Regenerating health

MyrmidonMyrmidon
edited 2011-07-18 19:19:31 in General
Waiting two seconds while hiding behind cover is TOTALLY more destructive to my immersion than having my squad wait in the war-torn battlefield while I spend ten minutes searching for the giant health pickup that my enemies have randomly left lying around! And fuck using cover! There should not be ANY time in the game where I am not shooting something or searching for ammo and health pickups! I resent games that make it easier for me to creatively use cover by giving me options like shooting from behind cover and blindfiring! Bring on standing/crouching awkwardly behind a wall! All games should confirm to what the industry standard was when I was twelve!

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Is this about how TVTropes' reputation won't recover on it's own even if it nukes Troper Tales?

    Dude you didn't even mention the regenerating health thing, just the cover part. Cover's okay, but "wait five seconds then have full health" is pushing it.

    CRIMINAL SCUM!
    I still love every call of duty before MW2.

    To be fair.

    MW2 was pretty cool.

    I like regenerating health, because health pickups are only relevant as prizes, not limits.

    Same high concept, different specific topic being complained about.
  • DYREDYRE
    I don't like regenerating health, but the reason I don't like it definitely has nothing to do with immersion.

    I dislike regenerating health, because it seems to come hand in hand with PCs that are made of glass.

    @Vorpy: that is the least of DNM's problems.

    Regenerating Health means they can have tougher enemies and tougher fights...

    Most games seem to forget this.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    You ever had that situation where you're being fired at by 7 guys with only 10 HP left? That was called unwinnable before Regenerating Health.

    According to Signed and Thorn. You deserved that scenario for sucking, apparently.

    ^^ No, that's called "fun", and it's not unwinnable unless the game uses just 1 autosave.
  • CounterclockCounterclock

    Actually, that situation isn't unwinnable, that's the first few seconds of any hard mode ever!

    :3

    Why?

    Whether you leg it to hide in cover or to nab health pick-ups, it's still a valid way to annoy everyone in multiplayer, so I don't mind either way.

    Wasn't DNF horrible in every single way though?

    It was mediocre. It's quality is blown out of proportion because we had to wait 11 years for it.

    @OP: This may be the worst of your bizarre and petulant strawmanning thread. Seriously.

    This

    Why


    He was really pissy on the subject of regenerating vs non-regenerating for some reasons. It's hard to link to a specific thread since the post history doesn't go far back and most of his posts got the skullfuck treatment, but it's there.  oh there.

    Indigo Dingo was really pissy on a lot of things, really.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon
    You just say that because I totally showed how all your opinions are based on fear of change.

    Indigo Dingo, that was the Sony version of JAF except without the gigantic penis or the tiny shreds of likability, right?

    Pretty much, yeah.

    Indigo Dingo vs Acridity. A titanic battle like that was not seen again until Acridity vs Weird Raptor.
