Doom 3 was fine, just not a great doom. There were a couple pitiful weapons and sounds for them though. And they can lick my balls from the back for the redesigned Cacodemon.

in Doom64, in one of the hell levels there's a wailing scream in the background that sounds just like Mr Wilson from the Dennis the Menace cartoon and that haunts me to this day

Bulletstorm and Sunset Overdrive are the two games most deserving of sequels. Also remake/redos of Total Overdose and Wet wouldn't go amiss

satanic splash-back posted:Every D&D player I've met recently has been even more broke brained than "gamers" because they all worship a few streamers and/or stream their own games and just like all streamers, they're all insufferable. Figures there's the downside of pretty much everyone now getting into D&D doing it because of podcasters. The current edition's poo poo, too, iirc most of the original podcasters don't even actually use the system anymore or at least out cut out almost all of the parts where they do.

But the ones using equally unsuitable systems without the name recognition? They're just being dumb. Just freeform it. The game mechanics come up, like, three times an episode at most. Why are you shackling yourself to this system that is doing nothing for you?

A skilled DM can make it work. NADDPOD is great and they are only hombrewing a couple of aspects, and DND rule lawyering has lead to some absolutely iconic moments

Doom Eternal was okay but tried to distract you from the shallow kill kill with whatever platforming, stupid exploration, and introducing new weapons, no I don't need another melee option. Oh yeah and RPG character progression but I suppose all games do that now a days. It also had swimming, who the gently caress wants swimming? I don't want swimming. They knew people didn't want swimming there's a reason why it was only like in one part of the game.

I'm playing it on hard mode and it really clicks all the mechanisms into place to the point each arena set piece battle almost seems like a puzzle aswell as an action game. The last of us was very average and the story was completely undermined by how many people Joel strangles to death. I can't be bothered to finish it, but I probably would've watched it if it was a film.

I have a child but I've not strangled 50 people yet? It's a standard videogame problem but the number of people he kills just knocks the story all out of whack for me. Death stranding was great for creating an action (ish) game where death wasn't a trivial part of progression

I played Halflife 2 when it first came out in November 2004, so I'll admit that maybe it's my nostalgia talking. I'll have to play it again.

Doom 3 is great because it's a fun horror game that came out before Amnesia released and the entire genre turned into tedious stealth games for a decade.

i remember really liking doom 3 even over rage which i felt was really uneven. doom 3 atleast felt like a complete vision. i didnt have a pc growing up so i had no nostalgia for doom, after playing them they do feel like a quirky half life mod or sven coop map which i found charming but hard to really fall in love with.

Escape from butcher bay did. Months before Doom 3. On console. And it was a better game. Doom 3 sucks.

ilmucche posted:Ravenholm is very scary. I don't like zombies IMO most of Ravenholm is merely creepy (at best), not scary, but the part where you're on the roof and the fast-zombies are climbing the drainpipes is legitimately the scariest thing in any videogame I've ever played. CRAZY KNUCKLES FAN posted:i liked highway 17 more as a "standout" level but ravenholm is still really good  ; Highway 17 is the chapter I go back to most often if I just want to jam a little HL2 for old time's sake. Honestly every chapter in HL2 is iconic, except maybe "anticitizen one" and "follow freeman!" (the city sections in the latter half of the game) which drag on a bit too long. But even those have some cool moments imo.

The key bit that put me off tbh was a school level I think where I'd snuck through trying to minimise the amount of killing, got to the doors and the game seemed to want me to go back and kill the rest of the bandits before it would progress. It would've been fine if there was a scene where Ellie says "wow Joel you're really good at strangling people to death" and they joke and have some horseplay with a nearby a pile of people he's killed

Tiggum posted:If you're setting out to make an RPG actual play podcast/stream/vod, you're kind of caught in a dilemma where D&D is absolutely terrible for what you want to do, but if you don't use it then you lose the massive advantage of name recognition. Like I said the popular streamers don't actually use the system and 'a skilled DM can make it works' is the 'mods will fix it' of TRPGs, but the real funny thing both with players and audiences is that you can basically run anything and just tell them that it's D&D and they won't know the difference.

One thing I strongly appreciated about Quake4, and so it sticks with me years later, is the passive dynamic difficulty. Basically small mechanical things. Like there's a point where you have a squad of marines with you, including guys who'll give you unlimited hp and armour if you ask them. Except that they're total idiots and walk face first into every ambush, so in order to keep them around you have to take point and flush everyone out - therefore suddenly really needing all that healing. Or you can let them die and play smart with peeking/dodging, but will have to make do with no refills. Same thing with the HP stations; medkits on the ground are totally standard hp stuff, with excess healing above max being wasted. But the HP stations only heal you to ~half hp, so it's healing only available to player who are struggling. It's a really minor thing, like really really, but it stuck with me, especially after all the Crysis-styled infinite healing post-combat that was floating around at the time I felt. I'm a very simple man with simple fps tastes.
