Re: Realistic is not fun. Hell, realistic is not H

In Response To: Re: Realistic is not fun. Hell, realistic is not H (Ross Mills)


: Usually, one-hit kills give you prior warning to when they will fire, such as
: a charge-up sound or seeing them in effect on someone else beforehand.

You ever run headlong into the Zealot Elite that's around the corner in Silent Cartographer the first time you played? Or any of those ambushing situations?

: In this game, you have to go forward and die, then respawn and look for where
: you were shot from. Or simply memorise their placement, which I also think
: is incredibly awkward and reminds me greatly of the insta-death traps in
: Tomb Raider. ^_^

I'm afraid I just don't see the merits in your complaint. Playing such games as Megaman or such has taught me how games are full of patterns. You may consciencely be aware of them, you may not. And quite frankly after the first run through you will always have a sense of expectancy. No matter what enemy you're up against. You're aware when you'll be attacked by Flood in 343GS. You're aware where two Hunters should come crashing in at New Mombasa. And so on, and so on.

: I must admit, as Louis said, however, that the addition of the bright
: targetter, plus the slower shooting time is better. I'm still not complete
: happy, I would personally think that it would be best if all of the Jackal
: snipers had Carbines, but now it's less bad than it was.

Meh. Can't please everyone. The fact that I no longer feel the need to throw the console out the window because of them is enough for me.
