  1. I mainly only play RPG games on old PCs like C64, Amiga, MS-DOS and so on, only a few Non RPG games on the Amiga I can play because I used to have one in the late 80s and never really finished the games I had and for the sake of nostalgia. For instance the platformers for Amiga are still good, like Prince of Persia, Turrican, Another World, Flashback and my favorite (that no one on these forums will know of) "The Apprentice" by Rainbow Arts that I picked up at Electronics boutique with my monthly budget (about 1 -2 games a month - after I paid rent and utilities). I am going to pass on the C64 emulator as I was playing Might & Magic I and the side C floppy image was corrupt on every disk I had. That was a bummer but at least I was not too far from the start of the game so I went DOS Box from GOG instead. I do not know how may people play emulated C64 games, but I would suggest Atari 8 Bit or Apple II for the really ancient games. The RPGs are playable because there is so much content in therm to keep your eye on your characters and the game world you are exploring instead of saying "this looks like garbage" for the most part anyway. For instance: "Fate: Gates of Dawn" (which was never fully released on Amiga), you have up to 28 characters which I still think is a record, The game world is also massive with a starter dungeon that I got lost in on I think the 8th level. And yes I am bored. I wish I could put the finishing touch's on my base, but not on my backup PC running an i7 860 and I will not get a decent PC sooner than October.
  2. I think that 7DTD should access the GPU more so that it does not require a better CPU and you can get away with just buying a new GPU, keeping the tradition of buying a new GPU every 2 or so years. I have heard from a lot of guys here on the forum that 7DTD taxes the CPU more than other games. So this requires a full upgrade which would be Motherboard, CPU and Memory not just GPU like the old days of say a Voodoo to a Geforce 256 to a Geforce 2 to a Geforce 3 and so on. So if I read it correctly the HDRP will be taxing the GPU more.
  3. Is it all about eye candy these days. I love the graphics in the new unreal engine 5, but does game play really take the back seat.? Will this: Have the gameplay that 7 Days to Die and similar games that we are all used to because they are addicting and fun. I plan to play Ultima IV someday because I had it for my Amiga and never started it and I want to Play all Ultima games from IV up to VIII. I played Ultima III, Ultima VI and Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss. Here is some gameplay for Ultima IV. I can still play it, but I doubt many could.
  4. Well games have given me my love for firearms. The first was not even an FPS, it was Jagged Alliance 2 and Fallout Tactics. Earlier FPS did not try and make the gun play too realistic until around the first Ghost Recon. Even so, If I had some land in the country or woods I would want firearms and I agree that you can not teach yourself properly with games, movies and magazines or whatever. So I would hire a veteran of a war or someone with excellent skills to train me before I put a a single shell in that Italian Semi Auto Shotgun I like in Counterstrike Source. Also I have what I would call a cool idea for a steel house as well and even I am not an architect I can design it almost completely with professional software that I am good at but I still would not piece any of it together until I had an actual architect look over my design and did the usual building codes and structural integrity type things and made a set of blueprints a contractor would need to build it. I have seen a few people do this on YouTube and I have to consider how completely ridiculous that would be to do and they ended up with something not fit for a doghouse and way over budget do to mistakes. So I do agree with you, but the movie I watched was not really to be taken too seriously and on the other side it was computer games that gained my interest in guns
  5. Well I hate to sound like a psycho but I know I could do it if it was necessary. The reason I have never bought a gun to use as defense in my home or apartment is that I am too psychologically unstable and might shoot a neighbor that is really screwing with me. The only way I would get guns is if I had a lot of land to protect, but in a general suburban type house I could not be trusted with it. I asked my dad to loan me his .45 service pistol back around 1990 and he knew at that time I was psychotic and paranoid so he did not give it too me. I look back on that and can see how I was in a a dark time and having a gun would be dangerous. I cannot go into detail what I was thinking back then and even though it was kind of funny now I do still remember what a bad place I was in back then. I have to keep my love for guns in FPS's and tactical strategy games like Jagged Alliance or X-Com Type games. Still I sure would like to try out that Italian Benelli M4 semi auto shotgun in you can use in Counterstrike Source.
  6. Well it might help. The movie I believe is a comedy and not too be taken too seriously. I looked up key words in google but I cannot find the movie or TV show that had this scene in it. I have a decent knowledge of the different types of guns by playing a lot of FPS games but I agree with you in that it still takes training to know how to clean them, fire at targets, fire at moving targets and so on. There was an episode in The Walking Dead where Shane was training Andrea to use a pistol at a moving target and she was not doing so well, the episode was season 2, episode 6, "Secrets". As you can tell I have only learned about types guns and how to use them in the media and gaming. I have no real experience at all with any type of guns. I always blamed my father, who was a WWII veteran in the Pacific Theater and was a sharpshooter and BAR gunner in not teaching me how to use at least a pistol or hunting rifle. He did not even allow me to use BB Gun, I remember that when I was 20 or so my dad let me use the BB Gun and I made a target that looked like a person and my dad took the BB gun away. I guess that making a target that was not a bulls eye and instead cutting out a target out of cardboard that looked like a person was a little disturbing to my dad and I guess I could see that today but as a young man I did not think it was that bad.
