vient Spoiler I'm torn between hating Tokyo Ghoul Root A for not half-killing a certain someone, but at the same time I'm excited for the next episode. God dammit why can't it come out sooner so that I can bully Tumblrfags on /a/

Here's the thing, ADS in video games is impossible to do IRL, because IRL, you secure the gun on your shoulder and lean your head in.
Sadly, pseudo-realism is acceptable just as well as realism in shooters. I still am annoyed when magazines are called clips, but I don't bother sperging out like a /k/ommando because it just never amounts to anything.
That reminds me
I love the jeering in place of pure autism, it makes it more funny and less cringy.

I think it actually turned out pretty well for MS Paint art.
pokemon duh
Naming an entire franchise is a little vague. Could you possibly narrow it down to which release it is?
Emerald because zigzagoon and not 3D
You're crazy if you think I'm going to spend 10 years making that picture look 3D.

Also, congratulations, this is indisputably the most civil Halo discussion I've seen on this forum since I arrived. Let's all pat each other on the back for that.

Believe it or not, late-night /v/'s actually not bad for Halo discussion.

Half of that is more lore butthurt than gameplay issue, but I care about both.
Well, we have seen people using ADS in lore before.
For them to trade that out for manually aiming down the sight is almost as stupid as the ME universe going from a practically infinitely firing rifle and back to clips in two years.
"But the Geth thought it was a good idea!"
You have to admit, the mental gymnastics the writers had to pull to accommodate that change in the lore that were pretty impressive.
That's not even aiming down his sights, though. It's clearly not in front of his visor, it's still to the side.
To be fair, that's probably the closest you can get while using a full helmet and a compact weapon like the SMG while still having the stock resting against your shoulder.

My problem is that you shouldn't suddenly be inaccurate because you zoomed out. All zooming should do is give you a magnified image around your reticule, not give you super accuracy. Some would try to rationalize it as being "realistic", to which I reply: you know Spartans have an interface with weapons, right? They don't actually put the gun up to their eye because they a not-so ignorable amount of hard-plastic and glass all over their faces. The Mjolnir armor just interfaces with the weapon and shows a "pop-up" of the scope on their visor. That's why weapons without scopes, such as ARs, just had a binocular zoom.

If you noticed however, the Assault Rifle does not "ADS". Although, I wouldn't think they'd need to put it right up to their eye. Having used a scope IRL, your face is generally pretty far away from it.
Regardless, the Smart Scope in Halo 5 still fits in the lore. Shouldering your weapon and aiming down the barrel will in general give you better control over your weapon.
To be honest, the only reason I'm discussing this right now is because I can't even play the beta. I don't have an Xbone to play it. This means that everything I know about it comes down to what I've been shown or what I've been told. As a perfect example, I've been misinformed up until now on exactly what weapons ADS is present on. With that in mind, know that I'm not just being silly if I say something stupid about it-- I probably got bad information.

My problem with ADS is that, in nearly every case of its addition, it includes an idiotic spread penalty on hip firing. Bloom was a concept where the cons outweighed the pros, this just sort of seems like an addition or evolution of that bad mechanic in this franchise.
There is literally no such difference. Or it's at least not noticeable enough to detect by just playing the game.
It's why I've maintained that what you're seeing is just a fancy zoom animation.
What I'm saying is that they've kept the bloom (bad idea) and added fancy zooms on top of it to make it seem like totally isn't the same thing. This is a problem of not changing, which is increasingly rare for Halo discussion.
I'm not following on how this is a problem. And the bloom is only on the automatic weapons, which has been in since CE.
Oh, I know about bloom's history. I argued with people on the Reach forums for hours over who, what, and when Halo was killed. Bloom applies to all weapons, it just "appears" on automatic and semi-automatic weapons because you can actually fire again before it resets. I technicality, but an important one none the less. It's important because of this: how many weapons in Halo 4 and Halo 5 are automatic or semi-automatic in comparison to those that have a much slower firing rate? Off the top of my head, I can think of only a handful of power weapons that wouldn't feel bloom to some effect. I can't even argue this well because I see so many conflicting views over ADS making firing more accurate, and to what degree it does so. It could be a matter of weapons having reticules that are too large and firing being too inaccurate because of it, or ADS does actually improve bullet-spread and it's just the same stupid idea I see everywhere I turn in the genre.

