Pavlov IMO is the spiritual successor

Seems to be a VR game, so unless VR suddenly gets a lot cheaper and a lot better, Pavlov will never replace CS. Looking at the first few seconds of the first video on Steam for Pavlov ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/555160/Pavlov_VR/ ) shows a very low-skilled encounter as well. If they are trying to attract CS players, they need to show it's a game that shows skills, not like that.

I feel that you should actually play the game before having such a strong opinion. The store video doesnt reflect most gameplay.

Hell no. The game is basically becoming some garrys mod hybrid mess. https://store.steampowered.com/app/496240/Onward/ Onward is way better experience.

It’s just VR counterstrike with tons of maps and mods. That’s a good thing because it shows that it has a big community.

I also like Onward better, but Onward is more like a realistic military sim than a spiritual Counter Strike

I don't see how being negative allow one to not back anything, I can say something sucks, but I'd have to explain why. And people will get called for shitting on something, see the GP comment. I'd even say you're less likely to be called out for being negative without giving an explanation than being positive without giving an explanation. Though it's usually easier to explain why something sucks than why something i…

This isn't about being negative or critical. It's about being negative all the time . It's about labelling yourself as cynical and making all of your schtick be about that negativity. I see plenty of well-thought out criticism on hacker news and reddit. I see excellent deconstructions and refutations which show excellent balance and are clearly the work of a lot of thought and rumination. This isn't about those posts…

> I think your point grossly misses the point of what my post (and indeed the two parents) were really getting at.

Most likely.

What areas does CS:GO fall short in when compared to 1.6?

There's not a lot of difference in gameplay, but CSGO destroyed the sense of community and enabled toxic players. Prior to CSGO, there was a vibrant community of player-hosted servers, run by clans. The best of them had active admins who would kick/ban cheaters, trolls, and toxic people. It was hard to find good community servers, but once you did, it felt like home. It's much easier to get into a match now, due to t…

Yes. You didn't only choose game when playing CS 1.6 you chose servers. I had a couple, me and most players from my region used, then a couple for trolling (no cheating just trying bizarre tactics, spamming the chat or slaying noobs). We also ran servers for special occasions, social circles etc. It was fun.

You know no-one is forcing you to play CS in your browser, right? Why is it so offensive to you that this exists and someone else is finding joy in playing it? Why does HN love to rag on web technologies so much?

I simply stated that downloading dozens of gigabytes from a link is far from ideal. You also lose performance, features, community, and everything a place like Steam gives you. > Why does HN love to rag on web technologies so much? HN is quite pro-web and there are dozens of startups based on the web. Nevertheless, my counter is: why does "the web" try to recreate existing technologies and operating systems?

Why not? Why is it so offensive to you? You know you can just ignore it and move on, right? You don't have to be an asshole and shit on everything you see.

Different style fps's, 1.6 was low latency, the newer versions of basically any fps trade off latency for better graphics and better physics.

It's quite easy to get 200+ fps on CS:GO, and that's with max graphics settings or very close.

Doesn't fix input latency due to physics, different style games similar to the new quake

FYI the creators are actually charging $2/week subscription for this game. Profiting from a cracked software definitely crosses some moral boundaries.

Does it? It has been over 20 years. Should a creator be able to profit indefinitely off a single work? 20 years is long enough for a patent to expire. The fact that copyright outlasts patents is really just a corruption bug in our legal system.

Patent does not apply here, copyright does. And the US copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author, and for companies, 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever is shorter.
