    Jagged Alliance 4 ????

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    i mean, it's still way too early,  but yeah i really do hope Jagged Alliance 3 will be successful, it's been 1-2 entire decades of JA entries that fail as Jagged Alliance games and fail as RPG/TTS/MM games (by mm i meant MicroManagement),   i have changed my expectations a bit, i'm a mix of both old and new so if JA3

    and i do like the idea of a JA4 set in the 2010s or 2020s,  we could see alot of cool stuff like 300 Blackout rifles, panoramic quad NVGs, MP7s, similar to the game Ground Branch (which also has a bit of old and new gear from old fashioned AKs to brand new and shiny MK18s),  along with having new and old mercs to play together along side

    If you had to pick your 3 fav weapons for JA3, what would those be?

    This Gun Jesus guy "Forgotten Weapons" may shows off the best details of the weapons (also lots of odd weapons) in slow pace but it can be really boring at times, he can make you fall asleep.

     

    My favourite gunman on YouTube is "FPSRussia" he is explaining and practising the guns with real excitement, though he not posting on his successful YouTube channel anymore since 6 or 7 years but he is the most fun by far imo. Highly recommended for sure.

     

    Also "Kalashnikov Group" is a top notch gun channel on YouTube (showing off mostly just Russian weapons though.)

    Duude my favourite gunman is FPSRussia too! Though yeah it's sad he's not posting anymore

    And i do like Gun Jesus from Forgotten Weapons as well though i see why he's "boring"

    It has been 15 years since that I played Rainbow Six: Vegas 1 so I can't really remember the exact things I said. I do remember complaining about the grenades exploding on contact, how inaccurate and weak the light machine guns were (with so much recoil, despite being heavier and firing the same calibre as the assault rifles), incorrect rates of fire and damage. It made no sense why the FAMAS was so accurate and deadly, while the Steyr AUG A3 was so poor in every comparable way. I also complained about the AI enemies too.

    R6: Vegas 2 actually improved the LMGs and it is possible that they read my forum post. Unfortunately, the screwed up a lot of other guns, adding 'game balancing' (things like giving the L85 rifle a smaller magazine than is realistic, just to 'balance' it out). Apparently, the developers started Vegas 2 with a firearms expert with military experience, who told them how to set the guns' statistics. Later on, they scrapped all of his suggestions and made the guns how people see and expect them to be from watching Hollywood movies. They apparently made that comment as such.

    Oh and the AI was worse and cheated even more so.

    That is not to say that I didn't enjoy those two games. I played them for a long time and achieved Elite rank in both.

     

    It is a recurring trend for me where I will complain about the games that are supposedly 'so realistic'. It isn't me trying to be edgy or different. It is simply that I find problems within a short space of time that take me out of the game. This is often either down to silly gun design or AI behaviour. If the developers balance a gun's stats just so it fits in with all the others in game, ignoring realistic balancing (and I always say "realism balances itself") then it irritates me. If the AI behaves implausibly and super-shoots you with a one hit kill from the hip and about 400 metres away, it also irritates me.

    Arbitrary gun balancing has happened in Call Of Duty, Counterstrike and many of the Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon games that started with the XBox and Playstation. Implausible, god-like AI affected the earlier Rainbow Six games (plus the later ones in multiplayer), the multiplayer segment of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 and Operation Flashpoint. I could tell you the exact reasons why for each of the games I mentioned but I would probably bore you.

    It then ends with me arguing with others who fawn over such games as if they are the Holy Grail. As I said, it isn't because I am trying to be edgy and different. I can deal with it more if I see the game as a 'realism-themed arcade game' instead of a 'realistic' one. It isn't always a good thing having enough knowledge so that it stops you enjoying a game. Thankfully, there are games out there that really do try to go for as much realism as possible. Others can sometimes be modded.

     

    As for FPSRussia, there is a video on YouTube where he is interviewed and explains his disappearance. If you search for FPSRussia and the author, PKA Highlights, you will find a few videos on him.

    Indeed

    Also i like the suggestions you made in your previous comment
