I'm so sick of this jewish game design. Every game is just a bad clone of gears of war and does everything that gears did right wrong.
Gears of War was mainly for multiplayer and the chest high cover system was designed so players could quick peek from a third person perspective. This led to fast paced gameplay and maneuvering and lots and lots of 1 hit deaths as in "You play you pay"
Every other game is just "Yea hide here and kill these badguys that have shit tier AI, can't shoot straight, can't hold an angle, can't maneuver, and can't do anything to flush you out besides throw a grenade or some shit projectile that might not even hurt you. or just get up and wallbounce to cover. Rinse Repeat.
It's almost like the people who make games don't know how to play them.

Superbunnycuck actually did a video a while back where he played the last of us, tomb raider, gears of war, the division and a bunch of other "narrative shooters" and the controls were fucking identical. Even beat for beat the gameplay was the same down to the forced slowwalk to mask loading.
Tomb Raider was worse, the devs got buttmad because it was used at a pre marxist takerover GDC talk about 'visuals to excuse piss poor gameplay' where lara is meant to be climbing a sheer ice cliff as a storm causes shit to fall. Then he showed the hand doing nothing but moving the stick up….left…right….right…up…right…left and it was the exact same sequence as level one of fucking frogger. The gameplay experience was the fucking same.

The thing is though gears of war was actually a beautiful accident. Gears 1 was good campaign was shit but the online was insanely good when your only other choice at the time was halo 3. The game was designed around the philosophy of "Slow cover based shooter" but the reality of the online mode was "Run at light speed and blast people to pieces, abuse weapon slide and curbstomp slides, abuse active reload, etc." There was a real beauty to the way the online mode worked then they ruined it(because the people who make gears of war don't even understand the game they made) so Gears 2 came out and they slowed the pace to a crawl and it indeed became the "cover based 3rd person shooter" they desired but the game was terrible and DOA.
I think they kept trying and trying to recreate the same GOW1 experience over and over and they kept failing.
GOW1 is like Melee in that on the surface level it looks like "an insanely basic 3rd person shooter" just like melee looks like "an insanely basic 2d fighter" but the mechanics and depth come down to split second tech maneuvers and reads. The other games and even games in the gears of war franchise fail to ape what made the game good.
The whole formula is broken without the speed and maneuvering options that gears 1 had. Cover exists only for hiding, creating a trap, or using it to move faster. There should never ever be a scenario in which 2 players are both behind cover exchanging rifle fire with each other(which is what the game devs want us to do) which is why we have all these absolutely terrible 3rd person shooting games like Nu-Raider, Drake, TLOU, and even rockstar games are doing it now with all their new titles. "Just hide behind this wall or that wall or this wall and shoot the dumbfuck AI that can't stop funneling into your crosshairs" braindead gameplay.
The cover mechanic shouldn't be the meat and potatoes of the game it should just be a means to momentarily cover your body so you can anticipate your next actually dangerous maneuvers outside of the cover system(Gears of war 1 is punishing to turtles because long range combat is pointless unless you are using a sniper rifle)

There is a key difference with Gears people don't often focus on: Its actually an interesting setting. Sera was not fantasy earth it was its own history, ecosystem, issues and mysteries. The world felt alien and made you want to explore.
These games dont get that and want you to the exact opposite and stick behind cover. In gears you are weaving between cover, always pushing forwards. Shockingly they didn't understand that at fucking all.

The Uncharted games multiplayer mode was a similar deal, the devs wanted you to stick in cover and shoot, but it ended up with everyone trying to either iron fist cheese by hitting you with one blindfire pistol shot and then meleeing you, you constantly getting blown out of cover with grenades, fished into places for an instant melee kill, etc.. It was a really unique and fun, fast paced experience, especially Uncharted 2, before they fucked the weapon and perk balance, and made you able to throw back grenades. Uncharted 2 was also heavy on pick up power weapons similarly to gears, and the cover system was only really used to move quickly, or to fuck you over because who the fuck binds the dodge button to the same button as the cover button.

