i'm lovin boomer shooters atm and i'm replaying quake for the first time since i was 6 years old. i also played ion fury, dusk, amid evil, project warlock, the old doom games and liked or loved them all. other than quake 2 does anyone have suggestions for more? due to severe personality issues i don't want to play anything on early access, i've got like six of them wishlisted for when they come out.

Hwurmp posted:play Unreal Gold and Strife: Veteran Edition if you've never played those will do, thanks. ZearothK posted:Kind of old, but since you're playing Q1&2, Serious Sam and Painkiller Black kind of fit there, though I wouldn't say they are as good as the revival or the classic games, but for a while they were what we had. Unreal 1 is kind of in the liminal area between Quake 2 and Half-Life, but it is definitely closer to the former than the latter. i played painkiller when the zero punctuation review for it came out so i must have it on steam somewhere. i can barely remember it. i'm gonna give the serious sam games a look too, they've been on my radar for a while. thank you. e: overload looks very cool, that's a solid rec.

Mordja posted:As someone who only really got into that particular style of shooter a few years ago and has no real nostalgia for that subgenre (my blind spot is towards more linear experiences like Half Life), Blood really is among the best of them. Just don't be afraid to customize the difficulty to your liking and know that it's got a pretty tough start. i'm definitely gonna pick up blood, and in general i like playing difficult games so no problem on that front. though quake was very rude when i tried to play it on hard and kept getting owned by two shamblers in a row on level, like, 3.

Orv posted:There are legit third party key sites, the things listed on isthereanydeal.com are all legitimate ones and not grey market. Grey market sites, ones not listed on isthereanydeal, are not necessarily always selling keys bought with stolen credit cards or something like that, but the chances are good they are and your key might get revoked. The devs also see nothing from those sites. Recommended to avoid those ones. buy grey market keys for games whose devs you hate. and all AAA games. it's a win/win.

municipal shrimp posted:Slipways is out today. I know it bills itself as a 4x in 30 minutes but really it's more of a fun puzzle game of resource management. You connect planets to each other via trade routes that cannot cross. Each planet requires certain certain resources to output other resources. At first a planet may only require one resource to output but after that is met and the planet is also successfully exporting resources it will level up. Your goal is to level up as many planets as you can to their max level in a fixed number of turns. Eventually you will able to to create wild card resources and warp gates that let you break the rules of the game which add even more wrinkles into the puzzle. It reminds me a lot of a solo board game. I found that games typically lasted closer to an hour but you can pause and quit or to resume st any time. I played 3 or 4 hours of the demo and I really enjoyed it. It's great for playing while you're watching something else or listening to a podcast. it's one of those games that knows exactly what it wants to do and it does it exceptionally well. i also ended up getting hooked on the demo big time.

Artelier posted:I looked up videos of this and I can't really understand what kind of game it is. Retro graphics FPS but not arcadey - has objectives and it looks like you can plan stuff? Not sure if it's doing a whole new thing or if it's cribbing from an older game I'm unfamiliar with. it's like a tactical fps. every mission you're told to kill one or more people and then find the level exit. there's tons of different ways to go about this, the levels are generally enormous and sprawling and full of weird things and secrets and terrifying enemies. the game knows it's a game, knows that you know it's a game, and so messes with your expectations and its rules very freely. movement feels amazing and only gets better with the more hideous and disgusting bio mods you buy and install into yourself. it looks ugly as gently caress until you play it for a bit. then it looks great. no setpieces, no walk and chats, no compromising fun for the sake of realism with five second animations for picking up an egg. just gameplay. it's hard to explain the exact feeling you get but it's kinda like when you pull off something really sick and unexpected that the game clearly didn't account for. cruelty squad feels like it doesn't account for anything, it just lets you try whatever you want. definitely one to try to see if you like it, there's nothing like it. well haha good luck.

i've got prodeus on my wishlist and ready to buy the second it fully releases (along with gloomwood, wrath, ultrakill, hrot, a bunch of other FPS games) since my brain worms won't let me play games in EA and all the new boomer shooters seem to be there. speaking of FPS's though i started playing doom eternal for free* on gamepass and it's hard as gently caress but really drat fun.

