way. but watching what happens after the second set of credits, confused as was, i liked it.
fucked up, made no sense, confusing, awesome.
-
Well SPOILER:In the "good end" that other assassin lives, and the UN invades America, because of what it did to japan and it becoming a world dictator, in the bad end the island your on gets bombed and apparently japan get completely bombed again. Also the end with Harman shooting at Kun again was their whole process of taking down a country happening again, 100 years in the future. (Might not have been them, but considering young Harman called Emir/Garcian Immortal it's possible)

Call of duty 4 on the 360. the other team was mostly made up of the "AD28" guys as a clan.. and they were pissing me off the previous few games for the way that they played. So, I went all out, and look what happened. After I took that photo, all of them left. ha.
my friend wasn't having too good a night [baradu]

Haha. Anyone that's played UT should know the kill combo messages Double, Multi, Ultra, and Monster. On Monsterhunt servers though, considering assloads of monsters are raping you and you have to kill them, the combo messages are Double, Multi, Mega, Ultra, Monster, Ludicrous, Holy Shit, and then Yarisugi, which I found out a few days ago. Getting Holy Shit isn't hard at all, but you don't get Yarisugi until you get like 50 Holy Shits in a row so it's rare to see one. I abused a trick to getting nonstop pupaes and got about 200+ Yarisugis in a row.
Good stuff.

beat marvel ultimate alliance with some friends today
took a few play sessions, but we finished it, twas a nice game to play with 4 people.
the final team was
silver surfer (said player was also nightcrawler, green arrow, hulk, and wolverine, because he can't fucking make up his mind)
deadpool
venom
dr. doom (me)
basically, venom and silver surfer would fuck everything up with the ranged knockback damage aoe attack, and deadpool and myself would either shoot at random killing enemies we can't see because they are knocked off screen, or run around collecting money.
not saying deadpool and i are useless, my mask lazer has stupidly high single target damage, and deadpool for some reason, was the most durable out of the four of us, and he wasn't even the highest level.
but yea, if you have 4 people, a 360, and some marvel, give it a go.
-
Went against a level 9 Ike with Jigg's and ended up with all 3 of my stock and 60 something damage. Funny considering it was basically my 4th time playing as him.
-
Nothing much for me really other on FFTA all my characters had that race's form of Ultima and made the the game really boring
-
beat kotor 2, yep, its worth the $20.00 or so it costs. i guess its "better" than kotor in nearly every single way, but i still like the first game over this one, never was much for the GRIMDARK storyline this game has, but nevertheless, its good.
(http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/5448/darksideyk3.jpg)
force wave, force storm, force storm = anyone around you, dead
force crush = dead single target bosses
death field + the best medkits + master energy absorption + preying i don't die in 3 shots = hopefully a dead final boss
as you can see in the screenshot, my character is wounded. now this was from loading the quicksave on the last boss...and hitting esc IMMEDIATLEY...yea that there boss can lay down the pain, but its nothing too stupid (well...ok it is) and its possible, so yea. not to mention, who the last boss is, was a pleasant surprise, and someone i was glad to murder.
good game, and another to add to the list of games ive beaten.

I finally got around to getting started with (and beating) Half-Life 2: Episode One tonight. It was very fun up until the end, then it got a bit tedious.
Maybe I'll nail Episode Two next weekend...or sometime this week.
-
Episode One was really kinda dumb and basically contained everything I disliked about HL2. The electric water jumping, escorting people with retarded situations each time and that entire end sequence was pretty stupid.
Episode Two is a lot better though. Aside from not being so short, it's just more epic in every way...except the ending, which will make you scream.
-
I didn't mind Episode One up until the end, personally. Copy and paste the tiny SPOILER text for specifics:
Okay, the part at the end when you escort the people was down-right horrible. Like Alyx said, why couldn't they just move everyone all at once? It was hard for the sake of being hard, with basically no justifiable reason for it.
The strider battle at the very end, before you two board the train, was just awful. There's just something not particularly fun about jumping around the room like you're in a bad 3D platformer, with the strider doing nothing but taking pot shots at you the entire time. I also hate what they did with the mines with that part in particular. I recall running around a corner during that battle only to be killed by one of those damn mines (well, technically, the mine almost killed me and the strider did kill me -- I had nearly full health before that, with some suit energy). I just love DIAS (http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=336)-style gameplay.
I dunno, is the ending for Episode Two as bad as the one for Half-Life: Opposing Force (if you've played that)? HL:OF just made me feel like I wasted my time.
-
The ending for Episode Two is just a MASSIVE cliffhanger. You're going to scream because you'll want more nooooooooow. Especially with where you'll be going and what that entails.
-
Ah, so it's like Halo 2 (only more agonizing)? In that case, if you don't hear from me for a while it'll be because I destroyed something out of sheer frustration due to the ending (since I plan to beat Episode Two tonight...).
-
Well finally hoped onto CSS for the first time within a month. In one particular round my team was being killed off fast (the last 2 guys on their team were awesome) so I plant the bomb at A (at dust 2) and cover it from pit (that steep hole at the end of "long A") so while one guy is defusing, the other one is looking around and I fire a few shots, all of them miss. So I fire a few more and now the other guy sees me and starts to charge and shoot. Eventually I stop shooting and wait for my recoil to settle down, while this is happening the other is just running and waiting to get within a decent range to see me and kill me while his team mate was defusing, then a few secounds before the guy charging kills me I let off a shot and it nails the guy defusing in the head and drops him. The guy who charged me reloads, turns around confused, runs about half way back, but realizes it's to late and hides while the bomb goes off. The thing that made it MOST satisfying was my own team mates saying "oh fuck, I just all my money" (you can bet for a team to win) to which I replied "don't bet against me then". Fun times.
-
Haha, necropwned.

holy crap
i won a deathmatch in gta 4
it was a fastest to $2500 and i had 23 kills, and the second place guy had 18. normally im in the upper middle ranks in deathmatch, but i got lucky and actually won. not to mention, i only used the standard 9mm pistol the entire game ;o
and i guess less of an accomplishment, i did second place in a 15 minute auto aim airport deathmatch with only ak's. games like that = FAST KILLS FAST MONEY
and for fun, any map which has easy access to the combat pistol. i swear that motherfucker is the best weapon in the game. if only i had bought it before i beat the story of the game, it would have made things slightly easier. i mean, why would you want an assault rifle when you have an accurate pistol which kills the target in 2-3 shots.
*edit*
i made a first to 10,000 and a first to 2500 on airport with assault rifles, lock on, spawn near, deathmatch....and i won both of them in a row....the 10,000 game, the second place guy didn't even have 6000. which is weird, considering im not necessarily "good" at the game.
i swear crouching before you shoot = you kill them and they don't kill you
-
i swear crouching before you shoot = you kill them and they don't kill you
Well, yeah...it makes you a smaller target and makes your aim more accurate. :P
-
I was gonna say that. It kinda (really) makes sense.
-
i don't know about you, but crouching in a WIDE OPEN SPACE in any other vidya is the stupidest thing you can do(sure you are a smaller target, but you aren't really moving either). but in gta, with auto aim on, it seems to work. when the auto aim is off, you can afford to lose a little accuracy if you use terrain to your advantage and or move around like a little bitch.
also, deal breaker, and bomb da base 2, are fuck awesome to play with a friend online.
-
I have triumphed over Forza 2 yet again. I now have at least one of every single car ever released for that game sitting in my virtual garage.
Oh yeah, I'm hardcore.

I did considerably well at ITG today. I played a few times before I started going to the gym every day, and I did alright. But today... wow. I had so much stamina, my body and mind was just working extremely well and it was great. I passed Vertex Expert (no bar :D) with an 87% which is one of my better scores. I almost passed Tell, too. Which, I think is pretty good since I've only played it about twice before, and that was probably over a year ago. I accidentally had the scroll speed at 4x which is a little fast for me, too :|

i got some 16,000 points in qub3d in gta 4

for the north american xbox version of metal gear solid 2, for raidens level 2 hold up mission, i was rank 4 out of all of the people who submitted a score. i guess that was with the people from age 15-17 (this was quite a long time ago, i was like 16 or something)
turned the age thing off and im rank 18, which actually isn't that bad

now if i did this on the japanese ps2 version...my score would knock me down to 43rd place...which still, isn't that bad.
anyway, this was back in the day, i spent about 4-5 hours playing this literally 4-5 SECOND long mission to achieve my score.

i mean its a sin not to beat the second game, but its more of a sin not to beat the first(twin snakes doesn't count, i have no respect for that game).
the game isn't hard, or long, gogogo

Not bad, considering I only play gun games and haven't done an objective map like this in a while. (the score is 36, 22. Hard to see but that was at round end).
-
I had an awful awful run in CoD4 on some stage I can't remember. It was like 3-35 though. I mean terrible.
Then the next game I was annoyed and the stage was Vacant which is almost all close quarters stuff so I used my shotgun class and ended up with 43-7 and totally wrecked the other team. I also had someone ask if I was some form of anti-sniper. My answer was that there were too many in the game so someone has to balance them out.
-
I love shotgunning (hell, even SMGing) on Vacant.
I don't understand why so many people seem to use their standard assault rifle builds on that map.
-
Any map...I use the M16, and I rape people with it. My average kills in a map is usually 25+
Sometimes lower, depending on how good i'm doing and what map I play. Actually last night I was at my friend Matts house playing CoD4 on his ps3, and went 36-2 on downpour. I love that map.

this is my sorcerer shortly before i killed diablo
(http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/6417/sorcereruv5.png)
gotta admit, i wasn't feeling this game when i was playing warrior. but when i got started up on the sorcerer, i couldn't stop. after you get used to the fact that you can't run, this is a nice little time killer (its short, but sweet)
my sorcerer feels like a sherman tank, like NOTHING can hurt me, and i have enough mana potions on me (inventory is full of em) it would take a long time for me to go down, but by that time, whatever im fighting should be dead.
glass cannon my ass, more like steel cannon.