I would say that Gears 1's multiplayer was also about trying to flank people and stay hidden. You use cover so that they can't see you and maneuver around until you have them exposed. Even if you have to be out in the open to take the shot, people using controllers are really bad at reacting to someone attacking from the side or behind so your ability to outmaneuver people was the main skill being tested. It got shit on for not really testing your reflexes or precision, but I think there is a place for games like it. It didn't really need to be a shooter though, at least not one with free aim.

>>15452093
>controllers are really bad at reacting to someone attacking from the side or behind so your ability to outmaneuver people was the main skill being tested
Whilst all of this is true people who were actually good at the game use wallbounce to shoot flankers. If you even watch the shitty footage I posted you use wallbounce and rolls to effectively "turn" on someone who's already firing on you just like you would in a traditional FPS game.
Wallbouncing into cover and quickpeeking over it and killing the guy on the other side is a common thing seen in gears and these kinds of fights are heavily reflex intensive. When you get a bunch of people who are actually good at the game it looks alot different than some guy fragging a bunch of scrubs.
The game wasn't designed for turn speed so we used the movement mechanics to get around that because usually in gears of war you always have a wall to zoom to in order to face whoever is shooting you or you have to grit it out and roll and see where the dice land. Rolling is always more risky but there have been so many times I've been running from someone they get close I backroll and I'm behind them and shotgun to back 1 shot kill.
The reflex intensive moments don't come from the shooting or aiming but from the movement. Which is probably why it took me a good year or so to adjust to PC gaming when I first got a computer because the reflex intensive aspect of pc gaming is about accuracy, fast mouse movements, and being able to imagine exactly where someone is standing and turning on them when they start firing.

I don't mind the route this series took I didn't like the 2013 game that much but 2015 was OK and 2018 actually looks good.
I might skip it and wait for the 2021 one where she actually can fist fight and has giant bazongers.
As a guy I dunno why breastlets hate big titted girls I love breasts and lots of other women and men obviously do too.
Idk guess they figured the sjw have a short memory and forgot the original Laura had dd's and a Thicc ass because in 1996 there wasn't any hypersensitivity around hypersexualization like there is now.
Worst case scenario someone mods one of the older games and there's a small social media tiff but that's about it.
Nothing bad would come from her having big tits.

I actually liked the first game it could have been a good foundation to build on. The story was decent enough and Lara actually had a character arc from crying after killing a guy to outright taunting the people she was killing at the end of the game. Then the second game just erased all of her growth and essentially wiped out the entire plot of the reboot. Then the new "improvements" were just piling in a bunch of stuff to check off with no real improvements or added depth to mechanics. Plus they fucked with Lara's face and made her look like a monster.

The controls in TR1-5 were great because they were consistent. Lara always moved in a consistent reliable way that was always very quick. Like you could turn around 90 degrees very fast by rolling and you could reorient yourself in mid air to nail a really complex jump to a place you were normally supposed to climb up to.
Once you play these games enough you find yourself just flying through levels really fast after you've mastered the controls. I really find this sense of momentum from Tomb Raider's controls that I only ever felt in Mirror's Edge which did something very similar with these hard deliberate movements. I also really liked how the game forced you to prejudge things like jumps and whether or not you could actually get through an environment safely through visual clues. Since in all 5 games they'd often put you in a room where you had to think very quickly how to solve a problem before you died. A good example is a part in TR4 where you enter a room and press a switch only to find this sand bellow you is rising very quickly and the roof is full of spikes. So you have to reorient yourself to a part of the room without any spikes within a few seconds. By comparison these moments would just be scripted encounters in later games.

Character arc
She kills hundreds of people in gameplay but then acts like nothing really happened in a cutscene. It's really jarring to go from murdering people to Lara trying to self motivate herself to climb a radio tower. There's a similar problem with Far Cry 3 where the game starts with the player being this naive person who has never shot anyone, and then the player is suddenly forced to murder dozens of people in gameplay and he does it without blinking. But in cutscenes he remains the same. It's like the developers wanted to have this deep character arc in terms of story but the people designing the gameplay didn't get the memo.

