Yeah, first-person shooters and third-person shooters are so different
Tweezy wrote:Yes, that is exactly what I meant. I certainly did not allude to the B button cycling through the weapons you have in your inventory.
"Select the weapon right away" and "cycling through the weapons you have in your inventory" are mutually exclusive methods of weapon-selection, except for when your current weapon and the one being selected are right next to each other in the cycle.

They made it less skill-dependent.

No, the key is that I am being stripped of the ability to decide what earlier point I'd like to reload from.

Ah, Diablo II, my first experience with a crap worthless inferior save system...

ed who? The Scissorhands guy? I don't think he has an opinion on the matter.
Shadowman wrote:You are, remember? You were complaining about how bits of WfC were too hard, and you had to do them over when you died in one of the most simple fights in the game. (From the sounds of things, the Zeta Prime fight? That's not even really a fight)
Dude, what the bloody hell are you talking about? Zeta Prime was a pussy. Orders of magnitude easier than a certain part of Madness Returns that I actually was complaining about (and even then, I wasn't complaining about the difficulty of the fight so much as the repetitive bullshit that I had to go through to get to the fight every time I died because of the CRAP WORTHLESS STUPID CHECKPOINT SYSTEM).
Shadowman wrote:Yep. Except for Skeletor and the whale
In other words, half of the monsters I mentioned. So no.
Shadowman wrote:Which is why you saved immediately before, then reloaded until you got it perfect, then edited out all of your failures
To "edit them out", they'd need to have been in first. Actually, there was one failure: I took some damage at the end of Martian Chainsaw Massacre...
