This was a good joke.

RPG with no repeatable battles

Also if this whole effort is a thinly veiled way of reducing the number of battles overall because you think your battles are boring, then you have another problem altogether.

Pretty much this.

RPG with no repeatable battles

Lots of games do this. More than you think.

Except for the removal of all repetition part. You're really pushing it if you decide to have every battle being completely unique. If you don't give somebody a chance to learn enemy strengths, weaknesses, patterns, etc, balancing is going to be really hard. It will be really difficult getting a stable difficulty curve. Slight repetition is needed in some form, depending on the battle system.

Also balance balance balance. That is the most important thing.

Well the game is essentially squad deathmatch from BC2. The problem is that due to a lack of side strafing, you're forced to run in a straight line and not be able to check corners. You could TRY to check your corners, but you move so slow without the run strafing that you'll die as soon as your head pops out. Combine this with small maps (smaller than MW2), and you've got the perfect recipe for camping. The spawn system is also dreadful. I can scope down the map and see the entire enemy team respawn in a corner. There's nothing you can do to stop this. MW2 had it so if a single player pushes into the enemy spawn, the enemy spawn changes. This game doesn't do that. I got behind enemy spawns and sat behind a rock in one of the maps and got about 20 kills picking off respawning guys.

There's also the huge delay in your death animation. There have been multiple times where I was getting shot and ran behind solid cover, only to die 3 seconds later because the frostbite engine sucks (my ping in the server was below 50 just to clarify).

So I just played the Medal of Honor Beta, and the game is horrible. It's worse than horrible.

I don't understand this game. They thought combining BC2 and MW2 was a good idea, but it does nothing well. You get 3 classes to choose from, which is basically assault rifle class #1, assault rifle class #2, and burst-fire assault rifle class. There is almost no distinction between the classes, so I don't know why they don't just let you customize MW2 style. You get unlocks that make no sense. One class you get an RPG, but it does nothing and is worthless. The same with C4. In BC2 that's okay because you can use C4 and RPGs to take out vehicles and command posts. This game you have an RPG that has a 0.5% blast radius and a horrible reload time in a deathmatch style game.

And then they give you killstreaks (lol). They are extremely bland. They are basically 4 different versions of the predator missile in MW2. The spawns are horrible, the map design encourages camping more than any game I've ever played. Since you can't pick up fallen allies/enemy weapons, they put ammo crates on a building which replenish all of your ammo. That's right, you can't pick up weapons (this is hilarious). The UI gives you no information on when you get an unlock. You can't see enemies on the radar, and you can't spot enemies like BC2 unless you randomly get this UAV killstreak thing (idk the UI doesn't tell you shit). I could go on. This game is so bad.

It is also hilarious how they are using two different engines for single player and multiplayer. Whoever did this design choice has no idea how to make a good game.

In other news, I am playing Tales of Vesperia after not playing it for months. It's pretty fun, I forgot how good it is! I especially like the characters and voice acting. 8)

CRAZE IS LEAVING FOREVER

Get rpgmaker DS quick. now.

Actually, who has time for videogames in summer camp. I hope your camp confiscates all videogames. Bye!

No, that door led to a trash disposal room. Dr. Andonuts and the Mother series are a waste and have been disposed of.

It wouldn't just fit into FF6, I'm pretty sure that is a tile for tile reproduction of one of the mountain caves...


This just in, when you rip a tileset from a game and use it, it surprisingly looks similar to the source it came from!

In preperation for Other M. Thought I'd play Metroid Prime 3 because I kinda got stuck in MP2. Idk if it's just me or is MP3 kind of boring? I really don't give a shit about the story at all. The cutscenes are really pointless, one of them was some regular marine shooting at space pirates and samus just stares blankly at the action, then you are given control and continue on. WAS THIS CONFLICT BETWEEN THE NAMELESS MARINE AND THE SPACE PIRATE SQUAD ESSENTIAL? Goddamn I feel like getting 100% in MP1 hypermode or something.

Played this game for like 2 hours and forgot about it.
