Becoming Disappointed.

Completely agree with your initial statement. They are essentially dumbing the game down for the instant gratification generation where an "instant fix" where they cant fail is all they will play. Yes the new game is pretty but does it have heart.

Easy to say for someone who has never played PS lol..

I for one hope the majority of the population is 21+ but you can only hope.

this is a great troll right?

If not then with respect wait to play the game you moaning git.

Bloodworth is a troll. He's a very good one because up until earlier today, he had been doing a fantastic job of concealing it.

There is nothing wrong with complaining about features that you can see and think does not belong in the game. Squadrespawn, for instance, does have nothing with how the game "feels to play" and if someone finds it a stupid idea they have all the right to complain.


And whoever compared squadrespawn with hartdropping...come on, you can squadspawn in a matter of seconds, recalling to hartdrop takes severa minutes at best.l

It's a FREE game. You will get EVERY age and walk of life in here, particularly the broke ass youngsters.

It does feel like the game is being dumbed down some for the CoD/BF crowd. But on the up side it's focusing more on what made PS good, which was massive battles.

It feels like a lot of the teamwork requirements are being removed though

I'll miss the nice little touches like the animations on entering/exiting a vehicle as well.

Besides you want people of all ages playing to keep the game alive. If these elitists get their way then the game will have like 10,000 "hardcore" players and the game wont be making any money to warrant development like Planetside.

Nothing that I have seen has suggested the game is worse than Planetside. Instead it seems like they've made a modern FPS with why we loved Planetside, the big battles. Planetside was never a good FPS, the mechanics were horrible and it wasn't a fun game to play unless you had massive amounts of people playing because the core shooting was broken. Now hopefully we'll never get to see Planetside 2 with small scale battles, however making it a more modern shooter isn't a bad thing.

Name 2 things that are dumbed down. Support your arguments.

In reality, almost everything is more complex, honed, and refined.

Enter/exit animations are nifty, but they are hardly core principles of the game.

How was seeing the same animation over and over again while getting shot good? People make some weird argument about it being more realistic but in real life you can defend yourself when getting out of a vehicle.

Having no vehicle animation exit/enter animation brings it closer to realism than having them.

I don't think back to Planetside and say "Them Animations made that game".....


They just got tedious to watch.

Exactly.

It makes me wonder if the people who are so vocal about the lack of enter/exit animations spent the majority of their time playing the game, or just hung out socialized with their outfits.

I was there for the M D K.

A slight case of chicken little and the sky falling in here.

I had reservations at first and similar gut reactions ,then it dawned on me : I'm an old(er) ps1 vet who played the original and the experiences I had 8yrs ago will always be imprinted on my memory with rose-tinted glasses forever. Time to let the new generation have its turn and, you know what? I may learn something

I'm sure all the horse and cart fanatics had the same crisis of conscience when those noisy new-fangled ,smelly automobiles started littering the streets , and wished for a return to sweeping up horse shit .

I'll bow out of this thread cause it always ends up badly. Speed up the game to attract players who have been used to "winning" for years and lacking a clear solution to that will be paramount to resolve quickly.

Journey, not destination.

I'd say you are "winning" if your faction possess the most areas.

Locking a continent is fun, but this system isn't so different actually as you could just warp onto a locked continent anyway.
