Duke Caribbean is pretty much just a reskinned Duke Nukem 3D with a new episode of pretty good levels. The gameplay will basically be the same only with a fun and lighthearted tropic vacation theme that it mostly sticks to.

It's actually a pretty good contrast to normal Duke Nukem 3D, which at times actually is rather dark and gloomy.

Is the Build Engine the perfect "sweet spot" between the obvious limitations of Doom (and other earlier FPSes) and the sometimes unnecessary complexity of later FPSes (even by the late 90s)?

It seriously seems like the ultimate middle ground where it was the first time that it seemed like you could do ANYTHING (or at least as much as you needed to) in the FPS genre, but before devs started trying to do shit they really didn't need to do at all. This isn't even to say that the Build games were "the best FPSes ever", just that they're arguably closer to an ideal of what the genre should be like both in terms of gameplay and of content.

>> No.5832034

What's the "correct" way to play Blood?

I'm used to playing Doom and related games on whatever their equivalent of Ultraviolence is. Basically, the hardest difficult without just being annoying or gimmicky, or requiring savescumming. I'm also used to no saving - you have to beat the level with a single clean run. But in Blood on Well Done I feel like I'm getting unavoidable damage from a lot of enemies, so that it's less a matter of skill and more a matter of "I guess I'll know to prep my shot against that guy, next time." Which obviously isn't fun.

Savescumming would alleviate it a bit but that just doesn't feel fun to me. Might as well have godmode on.

Well done is doable blind, if you are a really goof fps player and experiment for a couple levels and understand the game, problem is the very difficult first part.

Most people should play on lightly broiled.

I think one of the problems people dish on blood is that Blood is not a Duke or even Doom run and gun, you can run and gun in some necessary situations, but most of Blood is using the best weapons for each type of enemy, and playing like a much more slow and pre planning game. Sort of like a Deus Ex on realistic.

The arsenal of Caleb reflects this swiss knife commando approach, there are four types of dynamite.

>Well done is doable blind, if you are a really goof fps player

do you find it's doable without quicksaving?

i find the one thing that kills blood for me is: unavoidable damage. there is a lot of hitscan damage in the game that you're simply GOING to take, the millisecond you round a corner, unless you already know where that guy is and can preemptively dynamite him. if you take the latter possibility out of the equation, and especially if you ban yourself from quicksaving and play the game blind, it's extremely tedious to play

i'm playing through it right now on well done and i'm several episodes in, and it's just not very fun. no real problems with it other than this, it's a fun game and the mechanics work great etc., the only problem is just the insta-reaction of most hitscanners, meaning you are guaranteed to take some damage no matter your skill level in many instances

>> No.5836835

>>5836821
to clarify, i don't even mean that the unavoidable damage situations make it impossible - i just think it's sloppy game design in general. there are many instances where no amount of pro reaction time or strategy could have saved me, let alone a reasonable amount. the only real thing to do in those situations has been to pre-plan/savescum.

>> No.5836851

>>5836835
>to clarify, i don't even mean that the unavoidable damage

Yes its doable without quicksaves.

Its not unavoidable that is the thing, at first I felt like you but then I got gud real fucking fast, you can avoid cultists. Its just a very hard game. They need to be taken seriously. I usually save 2 to 3 times in a mission, even the longer ones.
I do feel the first chapter gives the players a wrong impression.

Cultists really are fucking hard, crouch and stunlock them. Dont be afraid to waste rocket and tommy gun ammo is my advice.

i agree with you in a general sense. but i'm pretty good at these games and also very willing to git gud and blame myself when i fuck up, AS LONG AS the mechanics are solid themselves. it's this that's the problem:

>[hitscan is] not unavoidable that is the thing,
build engine games genuinely have difficulties with hitscanning enemies that don't have wind-up/telegraphing animations, this has been griped about on and off for years. there are a few tricks i've found in blood, mainly to trigger the "pursue player" animation by corner-peeking AI for a split second without taking a shot, but even THAT is imperfect. sometimes i simply take unavoidable damage no matter what, especially when i'm playing levels blind and can't tediously peek every single corner one by one.

or worse, when there are rooms where large groups of enemies are suddenly revealed and you have to make fast decisions about how to take cover and stunlock them etc. in doom, those set pieces are the most fun and require the most skill, but in this game it's just "ok, guess i'd better run behind that pillar right as the set piece starts, because i got insta-hitscanned by 6 enemies whose positioning i couldn't have predicted. time to reload."

