The reddit thread for the Thatcher wad is 99% deleted posts and I'm really curious to see what they look like
Based off the screenshots people sent me:

- typically unhinged stuff about white racism
- a guy crying that the woman that “made his parents successful” was being denigrated in a Doom game
- someone suggesting that it was the equivalent of a wad where “Jews get to murder Jeremy Corbyn for his crimes” and other bizarre false equivalences.

You know you have to do an end scene where the Doom Marine takes off his helmet and reveals you were playing as Jeremy Corbyn the whole time.

As a Glaswegian, my biggest regret is that I didn’t make the “drive a stake through her heart” wummin (see last page) the main character. Having her on the HUD sprite would have been great, but it only occurred to me a few weeks ago and I think it would take too long to put in now. I’m glad others made the connection, at least.

Not quite an FPS, but while searching for something else I came across an old game called Echelon: Wind Warriors, a sort of space/flight sim and it looks kind of cool? Anyone have any experience with this? https://store.steampowered.com/app/311100/Echelon_Wind_Warriors/

It's fantastic, probably the best future semi-sim flight system. But it's fairly buggy, so sometimes you'll end up having to restart missions because a script trigger didn't fire or the AI didn't do what it was supposed do.

But for pure flight feel it's unbeaten.

The gore system is still impressive and I can't think of any recent games that even approach it as far as how many dismemberment points there were, combined with gnarly poo poo like bones sticking out and arterial spray after you amputate a dude's leg with a shotgun.

there is a really rare death animation where an enemy's guts fall out and they're like holding them and looking at them. I've only triggered it once and I can't find a clip of it on youtube.

They added Mecha-Thatcher as a boss to Warframe some time ago and you can tell the voice actor was just reveling in it

Playthrough for Hexen done!

---

Did you have fun with DOOM? Did you like the parts where you killed the poo poo out of demons? You didn't really care about exploring, just loved the feeling of your pumping blood go through you as you killed everything, SAW THEIR BLOOD SPLURT EVERYWHERE, JUST WANTED TO loving KILL EVERYTHING WITH ALL THE WEAPONS gently caress YEAAAAAAAAA?! *snort cocaine*

Game rating: 0/5 stars. You will not like this game.

---

Ok, so Hexen isn't a FPS, it's more of a First-Person Explorer. Spending the hours looking for the switches / combos for that unlock on that other map (99% of the game is a hub design) is cool, if you're into that thing. It does get pretty tighter and restrictive too - you'll need to use those items to avoid more damage (the inventory system from Heretic returns, and it's a good thing to add). As you get further into the game, things'll get a little bit more dangerous overall. The level design is a lot better, and tighter than Heretic too; the hub format helps out here. It's a pretty enough game too, for it's time.

Alas, the problem IS the hub design. There's a LOT of backtracking, and a lot of re-killing the same enemies you've seen hundreds of times. And the worst part is that you've only got 4 weapons, but only really 2 on your level-to-level use. Your others are your poo poo fallback weapon, and your super-powerful weapon which costs too much mana, and isn't always the best choice due to map layout.

However, I'm willing to give Hexen another chance, because of my 3 role choices (Fighter/Cleric/Mage), I went with Fighter; and it felt like I was just a melee bitch with 75% swipe->walkback->swipe->repeat combat style. But, I'm going to replay Hexen again with it's xpac (Deathkings of the Dark Citadel), so we'll see how much difference a class + weaps makes. I'll also replay Deathkings of the Dark Citadel with Mage, just to see.

---

I give Hexen a possible 2.5/5 stars - tbc

(it should be 1.5/5 because I lost hours looking for a key that was staring me in the face but had the same texture as the wall behind, and that hour I lost due to a bugged trigger, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck)



And as always, special thanks to GZDoom for just being awesome and making life so easy

If you ever get interested in Hexen, make sure you have two friends. The game seemed more suited for having all 3 character classes in play, even if the engine didn't cope as well (due to the hub design).

And especially play the Faithless Trilogy mod for Heretic, which is pretty much all the interesting aspects of Hexen ported to Heretic.

...rough day at the orifice.
I started playing Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi yesterday and I'm hooked. Has anyone messed with it? It's really rough around the edges but the core loop is interesting. You rescue people (escort missions :allears:) from a semi randomly generated vampire castle using holy powers and some Battlegrounds style weapons (its supposed to be very early 20th century). The atmosphere is really good. The physics are really bad though: If you walk over curved surfaces you get yeeted into the ceiling, doors will gib you, etc.
