@ChucksSEADnDEADمنذ 7 سنوات It's not so much "gun porn", but "what-Hollywood-thinks-guns-are-like porn". I remember the reviews criticizing the "half id="hidden37" class="buttons"> a magazine to the chest to kill an enemy but there's location damage for the headshot" as a dumb way to pad the game with artificial difficulty/trying to make the gameplay "deeper" but without really offering that reward for the skill. It's a console game, it's made with lack of precision in mind, except for spread at range I've never had an issue with going for the head rather than the chest. There's no "skill" in avoiding the direct fire if half of the cover elements explode in a ball of fire. It's not so much that the game has hard sections but that many times you can only see the muzzle flash and not the enemy it's coming from. You shoot back at the flash but what the hell are you hitting? A grey concrete block? Grey metal pipe? Grey fatigues worn by the enemy? The enemies had poor AI and I remember this being excused as "it's just a dumb shooter based on dumb Hollywood action movies!" so the mowing down of dozens of brain dead goons was forgiven. A lot of stuff was indeed taken from the movies, such as the excessive metallic clicking. ....وسعت 5

@tacticalochoa1310منذ 4 سنوات For me, one of plenty of games that did firearms very well was Insurgency: Sandstorm. God the weapons in that game are great to use. They feel satisfying id="hidden38" class="buttons"> to use, they have a good punch to them, and they're.mostly realistic. There are certainly some hiccups though, like the extended and drum magazines. Plenty of the extended magazines look pretty bad and it doesn't help much either that most of the extended magazines and the drum magazines have too low of a capacity to them. Sure, there is the game balance argument there but come on, you're telling me a stretched out STANAG magazine that looks like it could hold at least an extra 15 rounds really only holds 5 extra rounds compared to the standard M4/M16 mags. I also have a problem with the light and heavy armors in the game. I feel like those armored vests should provide better, more significant protection against most of the various different rounds in the game than what the game currently has for them; especially for the heavy armor. ....وسعت 3
