Artelier posted:Been a while, is there a mod for Dusk's episode 3 enemy? The scary (or at least, uncanny valley) one. You know the one. I had to stop my run when that guy was introduced because I was too on edge to progress. When I say a mod, iunno. Maybe something that makes it less creepy to me. Or tone down the sound a bit. Something. He looks like a funny little friend when you play the game on mute. He's kind of cute, really. Gaspy Conana posted:Do it. IMO Blood is the best Build game but the cultists can ruin it. I made it to stage 2 and decided this could not continue so I've already done it. Nothing like a nice blind corner into death from both sides with cultists. Also am I missing something or is it impossible to bounce dynamite around corners?

But in the game atmosphere with the sound and the sudden filling of the screen he just creeps me out too much for me to play and it stresses me out too much.

So I quite like Prodeus, especially now that I can see things. The last 4 maps they've added are just head and shoulders over the first few maps, and if thats representative of the rest of the game, it'll be super lovely.

I want a DUSK 2 so badly but I know duskdev Dave wanted to do his smaller games (like he did before DUSK) and he's also working on Gloomwood. Wouldn't be surprised if he's helping with Fallen Aces as well.

The Steam version gives you both the new port and the original DOS version. As far as I know the GOG one is just the old DOS version (which is enough if you're just going to be playing with unofficial source ports anyway).

The GOG versions don't (currently?) include the re-releases, and the Steam releases include the original versions (DOS for Doom, WinQuake/GLQuake for Quake 1).

Barudak posted:Yeah, Blood isn't gonna be for me. I bounced very hard off of Blood the first time I played it. The weapons all felt strange, and the zombies would keep waking up after I knocked them down. I didn't like it. Then I reinstalled it on a whim and started to experiment with the weapons. I eventually came around to liking how I could fire the flare gun at one enemy and then spin around to the focus on the rest while putting both barrels into every zombie. Corralling enemies into splash-zone sized groups is also really fun. I can see how anyone would not be into how different Blood is, but I think it can be enjoyed if you try to not play it like other FPS games.

Blood is probably the best build game, it has a great atmosphere and vibe without being as... flat? or racist as shadow warrior but still has a fun main character with a lot of personality that isn't as over the top as DN3D. Also the level design stays great whereas I feel like I feel like the levels in duke fall off in terms of quality after E1.

A big new HL1 TC came out a couple days ago, Half Life Delta: https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-delta Anyone check it out? The guy's been working on it for over a decade but lord knows, that's not necessarily a mark of quality.

a lot of the alt fires are way better at killing zombies. i think the shotgun alt fire kills them in one hit? and the flare gun alt fire definitely cooks them. on lightly broiled at least.

If you play Atomic, episode 4 is a mixed bag and oh boy I hate the final part of that one. World Tour is... OK I guess? I didn't like the old expansion packs. Since Blood got the Fresh Supply release, I changed my mind in my favourite Build game and now leans towards Blood, but only with made to order settings, otherwise it can get really frustrating. Level design and atmosphere? The best by far and Death Wish is brilliant.

I only kind of like regular Blood but Death Wish is genuinely one of the best fpseses I've ever played. I've played it through 3 times since last Halloween

Other than that, Blood is awesome like this

crondaily posted:What is the reason for the changes? Cultists in Blood are notorious of being too fast and accurate with their hitscan weapons. Nerfing them a little makes the game more fun and lets you run and gun like you want instead of having to duck and cover every room

crondaily posted:What is the reason for the changes? Yeah, the main things that make Blood annoying are getting insta-killed by cultists the moment you walk round a corner and the killer doors of death. You either play normal difficulties and get used to scouting around corners with TNT at the ready for the whole game, or adjust the difficulty and actually enjoy it. (also fresh supply fixed the door problem)

I have beef with "actually enjoy it", because you can totally play Blood on normal difficulties, but you do have to adjust your mindset, and mostly for the first episode where it's really cultist heavy. Especially That Room in map 5 I think it was. You get used to it though, but if you wanna lower cultist aggression that's not a terrible idea it definitely makes the game less frustrating in parts.

I also have a map here too but I freely admit it's one of the least good in it Ha, I absolutely loved the atmosphere in your map and it's prequel last year.. The part with the archviles in the morgue...  Going to try a run through of the pack with Demonsteele soon, because I think the monsters would be perfect for that.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but after wondering what the hell was going on with the Blood + Doom (BLOOM) crossover mod for a few years now, it turns out that the final version released over Halloween: https://www.moddb.com/mods/bloom-doomblood-crossover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWa5xVaIDHE

yeah i played blood on the default lightly broiled difficulty and it was still tons of fun. just hard and twitchy. every enemy being so dangerous makes it a really tense game.

Remember that crouching makes it harder for cultists to hit you in Blood as well.
