Oh, yeah. Reach is worth finishing.

There’s some great stuff.

Spoilers for Reach+ I personally found it very satisfying that the mission leading up to a space battle actually then includes participating in the space battle, and it’s fun. Most games would cutscene past what the game engine couldn’t handle, or would include a barely playable space battle. The one in Reach was a nice surprise. + The cutscene after taking down the space station is easily among the top 10 video game cutscenes, for me. It may be the most Spartan thing ever Spartan-ed. + The end fight is pretty unique. I replayed it recently with my kid, and I was amused by the respect it earned with him. I can’t even put it in a spoiler tag, though.

i’ve heard good things about the ending fight. I’m really excited to get too it. I wish i hadn’t spoiled it for myself years ago though

MajorHavoc,

I wish i hadn’t spoiled it for myself years ago though

For what it’s worth, I read the book the game was based on, before playing the game, so I knew ::: spoiler (vague nature of a Reach spoiler) how the ending would go ::: in advance, but it still works great, even when spoiled. The game really earns it, so it works even if it’s not a surprise.

But that’s why I still can’t even include it inside a spoiler tag. Feels best to let folks find it themselves, who don’t already know.

The shooting in R6 feels so fucking bad now. It’s also quite unbalanced :(

admin,

Wait til you try to hit a target 25 yards away with a FN 5.7 with no sight… IRL

chiliedogg,

I mean, if there’s a pistol cartidge it’s easy to shoot with precisely at medium range it’s a 5.7x28. Recoils like a 22 with downright stupid velocity. A good shooter can do a 2-3-inch 5-shot group at 25 yards without an optic on an FN FiveSeven. With a red dot, they can get 1.5 inches pretty easily.

Some would say it’s grossly underpowered, and only really useful tactically in the armor-piercing variety. But there’s no arguing it’s a breeze to shoot.

admin,

It is indeed a breeze, but as a personal preference I think is more effective at 25 yards or less, I don’t consider myself a good shooter and I have trouble hitting the target at 25 yards accurately with a 5.7, but with a 40 I can do 50 yards with ease.

Maybe the projectile speed plays a factor, also I tend to practice shoot with one hand, which might be playing against me.

chiliedogg,

You should try 10mm if you’re good with 40.

I am not. I’m too much of a skeet shooter to be good with a pistol.

admin,

I have tried it, is my girl’s favorite so we shoot it pretty often.

Edit: and how funny, I’ve never tried Skeet Shooting, but seems like a lot of fun.

chiliedogg,

Skeet shooting is a lot of fun, but trains you to jerk the trigger.

You go to pick up the CD from your friend’s place.

“Hey the CD is not in it’s case”

Your friend looks around their room, finds it on the carpeted floor next to their bed.

“Oh here it is” … it’s got sauce on it and he cleans it off by wiping it on their jeans … “here, thanks man”

Notyou,

he cleans it off by wiping it on their jeans

In a circular motion even though you explained the center out is the better option.

bobs_monkey,

I made quite a bit of money off people in my HS parking lot with one of those disk doctors.

Notyou,

I had no idea something like this existed but it is something that I would have been into.

bobs_monkey,

They were great for light scratches and buffing out blemishes, it came with this solution spray and the wheel was basically just a buffer pad that wiped center out while rotating the disc. But anything beyond a light scratch was pretty much DOA.

Notyou,

How much were you charging? How did you advertise? Word of mouth?

I’m just curious. I sold warheads in elementary school. For a quarter a piece at first then down to nickels and dimes as people ran out of quarters. I think I just wanted to see how much I could sell by making different deals. As an adult I hate haggling though.

bobs_monkey,

$4-5/each, and yeah word of mouth. I pretty much did it for weed money, so I wasn’t really too crazy about getting that much business.

Notyou,

That’s a good profit margin. By the time I was trying to get extra weed money, I was “extracting shareholder value” when I was working at Wendy’s. There was more opportunity working the drive thru.

I could never stand the way recoil works in counterstrike, in any other system your crosshair is moved around and its intutative to compensate for recoil, in counterstrike you just have to memorise the pattern in which the bullets come out of the barrel sideways.

_stranger_,

An elegant algorithm, from a more civilized age.

Hawk,

Lisp is fun, and recursion can be slick. it is hard to read though!

Reeses258,

That’s actually an option you can turn on.

dink,

Not true. Players who memorize the spray pattern choose to turn off the dynamic crosshair. By default it is pretty standard with other games.

You’ve got to tick the other games you want in the dlc page after going to the game’s properties in steam.

You can do that now to add the ones you want to play. For some reason if you just click download without selecting any other dlc, it just installs Reach.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I was thinking it would carry my selections from Steam Deck over. I went ahead and started the downloads this morning and they’re all done now thankfully

A trip down memory lane! Forklift battles are fun :D

I was going to push for 120 but for some reason i guess my monitor can’t do that despite me being 100% sure it could. I even had it hooked up via DP.

DP 1.2, perhaps? Either on your GPU or your monitor. 1.2 only goes up to 75hz at 4k, while 1.4 can do 120hz.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m thinking it’s the monitor. I think i was just referring to the wrong manual for a newer version of mine when looking at it. I’m a bit disappointed, but I’ve lived this long without 120hz, i can live a while longer

Congrats on the new rig! What kind of hardware do you have?

200 is getting pretty close!

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Nothing too fancy, but certainly enough to get me by until i upgrade the GPU. I have a Ryzen 3700x i bought used, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1 TB NVME SSD and a 250 GB HDD, and a Radeon RX 7600 XT 16 GB. I planned it around having a bit of wiggle room to upgrade. The CPU is probably fine, but the GPU i want to upgrade eventually. Maybe not now, but someday

ramjambamalam,

Way too close for even a bullpup rifle. 65% is honestly pretty good if he’s already at point-blank range by the time brain impulse to fire the trigger is sent.

confusedbytheBasics,

To be fair. Is pretty difficult to hit someone with a longgun at such close range.

JackbyDev,

I think the game is meant to abstract away simultaneous actions. So it’s like the alien and you are moving at the same time, not like hitting a stationary target next to you.

But still, missing those 99% hits like this hurt.

JackbyDev, do gaming w Trajectory

If you want this image to be more accurate, put the alien head right next to the muzzle.

and then there’s Fallout 3 & NV, where low skill points in Small Guns makes bullets bend away from the crosshair

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@lemmy.ca avatar

And your gun sways all over the place. Worse in 3, your character just moves their neck forward instead of using the sights when aiming. That just magically makes the bullets spread less despite not actually aiming… thank fuck for Tale of Two Wastelands.

Take Battlefield’s, but add a few more arcs as the bullet bounces.

chiliedogg,

I need to try Arma again. I love the concept, but with all the complicated controls it felt like a marriage between Battlefield and QWOP.