I don't get your point here. Halo 3's movement speed is almost the exact same as Halo 2's. The paramount reason Halo 3 was slower paced was because of the neutered weapon sandbox and far longer [+inconsistent] TTKs. Maps being smaller had nothing to do with it [it's pretty hard to beat Halo 2's small maps in... smallness]. Hell, map remakes like Last Resort and Blackout were slightly larger than Halo 2's. Again, my bad there. Default movement speed is not intensely so, but still slower than Halo 2 from what I remember from my marathon of the entire series last year (was fun and awful at the same time, by the way). By making movement slower, it makes the map seem bigger because it takes longer to get from one side to the other. It's a good way to increase scale without increasing scale. I stupidly said that Halo 3 was smaller, and I was wrong on that account. However, by increasing the map size and making movement slightly slower, it makes it much more "grand" feeling than the previous installment. Everything you listed is correct, movement speed was just supposed to be an example of how the games have had both large and small changes over the years that didn't really affect how good they were. Hmmm? In hindsight, it's probably a debatable claim. I meant that Halo Reach and Halo 4 are more alike in terms of gameplay than any two other games in the series. I wouldn't say there's much twitch elements to be found in Halo 5. It doesn't remind me of Quake [or, if you're willing to call the game a twitch shooter, CoD] at all.
I'm also going to say that ADS is not an inherently bad feature when it doesn't limit movement speed. It's struck a great balance of accuracy with the BR, possibly the best in the series, due to the spread tightening mechanic + FOV tradeoff. My problem with ADS is that, in nearly every case of its addition, it includes an idiotic spread penalty on hip firing. Bloom was a concept where the cons outweighed the pros, this just sort of seems like an addition or evolution of that bad mechanic in this franchise.

Das, if you want to avoid hick accents, stick to the metro areas of the state AKA a 20 mile radius of Atlanta.
But i haven't brushed up on my ebonics...
Then stick to main roads and between 10-20 miles from Atlanta.
Or I can just stay up north in Dutch country where people talk properly.
>properly Next time you roll through, hit up Towncentre Mall in Kennessaw. You won't believe you're sitting in fucking Georgia with how dull people speak.

Now, I don't know about you all, but my computer nearly combusts trying to play Knights of the Old Republic on high settings. I don't think I could play CS:GO without making it look like Runescape.
CS:GO is not very processor-intensive. You could manage decently well, I'll bet.
My computer is thirteen years old. When I say that I have problems running KOtoR, that's because this computer is a prebuilt from 2002.

It's not inaccurate, but "We Put the 'Fun' in Fundamentalist Extremism" is much more true.
whereabouts are you in GA?
Just north of the ATL, right on the border between hick-haven and the ghetto-gala.
ah. i live a little south of macon, but i commute to a college in macon
I've never really gone that way, Atlanta is about as far south as I go unless I'm heading to a different state. I wouldn't really call it a great place, but there are much worse cities in Georgia. For example, fuck Houston and the stupid way they pronounce it.
i live in houston county
LOL
Now I understand that Gwinnett can be confusing for some to say and La Fayette has a stupidly-unfrench pronunciation, but Houston is where I draw the line.
it was named after john houstoun (pronounced the way we pronounce houston,) a Son of Liberty and our 6th governor. so, that would be why we pronounce it differently from Houston, Texas
It would have been a much better to call it Houstoun or Houseton then, because our stupid city/county names are the first thing I hear from outsiders.

I was in Georgia for four days, and I can honestly say that I never want to go back to the humid hell hole full of improperly donked cars and wretched accents.
As a general rule, Georgia is like going back in time ten years with intense humidity, no large bodies of water, and ultraradicals. Imagine if 2 Fast 2 Furious just released yesterday and you will feel my pain.

the people on welfare?
Well I was just going to suggest we kill them all and then abolish welfare spending. . .
"The upper class: keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class: pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there...just to scare the shit out of the middle class."
Off topic, but I just adore Carlin. Hope he got his wish to watch people jack off and watch his descendants make asses out of themselves for all of eternity.
our system taxes income in a really weird way. i dont know the specifics, but think about it this way: x% of your first $10k, x% of your first 30k, x% of your first 60k, x% of your first 100k, etc, cumulatively. it's actually fairly lenient to the lower class and painful for those with high incomes.
Humor, especially standup, usually entails a certain degree of exaggeration. Essentially, the upper-class gets to enjoy the products of a capitalist society, the middle-class gets a taste of it but gets stuck with the lot menial labor, and the lower-class is there to remind the middle-class that tedious but comfortable is preferable to the alternative.
i got the joke. just figured i'd drop that information off is all, since it seemed relevant.
Tax brackets are still really wonky, but I'm not knowledgeable enough of the subject to give an idea of how to fix it.
