/v/ - Video Game BOXES

What the fuck games even have an SKS? It was only in service for like, a year.

>>14160058

I remember when this rifle used to be a cheap buy until King Nigger did that ban on Russian imported weaponry.

>>14160058

Not that I suck with them, but pretty much all SMG's in all video games. What's the point unless the game makes you walk slower with a rifle than an SMG (which is fucking stupid).

>Weapons that you just suck with

Don't know about you but I always carry my Glock 42 when I'm about to succ.

>>14160077

I know some STALKER mods have the SKS. I think I saw it in a PUBG video as well.

>>14160077

/k/ here

basically the SKS was supposed to replace mosins and SVTs from WW2 as the new rifle. And the AK was supposed to replace the various SMGs. Well quickly the soviets, like the germans did, figured out assault rifles were now king. So they produced a FUCKLOAD of SKSs and then replaced them all with AK-47s (then once they figured out stamping AKMs)

These huge stocks of SKSs were handed out to commie nations like vietnam, best korea, etc.

>>14160147

JUST FUCKING SHOOT ALREADY

>>14160093

My problem is with games that use a fucking .png for zooming in. For some reason that just fucks up my shooting. I need my peripheral view even if it's barely anything.

Functioning Scopes > Camera Modifier with Scope.png thrown over it.

Very few.

>>14160320

The scattergun acts almost identically to the normal shotgun.

>>14160447

Pretty sure it has a tighter spread at range.

>>14160147

It was by far the best weapon on Firearms: Source, you'd have to suck shit to not be good with it.

Any machine pistols.

In general, in games, I hate using sniper rifles. Even when I am GOOD with them I don't enjoy using them, so I don't know if that counts. Normally, yeah, I suck with them. But occasionally I'm great with them but I don't like using them because most snipers aren't team players and tend to be lone wolf assholes who only care about KDR than helping the team. (R6S is the exception to this)

>>14160147

Used to own a Norico and loading isn't always that easy. However, this did give me a bit of a chub. That /k/ommando life, son.

>>14161692

the famas was a cringy gun on CSS

>>14161747

>Call of Duty 2

>The game that introduced regenerating health and shitty tiny killbox maps

Shit choice of game. Also rifles only was better in 1.

>>14161752

This

Only good CoD was original one

>>14161760

And United Offensive but that's an expansion strictly speaking. Apparently 3 was actually somewhat of a return to form even bringing back vehicles in multiplayer but it was console only.

>>14161767

Oh yeah youre right. Yeah UO was great. The tanks were fun to steal lol

>>14161747

I will say for 2 it did add shotguns finally though you could sort of have them in 1 with mods.

>>14160435

That list is missing Escape From Tarkov

>>14161826

Rising Storm 2 as well.

In every single shooter I suck shit with spray n pray weapons because I have nerve damage and can't keep a consistent aim. But semi auto guns such as the SKS are given low rate of fires and I can just swoop over people shooting at them when fitting.

>>14161928

I play Insurgency mainly and I can't say I know your pain. After you shoot you can delay bolt action for however long you want by keeping pressing the fire button, and it doesn't takes you out of the scope for the action, and it's almost always an instakill unless you only manage to get a graze on the fingers or something. But in that game you don't aim for headshots, unless the head is the only part that's sticking out. Mainly because the typical engagement distance is way too high for making headshots, or it lasts too little to aim for the head carefully. Also the game has this aim box mechanics that denies noscoping, since the gun may be pointed to any direction within a significantly sized box around the center of the screen. And even if you aim down the sights, there is parallax error and shit, so the bullets don't necessarily go to the center of the screen either. Which is to say, you need to actually aim, which precludes your typical counter-strike techniques.

>>14163652

>Which is to say, you need to actually aim

Nope because the gun is always stuck in the middle of the screen when aiming.

Rising Storm is the only shooter in history where I actually found myself staring at the sights, because the gun would veer off the middle of the screen so you had no choice but to actually use the sights instead of using muscle memory.

Which is a shame because that game is terrible, but innovative.

>>14163664

As long as you keep your sights stable, it's more or less where the reticle is. If you start moving the aim, it goes all over the place. You'd notice you can't hit a moving target even though it's directly under your reticle, because your bullets fly ahead or behind it.

>>14163677

Planted explosives are a defense device

You wait for the team to advance, then you put some on the chokepoints where you expect the enemies are going to push through.

>>14163687

>You'd notice you can't hit a moving target even though it's directly under your reticle

That's because the animation of gun shake is tied to frame rate, while the direction the gun is actually pointing at isn't.

>>14163699

I know how to use them, I just suck at it.

>>14161752

It was pretty good, especially if you played Search & Destroy. The only problem I had with it was that there were grenades everywhere.

