The Hidden World of Gaming's Least Popular Genre

[@themumfortofflying6415]

It's not your typical cup of tea, but there's this 2d ww2 rts on steam called Firefight. Its dev team is just one guy who's been working on it for 10 years and I genuinely find it extremely fun and wish more people knew about it.

[@abdou.the.heretic]

Bro I played that game waay back on my iPhone, also a very old one on windows XD damn it felt like a legit victory to win a battle, good time!

[@themumfortofflying6415]

@abdou.the.heretic I'm so glad I'm not the only one who played it! I have a lot of really good memories with that game.

[@abdou.the.heretic]

@@themumfortofflying6415 SIR, YES SIR!

[@Zen-tv3od]

Firefight is surprisingly in depth and super awesome

[@ouawawawaea365]

Been playing that game for a year now, It's like a modern Close Combat game.

[@Texshy]

BOBB is basically old school Ghost Recon. Also BF3 Reality Mod devs have the herculean task of modding an engine that was specifically designed to not be modded.

[@RyboltTech]

Love it, reminds me of SOCOM US NAVY SEALS

[@JackWse]

Kind of old school Ghost recon, but somehow the AI from graw still infects it! In anything that brings flashbacks to dealing with the AI in that game, the friendly AI, might actually need to be burned.. that game could have been so good, if it wasn't for that one thing that it desperately needed in order to be functional... That somehow wasn't a problem in the previous titles sadly for its efforts.. and then also needed to be used that way since you couldn't character swap.. why grin! Why!

[@P0LARTV]

In all fairness to the BF3 mod, the last time i played BF4 my sniper rifle turned into a comically small p226 and my hands disappeared

BOBB is so jank but I just can't stop loving it. It's peak EA Access masterpiece

[@Real_Claudy_Focan]

BOBB seems really good in fact ! The sandbox potential to create scenarios seems insane !

[@WOLFkraut]

It'd be interesting to see you cover Darkest Hour: Europe '44-'45. It's a WW2 tactical shooter, so maybe not your thing, but it's a mod built off the original Red Orchestra (Ostfront, not RO2). Been in development as long as PR basically and criminally unknown, despite still having at least a full server every day.

[@CMerig]

I know I've been a hater but good video slorgs. BF3 Reality Mod needs more love.

[@SHINYREDBULLETS]

Great coverage of these! Appreciate you taking the time so i didn't have to ;) Also props for the Looper mention - absolutely one of the best time travel movies ever done imo! (also one of the few films where Bruce Willis was *acting* instead of showing up, its like, this and 12 Monkeys and Die Hard)

[@lukasderstecher4582]

You should try insurgency sandstorm w/ the ISMC mod. Back in 2021(?) that was peak PVE on karmakuts servers with his AI mod that made the enemys a absolute meance. I remember doing a mission with 4 random guys dropping airstrikes and clearing each objective super slowly, because a single mistake would get you killed. Not as hard anymore nowadays but still really fun time.

[@MalikShaunte]

[@JackWse]

Remember when games were doing cool things like having the reticle be bound to the weapon view model, and allowing like free aim or other cool alternate timeline evolutions of traditional gaming presentation that attempted very simple things in the advancement of immersion and mechanics and.. Now I'm just happy if the guy has some sort of wrist when holding a pistol, and I can just turn The health bars and the hit markers and all the nonsense off.. and I'm never happy These days lol.. How do you go through all the trouble to pick killer stock systems for a handful of specific things that if you just applied the the same philosophy to the other things you would be home free! It's so much better with tactical shooters though, just in general the bar is so much higher.. practically drops off the face of the earth with any other genre of game.

[@SuicidalChocolateSK]

[@Zoraxon]

I think I remember seeing a video by the channel "Random Madness" where he did an interview with the Dev for Operator. It's like, one dude that's 18-19 years old doing it kinda for gits and shiggles.

[@vectorinteractiveoffical]

I was 18 at the time, I think I botched that interview haha. We’re a team of 3 now, we’re doing it to make one of the best tactical shooters on the market and continue to innovate the genre

Black one reminds me of a game years ago on the playstation, SOCOM Navy Seals, it cam with a little headset and instead of the pop up menu, you just said key phrases and they would do it. Move the group to certain points, defend, etc. but when your team was killing enemies before you even seen them that was what triggered that memory, loved that game.

[@vectorinteractiveoffical]

Operator is clearly Esports ready. You better to pro @slorgs!

[@johnderat2652]

This genre is extremely popular. Try games like Exanima or Mordhau, those genres are way more underrated.

[@AquaMidget]

With Operator, you need to add mags to your loadout in the "Magazine Menu" when customizing your guns underneath the presets edit: Also forgot to mention that you can press H to open a healing menu to heal bleeds and use morphine to make your character stop being a wimp in whatever limb you select

[@CliffDiverBOA]

Contain has a bit in common with Beautiful Light, even down to a hacking minigame where you enter command lines. I wonder which inspired what or if its all coincidence.

[@gjdriessen1]

Love the humor and attention to these hidden "gems"

[@styxriverr5237]

BOBB scratches that classic Ghost Recon itch. I do like the lone wolf missions like trying to escape from being captured.

[@josefkun7466]

BOBB is janky af but so full of features already. You can micromanage everything and everyone. You can play in 3rd person or 1st person view . You have ground branch level of customization. It took me 1 hour to set up my whole team because I was changing every detail. Once helios fixes some of them bugs and replaces the placeholders it will be one of the best and unique tactical games out there imo.