I got over 800m in the "Make the Moon" stage in Katamari Damacy.
EDIT: Now I've unlocked all 3 of the "Eternal" stages.

I finished Ikaruga today. Yeah, on Easy, and I used ten lives, but...okay, so I feel a sense of accomplishment anyway. That game is hard. I'll do it again on one credit before I start on Normal. =P

Diablo screenshot
WHAT THE FUCK, the '5' is perfect in D1. How'd they manage to fuck it up in D2?
But uh, yeah. I'm thinking of installing D1 again now (thanks vlad). It's been a hella long time since I last played that.
-
I have several "gun" achievements on Q4 for the 360. One of which (and one of the harder ones) is the achievement "Blaster Master." Basicly go through the level with the blaster only. It was only hard because I was low on health for the entire level. I wasn't playing on medium or easy but on hard (ironicly enough the hardest difficulty is a joke for me).
-
Oh yeah, I realized I didn't finish all of the events in brawl. So I did and unlocked event 41, which took me a few tries, then after that was done I got nothing. You'd figure they would give away something.
-
Ok what the hell. I just went through some old PS1 games an beat Tomb Raider 2, but Tomb Raider 3 is long and fucking impossible.
Like TR2 flows level wise and TR3 is just one fucking level for 68 hours jesus.

I had the honor of playing MGS4 today...I am very pleased.
Also I beat Screaming Mantis and Liquid Ocelot on my first try.

beat fallout
game was almost too easy when i got all the best shit i could get, with 200% energy weapons. but it was cool. melting faces, and disintegrating people NEVER gets old.
and before the "ending" the recap of how the world is doing after you beat the game is pretty cool, but the actual ending, like what happens to your character is pretty bullshit.
but if you have negative karma (i don't, i like playing good guy most of the time), target said person before the cut scene starts, or have the bloody mess trait, the ending is fuck sweet.
tiny text = spoilarz
basically the overseer tells you that you are a hero and saved everybody in the vault, maby even the human race...but because you are a hero it could cause people to want to leave the vault (he is a nigger and doesn't let people leave, the main character is an exception because of the first quest) so you are banished pretty much.
having what i said above, it shows him walking to the vault....and you pull out a gun, and shoot him. the left half of his body is blown off, and he tries to crawl to the vault door with the one arm he has left...and dies shortly after dragging himself a foot or two.
after that, you are shown walking into the desert wasteland to some old 50's music playing in the background.
*edit*
time for a tomba 2 accomplishment, note ive done this before, its just really hard.
after 20 or so tries on the first trolley mission, i beat it. then the harder mission was next....and i beat it on my first try.
1:09:90
i highly doubt most people will pass that mission, with a time different than that. i remember in an old expert gamer, that was the best time they could get, and when i beat it, i got that exact time, and now i beat it again...with the same time again.
uhh and the time you need to beat it 1:10:00 (minutes, seconds, milliseconds)
-
double post just cause
100% beat tomba 2, for the second time.
the last boss is easy, since you have the golden dust if you did the 100% thing, and the golden dust makes it so you don't take damage.
also, the last evil pig sounds like patton oswalt.
anyway, the game still kicks as much ass since the last time i played it, and i plan on playing it again in the future. well worth RE-buying.
-
Still on KH2...I managed to completely max out the Master Form which here is an easy way of doing it.
Jackpot for all 4 charaters.
Draw or Draw Ring on Sora.
Go to the summit part of Land of Dragons (before where you fought Riku) and attack the carts there.
Basicly with in 15-20 minutes I maxed it out.

Learned to play rock band drums last night. The foot pedal was screwing me up before, but I realize the trick is to always have the pedal down and only lift it up when the note comes. This keeps your foot from staying at that weird angle and keeps your beat funky smooth.
-
I'm actually better not doing that. I've played a good portion of the game through on medium drums, and found that I did much worse when I tried that.
-
You're going to have to learn heel-down. If you don't, you'll snap the peddle in two when you get to anything harder.
I had 100% on Last Hard Drums. Not especially a hard song or anything but seeing a 1421 combo is cool. Missed two on Heroes Expert Drum.
-
that weird angle
And anyway, you don't keep it at that angle, you hold your foot straight, above the pedal, and just move it down (I know this because that's how actual drummers drum).

I have played Rock Band a few times and after playing a few songs on easy for drums I just bumped it up to medium and had some difficulty at first but adjusted really quickly.

I play drums myself and I've seen people do it a lot of different ways... It's just more comfortable when you always keep the pedal down. IE:

===
Sorry, I just wanted to do that :)
-
Well, the way I've seen a lot of drummers play is keeping their foot above the pedal and moving their entire leg up and down, basically. It's a lot easier than moving your ankle from the weird angle to flat and back again. and holding it down requires more work, because you have to lift your foot and bring it back down.
-
You're going to have to learn heel-down. If you don't, you'll snap the peddle in two when you get to anything harder.
...or slap a decently thick piece of metal on it. :P
It is amazing how much of a difference having a good technique makes. I played on the drums quite a lot on hard and expert and the pedal never even showed a sign of wear. However, after a few of my friends played for one night on easy it started splitting on the side and top (it's not completely broken...yet...one more game session and it definitely will be). Not sure whether it was just That Time(TM) or what, but the timing seemed awfully odd.
Regardless, the design on the pedal is so poor that it makes my head hurt. If you push it from the middle it bows inward badly due to the middle section being able to travel further than the top, quickly damaging it. However, if you push it from the top it bows outward ever-so-slightly, which will no doubt lead to a snapped pedal due to the spring pushing back. The only real way to keep it in one piece (literally) is if the entire pedal move down uniformly (in other words, a piece of metal covering the pedal should work wonders).

Still playing KH2 (brother is on 360 playing Quake Wars)
ALMOST beat Sephiroth with a level 55 Sora.

Half of last life bar with a level 57 Sora

Just found out there was a ice spread shot and a flamethrower shot in metroid prime. The flamethrowers seems weak considering how strong the plasma beam is, but whatever.
Just beat megaman 2, FUCK YEAH SON.
It really wasn't as bad as most people say it is, in fact I beat it pretty easily.
-
in the lava most of the time because i couldn't get out, i decided to say fuck it, and fire as many missiles into the brain as i could because its better than futilely trying to get out of the lava.
42 health left, and i have to escape, i make it with 600something time left.
i get the ending where she takes her helmet off and looks like carrot top.
see you next mission.

Beat BioShock for my first time.

Got my first piece of gold in WoW. Yay. :)
-
lol bump with more WoW stuff.
First off, I *think* I finished all (if not, most) of the quests in Mulgore, so I ran off to the Barrens today and ended up getting meself a raptor! I named him "Rawr." ^.^
-
Got my first piece of gold in WoW. Yay. :)
lol wut? What level are you?
-
considering he said he just left mulgore. most likely 11 or 12.
-
That sounds about right. You don't get your first gold till at least then anyway. Sometimes even later.
-
lol wut? What level are you?
Currently 15, lawl. That's my third character; I raised two other ones to level 12, made all of my dumb beginner's mistakes with them, and baleeted them. I could have probably dinged 20 by now if I were awesome enough to have raised one good character, but whatever. I also have a lv.12 druid sitting there. Kind of debating whether to continue playing that toon or not since I'm really digging my hunter right now.
I also found out that staying in Mulgore so long really held me back, money-wise. Loot in the Barrens is actually worth something. <_<
-
Yeah, for your first char at that level, 15 sounds exactly right for your first gold. I got my first gold around there myself. After that you can usually manage to get them a bit earlier, but usually 15 is perfect for your first char to hit that level.
-
Technically speaking, I got my first gold at 14, but whatever. :P
I've found skinning to be fairly profitable at this point. 20 pieces of light leather isn't that hard to get (ESPECIALLY in Mulgore, considering my pet and I can kill beasts by the truckload there now) and it'll get you a cool 3 silver pieces for each bundle, even from the NPC vendors.
Making Kodo bags and selling them at the Auction House would probably be a pretty profitable venture for me now, too. Bags are pretty expensive in that game. :|
-
Sounds like a fun game as MMORPGs go...but I don't have a viable computer to play it on.
-
Yeah, bags are absolutely insane.
-
You know what else is insane? Raptors.
In the Barrens I was doing a bit of mountain climbing to get to Ratchet and I ran into a raptor. I had my track beasts skill enabled, so I could see that there were plenty in the area, so I decided to fight that one instead of taking the risk of (1) plummeting to my death or (2) running into a larger group. All of the ones in that area were pretty low-level, between lv.12 and lv.14, so it wasn't a big deal.
Well, this one raptor called for help before it fell. Two more attacked my faithful pet and I. We took those two down, only to have two more to come for help. Good times, good times. It wasn't really a difficult battle by any means, it just lead to an awesome reaction:
"Okay, no problem." *attacks lone raptor*
"Alright, let's start moving." *gets attacked by two raptors* "What the hell?" *target, set pet to attack it, walk forwards, turn around, arcane shot, scorpion sting, blat blat blat...target other raptor, rinse and repeat*
"Okayyyy..." *casts mend pet* "...now let's..." *gets attacked* "GAH"
It's funny how relatively nonthreatening some mobs are after you get a pet.
-
Well, hunters need their pets, just like warlocks need their summons. Without one it's a lot harder to do well.