I believe that it's more of "normalfags wouldn't be able to handle an arc like that without dropping the game". If the game had started with a Jason that can barely aim down the sights and took 3 seconds to load his 1911, people would've gone
<duuh the games too hard fug dis its stupid
Even though Deus Ex did this yonks ago and it wasn't particularly hard.
Instead of turning weapon handling into a skill tree, which would've made sense in the story, they just threw a bunch of bells and whistles in the form of the stealth kills that end up being not that useful beyond the basic "stab guy from behind/above/below". What would've made sense is a "nerves of steel" skill tree or something that made your hands stop shaking when aiming down sights, a specific sniper rifle skill tree in order to make them less horrendously overpowered, etc. Then you would get a more marked "dumb rich fuck -> Rambo" transition (which you still get, but it's not as drastic).
a6cc77 No.15457334
>>15457318
I think they could've solved the problem by having a less linear mission progression and by having a non-lethal option. Or just slowing down the pacing of the story.
Like say have a few missions where Jason learns things like stealth, hunting etc but don't have him actually kill anyone and then have him in a cutscene be forced to kill someone or be killed himself. And then gradually devolve his personality and language into just wanting revenge and wanting to kill more people.This is closer to reality in terms of how innocent people cope with violent situations. (See muslim extremists). My problem is that there's two separate worlds these games feel like they're in. The one where the player is just a ruthless murderer and the one where the player is a naive millenial and rather than try to blend the two together they just left them separate. It's why the ending where you can let Jason just murder his friends is so jarring because it's too late to try and merge the two together forcibly.
They could've also given the player a less linear progression through missions. Like say if the player kills more people the story continues down a different route. This is ideal for something like Far Cry 3 where you could have it so if Jason keeps killing more people more of his friends die during cutscenes and he gets more and more vengeful against the villains. Whereas if he doesn't kill anyone he rescues everyone and remains the same. This would've made the other violent side of the story have more impact. The game Dishonored did something similar to this.

aye mate you've essentially summed up what made the first four great (never played 5). your mirrors edge comparison is spot on too, you can easily play these games at a leisurely pace but once you "get" the mechanics you fly through them and you're not punished because the designers actually gave a shit, whereas with nuraider and even new games in general, we end up all playing the exact same way regardless of skill because the game designers put gameplay 2nd and graphics/presentation 1st.

Fucking spot-on.
ClassicTR had deliberate controls that had a learning curve, but once you had it down you were smooth as butter despite being digital tank controls. You could jump backward off a ladder, flip in mid-air, and then grab the ledge opposite you, and you were responsible for every action in that sequence as a normal part of gameplay. No QTEs, nothing, just well-defined controls and understanding thereof, executed flawlessly.
NuTR asks the player to press in a general direction on the analogue stick and Lara will auto-navigate in that direction, and her jumping ability is entirely dependent on the terrain and whether or not the devs want you to go to that area. Anything that requires more than a single direction and a jump/action button will take place as a QTE.
Can you imagine that ascent out of the Great Wall in TR2, where you have to do backflips with tumble-turns to catch the ladders opposite to escape rising lava levels being put in any modern game?

You know what pisses me off? Outside of Vanquish there isn't an example that comes to mind where the game isn't JUST cover shooting. They might add a gimmick here and there, like oh when you get out of cover you can do spells or shoot windows and sands fall out or some trash but no one actually sat down and thought to make some really good shit out of the cover system.
I don't know who had said this but in Vanquish, cover is like a safety net when you fuck up or your can't get that good yet, in other games the game is a safety net without a trampoline.

