Convex posted:Specifically, the moveset (ie having two dodges which recharge, a double jump, the chainsaw as an 'aaaaaahhh gently caress this' option, the ladders and platforming) reminds me of doom eternal, as well as the enormous scale of the level design, which I also felt D:E did well at. Yeah I largely agree, along with the fact that at higher difficulties in both games, you get vaporized extremely quickly, which necessitates constant aggressive and frenetic movement to keep ahead of the combat. That's something that reminded me a lot of DE on Nightmare.

I never played AVP2 from 2001. Only really interested in the marine campaign. Is it any good? I know it got some rave reviews back in the Elder Days.

I've been replaying a bit of AVP Classic on steam and 2 from a pack that installs the game and the expansion pretty much automatically since it's mostly abandonware and I think Classic is pretty rough but 2 holds up decently. I've always enjoyed the Alien/Predator campaigns more but the Marine campaign is good too.

Guillermus posted:This one looks fun. Australian themed Half-life It's the only FPS survival crafty type game that I've ever liked - I took part in the open playtest over December and it was really good fun. Definitely heavily Half-Life inspired, to the extent that even some of the textures are very similar & the gameplay kind of hits some of the same notes as the early Half-Life mod days.

Finished up Wolfenstein 09 for the first time today. I thought it was pretty good overall, and have some thoughts on it:
Overall, I'm glad I played it! I think I'll tackle Prey 2006 next - I only ever played the demo on 360.

If you ever go back and replay, I highly recommend grabbing the axe from near the beginning of the level and using the slow-mo power to go full axe-murderer for as long as possible.

I definitely enjoyed doinking the ax off various nazis heads for sure. The sound it makes on contact is pretty funny.

If so, you got a link? Deffo sounds like something I wanna check out.

the worst part of skeleton warriors is the game how the gently caress do you make such a bad game? it would have been slightly less bad if it had the theme song but no, they failed at even that

Late to the party, but I finally made my way through myhouse.wad and one of the side effects is I feel like I'll never hear the MAP01 music the same way again. I'll always be afraid that it's going to start changing.

Just finished Storage on System Shock remake. There's uh, a lot of guns here, in addition to a grenade launcher that is in no way worth its space. I don't recall having much trouble in the OG games, as several guns where joke items and/or just plain poo poo, but they seem want to be avoiding that philosphy here but there's no way even the storage unit can make trucking all these toys around practical. I've been dumping stuff at the elevators, like in the old game - ironic.

I'm sure I already know the answer, but is there any possible legal recourse to this? Could all the people Embracer hosed over come together and get some kind of recompense out of them?

no, when you're a company it is for some reason very legal and very cool to buy up stuff with the promise that you will have the money to actually afford it eventually and dump everything when it turns out you won't
