Casimir Radon posted:RA1 has the lovely canyon mission to start with. RA2 has shooting gallery with nothing to run into for the first level, and the second is pretty forgiving too. RA1 also has some weird joystick deadzone issues that makes it a lot harder than it should be. We tried joystick, keyboard, and mouse, and none of them made it any easier, it was wild. The T-16 Skyhopper yearns for the canyon walls.

Chapter 3 I never quite got good enough at to beat consistently without taking a bunch of damage. For several chapters after that it’s actually pretty easy. https://youtu.be/MN4uwehtM8Y?si=OYVLcPURZBUDdFte

I finally beat Dusk on Cero Miedo. Never again. That's it. I've peaked. I can gladly uninstall and never look back. Great game and all, but that was way too much for me to handle at times.

I'm getting squirmy for Phantom Fury. Like I know it's not currently the game it should be, and I'm still holding out hope that a series of patches will unfuck the biggest complaints about it, but I want it to be good. It's right up my alley.

Yeah, I only started playing "early FPS" as an adult, the post-HL, linear shooter is where my childhood lies, so I'll definitely be picking up PF at some point, especially since confirming the shooting feels good now.

Rage 2 is quite fun but being an open world didn't feel like it played to the games strengths that much. That and the weapons were varied but the shotgun and rifle were 90% or more of the time the most efficient option.

Rage 2's combat was weirdly good, a proper mix of twitchy and cerebral, and it would've benefited from being a lean linear shooter instead of a bloated open world game Rage 1 is the nadir and serves only to calibrate measurement tools to absolute zero

Rage1's competition at the time was Borderlands1/2, and since it had actual gunplay in it it fared decently enough. I honestly would really like to see a return to that world and linear environment, just with... less fetch quests.

Rage 2 is fun on account of id did the combat. Incredibly shallow open world, and the convoy raids were kind of disappointing after Mad Max.

Rage 1 has some actual fun fights in it but there's so much "open world" cruft that just keeps killing the fun.

The main thing I remember about Rage 1 is that it doesn't have an ending, it just crashes to a halt all of a sudden. It's like they brought in Neal Stephenson to write the script

Oh nice, I hope the patch really does fix the music timing because it's really bothersome. The OPL3 isn't as bad but it's still pretty bad. And I'd prefer general MIDI for a more "remastered" feel. I know the music ended up being way more complicated than anyone could've imagined but it was still a tough pill to swallow. Also I just got up to the ice level and somehow got stuck right away and just quit instead. Hopefully this fixes that.

I like Rage 2's combat more than Doom Eternal and I say this as a positive thing. Doom Eternal went too much into Dante Must Die difficulty for me. I really liked Doom Eternal and the DLCs but for me is a one and done forever.

Not directly "early FPS" - maybe Arkane's earlier work? - but those fuckers are making me even fear for id... Just terrible all around in any case.
