/vr/ - Retro Games

what's the best way to play rise of the triad?

I played Rott and its remake for the first time on the weekend.

The remake is kind of meh but I actually am really diggin the original. I beat the first remake episode and the shareware episode on the hardest difficulties (this ain't my first FPS rodeo).

There was no way for me to get winrottgl to work, I can't find all the .dll's I need and Winrott has some really fucked up glitches and a load glitch that makes it virtually unplayable. So it was DOS for me. I had to figure out to patch it up to 1.3, it was weird because the mouse had tank controls on 1 but they must have fixed it.

I have just been playing as Taradino because I don't care about characters and i guess he looks the most like Doomguy.

To me ROTT feels definitely like a Wolfenstein 3d sequel. I don't really know how memorable the levels are going to be for me, but its got speed so thats great. The platformings annoying until you figure out to stop running for walking along pads and stairs.

This game is really mean't to be played on the hardest difficulty, its a blast. I understand however how people don't like it as much, and to me the only superior thing ROTT has over Doom is its music: as evident h as its music features in Doom PWADs.

I feel like EROTT is going to fuck me up.

Played neither Wolfenstein nor Doom as a kid but put a lot of hours into R.O.T.T. instead. I hear there's a remake out. I kind of found the games pretty boring compared to Duke 3D but the multiplayer was basically the greatest until I found stuff like Quake, UT, CS.