  7. I also have no training in firearms, but would love to, ever since playing Jagged Alliance 2 I have been a gun nut. I don't know what movie it was, but there was a movie where a kid was being held hostage and without any training with firearms he used his endless FPS gaming to be able to use the firearms enough to get himself free of the hostage takers. He may have even learned to take cover with games like Call of Duty and used some tactical maneuvers in Counterstrike. It was pretty funny that his dad thought playing those games was a complete waste of time until he walked out of the place he was being held hostage with no help whatsoever.
  8. The 2 taped magazines would be a bit better than swapping mags you may have in whatever pocket real combatants carry them in. Its just pull it out and put the other side in. This may take half (or possibly less) the time to add a new magazine. Also you may only have 3 extra magazines to take, so you would be taking 4 extra magazines instead because the taped magazine would be attached to your first magazine you are going to use and this would not require any extra storage space. I also imagine that any modern army such as in the US and UK among others that would not allow this as it looks a bit silly and I'm sure there would be rules you would have to abide by in these armies that are very strict in what you do, possibly even in a firefight. I guess in game the taped magazines would only work in a realism overhaul mod that does away with vanilla weapon mods. Your right in that it would not be necessarily good in vanilla unless both magazines count as one in a loaded gun. It would make no sense seeing how if it only takes a tiny bit of time to reload your guns in game anyway and that you do not take magazines in your backpack either, just bullets and shells.
  9. I am using clip instead of magazine because I always thought they were basically the same. With a clip you drop the empty clip and put in another for a pistol and in an assault weapon you drop the empty magazine and inset another magazine, in the same way, so I did not think to say clips for pistols and magazines for assault rifles. OK I just did as google search and I see the difference.
  10. Everyone in the free world (other than you know who) want them to win their country back. Well the double magazine in the image could be a mod or just crafting it with duct tape early on as its realistic. I think that extending the capacity of your weapons in the game with the weapon mod is a bit ridiculous with some weapons, as you would have to alter the magazine in some way and this would not be something you could do realistically. I always add the mod anyway of course but the double magazine in the photo with some duct tape could work in the Tactical Rifle and AK47. I do not know if the M60 in game is supposed to be belt fed or not but the drum magazine mod in game could work in the M60, just like the M249 which I think could carry 200 rounds but could be altered easier than a standard magazine based weapon. This could in game take less time than a reload but would only work as a capacity of twice the ammo as the magazine and would not take any more time than a reload, but only in a realistic mod I think it would be useful or just using duct tape early on as a crafting option. One way of doing it, but in a very organized army this may not even be allowed. I believe I have seen this in the 1962 WWII TV show Combat!
  11. I hate the newer Iron spikes. I use them on a temp base because they work but they take way longer to repair because it is hard to find the right spot on them to point your hammer to repair them. Is it just me or are the iron spikes incredibly difficult to repair with the stone axe, hammer, nailgun? I really miss wood log spikes as they were a perfect defense and were easy to repair.
  12. Probably seen it in movies. I guess that maybe the magazines are created that way at an ammo dump or whatever, as I doubt that they are made on a assembly line. But you did answered my question in that it does not happen that way and that the clips are all you take in the field, which does make sense of course. If I did not see it in TV or movies I would not have even thought of it.
  13. The opposite of the OP: I played A12 somewhere around 2015 and I had no clue what to do and died every couple of minutes. This was before they had tutorials in say A16. The biomes were close the first time I spawned which was on the edge of the burnt forest and the plains and I hated that. I had no luck in doing anything so I finally find a house as this seemed safe and thought is was strange that they were so far apart for some reason. So the house gets overrun after dark in what seemed like seconds. I hated the game so much I did not try it again until A16. In other words it seemed so impossible to play at A12, that it was not enjoyable or fun in any way. I will say A16 was great but A12 to me was a joke that the developers seemed to make so impossible there was no point in playing. This of course was coming from games like Half Life 2, FEAR and Far Cry type FPSs I loved, but I decided to try it as it was on sale and I then turned into the AVGN when playing.
  14. Have you ever added bullets to your clip instead? This would take some time if you have say a box of 7.62 or 5.56 and you added a bullet on top of bullet into your clip, that would be the most economical way but would take a lot of time. That is why revolvers and double barrel shotguns may not be worth using in a close firefight. A bolt action rifle in a close fight would be worse than any of them. Probably why you get a pistol along with your rifle in most loadouts in a lot of games.
  15. I am too busy collecting resources to build my base than to worry if the food situation is more difficult. I prefer it the way it is now, but then I spend 90% of my time just trying to build my final base. Even bloodmoon is just a thorn in my side that keeps getting in the way of building. I will still do bloodmoons every 7 days to keep the game the way the developers made it, so I don't complain about frequency of the bloodmoons, Its just that the more repairs I do to my initial base and 2nd temp base means less resources for the end base and more grinding - which I do not mind either - I like to grind so I can appreciate my final base more even if it take 100 days to do so. I guess it would be cool to have sliders to adjust all survival aspects of the game, just not for me, I like it the way it is - I guess I am easy to please. I guess it depends on your type of play. I prefer base building / tower defense myself.
