F.E.A.R. 

Great game, forgot how amazing the enemy AI is. they are aggressive but also smart about it, they don't just bum rush you but work together to flank you or flush you out with a grenade. 

Main pitfall is how readily available the slowmo is, it really makes the game easy and hides you from the real time intensity of the combat. You forget how fast the AI is, how they are constantly moving around and changing positions because you can usually wipe out a whole squad in one slowmo iteration. 

I played it on harder settings and made minimal use of slow-mo (aka cheats) for that very reason.

but yeah, it was/still is so good. a standout of its time. pity it fell completely flat from there on. I played #2 and about 20 mins into it I just entered a state of grim determination to finish it instead of actually enjoying the experience. the mech setpiece was cool though.

metal slug games are really good to look at but they were clearly designed to be next to impossible to drain quarters at the arcade. playing on a console with infinite lives just seems pointless

Is this article arriving coincidentally, or the reason you went back to it - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/04/03/why-fears-ai-is-still-the-best-in-first-person-shooters/

 

Coincidence. It was like 2 bucks on steam last weekend

Ah, I wonder if the 2 bucks price was the reason they ended up doing a retrospective of it...

you have to show restraint. put in one or two lives and say ok no more. playing thru metal slug and just feeding in coins whenever you get killed is the definition of boredom. 

yeah i can see that. kinda like playing ikaruga for gamecube. great game. used to play it everytime my bud would come over. get a little better each time, get a little further. but after so many hours of play it would start adding extra lives to your playthrough until eventually it gave you infinite lives (i'm sure this was an option you could've turned off, but we never did). so once we got the inf lives and beat it we never played it again -_-

yeah. the actually committing to showing restraint is definitely the hard bit. 

aye gud point with the restraint.. gotta try this with multiplayer

Prepare for the dumbest plot twist you're ever going to witness.

Haha, what makes it worse is that throughout the game it lets you hear their thoughts and it doesn't pop up at all.

Again... arcade games. Still, you need to gg and see if you can complete the "very short" game on the set amount of lives given. Then we'll talk.

Amen, bro.

These days, Millennials are so reward-focused (with little effort) that earning trophies in games in most cases is a cake-walk.

Now, in my day, there were no trophies, etc. - some games didn't even end - the point was to get the highest score possible, or reach the highest level, etc.

For arcade games, it was all about beating them on one life, not getting hit, etc.

Today's precious snowflakes can't grep that shit.

child's play. here's some video i took of myself a while back:

Some people have just succeeded in making Zelda playable on PC through an emulator.

Holy crap. I want this!

ha, yeah. basically we were too poor to play arcade games. you wanna talk that smack now? come at me in any fighting game and i'll take all your quarters

they just opened a round1 arcade in the metro area that has vanilla tekken 7. been going over there a little bit on the weekends. was mostly running into absolute noobs who would hop off after getting run over a couple of times but last saturday a bunch of the old school atl crew came through along with speedkicks (possibly top 10 in the world?). got wrecked by him for the most part but got a couple of wins against him and his bud (but they were using 2nd string characters, not mains). held my own against everyone else though.

anyways round1 is generally dope outside of tekken as it's got a bar, bowling, billiards, karaoke, etc. looks like they're opening a number of them all over the us right now.
