Change is fine, I like when things get changed up a bit, but think about what you wrote for just a second. Games were too similar with health bars you said, what are shooters now a days? They ALL have the identical regen health, leading to hiding behind a rock. While that's a all and good thing to have something different but now that's all their is and what I'm asking for is not for this system to vanish, but to let OTHER means of Health management come through. Because as it stands that's all their is with new games.
It's not like health bars had ONE way of healing you, perhaps you haven't played a game with a health bar in a while, I don't know. But there's more variety I assure you.
Health packs, wall health (half life), stimpacks (fallout), Kill your enemies to drop a health kit (red faction 2 mp), portable health packs (black), Medic (Team Fortress2), Heath packs (Left 4 Dead). Regen health is just regen health there's nothing complex about it, there's no teamwork involved to fix it.
I wonder if anyone reads my posts all the way through before calling me a moron, again, it's not a bad system. But not EVERY shooter now needs it, I'm not asking for it to vanish, I'm asking for...variety. Gasp a new concept in a shooter, must be because it's not happening lately.Eldritch Warlord said:SnipSnotnarok said:Snip
Trust me, I have more shooters than most people have games, I've been through every health bar there's been in a shooter and I've beaten the Halos on their hardest, MW2 I play with friends, Team Fortress 2, Timesplitters 2, Future Perfect, Doom 1-3+exps, Mass Effects, XIII, Dark Forces, Section 8, Serious Sam etc etc. Thing is they all had a variety of ways to heal yourself, now it's the same thing. Hide, heal, shoot, repeat. While this is fine, and very fun is it such a crazy thought to you, that they just have some games with a different means of healing?
You're highly defending this system and really without reason because I'm not here with a steak and a not brandishing a shotgun, I'm simply saying is it too crazy to have another system next to it? So we can go from one game with regen to another where ..I dunno we eat Dinosaur eggs for HP? Is that really something to argue against? Variety?
