I fuckin' love this game already and I'm only two areas in, hunting for all the secrets. The weapons feel super-satisfying, the movement is incredibly slick for such an old engine (the only way I can tell that this really is still using BUILD is the bizarre micro-shuffle to the left as you come to a stop after travelling straight forward/backward), enemies don't have hitscans/are taking the right amount of punishment before dropping (headshots are also excellent), and the levels... hoo boy, this is gonna be a hell of a ride. Actually having to jump around and look for clues to find all the secrets is some good poo poo too, with worthwhile rewards. They're just hidden enough to make you appreciate the design without turning into frustratingly obscure pixel-hunts or bullshit Wolf3D-style wallhumping adventures. My only complaint at the moment goes to those stupid little bastard head-spider things. Tiny ground-based enemies like that have never worked well in any 2.5D FPS (Strife, Blood, Alien Trilogy... etc.), and they even suck in 3D FPS games (Doom 3, DUSK). Here, they remind me of this fuckin' guy, of all things. But that's a minor gripe. Game good, buy now. DoctorStrangelove posted:The sound that the grenades make when they bounce.

Accordion Man posted:The revolver's alt-fire makes quick work of them. My 20+ years of running around with a shotgun* as my go-to weapon for the vast majority of any FPS is getting in the way of remembering that. In fact, I'm having a rough time remembering that there is even alt-fire, which is baffling given that I've been playing Blood recently. *Not Quake's shotgun, that was poo poo.

The self-awareness on the quips and one-liners is what makes them work. It's that perfect 80's/90's style where you know/expect it and laugh along. Shelly's poo poo-talking is somewhere between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Campbell. I love it.

I must stop using those SMG's at close range. I go through a doorway and WOAH poo poo RANDOM MOOK and then Shelly's feet are on fire.

Inspired by some of Doom's "high-tech" patches for moonbase supercomputers which were really just altered photos of old motherboards.

The Kins posted:The head-spiders are very easy to deal with painlessly once you figure out that they die to one hit from the taser baton.  They're not dangerous themselves per se, it's just irritating when they invariably start getting in the way. Gloomy Rube posted:2, I woulda given it a 1 but someone just said they died to one once. It feels like it's the 'fixed' build engine they used for Blood Fresh Supply, getting crushed by normal level geometry basically doesn't happen.

koren posted:You can also straferun and jump across the gap from the lower level, but it's very difficult and the failure condition is instant death. This is how I did it. In fact, my approach was the complete opposite to that video  Fake Edit: Still dicking around on the third map (Fan Service) trying to uncover everything. These secrets are something else. Fake Edit 2: Overbite posted:I never use the puck because in any instance where I need an explosion I have bombs and grenades already, why have a third weapon that does the same thing.

  I don't want to talk about how long it took me to find all these, but I am enjoying the hunt.
