No, I was completely sober. There’s such a thing as thinking too much.

In Devil May Cry, you break apart a chair, and find crystallized demons blood.

In most brawlers, enemies will drop *entire fucking chickens.*

In Burnout, for some reason, driving really close to other people magically fills your gas tank with NOS.

Realism is not what arcade-style games are going. They run off nothing more than

(This is aimed solely at the mosters dropping ammo, BTW. The rest is entirely your personal opinion, although calling the devs “talentless” is incredibly out of line.)

You can critizise a genre as much as you want, but guess what multiple genres are good for – to satisfy different audiences ;)
Its like critizising that Metallica doesnt sound like Mozart – and its clear that this type of critizism is illogical.

With that said, im out and let you guys have fun with Howard ;)

TBH, I saw nothing wrong with RE4′s controls, and RE5 only tightened that up. RE1-3 were control trainwrecks, though…

Also, as fas as survival horror goes…I LIKE most of the “arbitrary restrictions” you complain about. I like limited ammo, it makes me carefully consider whether I should fight an enemy or avoid them. I like the close over the shoulder camera with little freedom of movement, it leads to me actually having to look around, as opposed to just rotating and repositioning the camera like I would do in other games. I can’t say I care for limited movement or poor controls, but I also can’t say I noticed those qualities in RE4 or 5 (I doubt I will play this mod, mainly as I don’t own UT3, and have no intention of buying it)

You cannot see the flaws in your pat project; that is understandable. It does not mean they are not there. Many genres are DOA and the type you have ascribed to is one of them. Break the mould: do something new. Go crazy and dare to live the dream that we as PC gamers hold dear.

But you wont because you are comfortable.

And yes, your mod has been in development for over a decade. Engine changes mean nothing

When 2 out of the 3 weapons are empty ammo is dropped automatically. If that for whatever reason is not enough the player still has his melee and Charge-Kills.

As for the ammo boxes popping out of enemies – what made Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4 two of the highest rated games do that? Maybe because its a mechanic that works?

Why do you think Haunted has arena type maps? Could it be that its simply impossible for 2 people to do what you expect? Capcom needed 4 years, over 200 people and had a huge budget. Also, whats the point of realism in a game where you fight Hell monsters?

Where are all these awesome original mods now?
They are all dead and almost no one plays them anymore!
So how many units did Air Buccaneer sell compared to the totally original Red Orchestra? Oh yeah zero!

Dont get me wrong, im all for innovation and quirky game ideas, but in this case if we ever want to sell this afterwards, we have to do what the target audience wants which you clearly is not ;)

Each form of critisim is being looked at, but blind bashing is ignored. We don’t try to justify things that people don’t like, the game is not finished and we improve it with every release.

Anway, give the tongue-in-cheek survival action that the haunted is a try if you own UT3. You’ll see that it is different than others in this genre. If this ain’t enough, you will find more originality in the battle mode. With infinite ammo ;)
