    Splatoon Review

    in Everything Else Gaming

    I need to start coming here more or something. I dislike the forced lobby system. Other than that, I am addicted. This game is hell fun and actually a great alternative to how shooters are normally. It doesnt have the skill cieling (this is targeted towards kids), so it makes for a fun ol time. While not the developers fault I do hate ebing the only english player in lobbies sometimes as there is some latancey (you barely notice it till you're attacking/being atatcked)

    is this even legal???

    in Left 4 Dead 2

    GG Valve, make useless hidden walls to impede Infected but not survivors. This as much of an exploit as the ventilators were back in L4D1 days before Valve removed them from Verses Mode.

    Biggs, Jackie, (lousiest*), and myself have the Steam (PC) version.

     

    *Note: he doesnt really play, yet owns it. I sometimes ask him to play despite knowing he doesnt play.

     

    Also please note, if you 'buy'/'bought'/'want to learn about' the game the wiki that comes on Google is an outdated one, and have since switch wikipedia database sites (reasons I have no clue, or care. Probably space or size(display size)).

     

    Awesomenauts Wiki

     

    Heres some gameplay of what appears to be a new player: (Unknown if safe for work, as I just picked a video that wasnt a year old)

     

     

    One thing I really like about Awesomenauts, is that a match can be from 8minutes long to 15minutes long. It CAN get to 25~40mins, but thats if youre close to skill or have good area denial.

    For Ping, 150~190 ping is normal, youre probably playing with people in the same county then. Anything lower and youre pretty much playing with local in the same state or w/e equivalent for other countries. It does get bad when someone does have 300ping though. Eventhough its Peer2peer its tied to Steam Servers, so when those game servers go down thats GG, and EVERYONE looses their rank.

    Apparently Biggs is some how getting people into playing this game....some how. I wanna know who owns this game or would like to play it, feel free to Add me on Steam

     

    For others who are stumbling into this thread wondering what Awesomenauts is (No the thread title is misleading). I think my review on Steam sums it up nicely, "The Megaman of Team PvP Battle Arenas". It really feels like that, because games like LoL, HoN, and DoTA, this plays in the style of an action platformer than a micro-manage hotkey simulator. You may not style the other players powers in this game, but theres a lot of jump and shootan.

     

    How is this game for me?

     

    Well I have an easy check list.

    Do you like:

    • Megaman
    • Super Smash Bros
    • ELO Hell
    • Screaming at your monitor
    • Telling Biggs to "git gud"

    If you said yes to at least 2, this the game for you.

     

     

    They have also (not so recently) been doing an expansion for the game (which isnt finish all the way since this an indie dev team, though may seem large, often rush their stuff.) which is available on Steam Early Access. Yes there will be somethings you can not do without it.

     

    • Access to 5 additional characters
    • Semi-Access to additional map
    • Spectating
    • Lobby System 2.0
    • Custom Controls for Custom Match

    However you will have semi-access to these features if you happen to play with someone who owns it (I am assuming this means the custom matches only).

    Also please note that this isnt only on PC, but on PS3/4 and EKSBAWKS (Xbox 360). No clue if its heading towards....uhnnnnng... Xbox One store or not. Im almost reaching 700 hrs, and I find this game fun and entertaining.

     

    Before I forget base game has 15 characters and Ive stated the expansion will hold 5 additional ones. The game is also Peer2peer hosting, so dont bother asking if there will be a GC server or not.

    1: Counterstrike

    2: ....

    2. Call of Duty 4

    3. Team Fortress 2

    4. Titan Quest

    5. World of Warcraft

    6. DoTA

    (Those ones havent been around for 10 years yet, but they're close)

     

    EDIT: Though I dont know if you wanna count WoW. This why I hate Dedicated Servers, youre screwed once theyre gone. I always go back to playing old games, like I always go back to watching old movies or listening to older music. Just because its old doesnt mean you should stop being entertained by it.

    Reminder Regarding New Players and Holding Spitters

    in Left 4 Dead 2

    · Edited by ValenAlvern

    we only have 2 spitter slots

    If I recall correctly the term has existed before the buy Infected Slots mechanic was added....and I'll never forget the night that I desperately wanted Jackie to add Infected Slots to the game....Never Forget Chick, you hear me, I'll never forget. Of course Ive never been on any other server to begin with.

