Re: My H4 review - Campaign (Gameplay and Story)

In Response To: Re: My H4 review - Campaign (Gameplay and Story) (scarab)


: I never noticed it. I'm not sure if I ever did a complete playthrough with
: the updated graphics. I prefer the original graphics.

I eventually decided to stick to the updated graphics despite their considerable gameplay drawbacks, so things would feel more separate from H1. I wanted to keep my image of H1 separate from the various changes and defects you experience in CEA's classic mode, such as changed weapon sounds.

: Did it happen in both graphics modes?

I can't remember for sure, but I think so and would also expect so.

: I hate dying because some developer wanted to impress me with his nifty
: boarding animations. This was one instance were I would even prefer that
: the NPCs teleport directly into the vehicle. Yes it's unrealistic but it's
: less frustrating than multiple death/respawn cycles.

Agreed. I almost said as much in my earlier post. In H1 there's sometimes a bit of short-range teleporting when a Marine has trouble getting to the ideal boarding place, and he'll partly go through the vehicle, but I certainly prefer that to having him dawdling badly and seeming like a right idiot.

: There are many aspects of campaign vehicle use that I consider are broken in
: that they severely impact/degrade the fun you have whilst playing the
: game. Some are so bad that they are worse than not fun. They are anti-fun?
: un-fun? painful? If we used integers to measure their fun magnitude then
: we would have to use -ve numbers instead of just small integers You know
: what i mean :-)

Well, I dunno. If you shrank some of the small positive integers (like, in an oven or something, or maybe it can be done with starch), maybe they'd get tiny enough to do the job? I look forward to your forthcoming treatise on the numerical measurement of fun!

: I was going to present a list of vehicle related broken things here but I am
: going to do this in a separate post as I think they are important enough
: to highlight in their own thread.

Oh, I'll look forward to that too then.
