QwertySanchez posted:Picking up one enemy, and throwing them at another enemy to kill 'em! Also old school video game style powerups could be fun. An FPS with some sort of mixing gimmick ala Magicka, or more simply like gunstar heroes would be pretty awesome. I'd love to play a FPS game inspired by Mischief Makers. Not quite the same but in Fractal Doom you can break chunks off yourself that turn into miniature Doomguys who can use the tiny weapons and ammo dropped by tiny monsters  . I feel like it's the one whacky gameplay mod that doesn't get enough love.E: a light world/dark world mechanic like Link to the Past or Guacamelee would be pretty neat. I know Cyriak played with it in a few maps of Going Down. Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Aug 19, 2015 |

Didn't Brutal Doom have the throwable enemies feature at one point? I distinctly remember taking an imp hostage and immediately hurling it at a cacodemon with enough force so that both of them exploded on impact.

I believe to pick up a wounded enemy you need to already have picked up the berserk pack.

Kazvall posted:I'll take an actual Duke Nukem game anyday. Another note on how I keep seeing people saying "DO we really need a new Duke Nukem game?". It's an FPS franchise with two games in the past 19 years. They're not exactly oversaturating the market. If it's not something somebody is personally interested in, okay. But we have about fifty Wolfenstein games so far and nobody is saying "Enough is enough! I've had it with all these nazi fighting Wolfensteins on this Monday to Friday plane". Random note, let's give it up for Allen Blum. It is pretty fun that he worked on every Duke Nukem game since the first sidecroller, and he was even the lead level designer on DNF. And he kept it going after 3DR shut it's doors. That guy pretty much is Duke Nukem, well him and Jon St. John. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Aug 19, 2015 |

Does anyone care for the Duke persona anymore? If Duke does come back, he'd probably go through a re-imagining like Lo Wang did. I can't help but feel there would be a dumb Internet sect arguing if it doesn't have constant '80s action movie throwback lines, it'll be poo poo.

I've been playing through Map Jam 2, I really like all the maps except for the first and the last. In the last map I got the nail gun, returned to the first area and there were like 8 spawn bouncing around a huge courtyard. No thanks! Scampie and Skackie's maps were the best. The latter is the most amazing Quake level I've ever played.

He's a silly parody/homage to '80s action movies. Without the '80s references and dumb one-liners, Duke is nothing but a camera, an arm, and a gun.

Even acknowledging that he was a horribly racist caricature that likely wouldn't fly in 2013, I kinda liked old Lo Wang more than new Lo Wang.

I can't even imagine how you'd think that. Even if it was a pretty average game it would probably sell a million copies, minimum. I guess when I think of Duke I think of interesting level design instead of his one-liners.

The Duke persona needs a little bit of touchup work to connect nicely with the modern world but is fundamentally functional. Especially if you remember things like that he watches Oprah and that his reaction to a dominant woman (dressed as him, hilariously) was strongly positive. Dude just likes sex and booze and action, he's actually not a jerk.

Sorry for the elementary question, but... how do I run a Doom mod like Reelism? I've got a pk7 file but I'm not sure what to do with it. GZDoom detects the Doom games that I have on Steam, but I don't know how to make it see Reelism. I extracted 3 wads with 7zip but I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to run, or if I'm supposed to use them all somehow.Heavy Metal posted:ZDL is another nice lightweight Doom launcher. That ZDL 3.2.2.2 is the launcher I usually use.

Edit: .pk3 files are also used the same way, for the record. .pk3 files are just renamed .zip files and .pk7 files are .7z files, I believe, so on occasion you might get a .zip file or something that you might be able to use like a .pk3 file (or just rename it, it's all good). catlord fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Aug 20, 2015 |

Minidust posted:I try that but GZDoom just asks me which retail game I want to play: Reelism is a PWAD (patch WAD), which means that's expecting data from an IWAD (internal WAD) to complete it. Reelism expects Doom 2, so open it with Doom 2. Generally Doom PWADs expect DOOM2.WAD for an IWAD, but there are some exceptions like Doom The Wad id Did. If a PWAD wants a wad other than Doom 2 the authors will let you know. Segmentation Fault fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Aug 20, 2015 |

I guess the difference is that every Wolfenstein game is good, and Duke has maybe two good games total if you allow fractions. Also, there is absolutely nothing interesting about Duke's universe aside from Duke himself, whereas Wolfenstein evolved into a pretty interesting take on the really tedious WW2 shooter genre.

I'd love a reboot of Duke that makes him out to be more of a Johnny Bravo type where his machismo and womanizing backfires instead of having it played straight. Terminus made a point that Duke is actually a giant dork if you think about it and I'd love to see that get explored. A hero who's so vain that he collects his own memorabilia and only dies from having a terminally damaged ego is hilarious in and of itself and I'd like to see Gearbox use that for laughs instead of endless pop culture references. Now that Anthony Burch is out of the picture that might actually happen.

The Duke Nukem series doesn't capture your imagination, that's cool, but what's your point really? Just saying, my point was you never see somebody say "No more Wolfensteins!", even if they don't happen to be interested in Wolfensteins. But people who aren't into Duke will let you hear about it. Poor guy, he just wants some R&R on a curvaceous beach. Minidust posted:Aha! By adding that first pk7 as an "External File" in ZDL, and then running Doom II, it worked:

if we're talking about Build Engine games getting Modern reboots/sequels, I'd rather see something new for Redneck Rampage than Duke(even if Duke is the better game), especially since RR's cartoony aesthetic could look amazing rendered in a modern engine(come to think of it, who even owns the RR franchise these days?)
