I probably skipped over a lot of stuff in the RD streams by trying to scrub past all the "studio" stuff, but I don't remember Hell Hunt or HROT showing up at all outside of a few seconds in a montage. Come to think of it, the only Civvie I saw was when they were playing ROTT 13 for twenty minutes.

Overall, I find both SoF games to be fun, with the caveat for both being that there are levels that I loving despise having to play again, whether it's some of the dull industrial levels of SoF 1, or the one stealth-or-nothing level or the jungle levels of SoF 2. Both of those games knew what they were, though: A way to show off the engine by giving you an onslaught of enemies to try the tech out on.

ETPC posted:this is a good post. all people need to do is be critical. The very start of Mission Impossible 2 was offensive for lots of people here in Spain but I found it hilarious because they hired someone (or a group) to give them advice about how to show spanish traditions... and they screwed it up to Scary Movie levels and when you think it can't be worse, they double down with the dialogue. For context, Seville (my city) looks like a northern african city and they carry burning images mixing our Holy week with Valencia's fallas (where they burn big rear end dummies) with a mashup of different attires. The movie is a giant mess overall but it gets better with every new movie on the franchise. I like Tom Cruise's films but I'm not a fan of the person outside.

i tried replaying SOF1 after doing Shadow Warrior and Duke 3d a few months ago and my determination was it aged worse than Shogo. game that aged the best: interestingly, Sin. huge level variety, great atmosphere, solid music, the reactivity/inter-level effects are still way ahead of their time (oh look the island is erupting in flame because i hosed up the geothermal plant 3 levels back), the dick jokes are just as lame as they already were in 1998 when i was literally still in middle school. great atmosphere from the skyboxes and stuff, i think ~reloaded~ will probably degrade the lo-fi charm.

Shogo is only better than Blood 2 in that you're actually given enough ammo, you'll still trigger an enemy with a rocket launcher that turns into an instant turret with zero reaction time like you're playing Quake on nightmare. Gotta add that SoF's difficulty sliders are more in depth than Fresh Supply and it suuuucks no game ever followed suit.

Shogo is significantly better than Blood 2 for the simple fact that it's a functioning, finished game It's way the gently caress too hard for its own good, but that doesn't put it anywhere near Blood 2 territory

I much prefer Timesplitters Future Perfect to 2 due to the more modern controls. I’m sorry but I can’t go back to the original Goldeneye style controls at this point.

I played the poo poo out of both and never noticed a big difference between the two, control-wise. Couple more features in FP, but they seemed to play the same, didn't they? Also, definitely use the c buttons for movement, and the stick to look, wrt Goldeneye/PD64.

Mouse Injector at 60fps is the only way to play those games. I can't believe how good I must have been at Goldeneye back in the day, trying to play through it on 00 Agent requires John Wick levels of headshot action to succeed.

FP has options to make it control like modern dual stick shooters while 2 does not. I love Goldeneye and PD but I could never go back to either with the original controls. I hope a port of Goldeneye, like the excellent PDHD port, could come out someday.

The Kins posted:Looks like Demonastery changes some of the hanging corpse props via DEHACKED to be its own new skull pile props. Normally MetaDoom checks for DEHACKED-modified actors and doesn't replace them, but Demonastery does it in a way that I'm not checking for yet. While I look into whether or not it's even possible for me to detect those kinds of changes, you can go to Options > MetaDoom Options > MetaDoom Spawning Options and set "Enhanced/Breakable Props" to "Disallow - Vanilla Only". Sorry about the hassle! Oy, completely forgot that the vanilla Demonastery does this thing with the skull piles. Such a neat little decoration effect. Still cool that you have somehow predicted it and it can be disabled!

If two chud devs would appear on the strategy genre, well, it's just 2 of 100, 2%, here it's more like 15%.

Right it's more that there aren't a lot of "big" projects and when one of the top ones has shitheads at the helm it's magnified. It doesn't help that it seems the new 3D Realms head is also a shithead - the speedrunning community has an issue with sex assaulters and racists but the big events have been good lately about banning them. If those specific Ion Fury devs had become persona non grata and the Hatred guys not been "invited in" we'd have moved past it.

Volte posted:I don't think Duke has much to do with it specifically, it's just that the retro FPS scene has very long roots. It was a community full of edgy teenagers in the 90s and some people never grew out of it. I was not surprised when I found out the Ion Fury lead dev is TerminX, who I remember from the 3D Realms forum in like 1998. I don't remember any of his posts or anything specifically but judging by the stuff I do remember about interacting with people from that community, that whole thing makes a lot of sense in context. His meltdown in the DNF thread sure was something.

Now that I think about it, the problematic side of retro FPS has been always on the 'Build' branch of the FPS history. From D3D hookers, to Shadow Warrior's racism, to DNF... everything, and still continues today with Ion Fury's dev comments. I guess the other main branch, the 'id' branch of Doom and Quakes and its clones, has always been so preoccupied by gameplay and aesthetics and an abstractness far away from the real world, that it's hard to be problematic at all, when you are that disinterested to reflect the real world in some form into the game.

It's the 3D, drives people to bigotry. Just too many dimensions. Quake got away with it by being overwhelmingly brown and having you kill white culture (knights, vore fans who keep shooting their fetish at you, giant white dudes shooting lightning). Shooters should have stayed 2.5D nazi-killers.

al-azad posted:What are your recommendations for fun standalone weapon sets or additions to Doom that don't directly mess with the game's balance? Looking to spice up vanilla Doom. Well, any standalone weapon set is potentially going to mess up the balance. Some more, others less. Fan favorite weapon sets and Final Doomer, High Noon Drifter, Eriguns I and II. Some overpowered mods (opposite of what you are asking) are Guncaster, Trailblazer and Typhon. To be Honest HND is half way there. If you want spice up the gaphicx and feel of weapons of vanilla Doom, try Hires Smooth Doom. And perkristian hi-res Doom sound pack. Another way to do it without touching up the balance would be having new monster skins, try Shades of Doom.
