Casual Minigames

Recommended Posts

This thread contains alot of pictures, if you have slow internet or do not wish to view a page this long, return now. Otherwise, you may continue.

 

Car Minigames

Which would essentially mean, you have to interact with your car, examine it, check for leaks etc. to be able to drive it safely without driving of the road without a warning.

Inspecting parts of the car for rust, holes, scratches or leakages.

Information from last time you examined your car. This is old information, not new.

Disassembling parts of the vehicle. Piece by piece, it'd take several minutes to do certain things.

Being able to scan if the car is driveable, if anything is missing, oil etc. (This would be a findable item, preferably in industrial/garages.)

 

ss_a9f0a189fc8d79786bc381de7ded9c8f2f886

This could for example be a car you found out in the woods. It have rusted and been looted over the years. You would have to change parts of it to be able to drive it like it should be driven.

 

Lockpicking

Probably similiar to Skyrim's lockpicking system. You have a number of lockpicks, and the lock has a classification how hard it is. The harder it is, the more skill it would take to unlock it.

DIE pls.

What the hell is up with you? Why are you going on a rampage writing "fuck you" and flaming people because they have ideas that could possibly benefit the development of a game? Do you want me to sit in a corner and write a diary how fascinating this wall is?

He probably wasn't flaming - probably just hated the skyrim lockpicking system.

 

probably.

This really doesn't fit the game

Stop typing 3-5 words and then just walking out of the room. Try to be enthusiastic and write an explanation why you do not feel the way I do.

Nope. He wants you to train up skills otherwise you may not repair vehicles. I don't want skills, I just want minigames.

It doesn't fit the game because you have to open a separate window for the minigame and the skyrim/falllout lock pick system is extremely unrealistic.

The only mini-games I approve of are those involving decks of cards with people for beans, bullets and bandages.

 

Or games winner take all games of chance where someone dies and someone else walks away rich.

but not only mechanics - they should add many different mini games.

dean talked about that a long time ago, maybe they will add it.

He suggested professions i.e. I'm a medic, I have lower risk of giving you an infection with an IV; you're a mechanic you can fix the engine. He did not suggested training or leveling up skills.

nope. i think that these minigames should be based on realism and you need to learn this skills in real life and not in game.

in game you will learn something and then you will be killed and start over - this sucks.

players should be able to learn this stuff from youtube tutorials or from their jobs/hobbies.

Hello there

 

One chap is on a suspension and another almost was.

 

If you have a cogent argument to an idea then make it.

 

Petty insults and massive meme/pics will not be tolerated.

"Because you need to open a seperate window for the minigame."

Do you know what Mechanic Simulator 2014 is? Look it up. Everything is ingame, nothing is in a seperate window.

"And the skyrim/fallout lock pick system is extremely unrealistic."

Could you suggest a better one?

In all my seriousnes,it's not a bad idea.

I agree with the minigame feature,but not for cars or locks.

My idea is to make a minigame out of fishing.

I don't like the term casual, so lets drop that. :p I wouldn't mind minigames provided that they:
 

  • Were realistic and fit with the atmosphere of Day Z.
  • Were not easy.
  • Did not behave like Elder Scrolls lockpicking (I can pick every chest in Oblivion and Skyrim without ever breaking a pick)

I would like to see minigames for crafting that relied on skill to create items of better quality. But again, I'd only like to see this if and only if it can be done without being gimmicky and easy to cheat. 

Very easy to learn extremely hard to master must be the motto of any minigames.

And finally, no pausing or anything while you're doing a minigame. If you're in the middle of picking a lock or whatever and someone walks up behind you, bad luck.
