Is it really as bad as some people make it out to be?

>> No.5273320

Yes.

The only people defending it are playing in modern rigs with quick loading times and the AI companions disabled.

Not that bad, but that still doesn't mean it's any good. If you're not daunted by bad design or jank, I'd say it's worth one playthrough. Get a friend to do it with you

The premise was good, the hype sky high.
If just must then play a patched version.

Mod out of the game your allies and although a little better, even then it will suck.

No, it's just salty whiners who can't handle John Romero making them his bitch.

It's fine. Not good or great, but playable. It wasn't what Romero said it was going to be.

The Ancient Greece stage is really cool. If only he had just released the game on time using the Quake 1 engine, then went to work on a new game with the Quake 2 engine instead of changing halfway.

>> No.5274831

>>5273313
If you put Daikatana at one side and Quake 2 at the other you get a clear picture of both Carmack's and Romero's personalities. Quake 2 is polished and functional but ultimately souless (yeah yeah I know). Daikatana was all cool and edgy and whatever, but it was fundamentally broken design wise, not only when you consider it as a game, but also in aesthetics... I don't have the best eyesight, but the horrid green in that first level is certainly very gross to look at. Doom was what it was because it was a ying yang, they needed each other and they were bros. I don't think people will fully realize what we lost when those two went separate ways.

>> No.5275885

>>5274831
kinda agree

would rather replay Daikatana than Quake 2

I dont think its that bad. Then again I didnt pay attention to all the hype. Average but I had fun.

Maybe it will get better with unlimited saves and companions patched out, but the first level is so shit that i don't really want to see for myself.

>> No.5281449

>>5273313
heard there is a mod that removes your sidekicks from being part of the game, as a result making it better.

We should kickstart a Daikatana remake done by John Romero.

Unreal engine?

I'm playing it right now and yeah, the first levels with the mechanical critters are something
what the fuck were they thinking?

>> No.5285054

Not really. Hating it has been a meme for years now. The frog levels starting out are a slog, but it gets better afterwards. It also didn't exactly live up to the hype.

Not bad, certainly not great..
