Project Reality Forums

Before playing Project Reality, I used to be a very careless gamer, running and gunning just to get a kill or two. However, after experiencing Project Reality, I've taken a much slower and careful approach in most FPS games, remembering to check my blind spots, keeping a closer eye on the radar, and even began to use the Voice function in other games.
Now, I want to ask you guys, How has playing Project Reality influenced your decision making in other video games, or real life?

Yeah I tend to copy my PR play style a little bit in other games... however I have to say since I played 1.0 beta everything else I boot up seems like a finely coded pile of ****, so now I mostly just don't play other games lol...

The only way PR influenced my decision making with regard to other video shooters is that I stopped playing other shooters altogether.

Same here, after PR I considerably toned down playing other FPS. I gave up on BF3 after 2-3 months with disgust. If I care to install some other FPS it's basically for the story or because that game means something in the "video game history". Other than that once you've sniffed PR's teamplay you can hardly go back.

Something else, though: I found that I honed my shooting skills slightly after playing COD4 on 3 particular servers. Those servers enforced a set of very strict rules (for example: no nadespam, no wallspam, no jumpspam, no tubespam, etc) that essentially made COD4 not a "CODdy" game. The gameplay used to be rather slow AND dynamic, tense and very tactical.

Now I've played PR for many years, every time I try playing a game of CoD at a friends house, I camp in a corner, behind a concrete wall, with my sights up.

Its the only tactically viable thing to do if soldiers can spawn and appear behind you and you have no backup. Just wait it out till backup arrives... Backup is coming, isn't it?


...mongol...

U'm, what other games do thou speak of??? I only know of PR and only play PR.

Yeah. It's most noticeable in games where the team is important. If I play one of those games I'll be like "How can you be that bad/stupid/retarded?"

It was a long time ago I played COD,I only played with my friends and luckily my friends was good.Ccontrary to mongol I played offensice and saw openings here and there and succesfully flanked leaving me top score most of the time. If your team is bad in COD it doesn't mean much it's worse in other games.

I really can't play other shooters and enjoy them. Do not get me wrong some of them are actually decent if you are in the mood for something different. However, the lack of the community which makes PR great puts the nail in the coffin for "the others." Although I gave up on Call of Duty before I found PR. And BF3 hasn't been played since before Christmas.

I use tactics more now because of PR but it hasn't spoiled anything for me in other games. I still love playing BF3, I can dig games like Bioshock. Those games do GAME better but for my hardcore, buddy soldier shooter I still have to set time aside for PR. Nothing out there has the same feel as this.

Same here, I went from PR to Black OPS for a while, playing crouch only servers with strict rules. It made it a completely different game. It still sucked compared to PR but at least made it playable when PR was not for me.

Yeah PR has ruined almost all Modern FPS shooters for me (They're honestly turning to shit anyway)

All I can play by this point are shooters that are not trying to be realistic, but when I do play them I notice that I take them waaaaay less seriously then what I used to as its the only way I can have fun with them.
