Esf 1.2 Is Out!

<div class="IPBDescription">Finally...</div> In case you didn't know, ESF is a DragonBall Z-based mod. Yeah, I know, the show sucks, but that doesn't stop this from being fun. It's also one of the best-looking Half-Life mods I've seen.

Get 1.2 <a href='http://www.esforces.com/getfile.php' target='_blank'>here</a>, and rtfm.

    Why oh why do they make mods based on children's cartoons? I'll never understand.

    That's an awesome idea, doom. Tigger ftw


    I always wanted a transformers mod though. Considering all the games suck ( even the latest ps2 one)

    Transformers whould be friggin hard to model and animate. I think best left to the pros, but feel free to prove me wrong.

    The ESF website has tonnes of DL links, the PHL link doesn't work as far as I can tell... Im torrenting the mod as I type this. That being said, I'm gonna be here a while <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well yeah, but all Transformer games are for consoles and they suck. A multiplayer ctf ( or base defend or w/e) type transformer game would be awesome.

    **YES**

    Ever since SHOGO came out I've wanted a Transformers/Robotech/Something-with-robots-that-transform-into-vehicles mod to come out.

    I must stick up for Dragonball Z here. Funimation "Americanized" and dumbed down DBZ, the Japanese version is quite good indeed and with the typical dirty Japanese Humour and gorey fight scenes it is NOT a kiddy cartoon. Such a shame... most things that come here get all messed up like that. Eh. Oh well. Good mod.

    I don't really like it because it recycles frames to much, and the plot becomes tiresome, when they stretch out one part of one part of one part of one fight into an entire episode that could be explained in 2 minutes. The entire series seems like it's shot on threes (or maybe tens, since it goes so slow, most of the time).

    That said, the fights are cool, and the dialogue is cool (in the Japanese version) when they're not drabbling on about useless stuff/staring at a characters face for 3 minutes, watching him talk/using repeated animations to have two characters hit eachother over and over/have pointless flashbacks.

    Of course, some of those are quite common in anime, but they're too common in Dragonball animes. So, for me at least I don't like it anymore, because it's animated like their funding is $3 a week.

    well its the japaniese dbz companies fault for selling it and therefore USA's DBZ = JAPAN's DBZ.
  • TestamentTestament Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 4037Members
    DBZ sucks, I just played ESF for 4-5 hours straight.

    I. love. the new melee system!

    About 75% esf servers lag even worst than 1.1 (Maybe not). But finding a decent server (As in good players, and also no lag) is sort of hard. Now esf has really turned into melee only now since you don't see ps or anything like those sort anymore. It's just melee now.

    That always bothered me. Why did they spend a lot of time making good-looking beams and 3d explosions, if they're going to make melee usage mandatory?

    Aye and their's the problem, they want money. Sell-outs. Dragonball GT for example was made in Japan ONLY for the money, it isn't even the same company doing it. MOney is... a pain in the butt, it makes people do stupid things.

    BTW before anyone jumps onto the GT thing, let's say (again) that Akira Toriyama did *NOT* work on it. Should clear up on a few things. But indeed, money does make people do stupid things, like walk around your local metro station with a bug suit.

    On the topic though....

    New melee system + New explosion effects == win!

    Of course with router problems it's hard for me to find a server. Even harder is the fact that there are *gasp* NO ASIA SERVERS!

    Tough luck for me, looks like I'll have to bug Rick to get those 2 different melee cvars so I can tweak the bots to my own delight. Or not.

    EDIT : Best thing to happen in the new melle system are the hidden combos like Trunks instagib <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> Of course it doesn't work 100%

    The good thing about this new melee that it isn't as annoying as 1.1 melee where sometimes 3 guys are hitting you and you fly in several directions unable to do much and that was really boring and maybe annoying for those people who only like to use beams.
  • Mr_JeburtOMr_JeburtO Join Date: 2003-08-29 Member: 20340Members
    i like the old melle system. i was one of those people who could smack you around the map and kill u without a chance of fighting back <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    but i have been waiting for this new melle system for ages, i didnt use beams much anyway so it doesn't really affect me

    After learning TRUE combos, I love ESF even more...people get lucky if they hit me once or twice in a melee struggle, but if they miss ONE of my counter-attacks, or even main attacks, they eat combo sandwhich. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    What are "true" combos? Apart from the two special combos each character has, there's just basic and advanced melee. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    A true combo is a series of attacks which land 80% of the time, and mostly consist of block breakers.

    Of course there are also some unblockable moves, like Trunks sword kill (enemy has to have around 30% health left)

    Although DBZ stinks, ESF rocks.

    EDIT : Scrap what I said, true combos are combos that extend to another combo, which deals much more damage. So yeah, it's just those 2 special combos.