     

     

    bunch of comparisons about skill and individual contribution.

    Well I based it off of, if youre not making points, youre not helping. Points do help a lot on infected. Got Tanks, Infected Slots....Witch Army (lul). Spit last 5 seconds and the Spitter waits 15seconds (10seconds If you see it as doing nothing when the spit finally disappears.) Second I took the outrageous notion of spit and die, and applied it to other infected.

     

    I would also like to point out that "if youre not making points, youre not helping" is not what I truly believe or expect out of any players no matter the game. Its just the majority opinion as GC is in the heavy minority of being "Good Guy Gamers"

     

    (Note: Not denying my examples were hyperbole to hell and back)

     

     

    It's about giving other people a turn to spit once they've had their chance.

    I agree with that, but I disagree with it because theres a cap on what Infected can be out and no matter what you'll never get to be what you want at the time/depending.

     

    Spit and Die isnt a rule, its not a secret rule, nor is it a moral obligation to be maintained on the server. It should not be doctrine onto the server. Im not saying you should never say it, as anything can be seen in good light within reason. But for it to be mandated? nah.

     

     

     

    and this is why we dont have votekick as members anymore. kicking someone for skill is not a valid reason.

    It started out good, for a bit. Then it got abused to hell and back for that reason. There was also something else around that time too I remember people arguing about... Oh well.

    Reminder Regarding New Players and Holding Spitters

    in Left 4 Dead 2

    I dont see how theyre ridiculous comparisons, bad players hurt the team, they should be kicked or slain. The reason Spit and Die exist at all, is because Suicide exist. If Suicide didnt exist we wouldnt have this problem, heck if Valve released the game bug free, no one would even suggest an option. Just because the tool is there, doesnt give the right to enforce it.

     

    Though I think Spit and Die is a ridiculous notion to ask the player to perform. Might as well to tell someone to shoot better.

     

    Heck if someone doesnt wanna use the point system, let them. We have no rules saying if you dont spend points on the items you need, youll be kicked from the server.... I think.

    I admit it I play to Win.

    Slaying the spitter griefing? How so?

    Hes in no worst a position and the team is better off.

    So they have to wait for spit to recharge and because they're not able to attack thats griefing? Being in ghost for longer than a minute I would call griefing. Killing someone for not playing to the expectations you hold is what I would call griefing. A Spitter waiting on recharge I would call playing the game normally. Why not Slay a Hunter who misses their Pounce, same for Charger to, and instant Slay for Jockey because they're bad always, Slay Smokers who got behind and cant despawn, Slay Boomers not in the right position to boom the whole Team. Slay Tanks missing their Throws or are just a bout to charge the whole team.

     

    You should just be able to play how you play regular 4v4, points and more players are just icing on the cake.

     

    Of course Suicide wouldnt exist if Valve knew how to fix their bugs correctly.

    Is there a way to make suicide take 1/3rd of your points and making it if you have 0 points its free? As I recall suicide was added because Valve cant fix all their glitches *Players getting Ghost Charged*. I find it abusive to think "lol no points for you". Or alternatively make it so the last Survivor to hit you, when suicide, still gives points. <edit> If you somehow dont take damage, everyone on Survivors gets a point. Assuming youre able to make it so the it detects if youre a Ghost or Not. Ghost = No points or Message, Alive = Points and Message received.</edit>

     

    > <infected player name> decided they couldn't take it anymore, xx points to <survivor player name>!

     

    Killing someone because they're holding is griefing. I know versus is Player vs Player, but you cannot fixate yourself on "winning". If you play well or at the best you can be, thats winning to me. Of course I see the GC server as something akin to Super Smash Bros, in that its a Party game and a Combat Orientated game, but the fun comes first. Winning =/= Fun.

     

    If an Admin is seen kicking/slaying/banning someone for holding Spitter, report them and they will either go under revaluation or be talked to about it. I havent been on the server in two years and I find appalling that this still goes on. I am also to assume that this also in the MOTD on the server.