[@bikertimmi]

even though i already watched it i apparently forgot to comment. this is a comment for the algorithm

[@Thraakull]

I really wish that BF 3 reality mod was playable - imho it looks really awesome and since first PR is on Battlefield 2 engine, I then feel like that BF 3 makes sense especially with destruction and all that and it imho seems like a nice sim-cade crossbreed, like nothing hardcore but still shit load of fun

[@yellowsaurus4895]

I mean it is perfectly playable aside from the crash issues, it's just that the playerbase is so small you're basically limited to playing during the weekly scheduled events

Honestly, Open Mod looks better than many other games, and acutally is an existing game. They just need to improve 3d animations, improve UI to be more similar to Tarkov and Arena Breakout (just because it's easy to use and understand what you're editing), and it could be a real treat

[@rantanplan178]

*Contain* - a postapocalyptik landscape, where you fight anomalies, need to find "something" and then extract, while the process of finding something includes interacting with virtual computers using a linux like opearting system? Am I the only one seeing this idea covered by an upcoming game named "beautiful light"? As if it is the same development team, who split up in the past due to some differences, so both decided to develop their on vision of a game with these three properties.

[@tabernaclejones6115]

i play tactical shooters and flight sims mostly,,,and flight sims are immensely more niche compared with tac shooters .. the main issue i have found is tactical shooters for the most part (actually the same goes for flight sims too) is that they mostly if not entirely only release for pc. its why i started pc gaming 10 years ago actually...i think if they figure out a latency free mouse and keyboard solution for console, than the console homies can get some proper tactical games my point is that i think its only a niche genre bc the price tag of admission is so high...i know i was dying for a actual tactical game when i was playing like call of duty on ps3..

[@Petruha6472]

I recommend trying out Forgotten Hope 2 a mod for Battlefield 2 in afternoon the servers are almost full sometimes the player count is more than 90

[@yebut12]

@@judahlicharowicz5437 but saying that without context that is always crucial hurts others and theirs work. Always when context matters you have to include it or you are not reliable.

*Battlefield 3 Mod* - As someone who spent years in a leading role of one the largest Project Reality communities (regards to Wicca) I sadly have only one opinion about this mod. Too little too late. By the time this mod is on a level, where it actually is a playable and enjoyable experience on an almost daily basis, the graphics will be even more outdated, then the Project Reality graphics were, when development on Battlefield3 Mod started. Sorry guys. This is leading nowhere. Challenge my opinion! :)

[@Dirt47]

Shoutout moidawg lol

[@adamlach6572]

Oh man there isn't one genre with higher overall quality of games. From less hardcore series like absolutely awesome Ghost Recon (i love that every entry is different), to total legends like ArmA series, to some lesser known gems like Zero Hour. Even "mediocre" titles like The Regiment are really good. There is something for everyone - i remember being blown away by scope of missions in Conflict Global Terror, or the tight atmosphere of legedary Socom 2. Even on stupid PSP you have amazing Socom games. Hell even on GBA Rainbow Six is legit good game. I can name only a few stinkers like psx spec ops games (or psx rainbow six). But overall whatever tactical game you'll pick it's probably gonna be at least a proper (not IGN) 7/10 game. And with games like ArmA 3 you are talking about years worth of gameplay.

Is Contain ripping off Beautiful Light or is it the other way around?

Credit where it's due to open mod, I kind of dig the way they set up their settings menu.. that is absolutely worlds better than your average unreal any number of A's release.. and night and day compared to unity which is just you know.. if you have a setting at all in unity you're kind of lucky these days. And then you know.. It probably doesn't work if you do. God that engine is garbage. I would crack up if this was on unity, but that would be even more props to the devs. Now if only they knew what contrast was.. a moment of silence for those game developers that have been near blinded by bleach..

[@JackWse]

I believe the lack of contrast filter is called breath of the wild chic, not to be confused with from soft chic, or 8th generation vomit chic.. as breath of the wild is clearly the worst offender and would be unfair to the others.. On a side note, I kind of wonder if this disgusting trend came out of the generations of esports gamers that are constantly messing with the MIP bias, maximum gamma blasting the screen and running 4x3 content in 16x9 for the.. competitive edge.. The only thing that throws the theory off is that ever since digital cameras, modern television has done the same thing often.. But at least there was a reason for that lol or like.. you could come up with a reason for that.. The only other theory I have is that an entire generation of game developers had their eyes saturated in bleach? And they just don't know any better?

[@bushcat274]

I'm glad i didn't invest time into Project Venice as it looks pretty but unreliable, like a hippy mad fairy chick.

Until then i guess its one in the bank..

[@JackWse]

I wasn't going to say it, but after the play dead button.. Open mod.. This is like a best of collection of Garry's mod, and I mean that in a good way.. I wish more game developers would have that kind of mentality even if it just ends up being a complete mess.. I feel like I'm going to regret those words at some point, but usually a game that gives off so many red flags... Like immediately starts beating you over the head with them before the gaping chasm and.. it's just it's they just seem to be like sitting there.. oh they're there... But like... I mean fucking ground brunch took over a decade just to get prone.. This has physics base prone button lol The ultimate prone!

[@JackWse]

Holy f, it is on unity... But I guess it it started as a mod for rust or something? Not confirmed.. so either way.. It still might be the most user-friendly facing unity engine PC project that I've ever seen just from that snippet alone.. with unreal, it's unacceptable that everything is grouped into these arbitrary buckets that are often independent systems for visual quality.. with unity, you literally have to do every single one by hand, there are no cvars. Now granted it's actually not the biggest deal to put them into a game menu, if you're doing so before the compile in the editor.. But most unreal devs can't even be bothered to check a box for a developer's console so you can input them in the game without having to read me only a file and manually input them.. and most unity projects I've seen in the last couple of years, they don't even have settings lol and you can't fix that on your own. So again credit where it is due, I know basic competency is a low bar but.. It is a bar.. and and most people seem to trip on it and even still don't notice.
