As far as FPS Roguelikes/lites go, Receiver is my white whale. I love the concept. I love the way you have to manipulate each part and function of whatever pistol you spawn with individually, and the gunfeel is solid, even if you're only using them against stationary turrets and flying tasers. But I'm just so bad at it. I banged my head against Receiver 2 for *checks Steam library* 41 hours before realizing I'd never get past stage 3 out of five, because A) ammo is at a premium and B) there'd always be something that screws me over, from a turret placed at just the right (read: wrong) place, or a taser drone, period. Those bastards are fast and slippery. The environments are very blah, a bit of a step up from the original game (which was made in 7 days, so there's justification for that), but the tension of managing your ammo and listening for the telltale whirr of a turret or a taser's propellers and watching their spotlights makes for compelling gameplay. Sadly, like all the other Rogues that I've brought, ranging from many genres, there comes a point where I simply peak and can't progress any further. I want to like them, I've tried, but they ain't for me.

Nightmare Reaper probably works the best of any Roguelike FPS I've played, probably because it only really applies the formula to having randomized level/enemy/weapon layouts, and drops the whole "you die you have to start all the way from the beginning" part that makes Roguelikes otherwise almost universally unplayable slogs that I have no idea how they've become popular

Gunfire Reborn is the only legit roguelite/FPS.

I’ve never played a first person game that wore procedural map generation well. The best FPS-adjacent roguelike is Jupiter Hell. It’s just Doom but a roguelike. And unlike the 90% of the genre which seems to want you to play like it’s 4-dimensional hyperspace Go and consider every move for 100 years only to lose it all when you inevitably gently caress up, it’s fun and short.

Oh that's awesome. My only complaint about the FA demo was that the comic art was kinda bad. These look great.

@RocketPan what do you make of the PowerSlave comments regarding the changes to aiming behavior affecting the feel of the game play? For example: https://twitter.com/frankcifaldi/status/1491989708708069377 The auto-aim system of the original version is also something John Linneman called out in his video from a few years back as contributing significantly to the overall feel of the game being focused on exploration and which weapons to use, not so much on accuracy.

I never played the original but I think it was a good call due to having more modern controls. Probably should be an option though.

ExcessBLarg! posted:@RocketPan what do you make of the PowerSlave comments regarding the changes to aiming behavior affecting the feel of the game play? For example: Cifaldi's right, the lack (or should I say, the presence) of Y axis aim in the new version is disorienting. Same for the dual-analogue controls, my muscle memory keeps expecting the old scheme, the thing is I don't remember what my custom mappings were. So RN I'm in this weird space where modern FPS controls feel off and I keep missing jumps because I press a face button, or getting hit because I tried to strafe with the L1/R1, yet at the same time I can't really map the 6 button scheme to a 4 button pad, even if I could recall it (which I can't, it's been 20 years). None of this is a knock against the remake, just a bizarre state of affairs that I'd never experienced before. RocketPan, I believe there are a few typos in the original game credits, John Van Deusen is spelled Van Duesen a couple of times.

I also noticed the autoaim being much less forgiving than I'm used to. Granted, I'm also playing on PC, so I have enough fine aiming as it is with the mouse that weaker autoaim isn't so huge a drawback. Almost done with the game, I'm up to the Kilmaat levels now. Also got 9 of the Team Dolls; I found like 5 on my own based on my memories of where they were on Saturn, but enough of them have moved that I'd only be able to find, like, one more past that - and that one would be the goddamn laser maze one.  As such, I've been referencing a YouTube video to at least see what walls I need to blow up are.Debating if I want to 100% the achievements - Hard was suitably difficult, but Pharaoh sounds like it might be a bit much. And knifing a Magmantis...

I'd even score the Q2 SSG higher than Doom 2's, in feel and look. Man, going to have to reinstall Q2 now. A remaster similar to the one Q1 got for Switch would be so good...

Well also its a lurching half step in design between Quake and Half-Life. For me its lacking the purity of its predecessors and the design and QoL of its succesors, a half thing, cursed with unlife.

That's a fair cop, but I think it hits the sweet spot between being a good crowded shooter and being (as per civvy) a linear sequence of scares. The enemy design is lacking and the maps have a few times where you have to go back and it's confusing, but it feels more like a proper 3D Doom game than the actual Doom 3. There's some fun scripted stuff, decent particle effects, and it has that nice dark forces thing where there's a thin veneer of "you're on a mission, you've got to accomplish this thing" so you can almost pretend you're not just trying to kill your way from point a to point b. Plus the dying animations are cool, and the one strogg grunt that gets a couple shots off while dying is neat. Plus the DM was really loving sick.

I am going to be honest - I actually prefer Q2 to Quake. Even worse I have just never gelled with Quake 1 and I don't really enjoy playing it, despite multiple attempts. It's weird and I know that I am well in the minority on that, and that's totally fine. I suppose it's something with the movement or weapons or something like that I guess? I also massively preferred UT to Q3 as well; I've never worked it why exactly cause I absolutely see that they're well made.

I've always preferred Q3 to Unreal but Unreal obviously has it beat on larger big team games. That's always been my favorite aspect of the Unreal series, especially onslaught and assault in 2004.
