That sound is just so amazing, the high pitch whine of a small motor giving all it has and the squeaking of metal spinning against bone crowned with that flat splorch when it explodes.

Firestorm cannon was and is my all time favorite chaingun, I just love how it looks. It has everything I want from a scifi gun: shoots glowy things that explode, has cool moving bits and best of all, it's not lit up like a christmas tree with a million lights.

That Oblivion segment really reminded me why I hate playing shooters on a controller nowadays. Seeing your aim meander past enemies all the time makes the sperg in me froth at the mouth. Kinda funny considering how much I played Golden Eye on the N64 when it was hot poo poo.

But drat, I didn't remember the creepy narration that happens with your first visit to Oblivion. I really can't wait for Night Dive Studios to finish their Turok 2 remaster.

Those Flintstones style gatling guns are just so precious, Purr-Linn high technology!

Ahh, the Plasma Rifle. Playing Turok 2 on an emulator and thus having access to mouse aim makes the plasma rifle monsterous. Or that I might have had a bad/wierd graphics codec, I don't remember the fog being so close.

Does the plasma rifle shoot a regular beam if you body shot an enemy? Or is it still hitscan, just with an added explosion?

Those Mantid Drones look like the most annoying regular enemy so far, they are just short enough that when they run around they get below your aim and they are spindly too so you end up shooting past their limbs too. The Soldiers seemed similarly annoying since they move pretty fast too, but at least they are a huge target and like to stick their face out front when deploying the shoulder cannons.

Finally the best gun! The Firerstorm just chews through anything under the crosshairs in seconds.

And speaking of weapon tweaks, did they seriously nerf tek arrows, since one exploding on an Etrails forehead fails to kill it while a normal arrow does the job just fine. On hard at least.