You can also play a game with less retarded design.
I completely respect that Blood is a lot of people's favourite game because they had it as a kid, and powered through with the tenacity that kids have, but janky workarounds like you guys are discussing aren't fun pacing... in fact it's pretty much the opposite of what makes most of these classics fun.
If it were System Shock or something where the oppressive environment and survival element are part of why you signed up it, but Blood feels like it's meant to be run-and-gun only someone put bullshit values in the difficulty multipliers at the last minute.

No that was always in the game. It's actually full of crass shit like that. Dick jokes, masturbation jokes, gags about the protagonist being a whore; nothing egregious but it feels like it could have come out in 1999.

The soap thing is a pair of textures for soap bottles found in bathrooms, which you probably wouldn't have noticed or registered as a joke without it being pointed out. That and some debug text you'll never see are all they changed, apparently.

The soap being so innocuous while the game contains actual schoolyard humour that's a lot more visible should be a major clue that they made the whole thing up for free press.

Thinking about this for a minute, I think the problem might be the skullspiders having too much HP as opposed to the shotgun having suck damage.
It seems like a lot of the game is balanced around Loverboy's alt-fire. It's already pretty strong, and it's natural that you'd want to use it on shit like spider swarms but it would feel shitty to waste the second shot on each one. That's probably the reason there's only one enemy in the game that takes an uneven number of Loverboy shots.

But that still leaves the impression that it's weak. And for something called the "Disperser" the spread kinda sucks, which combined with mediocre damage and that long-ass cycle time makes it kind of lame for most of the things you'd usually use a shotgun for in a game like this.

I think Loverboy is definitely the culprit; he makes *everything* else feel weak. And in addition to being a better sniper weapon than the actual sniper weapon, I think he's subtly a 3-pellet shotgun too for even more thunder-stealing.

I'm happy to have a relatively civil conversation about this, dude. So let's not put words in one another's mouths and drag it down into a spergfest. I think the subject of marketers adapting to take advantage of something that has been a problem in the industry is an interesting one, and obviously the whole goal of a trick like this would be to deceive people so there's no shame in falling for it.
But if it makes money then it's going to become a more common tactic (assuming it isn't already and I bet someone can probably remember other examples of SJW-baiting), so in a few years we're gonna look back and think it was silly that we ever fell for it.

I use the SMG on them. They go down real fast to it, even faster if dual-wielding.

Every weapon has its specific enemies/situations that it's best against. Except the Clusterpuck, as that's just a shittier Bowling Bomb.

>> No.5840137

>>5840114
Yeah same, SMG instantly murders nearly everything though.
I also use the Ion Bow on those guys sometimes, because the projectile can make their missiles explode midair which takes them out with 1 shot if you time it right.

(which is also about the only time I used the bow besides BFG-spamming bosses, since that's another thing the pistol outclasses especially with its fucking autoaim jank you can't turn off)

Clusterpuck's standard mode is useless but the alt-fire is great in limited circumstances to be fair, usually revenge after dying to an ambush or really obvious shit like the zombie hallway.
Still I had 12 of them when I reached the final boss... and guess what, they don't do shit when you throw them inside the dome.

I'm real borderline on bitching about weapons in this game. On one hand the only memorable gun is the starting pistol and there's no dick-hardening superweapons, on the other hand it's fine to have a more reserved and down-to-earth weapon list considering they're all conceptually solid and well-designed.
I kinda wish you got Loverboy later in the game, maybe after the Disperser? That might have helped with setting expectations.

Somebody posted a screenshot of a Discord conversation to Resetera. It supposedly shows a dev saying "Parents who force their kids to be trans are shitty and unfit parents".

The same dev later said "Some sjws are fucking crazy" and the Ion Fury twitter friended a Twitter account which was basically "shit crazy sjws say".

The devs responded by freaking out, purging their steam forums, apologizing for any offense, forcing all employees to undergo mandatory sensitivity training, and donating $10,000 to an LTBQA+++ charity.

Resetera members then starting no-clipping through levels hoping to find more "problematic" content. They found a soap bottle called "Ogay" and an inaccessible message thanking a friend of the dev team which had the word "fagbag" in it.

Some Resetera members have also complained that one of the devs said the word "retarded". If you ever hear someone complain about Ion Fury being "ableist" then they're probably referring to that (or, just as likely, they're just parroting something they saw on Twitter without checking what it is).

I suspect the whole thing was done deliberately by a banned member of the official Discord. I've got no proof besides an old Ion Fury review that a dev responded to, calling the reviewer out for acting like a twat in Discord and being banned.

Yeah that was exactly my point. They're the kind of enemy that in most games a shotgun's spread would be ideal for, but here you need to be about as accurate as you would with any other gun to get enough pellets to land on them.
I can't think of any time I used it because it felt like the best option and not simply because I was conserving ammo for more versatile weapons (grenade mode notwithstanding, which was possibly my favourite).

