Wolf09 seems pretty cool so far. Indiana Jones looks cool, but I really hope Machine Games gets to cap off their Wolfenstein series. I know some people didn't like TNC, but I loved it and am still pretty hyped to see it what they do next.

Oh man, I ctrl-f the last few pages and saw no one type "Graven". So...has anyone tried it out since it hit 1.0? It's been sitting on my wishlist for years now, but the reviews on Steam seem pretty mixed. Did they just kick it out the door and say "1.0"! because of how long it was taking & all the trouble over at 3D Realms/Slipgate Ironworks?

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.

crondaily posted:My dogs, I have both the original and remastered BioShock games, which are a better experience to play? I replayed Bioshock 1 and played (for the first time!) Bioshock 2 a few years ago using the remastered editions. Gameplay and art wise, remastered is fine and doesn’t really do much besides higher res textures and the like, so that’s good. Bioshock 2 remastered had a nasty habit of crashing on me fairly frequently, though with all things PC gaming who knows if it was my rig at the time or the game.

I found Infinite to be a total slog starting about halfway through the game. nice obelisk idiot posted:Deathmatch in the updated Q2 holds up well. it's weird hearing high quality voice chat in it. This is more of a windows thing then specific game, and has to do with Windows & bluetooth codecs and all that stuff. It's a mess. I use a pair of wh-1000xm4 Sony Bluetooth headphones for gaming on my PC most of the time (along with a wireless modmic if I hop on discord with friends) and I also had to disable the mic on the headset in Windows settings to get the sound to work properly. The bluetooth nature of the headset means there's a slight delay in audio, but I get used to it pretty quickly.

The Kins posted:On that note, a big new Quake mapset release: Remix Jam, taking 30 multiplayer maps from gaming history (with sources as varied as Unreal Tournament, Valorant and, uh, Rayman M) and reinterpreting as single-player Copper maps. This sounds like a really cool idea. I guess I'll play this next after I wrap up Metro Exodus (not an old fps I know).

Milo and POTUS posted:The holy trinity of indie throwback shooters. I'd probably buy a physical copy if such a creature existed. Throw me in a toy and it's a done deal. Ultrakill really plays nothing like a traditional retro shooter, though. I found it was more like Doom Eternal meets Devil May Cry or something like that. I played a good chunk of it this summer before deciding maybe it wasn’t really for me. I definitely see the appeal, though.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Yeah I feel like this gives me a better impression than the previous teaser where the player (hilariously) missed every shot, either as a reference to Stormtrooper aim or perhaps as a way to reduce the teaser's rating? I think people figured out it was some sort of trailer rating/Disney requirement thing, since in the same trailer the player is hitting robots just fine.

Looking at my purchase history, I bought WRATH on October 30th, 2020. Holy poo poo. I have never booted it up, so I'm excited to finally play it. I think some of the mappers who worked on Arcane Dimensions also worked on this, and I loving loved Arcane Dimensions.

Does the game automatically save when you "complete" a level in WRATH, or do you have to burn a save/shrine?

HolyKrap posted:It autosaves. It'd be nice to see an indicator in the pause menu though, like when the last save was. There's not even a confirmation if you click "depart" so it feels a little risky if you aren't completely sure of when the last save was. Nice, thanks. Only beat one level so far (Mire) but it definitely feels like more Arcane Dimensions so....I'm down for it.

What difficulty are you guys playing WRATH on that you’re finding ammo an issue? I wonder if it’s drastically different for Medium vs Hard.

Compared to TAG1, TAG2 was a cakewalk. I liked getting kicked in the nuts in TAG1, except for one fight that was absolutely brutal and I had to replay probably dozens of times. It's been years since I've played it so I don't know specifically where the fight is or what to call it...I guess I can try and find a youtube video of it. E: Hmm, does not look like you can change the difficulty on WRATH after you start - kind of a bummer. Am I just missing the option? I want to crank it up to Hard after starting and beating one level (Mire) on Medium. chocolateTHUNDER fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Mar 1, 2024 |

Turin Turambar posted:Still playing Wrath. On Episode 3 now. At this point I think I can summarize the game accurately. It's more or less what I said already in Episode 2: great, interested and varied level design, cool powerups, but mediocre bosses and the most important flaw, the enemy design is lacking. There are no versatile enemies like the Ogre, or the Knight, and there are barely interesting enemies like the Archvile or the Pain Elemental (just one, the shield bubble drone), used very sparingly. There are basically three types of enemies only: This sums up my thoughts on WRATH pretty well. I'm also on Episode 3 now, and so far it's just been..."pretty good I guess". I can't see myself going back to replay it after I'm done though, unlike DUSK and Amid Evil. I'm also more lukewarm on the level design compared to you. I'm just not finding most of these levels very memorable. I can tell they are technically well designed and the flow is pretty good, but visually and aesthetically a lot of them look very similar to the point where they all sort of just blend together. Also, I'm not finding Episode 3's hub world fun to navigate. Don't want to poo poo on the game too much though - the weapons do feel very good for the most part, and Episode 3 finally forces you to actually use all of your arsenal in a way that makes combat encounters more interesting.

Yeah, I enjoyed HROT a lot when I played it last year. The brown didn't bother me at all, and it's got a sense of humor to it that is fairly unique as far as boomshoots go.

The Kins posted:Breaking News: Embracer has sold Saber Interactive off to, uh, Saber's co-founder. 3D Realms/Slipgate Ironworks is included in the transaction, hopefully sparing them any further humiliation (at least, of the non-self-inflicted kind). Hoping that this stops the bleeding for 3D Realms/Slipgate. Also that Tempest Rising will see the light of day.

I get the itch to replay DUSK around Fall every year. It just has those vibes. Episode 1 is pretty tame compared to 2 and 3 for sure, I believe David has said that’s mostly because he was learning level design as he went along and got more comfortable trying out new things as the project progressed.

Interesting, thanks. I must have missed that it is still in early-access, and I'm not about to break my own self-imposed rule for a game that sounds like it still lacks a lot of content. Plenty of other games not in early access I can grab. Thanks!

A huge part of what made me “good at computers” was messing around with game mods when I was younger, and figuring out how to make them work. I’m pretty sure downloading and playing mods for half-life was the first time I encountered the idea of game versioning. Had to make sure my game was on version 1.0.0.9 for most of the mods to work! Messing with config files to make Foxbot in team fortress classic work the way I wanted when I was 11 actually forced me to learn some critical thinking and problem solving skills, turns out. Not FPS but shout out to TibEd, a program my cousin showed me around the same time that made editing unit behavior and attributes in C&C Tiberian Sun surprisingly easy. Apparently, the website is still up and the last news update was made only 3 years ago! https://www.tibed.net/index

The Kins posted:It was only on the Epic client (before there was a store!) and was primarily developed by a skeleton crew hoping the community would do most of the grunt work as a way of promoting Unreal Engine 4. Then that same skeleton crew used the assets from another game by Epic, a recently-released co-op base-building game called Fortnite, to prototype up a PUBG clone. The rest, as they say, is history. Haha yeah, I was following that weirdo UT4 development pretty closely because at the time it seemed like a pretty cool & unique concept*. They had regular a regular video series they would put out highlighting the work the internal team was doing, and also the work that community members put in. They also tried to angle it as a "Well we know people didn't like UT3, so this is your chance to steer how you want UT4 to play." *Obviously hindsight being 20/20 this was not nearly cool as it seemed, having knowledge of how developers would go on to exploit models like this for massive profit (roblox) but in late 2014 it seemed cool