and the new game I've been playing, S4 league. It's like a slower, more balanced (okay, one sword has a rather unbalanced attack) gunz without the whole glitch abusing for game depth. I'm not 100% sure how the whole point system works, but it's something like 2 or 3 points per kill and 1 point for assist. Also I unlocked a new slutty outfit for my loli.
-
I actually liked the glitch abuse part of Gunz, too bad the game basically degenerated into spray and pray people, rocket whores, and whiny noobs who accuse everyone of hacking.
-
too bad the game basically degenerated into spray and pray people, rocket whores, and whiny noobs who accuse everyone of hacking.
The spraying was the games fault. That's what happens when you make he most accurate weapon a fully automatic rifle spraying. Also rockets NEVER bothered me, unless it was someone glitch abusing and could completely spam rockets at you.
-
Well, I tend to spray a bit, but I am also a fair bit of a fan of handguns and such. It's a bit more personal.
Oh, and the people who always bitch about people spraying... That's fucking annoying.
-
Well, I tend to spray a bit, but I am also a fair bit of a fan of handguns and such.
Yeah, I remember those 2 semi auto pistols that would damn near kill with a single magazine. Really, I was into revolvers the mostly, then it was either a rifle or a shotgun.
Also yes, Gunz has THE WORST community I have ever seen. If you glitch abuse no one will complain, and if you play the game the normal way people will bitch at you and try to kick you. Really, they don't even know that "using a style" is glitch abusing. They have reached that level of mind numbing retardation.
-
Yes, I have always been in awe of how so many mentally retarded people could collect in any one community. That, and how people that retarded could actually play the game.
I liked the revolvers (well, I meant revolvers when I said pistols, lol, it's been a LONG time since I last played) best.
-
My biggest gripe about Gunz is that it felt like I was going nowhere. My friend and I played for about four hours, did well, and didn't have nearly enough cash moneys to buy, well, anything.
I don't think it should be as quick as, say, Counter-Strike, where you can get the most expensive gun in a handful of rounds, but when you play for an entire night and feel like you've accomplished nothing (being unable to even get a second stinking pistol), what's the point of continuing?
-

They added a quest mode on IJJI, I think that helped me with my money issues. Unless your talking about the lack of items in between levels and the fact that leveling takes a WHILE.
Also, derailed.

beat castle crashers. the final boss didn't want to die, he has like 6 forms, but with skill he takes none...and with mediocre playing like me, one or none should do it.
anyway, the ending was awesome.

the best tricky video ever
NSFW
though, i would find the original tricky video, i can't find it.
haven't beaten bionic commando rearmed single player yet, BUT i did manage to get to "the leader" on my first attempt of the albatross solo. guess the 2-3 hours of constant dying on doing that co-op stuck with me. still, died twice on the platform rooms because im retarded, then later on with getting stuck on the laser floor, and a last time from fighting the leader for the first time (when me and a friend beat it...i died on the crazy platform part, and he made it to the end, hence why i don't really consider me having beaten the game yet).
still find it funny that this level is about 2-3 times longer than any other level.

double post
beat bionic commando rearmed. died twice on the albatross. one retarded death on the moving platform part, the other...on groeder as i was to escape. i had one hit left and i didn't run away as he ran into me, ololol. but basically i have it down, my deaths were just stupid mistakes.
anyway, gg, and i will most likely keep playing this gem. id gladly pay $30-40.00 for this game, its that good in my opinion.
*edit*
beat it without dying

Me and a couple of admins doing pistols only. It was on a domination game type and I was using the USP. while both of them were using the degal. I must say the degal is completely overrated.

I was on a roll today in TF2 (played as Demoman). We had goodmedics and engies, which really helped.

I dropped to #3 on whichever one is Elevation. That made me pretty sad because I'm also pretty sure it's literally impossible to do that a full second faster than me.

Was playing a game of sabotage in cod4 (which is one neutral bomb and 2 bomb sites for each team). My team was losing badly, so I switch from my stealth set up to my rushing one and start bum rushing the bomb to death. I got about 3 plants (none of which were successful) , 10 TKs against me (honestly could have been more, every time I rushed in near a bomb my team would mistake me for the enemy. Oh yeah, and one time a team mate cooked a grenade too long and killed himself along with me and 2 others right near the bomb), and I was in first point wise with just under 900, second had something like 10 points away from me, and third only had 600.
We played 2 full rounds, then everyone got tired of it and map voted, which prevented me from a screen cap.
Also domination related.

hay mort, are there any particular CoD4 servers that you like to play on or do you just pick at random?
I just started playing again and, dang, it's kind of sad how badly I suck now.
-
I haven't had the game long, but I've already basicly gone threw 2 servers. I play on this one mostly, http://www.game-monitor.com/cod4_GameServer/72.233.44.146:28960/Texas_...TeamPlayers..._CoD4_Ranked_FF.html , which is sabotage, search and destroy, and domination with friendly fire and non hard core.
Generally it gets good traffic at night.

Nothing amazing, but I like how I'm damn near 200 points ahead of the second place person.
-
(http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l94/mortifiedocalot/cod4mp-20081110-225552.png)
A much more comfortable 200 point lead, plus a decent KDR. Not sure how I managed this, considering I was mostly rushing with the AK and the M16.
-
Beat Mirror's Edge with the Test of Faith achievement (in other words, without shooting anyone). It was annoying.

Well, not really an accomplishment, but this is what happens when you decide to clear out the Blood Moor and Den of Evil with /players 8 activated without leveling up.

Speaking of D2 we need to get our group game going. I'm not sure if I will ever get my UT 99 "acquiring" to finish.
Also in a game of left 4 dead we were at the part in death toll that was right before the church and the reinforced house (it's a house you have to walk threw and go into a fenced back yard) and we need to go to a small opening in the fence, and there was a witch RIGHT next to it. After the first guy makes it I have a team mate throw a pipe bomb to help the team mate past the fence with the horde (since we can't all walk past her at the same time). After the bomb went off the witch was pissed and stood up without moving, so I decided to try and run past her without pulling her which failed. So I have her chasing me head on and I unload my auto shotgun into her and one the last shell with her right next to me she drops and I get an achievement for it. It was rather intense.

I found this on my Barbarian at level 9 after it dropped from the little named mob that spawns on the stone circle that you go threw to rescue Deckard Cane. This would have done WONDERS for my Necromancer but NOOOOOOO. Also I've dumped about 8 or so points into hat punch, and I'm wondering if putting a few points into leap would harm this at all?

At level 10 with everyone I can take down Lavos' 4th attack form...which is pretty hard to do since his 4th is ungodly when you are only level 10 and don't know how to deal a lot of damage let alone can't deal a lot of damage...gonna play through now that I've gotten as far into the battle as possible for my level.

I am almost have 60% of achievements on TF2...and it hasn't been a month yet :x
-
Meh, a lot of games have really easy achievements. I already have the majority of the Left 4 dead achievements, and I have every cod4 achievement except for the ones that require C4, martyrdom, and the really bullshit ones (Surviving a whole round would require nothing but camping, and shooting an explosive through a wall and detonating said explosive so it kills an enemy requires some amazing amount of luck).
On a somewhat related note, why are the megaman 9 achievements so amazingly ball breaking hard to get? I think one was beating the game 100 times, and another was beating the game 10 times in a row (consecutive days).
-
why is megaman 9 weird because the makers wanted to go back to the megaman 1 graphics?
fixed.

HAH, well played, Mort. ;D
That's almost as bad as the old "gamma gun" thing that people did with Quake. They'd tell idiots that it were some secret cheat weapon and if the unfortunate luser typed it in they would be greeted to a completely white screen if they weren't using GLQuake(World).
<nerdy_bullshit>the reason it does that is that the "gamma" cvar is used to control the gamma correction setting. Setting it to an invalid value causes it to be set to zero. Gamma correction in Quake works in sort of the opposite of a brightness control, with lower values corresponding to a brighter scene (look up "gamma correction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction)" on Wikipedia, specifically the explanation of gamma encoding, if you want more in-depth information). Zero causes the curve to jump to the ceiling, leaving the poor bastard with a completely white scene.</nerdy_bullshit>
What's even worse about "gamma gun" is that the gamma setting is saved when you exit the client. If you con someone into trying this, they're going to have to have enough of a brain to figure out exactly what they inadvertently did.