I mean, the Loverboy lockon balance/feel theory makes sense to explain this, so I can see why they might do it that way and I'm not someone who thinks every game should follow the same conventions or that it sucks because I disagree with a decision... but comparing shotguns is a meme and this stuff is why I find Ion's one weird-feeling.

That article is actually pretty even-handed. I misjudged it at first because fuck everybody who writes about this kind of inflated nothing-drama, but stuff like giving the dev's side of the story (and backing it up decently in the case of the fagbag thing) is a valuable service.

Literally the only time I used the baton, until I decided it wasn't even worth switching guns for them. I never even found out what the alt fire does exactly because it was never necessary.

how is it even handed to unequivocally take the side of the developers on every point and assume they had the absolute best interest in mind every time despite lack of evidence?

Also to me this isn't even about whether or not they're bigots, but this was handled in such a poor way now that they look bad no matter how you view it. They shouldn't have pulled this latest move. I mean are they fucking stupid? "Fagbag" is found in their game, and their discord is full of insensitive language about trans people, with this context is it REALLY all that strange that people are maybe slightly unsure of how to feel about them? so what move do you make after that? MUH ANTI-CENSORSHIP.

ogay wasn't worth being upset about, but if you take the rest of it into context, I can at least see why people would scoff at it, but to me it was nothing but a juvenile and dumb joke. But after all this, they legitimately come across as idiots.

Well, it doesn't really do that, but to the extent it does: because assumption of good faith is instrumental to both productive debate and good journalism.

>if you take the rest of it into context
What rest of it? It's fucking nothing.
The discord stuff is something you'd have to be severely brainwashed to disagree with, and besides the fact that devs should be "allowed" to put whatever dumb injokes they want in code/debug junk, fagbag is about as offensive as foobar or ogay unless you're looking (or pretending) to be upset.

Hitscanners in Duke3D can sorta be dodged some with high speed strafing, and a pretty valuable tactic is to dive in and out of cover, popping off a shot or two before falling back, then repeating.
Pig cops are generally shit shots at range, while your own shotgun actually has pretty decent range.

Which I think tells us exactly zero. Anything could still happen.

PS I have a marketing class report due tomorrow which I haven't started yet, partly due to playing Ion Fury, so I'm thinking I might write it on Ion/Iron Maiden, derp.
So if anyone has any insight or good articles (especially on the branding side of this) plz post.

It's kinda interesting how the Iron Maiden reference (which was a much better title for multiple obvious reasons) worked to drive downloads of the demo, and it doesn't matter that much that the name changed after that. Even if they never thought they could keep the title it would still have been a great strategy.
And if you guys like conspiracy theories... I just learned that Iron Maiden only applied for their videogames trademark a couple months before Ion Maiden was revealed... which was THREE YEARS after the mobile game it applies to was actually released.

Wait, nevermind, sleepy brain fart. I got my years mixed up. It was well after Ion Maiden was announced.
But that makes all the anons who were pointing to the mobile game trademark as a clincher here... totally wrong. Iron Maiden Ltd just kinda went with the shotgun approach and claimed everything they could think of as a factor in their filing, including a bunch of pretty weak shit, and a mark you got granted almost a year after the other guy started heavily marketing isn't super convincing. Not that they shouldn't have applied for it, but it ain't the trump card people here were acting like it was, at all.

After skimming things I'm inclined to think they would have won. (Might still? It wouldn't be the first time a game has changed title after release, just for the exact opposite reason it usually happens.)

Here's a fun quote from 2010 I just found while looking for references:
>Most fans who understood the Duke Nukem mythos weren't offended and the gamers who really got offended were never the intended audience. These kind of tactics work, and they work well. They grab attention and galvanize the "Can't you take a joke?" crowd.

>While this marketing may be in bad taste and juvenile, it's appropriate for the game. If the marketing has to convey the experience of the game, it has to communicate to the gamer an honest expectation. So, while the steroid-swag was over the top and puerile, it kind of kicked ass because it's marketing Duke Nukem true to form.

Thing is, you can never compare sales figures to themselves in a "what if they had done something different" unless you have both a time machine and can split the universe into an A and B side and travel between them, and I'm too tired for that right now.

However I did look up the Google Trends chart for Ion Maiden vs Ion Fury. Observations:
- Search interest is currently at its highest point, and still rising.
- The next highest point in the whole history of the game since the reveal, and considerably bigger than search interest following the reveal itself, was when the lawsuit happened.
- The biggest spike between the lawsuit and release was the name change announcement.
- That Fury naming spike is equal in size to the demo releases.

