This game attracts a lot of salty shitposters that suck at fps and they're all gonna be baited into this thread. Advanced warning that this thread is going to be complete and utter cancer.

Before we get there though, can someone tell me how to run Blood as best I can on dosbox? My specs:

i5 7300hq
Nvidia geforce 1060
8gb ram

I mean I can run gta 5 at 60fps 1080p but for blood on dosbox I barely get 60fps at 640x480 native. Is there anything I can do? Someone please help, I should surely be able to run it much better than this.

install dos over your windows install so you can run it natively

Spent ten years on /v/ and nobody's ever talked shit about BLOOD. Explain.

I highly recommend getting BloodGDX, but if you really want the DOS version:

Download the latest SVN build of DOSBox here: http://www.emucr.com/search/label/DOSBox.. I suppose you know the basic stuff about mount and imgmount commands and how to put them into autoexec, so I won't go over this. Now, for the important settings:
output=openglnb (it's the fastest)
machine=vesa_nolfb (fixes flickering issues)
memsize=64 (the game can take almost 40MB)
scaler=none (again, it's the fastest)

I'd also recommend these settings, but this stuff is purely cosmetical:
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=true
fullresolution=desktop
windowresolution=original
aspect=true

Apart from this stuff, you should also download bmouse for proper dual axis mouse look and DOS32A for some more performance improvements.

You will still eventually give up and play BloodGDX though, because the input latency is ass in the DOS version, even at a good framerate

Good game, but way too much hitscan and cheap deaths, kinda encourages save scumming, unlike Doom.

Damn right is one of the best!

Also the expansions are amazing, one with new shit, the other with amazing level design, don't recall wich is wich, but worth to play both.

And don't forget Deathwish, a really amazing fan made map pack, which came out a few years back and is getting a new update later this year.

Damn GDX is surprisingly faithful from what I've tried of it so far. I wonder why people are always shitting on it on blood threads on /V/? Anyway is it possible to play cryptic passage using it? When I tried to launch it using the User episode feature I got a shit load of texture errors.

I have just played for like half an hour but still, and I finished deathwish a few weeks ago so I have the original engine behavior in recent memory.

Anyway why don't you just explain what you dislike about it?

It's an inaccurate empirical recreation based off the alpha version of the leaked source, coded in fucking java
Need I say more?
