Narcissus1916 posted:I might get push back on this, but the Trump Doom mod is almost nothing but great urban city levels (most textures are taken from Duke) that are solidly designed. How do you do fellow liberals? Can I interest you in a mod where you play as Donald Trump? Also, BOTH SIDES in 2018 lol

The Darkness 2 was extremely not this but I loved all the weird little touches in the first game like being able to watch the entirety of To Kill a Mockingbird with your girlfriend. Then IIRC she’s a big titty monster in 2 so welp.

I wish The Darkness 1 came to PC. It had that same kinda Starbreeze charm that Riddick had. The short breaks inbetween the gun sections to let you explore the city were nice, and something about those graphics are nostalgic. Mmmm stencil shadows Maybe it'll be playable within a few years through that PS3 emulator

Also, BOTH SIDES in 2018 There's an extended riff where reskinned Wolfenstein Nazis are now BernieBros. I rest my case. Also the gent asked for some decent Duke 3d styled levels and I provided. Check out the Youtube video if you think it might be your thing. If not, that's cool too. I just spent my day getting spat on by white nationalists, so I'll end the political talk here. There's also another Doom mod (Going Down?) where its almost like Doom Does Die Hard as you make your way floor-by-floor through a skyscraper. Pretty good fun too.

Apparently a Cacoward winner! I gave it a shot and it's quite good if also fairly hard. It's got a penchant for teleporting monsters into the area you're in, which I'm not a huge fan of, but it's inventive and clever and nicely designed.

Going Down's fantastic and is made by the British man who makes those weird recursive animations. It actually shows in his mod, too.

If Final Doomer does a Going Down class, I hope the weapons are weird, constantly shifting flesh-masses.

It also has what I feel is the most eerie, abstract & hellish portrayal of WW1 in a game. I know WW1 has a spotlight shining on it recently with Battlefield 1 and all its realism but you never get taken away from the fact that it's still just a video game. The Darkness's nightmare scenarios nailed the hopelessness and futility that's often described in WW1 memoirs. It's an overlooked classic that stuck with me for a while back when I played it all those years ago.

I'm still strongly of the opinion that Going Down should be played only in vanilla if only because the gameplay balance is so tight I feel like it'd be a shame to throw it off. I really enjoyed how it very deliberately doesn't give you enough resources to clean rooms in encounters forcing you to constantly push forward for more ammo, health, and better weapons while constantly under pressure because you have to leave enemies alive. Also because it takes place in a tower with a (mostly) consistent footprint a lot of maps can be very claustrophobic so you're constantly weaving through tight hallways while enemies pile in behind you just trying to find a small corner to take cover in for a breather. It's real good. But also video games are for fun and if people wanna play Going Down with Brutal Doom or something I'm not gonna slap the mouse out of anyone's hand.

I've been getting my kicks out of it, though. Using the J-Powers to OP my way through unstoppable hordes is a blast, and the grenades are still my favorites out of any gameplay mod.

A gloomy, barren landscape where British and German soldiers are reanimated each time they die, yeah the WW1 section was really well done and an interesting depiction of hell. Or the otherworld I think they called it. It's a small touch, but something I liked was when you look at a friendly NPC their full name pops up in the corner in grey text, something Starbreeze did in Riddick and the new Wolfensteins as MachineGames. The atmosphere was great in that game. probably why I enjoyed the exploration sections so much.

Yeah Hell is WW1 forever, Pestilence is a crucified gasmaked soldier spewing disease, Famine is a starving dog in the endlessly besieged city caught between the fronts, War is a giant railway artillery train - Darkness 1 had some really great scenes.

On a non-"How am I defending Trump?" note.... I just want to say how friggin' rad it is that its so easy to play classic shooters. The last time I really did a deep dive with Early FPS shooters was about five years ago. My computer is also old as hell, and anything beyond Half life 2 is choppy (it chugs with Black Mesa). So imagine my suprise when Blood GDX took five minutes to set up, the Shadow Warrior source port literally took a minute of tweaking, and there's now a Duke launcher that bundles a ton of the best mods together. Special shoutout to megaton edition, I remember spending literal days trying to get Nuclear Winter and Duke Caribbean to work. Now they're a click away. A friend of mine lets me share his Steam library so I also tried Ion Maiden and Dusk and braced myself for the worst. Even "Retro" titles can occasionally play terribly. Imagine my shock when Dusk plays at a crisp 60 fps, and Ion Maiden holds up well too. I also tried World Tour, and to the shock of no one I can say gently caress Gearbox. Does it really not work with any existing mods, meaning that there's no "real" way to buy a version of Duke 3d that plays well with literally two decades of great fan made levels? The rewind feature is pretty rad, and I wish there was a way to migrate that across all Duke 3d levels and titles. But the new lighting feels half-assed at best, and even with it turned off World Tour still ran slightly less smooth than Megaton edition. Basically I just wanted to extend a big thank you to the modding community, especially for preserving so many older classics and making them 100% easier for a non-techie to play.

Neither old nor an FPS but Spec Ops The Line is free on Humble for 48 hours. It does involve shooting mans in face so might appeal to some here. Really cool story and best if you know nothing about it going in e: also someone is making a Duke Nukem movie with John Cena Convex fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Mar 29, 2018 |

Is Rage worth taking a look at these days? Missed it first time around, now surprised it’s over seven years old now (my age is showing) but it’s super cheap for the next 24h on Fanatical / Bundlestars https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/rage

Nothing incredible (and the end is really abrupt and unsatisfying) but good for the price it's at.

I liked Rage. The shooting was real good. The driving was... merely ok, but barring a race or two you're rarely forced into doing a lot of it. Without The Scorchers it does just sorta end, try it and if you like it, then pick it up before you finish, it picks up right after the end, but if you finish the game first you'll have to go through the final sequence again (not that it's difficult).

It's definitely worth a play at that price. It's not terrible, just lackluster and unfinished in some areas. The DLC is pretty good though as it gets rid of a lot of the bad stuff from the main game.

I had a....complicated relationship with RAGE. That game forced me to upgrade my computer and I still had problems until patches came along, and even then it felt janky at times, as I was using an AMD/ATi rig at the time. I did have fun with the game and I just wish it didn't end so abruptly. I had the same kind of performance problems with WolfenstienTNO, I finally ditched my old setup and switched over to Intel/nVidia, smooth as butter. No problems with DOOM 2016 either. Something tells me iD Software really hates AMD/ATi setups. Of course you could also blame it on ATi's craptastic OpenGL support.  It might be time for me to go back and give RAGE another whirl, the wingsticks was one thing the game really got right, those things are fun to use.

My biggest reason to not ever use ATI since my old X1800XT (2005) is OpenGL and playing old games. Never had issues with 3dfx and nvidia cards with OpenGL but ATI... drat...

The funny thing is Wolfenstein TNO/Doom 2016 are generally considered to be best-case games for AMD GPUs, since they use Vulkan and scale well to play directly into AMD's strengths. On another topic. There's a lot of good gameplay mods for Doom like GMOTA and stuff. What are some good WADs with not particularly great difficulty or combat design that make them suitable to play with some gameplay mods without ruining the whole point of playing the WAD in the first place?
