wtf...you dont even have to aim correctly in css...use that dumb awp and shoot 10 feet either direction of the enemy and you get a headshot
or use that aimbot that is the deagle.
I´m not sure I understand you. This game has a narrow story and forces you to go through the same replika-corridors multiple times, so you like it that way?unnamednewbie13 wrote:
Doom-type level design was great for the period in which those games were made. I'd rather see that kind of design in games with narrow plotlines than have to wander through a sandbox that gives you nothing but extra travel time.Sisco wrote:

I prefer focused map design if the game doesn't focus on complex plot lines. A huge sandbox with nothing in it and/or no point to any of it might as well be a corridor shooter. Doom was an action FPS, not a story one.Sisco wrote:

I agree. Hence why the mapdesign in Dark Forces is so terribad. Especially since you cant save during a mission.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

This is pretty much why I find RAGE so boring, it pretends to have all these open and varying areas but really it is 100% linear so it is just padding out the game between identical no recoil gunfights.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

It should be a good design though. Like Deus Ex did it. The areas wern´t too wide, yet there was enough to be discovered and many ways to approach things.TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.
Please exit Steam and go to the folder called C:\Program Files\Steam\ (this is the default location for a Steam installation - if you set a different installation directory, you will need to browse to it).
Delete all of the files in this folder except:
The \Steamapps\ folder and Steam.exe (this file is listed as an application and features the black and white Steam logo)
Restart your computer.
Then, launch Steam.exe from within the Steam installation folder, and not from a pre-existing shortcut.
With Steam running, re-test the original issue.
Note: This process will not affect your currently installed games.
If the issue persists, make sure your network is optimized for Steam:
Pretty much. Rage is sadly a poor example. They neither use true sandbox nor proper "corridor" shooter format. It's a lot of driving long distances from A to B with nothing really between the two points to hold your interest. They might as well have cut out the driving and just given us portals to bandit lairs to enter from a central hub.Sisco wrote:

Like I said, I understand why it doesnt happen but that doesnt change the feeling you get after buying a game and finding it wont work till you google and install random things for 30 minutes. Of course that is just as common with brand new AAA titles these days so its all moot I guess.

Well that got rid of the duplicate game in my list at least. Steam is still constantly freezing up and being unresponsive though. Not to mention updating games that are already fully updated or not updating games that need to be.FloppY_ wrote:

Tru dat, newest example being Rage. I guess its part of PC gaming, but the lack of info pisses me off. With Dirt 1 they at least had an info at the store page that it wouldn´t run under Windows 7.TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

You sure that "updating game that isn't supposed to be" isn't Cloud sync?TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

You can untick the "keep this game up to date" box if you want to make sure it doesn't download anything unless you want it to...TimmmmaaaaH wrote:
Yeh its not, I think it was actually just verifying the files because it didnt download anything and then said it was finished. Number 1 required feature of steam is separate install/uninstall from downloading/deleting. Suppose it is not really an issue in most countries but I cant just be downloading shit all the time because steam is being dumb.
same with gta and rocket launchers. whats your pointunnamednewbie13 wrote:
