/vr/ - Retro Games

Nothing to do with epeen, really. It's more about the satisfaction from mastering the flow of movement, map control, and mind games. Do you know anything about fightan? Mind games are a massive part of those games in all levels of play, but especially high levels. Well, Quake 3 DM involves a great deal of mind gaming. When similarly skilled players face each other, the player who seems like he is reading the mind of his opponent is usually the victor. Just saying, there's more to this kind of game than learning the map and spawn camping. Seriously, watch that video and you will understand.

It used to be a popular sentiment on /v/ circa 2010 that arena shooters were the epitome of video game skill and mastery. I remember an image someone made comparing fighting games, ASSFAGGOTS, arena shoots and whatnot. It was pretty funny, but I'm a retard that lost all my shit in a hard drive crash ages ago.

they took away alot of the more punishing and interesting enemies (probably to balance for controller and save space) so it ends up being flat next to DOOM games like plutonia or the good parts of DOOM 2.
its atmosphere is awesome though.

its nice to have alot of rockets, but it just ends up being blander than the other games.

Any tips on how to deal with the Necromancer fucks in HD? I think I'm alright at killing them as soon as they let me, but I've found no way to avoid their attacks

not to discourage, but some things to keep in mind:
- a recent similar thing (http://talonbrave.info/?p=1801)) seems to have been unsuccessful in drawing any participants (and that's at $250)
- HUH2 has been in the air for 2-3 months now. I've done basic preparation, but I'd still feel like I'm cheating. what's to stop someone from submitting a map 5 years in the works?
- HUH and QUMP were full of first timers. the idea of competing in the same weight class as guru mappers might sour the affair. as well as the prospect of being ranked, in general.
- as much as level design is a universal language, just dropping Doom judges into Quake maps may not be the best idea. I assume there are reasons for them preferring Doom after all. could be an entertaining shitshow though.

that's assuming Quake anyway. same thing for Doom could work.
anyway, maybe try contacting the Prey guy. it may just solve all of these in one go (clear niche theme to prevent cheating, prior disinterest from gurus letting others have a go, and possibly a judge packaged in). still, mapping for someone else's idea and judgement instead of your own might tank the motivation.
