@wallhackio Rowan thinks that I'm fumbling in Titanfall 2 because it's a game that wants to just feel good and flow, but I play it like Ultrakill where I am in command of my destiny and have to be pushing every button in the world

@amy @wallhackio this is also how you play fighting games, I feel like

@The_T @wallhackio I mean in fighting games you are in command of your destiny and do have to be pressing a very specific series of buttons

@amy @wallhackio yeah, but I still feel like the way I play is closer to a flow than a pushing buttons; like yes, I am doing the physical act of pushing buttons, but it's so much more disconnected. I am thinking "do a hadouken" and then I just do the motion, not thinking about the motion.

Basically it's what makes footsies feel good, the same seratonin of kiting someone, teasing someone, waiting for them to fall into my trap...

And also probably why I don't memorize combos

@The_T @wallhackio I think you misunderstand how I feel when I play fighting games tbh

@amy @wallhackio maybe a little. We should play more.

@amy what FPSs have you played?

@wallhackio TF2 (ha ha ha ha) and Ultrakill are the big ones

@amy ah yeah overwatch/tf2 and battlefield/cod are two opposite sides of a spectrum in my opinion

titanfall is definitely on the battlefield/cod side

(it's actually not a spectrum its a triangle with a corner for counterstrike/valorant but whatever)

@wallhackio @amy where are Doom and Quake on the spectrum

or Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Timesplitters...

@The_T @amy you're right its actually a square

@wallhackio @amy 👉👈 I only play old games it seems...

@The_T @amy I actually have never played doom and quake so its possible its a pentagon

@wallhackio @amy I would say Doom and Quake are definitely in the same quadrant, as the latter 3 games are (in their own quadrant together)

@The_T @amy does the movement have a lot of inertia or is it snappy and responsive?

@wallhackio @amy 🤔 both?

Doom and Quake are both about moving very fast. They are definitely, precursors to Ultrakill.

@The_T @amy okay right now I think its a square:

cod/battlefield
doom/quake/ultrakill
valorant/counterstrike
goldeneye-likes

@wallhackio @amy 🤷 sure! I dunno what valorant and counterstrike are like

nor cod/battlefield besides "boring"

@The_T @amy battlefield 1 in particular kicks ass but none of the other battlefields hit for me

there are some good cods but its probably best not to mess with them because of the way that they are

@wallhackio @amy I think, I want to get "into" FPSes... but when I say that, I really mean playing old Doom and Quake...

it's been on my mind for a while.

Because when I played that as a kid, I didn't use a mouse, you didn't really do mouse-and-keyboard back then for games...

So I'd like to learn it and do that...

@The_T @amy i played modern shooters for the first time as an adult and even though i have played lots of videogames my whole life it was a MASSIVE learning curve.

really really fun, and i eventually became a very fine battlefield 1 player, but i had 0 intuition for it

@The_T @amy it would probably be a big learning curve again if i played doom or quake! that would be a great time probably

@wallhackio @amy yeah, that's definitely how I feel like I am...

I didn't even play Doom and Quake a ton, but I adored Perfect Dark and Timesplitters 2 and 3.

I wanna do a co-op Let's Play of the latter 2, they're very good co-op games.

@The_T @amy oh i would LOVE to play timesplitters with you some time

@wallhackio @amy haha. I'm not sure how well netplay would work... it might? not sure. I don't think it had LAN play...?

But for the co-op, I'd probably do it with a friend IRL...
