Its a pretty dogshit game. I can see why its not popular. If the pc version is at all alike. I thought it might be good. Cause its presented as a good but forgotten game. But i can see why its forgotten

the pc version is kind of a mixed bag for as big of a cult classic it is. It's got a great, fun aesthetic, it's all around of a higher quality than the bond games of the time(not saying a lot), has some decent gunplay, but the AI is weirdly robotic and it constantly tries to encourage you to use a stealth system that's trash.

It was released during a time when tongue-in-cheek spy movies were still popular.

I dont know where to download the pc port and this was like 800 mbs. So it downloaded pretty fast and runs really well on pcsx2. Googled the pc port but it was like some shady sites. I also checked the doom threads mega links. I didnt see it either so i downloaded the ps2 version

Ahh that makes sense. Austin powers was pretty popular back then. Pierce brosnan bond. Thanksgiving bond marathons.

Ahh maybe i should try this stealth mechanic. I was just kinda blowing through the game just shooting everyone. Ill mess around more with the game later

IIRC the stealth might be even worse on PS2. Never played it in PC but on PS2 I remember having to start and stop movement a lot since you technically couldn't just move slow enough to remain undetected. It's bizarre.

Yeah, I think this is my biggest issue with it. It's very schizofrenic whether it wants to be a stealth game or not. Kate is too squishy to just go in guns blazing and pretty much dies to a sneeze, but the stealth system is the most basic, broken shit, where if you are spotted by one guy, you have the entire army on your ass. And then the game gives you gadgets tharlt are supposed to help you in stealth, but most of the time, they are useless. It's a weird design.

Monolith had a rough transition to actual 3D

> actual 3D

Now explain to me why Blood isn't "actual" 3D. You can't because you're just repeating words without thinking what they mean. Blood has X, Y, Z axis, all of which are extensively used in both gameplay and level design. That is the very definition of 3D.

it's a cult classic for the humor and era. Shit, there's a whole thread on /vr/ right now about muh early 2000s aesthetic and this game just nails it in it's own way. The actual shooting mechanics and weapons had no gimmicks and were solid with plenty of interactive stuff, gadgets, and different atmosphere between levels It's really peak FPS not taking it's self too seriously.
it sits nicely between Quake II/Half life world we were all living in and before the dominance of party shooters (halo), and gridmark muh military shooters (COD)

Never played the PS2 version but the PC version was recently repackaged and re-released for modern OSes and worth the playthrough if you know anything about early 2000s pop culture. Why you would emulate the ps2 version?
