Civvie thread (classic FPS reviews/commentary on youtube)

Strife certainly was innovative for its time, but all things considered it's a rather mediocre game in my opinion. Not bad per se, but definitely my least favorite of the original Doom engine games. Those so called "RPG elements" sure were a nice touch, but they are almost painfully superficial and beyond that, Strife is just ("just", lol) a 90s shooter with comparatively bland level design and rather weak gunplay. Still worth a look though, for those interested in classic shooters.

they got rpg elements right in call of duty 4

Ultra-Violence in this case is "John Romero's about to make you his bitch".

 

[Caim]

Some actual shit to end the year on. With bonus negative double jump and a gold heist.

Trash bin episode between proper ones

Spoiler

Katie is not real
this video confirms that

 

[Fedora Master]

He really hates Graven, huh

 

[Rahdulan]

I'd hoped Katie was actually a sassy editor. But, alas.

Wait. Does this mean that Cancer Mouse isn't real either? I'm not sure I want to continue living in this world now.

So Wrath: Aeon of Ruin was a disappointment, Phantom Fury will be a disappointment and Graven won't be a disappointment because it's ass.

At least we're getting Chex Quest next time.

 

[Baron Dupek]

still no STALKER Clear Sky MG shenaningans

Yeah it's just Doom but corporate. Nice to see that one of the devs continued working on it way past the initial release.

Also funny that they made a Brutal Chex mod.

I think you can just load Brutal Doom mod with a Chex WAD and it will work simply because Chex Quest is a literal Doom total conversion.

Speaking of TCs, one of the Doomer Board Projects has a Chex Quest themed WAD called Slime on Earth.

Looks pretty good.
