RELOAD RELOADWhat's the best direction to reload when you're shooting offscreen?
>>736766059Down so I can pretend I'm reloading like in Goldeneye
>>736766059>Boss introduction >That slow heart beat before the frantic chaseShit is so kino
>>736766059I typically move left, but I think optimally, you should be the shortest distance from the cursor.HotD2 is more about shot placement than fire rate though, so in thia particular case it doesn't matter.
>>736766548Wow, I really mangled that first sentence.Optimally speaking, you would go towards the edge the cursor is already closest to.
>>736766059put your finger over the muzzle and shoot straight
>>736767148that's brilliant
It's best to just tilt the gun the direction you've already got it tilted so you can quickly snap back, but in a pinch pointing down to guarantee you're offscreen will generally work.Also semi-related I wanted to complain about this fucking thing. I tried it at a bowling alley out of curiosity for the giant screen and on top of a lot of the design of the game feeling like mid-2010s Console AAA design translated to an arcade game in a bad way, the reloading reinvented the wheel in the dumbest way possible. You have to physically cock the gun like you would a real glock, which is awkward in the thick of an enemy encounter and makes your arms/wrists tired pretty quickly unless you hip-fire most of the time (which is insane given that the game is REALLY long). What's worse is that they didn't balance it at all: you can just hold the trigger down to fire at a steady pace and cock the gun when you're at 1-2 bullets remaining to reload with ZERO DOWNTIME which turns the game from being a bit frustrating due to how massive the play area is to being stupidly easy 80% of the time because you can just spray in a game not built for it.
>>736767148What the fuck anon I just shot my finger off, why you would suggest this?
>>736766059I always found a quick verticle snap to be the quickest movement I can make with a lightgun - all in the wrist - so that's what I've always done.
>>736767456In addition: this game sucks total ass. Tomb Raider Arcade is a poorly-designed game but competently made, this thing is just dogshit.
>>736766059I'm a horizontal enjoyer even though it's objectively unoptimal. Inner wrist motion depending on which way you're facing.
Time Crisis is still the best
>>736767239That...isn't common knowledge?The fuck?We all did that, me and my friends.
>>736769053I really need to play TC5 at some point, I've heard it's great. That said in terms of co-op specifically my GOAT is Deadstorm Pirates & Goldstorm Pirates (played the latter in Japan last year), though you can definitely tell they were not balanced for solo play.
>>736766059i used to point to the side but i accidentally hit someone in the face so now i point downward
>>736766059Up.
Manually pumping the shotgun to reload in HOTD3 is some of the rawest shit to ever be put in an arcade.
>>736767148This was the real pro shit. I rarely used it tho cause I was always playing alone so would dual wield the guns instead
>>736766059>his gun doesn't reload automaticallylollmao even
