General Off Topic / Change one word
« on: May 07, 2014, 05:05:49 pm »
Inspired by this, here is another forum game - change one word in the sentence in the post above you!

I'll start:

I love Archer but

 a very difficult game, arrow and hit hard!

dat ending^

 :o

I don't think there is a thread for this yet?

As title says - what other newer games have you tried recently and what are your impressions/short review of those?

I'll start:

Lost Planet 3:
I had played the first game in the franchise, and, whilst it was fun to a point, i never finished it, as i didn't enjoy it that much, so i was quite reluctant about even getting into this one. Ended up being pleasantly surprised as this game is quite a bit of fun 3rd person shooter. There are a few irritating things about it (such as the pretty poor cover system), but i enjoyed it quite a bit, completing the entire campaign (+sidequests and a lot of other completionist stuff) on hard. Good stuff.

Agarest: Generations of War:
It's... anime... /uninstall

Alien Rage: Unlimited:
A somewhat average, but potentially fun first person shooter. Sadly, it is terribly optimized and wouldn't run decently on my system even on the lowest settings.

Legends of Aethereus:
Probably intended as some sort of MMO. Story sounds like something a boring 10 year would come up with, everything generally looks ugly as fuck and the combat is super lame. I don't understand why this exists.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow:
A 3rd person slasher. Might be fun, might be not, it failed to really draw me in, so i got bored with it after a couple of levels.

Rise of Venice:
A trading simulator. It's okay'ish, but i feel it's just too shallow to keep attention for more than an evening or two. Almost feels like a smartphone/tablet game.

Demonicon:
A 3rd person action-RPG. Has some flaws, but i was quickly drawn into it. Reminds me a lot of Witcher, except the combat is a 3rd person slasher with some magic inbetween. Finished on hard with all the sidequests done, had good fun. If you liked the first Witcher, you will probably like this one as well.

... and all the other things floating around out there / SPaZ2!

Just wanted to draw attention to http://www.gog.com/promo/1c_gsc_nival_1c_online_weekend_promo_310114

Really great sale, lots of nice titles here, especially ones such as Perimeter, Silent Storm and UFO series :)

Since there hasn't been a thread about this yet, afaik.

Massive Xmas Sale going on right now, currently they have all the specials active at once, tons of good stuff to pick up!

Apart from all the classics and stuff, i'd probably also recommend picking up Shadow Warrior (2013) - it's there for only 10$ (if you pick it from THIS pack) - seems like a massive bargain to me!

Beginner's Help and Guides / A quick cRPG IRC chat HowTo
« on: November 06, 2013, 01:56:48 pm »
Why, hello.

As most (though maybe not all) of you know, cRPG has its own IRC channel on quakenet. For those, that do not know what that is, just call it a chat channel.
You can come in for a random chat, though most of the time people come looking for help with something.

You can get in it either through here:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


or, if you're real trendy, you might even have an IRC client:
(click to show/hide)

That's all fine and dandy, but - what to do when you're inside and have a problem?

Don'ts:
  • Write "Hey, anyone here?"
  • Write "Can anyone help me?"
  • Write your issue, then leave after 5 minutes of no reply
  • Start randomly spamming chadz, cmp and other devs with slaps

Do's:
  • Write down and explain your problem first.
  • If the problem is sensitive, leave out the details, only explain them in a private query to an admin or someone, when approached
  • Wait for at least 10+ minutes, preferably longer, it can take a bit for someone to check the channel and see a new message.
  • Be polite

Follow this guide and you will spare the nerves of both yourself and the people, that are lurking in the channel, ready to help whoever :wink:

What.

Ok, most of these things have been this way before... AND IT WAS FINE.

Except for the one stat, which got its direction REVERSED during the last change to archery - missile speed.

Missile speed - this determines how quickly an arrow begins to drop, and thus determines the range of a bow - both the maximum range (how far can you shoot) and EFFECTIVE range (at what range can you actually hope to hit a moving/dodging target).

This being reversed has made it so that longbow effectively has the shortest range of all bows (with the exception of Yumi) and is generally shit in every other way as well, whilst Horn and Tatar bows completely dominate at all distances, due to their combination of draw speed, missile speed and accuracy, due to their lower base damage.

The only argument i've received, when i've sought for any sort of explanation: this simulates longbows firing heavier arrows. What the fuck, realism? Last i checked, longbows were known for their great range?

What the fuck, balance? :|
