Always thought the shotgun from the first F.E.A.R was very satisfying to use, especially if you use it while activating your slow motion.

It may transcend "shotgun" as it passes into some strange power-weapon territory, but loading up dual-wielded shotguns with ricocheting ammunition in Wolfenstein: TNO is like turning yourself into a sort of human-mulching machine.

How would the dog wear goggles and even more than that, who makes the goggles?


some of my favourite shotgun sounds (not so much the racking but the shot) are the ones my buddy made for fallout new vegas:

he's got a bunch of other weapon sounds he made for the game on that youtube page and playing with them made the game feel so much better.

Can confirm. I saved up enough cash to get the Elmwood 1925, the one modeled after the Winchester Model 1887, and was not disappointed :hellyeah:

I completely forgot how much I miss Blood, and that 'Son of a bitch must PAY' came from there. Been saying that on and off when blowing poo poo up in FPS's over the years, and I had completely blanked on where it came from.

Also, the pickup for health... was that a Steam notification sound?

No shotgun talk is complete without mentioning the ridiculous Quad Shotgun from Complex Doom. It's occasionally possible to take out a Hell Knight in one shot with this thing.

i've only listened to Message For The Archvile so far but this is a work of art.

Ooh, that was one of the more difficult ones. Some songs took literally five minutes to convert, but D_MESSAG left me figuring out where to go with it. I wasn't sure if I should preserve some of the dissonance or go strictly major with it. I chose the former, and I'm still not 100% sure it was the right choice.

Me posting this WAD here coincides with the 1.2 release, which fixes a few minor things. Of course, as soon as I do that, I find a bunch of wrong notes on D_E2M1. I'm also finding out how much extra crap FL Studio puts in MIDI files now that I've switched to Sekaiju. It was bad enough that it was causing my USB MIDI interface to trip over the beginning of songs. Looks like I have some work to do to clean it up.

That would have much more gravitas if they didn't base their gameplay around QTE takedowns.

The gameplay is insanely good and the takedowns move quickly enough that they flow real well

One of my favorite dumb shotgun concepts to this day is still the Daikatana Shotcycler. A weapon so dumb it actually has other application besides shooting baddies; acting as a proto-rocketjump with no health drawbacks.

Or maybe I'm just trying to justify my love for dumb guns in general.

Yeah, the takedowns are so fast and fluid they feel like the sort of sprite animations you could fit neatly into a Doom .WAD.

The guns in DO4M didn't feel very satisfying to me, even the rocket launcher felt pretty wimpy. The gibs were also pretty unsatisfying imo outside of the melee animations, enemies just kinda fall apart into little pluts of gibs. It is still a fun game though, the fast pace is refreshing.