I was running to shoot someone off of the point and apparently so was my sentry. Not sure how common this is but I had NO CLUE it was possible.
The sad thing is a spy sapped and killed it right after it killed me.

It is possible, in the case of trying to play Wack-a-Spy or an uber comes in...tis bit of a pain to get killed by your own Sentry.

Some stiff competition. I've gotten damn good with the demo's primary weapon, a lot of people ignor the fact that it explodes on impact so I catch a lot of dumb Scouts and Pyros that like to rush me head on or only put a little bit of thought into their movement.

Just be a douche like me: make a toon and specialize in both skinning and mining (or herbalism and mining). It's great at getting a lot of money for your other characters on a particular realm, not to mention seeding actual crafting professions down the line.
-
I've been playing Guilty Gear AC and it's, for the most part, the only actual fighter I've played. Recently beat the game on hard and I wish I had some competition human wise for it. That and I've seen that 2DF has support for SF third strike so I can play that multiplayer.
Also Ulti trained me well.

I won 2 games in a row, then I had the lead for like 5 minuets and I kept getting crappy spawn along with too much fighting at the major weapon/armor spawn and that asshole sneaked up and took my lead. Still one of my better KDR moments...
-
Ahahaha, I luv me sum Quake Live, but I haven't played it since the Beta, and everyone who was playing at that point was disgustingly good, so I just got my ass handed to me all the time, so I haven't played much since.
-
They input a skill level, so it gives you recommended games around your level. Sad thing is EVERYONE around my level is laughably bad. One time I JUST picked up the railgun and a guy stands still and shoots at me, another time on the Longest Yard I camped the rail gun spawn and sniped off about 7 or 8 differen't people before a guy bothered to come after me, he came gauntlet first (I think I did the same to him and beat him) and I hit him with a rail mid air and when he landed on the platform I nailed him with my Gauntlet.
I really do like the game but when I play against anyone decent it ends with me getting rocket juggled to death while they move about at the speed of light.

im not really great at multiplayer fps games, my best one is probably ut2k4, which even then, im mediocre/poor at. that said, im really happy to post this. two achievements i said to myself "fuck, im definitely not getting those" and what? first sniper achievements i get.
(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8589/snipernosniping.png)
anywho, only really played tf2 again because of the new way items are handled. no more achievement farming, which i didn't enjoy, and yes, i cheated for my medic/pyro/heavy items. now, i don't need to worry about "ok what am i supposed to do again for this achievement to get this item" while playing but rather getting shit as i play. remember not liking the heavy at all...only to be raping as heavy today. odd, but i generally play demo/spy (though, i switch to demo after realizing I SUCK AS A SPY UNLESS IM RANDOMLY GOOD), but sniper is fun, been enjoying that. may try scout some more when i get the new shotty, not too great with "HIT MULTIPLE TIMES" shit like the shotgun in quake 3 (wouldn't say flak cannon in ut, it's alt fire kind of takes away skill required to use it) im bad with. but HIT ONE OR TWO TIMES, im fine with that.
blablabla, decided to play for an hour or so today and ended up with this.
-
but i generally play demo/spy (though, i switch to demo after realizing I SUCK AS A SPY UNLESS IM RANDOMLY GOOD)
Spy is amazingly situational. I'd like to consider myself a good spy (at least decent, I haven't been playing ALL that long) and I still find myself in situations where I die instantly after placing a sapper and it gets knocked off. The thing is, you have to use the cloak constantly because the disguise only really works for sentries. Thing is, you can disguise as a spy on the enemy team and if he has a disguise of one of your teammates he shows up as a friendly spy with a faceplate on, so that seems extremely useful.
Also don't disguise as Pyros, you're just going to get one of their names and it's just going to make one of them run right towards you.
-
too lazy to go in and screen it, but i got the my brilliant career achievement(top the scoreboard 10 times with the sniper), one which would be on the impossible pile again...if it weren't for the following screenshot.
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8246/snipernosniping2.png)
ive NEVER been a good sniper, in any fps game, ever. even this one...till now. i think im a competent sniper, or even pretty good. also that was taken a little before i left the game, which i had some 320ish points. even went two games and 24 headshots with no deaths, fucking badass.
so yeah, im a sniper now.
ps: egypt has to be the best fucking map ever made
pps: HEHEHEHEHE on team red is an engineer, so his score is invalid due to that fact.
ppps: ambushing a pyro with the kukri and killing him is more of an accomplishment than sniping 5 snipers, along with their engineer, his turret, and dispenser...in a row.
pppps: getting like 8+ headshots in a row (like bam, reload, bam, reload, bam reload, ect) is fucking amazing.
ppppps: spies kill me more than enemy snipers

figure ill post this as well. since ill probably end up stop playing this game soon, frustrates the piss out of me to be frank. remove pyros from the game and i may play longer. and yes you see pyro is my fourth most played. well, the saying goes "when you can't beat em, join em"
also soldier is a shit class, and if you like him, you are a bad person, and you should feel bad.
-
also soldier is a shit class, and if you like him, you are a bad person, and you should feel bad.
I like Solider. He's slow as shit, but he covers decent ground if you know how to rocket jump, that and being able to rocket juggle is amazing. I can't reliably hit people mid air with a rocket, but almost every pyro that tries to kill me get's launched into the air with my first rocket and then dies when he lands and I hit him with my second one.
Still, a Demo that can use his primary seems all around better to me.

It's now story time again.
I just hopped onto GG reloaded after I saw a /v/ server for online play. After a few good games I could tell I was playing surprisingly well. Then after the first few hours I kept fighting this guy who kept picking Justice and would play them in a rather annoying way. Then a different fellow kept fighting me who was also fairly annoying. the first round he would taunt, slowly walk forward as I-No and constantly grab me somehow. The following round he picks Golden I-No (which means she's basically broken, and she gets fairly crazy attack buffs) and I beat him both rounds. The best part is I taunted in the middle of the first round and he wiffed 3 overdrive attacks (supers). I had a nerdgasm.

games i have 100% achievements on
mass effect
dash of destruction (really doesn't count, it's free, and anybody can get 100% achievements on this bitch in about 25 minutes)
and finally, SUPER STREET FIGHTER II TURBO HD REMIX
(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/2746/iwindotjpeg.jpg)
the second legitimate game i have got all the achievements for
easy difficulty, one round, when you get to akuma, you can die as much as needed to beat him. kind of stressful since you have to fight some 12 matches without losing, even on easy computers, random stuff can happen. when you fight bison, akuma just flat out kills him and you fight akuma instead. i ended up losing the first time since well...his fireballs are like 3 fireballs at the same time, unlike say if you picked akuma and wanted to use him, he doesn't work that way. second time was the charm though, using my trusty zangief.
blablabla about 9 months later i finally decide to get the final achievement for the game ive been playing the crap out of.
-
Alright then, at the end stretch of Brave Fencer Musashi. So far I damn near died on the first boss (you fight a lot of people on the final stretch of the game) then I went through this bullshit maze and did decent on the next boss. I'm a bit shocked that the combos are actually great for bosses, considering every boss before hand was just "wait till it's vulnerable, attack". Maybe it's just nostalgia, but the end of this game is awesome. Everything before was just too easy.
-
I finally completed the endless setlist in one sitting and so now I have all the achievements for it.
So now my completed games are:
Rock Band 2
Dash of Destruction
Pac-man Championship Edition
Omega Five
So RB2 is the only retail game I have everything for.

so i beat torchlight, and this is the corpse of the boss. a new dungeon the "shadow vault" opens up, and i belive it's the infinite dungeon people were talking about. pretty much, beat the game, and you can still level and whatnot.
this boss is fucking nasty. like summoning enough mobs at one time to LAG MY COMPUTER (A COMPUTER WHICH CAN MAX OUT CRYSIS FINE). seriously, this guy is fucking overkill and annoying.
half a katrillion hitpoints (like 10+ minutes of nonstop blasting at this guy)
fairly nasty damage, would be easy to avoid if...
he didn't summon like 30+ hard hitting big dragon mobs(the other corpses you see) CONSTANTLY (as in, they stop spawning when the boss dies), if they hit you with their fire, it's gon hurt
also, randomly he summons like 100 skeletons which apon me destroying them causes some lag.
so trying to run away from him in his maze of mobs is kind of a pain in the ass...but...but...you have to just kind of kamakazi focus damage on him, because he like randomly kills them all to heal himself or something after he takes "x" amount of damage from the looks of it(or give him power, i don't know, i was too worried about my own health over his, see my potions...i started the fight with 100 of each...after town portaling mid way to buy more)
the tldr of this fight, he summons billions of mobs, and he has so much hp even multiple hard hitting crits barely even dent his hp. hard....ehh....more like hectic and annoying as fuck.
game beaten on hard difficulty, i was level 33, and it took me 12 hours. i will probably be playing this game as the other classes later. and yeah you see, that's floor 35, the last floor.
it's a good game with some annoying boss fights near the end. though i mean, diablo 2 has baal, and depending on your character he can be a pain in the ass. also normal durial gives many players trouble(god damn frost slowdown), i still don't think they compare to the annoyingness of the torchlight bosses, even though ive died to the d2 bosses many a time, and i have ZERO deaths to any of the torchlight bosses. i have about 4 deaths due to instant kill bullshit (go through teleporter, no where to run, unique mob and a swarm of mobs are right ontop of you, GG), it's not a hard game. i would recommend starting out on hard, and then moving to very hard on the next character.
also i probably spent as much time constructing this post as it did fighting him so ill end it here, game beaten, relevant to a vidya accomplishment.

