Except when I’m the beneficiary of the snowball. Then it’s awesome and fun
They are against fucking Quake? This crosses the line…
I don’t remember the specifics of this game, but snowballing is definitely not helpful.
Though what I really liked about older games, e.g. CS 1.6 is how it was purely skill-based and unforgiving. When I started playing, I barely had kills, was always dying. Then over time I became very good, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience.
It taught me that you can become great in almost anything, if you (1) have the motivation/discipline to keep persevering through failures, and (2) dedicate enough time to practice. A very valuable life lessons that kids these days are not getting from most games, as they are focused on opening their parent’s wallet for the newest shitty skins.
Yeah, this was my experience with Unreal Tournament 2004, at first you are the punching bag, but you learn, quicker than you may think, how the game works, and you will get better and better at it.
UT2004 is my all time favourite game, I bought it on the original 6 CD release, then on Steam for the convenience, and even later on GOG to get a DRM free version.
Apex: Legends looks at every point anon makes with a shy smile…
Not really. For example they added more comeback mechanics: The whole team being able to craft banners if they have a support legend and you now respawn with both your guns and your armor.
Can’t really compare that to Quake.
Wait, what respawn?
I reread the wiki about it. Do you mean arena mode? Haven’t played it and probably haven’t been around when it launched. From the description it sounds a bit weird.
I wrote it mostly from my memory about it’s battle royale. It gave me a little of the same chills I had with OG shooters, and has nearly everything anon disliked about Quake.
If you get knocked and then subsequently die, your teammates can pick your banner up from your deathbox and then respawn you at a beacon. A drop ship comes and you jump out of it with minimal gear.
If you have a support legend in your team, these banners can also be crafted in a “replicator”, since picking the banner up is not always feasible
Kids these days don’t appreciate their history.
Unreal Tournament theme starts playing
“In 2291, in an attempt to control violence among deep space miners, the new earth government legalized no holds barred fighting…”
Gives me chills just thinking about it.
