The AMC TC Episode 3 (N.B. I wrote this down about a year ago, it might be extremely outdated and a little unfairly negative in retrospect. Gas all furries tho)
The third entry in the gargantuan multi-author eDuke Total Conversion. There’s not much to say if you’ve played the previous two episodes (https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/screenshot-thread.72409/page-731#post-4678768) – The AMC TC is a megamod that lets you pick from a roster of fanfic-tier self-inserts inspired by iconic FPS heroes with their own unique weapons and abilities, then take them off on missions based on classics like Doom, Duke, and Noah's Ark 3D.
Where previous episodes generally drew from Build titles, Episode 3 features maps that play homage to Powerslave and Serious Sam, with Egyptian palaces and sprawling catacombs that require a few trips back and forth to fully explore. There’s also a bit more experimentation with riffs on Portal, Marathon, Mageslayer, Future Shock and even more obscure shooters I'll pretend I recognized but didn't name to look cool. Overall, the main missions felt very much like more of the same as previous episodes, but less inventive and heavier on platforming and traps, which are unpleasant to deal with even at the best times in eDuke. The only new character is a furry called Snowfall, with the same awful vocie acting as the rest of the cast but none of the charm. None of the missions were as memorable or enjoyable as the heavy hitters in Episodes 1 or 2, and with a number of glitches, level-stopping bugs and numerous CTDs to contend with, I have to give Episode 3 a middling 5/10, at best. A terrible letdown for such a hotly-anticipated mod. Perhaps I'm being unfair since the version of Eps 1 and 2 I played were extremey polished and had gone through multiple iteration after public feedback, but as of now Episode 3 is the Family Guy of boomer FPS tributes.
