/vr/ - Retro Games

Old /vr/ consensus was that this game was shit and ruined fps. Now you are allowed to talk about it the retro fps general and jannies delete the truth. What went wrong?

Retards still pretend it's one the best fps games.

>I killed FPS forever, yet i'm revered

The Golden Age of FPS began with the release of the Doom shareware on December 10,1993. It died on November 19, 1998 with the release of Half-Life. It was an age marked by countless great shooters, all with maximum amounts of SOUL, all inspired by Doom. But then came Half-Life, an outright joke compared to games like Doom or Rise of the Triad, and it all disappeared. Why did this happen?

Why does /vr/ pretend this game is good now?
Muh modding scene doesn't hide the horrible legacy this game has (mods sucked btw).
Goodbye non linear arcadey fps.
Enjoy your linear modern garbage forever.

What went wrong /vr/?
The old consensus was that it ruined fps.
Now everyone pretends it's a classic.

He's right

No matter how many times you delete these threads.
The truth is that this game was the beggining of the end for gaming.
Zoomer first 90's fps.
Inferior to the build trinity, id games, immersive sims, powerslave, cybermage, strife, unreal, tribes, dark forces, sin, marathon, the list goes on.
How can you defend a game so linear?
Do you enjoy movie games?
Hate player agency, non linearity and interactivity?
The level design was a step back.
You can't hate cod and modern games and defend this tripe.
Oldfags of this board hated it since 2013.

Look at the replies https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/5522652/#5524928
How can you say it's good and beloved?

The old consensus was that it ruined the genre with it's linear cinematic gameplay.
Now zoomers are allowed to discuss it in the retro fps general.
Goodbye fun arcadey gameplay.
Goodbye choices and player agency.
Goodbye immersive sims and Stalker.
Goodbye non linear gameplay.
You ruined gaming.
Fuck linearity.

It literally killed fps. Muh mods is not going to make this game good. This was old /vr/ consensus.

If you came to /vr/ on 2020 you will think it's a masterpiece. If you are an oldfag from 2013 you will see it ruined fps forever. Can't compare with Thief, System Shock, Deus Ex, Doom, Quake, Duke, Blood, Unreal, Marathon, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Cybermage, Strife, Dark Forces, Shadow Warrior, Tribes, Powerslave, the list goes on...

Jannies delete every post saying this game killed fps.
Old /vr/ agreed with this.
6th gen zoomers ruined this board and now pretend this game is a classic.
>but people were tired of doom clones
Normalfags aren't people.
>but the mods
Inferior to doom and quake modding scene.
There is no reason to praise modern cinematic garbage.
FFS HLcucks are hijacking the doom/retro fps right now.
Do something oldfags.

/v/eddit favorite 90's fps

>took credit from other better games
>dumbed down them
>ruins genre forever
No wonder old /vr/ hated this game

Old /vr/ hated this game.
It killed the genre.
HLfags should leave the doom thread and the board.

>tfw you play the same game over and over again just in different ports, versions and languages
Inb4 played Half-Life in WON, steam, PS2, Dreamcast versions and even unofficial mods and ports for the consoles. It will never end, there is only Half-Life. It is my life. I will never run out of things to do with Half-Life.

Half Life 1 is an overly long game with repetitive levels/filler throughout and sub-par shooting (not HL2 levels of bad shooting mind but the gunplay is at best unsatisfying and on hard just spongey enemies). The supposedly amazing marine AI is 90% hardcoding grenade throws and the like + voice lines that have no bearing on what they're actually doing so they seem smarter. There are a lot of weird TECHNOLOGY features like alien-specific AI that, while neat, you'll rarely even see and won't have any effect on your actual experience playing the game. Xen was actually a good way to freshen up the end of the game after endless bland/grey corridors.

You could cut out at least 1/3rd of the entire game and improve the overall experience without losing anything but filler. Much of the game is just walking down grey corridors fighting the same group of 2-3 enemies to flip a switch and while that's true of many classic FPS games they at least had some difficulty, competently designed shooting mechanics and enemy variety to keep it interesting.

Real talk. Was it a doomclone, an arcade shooter, a military shooter, an immersive sim, or a quakevania?

As it turns out when content creators want to make big-time Quake mods, they end up making actual games.