Sway Grunt posted:I'm actually not really having much trouble with him (yet?). I've only given it a couple of tries so far and like you say, a Greatshield nulls most of his attacks completely. When I play tonight I'm going to change my armor so I can dodge quicker and out of the way of his frost breath attack cause that's unblockable and the slow rolling doesn't cut it. But overall I don't expect to have that much trouble with this one, I was more using him as an example for a tanky boss because even the ones that are relatively easy in terms of their attack patterns seem to take so long to put away that I eventually die through attrition. So I assumed I'm lacking damage, but my weapons are upgraded about as much as they can be at this stage of the game, and I've put most of my levels into damage, so... dark souls 3 is way harder than the first two. i haven't played it with a shield but given that bosses frequently attack in rapid succession and then give you a brief window to smack them, i get the feeling that they designed the game with dodge rolls in mind rather than blocking. i played it with a fat two hander (vordt's and a murakamo) and lots of VIT, that seemed very strong once i got the dodge patterns down because the weapon just melted most of the bosses and i had enough VIT to take a few hits without dying.

deep dish peat moss posted:The first and only time I played SNKRX I built a party of all warrior-types and got some relic that let me bounce off the walls (I think? Something like that). I was able to beat most levels by literally taking my hands off the keyboard and letting it play itself, and the remaining three-ish levels I beat by steering straight into enemies because I was a blender of aoe damage, bump damage, and massive damage resist. And that was all just from the way the warrior-type units are designed, and only using the basic ones you see right at the start of the game with none of the expensive advanced units. No relic synergies or anything. it goes all the way up to new game plus five - the first difficulty is very easy, i beat it on my first run as well. it gets a lot harder.

Serephina posted:How about Mass Effect 1? I know everyone and their dog has played it, and someone gifted me the original (non-legendary), but I got about 20 seconds in before the first character I talked to started expositing to me at length. Um, is the shooting/storytelling worth this? it's archaic in every sense - the gameplay, the story and how it's told, the hilarious renegade/paragon system, the bioware™ bang any member of your party power fantasy, etc.

rdr2 wastes so much of your time. press and hold button to ride to the mission start, press and hold button to ride to where you're going while someone talks at you, do a thing, press and hold button lots of time to loot everything, press and hold button to ride to wherever you're going next. you can't even drive your car at warp speed through traffic to make going places fun like in GTA.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Just sounds like it wasn’t your guys’ cup of tea, which is fair enough. It’s slow and ambling because it’s a classic Western. It’s not “wasting your time”, that’s the game, take it or leave it. It’s all in the tone the game is trying to set, and there are parts where that stumbles like forcing you to walk slowly to cross the camp, but the dialogue and travel is the core of the game. I hate how restrictive the actual missions can be and some of the aforementioned fiddly inventory, but otherwise loved it. rdr2 is stock rote rockstar game design, just with more bells and whistles. the game has less freedom in how you approach its missions than gta 3.

ghostrunner is sick but if you don't enjoy dying lots and lots of times to perfect your run through a room full of the nastiest bullshit then it's not gonna be for you. the first boss level killed me 198 times and it took me 30 minutes or so to beat for an average of 9 seconds per death.

you need to be constantly moving or you're going to die, yeah, in the beginning you get some leeway but towards the second half of the game it's top speed all the time. one of the things you have to adjust to is to time your strafe so that the enemy has already fired before you dash, you can hang out in the slow motion strafe mode for a surprisingly long time. another thing is that your slash has a longer range than you think, mr. ghostrunner will compensate for a lot of distance when you press the kill button. once you click with the game you really feel exactly like a mirror's edge samurai though, or at least i did. i wish the game had a replay feature like superhot because some of the poo poo you pull is really cool.

OzFactor posted:At the risk of opening up the wormiest of cans of worms, Fallout 4 with all the DLC is on sale for ten bucks. Like any rational person I love New Vegas and I quite liked 3 even with its flaws. I am not a person who is particularly attached to Fallout lore (I didn't play the first games until way after they were canonized and thought they were mostly fine). Was the initial criticism of 4 from crazy Fallout people, or is it legitimately just not very good? it's a good explore and loot and shoot game. the plot is truly wretched and your character sounds dumb as gently caress 100% of the time but skip all of the dialogue and just follow the map/quest markers and you'll have a decent time.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:the one downside is that you can manipulate the trial really easily so that it will come to any conclusion to want. well, that and the random spot in the ground in the middle of nowhere you have to dig up to figure out what actually happened. that's true but at the same time there's a very clear correct outcome for the game - you can start the trial at any time, but why would you, since replaying the game will be 99% the same so you might as well investigate everything. that gameplay premise didn't really work for me but the mystery and world of the game is extremely compelling so i didn't care.
