Current Events > Why do shooters have you refill clips?

(+) Yeah! (+)

You're obviously picking up whole guns when you walk over them. Why doesn't the main character just toss the gun and pull out a new one each clip like in Goldeneye 64?

that is kind of encouraged in uncharted 4

magazines?

in bioshock infinite. you're limited to one major gun and one regular handgun or pistol.
had to constantly work around it so you didn't run out of ammo.

what fun it was to deal with the boss fight with the ghost on 1998 difficulty. where i actually ran out of ammo. it was an endurance battle.

I forget what shooter that was, darkness? Where you dont have clips or magazines just the whole gun and then throw away when empty

You can't make it too real or it'll be a drag. I love touching a huge ham meat and gaining health for it.

A lot of people are adamant on people acknowledging the difference but I've never been clear on what the difference is.

I hate reloading a partial clip and getting an animation of throwing the clip away with bullets still in it. I refuse to reload until a clip is empty even if I suffer in gameplay for it. It's too weird

The darkness had ammo, you may be thinking of the darkness guns that don't use ammo.

The new Doom doesn't have magazines, maybe thats what you are thinking of?

there's a free survival horror FPS (Cry of Fear) game on Steam where they only let you keep ammo as clips, so you lose anything left in the magazine

Of course, it's just an animation. If you have two clips, shoot half of one, reload, shoot half of the other, reload, you have one full clip left.

This was a bitch even on hard difficulty. It's the main reason why I'l probably never play 1998 difficulty.
