The Kins posted:The entire Quake series (except 4) is $7.49 today. If you're in here and don't have these games, you're really missing out. bought the poo poo out of this. already having alot of fun, but i'm starting to realize there wasn't actually a whole lot of mods for Quake 2 and 3. (or that most of them were lost when PlanetQuake died) a real shame, because they have a plethora of features I think would be great to utilize.

Songbearer posted:The same can't be said for Quake 2, which while impressive at the time for all the little graphical touches it had (Weapons kicking up dust, flies on rotten corpses, various kill animations), had absolutely abysmal level design and a horrendous colour palette. I don't get this. sure the mission packs are just awful, but Quake 2 itself had nearly perfect level design. they did a really good job of sprawling you all over the place and making sure you had constant forward progression. and they always made sure you were blowing poo poo up so that you could feel all badass for clearing an objective. And while i'm thinking about the mission packs, gently caress Ground Zero. it's got points where you can't actually avoid damage or just flat out make it difficult to do anything. TURRETS ON TOP OF DOORWAYS WITH OVERHANGS, OH BOY! FOUR ROCKET TURRETS WHILE YOU FIGHT A MEDIC, A GLADIATOR, AND 3 OF THOSE loving SPIDER CYBORGS, THIS IS TOTALLY DOABLE IN ONE TRY!

I'm really suprised at how little people talk about Gunman Chronicles. That game is in a totally different league all it's own. never have I felt more in control of a gunfight than I did in any other game. why hasn't such powerful customization features been put in other games? it really feels like something entirely unique to it's experience.

Attempted to play Deus Vult 2 for the first time with Russian Overkill. I got the Yamato early on so I ended up skipping alot of levels with quantum jumps. Have to wonder if it's always this unabashedly confusing or if RO broke something along the way.

Maybe it's a throwback from adventure games always having at least one awful, nonsense music puzzle to poo poo on you with, but I can't stand them in any format anymore. This was one of the easiest puzzles in the mod, though? The chess board puzzle requires poo poo like hand-memorizing the board on a sheet of paper to figure it out.

Russian Overkill update is out and boy are the weapon changes very much welcome! most of the weapons that had very little use before have been given some serious improvements. In particular: the Stachanov's (charging laser thing) alternate fire lays down a temporary beam turret on any surface it hits against. the Pushkin (rapid fire rocket launcher) no longer has zoom and now lays down a swarm of barrels for it's alt fire. all the characters have upgraded melee capability, so you can play as more than marty and have a grand ol' time. I've yet to try everything though, so there could be much more.

Dominic White posted:The framerate drops hard even without Brutal Doom. Deus Vult 2 is an anomaly - it does some seriously weird things with the Doom engine that ZDoom-based source-ports just don't like. And of course it'd be lame if you tried running it with Brutal Doom - it's the biggest pile of monster-spam in the history of Doom! Don't even try to play it with Russian Overkill. The claustrophobic style of the maps makes all the explosive weapons a pain to even use.

it's interesting how UT2k3 and 2k4 are basically them smashing stuff together at the last minute according to that article, and yet they're both infinitely better and more chaotic than UT3. it doesn't make much sense how things went so bad considering that.

Paul Pot posted:Epic's next game is a PC-exclusive (probably only until next gen consoles are announced). They've already stated in a few articles that the next consoles aren't up to snuff at all. So either they are stuck with UE3 on consoles again or they have to tone down their own work (which I doubt they care for either).

Bloodmobile posted:Hopefully the story can be at least skipped. I can't play Nehahra or TMC because of the long, horrid, unskippable cutscenes. Nehahra's voice acting isn't all that bad. the grainy audio kinda fixes that, but I'll say the villian has a pretty good voice. also, isn't there literally only 2 cutscenes the whole game with voice acting? granted they're kinda long, but they're easy to deal with.

JackMackerel posted::sperg: The thing that really pisses me off is that Epic decided not to release how to do custom skeletons and the like at all in Unreal Tournament 3. I mean, gently caress, there's a ton of brilliant models for UT1 and UT2003/4, and there's, like, twenty custom player models worth downloading for UT3. :sperg: It's not that so much as how difficult it was at the time for hobbyists to make GOOD models for it. There was plenty of information there for importing and creation of animations, it's just that the tools to make nice high poly models was very short. On top of that most people didn't have the knowledge of topology for making them. One of the models that won the Make Something Unreal Contest (Xeno something) was rumored to have used poser models as a basis for their high poly. All in All, it was a really bad time for custom content in general. Atleast nowadays there's 3Dcoat, Zbrush, Sculptris, etc. to play around with and information is far easier to come by.

with all the talk of Painkiller, I'm suprised there's no real mention of Necrovision which is possibly the goofiest, most arcadey FPS made in awhile. It's a shame it's combo system isn't made more apparent during the game, cuz the meat and potatoes of it's fun comes from it. Exploiting it is a great way to deal with the huge swarms you end up fighting through the game, and you definitely fight TONS of enemies over the course of the game.

I feel it could have been cut in half if it weren't for the limitations of the engine getting in the way. they keep having to cut to shots and move things around slowly and it makes it difficult to stomach if you try to watch it a second time. the first time is just amazing though.

There's no strategy. someone never played Violent Storm or Armored Warriors, which are arguably the two best beat-em-ups from that time period. Infact, it's a good idea to play both of these atleast once, as there is more depth to them than nearly the whole genre's combined efforts.

The second level is absolutely spectacular, and one can only hope that this sort of pace continues. If you aren't sure if you want it, take a look at this video and be amazed.

In regards to good endings for FPS games, the new Shadow Warrior really wrapped up it's plot nicely and actually felt worthwhile. Hoji and Lo Wang have a really incredible relationship as characters, and the game plays off that swimmingly well.

Me and some friends were going to make a platformer but even the sidescroller example project is pretty broken.

horse mans posted:Also, you don't get access to the source code unless you have a UE4 account, which is 20$ a month. So all this bullshit about 'development in the open' is literally just that. except if you looked at it, you can easily pay 20 dollars once, cancel, and then do the same if there's a specific update you really want. The game itself is free, the tools are VERY cheap however! For me, this is quite possibly the best thing that could have happened. I never cared about the TF2 marketplace as I just never cared about TF2 in general. But this, THIS makes me motivated!

I would really rather a game be themed around Russian Overkill where your own weapons are just as likely to get you killed as the enemies are. there's something incredibly amusing about that to me, but I also wish it had a few of it's own enemies on top of that absurdity. (slaughter wads easily make up for it though)
