[QUOTE="DasVolks"][QUOTE="dakan45"] Here we go again, didnt i explain you that its an rpg and not an fps, it wont have recoil on guns and its not trying to be reallistic or an fps. So yeah bullets not going straight is not an fps thing but its an rpg thing. Just like you attack someone in morrowind with a sword and you miss, thats how you miss in fallout 3. With no physical logic, just because its an rpg game based on random hit/miss depending your skill level not how skilled you are in the fps gameplay!!dakan45
I don't care. Morrowind was made quite a long time ago, for that I can understand. An RPG in this age shouldn't have a crappy combat system just because it is an RPG. If you're going to make 90% of the combat based around guns then make the combat system handle appropriately. Stop making excuses for crappy game design.
Its not crappy design, its the way they made it. If you were as much accurate as you say, then what would the skills do? Increase damage? That means they would have to lower weapon damage ever more. Or decrease accuracy loss when you shoot? That would take away all the personallity from the guns since at higher levels the guns will never miss. Or add headshots and turn it into an fps? The game is like deus ex, you need to be skilled in guns to be good with them. The only diffirence is that instead of having to stant still and wait for a while in order for your crosshair to fill up, you miss more often. I dont think standing still and waiting for 3 seconds for the crosshair to get smaller would be a better idea. Buts lets forget that and pick mass effect 1, in mass effect 1, weapons loose too much accuracy while firing and you have to wait for a while to be accurate again, and that "while" seemed long, so long that i would prefer if there was less spread and there was less accuracy just like fallout 3. Lets pick mass effect 2, they turned combat into an action game, its no longer rpg. Is that what you want too? To turn the combat into a fps? I guess you can give borderlands a shot but the thing is that borderlands does not have any skills to increase related to the weapons effectiveness. But what they should have done instead of that in fallout 3? How else could they use the weapon stats if not the way they are right now?Yeah, they designed it crappily. If you read my post again you would see that I suggested weapon sway, not crosshairs getting smaller. That way you can still have RPG elements by decreasing weapon sway as you level up, and it allows FPS players to still be able to make accurate shots as long as they account for the weapon sway (which would be somewhat difficult).
Mass Effect's way of dealing with the small crosshair -> large crosshair after shooting for a long time was a great way of dealing with it. It forced you to not spray and pray and it also gave the FPS player the ability to aim and shoot where he wanted.
Just because you have a better combat system doesn't mean the game should become any less of an RPG. I'm not sure where you're coming up with this idea from.
