What the fuck does this quote even mean?

>>4205772
"More substance in FPS games compared to what CS offers."

counterstrike is only one FPS where DosBox supports hundreds of them

It runs smoother than CS

>greedy mentat

>>4205778
That's.... completely wrong though.

Counterstrike was an amazingly revolutionary FPS that set the standards for the whole entire genre once it came out. It's still considered one of the greatest FPS games ever made, but you'll never hear /vr/ talk about it because "le not retro" even though it technically is

>>4205772
It sounds like a CS acknowledgement. Some of the DB devs are probably CS fans.

>>4205772
It refers to the FPS DosBox can run compared to the FPS mods CS spawned (which I guess it's incorrect since it should refer to Half-Life).
That or it refers to Frames Per-Second, though that makes less sense.

>>4205772
Counter Strike is an FPS(first person shooter)

DOSbox has high FPS(frames per second)

It's some kind of pun

>>4205848
Counter-Strike was a mod of Half-Life though.

>>4205827
>It's still considered one of the greatest FPS games ever made
it's shit

>>4205852
most of the achievements that anon ascribed to it actually belong to Half-Life, as well.

>>4205772
when are they ever gonna release a new stable version

It's a joke! CS it's one fps (first person shooter), while dosbox has more fps (frame per second).

>>4205849
it's actually a double entendre because there are more actual FPS genre games in the DOXbox collection, and there are also more frames per second while playing DOS games via DOSbox

>>4205919
Do they need to? What's broken?

>>4206482
you don't see anything wrong with the last stable version that comes from 7 years ago?

Always thought this smacked of some weird Euro/German humor.

Close enough.

>>4206492
I might not have the experience that some here do, but it's always run pretty seamlessly for me. I've never run into a program I couldn't run or anything I wanted to do that I couldn't do.

Again, I ask: what's broken?

I ask because I don't know, and I want to.

>>4206524
I've always been partial to Taewoong's build with MT32, a pretty decent UI, Glide, and added rendering options... but yeah, .74 is quite the workhorse.

>>4206524
emulators are always "broken"

they can always be improved, and it seems like the dosbox SVN still receives commits

>>4206492
Why fix what isn't broken?

>>4205827
/vr/ doesn't talk about it because they're busy pretending that they're all arena shooter players and hardcore "doomers" when 99% of these posers don't play Quake Live and the vast majority of them actually suck at Doom style shooters. They try to hate on CS on "principle" in an attempt to get that sweet "gamer cred" when really they're just a bunch of pretentious asspulls that would actually get destroyed at the game. Plus most of these kids actually grew up on Halo/COD, rather than on Doom/Quake and pretend it isn't so.

As someone that actually grew up with these games, I can tell you that most people loved CS because it was something new. We had become oversaturated with Doom-style FPS and arena shooters; when CS came around with its emphasis on teamwork/realism along with new mechanics of bomb plant/defuse/rescuing hostages etc it was a fantastic breath of fresh air. It was fucking great. These kids, most of them probably younger than the game, really don't know what the fuck they're talking about and never will. Plus they suck DICK at FPS, especially so when it's multiplayer FPS. Take /vr/ FPS opinion like you would take your dog shit, and remember it's coming from a bunch of pretentious contrarian late '90s born shitheads that will never see the light of on an irl vagina.

>>4207670
People on /vr/ do talk about CS, such your faggot nagging mouth.

well

(fun fact 1) you can set how many cycles per second dosbox runs at... for example 150k

(fun fact 2) dosbox is an emulator, so a lot of customization is possible

(fun fact 3) running 20 year old games on modern tech...... OH MY

(fun fact 4) yeah can i get a number 6 with the cesar salad

>>4205918
not in regards to multiplayer matchmaking, the arena MP modes that valve release with HL1 were still the old deathmatch style of quakedoom

>>4205848
thats the standalone CS launch by valve you dumbfuck, the mod was actually launched independently in 1999...
that is, as if being a mod of a retrograde game wasnt enough for it to be discussable in here, regardless of date

It's no hard to grasp.
Even though the original games was half life, CS was the one that popularized Valve to the masses, and games like team fortress 2 are still riding the CS wave.
DOSBox is saying, hey, we have more FPSs than just counterstrike (referring to Steam).

>>4209141
>games like team fortress 2 are still riding the CS wave.
More like the modern Call of Duty games, but yeah.

Counterstrike (as in 1.06) used to be used as a benchmark for gaming hardware performance. Also "pro" players tweaked their hardware and settings to get the highest frames per second possible in it for better reaction times. Getting high FPS in CS was a big deal.
Now get off my fucking lawn.

>>4211085
The extension to that is that cs1.06 performs very well even on hardware of the period so it's a high-fps game by nature.

looks like an early-00s nerd joke to me.

Radnor is my nigga!

>>4207670
I actually preferred DoD to CS.

>>4205772
Sounds like some sort of an inside joke.

>>4207670
>people loved CS because it was something new. We had become oversaturated with Doom-style FPS and arena shooters
So basically a polar opposite of what happens now, where realistic shooters are the boring norm and Doom-style FPS are a breath of fresh air?

>>4209128
so basically, CS is only relevant if you like modern multiplayer fpses.

>>4211956
CS plays nothing like modern multiplayer FPSes. CS requires singificant skill and understanding of weapons you're firing, stuff like CoD allows you to just point and shoot. Stuff like 360 noscope exists exactly because shooting in CoD is so fucking easy that you can kill people without even looking.
