So, is it any fun?
I tried to work up my enthusiasm to play it once, but turn based + controling only one character doesn't sound fun to me.
Would have been much more appealing to me if it was as a blobber with a party of different classes.

Unreal/Return to Na Pali
This is actually the first time I've ever played through Unreal. It was pretty boring. Dunno why you guys liked it so much apart from the graphics. I guess the AI would've seemed bretty impressive at the time. Some of the weapons were really shitty, too.
Atmosphere mostly, and sense of wonder AKA "not knowing where it will take you".

Though AI was genuinely good - not just for its time - and graphics obviously helped too, so did music.
Weapons were cool too, innovative and fun to use, just a bit underpowered and quiet.

RTNP was meh with occasional highlights, though.

Is that 160x120?

What's next? 1x1, with flashing monochrome screen occupied by single giant pixel?
Fucking hipsters.

Yeah, it's fun. Not as deep as a Wizardry, which is clearly the inspiration for this one, but it can offer you some good dungeon crawling. Also you can have up to 4 characters in your party: you just need to create them all, load one character, then invite the others. The biggest part of the game is the character creation and development, with many races and guilds/classes to join; unlike Wizardry you aren't stuck with a Thief who'll sit in the back ranks and do nothing in combat for most of the game since you can have your Thief level up spellcasting at the same, and there are many more options.

Forgot to upload these Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs screens from a while back. Unfortunately they don't exactly make for good snaps, for obvious reasons :lol:

Again, first time playing through the whole thing. I played a demo shortly before the release of Half-Life and pretty much forget about the series after that. Tried playing through after Quake 4 and again a few years ago but didn't make it either time. Anyway, nothing to say that hasn't been said already. Environments and level design were a bit dull, enemies were rather stupid and oddly balanced for gameplay purposes (those little dog things with the tongues were more dangerous than the lumbering Tanks). Weapons were uninspired but actually useful, unlike Unreal - with the exception of the rocket launcher, which I barely used. Can't be bothered to play the expansion packs, but I couldn't decide between this game and Unreal for the coveted "Least-Shit Game I Didn't Particularly Like" so I used the Scientific Method:

Quack 2

Dumb AI
Effective weapons
No storeh
Boring environments (nice "Palace" ffs)
Various shades of brown and grey
Iron Maiden tits

Unreal

Annoying bots
Shit weapons
No storeh (can't read)
Nice outdoor locations, shit temples and castles
Disco Inferno
Protagonist has big tits

In conclusion, Quack 2 was slightly less shit.

Meanwhile in China...
Dear Diary, my boss thinks this new manager can change things around, says this guy is a scholar, man with a plan etc.
I dunno, sometimes I think I picked the wrong boss.

01.jpg

03.jpg


Oh fuck.

04.jpg


Sigh. Here we go again.
My boss is a pretty charming dude, but he's not really capable of managing the company well.
It's a good thing people actually liked him, we get help occasionally.

05.jpg


Then we got lucky a few times here and there.

02.jpg


But shit got real when the rival CEO showed up personally to turn us upside down.

06.jpg


Dear Diary, if I don't make it past this battle, I'd probably die a virgin. So be it.

07.jpg


I don't think it's gonna make a difference this time around.
Even our best sales rep can't cope with the flood of enemies.

08.jpg

09.jpg


I was about to bail, but...

10.jpg


Goddamit, boss. We're gonna lose already.

11.jpg


Whatever you say beardy.

12.jpg


Oh shut the fuck up, scholar. You didn't plan for this.

13.jpg


We bought a little bit of hope with the pits...
But it just ain't enough.

14.jpg


I'm having a shitter of luck here.

15.jpg


Welp, gg.

16.jpg

17.jpg


So much for that heroic retirement I've always dreamed of.

18.jpg


But then there's always hope...

19.jpg

20.jpg


Why the hell not?

21.jpg


Fuck china.

FUCK YEAH!

That was on hard since the victory screen sadly doesn't show the difficulty. Got some lucky rolls at the start with decent scores in Endurance, Health, Marksmanship, and Equipment, and great scores in both Hand-to-Hand and Reflexes. Got also lucky to get the Chainsaw and Stunnux, though the rest of my equipment sucked (Blaster, Rad Pills and Anti-Rad Suit). The equipment I got during the game didn't help much either (Acid but the slime had already been killed with the Laser Lance, and the Helmet) though I got a Medpack that I didn't use, and I took a clip for the Laser Lance to replenish it after the encounter with the slime. Oh and my roll for special ability was Hiding, which probably made my score a bit lower than it could have potentially been.

What I got really lucky with was a few secret passage cards, which allowed me to avoid both the Meat Machine, for which I was prepared for, and the Chasm, for which I wasn't prepared for and dreaded its menace. I didn't have many bad encounters, with the most dangerous being Mutant Things but my high HtH score with the Stunnux helped. I ran into a few nasty traps that can ruin your run, like mines and cave-ins, but my high Reflexes definitely helped.

Now to try for a higher score!

Chainsaw Warrior. And no, it has little to do with DoomRL except maybe the general theme. This one is all about dice rolls and screwing you over them but does it in a way that feels good.
