You poor sod for getting through that slog of a game.

I liked the first one well enough but never really got around to starting book two myself.

Book II is fairly good. Book 3 though... I'd reckon it's the worst one of the bunch, I think.

Enjoying RTNP: Ultimate Edition so far.
In-fighting is always fun, and the little dinos are fun new enemies.

I may have started this game (Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis) like half a dozen times but never finished it. I found some funny pictures while rummaging through my old Steam screencaps:

Spoiler

I wonder why...

octavius, it seems like you have multitextures enabled again. As you might remember, type preferences in the console or text chat, hit Enter, and disable multitextures and OneXBlending in whichever renderer you're using. Also, if you care, it's possible to get an up-scaled HUD if the game is run through dgVoodoo (the Direct3D or the unofficial DirectX8 renderers both work fine with it), set a small resolution in the game, and force your preferred one in dgVoodoo's settings.

Edit: Actually, since it's a modification, there's a chance that something might not look right if it was designed with those features in mind. Still worth a try, it should make the skies look better.

Deus Ex can look really nice in 16 bits with dithering, by the way:

A few pics from 3 random PS1 games:

LSD Dream Emulator: a proto walking simulator where you are in some place, until you bump into a object wich teleports you to another place with weird visuals, and the same thing ad vitam æternam, it's a good game to play drunk:

Spoiler

R/C Stunt Copter: a simulation of RC helicopters by Interplay/Shiny, with hypersensitive controls using the analog sticks, hard to reach objectives and the usual Shiny humour with the situations and the voice of an anouncer always critical of the player's performance:

Spoiler

The result of most missions: the helicopter in pieces

Jumping Flash: a mix of a fully 3D FPS (before Quake) and a platformer, the game is still fun to play:

Spoiler

For the platforming sections the player can triple jump, the appearance of the character's feet and its shadow helps nicely for landing the jumps.

The stages are divided between large open levels, enclosed labyrinths like Wolf 3D and boss stages:

Bonus: Moaï statues were all the rage back then:

Blonde, slutty clothing, trashy tatts, into global conspiracies? Just my type, totally would.







I've always felt bad about blowing up Gunther, he's sort of a bro, unlike Anna. Which, btw I always liked her model in the pre-release shots better than her final version. Totally would the prototype.

I tried the multitextures trick, but I can't see any effect using Direct3D9 or OpenGL.
RTNP: Ultimate Edition, or the texture packs it uses, supports only those two renderers. The game intro looks quite a bit better with regular Direct3d, but then it can't handle the improved textures for creatures and crashes:
"Encountered oversize texture without sufficient mimaps"

I tried using Glide and dgVoodoo, but that turned the game into a slideshow.
So I will play RTNP: Ultimate Edition with OpenGL and suffer some sub-optimal graphics, and then switch to Direct3D for other UT mods I may play.

It's strange that disabling multitextures shouldn't change anything in those renderers. Perhaps it's something about that mod. I don't know if it's compatible with the OldUnreal patch, but perhaps the rendersrs included there would change something. There was this media pack with the updated renderers that didn't require installing the patch: https://www.oldunreal.com/specialpatches.html

As for dgVoodoo, it works fine with the unofficial DirectX8 renderer included with the OldUnreal patch if you wish to use S3TC textures. The older renderers won't work with them.

dafuk is that steam popup doing there

ayo hol' up

i need to uh

prepare better for this fight

 

[Baron Dupek]

Bad guy defeated, macguffin collected so it's time for

OH COME THE FUCK ON

First one is Second Sight, another is Psi Ops - Mindgate Conspiracy, antialiasing does not apply to cutscenes, whatever.
Last one is Diablo - The Hell HD, unfortunately it was removed because alpha of the sequel (TH2) was playable enough.
It is but then content is how he fucked up something simple like that is beyond me.
Items graphics "borrowed" from Path of Exile, dozen of classes and subclasses with no clear differences (sometimes warriors have problem with some 2H weapons but then excells with other 2H).
If I wanted to play Path of Exile then it's F2P, why even parroting this thing?

Here's a screenshot of the best game ever made, courtesy of the nerd who really should complete the game he's playing before starting another. To be fair, it has been a really long time since I didn't have a Jagged Alliance 2 playthrough going:

Barry remains the MVP of any squad. "They are trying to kill me... but I am profeshonal!"

 

[lightbane]

Atomic Butcher.

A rare, obscure game not much known off, but which I'm sure was made by Codexers.

And then here's my party for Nu-XCOM. Time to start the sequel someday:

Not naming your soldiers after Codexers?

 

[spekkio]

Just another day in Crusader universe... :D

Looks quiet enough...

Guard's ambush attempt ended bloody (for him), thanks to my mine, but what's with this "Morphing Security System"?

Quickload. Maybe second terminal does something good...

What do we have here...

Time to leave the area...

Verdict: , would microwave some civilians again.

And I don't think you can transfer such gameplay to 3rd dimension...

^ lol, I always thought the LNR-81 was an acid gun, not a rad gun.

Also,

:D

15 million HP, I like the sound of that.

 

[A horse of course]

heh, snake tits

Unfortunately I don't do XCOM LPs nor I had Codexers in mind when I played that, I went with whatever seemed funny.

Piratez would be the ultimate game to lp, but no-one is insane enough to do that. The game is too long.