Wow, now I feel like a bitch for quitting on PE2.

some 55 hours in and i finally beat it. dragon age origins is completed. the ending was very very good(it's like what the ending of fallout 3 SHOULD have been), i am satisfied.
there were a handful of moments in the game where i just flipped the fuck out in frustration, but those moments don't hit the double digits and a switch to easy difficulty can get you through them if you don't mind swallowing your pride to do it.
that said, my character.

one of the few games where i am totally drawn into the story/world which has an actual emotional impact on me.
it's my GOTY 2009, that's for sure.

Well, I've "beaten" STALKER and Borderlands (Still want to max my Hunter and Solider, but lolcrashes).
Also this screen shot just makes me look impressive, so I must post it.

Oh yeah, and I hopped back into Guilty Gear Reloaded online and was getting wrecked at first, but then I came around and started beating most the people I fought, and then my old buddy came back online and challenged me (the guy who usually taunts and acts like a general ass). It started as a massacre (he's generally better then me, but I have beaten him a few times) and he's combo'ing the fuck out of me. At this point it's basically me with one quarter of my life left and him with a bit over four quarters, and some-fucking-how I manage to combo him with like 5 different things and I get like 2 lucky comet drops (playing as Faust) and I manage to win with like one sliver of health left. At the start of the next round he jumps back, taunts me, and rage quits.
I had the biggest grin on my face.

Hmm, is there anything special I need to do to play GGXX#R online, or is that built in? I'd like to be able to play against real people, instead of just the computer (even though I still really suck, and haven't been playing for a while now).
-
But I'm playing on normal right now, and it's quite a bit easier than hard.
Yeah, when they say that hard is for people who are used to action RPGs they aren't joking. Normal, at least up to the point that I'm at, is ridiculously easy.
-

Yeah, there seem to be quite the difference between the difficulties, which kinda annoys me. Nothing huge, but where I'm at now (not that I've played much lately :/) things are finally getting a bit harder on normal, and I can only image how they are on hard.

I'll PM it to you, also I could help you with the basics over it.

Doulbe poast, but I JUST noticed GG online has replays automatically saved. Just watched that fight between me and the guy that rage quieted, hilarious.

I beat Touhou: Perfect Cherry Blossom on lunatic mode

I hate you. I've never been able to beat lunatic mode.

well, I used some continues, if that still counts.
東方 really isn't the hardest thing in the world! It just seems like it. Really, all you have to do is watch the bullets that are heading towards you, hold shift most of the time so that you see that little white square where Reimu/Marissa/Sakuya are vulnerable, and follow the bullet patterns. Also, I found that I do 100x better when using a USB controller instead of the keyboard.
Some of the CAVE shooters are harder, especially 虫姫さま (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70iFdnI-xfA)
-
Yeah, but I'm borderline retarded at shumps. Like, I used to have trouble on the second stage of Einhander. Funny considering I can do decent at best at Metal Slug.
-
Man, that video is scary. However, I'm pretty sure some parts of perfect cherry blossom are pretty close in difficulty on lunatic.

i don't care if this is a crap score for you but this was the best game of call of duty i have played yet

kill streak went from 19 to 27
YEAH BOIIIIIII
uhh i was using scar h with acog for exp since i hate the scar. aa-12 was my main damage dealer since i was in corners and stuff most of the time, and the killstreaks are pretty much optimal. preditor missile, harrier, chopper gunner. it's technically not hard to get a lot of kills, im just not lucky and people gank me anyway.
all you need to do is get a 5 streak, find a safe camping spot, double kill with the preditor to get a harrier, the harrier will rape everything if they don't shoot it down, then 4 kills with the harrier to get the chopper gunner, which should net you a metric fuckton of kills.

Honestly not that great considering I was the only person killing for a few rounds due to me being a commando and spraying down any enemy that came to our door while my teammate welded away. I'm just upset I didn't get a picture of me while the Patriarch was dead right in front of me.

If they messed around with it and made it a bit less broken (there are inputs where you can instantly knock down someone or endlessly juggle them to death) and added MUCH better net code I'd totally play the game again. The glitches generally do add something to it (bunny hopping started as a glitch after all, and if I'm not mistaken so did combos in SF2) despite the mass amount of people all saying that they should be removed completely.
-
Yeah, IIRC bunny hopping was a glitch. There were quite a few glitches in the game, lol. But yeah, it is definitely broken.
-
Bunny hopping is hilariously common in games, it seems. It's funny how nobody seems to have learned a thing since Quake came out.

Ugh, I hate video games.

I purposely didn't wear green today so that I would get pinched. I like the attention.

Buying this game now. :x

wait till there's a sale, it should be only like 10 bucks and I'd recommend it.

Oops too late :( lol. s'okay, i like the game anyway. Add meh on shteamy? SneakyJ

Lag shields and a choke cloak baby.
Long story short, I was playing with someone who said he was the best in game, he bragged about 1 shooting me with an AWP (which is a 1 hit kill to the body) and then complained that he was the only one on his team worth a damn (he was, really) and that he had no cash.
Then when I mentioned I had 50 choke and 150-200 ping he says it doesn't matter, and even posts a quote from some text that says having around 60 choke means 40% of what you do doesn't register correctly. He then bitches at me out for not changing it via console and then continues to say it doesn't matter.
I just don't get it, people really do construct some massive mental gymnastics over some really minor bullshit.
-
Yep. The easiest way to explain it all is: People are stupid.

So after I beat Galaxy 2 last week, I realized that I'd never bothered to complete Galaxy 1. So I went back, started a new file, and just now finished getting all 120 stars.
-
How long was UR MR GAY 2 and how was it (that can go for anyone).
Alright then. So far Max Payne is a LOT of fun, kinda upset I didn't play it on release. Metro 2033 is great, guns have a great feel to them and it has great atmosphere, the stealth is a bit meh tho.
-
I didn't go for 100% completion, but it still took about 12 hours of playtime to get to the final boss fight. It's a lot of fun. It's harder than Galaxy 1, which I like, and the level design is a step forward in my opinion. Plus, the swimming controls and camera are now a lot better.
-

Damn straight.
Make sure to give the second one a whirl when you're done. The game plays out about the same, Max doesn't look constipated, the changes to bullet time kick ass, and the writing is as good as before.
I don't know wtf Rockstar is thinking with Max Payne 3. I don't think it could be any less true to the series (if the appearances mean anything, and considering Rockstar's recent hit games all pretty much play the same, color me extremely skeptical about how good MP3 is going to be). Oh well, I guess we'll see what it's like when it comes out.
-
i remember making fun of all the odd stuff max said during the game. it was so long ago i can't even give an example.
that shit is like $10.00 a pop on steam, i should totally pick those up when im in need of something to play.

Left 4 dead 2 is on for 10$ on Steam, GET IT!

-
Alright, I set out to beat Earthbound and Hitman Blood Money and now both are done. Just beat Hitman, and goddamn that was a great ending, left a lot of open ends, but still awesome. Don't want to spoil it, but the game did a decent job of tying up all the different stories while adding a small specific story for each mission.
-
Alright then, Max Payne down, metro 2033 should be next to follow. Goddamn Max Payne was fun, and the story made me actually want to play, even if it was a bit goofy.
Metro is done. It was a lot of fun, but the ending was fairly odd. Still, good game overall, linear as all hell and a bit short but good.

Carbide promotion on Alien Swarm...
Edit: Motherfucking Gallium Cross!
-
wut?
Also finally beat Gill (final boss in SF3) and it was shockingly easy. All I really did was pick Akuma and abuse his demon flip. He didn't have enough super to resurrect the first time, and the second time I hit him with Akuma's hadouken super before he had time to really heal.
-
Hit the level cap in Alien Swarm. :v

(http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/1564/marsaraachievements.jpg)
this is a goddamn achievement for me.
see those 3 scv's, yeah, yeah, that's how barely i passed the mission. that achievement is fucking insane. kind of requires you to man the fuck up and get some micro.
basically, its' a survive 20 minutes mission. the achievement is to destroy 4 hatcheries on hard difficulty. on paper, this sounds easy. but look at my forces, and look at the minimap.
but now i earned the robot terran ai lady portrait. the default portraits are boring and generic, save for the black guy who i ended up using till now, because a generic black guy > generic white guy with goatee.
GG
*edit*
it just came to my mind that that was only hard difficulty. i wonder if it's possible to do that on brutal difficulty, because i heavily doubt it.
-
HALF LIFE: OPPOSING FORCE ON HARD BEAT.
THAT shit was rough. Not that bad (I still hardly see how I'm supposed to get past that room full of skeleton enemies and has a double barreled shotgun in the center in Serious Sam) but still, I'm honestly shocked I made it this far.
Final boss was fun, but easy. the health puddle down the hall from him really helps things.
-
Yeah that bossfight is kind of a cakewalk, but the level leading up to it is brutal, which I guess kind of makes up for it.
-
Got all gold medals achieved on the challenges portion of Starcraft 2... Was fun, but pretty hard as well.
-
Just beat Max Payne 2. Fairly easy game compared to the first, not like that's really bad or anything. The slow-mo is definitely better, but it's almost over powering. Still, damn good game.
Modified, to claim my glory. I played Halo 3 last night with a few friends, and during my first game I jumped into a banshee with some random guy and got a running riot. I'm pretty sure my final score was something along the lines of 22 and 3.
Then after a long while I say we stick to headshots only MW2 and talk massive shit, and I shoot them down left and right while they say I'm spraying and praying while using riot shields (which are a 1 hit kill, thanks to the fact that they also were playing on hardcore).
-
hit the screencap button a bit late, but it still shows the portrait awarded from the achievement.
(http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/9749/insaneffa.jpg)
win an 8 player FFA with 7 insane computers. not really hard if you cheese it.
play terran on lava flow. immediately put 5 scv's in command center and float it off to one of the island expansions. the island expansions both have two expos on there. from there saturate all of your gas/minerals asap, macro as much battlecruisers as your supply cap can handle, you should have plenty of minerals, MAKE ENOUGH TURRETS TO BLOCK OUT THE SUN, not mandatory but nice to feel safe. wait till theres one ai left, steamroll his black ass with bc's, win. if you are afraid you might fuck up, attempt taking the other island, though, make turrets asap or bring your bc fleet to defend. i kind of fucked up and failed to get the second island, but it didn't matter.
all 7 computers were set to random because i didn't really see the point in setting them otherwise.
you can obviously do this on other maps with other races, but if you want the achievement without putting much effort, that's an easy way to do it.
-
That's goddamn impressive, I want to get Starcraft 2, but I'm afraid I'll just suck ass and never play online.
-
im going to take away any credit of skill used for that. i suck ass at sc2(im literally intimidated to play random people), that was probably my second ever non campaign terran game, if you follow those instructions and you know the basics of the game (hoykeys, control groups, basic ui stuff), getting that achievement under those circumstances is not difficult.
probably just going to play vs ai 1v1, and with friends until i feel i have a solid grasp of how to play a standard game. when that time comes, ill start hitting up ladder.
-
Ho damn, we should play (insert RTS here) together sometime, then. Sounds like your level of confidence with them might almost be as low as mine.

And mine (though I currently have no way to play SC2 online :<)

Installed Quake 4 (kinda leaves a bad taste in one's mouth but eh its not a bad Quake game) and played some multi and GOD DO I LOVE DEATHMATCH.
Managed to come in 3rd on a 150 frag deathmatch.
-
Heh, I was just playing Quake Live today, how alive is the Quake 4 community?

There were p much no servers the last time I tried to play it, and that was more than a year ago. I think more people play Quake 3/Quake Live.

Finally got around to clearing FEAR2.
Freaky. Ass. Shit.
Honestly, the only reason I wouldn't give it a spot in my top 10 list is, oddly enough, because of all the shooter segments. My God. I think Monolith forgot how to make shooting people fun. The sliding enemy difficulty in the original FEAR turned me off and, despite making it more subtle in FEAR2, it's still obvious that the difficulty gradually bumps itself up as you plow through the game. Let's just say, when it takes literally five headshots to kill someone or upwards of eight close range shotgun blasts to down a foe you know you're close to the end.
The scare parts were awesome, of course. I think FEAR2 is the only game that's ever made me weary about stepping into dark areas. However, by the end of the game it seems like Monolith was trying to give Serious Sam a run for its money. Shooting things just got flat-out boring. What's worse is that at the end of the game they give you a full compliment of sniper ammo and more armor than they'd ever given you throughout the rest of the game, so the entire end was just a cakewalk, which made the fighting seem all the more tedious. It's like clearing E1M1 of Doom with the BFG and IDDQD.
Thankfully, the ending more than made up for the drudge work that it took to get it. Holy fucking shit.
All in all, definitely worth the $20 it costs on Steam now (if you haven't already acquired it somehow). The shooter elements are great half-way through the game, but the horror elements are amazing throughout the entire experience.

past week or so ive been piddling around on ssfiv trial mode. this was taken for chun-li, since ive had the past three completed for a long time now. been stuck on challenge 23.
jhk, shp xx ex fireball xx level 2 focus attack DASH FORWARD (they never ever tell you this and it screws me over more often than not), back mk, mk, down up mk, ultra 1.
now i could do the first part up to the focus attack. and i could do the second part with the mk "target combo" into ultra. but i couldn't link the focus attack into back mk. this is partially what makes trial mode into TRIAL AND ERROR mode. because they tell you what needs to be done...but never fucking explain how. it's just simply, ex fireball, focus attack, back mk.
in reality, it's level 2 focus attack followed by a forward dash. but no, you just have to know that automatically. that alone, in my opinion, makes trial mode's originally intend purpose to help teach new players, into something you have to look up on youtube first to know what the fuck to do. because, i spent 40 fucking minutes doing that trial. went to youtube, and 5 tries later i finished it after getting the proper information.
as to whether i get any more of those gold medals, probably. you can see i have some 81% completion, and there's a pretty healthy roster. there's quite a few characters with like two or three challenges left (off the top of my head, dhalsim, dee jay, cammy), so i guess ill be here again when i decide to grind those out.
ANYWHO i got my chun flag, which is disappointing because the gen and bison flags look a lot better. still it's a bit weird if im rocking a gen flag and im currently playing chun.

A few weeks ago I downloaded Orbiter (http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/home.php), a freeware spaceflight simulator that goes out of its way to be as realistic as possible. Being very realistic, it's got a pretty steep learning curve, but I've been getting the hang of orbital mechanics and I've managed a few trips to the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Getting to a planet is relatively easy, since once you're close enough you can get in an orbit around them. Docking at space stations is a bit harder, since they have no gravity field. That said, I finally managed to dock at the ISS tonight.

I feel like I'm getting the hang of BC2, and I'm enjoying it. It's sort of sad how easy some guns are to use (ANY LMG, the VSS) but usually the harder to use guns seem to have a lot of advantages.
-
One thing that's kind of hilarious in BC2 is how often people underestimate the pistols. I can't tell you how many close combat fights I've won simply because I accurately placed a couple of rounds through the enemy's skull rather than spraying the room in full automatic and shredding drywall.
-
Really? I remembering seeing some stat website where the M1911 had more kills then half of the assault rifles, but yeah, pistols are great. It always pains me to watch someone who has full visibility of a wounded enemy and yet will still reload instead of switching to their pistols.
-
I really don't see that many people using them. Almost every time I've run into houses I've either had people try to spray me or knife me.
That stat could be skewed by the more level-headed players, too. If you don't have the sense to switch to your pistol in lieu of reloading, odds are you're not going to get very far in the ladder.
-
I really don't see that many people using them. Almost every time I've run into houses I've either had people try to spray me or knife me.
They're probably used to COD, were knifing was the most viable close range tactic. I love watching people go for a knife five steps away, only to have them get caught in the incredibly long knifing animation. That and pistols in COD were fairly meh.
-
Agreed on both points. I like how knifing in BF:BC2 is hella lethal but not hella over-powered like it is in CoD4 (haven't played MW2 in multiplayer, but from what I've seen of it in campaign, nothing's changed). I remember literally killing a building with a knife in CoD4 with almost no effort, then launching a ridiculously over-powered airstrike (which, to add insult to injury, rekilled some of the people that I knifed), which immediately got me a somewhat-ridiculous helicopter. CoD4 is about as well balanced as a Jenga tower on a hill that's missing most of its pieces. It's fun, though. I'd probably still play it if my save file didn't get zapped on three separate occasions. Going from level 40 to level 1 due to a corrupted save was more than enough to make me not want to play anymore.
I think the only time that I seriously used pistols (outside of situations where I ran out of ammo in my primaries) in CoD4 was when I used the last stand perk. I managed to get a quite a lot of kills until people started habitually shooting bodies to make sure that they stayed dead.
-

There's a perk that makes you run faster, there's a perk that makes you never stop sprinting, there's a perk that makes you're knife lunge larger, and there's a set up called "tactical knife" which is basically a pistol and a knife out at the same time, which cuts down the knifing animation by a bit more then half. It's really, really bad.
-
Tac Knife is absolute bullshit. It's beyond overpowered, considering how deadly the knife is normally.
Also, the pistols aren't completely trash... But then again, the balance in that game is kinda fucked anyway. I mean, why go pistols when you can just noob tube with danger close? Or better yet, get any of the other completely overpowered setups...
But even with all that, I still find the game really fun. It's kinda weird, considering usually that sort of unbalance would be more than enough to make me rage an insane amount, but the game is still really damn fun, for some reason.
-

What in the everloving fuck were they thinking? O.o That's way, waaaaaay worse than CoD4.

