EYE is not alt-tab compatible, accidentally pressed the windows key and bam, who knows how much progress the arbitrary saving system lost me.

Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast still holds up pretty well. So if you're interested in swinging dat saber, get that one.

The Kins posted:Here's something vaguely relevant to both this thread (as opposed to the DO5M one) and usage of the term "y'all". Nice, I've been looking forward to this and I'm glad to see it coming out. The eDuke people working on something sounds good, but they've also been working on a Shadow Warrior port for ages so I'll wait until I see anything to get excited.

Happy that other people pointed out that Jedi Knight has aged poorly. Its just got some seriously clunky mechanics behind it. If anything, Jedi Outcast/Academy have actually aged better over time. Largely because instead of improving the lightsaber mechanics every other Star Wars game has totally failed to even approach the feeling of lightsaber'ing your way through.

I remember seeing MrIcarus showed this off in a video a while ago (I guess when it was still being worked). I played a bit of that iteration back in May, captured some screens of it, and posted them here in the Awful/Awesome mods thread. Max Wilco posted:Oh wow, I downloaded this, and...man... I had more, but I've since deleted the original images. I'm curious (as well as frightened) to see what might have changed in that time Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Sep 2, 2018 |

I recently bought and played a few minutes of Dark Forces, and... well, I can't figure it out: is it nostalgia or it being a pre-prequels artifact that it looks and feels so much more "Star Wars" than just about any franchise product made since 2001?

Ancient Aliens is loving cool. I gave it a few tries in 2016 and 2017, but kept stalling in the first act due to just not really being in a doom mood I guess, but I'm now in the third act and there is some loving cool poo poo. Cultural Shock is probably the coolest map I have seen in a doom wad.

I played Jedi Knight for the first time last month and I had a blast. Of course a game from over 20 years ago is gonna feel a little dated. Despite that, the weapons felt good, the levels were huge and sprawling but still easy to navigate, the live action cutscenes were surprisingly watchable and everyone involved was clearly having a blast, and it felt like going on a really dope Star Wars adventure, which most games outside of KotoR 1 completely fail to capture the feeling of.

Lambert posted:Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast still holds up pretty well. So if you're interested in swinging dat saber, get that one. Some of it is rough tho. Not starting out with a saber and force powers. Having to protect those prisoners with a turret. Nar Shaddaa with its suicidal bombers and snipers. The small droid in Bespin that just loves charging into wired explosives. It’s one reason why I would replay Jedi Academy instead. You’re a jedi from the start and there are just smaller set-pieces instead of elaborate levels. Even a mission without much combat (the one inspired by Tremors) is interesting. I only remember disliking the one that resolves around speeder bikes. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Sep 2, 2018 |

I'd pay for his own version of Dungeon Keeper. "Make your own U.A.C. complex. Manage resources, build new laboratories and research new teleportation technology while keeping demonic invasions under control. You lose if you alert the Doom Slayer of your activities."

Jehde posted:Curious, what are the clunky mechanics that made it difficult for you to enjoy the game? Was it using the F keys for force powers? Because you can rebind those... But also I guess I still have the muscle memory to jam F5 down to force jump so. For me the #1 jankiest part of JK was saber combat, especially having played JO first. It doesn't help that it doesn't use skeletal animation, and the saber attack animations have so few frames that it's hard to tell what you -- or your opponent -- is actually connecting with. #2 is Force Speed and the way it makes you faster (and correspondingly harder to control) rather than making everything around you slower as it does in JO/JA. And these two combine to make the final bossfight, a one on one lightsaber duel where both participants have Force Speed, the worst part of the game. Mierenneuker posted:Some of [Jedi Outcast] is rough tho. Not starting out with a saber and force powers. Having to protect those prisoners with a turret. Nar Shaddaa with its suicidal bombers and snipers. The small droid in Bespin that just loves charging into wired explosives. It's been a while since I played either, but I think the best parts of JO are better than the best parts of JA, but JA is more consistently good and definitely has the best lightsaber combat in the series, yeah. Dark Forces has the best gunplay though.

Dark Forces series steadily morphed from an FPS into a character action game. It’s no surprise that by the end the guns are pretty much vestigial — though I do like Academy’s conc rifle. JK’s saber combat is spastic and unintuitive but I enjoy it.

THE BAR posted:So he functions more like DK2's Horny, except he's more of a time limit? I'm ashamed to say that I barely touched DK2 back in the days (played more DK1) but after googling, yeah something like that. More than a time limit a "% demonic invasion" counter meassure you can pull to gently caress all demons but it will also destroy most, if not all of your base.

Yeah the sabre combat for JK is definitely janky, but it's in an endearing way. Force speed straight up making you go fast was ridiculously fun to me, but for sure difficult to handle.

Yeah man, that's what I'm saying. It just feels proper Star Wars in that kinda gritty way that it doesn't really do anymore. X-WING and TIE have the same proper old-school star wars feel. Jedi Knight is janky but also has that old-school feel. Jedi Starfighter and Jedi Power Battles and Jedi Academy and onwards there's decent games but they all start to feel different in tone. The original trilogy was before franchises and before 'kids movies' and so it was just WW2 in space and that's what kids liked back then. These days everything exists in the context of a huge mass-appeal franchise so the tone is just completely different. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Sep 2, 2018 |

I know Bioshock 2 isn't considered an "old game" yet, but I just wanna stop by and say that I can't believe how bad the remaster is. I must have crashed ~30 times playing through it. Apparently it's a very common problem with the remaster, and has been in this condition since it launched roughly 2 years ago. If I had known that, I probably would have just downloaded the "regular" version and played through that.

Was playing through it just last month, lost a whole level over it crashing (Dionysus Park), so about 1-2 hours of gameplay. After that, I started saving manually every few minutes.

Even then, I also experienced the same thing you did and lost a save and ~15-20 minutes of progress. It's really poo poo, because as far as the actual game goes I liked it better than Bioshock 1.

Wow Duke it out in DC is really good! Managed to get it working in eduke32 (I tried a few years back but must have messed something up, not sure how!) and so far I'm really impressed with how the levels are laid out and in particular some of the secrets are really fun. It's a shame the Megaton edition isn't for sale any more as I think that was the only way to legitimately buy it

Yeah it's weird because I heard similar complaints about the remaster of Bioshock 1, but I played both back to back and had very few issues with it. It was only with Bioshock 2 Remastered that I seemed to experience frequent crashes and instability.

If an FPS is available on PC and isn't named "halo" you should be playing it on PC. Goldeneye wasn't even on PC and you should be playing it on PC. E: Huh, the remaster is on PC too? I never even heard of that release. I thought it was just a cheap console port cash-in. Still, I'd just play the original release with the resolution cranked up on PC.