I've recently watched FC3 spare endingon YT (well, not directly) and it was extremely jarring to me, as I'm plenty sure by the end of the game Jason has quite the killcount, but then he goes "me good goy, me hurt nobody" and doesn't keep the knife or defend himself, so that cunt had to save him instead. Jason suddenly became a retard who forgot instantly that he isn't dealing with good people and should count on pirates turning on him. It was painful because apparently, you can only be a ruthless murderer or a spineless faggot with conscience, if you try to use weapons in any way you become literally Hitler.

The game really doesn't spend nearly enough time showing the degrading mental state of the protagonist. Besides the little dialogue I mentioned the only other instance where it shows how warped Jason has become is when you're rescuing your girlfriend and driving around in a jeep. She's scared shitless from all the explosions and bullets while Jason is laughing and having fun.

Except people don't just become Rambo overnight, or wizards, or master anything. This is a symptom of the millennial generation i guess. Even 10-15 years ago, the writing in games was far more sophisticated. And all the generic characters tended to have military bg's because it does take years of training, in various disciplines, to become any sort of killing machine.

Listen here, cunt. It's not just the lore that was done away with. It's a completely different genre. It's Gears of War starring Pam from Walmart who has a bow and calls herself Lara Croft. They still call it Tomb Raider… YOU CAN'T CALL IT "TOMB RAIDER" IF IT'S NO LONGER EVEN ABOUT RAIDING TOMBS.
Example:
>Monkey - Platforming game about Monkey that plays like Mario 64.
>Monkey 2 - Same thing as the first game but a different adventure. Monkey now has a banana gun or something.
>Monkey 3 - More of the same but now Monkey wears a hat, uses his banana gun and maybe has a sweet ass surfboard.
>MoNK4Y - rebooted game made by FEMEN starring Dog. There are no monkeys at all in the game. It's a PUBG clone where the hero Dog uses an AK47 that he calls Banana. The opening line of the game is Dog saying "I fucking HATE monkeys." while floss dancing. The story is about him finding homosexual cross species love with an obese, flamboyant Asian man.

I get where the XCOM devs in the video are coming from but they overlooked one very crucial aspect.
nuXCOM has zero options. All your rookies start off with the same mediocre base stats, all your rookies are liable to die in one hit, all your rookies have the same weapon which deals the same damage and you have very little options besides +10 aim or +1 health. You can't expend both of your actions to aim better, and not being in cover is a death sentence, so playing slowly and carefully is the only way to go because all other ways are practically non existent due to the fact that Firaxis can't be assed to think that whoever's playing the game has the mental capacity to handle a few options.
Compare to Xenonauts where the mere fact that you have various aiming modes, various starting equipment choices and various classes(the one I like the most was the Shield class which actually allows you to take risks in a way that lets you not feel the game is bullshit for rounding a corner and then finding you got gutted by reaction fire or the fucking pod mechanic giving the enemy much better positioning.

also lets not forget aiming is decided by the RNG rather than simulated spread, so you can't target terrain directly and instead have to use grenades/rockets.

Everything just runs counter productive to actual tactics and risk taking.
The biggest load of bullshit is the cover system, which doesn't actually give you cover but reduces your chance to be hit, so someone can go crit you behind full cover and there's not much you can do about it besides cursing your luck.
This is why I actually liked Long war more, because despite having the same shit foundation it introduced armor, taking aim, and gave you a lot of options. I especially loved the suppression ability in that mod.

2013 was a great way to refresh the series but they just keep remaking it without understanding why it worked.

unironically the 2013 lara is pretty hot and I'd prefer her over bimbo lara anytime. They made her really unattractive in the sequel (2015) presumable for sjw/inclusiveness points, and now (2018), as far as I've seen of trailers and videos, more attractive again

it's just a minor step up from 2015 but it's still an improvement. But she still has that awful masculine jaw/face structure so I guess it's not a very significant one

I dunno, remnants of the Aztec culture remain with the blood thirsty memer beaners.
why else would they do so much blood sacrifices and cover it up as "narco killings"?

The Mexicans are mostly halfbreeds.
