Provoking some in-fighting in Thief Gold.
Spider was able to "kill" the Zombie, but the poor Burricks' bad breath had no effect.

Taff, those eight legged freaks can jump high!

The one thing that really failed to age well in HL are environment textures that get really blurry up close (the only old FPSes that avoided that are Unreal engine games with their detail texturing).

Other than that it still looks p. cool and features very nice weapon feedback.

The Steam version of Half-Life actually looks worse than the retail version because the OpenGL renderer resizes all non power of 2 textures which there happen to be a lot of. Disabling texture filtering in OpenGL mode won't fix it either.

So that's why the game looked like crap on my PC. Valve really cares.

The bug was reported in 2013 and was never fixed by Valve. Quake 1 and 2 actually had the same problem but source ports have fixed it for years while Valve sits on Goldsource making it worse :negative:

They would have fixed it if HL was a multiplayer game with hats, skins and crates.

Looks like pixel art made by someone with actual respect to pixel art. Nice -- rare to find these days.

If it's a new game, it succeeds in looking retro much better than those sad hipster games with fake pixelation.

It's the second of three planned DLC campaigns for Shovel Knight, released in 2014. The DLC is free, but the price of the game seems to have gone up a bit. Cheeky.

Drakan is much interesting title for me. The world for the time when it was released felt really fantastic. There are some minor detours and places, where we can find additional items that will help us on our journey. Overall, it feels bigger than it really is but the level designers knew how to keep your interest and not to repeat the same "trick" too much. There is only a small RPG-ish element - weapons and inventory. Different damage, attack speed, extra magic attacks. The bows have normal, fire, magic arrows and you go into FPP mode when you zoom up. The fighting system on ground is really simple, but some new elements like ability to cut of hands or spider legs makes it so much better!. Once you get Arokh you "unlock" a second mode for the game. It changes the perspective, makes easier to navigate through the bigger areas. It's an obvious concept, man plus dragon as a team fighting against evil but it works well here.

The second part is probably one of the best sequels ever made. The continent is much bigger, there are many side quests and stuff to do, that it really sucks that it was Playstation 2 exclusive (the first part was only on PC, go figure Japs way of thinking). It works without any problems on PCSX 2, althought the bow aiming is painful.

The soundtrack is still classy, as the whole game.

:love:
