I mean... an Initiative based "turn" order or time unit system isn't nearly as bad as a classic TBRPG, but it gets old and gimmicky.

Fpsrpg needs to just die as a genre. They always end up relying on sponges

That's an idiotic statement.

Every game relies on sponges.

I wouldn't say that FO4 was a great shooter, it relies on the trope of just giving more dangerous enemies more HP without changing how they fight or think

Oh I absolutely agree the AI needs a revamp

That's what mods are for

I was able to kill almost any enemy with an SNG with the bleed effect

I would say it was a mediocre shooter at best

Every game has some sort of sponginess, but fpsrpg has to rely on that dialed up to eleven

Not really

Good FPSRPG rely on new and interesting enemies with varied abilities and reactions

Which is, honestly, just good games in general

Good thing nobody actually knows how to make enemies interesting any more

Oof

Although i suppose titanfall 2 had some interesting enemy variations, limited as they were

The sad part is it's not hard to make dangerously competent AI

In fact the difficulty is making the AI retarded enough for players to compete

And nobody wants an ai that provides challenge these days

It's sad but true.

I mean no matter how competent the AI, Raiders or Gunners aren't gonna be much of a threat if you mulch them with a minigun as you stomp around in T-45+

But I wish there were more sniper and stealth enemies

>Not using the Space marine armor mod
Absolutly heretical

Like you're walking around and some Gunner Sniper sees you and fucking brains you

So you start a fight at like 10% hp because lmao you didn't see it coming

Ammo variants used by specific enemies would have been nice too, with a smart AI selection system

Good thing is

Games aren't good anymore

Not setting your HP to 1/1 once you exit the vault, fucking casual

So for instance, a Grenadier with a pulse grenade would pop it at your PA and force you out of it, then chuck incendiaries

Fuck

I forgot I was on speaker

So the wife just hears "Attention all libtards"

🤦

Or a Sniper would load AP to punch through your helmet

Theres a reason i enjoy tarkov, and its because half of the time they overtweak the ai so that a bunch of shitlords start pushing you whilst some of them run suppressive fire

^

the Hunting shotgun was my favorite weapon in NV due to versatility of the 12ga and ease of maintainence

though once you got the right perk you could repair it with about any longgun, or atleast any shotgun

Honestly a good combat change for Fallout would be Stimpacks give you only 50% up-front HP, then HOT, and too many will actively poison you and deduct HP instead of healing
