An early RTS thread better start with Herzog Zwei and how much it kicks rear end.

Done. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3952354 I'm sure I missed all sorts of poo poo, and I used this thread as a baseline, but hopefully it's sufficient for now.

Having briefly mucked about in Dromed (Second worst map in the TG 20th anniversary competition! Third worst if you include the map that got disqualified because someone glued together bits from other people's maps) anything that makes bloody room brushing easier will be a massive bonus.

Turns out 3D Realms owed Bobby Prince royalties after all. Oops! https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/gearbox-and-duke-nukem-composer-settle-lawsuit-after-3d-realms-admits-it-inadvertently-overlooked-licence/ PC Gamer posted:"We at 3D Realms appreciate Bobby Prince, Randy Pitchford, and the Gearbox team for working with us to address the concerns raised in Mr. Prince's lawsuit. After review by counsel, a licence with Bobby was inadvertently overlooked by 3D Realms when we sold Gearbox the Duke Nukem catalog. We are relieved to have the issues resolved and extend our best to everyone."

Strange that he'd agree to cover his own legal fees in the settlement.

Going by experience a favorable settlement is worded in a passive way something like "we agree to pay so-and-so X amount and recommend Y amount of the settlement set aside for the client's counsel." I'm sure 3D Realms isn't happy while Randy walks off laughing like a comic book villain.

What was that HL2 mod that came out in the past two years or so that was kind of a big deal? I'm afraid I don't remember anything more than that.

It’s a standard military FPS but you can move fast and do parkour. also there are giant robot segments, decent boss fights, and a number of memorable gimmick levels to keep things from getting too rote. I wasn’t blown away by it but it’s definitely better than the average Call of Duty

It has a couple of incredibly inventive levels and the movement and shooting feel great. It's def not as good as Dusk though or amid evil or either of the new Dooms. Probably some other ones I'm forgetting too.

Please stop, it's so ugly. The cherry on top is the desynced sound, but I did also appreciate how the spectres actually looked ok, right up until you saw them with invulnerability active and then they're back to being poo poo.

That’s almost kinda charming compared to that last vid. The Doom monsters Quake 2ified. Not a boomer shooter but what do you guys think of the Metro games? 2033 Redux is free today on Epic.

I played Metro: Last Light when it came out, I enjoyed it. Very linear, but an interesting setting that's fun to be in with a good respect for ammo conservation. M:LL also had a more open-world exploration sub-game that's survival based. No comment on the Redux remakes, nor Exodus, as I can't get them to run.

I really liked the Metro series for what they were going for: distilling a bit of Half life style fps into it's own setting. Can't speak for Exodus. Also at one point a 10 year old boy strolled up and spoke in a 30+ year old Russian smoker's voice so it was a solid game all around.

SeANMcBAY posted:That’s almost kinda charming compared to that last vid. The Doom monsters Quake 2ified. I love them and have played them all extensively. Exodus in particular has a very “STALKER” feel to it, mechanically, with how many of the segments are large, open maps that can be freely explored and are dotted with camps and ruins and mutants and bandits. One of the earliest segments, Volga, is especially reminiscent: trudging through mud and swamp, scrounging for gear, dispatching bandits and wandering mutant hordes. It’s true that some people hold it against Exodus that a majority of it is spent above ground, but I feel like the reality is that eventually the story had to exit the sprawling subterranean metro system, and it did it in a way that felt very satisfying, with plenty of beautiful post-apocalyptic environments and scenarios.
