I remember reading a review of MoO3 where they described one of the stats you have to track on a planet, and honestly I think some of my college math homework sound simpler.

To accurately reproduce the experience of playing Master of Orion III, go and spend a minute or two slamming a toilet lid down on your dick instead. This way, you get the "holy poo poo, this is loving awful" epiphany considerably sooner and it doesn't cost you any money! Win-win! (I bought it on launch day at full price.  )

I actually found one of the discs for MoO3 the other day while cleaning. I'm not sure where the other 2 are, and that's probably for the best. Just found the manual on top of a shelf too. Alas, it was as I remembered; the "good things" I remembered were in the MoO2 manual, not MoO3. And still the manual is the best part of MoO3. The paper isn't even glossy, so it's a bit hard to read.

What are some goods mods or general tips for Outcast and Blood? Tried googling mods for Outcast, but kept getting ones for the Jedi Knight sequel.

Not sure about Outcast, but our very own Tecman released a huge launcher for Blood a while back that contains a ton of content. http://blood.nanoaugur.net/

Anyone else have trouble getting a joystick to work in Independence War 1? IW2 works just fine, but I'm balking slightly at having to play a vengeful tween.

To fix cursor flicker/trail issues in Planescape check this out: http://www.shsforums.net/topic/43616-how-to-deal-with-the-ddraw-problems-of-pst-and-other-ie-games/ Worked for me so far, and I'm running the game in a window via VMWare on my Mac.

I've been informed that the latest Nvidia drivers fixed the incompatibility issues they had with I-War 2, which previously required workarounds to play. So, now everyone can enjoy the game. And should, because holy poo poo it's better than Freespace 2 I am not even exaggerating. Best-feeling space combat I've ever played, and the game was future-proofed amazingly well. Aside from dated ship textures, it really hasn't aged badly at all. Even does aspect-correct widescreen. I'll do a visual controller-map for my 360 pad profile sometime. Also, if anyone figures out how to do analogue on the main thrusters (although it's not really that big an issue) via the triggers, tell me.

Make sure to try I-War 1, the nice thing about space shooters is that they age really well (since all you need is some nice backgrounds, and some models). I loved the feeling of piloting with a crew better than I-War2's lone wolf kinda thing, though the piracy free-roam aspect was awesome.

I-War 1 I could never get into. Just the wrong side of sim-like, and the UI was seriously awkward. I-War 2 is a game that you can play entirely with a gamepad, yet still feels like you're hurling a heavily armed corvette-class ship through space. It's accessible and streamlined in the best possible sense.

eh, I actually found the whatever the game considered default for the 360 pad fine. just needed to remember the shortcut for gunnery control, and I was good to go. i kinda found it hilarious that IW1 had better gamepad support "out of the box" than loving Psychonauts

Yeah, the #1 piece of advice I can give with I-War 2 is use lateral/vertical thrusters. It throws off enemy targeting. Enemies usually fly with just throttle, and always with flight assistance (which limits your maximum velocity). As you're almost always outnumbered and outgunned, you need to leverage the few advantages you can get.FirstPersonShitter posted:Everyone should buy Blood, probably the finest first person shooter ever made. Yep, Blood owns as well. It's basically Duke 3D, but better.

Thats not possible, in fact, Caleb is just Duke Nukem disguised to show he can be even better if he feels to.

And as Duke 3D is basically Doom but better, this makes Blood the best. I didn't think so at first but after finishing the game it's gonna be disappointing playing any other first person shooters.

Is Blood really hard or am I just really terrible? Enemies manage to snipe me with shotguns from miles away, taking off half my health and there's hardly any health pick-ups. I have to keep reloading constantly to get past areas with like 12 HP. Also, which rear end in a top hat thought the loving rats were a good idea? It actually took me a while to realise why sometimes I'd randomly lose health, before I realised I had to somehow pick these off these tiny things on the floor. Flare ammo also seems to be rather rare. Infact ammo in general, I have to spend a lot of time with the pitchfork. I like the level design in this game but it's hard. Compared to Duke 3D anyway.

The rats arent in it much. Blood is also a hard game, I played through on lightly broiled and it was still difficult. It's also worth noting that X is altfire, and with the sawnoff shotgun the altfire will instantly kill the zombie guys. The game gets more generous with ammo later on, the first couple of levels are pretty mean. edit: Also something I didnt realise when I started playing was that 1 flare will kill a cultist or zombie, it just takes a second or two for them to start burning. juggalo baby coffin fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Oct 9, 2010 |

No denying that Blood is pretty brutally hard, though. The cultists have hitscan weapons, and catlike reflexes. It basically forces you to very carefully check each corner, and use cover whenever possible. It's kinda like the opposite of Doom (or its cousins, Heretic, Hexen and Strife), which reward super-fast movement out in the open. It's why I couldn't rank the games on a sliding scale - there's a kinda yin/yang thing going on with the two big 2.5d 'clans'.

They really push stuff about and the enemies gib into like 20 pieces. That and the unconventional storyline.

I almost poo poo myself when I ran into the reaper thing on the 3rd level of the 2nd chapter- the hotel one. "Oh hey heres the reaper looking-dude just shotgun hima bit an..." "OH JESUS THAT SCREECHING NOISE IS HORRIBLE AND HE'S ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I CAN'T HIT HIM AHHHHHHHH" Blood loving owns though.
