Johnny Joestar posted:i feel like it's kind of dishonest to frame it that way given that the full context is the character is called eddie riggs, eddie being the name of the iron maiden's mascot and being something designed by derek riggs, an artist who is responsible for like a lot of the band's album art. it was very bluntly a direct reference to iron maiden as a whole. like i'm not going to say it wasn't petty but lol this is a wild way to present it What's wrong with the ion fury devs

Quantum of Phallus posted:Yeah I mean it was just made as an add on for the Dreamcast port. I did a real half life wiki deep dive last night. I have to play Decay! A seperate fan-port is in development that remixes it as a single-player experience, and it has a demo to check out and a Steam page for you to wishlist. I haven't tried it, but it's there.

I'm replaying Max Payne and forgot how enemies can shoot each other by accident. This is particularly funny when Max dives into a room full of goons, one of whom shouts "It's Payne!" and then shoots his friend point blank in the gut

it's a perfectly normal panic response to shoot random people who aren't your intended target. hell, cops do it all the time

I have a fuzzy memory of Harlan Ellison appearing on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and announcing that his penis had fallen off and acting angry towards a very confused Maher. I've tried to find a clip of the show or try and confirm this hazy recollection but throwing "Harlan Ellison penis fall off" into a search bar hasn't been helpful.

I think it depends on whether or not you're quickloading or hitting the use key to load the last save whenever you die

Wait, it doesn't? I definitely remember doing more damage with headshots and a quick google search confirms that it is a thing unless this is some kind of Mandela effect situation. UnknownMercenary fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Dec 2, 2022 |

Do they have armor? I've seen some people say hs work in 2 but not 1. Armor might account for the tougher enemies. Anyway, the madman finally did it; Cultic in sub 10 minutes. That chapel eats up so much time lol. I half expect them to find some way to break it and skip it at this point

No that can't be right I'm pretty sure headshots do more damage they just aren't instant kills.

I finally got around to finishing Cultic and I think it might be my favorite retro shooter of them all. The movement and fight dynamics are just fantastic, haven't had this much fun zooming around the battlefield and blowing up dudes since Bulletstorm. Also, very good level design. I didn't really care for the open area -> tunnels -> open area -> tunnels alternation the early levels had (I think Mine Town is the worst offender here) but once you get past that it's all fresh and has a great sense of escalation.

I've played through Max Payne 1 a few times and honestly never noticed headshots doing any more damage than body shots. In fact I'm pretty sure I've tested it and it takes around the same number of bullets so if head shots do more damage then I seriously don't think it's as drastic as 500% more damage unless there's something bugged with the times I've replayed it. It's not like Max Payne 3, where headshots do make a noticeable difference and you get visual feedback on getting one. I always thought the design differences between Max Payne 1 and 2 compared to 3 is that 1 and 2 reward quick reflexes to activate bullet time and spraying and praying whereas 3 rewards using bullet time to line up accurate headshots to take harder enemies out immediately.

huh, chatting about the old Duke games on the N64 last night, looked it up today and Zero Hour was a Build title!? https://twitter.com/LuciferBPolaris/status/1434990984497147911 Shame the source isn't available, I'd love to see another N64 remaster / port on PC here.
