OT: Video Game Thread Part VII

[Lord Defect]

Go back to act 1 and farm the countess for an hour or two. She drops runes like crazy.

I hit her twice last night actually. Got about 5 runes. I think I’ve gotten maybe 18 organically from level 1 to 33 so that’s damn good.

Does anyone want an Xbox code for the MWII beta that starts tomorrow?

I have one extra.

sbmm?

 

[Striiker]

sbmm?

Yes, holy f***.

I’m literally getting into games with retired pros and people who think they’re going to be pros.

And I swear, I must be the only one who isn’t using a SCUFF controller because everyone’s double bunny-hopping around corners.

The footstep volume and “time to kill” are also insane. If someone is holding an angle you have no chance. But that wouldn’t be as much of an issue if I wasn’t playing people who are snorting crushed adderall and have Red Bull IV lines.

So that’s not the acronym for a new smash bros?

Skill-based matchmaking

It means the game creates lobbies by putting people of similar skill together, that way all the players who are dogshit can only play other dogshit and never need to improve or run into anyone good. It’s just one of the many ways they’re punishing anyone who has working thumbs and catering to the worst players.

In the good CoD games, lobbies were mixed and just based on location/connection quality. You’d have good players and bad players mixed and it was never an issue.

Thank god I didn’t take a beta code.

Thank god I didn’t take a beta code.

As always, this classic video can be applied to so many things, including this beta.

I'm pretty average at the game, but I was was getting shredded by guys that had no angle on me. Doesn't help that I can't customize my gun and can't shoot with an ironsight though.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Didn't think I'd ever see a Tyler1 video posted on here

You know how some people like trash TV, like The Bachelor? T1 is my trash addiction.

Yeah, sounds about right. I keep watching killcams just to figure out what the hell happened.

The iron sights are especially rough because the visibility is really bad. I regularly lose sight of the guys I’m shooting at because of muzzle flash and smoke.

 

[Striiker]

@FLYguy3911 just in case you didn’t, you should look up the settings people are using, as far as graphics and controllers are concerned.

Things like making sure you take off blur, changing FOV, and lowering stick deadzones make a lot of difference. I just changed my deadzones and the game feels much less clunky/heavy.

Here ya go. Perfect example of what this game is like.

For reference, this guy is a former pro player who now is half of the top tournament broadcaster duo.

Maybe someone should tell him to git gud.

He doesn’t appear to be very good due to the fact he keeps dying.
I’m astounded that he hasn’t cursed once.

He needs to crouch and reevaluate

This is essentially my experience.

The default M4 + Shotgun class was nice to run though. I've never been much of a shotgun guy, but it helped me get on the right side of things. Must be OP.

The TTK looks like milliseconds on this game. WTF are they doing?

Try watching streams in 2x speed like I usually do. Melting.

 

[Striiker]

After the Beta...

(no order within tiers)

It has the potential to be much better if they fix a few key things before the release date (TTK, SBMM, visibility, etc), but I don't think they will.

Verdansk forever.

Verdansk Warzone = S Tier
