A friend made a cool level for my gameplay mod MetaDoom, showcasing a lot of the features and such. It's pretty neat!

Max Wilco posted:Regardless, I've got it marked as 'done' in my backlog. If I ever decide to revisit it, or I'm compelled to pick up the HD version of it or The Second Encounter, I'll probably play it on a lower difficulty. I've still got Serious Sam 2 and 3, but I don't plan on tackling those right now. From what I remember, Serious Sam 2 apparently gets pretty crazy and goofy with its presentation, while Serious Sam 3 falls into a lot of triple-A game trappings that bog it down I feel like TSE is like Doom II in the sense that it's fundamentally another iteration of TFE but with various improvements and improved variety. The two play extremely similar, but TSE has more of everything. SS2 seems to be one of the most divisive games in the series. Both it and SS3 (AKA "BFE") have a lot of detractors, but SS2's fans are pretty enthusiastic about the things they think it gets right. By comparison, even the people who are fine with SS3 are generally just "fine" with it. SS4 & its standalone expansion "Siberian Mayhem" are generally improvements on SS3 in most ways: More color, more chaos, more weapons, more environments, and less creeping around in dark tunnels.

TSE is a much better experience than TFE. Also a lot longer from what I remember. I never finished them solo but they're great co-op games. SS2 and 3 were both a slog IMO, but SS3 was short enough that I ended up powering through it. The Call of Duty parody part of that game goes on way too long for its own good.

Johnny Joestar posted:everyone knows the sound of the best plasma rifle in the entire series Am I the only one who doesn't like Doom 3's Plasma Rifle sound? To me it's too wimpy pew-pew as opposed to Classic Doom, where it sound like an actual lethal weapon spewing out hot death. Hell, most of Doom 3's SFX lack the sheer gravitas of Classic Doom's. They're just so perfect.

I think Serious Sam 2 is very good and fun but it's also like the longest shooter in history. It just keeps going. The attempts at humor are rough though and it's also got some odd casual racism with some of the levels which is really out of left field.

verbal enema posted:when will video games stop being so red In fairness, the level stops being so red after the first couple minutes as soon as you get inside the titular entryway. It's a very neat level! That being said, I very pointedly have not played Doom Eternal as of yet (despite owning it for ages), but it its implementation in MetaDoom is any indication, I can kinda see why everyone hates the Marauder, based off of its appearance here. Took me ages to figure out how I was actually supposed to hurt it.

Someone mentioned co-op in a previous post, and that's something I meant to touch on. I can certainly see these games being more entertaining if you've got a couple other people with you to take on the hordes of enemies, and you'd probably blaze through the game a lot faster (dunno if having more players multiplies the enemy count, though). That's why if I did get TSE, I'd go with the HD version on Steam. The classic version on GOG doesn't work anymore since it went through GameSpy.

For some reason, until I saw that level release I thought Metadoom was like, a collection of useful resources for Doom modders and not a gameplay/content mod in its own right. I've believed that for years. It's on my to-play list now, though.

I'm gonna be honest with you: Even as one of the thread's biggest Serious Sam stans, I still play the HD versions of TFE & TSE when I revisit them. You lose some of the gravity-bending arenas of TSE by playing the HD version, but it's frankly not an enormous loss in my opinion.

What exactly are the gravity parts of TSE and what were they replaced with? I’ve heard something about running around on the walls and ceiling. Was the player/enemies capable of changing planes (IE transition from floor to wall)? Were there teleporters involved? Was it just another arena with purely visual changes, or did the gravity actually affect gameplay?

There were a couple of places where gravity was nonlinear, like a fight that took place on the inside of a cylinder. It was technically impressive but not very fun because the enemies were much better at maneuvering and aiming than you under those circumstances

PC Gamer did an article on playing Duke3D. Pretty basic, at least for us, but fun to see. I went and finished up Duke Caribbean, so now I can say I've completed it and Duke it out in DC. I could go onto Nuclear Winter, but... why.

anilEhilated posted:I'd love to see it get a proper remaster with maybe some reworking of the stealth segments. 90% of it is a really fun game. Apparently they got a new team to update the remake, maybe they'll manage? The video they showed looked better, but we'll see. Edit: Played the Duke mod Moonbase Accident, it was generally pretty solid. A more lived-in kinda spacebase than Lunar Apocalypse, like I was thinking about. New sounds for the weapons, the shrinker is replaced with a weapon that normally does loads of damage, but still shrinks battlelords so it's pretty useful. catlord fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Jul 18, 2022 |

My biggest beef with it is how weirdly balanced the enemy vs player damage is. On the easiest difficulty you can die super fast to two enemies with the most basic pistol. It feels like it wasn't playtested as much as it needed to be. But! The visual style, level variety, the guns, and oh man the MUSIC. All mint.

This is seared in my brain because as stated boy howdy do you get a lot of time to ruminate on your failures in that game

The boss fights are probably the worst part of XIII's combat. The canyon part rules because of the wild west vibes.

I played quite a bit of multiplayer on LAN on some pretty crazy maps, like the one that took place in an Eischer painting. Or the one that was a tiny planet where you could launch yourself into actual orbit if you tried hard enough. Or the CTF map where the main play area was a mobius strip so if you jumped juuuuust right you could whip yourself to the other side of the inch-thick platform you were standing on to surprise the flag carrier (or more probably fling yourself into the abyss and die) In SP the gravity fuckery was pretty much a fight in a cylinder and a fight on a totally vertical slab where gravity was relative down. They were cool but losing the gravity-bending multiplayer meant the Serious Engine lost me.

Started playing Amid Evil. It never really appealed to me but I got it in some bundle and being in a shooter mode I thought why not. Boy did I get hooked fast. Really like the level design, the fact that every episode introduces new enemies, (coming from Ion Fury) not absurdly hidden secrets, and most of the weapons are fun. The Axe is so chunky
