I still don't get why they tried to turn Hitman into a story game when the best plot they could come up with was "some guy tries to frame the hitman for murder"

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

I think the only thing this guy likes or knows can be good in a game is novelty. Well, he admits that, so i guess i don't just "think" it

i found another cool game on *big megaphone yell* MY STREAM. its not wolf fang cool but its weird and also another data east thing its called boogie wings. its a horizontal shmup thats going for like like a ragtime/vaudeville theme but weird. the main gimmick is your plane has a physicsy skyhook that comes with a bomb you can either bludgeon enemies with or throw and once you throw that you can use the hook to grab and throw enemies and stage elements. if you mash the fire button you start emitting a huge lightning attack and when your plane gets shot down you go on foot and you can pick up and throw poo poo around and hop into other, weirder vehicles. its neat and i like it but i dunno if the gameplay is really all that strong, the lightning attack is super good and the only drawback is needing to mash pretty fast. the stages kinda drag on. the other vehicles are all way more interesting than the plane but the only way to use them is to get your plane shot down you can't just jump out. its still worth a look in this retro gamer's opinion

"The gameplay is very similar to that featured in Quake, in terms of movement and controls, although the player's movement speed has been slowed down, ... the player is given mission-based objectives that correspond to the storyline, ... CGI cutscenes are used to illustrate progress through the main objectives, ... There is also a hub system that allows the player to travel back and forth between levels, which is necessary to complete certain objectives"

this description is pretty much wrong. the cgi cutscenes are literally an animation saying YOU HAVE COMPLETED LEVEL 1 NOW ENTERING LEVEL 2. the mission-based objectives are either find the key or hit the end level button. hubs just means the levels have load times inside of them.

quake 2 is not good that description is a poor description of why its not good is all

Boogie Wings (aka THE GREAT RAGTIME SHOW) really is fun. I wish I could watch someone play it in real life because the game has lots of little details that you miss if you're playing yourself and YouTube videos aren't hi-res enough.

Not especially. A hard mode hack is a cool idea, but 1.3 is mostly just a tedious mode hack.

some of the levels require you to pixel walk to jump up up higher areas and proceed by design
