Are you the same anon who made that on DKC3 thread or is this some new /v/-tier meme?
OT I think they're both amazing games. Duke 3D has the most replay value and the best enemies but the level design and choice of weapons in SW is also good. I'd recommend both to any FPS fan. Never played Blood so not sure how that stacks up to both.

Just a warning to anybody new to Blood: this thing is glitchy af and is still very much in the production phase (still in beta actually). You'll get a lot of weird shit and idiosyncrasies happening that you won't see in the real game.

>> No.4055639

>>4055615
While I agree that it's still in beta and not 100% finished, "a lot of weird shit an idiosyncrasies"? That seems a bit harsh, I've gone through the whole game and have not noticed anything major, except for some missing textures in the Cryptic Passage add-on and the occasional sprite jittering from time to time (that apparently got fixed in the latest version I linked to). Did you have some sort of other problem that stopped you from playing the game?

>> No.4055641

>>4055615
*Also there aren't any voxels in the game yet so you'll miss out on some environmental details and other little shit (like weapon pickups etc won't be voxels, instead will just be sprites).

>> No.4055648

>>4055639
Actually now that I think about it, there was a noticeable visual glitch happening when looking at certain ROR sectors. Guess I didn't think about it too much since I already know the game, but yeah, maybe I'd recommend waiting for a more stable version if you never experienced the game before. Other than that, if you're just an old Blood fan that wants to replay the game in full screen with 60+ fps, then you should definitely check it out, it's bretty gud.

>>4055641
Also this, although the guy behind the port said voxels (as well as cutscenes) will be coming in the next version.

I don't see why the suggestion is so outlandish.

I actually think all three BUILD engine giants are objectively equal. They each have their own strengths and qualities; which you like more simply comes down to personal preference.

Also the 'SW has bad level design' is a stupid meme, one that I only ever seem to come across on /vr/ (a board that really doesn't know jack shit about FPS in all honesty).

I think it's because the levels tend to be very small and complicated with lots of secrets and hidden things to find that are necessary to progress. I can appreciate it because I like a challenge, and have been playing FPS since Doom came out. It was made for people like me, not for people wanting an easy FPS game.

I always liked douk more. I found Shadow Warrior really eerie and creepy for some reason. It was probably because of the strange humanoid enemies with their strange monster faces. Also those goddamn rat gorillas or whatever they were.

Last night I had this weird dream where I had discovered some kind of beta version of 'Blood' where everything was different and the first level was this huge garage type place at night, and it ended with an Egyptian tomb. Not exactly sure what might have caused that.

By the way, I like SW the most with B in second.

Redneck Rampage Deer Hunting is out of league because it's more of a hunting game than a FPS, but honestly it's really fun for what it is.

Extreme Paintball is out of league for being multiplayer only.

Play the DOS version. It's very underrated imo.

Watch out what you download. There are plenty of bad rips going on, including some glitchy beta ones which have plagued this game ever since release. So make sure you have a version with musics, and the date on the exe should be:
Powerslave: Dec 04 1996
Exhumed: Mar 19 1997

It's recommended to use Exhumed because it fixed a couple of glitches.

As for the console versions, play the Saturn version.
It works perfectly fine on emulators, I used Yabause and literaly the only difference was that the bg image was absent during loading times. Very minor. I've got the speedrun world record (only contestant) for the Saturn version on real hardware so I'd have noticed if there was any difference playing emulated in yabause, trust me, there isn't.

Then, play the PS1 version. It's a port of the Saturn version. If you ask me it's inferior in many ways, but it's still worth playing because it has many differences, including about 4 levels total which are completely changed and new.

I've always felt that way. Lo is seriously funny and a cool character, Duke is pure cringe to me. SW also has much better enemy design and I like the weapons much more. That includes the shotgun by the way. I really dislike the DN shotty but for some reason people complain about the SW riot shotgun a lot. Why is that? Because of the huge spread and the unusual weapon design? I like it and think it's really refreshing, I especially love the alternative burst fire mode though, it really lets you rip through hordes of enemies fast, almost as fast as it burns through your ammo.
