killfest

plural killfests

1. informalAn occasion of widespread killing.

   The one use I've found for the BB is going into a major killfest. For instance if IND is agri and independent, and I'm a romulan. In such a case first I go to the killfest and die, then after dying I re-enter the game as a BB.

   A few nights ago I saw a REAL cool AF. The chick got it at the very beginning, after killing about 50 guys, but then the "super agent" who killed her became the focus, killing and killing and killing (cool move sliding down the rope w/guns, if you saw it) then HE got killed, and the focus switched AGAIN. This repeated about 4 times. Heh, heh, heh... It was cool :)

   all the comic truly is is just a killfest. nothing wrong with a killfest, as long as it's done well. the comic, i'm afraid, is not. i don't mind that it's a kiddie book, but it needs to at least be a good kiddie comic. now if you want a truly adult, violent comic, go get Faust.

   I've found the difference between those who enjoy Quake oand those on doom's^([sic]) side. Most Quake fanatics enjoy a massive killfest...while the doom fans prefer a hide and seek approach to the game. While it is cool to go on a rampage and just slaughter everything in your way from time to time, I do prefer the cautious approach.

   On the contrary the history of CRPg's^([sic]) is simple. You start with a gauntlet style killfest and add features. Diablo was the beggining,^([sic]) Diablo 2 will have many more RPGish features and Diablo 3 and 4 (yes hey will come even if under different names) will have even more. Seperating the killfest parts from the puzzle/adventure parts is going to ta[k]e effort and balance but it can be done.

   My game hit the merciless slowdown deathbug round about the time that Curst slipped over. That part of the game I actually really disliked, from there up until I got back to the Hive, mainly because I wasted far too much time playing at a killfest instead of just using Annah in stealth mode or Nameless One in regenerative indestructible mode to run through the battles (my Ultima VIII technique ;)).
