/vr/ - Retro Games

I played Duke 3D for the first time the other day and had an absolute blast. Steam sale ends in an hour and I already bought Blood and Shadow Warrior, any other recommendations?

I have all Doom games.

Why were mid to late 90's FPS game so much fun?

Try again faggot

I think I hate this game. I used to really love it, but playing it again recently has made me feel really unsatisfied and disappointed.

The pistol is totally useless. The chaingun is unsatisfying and barely ever has ammo. The rocket launcher has horrible hit detection. You're never going to use the shrinker outside of blasting annoying fat commanders and battlelords. The devastator is worthless outside of fighting octobrains. and rarely has ammo. The freezethrower feels annoying and redundant. The only weapon that's really worth anything is the basic shotgun. So basically, one weapon from Doom 1 - except it doesn't even rise to being as good as Doom either. Every enemy outside of the most basic grunt takes multiple shots to kill, meaning most of the gameplay requires awkward strafing at groups of enemies which will inevitably shoot back at you with precise accuracy. While we're on the subject of enemies, this game is a total bore in the enemy department. I already mentioned that almost all of the enemies are annoying bulletsponges, but what's worse is how ugly, boring, and unvaried they are. Any map you play will inevitably boil down to: pig/chaingunner shooting at you. Play any level, official or fanmade and this will always be true. A total joke compared to Quake, Blood, and Shadow Warrior- which are all far superior games in terms of variety, levels, weapons, etc. Those games were released after DN3D? Sure. But again, original Doom is still way better. I cannot stand to fight more groups of bulletsponge pigs and chaingunners, with a shotgun, with no ammo, in an ugly gray environment. I'm going to be sick. I think the reason why everybody likes Duke Carribean so much is because that expansion actually has personality, despite the flaws.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant about a 20 year old game. I hope you understood my complaints. Feel free to nitpick this apart, or tell me I'm bad at the game, but I don't think you can convince me otherwise.