>>14163782

They're very situational and you need a particular playstyle for them to work. It has to suit you. Most people who use them are campers/snipers. As a rusher they don't work, except in chaotic situations.

I like to use them whenever the enemy is getting to aggressive. Even if they only occasionally work, the fear of traps slows them down and screws with their focus, making them easier to shoot.

>>14163677

The way to use them is to use smoke grenades to get past the initial MG lockdown, then use an SMG to shoot your way towards one of the main "repawn corridors" the enemy uses. Then sneeki breeki away again and blow them up as soon as you see the first enemy walk around inside the explosion radius.

>>14160354

It's either a .png or everything around the scope is blurred as hell. I hate that.

>>14164191

The grenade spam was one of the worst things in the first Modern Warfare.

Every hitscan weapon in Goldsrc games like Half Life Deathmatch and TFC. You don't get much feedback when you hit someone and it completely fucks me up, I can never tell when my shots are landing and when they aren't. It gives me a strange impotent feeling, like pissing into the wind, desperately shooting at someone for half a minute and praying for them to just fucking die already. I also swear the hit detection is a lot pickier than other games. Give me a sniper rifle in Unreal Tournament and I'll noscope people in the head all day, but then in Goldsrc games I'm a fucking stormtrooper against people less than 5 feet away.

Sniper rifles always feel terrible in every game I play and other weapon types are almost always more convenient to use

I don't get sniperfags.

oh and the C4 in Killing Floor 2, what is even the point of it when all other weapons are better and have way more ammo

>>14164691

It could be worse: the weapons tied to the medic class.

>>14161747

>so "quickscoping" was kinda my thing back in the day and a really good long distance shooting weapon too

>is a cod player

Like pottery.

>>14161747

I remember all the MLG parody montages that came from that game. If I didn't know any better I'd say CoD 2 was the origin of cancerous montages Thankfully I know better and know that it actually stemmed from Quake and Counter-Strike at around the same time as each other

>>14160322

Bill Clinton banned imports from China. Obama banned most Russian imports, but Molots weren't banned until just last year.

I hate long-range weapons because I can't snipe for shit.

Alternatively, I fucking love shotguns, swords, and other short-range insta-kill weapons a lot. For years now, I made many bitches audibly rage aloud into their headsets in frustration. No joke.

I don't even purposely try to ruin their days, but it's just too fucking funny everytime I come across a player who takes winning/losing way too seriously.

>>14164191

But you could do the same thing in 1 and it worked better.

>>14161737

>a cringy gun on

>cringy

wtf does that even mean?

Call me a casual but machine guns are my shit.

>>14173816

More dakka, nigga

>>14164718

The medic weapons aren't a matter of being good or not with them, they just plain suck.

>>14160077

the SKS type rifles were in use in other countries for a while though. i think china used them at least into the 80's and i know for a fact they used them in their "victory" in the sino-vietnamese conflict. I'm also pretty sure the soviets held the SKS in reserve until the 70's and by now i think exists as a ceremonial rifle. poorer African and SEA countries might use them in limited numbers right now but who really cares what they do.

i know that rising storm 2 has the SKS, Squad, 7.62

Every weapon in this game, I don't know how they managed to fuck them all up so badly.

>>14174229

git gud:^)

>>14174229

valve fucked too much with the cone of fires, made all the rifles suck, and the orange box update made things worse.

>>14174245

I managed to figure out the MP40 so far, but compared to the classic DoD they all feel so strange.

>>14160093

A lot of games have scopes which are just not necessary and the magnification is way off. For example a 4x scope feels more like a 1.5x scope.

>>14174692

Honestly don't think it would make any difference for me. I don't know of a single game where I've wanted to use any form of sight other than hipfire/iron sights.

I'm terrible with any kind of gun that has a high rate of fire, almost as a matter of principal. There is almost never a situation where a tradeoff between better accuracy and moar dakka is sensible. Ammo isn't infinite. If there's a large collection of tightly-packed enemies so that, if you had a gun spraying bullets everywhere made it so you really couldn't miss, that's what EXPLOSIVES are for.

>>14178239

You sound like the kind of player who hates bullet sponge enemies/DPS races.

>>14178239

>LMG is the borderline OP weapon stated by the fanbase

>I can't even kill a sickly deer with it

Fucking planetside 2 LMGs, i cannot use them to save my fucking soul. And yet every time a heavy comes rolling in I get my shit pushed in by them. I just don't get them.

>>14178345

I do. I once played an FPS game where a powerful enemy charged at me down a hallway; he was just a big human with no helmet on. I lined up my gun, and put a bullet right between his eyes. There was a nice decorative splash of blood, but he didn't die. Two more shots to the face, and he still didn't fucking die.

Basically just dropped the game immediately. Pulls me completely out of my suspension of disbelief where there's shit like that.
