I hate the PRNG of XCOMs. For anyone suffering from that I recommend Hard West. It’s a buggy game, but the luck mechanism is interesting. Basically when missing, your luck increases, and eventually that helps you hit. So missing a good shot isn’t that bad, because you can build a strategy on it regardless.

AwesomeLowlander,

XCOM 2 has that same mechanic, in case you didn’t know. It’s just not advertised to the player. So this is purely psychological on your end :P

ouch,

How many years of luck increases do you need in XCOM 2 not to miss a 99 % shot?

Seriously though, do you have any good sources to read about this?

AwesomeLowlander,

Not really I’m afraid, it’s been many years since I was playing Xcom and reading these articles.

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.

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.

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

Nerd powers activate… (And yes, the redraws are really quite ridiculous. But tiddies sell microtransactions, I guess.)

As a side note, I never quite understood why Fio is wearing glasses in the Metal Gear Slug 2 character select screen except, possibly, so the artists could have this gag where they shatter for a quick freeze-frame when you select her:

Because she definitely is not wearing glasses during gameplay, visible even when her face turns towards the camera during her reload animation:

Yes, Metal Slug has reload animations. Metal Slug has animations for everything.

brokenlcd,

Of course she doesn’t wear them. You just smashed them.

Me reviewing Touhou on Steam:

It’s hilarious because it’s the default control style now, but I remember trying Perfect Dark with the “2.1” controller setup where you used the center stalk on two N64 controllers (giving you a joystick for each thumb) and how hard it was to use initially. So different than the C aiming on Goldeneye.

I heard that there was a way to do this in GoldenEye too, but I had no idea back in the day.

aeronmelon,

Yes, plug a second controller into the N64 and switch the control style to Domino in the pause menu.

You bought the virtual console version of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark because you have fond memories of playing the carts on the N64 when you were young.

I bought the virtual console version of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark because I have never played them before and wanted to see what all the excitement was about.

We are the same, enjoying classic masterpieces of entertainment in our adulthood.

supersquirrel,

I am a ventworm from the nitrogen clouds of nebula-132, I loaded Perfect Dark into the meat computer in my belly and I enjoyed it immensely.

We are the same.

I played Nightfire (?), with the x-ray glasses that showed that lady’s lacy underwear.
