If I can post again without any forum errors then I'll slap myself to oblivion and cook myself with hot water and Joe Biden.

UPDATE: well shit

No reload animation on the pulse rifle? Does the model not contain a magazine or anything?

[ZikShadow]

Well, there is a magazine, the animation itself is the one to blame.

The animation is based on the M16, the left hand holding the weapon is further than the pulse rifle model i'm using, same thing with aiming, therefore, i had to improvise.

Laser sight for aiming, a simple Goldeneye 007 style reloading for the animation.

I see, it's possible to redo the entire animation set from scratch right? I made a basic IK rig on the FP arms a while back, if you send over the model I could try it out proper.

Welcome back Miko, would of said earlier but Simple Machines are good.

What's everyones opinion on Sleeping Dogs, if anyone played that? The Definitive Edition is coming out soon so yeah.

It's really underrated imo, I don't know why everyone says it's "mediocre". Voice acting was pretty bad and it was kinda short but otherwise I really liked it. The DLC was horrendous though, only ones worth getting is the SWAT pack, and the two story packs.

I found sleeping dogs charming. Wei Chen is an interesting protag but the previous true crime games did better with player choice in story. In sleeping dogs the ending and story is predetermined. You can't decide to be a triad or a cop.

All around the gameplay, side activities and story are still enjoyable. I pre-ordered it way back when and don't regret it.

Watched Nova play through it back in 2012. Looked amazing and the combat looked hilarious in a good way. Never picked it up though.

I really enjoyed Sleeping Dogs, struggled the whole thing with a keyboard though.
But look at this Triad Wars unvieling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQn4OvRrK0A

[mikkomies]

Triad Wars is the stupidest fucking thing ever. Why on earth would they do this? When i played sleeping dogs i didn't think to myself "Gee wizz this would be so better if it was online with lag, poor animations, menus everywhere, ugly XP everywhere, lag, other players ruining stuff, lag and everything else that can completely break my focus on the story and enviroment in countless ways.

Fucking shit i say.

Anyhoo. Last days of bouncer training this weekend.

Isn't it in closed beta? I think people are kind of jumping the shark calling it a travesty already. I remember playing the closed-beta for APB and it was a similar lag-fest.

No even if the game would be good on a technical level, it would still spell disaster. Have you played the true crime games and Sleeping Dogs? When ever in those games did you wish it would be like APB?

True crime isn't a big enough series to warrant these kinds of spinoffs.

Now i'm not saying you can't try new things. Online in a true crime game would be sweet if done right. Imagine cops and robbers. But Triad Wars is going in the wrong direction with full force and no brakes.
