Anyone think that FPS sound effects would be cool in SB mob fights?

Just a random thought I had was that it might be cool to have an option that after 5 successive kills in a short time to have one of those FPS announcers yell things out. After 5 kills = awesome 8 kills = incredible 20 kills = godlike or something similar. I always thought that was a cool feature in FPS games.

 

No, that wouldn't fit the game's atmosphere in the slightest.
If it was some shoot 'em up type of game sure but not Starbound.

 

No... No, god no. No!

Starbound is already overloaded with not-funny humor and mechanics that just don't fit this genre.

A living thing?

if (character->getDamage() > 100) {
character->runDeathSequence();
}

 

I would find this really annoying but I can kinda see how it would be cool. I think it would be pretty rad if there was a Stanley Parable-esque narrator but obviously that would be hard to implement and wouldn't really make sense with the game's lore.

 

heh It'd be kinda hilarious for an announcer to drop the 'M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL KILL KILL' every time you killed a monster. At least for like the first 20 seconds.

Think if I were gonna do a mod that added voices though, I'd have to replace the default mob sounds with soundbytes from pro wrestlers.

 

Imagine just walking around when suddenly you just hear Macho Man scream http://bit.ly/1taQs4O

 

This would get a bit annoying if you're fighting a bunch of enemies

"DOUBLEKILLTRIPLEKILLMMMMONSTERKILLLKILLLKILLLLKILLLHOLYSHIIIIITTT"

 

Maybe as a mod. Nothing else.

 

I agree with everyone else that it doesn't really fit the game.

Although in saying that, referencing it in a less intrusive way might be a little bit fun. For example if you manage to kill 100 hundred enemies in a row without getting hit it might suddenly say "ULTRA KILL" before your character exclaims "Who the heck said that?!"
You obviously don't get anything for your troubles

 

Actually, I think it would be funny to have a parody area like that. Some arena mission somewhere.

Just not all the time when you're out exploring though. Like the others said, it wouldn't fit the experience at all.

 

This would be great, actually. Like maybe a mission on a lava planet or something with lots of bouncy soldiers that yell out arena announcer effects when they die.

 

I was going to come and blast this whole idea, but that, that would be kind of hilarious. Gratuitous explosion sounds to punctuate everything. Reminds me of that Borderlands 2 DLC.

 

The idea of some kind of reality TV camera drone hovering around you, relaying the announcer's voice and the cheers of the viewers at home, really tickles me.