I don't know about Build, because I've never mapped for it, but mapping for Doom in the 90s could be an occasional shitshow, because of lots of eccentricities and how the tools were just developed by amateurs.

>iD never released an official map editor or .wad editor
>options that existed were dubious freeware, and demo versions of decent editors, where you could only use so many linedefs, things, etc on a map without buying the full version (a limitation that occasionally did breed some creative, if plain looking maps)
>nodebuilders were notoriously finicky and slow, modern software is far more lenient because you don't have to worry if two nodes are too close and if they'll make the BSP tree shit itself, Doombuilder and its descendants are very safe, but back in the day it wasn't rare for hours of work to be lost because of janky software
>Doom's original .exe didn't support just partial sprite replacements in pwads like you can do with sourceports, if you wanted to change just a torch or something, or just one frame out of an animation, you would need to have a replacement for every other sprite in the game, otherwise it wouldn't work properly, leading to needing a program which would let you patch the content of a pwad onto your iwad (and later restore it) so you didn't have to (illegally) include most of the commercial iwad with whatever you were doing

Out of Carmack, Silverman, and Pitchford, Ken always seemed like the most well adjusted. Carmack has to legitimately be on the spectrum with how he talks about and envisions programming, and Pitchford is a sociopath, so it's not as if it's a hard bar to clear.

desu people like Carmack are part of the reason I'm skeptical of "the spectrum". If you had a weird alien kid like that back when he was born, you'd probably just hope they were a savant and have at least a cautious optimism towards their eccentricities. Today parents are strongly encouraged to treat slightly weird kids like they ~probably~ have a crippling disability, which is just a great way to st up a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like how many sperg kids could get his criminal record now and escape the syringes?

I don't know what the fuck is so great about ordinary humans that you'd be worried if your kid isn't one.

Yeah but he didn't fall out of the womb with his skills.
Maybe he turned out the way he did because his entire life wasn't constrained by downward pressure from a uniformly negative paradigm of expectations that basically only ranges from "you upset other people" to "you're a literal fucking nightmare".

I feel pretty lucky that when I was a kid, being what we now call a sperg just meant you got IQ tests and maybe skipped a grade. I doubt I would have been given the opportunity to start programming (as early as I did at least) without an optimism that I'm not sure exists now. Today it seems more like... body horror.

According to developer Michael Lutynski, the engine was a custom development for KT with the intent to use it for other games, but that never happened. It even had support for something similar to Build's room-over-room.

>Cortical white matter increases from childhood (~9 years) to adolescence (~14 years), most notably in the frontal and parietal cortices.[8] Cortical grey matter development peaks at ~12 years of age in the frontal and parietal cortices, and 17 years in the temporal lobes (with the superior temporal cortex being last to mature) for women and they have reached full maturity at age 16-17. For men, they become fully mature at age 18. In terms of grey matter loss, the sensory and motor regions mature first, followed by other cortical regions.[8] Human brain maturation continues to around 20[9] to 25[10] years of age.

That's the point.
Would his potential have been wasted if he were born today?

Being intelligent doesn't help much if you never get the learning opportunities you need, which is conceivable in a society that is increasingly treating people who don't conform to expectations like they are diseased.
I say I'm skeptical of the paradigm because "the spectrum" seems like a huge invitation (almost an obligation) to over-categorise kids and trend towards pessimism.

I'm the one talking about the "spectrum" re: being counterproductive to put Carmack in the same category as furniture-chewing autismoid mutants, and had a conversation because anon wanted to talk about it, but I had nothing to do with the mapster debate. I've never used mapster.
Unless you mean the other guy, but this is an anonymous imageboard so that samefag shit is pointless white-noise unless you have a good reason.

I agree this tangent has gone on too long though.

The last thing I played was Ion Maiden which simultaneously makes me want to make something, and also premptively exhausted about levels.
I wanna say it has some super memorable shit but the seamless level gimmick makes it hard to remember where a map begins and ends.

I appreciate that I didn't have to use the automap once which might be a first for a Build game.

I was too lazy to post a graphic but I mentioned referencing google trends earlier.
At least from that it looks like the tranny rage shit didn't actually have much of an impact. The biggest spikes in search interest were the launch (still continuing), followed by the Iron Maiden lawsuit articles, and thirdly the original announcement.
Everything else is pretty much a blip.

Buuuut none of that resetera drama makes total sense when you dig into it so I still think it was *all* a wag the dog marketing scheme, including the iron maiden stuff. Mark my words and penis: they'll "settle" and change the name back to Ion Maiden within a month or three.
