This is still better and more fun than any of the post Quake Carmack produced tech demos disguised as a games.

you can still see the quake/ doom design under the jankiness and terrible RPG elements. i definitely enjoy it more than doom 3 or rage.
daikatana probably never would have been a classic, but it might have been better recieved if you just started with normal guns and human enemies instead of using the ridiculous self-damage laser cannon to kill bugs

Flawed as fuck, but the game has ambition, and I respect that.
Some of the weapons are cool too, I like the Greek/Roman era's arsenal.

It's better than that shitheap in the OP.

i love quake, but let's be honest it's not much more evolved than doom. which is fine because doom is fundamentally a good game.

still wonder what the rpg they had in mind would've played like. i guess hexen 2? ugh.

No it isn't, it's not even playable at times. You lose if your suicidal AI teammates die, which they will almost endlessly. How in the fuck can that be considered better and more fun?

It really isn't, even with the 1.3 fan patch and sidekicks disabled it's just a mediocre shooter with low effort rpg mechanics tacked on.

Contrarianism never has enough, it's always looking for new heights of disagreeable viewpoints to hold, solely because other people disagree and not due to merit. "Daikatana was good, actually" isn't new but it sure is a height.

The GBC games is still a million times better than the FPS. It looks good and plays well.

not as bad as people who are fans of Doom 3.

Look at those faces. The sunken cheeks, the squinting eyes, the pouting fish lips. It makes me laugh every time.

Doom 3 was a polished, playable game not full of escorting bugged out AI that cause the game to fail when they die and had cutting edge graphics at the time. I'd rather replay Doom 3 than Daikatana.
