I thought it was less "#FuckGearbox" and more "#FuckRandy." Gearbox has some good games, but Ol' Randy's a tool.

I played WT through Raze a few months ago and Alien World Order does kick rear end. There are a few genuinely challenging levels, so I might not start with it.

idk, why give Epic money? Particularly when they're outright abandoning support. Buy something else from GOG and download the Unreal GOG installers from wherever.

Perhaps you have not been to the *Playground*.
The *Playground* is for Taalo and for Orz, but *Campers* can go.
It more fun than several.
You can go there for too much fun.
Eh, gently caress it. I'll pay four bucks to not have to hunt for the ones I'm missing later. I should probably play through the ones I have already too...

Ease of access if nothing else, plus 6 to 8 bucks for three classic games(and one goofy pile of jank) is an excellent deal, also there's already a fan made master server for Unreal & UT99 and we'll probably see one setup for UT2K4 within a few months as well

Dusk, Amid Evil, Prodeus, Wrath: Aeon of Ruin and Chasm are all pretty solid right? Has anyone played Deadlink? I don't think it's retro but it is on my WL and I gotta ask

e: oh poo poo nightmare reaper too. That's like 6 boomer shooters + probably doom 2, dn3d and possibly blood if I've got change

Deadlink is very not retro but it's a good time if you like metaprogression roguelite FPSes and nuDoom-adjacent combat.

Fair warning, it can feel kind of bad until you get some weapon damage in the upgrade tree and don't end up having to shotgun basic grunts in the head twice to kill them.

Prodeus is really solid. There's only one campaign episode so far but it's a very good one. I'll have to check later if the community maps have been updated.

They realistically have no reason to even want you to play Unreal or pay them pennies for it. Every minute you're playing Unreal is a minute you're not immersed in the Fortnite V-bucks economy.

I used LASKIP to get past the third level, the sewer level, that stopped me in my tracks when I was a kid. It feels so weird to actually play it as a regular shooter with mouseaim and quicksaves. I love it, but man some of these mazes are ridiculous.

I found Fest to be much more mazey than the sewer level, the sewer level actually wasn't so bad with a decent resolution and mouselook. I find it amazing how well the game still holds up!

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
I just returned to Cultic after a short hiatus so I could knock out the last achievements (spend $15k in survival mode, make it through a level without getting injured, and find all of the secrets). For the 4 maps where I was still missing secrets, I decided to jump into each one with the pistol-start option on Extreme difficulty. Let me tell you, you definitely play differently when you're starting each level with only a pistol; even monster in-fighting becomes an important mechanic to exploit at times.

By the end of the Asylum level, I had maybe a dozen bullets left to deal with an Incinerator and quartet of knights, and I ended up frantically kiting them around until I could gas up the generator and jump in the lift to exit the level by the skin of my teeth.

~37 hours well spent.

e: so Amid Evil seems pretty great except it kinda runs for poo poo on my terrible PC. Bummer. I've got it at medium settings though and it's running... fine? Has a grainy look to everything but not really a dealbreaker. Bigger problem is the cursor really seems to overshoot the menus but that might just be a sensitivity issue that I can't notice because I've got a staff that fires homing blue poo poo. I was wondering why more games didn't do the mystical weapons route because it always seemed fun to me but I was a weirdo who kinda like hexen too

Batman Rogue City really is something else. Incredibly detailed environments and solid level design with unique tricks like a grappling hook and weapons set.

it is also BASTARD hard and halfway through level three I just threw on the invincibility cheat

Dusk otoh runs like a dream :swoon:. So far seems to play like one too. I got a feeling I'm really gonna like this game. Anyone who's got Amid Evil and Wrath:AoR, how fares the latter in comparison hardware wise? Overall the screenshots make it seem like it'd be easier on the ole potato but I've been tricked before.

I bound grapple to middle mouse and finally got going. The tutorial doesn't require an air dash or a wall climb but apparently there are options for both in the menu???
