Name a better strategy.

Said the person who just found out about it from this thread.
Thanks, but let's talk with someone who's actually played it.
Hello /v/. Let's have a civilized discussion about the benefits and downsides of regenerating health as a mechanic in FPS/TPS games.
>Con: Slows down games; when a player lands an excellent shot on you which does a lot of damage, instead of fighting your way to a health pack, a few seconds of hiding will heal all your health back.
>Pro: Allows skilled players to continue killing sprees, even if the enemy is camping said health pack or there are no HP packs. Chip damage from enemies who suicide-charge you to kill you will heal over time, meaning lucky shots are rewarded less.
>Con: Damage being a reduced threat messes with weapon balance.
For example, light machine guns (whose purpose in real life is partially to lay down suppressing fire, as nobody wants to take even a single bullet if it can be helped) are less effective in video games with regenerating health, as health regen makes small chip damage inconsequential. Thus LMGs are shit in Cowadoody, and burst damage reigns supreme.
>Pro: Simplifies and streamlines the game. Not having to look at a health bar for specific HP numbers, or work out health pack placements, is easier on developers and on players' available attention. (To some, this might be a con, as it attracts casuals, but from a development point of view it's a pro.)
List some more arguments for and against for me.
>>334575892
It depends on how lethal the game is in the first place, and how fast the health regenerates. If you die in two hits and have to go 20 seconds before your health regens, it's not nearly as much of an issue as if you die in 1000 hits and health regens every 2 seconds.
Do you see how you can't just put this issue in a vacuum without any numbers? Because like most if not all things to do with video games, this is purely a numbers issue.
>>334576596
This is true, so I'll use Cod's system as a yardstick, considering most health regen systems are similar.

Gimme a sec to look up rough damage numbers and compare them to other games.
Are there any games you think do the regen health system well?
>>334575892
>Pro
>Allows skilled players to continue killing sprees
Pick one.
Is R. Mika the most fraudulent SFV character?
Isn't two against one cheating?
Nope. Rashid.
No. The name of the game is "Street fighter". What the fuck you expected?
>she will never be yours
I want to die
How do I git gud at this game
Should I get one of those bulky arcade fighting controller that can be hooked up to your comp to play it because so far I'm just using the keyboard
>>334576568
The tutorials, my friend. Use them to really memorise those combos. Plus there is a 2nd Encore dlc that adds Trial mode, to help you perfect hit combos.
Is The Division going to go down as one of the biggest fuck-ups in gaming history?
I'm aware it sold extremely well, but with all the exploits, shitty dev choices, awful gear and dreadful content, did Massive/Ubisoft push the player base too far?
What's with /v/ thinking every video game launch is some massive blunder? The Division wouldn't even make it into the top 100.
Anyone who buys Ubishit games deserve whatever comes to them
>>334575893
This is less about the launch, and more about the game going forward.
The Division had a hugely successful launch. It reviewed well, it sold well, and players enjoyed it.
Beyond that though, it's turning into a real shit show.
>>334575962
Rayman Origins was pretty great though.
Is there a single good one out there? Fuck.
Well that's the clearest answer I've ever gotten on /v/. Thanks guys!

Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 iterations of Strider operate at a full 1920x1080 and run at full-bore 60fps.
For owners of all three platforms it's worth keeping in mind the strange texture filtering issue on PS4

I really wish that random encounters weren't such a tedium before reaching level 30.

DT2 was the game that made me realize how stale and bad Etrian Odyssey has gotten. I hope new EO is at least as good as DT2, but I doubt it.
Everyone I've heard of praises this game and I can't figure out why.
I'll have to get it but I can only play one or two JRPGs at once before I get tired. I need more Vita action games.

All of RE6's story problems could have been fix if they removed everything Ada related. I really hope they kill her off in RE7.

What problems?

What a forgettable villain.
What was his goal even? It's hard to find a worse character than "I just got an EXTREEEEEME MAKEOVER" guy but he pulled it off.

Played DotR again for the first time in years. Fuck me the grind is real with that game. I had something ridiculous like 30 wins each against Tea and Tristan just so I could grind some decent cards to duel Mai with.
Also a soundtrack no one talks about:

Sullivan might not be the most powerful being in the Dark Souls universe, but he's definitely got to be one of the most successful.
Anyway, discuss DaS lore here.

How come /v/ doesn't do file sharing threads like /mu/ and /gd/ do?
We used to you but you're too new for that. Used to have Filezilla servers up with all kinds of games to download and such. /g/ had one too.
we only do that for feral furry porn now
>>334574292
it's all gone

Emulated, PC, or HD collection?
>>334574285
PC with Style change mod.
Emulated or HD collection are the only real options. Emulated is likely best, but don't even consider the PC version.
HD Collection > PC > Emulated if we're talking about responsiveness.
tl;dr there's a small input delay when emulating.

They let exposed asses through, so I don't see how this is a problem.
1. Any advice on looking for secret rooms?
2. Is hunter's pet worth it? It doesn't seem to dig too often.
3. Is it worth it trying to enter the Oubliette? They assrape me there completely.
4. What do I buy at the shops? Keys? Items?
Hunterthe best.
>>334573852
1. Don't know if its purely coincidence but I tend to find them connected to chest rooms most often
2. Dog isn't great, the item increase is marginal at best
3. If you get a good gun on the first floor its worth it for the extra drops
4. Whatever you need at the time. Key drops are unreliable so if youre worried and flush with cash then stock up
How does Dark Matter gun work? It says when 2 projectiles collide there[s an explosion, do I need coop for that?