You'd probably like CoD4, then. It's pretty much the same thing with what sounds like considerably better balance (and considering the balance in CoD4 is pretty fucked, that's saying something).

You mean bad company 2? Also boobies, do you use PC? I think the price of BC2 is still around 30 bucks and it's my current FPS fix right now.
Oh and yeah, about that tactical knife
-
You mean bad company 2?
Nope. BF:BC2 features significantly different gameplay just due to its setting. Some people like the tighter levels that CoD4 has. I figured if he liked MW2, odds are he'd like MW1 a hell of a lot more.
Oh and yeah, about that tactical knife
Wow, fuck that shit.
If I needed another reason not to buy MW2 for multiplayer, that video would be it. I mean, I know that not all players are going to be that good, but...shit. The fact that he can run THAT BLOODY FAST and stab that quickly is just ludicrous.

Nope. BF:BC2 features significantly different gameplay just due to its setting. Some people like the tighter levels that CoD4 has. I figured if he liked MW2, odds are he'd like MW1 a hell of a lot more.
Wow, fuck that shit.

I had played a couple games in MW1 before I got into playing MW2, but not as many people had it, so I never really got a chance to play all that much. I did enjoy what I played, but I played nowhere near enough to get a feeling for balance. Plus, it was all just split screen play with friends.
I might enjoy BF:BC as well, because I loved the original battlefield games (1942 and Vietnam), but it has significantly different gameplay.
And yeah, that's probably the most broken setup in all of MW2, IMO. Sure, there are others that are pretty bad, but if you have enough skill, there's basically no way people can stop you from steamrolling the other team.
-
The most broken part of MW1, IMO, are the kill streak rewards. I have a real problem with games that greatly reward winners. If one team gets enough airstrikes and helicopters it's very difficult to bridge that gap. After you get the first reward there's a certain momentum: if you get a UAV you can get surprise kills much easier; if you get an airstrike, you're almost guaranteed a helicopter; if you get a helicopter and the other team doesn't happen to have someone with an RPG, you've got several more free kills). I think MW1 would be just about perfect if the knife were toned down and the kill streak system weren't as ridiculous. I can see the UAV, but the airstrike in particular is bullshit. I've literally gotten killed a fraction of a second after spawning. Not cool.
If you do like the Battlefield games, you'd probably love BF:BC2. The maps are very open compared to that of MW1/MW2. If you play your cards right, you can sneak just about anywhere. I was playing as a recon class with someone I know and we would regularly sneak behind the main enemy base and snipe them. Very fun. There aren't many games that reward you for being keenly aware of your surroundings.
-
Not to mention a handful of guns in MW are actually used (the AK, the three round burst rifle, or that one smg ALL with stopping power). I was never really bothered with the copter, considering the air strike was much worse in objective games (at round start, people would use it where most people would rush out) and choppers could easily be dropped with LMG or stationary gun fire (I once took one down before it got a single kill with a stationary gun, they tare through them).
-
Yeah, the copter isn't bad if the conditions are right, but if there aren't any stationary guns or RPGs it can be a bit ugh. The LMG works fairly well as long as the gunner doesn't get raped.
Most games are kind of like that with the weapons, where only a few of them are useful. In a way it's almost good when games limit the number of weapons. I used to play Action Quake 2 all the time back in the glorious days of middle/high school and it only had about 7-8 guns, all of which are useful and often used. It seems like most games now have about 3-4 different types of guns and 5-6 guns in each class with only one gun from each type being any good.
-
Just curious about how often the Vector gets used. For some reason I seem to be way more capable using Vector + Rapid fire and a PP2000 as my secondary, with Slight of Hand, Stopping Power, and something else (I forget which one I usually used there). With that If I managed to keep my aim on you for more than about a frame, you were likely dead, lol. And I wasn't even abusing one of the ridiculous BS setups either :P
But yeah, the battlefield games are a completely different breed of FPS.

Played some Day of Defeat gun game and I thought I did rather well. I got stomped almost every game, so it felt good. Game is hard as steel, might continue playing it because BC2 is making me rage hard.

I got high and beat portal for the first time. I think I put the game down for some other interest, but never finished the game after the last 'real' test. Took me a little under 2 hours to get from the end of that segment to the very end. I'm pleased, and enjoyed the last part of the game. It didn't really let up in difficulty but only got trickier all the way to the boss fight, which was as good as you could probably hope for in a game where you shoot holes in walls with lazers.

That's impressive, from what I've seen that game can be a real dick puncher.

Not much of an accomplishment, but I found it funny. We get to the end and have to fight the two tanks at once, which splits my team up badly (we were going to use the MG to mess them up, but it overheated) so we're all over the place. I set one on fire, and hit him with my shotgun A LOT. The other one was set on fire a while later and was still at decent health. At this point I go downstairs so I can run. It's me and one other teammate fighting this tank while the other two are either dead or downed. I'm nailing him with my shotgun when he finally gets me, hits me to a wall, and then downs me. I fire my deagle into his back and my teammate (sinh) shoots him dead. He revives me, and the boat arrives. He runs as soon as I'm revived to the boat, I heal, look back, see another tank and finish healing and start to chase him. I'm running faster than him and I pass him right when I get to the dock. I get to the boat and I turn around, as soon as I do I see a tank's rock nail my teammate in the back of the head and he goes down. It was nuts.
-
Yikes. You know, it's a shame that the good video game moments never happen when you have Fraps recording. That would have been epic to see.
Regarding VVVVVV, the only shiny that I had a hard time with was the one that requires you to fall up several screens, flip, then fall down for several screens, while maneuvering through spikes. The controls are extremely tight, so it's easy to overcompensate (then again, the tightness of the controls means that you have nothing to blame but yourself for failures). Some of the other shinies were tricky, others took some practice to get the timing down on some of the moves, but that was the only one that I found to be really difficult.
All in all, it's an unbelievably fun game. I love it.

This impressed me, as it was the first time I had gone positive in and I was playing a class I usually suck with (assault). Their team had a LOT of fairly bad ninjas running around and doing nothing (I saw a sniper freeze and grab kill like 3 in a row) so that helped.

Not even good really, but I was playing against good players and I was on a map I never do good at. I FINALLY caught a heli that was hovering in the air with an AT4 rocket. I then shot someone I loosely know in the head while he was in a heli with a sniper (he was on the ground about to take off because he landed somewhat near me for some reason). Made me feel amazing because I headshotted the same guy from a mile away with my UMP and he called me an aim botter.

Got this by running and gunning with the M14 acoged. I wish I had it recorded because it was fairly awesome in motion.
Shit, had a fairly awesome monday night combat screen shot, but steam didn't take it. I was 5 and 1, and my entire team was fairly far in the negative with the enmy team being fairly far in the positive, and we still won somehow.

not bad engineer score, I've been having a terrible time even going positive in this game so I really liked this. Really, I spent weeks going negative or struggling to go 1/1, and it felt good.

This was good. I find that any class with a dash/tackle is awesome. It's really easy to escape or pick fleeing enemies off or ring out. Plus, I'm really starting to use the stage hazards (basically you spend 50 bucks and it sends of a wave that knocks back and hurts anyone near it) and they worth great for getting easy ring out kills.
Still want that melee kill achievement. Shit mocks me.
-
I stopped Gill's super crazy hard hitting super attack that does half health damage if it hits and quarter health damage if it's blocked with Ibuki's throwing knife, a rather weak air to ground attack.
Afterwards I laughed so hard I lost the match, but still.
-
Beat VVVVVV in 35:14 with 181 deaths. I'm starting to get used to the Gravitron, which kinda scares me.
Compared to my last run, that's a ~24 minute and ~130 death improvement, though I did stop to get some trinkets last time. The only one that I got this time around was the one that you have to get near the end.
I really wish that the game weren't written in Flash. At least 10 of those deaths were due to random slowdowns because of the ending being far more complex, graphically, than the beginning segments. Playing it on my desktop would work, except that I'm using a G15. Rubber dome keyboards are shockingly bad for games. The G15 is the best one I've used, but it's still mushy...kinda comes with the territory, I guess. I really wish my dad wouldn't have thrown my Model M away (still wondering why, exactly...if I keyboard weighs more than the tray, can easily survive getting thrown onto concrete, and outlived the computer that it came with without losing any responsiveness whatsoever, it's not something that should be casually thrown out!).

This is alright I guess. I was playing against someone who said CS was just waiting for someones head to pop up and shooting them, so I had to beat him and trash talk.
Also I haven't played VVVVVV enough, but the game does seem like a good balance of challenge and fun. I'm just pissed Machinirum has this graphical glitch still.

