Okay now make a real game in Source 2

e:wow lmao css players seething

Just because you don’t like competitive shooters doesn’t make CS2 not a “real game”.

Honestly I’m just happy Valve is making games again.

Literal clown take. Mad cuz bad.

Go play Half Life Alyx, a “real” game on Source 2.

Is it playable without VR hardware yet (officially)? Would love to play it, but… VR still seems like expensive gimmick to me.

Please provide a list of Real Game requirements. I’m sure Valve would be very interested.

I’m sorry, a mainline entry to one of the most important multiplayer games in gaming history isn’t a ‘real game’?

Stoked. I like the new improvements. I’m happy to see this game moving forward like this. Been playing for over 20 years and I couldn’t be happier. After a few patches to tidy up loose ends, this game will leave CS:GO in the dust.

Not going to lie, I haven’t played a competitive shooter in years, but I used to play the shit out of CS back in the day. I kind of want to jump into this again.

1.6 was the shit on every single LAN party when I went to primary school. Good times.

Indeed. I was pretty decent back in 1.3 days playing on a friend’s server who had a frickin T1 line at home. It was just as competitive play was starting to develop and there was no voice chat until Roger Wilco came about. That’s partly why I’m not a WASD guy. Gotta keep the fingers on the home row ready to type “I had sex with your mom.” not just say it.

Ah, memories.

Played some CS2 last night and it was death match rounds on Dust 2. Unbelievable how fast I die. I just can’t even…

However, the game did feel really well polished. Very snappy except for a few lag spikes. I started to limber up and even earned a positive K:D in one round. Well, for most of the round. I fell to - 3 in the last moments, but overall it was pretty fun. Don’t think I could hang in a regular match though. Too much time sitting around dead.

Well, the reason dying in death match is faster in CS2 is because now it’s FFA, pretty sure in csgo it was team death match.

So now everyone is out to get you, not just the other team.

I get that, especially when the map is fairly small, but I’m talking about the insane twitch reflexes and aim of these players. I feel like 90% of the time it’s just thp-thp! and I’m dead, from practically any distance, whereas I’m firing bursts and need a second or three to actually kill someone.

Plus AWPers are unreal. The crosshairs in the scope blur if you move at all, so I can’t fathom how these folks are so accurate, but there you have it.

I’m not calling anyone a cheater, just saying the average skill level is far beyond me. I still had fun. Gotta remember, it’s easy, just click on their heads.

still just competitive point and click right

as opposed to competitive button presses?

By that logic, doesn’t point and click describe every PC game?

Painting so easy, you just draw lines on some tarp

Film making is even simpler, just start the camera, wait a while and stop it again!

Well it is a FPS game. There is going to be pointing and clicking as a central mechanic.

Valve’s shooters be like

I wish we’d get another Left 4 Dead, and while I don’t feel like TF2 really needs a new game, it could probably do with a fresh coat of paint (like PBR materials).

Goddamn, for real. Left 4 Dead 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, maybe even my favorite. Everything that’s there adds to the experience and is finely tuned and crafted. It just plays so well that it’s the only game that Ive played for over 200 hours and still go back to that has no meta progression whatsoever, aside from achievements I don’t even chase.

that has no meta progression whatsoever

That’s one of the reasons I liked it. Everyone has the same experience, there’s no FOMO. It’s just so pure.

I was among the millions to cry foul that LFD2 came out so soon after the first game. It seemed like it was just gonna be a $60 map pack.

But goddamn they brought their A game and really did improve everything about the original.

playing cs2 makes me REALLY want a left 4 dead 3 with this engine 😞

Day of Defeat is beneath the pool

DoD was the first FPS I ever played that had mouse aiming. That sounded dumb to me so I just camped in crowded areas with a machine gun and waited for people to run into my crosshairs.

I cannot aim and also have a crap mouse (don’t really want to spend money on anything gaming related) so I alternate between MG and nade runs. Small maps are great for nading all night long.

I spent more time on this one than any of the others.

If there’s one good thing that Back 4 Blood did, it’s remind me how good Left 4 Dead was, so I went and played that instead.

Remember Valve’s cardinal rule: We can’t count to 3.

I like how Half Life is entirely missing 🤣

I mean, half-life recently got a new game. It wasn’t Half-Life 3/HL2:EP3, but it was more recent than L4D and TF2; which tend to be forgotten about until people start complaining.

When you gate it behind VR, most people aren’t going to play it. It’s also a prequel and wont address the cliff hanger ending.
