Games Getting It Wrong..

but everyone'll be on the BF3 team, or they will be when they face me...

hmmm... interesting propesition the Flynn, due to the fact I own neither a Xbox or PS3 I am technically neutral,

so as a film maker I will judge my side on who has the charecters, story line and plot which ATM is looking like MW3 but we will see.....

 

[Liam Porter]

Nickona, what do you play games on then?

 

[Nickona]

my computer or my friends Xbox but I am also a God at Mario Kart

 

[gangle]

im new here so im gonna chip in my two cents

ITS A GAME!

its not designed to be a simulator its a mass marketed game.

It would be incredibly hard to design a 100% (or even 80%+) realistic game due to the horrific costs of game design and the fact it wouldn't sell... for instance in Iraq 55,000 insurgents where killed while 72 million small arms rounds where fired in the first 12 months!

imagine how frustration that would be? seeing as you can only carry 5 to 10 mags max harldy any players would get kills in a game all about killing.

Also if guns where accurate to the time period to the letter then there would be a distinct lack of customisation and also then you would get less knolageable people seeing a soildier with an M4 on TV and not being able to get in in a game due to realistic reasons.

Knowing a fair bit about games developing 99% of the process is motivated by profit 1% by desire to create a good game.

but bear this in mind...

There is allways gonna be some one whining

If thats the case then they shouldn't claim to be the most realistic game

And seriously, if you were playing Rome total war and someone turned up with an m134, trust me, you'd be annoyed

I remember a rts game where you could start in dark ages then upgrade to space age if you were quick u could be using guns while they still used clubs funny at first got boring quick though

Empire earth?

 

[SheriffHD]

yeah thats defo empire earth. i know coz i still play that game like f*ck on game ranger servers

 

[lemon191]

Empire earth?

that sounds right not 100% though ,was a fair few year s ago !

 

[Nickona]

there's a new one; civilization V, slightly different but the same idea

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Everyone should just play Battlefield 2's Project Reality mod, because that's the most realistic thing I've ever played and it's insanely awesome when you get a full squad of people to talk to.

I just can't describe how good it is so I'm not even going to try, but it's practically 100% spot on in every aspect, firing your gun becomes an event, kills are few and far between, machine gunners can wipe out whole squads from miles away, snipers engage at beyond 600m etc etc, it's just awesome.

Plus, it has mumble for voice chat, so you can hear enemies chatting as well as your own team, whenever they're within earshot style ranges, around corners and what have you, which is probably the coolest idea ever in a tactical FPS, I can't believe consoles haven't done the same thing yet.

not sure thats quite right tbh lol

its a very good mod but by no means perfect and certainly not a game for the average user/cod player it does takes some learning to get the hang of but some of the armies/weapons are pretty awesome the british army with the sa80 family weapons made to look really good

 

[SheriffHD]

i personally much rather battlefield over COD,

I mean the maps are huge you can have a full out war with tanks and choppers and it takes skill to know whow to use them effectivly. in cod you can throw a grenade at the furthest point on the map and it will easily reach the otherside, where you can hold down sprint for about 1 minute and you're at the other end of the map. and sniper rifles on COD are just pointless. its like using a .50cal rifle on a 20m range.

 

[Flynn567]

Its all battlefield VS COD what about the new Counter Strike

Things i'm looking forward to:

Aliens: Colonial Marines

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Batman Arkham City

Assassins Creed Revelations

Mass Effect 3

Bioshock Infinite

Spec Ops: The Line

GoldenEye 007: Reloaded

Prototype 2 (looks much better than the 1st game)

Prey 2

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2

Resident Evil : Operation Raccoon City

Max Payne 3

A life

games getting some thing wrong? Game companies getting stuff wrong? Treyarch made Blops over a game based on zombies

 

[M_P]

In what way? The story wasn't about zombies!?!?

Games Getting It Wrong..

As an Airsoft player I do giggle when I see things like missed name guns ect

But as a PC gamer "Games Getting It Wrong" is more to do with plot holes, glitches, lazy programming, wooden voice acting and bad gameplay mechanics

Out of the two I would prefer to see the money from official licensed guns ect pumped back into the game to make it better

Or is it just me :blink:

 

[Nickona]

Why is it so bl**dy hard to get the names right?
