Also, Daikatana soundtrack beats Q2 soundtrack, thanks to bigger variety and talent compared to Dikicyan's newbie stuff.

I wouldn't put the two in the same genre though. Daikatana soundtrack belongs in a playlist with UT soundtrack.

No argument from me, since Quake 2 soundtrack doesn't belong anywhere near good music.

Are you really saying that one game is better than other because it has better music?

No, you retard, if we would judge games by music, then Amiga games would rule the world.

I think all three soundtracks are fine and can profess to having used both UT and Q2 soundtracks to serve as background noise for other fast-paced shooters. There's just something about the Q2 soundtrack that instinctively makes me want to jump on my own grenades.

The sum of the parts makes the whole, in my opinion. Quake had decent gameplay, but in terms of aesthetics it felt really disjointed. When the music turns into mechanical crickets chirping, as you're rocket jumping your way through a cyclopean castle, blowing up walking chunks of flesh and polar bears that shoot lightning, you end up with a fairly distorted experience. Multiplayer was great in that regard, as exploration and attention to detail isn't as much of a key mechanic, but the music still doesn't fit the fast-paced action involved -- so fuck it.

Eh, I always thought Amiga music was grossly overrated.

I'm posting on the Codex, so all three are true by default. Even so, all the 10h music compilations out there contain 9h of regurgitated garbage. Despite what hipsters may believe, it's not a matter of platform or game but the talent of individual composers and the difference between the artistic quality of a track on its own v.s its quality as part of a game. Composing a track that's appropriate for a non-interactive demo or splash-screen doesn't compare to composing a track that sets the right mood for executing a series of complex actions within an interactive environment.

I've been composing music for mods and games for more than 2 years, so I know what that means, bro.
But also a lot of things depend on the person that is playing the game. If you want to duscuss more, PM me, and we'll talk.

The mom lady looks more like Meg Ryan than Tidus. And that's saying something.

Yeah, it made me feel suicidal too, fortunately turning it off helped.

Leaving only game's own shittiness (in SP, at least) to struggle with.

Modded NPCs can sometimes be funny :

Getting free rest when you're carrying twenty thousands gold pieces is indeed pretty insulting.

- @Gameplay: "use binoculars to spot enemies from 2km, so they appear on your radar"

- "Does it get ANY better, because so far it's total shit - it's more of a hiking simulator than a FPS... "

Set it on realistic difficulty without quicksaves, you'll be glad that binoculars spot enemies...

So.. Am I getting this right: I wrote that I hated the cheating AI (fags can perfectly snipe you with a rifle from 500m, even if you're perfectly hidden) plus binoculars working as a "marker" for the radar and... you recommend me to increase difficulty and stop using quicksaves? And that will help with the shitty aimbot AI, boring levels and unfunny gameplay how exactly?

Kidding - Already uninstalled. That was my second aborted attempt, so it's either not my cup of tea of simply a shitty game

You should re install it and try with Delta Sector mod

it's a real spotting nightmare