I used to do rather good, but I've been bouncing around the chart and getting that many kills + the 3 air shots made me feel good.
-
Nice. I'm still hoping to get a chance to try tribes ascend sometime... Is there any decent matchmaking in the game?
-
I'll try to get a beta key when I can, and yeah so far they have match making set up by regions and most of my games have been decently lag free (not connected to a server good, but still damn good for P2P, or what I'm assuming is P2P).
-
I had a really good set of matches in BF3 earlier, culminating in a 17-5 match as assault on Operation M
-
Nice, what game mode was that anyways? I'm, unsure if I want to deal with the BF3 PC problems, maybe later. Can't run it now anyways due to lolXP.
Still, I'm really digging Tribes Ascend, did a few cool things recently. Went my first game without dying, just went defensive and everything seemed to line up decently well.

also got third on my team with no kills, me and the guy in second captured the flag one after the other two times, then someone random captured it shortly later. Easily my fastest game.

Also this is really old, but the kid I was playing against always shit talks about css, claiming to be the best at it, then this game happened and he randomly left and claimed it never happened. I cannot stand the guy, so it warms my heart that I beat him on a server his side.

It was Conquest. We started as US and managed to take bravo (which is in the middle of the map) before Russia even took alpha. On top of me playing awesomely for once (8)) I had a solid team.
And yeah, I'm using the Xbox 360 version. Peer pressure is a bitch (though, considering how lousy BF3 and MW3 both are for PC, it's probably for the best).

As a computer gamer primarily, that kind of shit makes me angry. I'm sick o PC ports being garbage compared to console :/
-
It's not so much that the PC ports are garbage (MW2/3 didn't ship with a server browser while BF3 doesn't let you do dedicated servers, I think), the problem is that the netcode is less secure than Quake's.
Seriously, people basically owned the shit out of those games before they even came out. MW3's netcode is just sickening, because some of the same exploits that were possible with MW1 were possible with MW3. Infinity Ward has no fucking clue what they're doing when it comes to writing netcode. Rule number the first: never ever ever EVER trust the goddamn client. Rule number two: a few sanity checks go a long way in making sure that people don't go from the max rank to rank 1 merely by joining a server. Rule three: if you're not going to support mods, why the hell is it possible to trick the client into wiping stats? One would think that both sides would know the rules of the game.
The worst part is that this is basic crap. You don't even have to be a programmer to realize some of this stuff, you just have to have a little bit of common sense.
And, the absolute pits is the fact that these same exploits work with consoles, you just don't see them as much because that isn't as much of a consequence-free environment as the PC, and because performing the exploit tends to be a bit more complicated. I have seen aimbotters and glitchers in BF3 for Xbox 360. One time a squad of myself and three friends were moving down a road in a spread formation and within a second -- not exaggerating in the slightest, mind you -- a single person killed all four of us with perfectly placed headshots. Either he's the luckiest son of a bitch or the lamest piece of shit on Xbox Live. Take your pick.
-
How bad is PC BF3? My only real complaint is forced Origin and the fact that EA is a kinda shitty company.
-
Origin is in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions as well. One nifty feature that it does allow you to use is the Battlelog, which is essentially DICE's version of Facebook.
That sounds hilarious, but it's kind of nice to be able to watch your squad progress.

Yeah, I'm not surprised that the netcode is complete garbage. I kinda had a feeling that they had no idea what they're doing. It feels like they actually used netcode for the splitscreen. I've had times where my screen clearly showed me firing multiple times before getting killed, but the killcam and the other player never saw the shots.
-
Wow, that's pitiful. I love how games from the mid-90s are proving to me more secure and reliable.
-
BC2 had some pretty terrible net code (you could easily run behind a building by like 4 or 5 steps then drop dead by someone on the other side) bums me out they never unfucked that.
My biggest fear is that CS GO will have shitty net code (L4D2s is pretty bad honestly), CS:S netcode was already bad enough, I really don't have the patience to play a game of CS with worse netcode then that.
-
I actually didn't have much of a problem with the PC version of BC2 and CoD4, and my experiences with CS:S have been positive as well. I haven't had a problem with L4D1, either (haven't played L4D2 for PC; I played through it on the 360 and was far from impressed. Killing Floor beats the shit out of both L4D games, IMO).
So...I dunno. :x
-
The hitboxes for COD4 on PC were alright, minus the knifes for some odd reason. As for BC2, I think the bullet pysics are what makes it a bit harder to have competent hit detection. I can remember hitting people in the head with the slug shotgun, seeing blood and hearing the helmet dink (god that sound was satisfying) and they would continue to fight. That and the dozens of times I've ran behind cover only to die to the same enemy shooting at me got annoying. CS:S really depends on your server rate and server choke. I've landed plenty of headshots only to walk away with the enemy completely unwounded. Also don't make me describe knife fights, those almost seem like complete luck in source engine. I rage so hard hearing people say shit like "lag has no impact on knife fights" or that when a server has high choke that I should get a better connection (it makes me die slightly every time I hear that). Also pics, to prove I'm not crazy or a whiny person.

-
Unfortunately, to reduce the amount of data that has to go over the pipe, bullet effects are rendered on the client side. You don't have a choice but to lead the target.
That's one of the reasons that Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament feel so much better -- they don't fool you into thinking that you've hit someone. When you see a railgun or pulse rifle bolt, you're seeing where the server knows that it is, not where your client thinks that it is.
Another issue with a lot of games -- especially the Battlefield games -- is that the game fools you into thinking that you're not lagging out. If you have a sustained lag spike, you can still run around and shoot. You can walk up to someone, unload an M418 belt into their head, then die and see them at 100% health, simply because the game made you think that it was still working fine. I'd rather see visual effects of lag than to have crap like that happen.
Seriously, I think that's one of the biggest fails when it comes to multiplayer shooters nowadays. It's strange how far we've come technologically while netcode seemed to peak in 1999 and then steadily start getting worse (notable exception is the Unreal Tournament series. UT3 was far being worthy of its title but it at least played very smoothly online).
-
Yeah, you're completely right, developers now a days realize that making a game seem lagless is more important then actually making a game lagless. It's sad really realizing how many people fall for this.
Also rifeling through some steam friends pictures has made me e-peen seem small. Watching people go 90 and 10 in TF2, 48 and 6 in MW3, and like 135 and 25 make me feel like I'm halfway retarded. Gotta up my game in Tribes, SF, and CS.
-
Some people are excessively beastly, though. I can't help but wonder how many pros jump on pubs just to keep the self-proclaimed experts humble.
-
Yeah, I definitely know the pubstar mentality. I'm a bit of one. Suppose I don't feel too bad about that MW3 one, what with the killstreaks and the fact that even I went positive my first game. but whatever, I'm starting to feel a bit better now since I've been able to break through a bit in Tribes.

Felt good about that Tank kill, I just lobed some spinfusor rounds at it from half the map away and managed to hit it twice and blow it up.
Really digging the game and loving how cheap they made all the classes, just gotta save up a lot to get all the guns, and the upgrades seem a little hard to find and manage now.

assault still seems overpowered. Also I hate my team. Almost only had 1 death, but I got snuck up on about 35 seconds before the round ended. Oh, and this was my first time as assault, the lobby timer ran out and forced me to play as him.

I normally play on Expert or Master, but my Internet connection was being exceptionally problematic tonight. It's been windy here all day and it's losing packets like crazy (it apparently went down for a while earlier, which is actually kind of unusual for my ISP).
I've pretty much found myself sticking with either the wizard or the barbarian lately. I leveled two distinct wizards during this season (SC (https://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Spectere-1344/hero/81384902) and HC (https://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Spectere-1344/hero/86307282)) and a barb during S7 (I pretty much skipped S8). I miiiiiight level a witch doctor in S10...not entirely sure yet.

I discovered all of the towers in Breath of the Wild without upgrading my heart containers:

I also discovered some 843349819196411904[/tweet]]WIKKED SPEED STRATZ (http://[tweet), which I naturally used for cheesing the fuck out of the Akkala Tower (note that the purple gunk is supposed to block you). I was able to take the tower without killing anyone. I suspect this bug will be exploited in 100% runs of the game, at least initially, since it saves a bunch of fighting.
The Central Hyrule tower wasn't the hardest one, surprisingly, though it did require going a bit out of the way to capture. I climbed on the large hill nearest to the tower and glided onto one of the little spire things surrounding it. That gave me a chance to regenerate my stamina. I then glided to the side of the tower. The guardians spotted me, but I had juuuuust enough time to jump my way from ledge to ledge, which provides sufficient cover, then up to the top.
I cheesed Hebra pretty badly, too. I didn't have any high level cold resist, so I had to take damage. Fortunately, I have a Smash Bros Link amiibo (aka the "Link Pissing Out His Ass" amiibo) so I used that to get Epona and booked it through the mountains, gobbling down food to compensate for the heart damage. I also didn't have any fire arrows to take care of the icy structures at the base of the tower. You're not supposed to be able to jump or glide over them, but there is one part where I was able to find just enough footing on one of the blocks to pull off a frame-accurate second jump, vault over the blockade, and scale the tower.
The Wasteland tower gets a big entry in my Wall of Shame. They have a very cheap anti-cheese mechanic around the tower that causes a strong headwind to start blowing only when you start gliding towards it. The only way to actually get to that tower is to do a physics puzzle that is somehow worse than any of the ones from Half-Life 2.
It was a fun little challenge, and having all of those extra fast travel points will definitely be helpful for when I start, y'know, actually playing the game.
