/vr/ - Retro Games

So, as last thread there was this post that put SS2 in a bad light, let me elaborate why I think it's the best sam.

First of all, the artstyle. You might not like the cartoon-ish style, but imo it gives the whole game a lot of charm. It's eyecatching, different and clearly SS2 the moment you see a screenshot. Also this style is very much underrepresented in the genre. There is also a lot more variation in the visuals, given the fact that you travel from world to world.

Second, the gameplay. Might just be me, but I always thought that SS2 let's you take a more aggressive approach to combat that the other games. Given how powerful your weapons are, you can push more often than you have to run. And for really bad moments, you got the serious bomb that cleans your screen for you.

Third, the weapons. The spinning shotgun, the dual uzis, the plasmagun, the canon. All feel great to use and have a cool artstyle if you ask me. And the double barrel is my favorite double barrel of any FPS out there. Chonky, awesome looking, all around amazing.

Sorry if I sound to fanboy-ish, but I can't help it. I really really like Sam 2 and it always hurts me to see how much people seem to hate it. Ramble over.
