I was just talking to a friend of mine about the new Shadow Warrior game and how it's a fresh breath of air in the dank FPS game scene these days. I had to admit to him that I've never actually played the original, because back in those days when I was young, I was busy with a shitfest called Hexen 2. it's amazingly bad but there's JUST enough good things to make you think "maybe it starts now?". Then after you've visited gamefaqs.com for a 153 times throughout the game and you defeat the final boss, you will feel empty. the mill and everything were so cool I was happy with all that, I was just a stupid kid who hadn't seen a huge animating 3d windmill in a game before the catapult was top notch but then it dawns upon you that this game is not about windmills or moats and forges, it's about turning every loving corner and stone to find a wall-coloured button hidden in the shadow Hexen 2 ruined my childhood.

Not going to argue, I never really liked any of the hexens. The quake axe is as much medieval in my fps as I need.

Shadow warrior 1 was cool because it was v racist and funny. I played the hell out of it at work.

ok but why would you want to talk about a game that's bad instead of a game that's good?

Heretic 2 blade duels were some of the most fun I ever had in a game. Hexen 2 did suck though, good opinion op.

hexen 2 was utter rear end to say the game was cryptic was giving it too much credit - as if there was a rhyme or reason regarding the puzzles that were in the game. as it was on the almost-stock quake 1 engine, the engine limitations really showed, as the number of enemies was incredibly small. default enemies were frustrating and unfun to fight, and the weapons you were given were composed of gimmicks and were bad at what they did. here's an excerpt from a walkthrough: quote:9.1.4.1.- Finding the Bones of Loric. this is act 1. the game doesn't get much better than that. hexen 1 was also rear end, that game's first act is burned into my memory from stumbling through it with a FAQ out of sheer curiosity. if i remember correct, act 1 has you opening the portals by pulling 3 levers in 3 separate areas, which have 3 subswitches and collectable items required to progress. everything about both games was a clusterfuck when it came to design. enemies were random, weapons were bad, the game introduced and focused a lot on your ability to complete jumping puzzles and divine whatever the gently caress you needed to do from zero information given.

I preferred Heretic.

I think the devs released some type of TF style mod for the game after it'd been out for a while. I remember playing on a server with a bunch of the devs. The mod was also lovely hth.

It's a launcher designed to run games like Doom and Hexen with nicer lighting and other poo poo, but you can toggle the crap you don't want off. Even has multiplayer support. Also I loved Hexen 1 You could turn people into pigs then freeze them to make little piggy ice statues. Then shatter them Or get turned into a pig and nibble on peoples ankles.

Ramsus posted:it's all relative Good post my man. Enjoyment is only relative, until we're told what the new cool shiny thing is, and then that thing is really good. There's basically no way to judge anything so new stuff is just really good generally.

Hexen is a good game because it teaches you that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is better than physical prowess or heathen magic. Jesus starts you off with a dinky mace but if you have enough faith in him he will give you the Wraithverge.
