Not sure but I know I've seen people use his famous "Blow it out your rear end" on a few videos online. Not really savory videos either, so it's kind of interesting to see the obvious nod to a classic FPS game.

Humping walls looking for secrets, saying "Where is it...?", at a public library etc. Free idea for the Mega64

a bit late on the crysis chat but i just wanna remind everyone that in warhead there's the train level set piece except you can just get off the train and super speed ahead of it and finish your objectives then get back on it and punch a helicopter

Anything that involves punching a helicopter is awesome. Like Chris Redfield punching boulders like a boss in RE5.

All this Daikatana talk made me curious to try it out. I have the GOG version and installed the 1.3 patch. I was curious to see what happens with a higher resolution and now the screen is stuck like this: https://imgur.com/a/u4LUIeB I've uninstalled and reinstalled, tried messing with configs, nothing works. The mouse isn't captured in the window either; I tried to blindly change the resolution but I literally cannot click "Apply Changes." Before installing the 1.2 patch it works fine. Is my computer trying to save me?

It's worth noting that the first Crysis had the most hilarious shotgun in an FPS game. You could adjust the choke down and mount a sniper rifle scope on it for MAXIMUM TACTICOOL. It felt almost as good as F.E.A.R.'s SPAS but since you couldn't blow enemies in half with it that's an automatic loss.

Going slo-mo and blasting four Replicas to pieces, coming out of it and having the remaining squaddie dive for cover screaming "gently caress!" just feels so good on a visceral level.

 Chris Redfield, what a legend. I loved the SPAS in FEAR - running up behind an enemy and shooting them at the base of their neck. The guns just felt so kinetic. It was very satisfying.

Nope, no luck. Ah well, just a weird thing I can't figure out how to fix. Edit: Oh I got it! Somehow I found a site about using console commands to change the config file since I can't click it in the state it's in, so I blindly typed "exec daikatana13.cfg" and hit enter and now it's in a small but usable window!

Finished the latest episode of Amid Evil. Shame it was so short. I really want to like the game but this sometimes feels like a tech demo (a superb one) more than an actual game.

So I decided to actually do a playthrough of Daikatana after hearing y'all talk about it (with the 1.3 patch I'm not crazy) and man I hope you guys are right about the second episode being better. Like this game isn't as soul crushingly bad as you'd expect by reputation, but I only JUST got Superfly and ai partners are apparently an issue, but I also hear the patch fixes a lot of that so... But yeah other than getting bored of shooting mosquitoes and frogs forever, my major complaint is just how goofy and awkward all the weapons are. The gently caress is a vitzatergo and why is it nearly suicidal to use? ULTIMATE GAS HANDS? Why is this shotgun like this. Anyway I'm still at it, none of this makes me want to stop but there's just some mind boggling design decisions as one would expect from a game of this reputation.

Episode 1 is a garbage fire of visuals and design, the early parts moreso than the later. Episode 2 starts to pick up with better weapons, level design, enemies, etc. If I ever made like an hour long review of Daikatana, the first episode would take up most of it.

One genre I don't think we could get an indie game of is the (good editions of) the MoH/CoD style of war games, and that's kind of a shame. I still go through old CoD games pretty often.

They absolutely are as absurd as the name though; they're internal combustion-powered knuckledusters that have to be started by pulling a ripcord, belch smoke, and do more damage per hit than anything else in the game. edit: also they don't have an obvious mechanism for causing more damage, like spinning blades or anything. You strap a little gasoline engine onto the back of your hand and do more damage by punching because

While we're talking about FPS games that didn't get great receptions, anybody in here like Contract JACK? I never played it, love NOLF though. I just flipped through a vid of the first ten minutes, looks like a serviceable ten minutes. And are there any somewhat notable FPS releases we don't really talk about? Just looking at the FPS wikipedia page, how do we not talk about Carnivores 2? It's a game from 1999 where you shoot dinosaurs, it must've been respectable. Oh yeah I've never played Gunman Chronicles, maybe I should try that.

The opening world feels weirdly short when they're not in there. Like, I don't even know why they aren't by default, it just makes too much goddamn sense with them in.

It's more like a pale shadow of NOLF. There are some instances of the typical NOLF-style humor, especially early on, but by the end the energy level has dropped. It doesn't help that J.A.C.K. is silent, and a lot of the gameplay is just joylessly gunning down loads and loads of enemy mooks. I think I got it cheaply in a bargain bin, but I wouldn't go out of my way to pick up a copy.
