I've never been the best Quake player and can have some hair raising encounters even on easy but I've died quite a few times playing 1.5. I think it's marginally harder, but Quake is a hard game. I played it Vanilla just to try and get a comparison and found myself getting wrecked after about an hour of play. I think modern games may have also made us a bit more stupid

Q1 singleplayer isn’t that hard. I would rather play Q1 on nightmare than Blood on normal. Haven’t played 1.5 though

I think I figured it out: Q1.5 Ogres actually aim at you across the vertical plane now...and it reaaally sucks in some (most) places.

i like marathon troopers a lot more than ogres for doing the same thing in much faster, smoother way (not waiting for grenade detonation on ground) but there's nothing really wrong with them

But z-axis aware ogres are even better and one of the best enemy variants in arcane dimensions.

I'm not playing Arcane Dimensions, but if that mod has maps that aren't as tight or platform/trap-heavy as episode 1 of Quake, then I suppose they wouldn't be as soul-sucking to fight in there.

Ogres are one of the best enemies ever in a FPS. Great combo of danger at close range (with a loving chainsaw!) and at range with their weapon, which projectile can be avoided, with the twist is a grenade so you have to take care of the bounces and in what environment you are fighting. That said, enemy design <> map design. One of the problems that a Quake map can have is abuse of ogres everywhere.

My only big problem with the Ogre is that on Nightmare they take like one more shotgun shot to kill than they should imo That's been my experience with most Quake enemies so far. They're fun to fight, but they're kind of bullet spongey.

It has lots of the SMC mod in it so it has little tweaks like letting enemies aim up and down Negrostrike posted:Some random enemies just piss me off and I don't think that floating creature really needed a teleporting ability. It also makes the game a tad darker than it was, not sure if Darkplaces is to blame or the mod. You can change the teleport chance in the home key options, the darkness can be the real time world lighting is turned on when it shouldn't or just need to turn up the lighting level in the options.

Thanks. I didn't check the home key options too well. Darkness is not much of a problem though, there's a flashlight in this mod. It's good enough.

Ogres are perfectly interesting enemies, but theyre wildly over designed and healthy for what is very quickly like the basic enemy of the game.fadam posted:My only big problem with the Ogre is that on Nightmare they take like one more shotgun shot to kill than they should imo The expansion which adds enemies looked at this problem and went, yeah whats wrong with the enemies in this game is there isnt a bullet spongey one for the base levels, lets fix that.

A new weapon, two new enemies, new voice lines (with a breaking bad reference), and the alt-fire modes are a great addition. They're fun and interesting on top of being incredibly useful, and shotgun goons can use the grenade-launching alt-fire as well. The secrets/easter eggs are still quality too. The finale sequence of the new level is pretty sick, but the map itself is nothing special compared to the masterpiece they released previously. The original demo might have set my expectations a bit too high with the quality of the level design, but this feels a lot more reasonable for a typical map. I haven't been impatiently excited for a video game like this for ten or fifteen years.

juggalo baby coffin posted:the baton is great cause it can stun enemies, having it on a quick button would probably be OP It would own because you could do some cool combos and you need to be in melee range to use it anyway so there's an element of risk/reward that would be fun and cool. Plus you can just macro this stuff, so there's no reason not to build the feature into the baseline controls.

I think I actually preferred this map to some of the individual parts of the previous one. It's a nice complex bundle of map, with tons of routes, shortcuts, not too insane secrets and some good double backs with new enemies. The only thing that bothered me is that the grenade arc is still just weird and hard to control. The new alt fires are cool, especially the revolver lock on. Quick melee sure would be nice though.

The Kins posted:GZDoom Builder Bugfix is the standard and has all the buttons you'll ever want to press, plus a few more. Doom Builder X has less fun buttons to press, but is a little stabler and has support for Lua scripting if you wanna mess around with generating poo poo via code. SLADE3 is mostly for non-mapping stuff like graphics. It does have a map editor that works on non-Windows platforms, but I rarely hear nice things about it from the people using it for whatever reason (Linux).
