/vr/ - Retro Games

The only pre-HL classical shooters I beat were Blood and Doom 1-2. The rest just didn't stick to me since they all became dull and repetitive real quick. I really dig the aesthetic and art-direction, but level design of most of the boomer shooters was still too raw. Sometimes even for it's time.
It's a shame that people put HL in opposition to old-style FPS by calming that it was too linear, but forgetting that it sacrificed a lot in order to be more engaging.
Glad that these days gamedevs understand that and put much more effort into levels, rather that just stuffing the game with lot's of monsters, weapons and gigs alone.
