Ammo Changes the Gun

<< < (2/2)

ShadedExalt:
So I make a thread, which gives Crafeksterty an idea, and he makes a thread, which gives Indreams an idea...

I like this idea, but 128 different mechanics (as mentioned by Canon Whitecandle) is a bit much.  Maybe Gunning TOOLS that give a similar effect?

obliviondoll:
As much as this thread wasn't well thought out, this idea made me smile:

GoIO needs EVEN MORE fireworks.

(after all, there's a reason I have a Fireworks Display Galleon...)

Omniraptor:
GOI is a very elegant/simple game, because everything interacts with everything else in a predictable and consistent manner (except fire stacks on guns). The fun come from positioning and mastery of gunnery/repair.

Compare this to a game like tf2 where there's bats*** crazy stuff happening all the time, people getting splashed with various bodily fluids, wannabe ninja tomislav heavies waiting around corners instead of pushing or trying to tickle/backstab, random crockets flying everywhere, medics with useless vaccinator energy shields, mini-sentries shutting down explosive jumpers, demoknights (nuff said) and other unnecessary gimmicky mechanics.  /endrant

Don't get me wrong I love tf2 but it's a hot mess in terms of how all the different mechanics interact that's impossible to keep track of.

Although you revived a thread few months old, I have to absolutely agree with what you said. I am extremely impressed by the game design of GOI when it comes to mechanics, gameplay and numbers. As a devoted gunner, I've spent a lot of time studying all the numbers and have to admit it is beautifully designed. This is also partly why I am not keen to new mechanics, but rather the simple adding of new maps, ships, weapons or tools.

Completely agree. New maps, ships, weapons, and tools. They are what will vitalize this game. More game modes too. Lot more game modes.

But, gunner's are quite underpowered. Stamina is a pretty shabby fix (really takes away from that elegance and simplicity). We do need some new mechanic/changes to fix an issue with the gunners.
