Speaking of Immortal Redneck, anyone have a screenshot of the full skill tree? I restarted since on my first profile I'd spent gold willy-nilly without realising that the more you've spent on the entire tree, the more expensive purchasing anything gets, so I want to make sure I plan my purchases a bit better.

I don't but it's honestly not a huge tree. I went and unlocked all of the characters as soon as possible, if you put one point into anything you can see whatever is next to it. The whole tree can be uncovered in like 3-4 runs.

I enjoyed Rogue Legacy until it became clear that it was balanced so you had to grind through hundreds of deaths before you had any chance of victory. Hopefully Redneck isn't as brutal.

The Kins posted:You should also check out Cubeface21 on Twitch. He kicked this off with his recent habit of casually playing old obscure FPSes through, then trying to speedrun them. He's also been doing Kingpin (gently caress YOU gently caress!!!!) and just recently started seeing if Soldier of Fortune is speedrunnable. I've been following Cubeface for some time already (I'm a huge speedrun fan), so I'll recommend you Corpseflesh while we are at it. He speedruns Quake 1/ 2/3/4, Doom 3 and some other games like Wolfeinstein 2009, The Witcher games etc...

I had everything visible on my save but reset and want to make sure I beeline for double-jump first but I've forgotten where that was, which is why I'm asking. In other news, I got to within one hit of killing the pyramid 1 endboss on my first run on this new profile.  It's definitely a game where knowledge and skill matter more than the stat boosts you get from the skill tree, because I never even saw floor 3 for the first 5-6 runs when I first started playing.

I just finished the final pyramid and in under 20 total deaths (there's an achievement for doing that). It's definitely nowhere nearly as difficult as Rogue Legacy and I did the final pyramid on my first attempt. Prioritize damage over survivability with your upgrades and you'll do okay. It's too bad there's no Endless mode where you take upgrades as you progress, but apparently there's something like that on the roadmap so maybe we'll get there some day. Right now there's nothing to do once you win except delete the save and start over.

Bongo Bill posted:Doom 4 Doom is the mod to use if vanilla isn't doing it for you, I believe. I'd go ahead and recommend D4T which is by DBThanatos, one of the modders of Doom 4 Doom. It aims to streamline Doom 4 Doom.

Both D4D and D4T are good. D4D is good for map packs with longer maps while D4T is great for those with smaller and more compact ones. Then again, it depends on how involved you want to be. I play D4T more since I actually play with DBT on fridays anyway.

Requiem Avenging Angel eventually managed to claw its way onto Steam and GOG, ready to be inflicted upon fresh generations.

I thought Requiem Avenging Angel was one of those cult classics that was generally, if not well regarded than decently regarded. Certainly no Operation Bodycount (Corridor 7 was great though).

What I really liked about Half-Life 1 was the cohesive feeling of the whole thing. Apart from the Xen section the whole game is really ONE big level, all part of this huge underground base, and your goal isn't initially to destroy the aliens or anything it's just "you're a normal guy who went to work and now you need to get out." The glimpses of the surface, the detours back into the facility, it all felt very real. Half-Life 2 managed to keep that cohesive, continuous narrative feel well also, while naturally expanding on it.

Yeah it's actually a pretty fun game that combines magic powers and conventional weapons in a way that (at the time) was still pretty novel. Especially since many of the powers let you gently caress around a lot, like remotely possessing enemies, or converting them to friendlies (I would end up with a small army of 6-8 NPCs just steamrolling over everything that stood in my way) or turning them into pillars of salt that dissolved in the wind in a pretty cool fashion.

My favorite thing about the PC Gamer quote was that it cuts out the part where the review says "It is little more than..." and then shits all over the game.

The glimpses of the surface, the detours back into the facility, it all felt very real. Half-life 1 is a very, very good adventure (especially when considered in its own time), the gun-play just isn't necessarily all that important for it. (Except for a few key scenes like shooting down a helicopter, etc.) I love firing the Magnum to this day, but my memories are Counter-strike having oomphier guns as a whole. Half-life 2 went whole hog with emphasizing story telling above all else, and the feel of most of the guns is kinda crappy, except for the uranium bolt sniper rifle. They really loved the gravity gun as a design element, and I will say that chopping down zombies with saw blades was a really fun shooter experience, moreso than mowing down endless Combine dudes with the plinky machine gun.

So Impie of Strange Aeons (amongst others) fame has a gameplay mod for Heretic called Karnak. It's a science-fantasy/Heavy Metal/He-Man kinda thing that's rather neat. It also changes up the textures too, to give the levels a different feel.

star trek elite force is ACtually Good even if star trek sucks. kiss psycho circus i was doing a write-up for this thread about, but the game just like struck me with a crushing depression and I had to stop playing it after the second episode. theres one weird sub-genre of shooter games that I like a lot, which is the weird third- or first-person vehicular shooter. games like uprising, forsaken, recoil, tread marks, descent, battlezone. Uprising and battlezone had weird RTS elements too, like command and conquer renegade did. i suppose you could fit most of the mechwarrior and heavy gear games in that category if you wanted, but mechwarrior always felt more like a sim game to me.

There's also Hard Truck Apocalypse series, which IIRC was started by a Russian developer reusing assets from a couple ValuSoft big rig racing games they made. Basically Privateer/Freelancer but with battle trucks. Less than a buck right now, worth a few hours IMO, but you might/will likely need to mess around with a fan patch to make it run on modern systems. http://store.steampowered.com/app/285500/Hard_Truck_Apocalypse__Ex_Machina/

Never-ending stretches of hazy colored fog and brown brick textures... yeah it was basically just game induced seasonal depression. for a band with such a like, bombastic aesthetic they sure went with the most boring, miserable poo poo. also the enemies were all circus themed but it was like, the darkest dingiest places ever.

I really like Impie, he's creative and does a lot of jumping around from stuff to stuff--it's difficult to predict what he'll make next.

a thing i appreciate about immortal redneck is that no matter what weapons i find or what classes i use, nothing feels overpowered compared to the others in the slightest. even the starting loadout holds up to the rest. the upgrades also don't feel like they're absolutely needed, just there to help slowly guide players further into the game over time if they're not the best in the world at it.
