Dragon Rising has been released

[VanhA-ICON 11]

Yeah Sesdelta: make no assumptions. Lockdown sucks just as much as Vegas, but Vegas goes completely over the top in it's unrealistic setup and is the most recent game so i tend to use that game as an example most of the time.

Sometimes one should not take them so serious.

I play sometimes Vegas2 with friend of mine over PS3 network and we have a blast drinking beer and just enjoying the ride.

Sure it ain't as realistic as it used to be but we look for a fun ride.

Then I can go back to A2 and have that sensation of shitting miself alone in a bush somewhere... :D

And to be back on topic:

DR is excrement and I fart in CM's general direction.

(Don't have the game though, haha)

[Bulldogs 10]

I still enjoy vegas for a bash, just like I'm still playing other R6 games, but I don't consider Vegas an R6 game, it's more of a fun action coop game. No real realism there.

Lockdown, on the other hand, was one of the worst things to happen to.. well.. gaming in general. Horrible, horrible game. The only thing good about that game were the occasional terrorists with Aussie accents... cracked me up every time.

Maybe we should create a Rainbow Six: Nostalgia thread before we derail this topic entirely?

In this case you shouldnt take DR so serious either, and look at it for a fun ride too.

Hell, who cares its the sequel to Operation Flashpoint, lets just all play, shut up and enjoy ourselves? Fuck no.

Rainbow used to be just as much about realism as OFP and ArmA, and what Ubisoft has done to R6 is just as unacceptable as what Codemasters has now done to OPF.

I can't see how you can despise one and accept the other.

I can't look past the R6 title. You shouldnt either. It is supposed to be a Rainbow Six game, and it just isnt. Just like DR isnt a worthy Operation Flashpoint game.

[pj[cz] 2]

Just tried to give DR a second chance DLed the patch and.... well and it still does suck the same way. It feels to me like original flashpoint got drunk and had sex with call of duty. And call of duty while being flashpoints bitch than went on an alcohol drinking spree, because it was sorry about flashpoint knocking it up. And voila 8 years later DR is born. No wonder the game feels like having dawn syndrom hardcoded, every soldier has parkinsons and every AI is braindead...

'cause Vegas, as unrealistic as it is, is still fun. DR on the other hand is just not a very good production.

You're right of course.

I was just being annoying. :rolleyes:

Fun is subjective you know. It doesnt mean the same thing to you and me.

Personally there is nothing fun about Vegas to me at all, even if it wasnt an Rainbow Six game.

So saying 'it's fun' doesn't mean a thing.

[bascule42 10]

This thread's no fun anymore. :(

[Aeneas2020 10]

This thread's no fun anymore. :(

Agreed

[jblackrupert 14]

If you aren't already banned get over to the DR forum quick before the lock.

Fun is back again

This thread's still alive? Talk about flogging a dead horse. Or dragon.

I heard that flogging your dragon too much can make you go blind?

[Zipper5 74]

Gotta love Templar's post. He's such a sellout. He mentions a heavily modified ArmA II, but nowhere does he mention what exactly is modified. He even complains about it being at night instead of daytime. What the hell? :confused:

And then there's this:

First and foremost, arma2 cant be played vanilla! Its too broken...

I play ArmA II most of the time in a vanilla state, mainly due to mission making. He has no idea what he's talking about.

It's really sad to see people still clutching on to some glimmer of hope that DR will be anything worth salvaging for Codemasters.

[Aeneas2020 10]

read my post above...all people who love DR have clearly been blinded by the overbeating of their dragons that was first exposed by Rasden. This is why they cannot see what a mess of a game it is.

[bascule42 10]

ffs..thread close before i could post. (well I wrote it so im damned if Im gonna delete it!!)

"...armA 2 can't be played vanilla"?

What? Cockspoddle! What, you think we all just sat there looking at the box waiting for ACE2? Of course once you've played ACE2 its hard to go back. The only mods i used before were the mods giving us the maps from ArmA1 & Operation Flashpoint, (thats Everon NOT Skira). Mods for A2 enhance the game, not make it work.

That's MODS by the way. Actual addons, things that add to the game and not change existing parts of it.

ArmA 2: Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

Dragon Rising: Jar Jar Binks.

(In all fairness my nephew, 7 at the time loved Jar Jar)

Some one do a big battle in daylight to show him what it's like....

[JdB 151]

This "battle" was over before it had even begun, when the "ACE2" mention came up a few seconds into the first video. A proper mod. Let's put it down like a modder would:

class Proper_game
{

       class Realistic_game
	{
	ArmA2=0.85;
               DR=0;
	};

class Modding_ability_to_make_realistic_game
	{
	ArmA2=1;
               DR=0;
	};

class Modding_ability_left_out_to_extort_some_more_through_DLC
	{
	ArmA2=0;
               DR=1;
	};

class This_game_sucks
	{
               sound[]={"dragonrising\pissedoffcustomers",1.0,1};
               soundContinuous=1;
	};
         };

Lol classic! Wish i could put that in my sig some how

"This game (DR) is not worth the electricity of my PC" i laughed my ass off with that:D

[Zipper5 74]

Let me put it this way. There is no other game on console that will allow you to pick up squadmates in a helo, land snipers on a hill, insert your MG team behind enemy lines order your guys into a tank and have them assault the enemy, rush your medic to a wounded soldier. If you are into that kind of thing, this game is for you. If you want a solid shooter only, good graphics, play solo and want no MP connection issues at all and don't care about this kind of tactics, then this is probably not for you.

Funny, last time I checked, you can't do half of those things on the console because it doesn't come with a mission editor. :confused:

[froggyluv 2136]

It seems the only way to get an sort of reply from a higher-up there is to mention Arma2, LOL!

Patches, dedi's, and sort of long-term plan requests go completely unanswered.

Not to single anyone out, but I've played a few of those roaming spawn missions and there are some major problems. If you think AI driving is bad in Arma2, well lets just say DR's driving makes Arma2's look glorious. Try ordering your armoured AI squads in DR someplace else on the Island and your in for a drunken driving treat. 1 out 6 actually made it close once but they swerve uncontrollably with zero obstacles in their way like drunken geese sprinting at the skating rink.

And spawning... don't even get me started. Cleared out a sector with my small 4 man firesquad and started to advance up a mountain only to start taking fire from directly behind me -checked the map and 20 enemy units had magically appeared outta nowhere. That hearby reduced the game from Tac-shooter to Arcade shooter.

[max power 21]

DR has at least one thing going for it. The sound is very, very good!
