I also mean games were going straight isn't necessarily the right way, like if you aren't paying attention you will get lost.

looks good

Games like Dark Forces 2 were dead the moment Halflife was released and showed that there was big money in making games for dumb people.

Hi Alf

To be fair you need a high iq to understand Dark Forces 2.

Dark Forces 2 is probably my favorite game of all time, bless you based anon.

If you meant to post Dark Forces 1 instead you should probably check out its "Doom clone" contemporaries like the Build Engine games, Shadow Warrior, ROTT, etc. Maybe Marathon? (never played it)

If you play DF2 make sure you don't skip out on MotS. Also try to get a multiplayer game on DF2, preferably Canyon Oasis, you haven't had the full experience without spamming force absorb and healing while someone is spamming lightning and fireballs at you while you're both diagonal-strafing past each other jumping and swinging lightsabers. It's great fun.

Dark Forces is itself far better than Doom. Each level is unique and well designed, and usually has a distinguishing color pallet and a contextual story reason. It at least feels like you're going onto something. Doom was obviously earlier and things weren't there yet in the industry, at least for that genre.
It has a lot of technical features that mastered the style before the transition in FPS to full 3D.

Hi mr.Terminator

Yeah Half-Life really sucks.
Sacrificed gameplay for linear cinematic fake-immersion.
It is the Final Fantasy VII of First Person Shooters.

And yet it had some of the best gameplay of the genre.

It's pretty telling that jannies have to delet posts everytime hl1 is criticized.
Your meme game will never be respected in the retro community.

If you never killed people in MP by turning yourself into a bridge, deleting the bridge you copied, floating over the abyss, and watching them noclip through you to their death, you've never lived

I remember a guy online who made his character model a bacta tank and then just sat on top of a bacta tank spot and spun around until someone tried to pick him up, then he jumped up and killed them.
