Yeah, I hope they added it so they wouldn't forget about it, because they were talking about covering the shutdowns of a couple of other ones, which never happened.

Wasn't there a longer discussion about that either on the Ryan memorial episode or one of the episodes shortly thereafter, the one where Jeff was talking a lot about his early Internet days, doing dumb stuff on Usenet along with Ryan etc?

Quake 1 I think. That was the first time I was impressed by how they had implemented zombies, as the enemies that threw their own organs at you and could only be killed by explosive weapons.

I haven't played the early 90's game Zombi, but it seems kinda intriguing too, like a serious take on the Dead Rising idea (of course, that's just the "survivors in a mall" scenario from Dawn of the Dead).

@ll_exile_ll: Oh, haven't noticed that. I guess I usually only switch out the primary, for which there are usually enough bullets around not to ever run out.

Personally I'm kinda of the opinion that those games already feel aged. But, sure, some people would probably buy it. If they were super discounted I could possibly pick them up myself some day, but I only kinda enjoyed COD4, and was actively disliking MW2 and onwards.

If you know which person's posts you want to read, you can go to the "Forums > Posts" tab in their profile and read their full posts there. You won't see the context as in other people's posts of course, but you can still at least read that person's thoughts.

Of course it should be fixed, but you don't have to miss out on reading posts by known people at least.

Let's go back a few posts here, do you even actually lose ammo when you switch weapons? I haven't noticed that. I have of course noticed that different weapons have different ammo counts, but I think they count it on a percentage basis rather than you losing stuff - so if you have 300 MG bullets and switch to the rocket launcher, you have 2 rockets. Fire one rocket and switch back to the MG and you have 150 bullets (gear bonuses to ammo count for different weapons only change the bullet count that equals 100% ammo for that weapon).

As for penalizing switching loadouts mid battle, I think Defiance did that pretty well. There's a cooldown on the ability to switch, as well as a brief progress bar during the switch. You don't have to wait for the Destiny inventory menu to load, or wait until it starts accepting input (which it doesn't immediately for some reason). In Defiance it generally feels like a fair mechanic, whereas in Destiny you're fighting a bad menu.

Good to know. Kinda weird how lengthy they've made the process of switching guns or subclass if they are expecting you to switch them up for each enemy encounter rather than a per-mission basis though.

They really should have something similar to Defiance's quick loadout switch (accessed by holding down the triangle button and then using the right stick to navigate a radial menu), or the Borderlands and Elder Scrolls thing of switching between equipment presets using the d-pad.

@poortommy: Oh right, another artist who's been working with Max Andersson at times (especially in Bosnian Flat Dog) is Lars Sjunnesson. Not quite as much has been translated into English, and most of it is probably a bit too Swedish centric to work in other countries. Not quite as surreal stuff as what Andersson does, more in the absurdist vein. Some of his stuff has been published in the English language Slovenian magazine Stripburger, and they also have an interview with him on their site: http://www.stripburger.org/language/en/lars-sjunnesson-what-is-the-point-of-being-normal-in-a-world-like-this/
