Playing this for the first time and I'm actually enjoying it after hearing nothing but bad things. It's definitely a step down from Duke/Blood/SW but it's still a solid shooter. Why all the hate?

because it is a bad game
that doesn't mean it isn't fun though

It's really not that much worse than the Build Trinity games though. If those are an A+ this is like a B- or a C+

>> No.7901258

>>7901245
Nah it's notably worse. Worse level design and gunplay for sure, bad weapon selection, the key hunting is pants on head retarded, bad balancing. Too many spongey enemies. I'd put this at a C- at best.

You fight almost exclusively 2 enemies (copies of Doom's pistol and shotgun zombies) for 90% of the game.

Play Powerslave (the Build version).

I played this game as a kid and don't remember what the fuck it was about. There were aliens, right?

Its pretty good with great level design, but some puzzles are stupidly hard for no reason. The end-puzzle of sewer level was shit. I've dropped it on one-shotting booby alien girl at police station, going to continue one day.

Redneck Rampage is oozes style and it's the best looking game on the Build Engine but it's also a fucking train wreck of bad design choices.

>> No.7904985

>>7901285
Agreed.
Redneck Rampage is great tier, it’s as samey as any of the other build games, but it has an amazing soundtrack and great silly atmosphere.
Anyone who shits on redneck rampage has not played it in 25 years.

bullshit. i played as much of it as i could stand recently (only a few levels) and it sucks just as much as it did back in the day.

OP here. About to finish the game. It's still a solid 8/10 imo. Like others have said in this thread some of the level design/puzzles are bullshit but I'm still having alot of fun with it. Are the expansion pack/sequels worth a go?

The usual complaints are
>level design is confusing, don't know where to go
>the keys are tiny and hard to see so you could easily miss them
>sewer level
>w-why does the scattergun scatter the pellets everywhere and isn't like doom sotgun??? it sucsk!!!
I can agree with the level design being confusing at times, which really sucks when you go through the whole OST trying to figure out what to fucking do next as opposed to dual wielding and going on a mayhem like you can in Blood. Once you figure out where to go, the game's a blast. The sequel adds in more enemy variety.

>>7902574
Good take.

>> No.7905452

>>7901234
I would say most of the complaints are that some levels are shittily designed, weapon damage is inconsistent as fuck, and the game is buggy as fuck. If you are playing a port the third problem is solved but the first two remain. Redneck Rampage can be decent fun for what it is (I have beaten it on hard), it really is crap compared to the game it's based on and its brethren.

This exactly. It's a fun game. It's no masterpiece, but it's still just a plain good time.
