Unreal is a great series.

Yeah see the problem is that most younger people that have grown up with more recent games all seem to be on speed.
They talk fast, they want everything right away and it's just annoying more than anything else.

As you get older your reflexes aren't as good, and you tend to actually enjoy things differently. Adding stress to something isn't enjoyment.
Some challenging aspects of games can be ok especially if it involves patience or learning how a game works so you can predict situations.

But wanting my gaming experience to be ADHD simulation isn't something I'm interested in. I usually turn up sensitivity in options for a lot of games and that's enough for me, going beyond that would be ridiculous.

no actually I got stuck behind a barrier and couldn't find anyway of turning it off even though I got through it to check the prison cells.

Newer games are easier :thot:? Look at just about any genre (aside from pure sims) and this is the case.

Conversation is a lost art in general but I digress.

I don't care too much if a game is hard or not, within reason. Games that basically play themselves are alright once but generally not something I care to revisit.

I wouldn't compare using a mouse and keyboard to ADHD simulation lol.

Only play the addon if you go out and get Ultimate Edition. It adds back in a ton of maps to sort the addon's flow out because its essentially the beta version of UNREAL XD, so a guy added back in more cut maps into the areas where the retail stuff is supposed to be. REALLY makes it feel like a finished product.

New games are definitely easier all around. There are easier old games but most are harder on average and some you should get an actual medal if you beat.

I know that. I'm talking about wanting to use a mouse for "better control". As in it's more accurate and faster.
You only have to look at youtube videos and you see how ridiculous the screen movement speeds can get with PC gaming.

Having a better display would solve motion problems :nod:.

Ohhh those things? Look at the edges, you can walk through it when they stop flashing :) ...or the other way round, one of the 2.

Ever tried STALKER? I'm pretty sure thats what you are after in terms of combat, specialy in the modding scene as they've gone to town on the way the AI works. Ive been Lost Alphas beta testing team for awhile now and the AI is definatly better. Aiming is great, you have to think more than other FPS and they flank you...BOY do they flank you so you have to keep your back covered too. No twitch responce other than maybe in an ambush situation? It's all about waiting and being an oppotunist.

no wonder I looked all over for a switch and even killed the two prisoners in that block thinking that'd shut it off.

My PC display? It's 2ms dude there are a lot of people playing with worse than that.
Anyway fuck using that tiny thing for gaming, I play console games on a 43" tv.

My PC is a tool. Console is for games.
I have BD players for movies I don't use my consoles for those.

Quoted response times tend to be sketchy best case scenarios. My only point was that a better display will have less problems with motion than a crappier one.

Both the Benq and the Asus I have are pretty good.
I didn't mean motion issues with the display. I mean setting up a mouse for ridiculous speeds.
PC gamers brag about that sort of thing all the time but to me it's senseless.

oh, those idiots...yeah i dont like those type of players either bud. There is a reason they made big mouse pads and its for people that like to swing their mouse around. I don't exactly have low sensitivity but neither do i see how people can play when a twitch makes you spin in a circle :/ I prefer to throw my mouse across my pad XD

Playing on a big screen just shows you how much the game looks like poooop. :wacko:

If I was trying to play anything on my PC I'd need to be a matter of a few feet away, all my displays are around 24".
I'm not going to park a table right in front of my couch :pwacko: And playing games sitting at a desk is something you do in an office :whistle:

Purely a preferential thing like I mentioned a page or three back. It's no different than people beating their chests about how big their display is :shrug:.
