Playing through Half-Life Blue Shift reminded me to say I think bullsquids are very cute and I would love a little bullkitten of my own.

Are the Quake 2 mission packs as good as Q1? I'm just finishing Q1 MP2 right now, and need something to play next. I bounced off of Unreal, it just didn't suck me in.

Quoting myself from last year.Mierenneuker posted:The Reckoning is awful. The new enemies* are terrible. The new weapons are terrible. A combination of the new enemies and how enemies are placed means there is a lot of seemingly unavoidable damage. I personally think Quake II is best when you can enter a room, then bob and weave to avoid enemy fire and take them out. That's harder when you are constantly looking for health. It doesn't make things more challenging, it makes things more annoying. I probably make things sound way worse than they really are, but it is definitely Ground Zero Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Apr 30, 2020 |

Come on, it's 1997! Things got Bloody this year! I've said my piece before about how much I love Blood, so I don't think I need to go over it again, so I'll ask a question instead: does anyone know how to get mods running in Raze? I tried just dragging the .zip of Death Wish onto the .exe, but that's not doing it.

I've been thinking of playing through Strife, since I never played it and the promise of Doom with a chill story sounds interesting. But what is the best way to go about this? Should I just load the original WADS in GZDoom, or is it worth getting the Veteran Edition and doing the same thing? Also, and this might sound like heresy, but how are the weapons and how well does it get along with gameplay WADS? I still had the original game files and loaded them up with Psych, which promises compatibility,and it's fun but you're way too overpowered. Tried loading up GMOTA, and it sort of works but might break any second. Would you guys recommend going in vanilla, or are their particular wads that pair very well?

Given the fate of both companies in the early 2000s, I imagine this whole kerfuffle didn't help either party a whole lot. I can't say that everything going smoothly between them would've gone great either, of course, given, well, one company died and both stopped making hardware.

It’s hard to say if Dreamcast would’ve survived longer had they gone with the superior hardware but EA took one look at the alternative, concluded it was garbage developed by a personal friend of a SEGA of Japan executive in a shady deal, and backed the gently caress out. It’s why SEGA invested heavily in their own sports franchises. It’s interesting how many pc ports were in the works. Like we missed out on a System Shock 2 and Undying port which I would’ve loved in 2000 with my old rear end computer that struggled with Red Alert 2.

Y'know, I still haven't tried Dark Forces 2 at any point. Actually the only game past Dark Forces I've played is Jedi Academy, which I gather is not everyone's favorite, but IDK it seemed fine.

It is fine, but personally, it is the low mark. Outcast is the seemingly universal favourite, but my nostalgia biases towards the early 3D Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith.

Should I just load the original WADS in GZDoom, or is it worth getting the Veteran Edition and doing the same thing? SVE gives you some subtle map bug fixes and graphical improvements (talking about the resource file, here, not the renderer, they've done basically the equivalent of Marphy Black's sprite fix project) as well as an extra sidequest that can reward you with permanent berserk. I'd recommend staying with vanilla weapons, you'll start weak (especially since you can't aim for poo poo) but will end up overpowered pretty soon as you find more weapons and get better accuracy. My pro-tip is to save gold for a backpack as soon as possible. My favorite weapon is the incendiary grenade launcher, it's perfect to deal with heavy opposition. The only downside is that you'd rather not be in a hurry, because those flames stay there for a while and they kill very quick, but then again, it's why it's such a good weapon.

Outcast play like a slightly reduced feature set version of Academy but with much much better story/pacing there's a port mod of the levels that ports outcast into academy so you can play it with the improvements of academy. Academy has more creative level designs I think, Outcast seems like they weren't 100% on what did and didn't work yet so you get things like one shot snipers and bits that aren't vertical as they could be.

So, I was annoyed when Techland put their Hexen-like, Hellraid, "on hold." It's been talked about before, I was really looking forward to it, especially since we don't get a lot of people explicitly naming Hexen (and I think Witchaven, but I'd need to check that) as inspirations. I don't think we're getting it.

Note that the compatibility of SVE is different between GZDoom and actual SVE, GZDoom doesn't support SVEs lightmaps or decals, and may have gameplay inaccuracies. If you don't have the mouse input bug, it's better to play SVE in SVE.

Dark Forces will always be my favorite, but Outcast with the dismemberment console command is a super close second. Jedi Knight is still fantastic; how many games let you kill yourself with speed? The cruiser escape level will always haunt me as one of my first real panic inducing gaming experiences. Now it's easy, but that level shook me up as a kid.

This is from back in February, but I just learned about it - The Steam version of Descent 3 now has upgraded, native, 64-bit Linux and Mac ports done by Ryan C. Gordon. If you own the Windows version, you have these for free. No plans to bring these improvements to the Windows version, which is a real shame because it could really use the extra TLC.

Or... was there a hub level? Or something? Was it proc-genned? All I remember is I could never find the same area twice and having no idea how anything was supposed to join up. Looking it up the game apparently contains a LISP interpreter?? And you can right LISP code to mod it? That is by far the coolest extensibility option I have ever heard of. Get your dlls and your monkey patches out of here.

Not an FPS exactly, but sufficiently adjacent: The original 2004 Star Wars Battlefront has received a big update to revive online multiplayer on Steam and GOG, with cross-platform play between the two platforms. Also, all your Dark Forces and Jedi Knightses are heavily discounted on GOG and Steam as part of some lame pun hashtag. The Kins fucked around with this message at 14:59 on May 1, 2020 |
