Civvie 11 - Retro FPS Boomer

[Mr. Duck]

Halo being the downfall of the FPS is a meme at this point
If you wanted a game to signify the fall of the FPS as a genre COD4 and Killzone would be better games

Halo 1 and 2 are good FPS games just not Boomer Shooters

It was more of a shared responsibility between Half-Life and Halo, with Call of Duty delivering the final blow.

Half-Life introduced linearity and a bigger focus on storytelling, Halo slowed down the genere for easier play on a controller and introduced the 2-weapon limit, and Call of Duty made everyone focus on militarizing the genere, to the point that we got a Quake game with some CoD elements (Quake 4).

Quake 4 feels more like an excuse to do something Quake-related with id Tech 4 rather than a conscious effort to militarize the genre.

>mentions both age of hell and project absentia

Project Absentia looks really fucking gay, but what's the issue with Age of Hell? It looks ok from the 3 screenshots i've looked at.

I don't really care either way, these indieshit "le retro throwback FPS" have already outstayed their welcome as far as I'm concerned.

Indeed.

but what's the issue with Age of Hell?

Well beside the fact it's

really fucking gay

the problems are developers which are being led by entitled, as he calling himself, buffclown (if you getting association with giggly goonclown I can't tell I blame you, but aoh one aint pedo... I think? Hard to tell who is and who not a kid diddler in doom community these days) and that devs are what your typical wokistani faggot stereotype is.
It doesn't help as well that game is quite inconsistent in its gameplay and visuals, which are a mess, especially the latter due to a lot of questionable things like "HD" textures that if you'd look at the monsters and weapon sprites are clearly out of place, monster sprites are ugly as fuck and some of the weapon sprites are suffer from that faggy trend of adding motion blur to them to "swift a bit" the animations overall, a trend that, I think, was established by Project Brutality team (their main animator, Galdoc, in particular).

Here's the video of the demo, if you're wondering:

Reminds me I never finished Strife since I got the bad ending and then played the good ending path until I got to the penultimate level and I didn't want to replay it.

An alright review except the ending when he goes "girls are icky" because god forbid the hero ends up with a woman he has been in contact for most of the game.

Where did you even get the "girls are icky" part? Unless you mean the final "When I was 14..." thing, then thats kinda a stretch chief.

 

[Gravemind]

No no I definitely remember the part at the very end when he said the good ending sucks because girls are icky and have gross cooties.

It is the "When I was 14" (and probably not groomed yet by discord trannies). Saving the world and banging a hot chick is the peak of manly desires, complaining about it as juvenile is silly and immature by itself.

I see someone never left the 14 year old power fantasy mentality. Also, when did he complain? Making it as a closing comment doesnt seem like a complaint, if nothing seems like a dry humor comment.

OH GOD Project Absentia, a game born from the untalented stinkditch hell that is the new doom community. I'd almost entirely forgotten about it.

Project Absentia looks really fucking gay, but what's the issue with Age of Hell? It looks ok from the 3 screenshots i've looked at.

The Age of Hell has some of the worst production value out of any of the recent throwback FPSs. The sound design is shit, the combat is even shitter and the framerate is a crime against decency.

 

[Bubble Ba'ath]

Wow I didn't know Keffals was in this game. Hell, Civvie even made a Peter Lorre reference to really confirm it. (about the 20 minute mark of the video).

Since we have no Kex engine or Turok thread (at least no Turok thread that's somewhat active) I'm going to give my thoughts on the re-release of Turok 3:

It kind of sucks. That concludes my in-depth analysis.

I admire what the devs were going for: an epic Hollywood action movie type of spectacle. Okay, that's cool. But, there's next to no challenge at all. The problem could be considered that the enemies are either undertuned or the weapons are overtuned. There's an auto-aim feature and there's no way to turn it off. I mention the auto-aim because you just effortlessly headshot dudes from a million miles away with just the fucking pistol. It's comical and it reminds me of that bit from American Psycho! You know the one:

1:11

It's that same exact fucking moment. I'm just firing away half-haphazardly and shit's just exploding and I'm killing a dozen dudes with a single shotgun blast where the spread takes up the entire screen!

It's fine for a console game but this is when changes should have been made or presented as an option for those that desire more than just Baby Bitch Mode. Keep in mind that I played it on the hardest difficulty as well.

@BrunoMattei That's what this thread is for:

I don't know why people here are surprised Civvie thinks women are icky, he's an obvious faggot/tranny chaser, maybe even an incel.
Good enough for me, means he will likely not breed

 

[BrunoMattei]

Civvie is a pussy. UV is not THAT bad. But otherwise I agree with his takes, it just feels like more of the same, I look forward to Romero finally making a Doom 2 episode and maybe we can get another Quake episode too? Either/or I'm fine with.

Ah, yes, another level pack from a guy that supported troons molesting rights via mermaidsUK charity.

Skip!

And gets to go "I am so sorry for making Daikatana also it was everyone else's fault and I didn't even make those horrible adverts with my name on them that I approved ;_;"

GHAAAAAAAAAAIYYYYYY!!!

And gets to go "I am so sorry for making Daikatana also it was everyone else's fault and I didn't even make those horrible adverts with my name on them that I approved ;_;"

In all honesty the adverts happen to be better than the game itself. Quite an achievement on its own really.

But, eh, the only one who's a bitch here is john, the bitch of trannies he worships.
