played through DOOM yesterday, and I'm halfway through Quake today.

I've never played Goldeneye CAMPAIGN before. I don't think I ever beat Facility, I just played multiplayer. That's coming up next.

Then DOOM 2.

If I complete all this, I'll reward myself with $10 and buy Quake 2 on steam for the new RTX thing.

how are you celebrating this official weekend?

Its so good. The dude who made it actually grew up in Communist Czechoslovakia so he has all kinds of little references to that time period.

He also made it in Pascal so it feels modern and primitive at the same time.

Just a heads up - the Quake II remaster doesn't have any native RTX features. There's a port of the original Quake II, Quake II RTX, which uses the game's base assets to just touch up the lighting and some textures.

It also shits on the railgun's perfect design.

Been playing through prodeus before I cancel gamepass. There are a lot of really good "retro" shooters

Dread templar
Warlock
Dusk
Nightmare reaper
Cruelty squad which is more than a shooter and super trippy

I could beat Doom, but gave up at Doom 2. The level design started becoming gimmicky and never let up.

might want to give doom 2 another try after you play doom a few times.

edit: quake is much more like doom 1 than doom 2, (except it's 3d)

Granted it been many many years but..... isn't there a never ending spawning of new enemies during the whole fight? You can't just clear the room. Everytime you kill an enemy, a new one spawns

Hrot is good but it feels like it's lacking something. I hate that there's no headshots.

I liked Dusk a lot more, even Ion Fury.

Now the hands down best recent boomer shooters is Cultic, feels like a spiritual successor to Blood. The tactical gameplay that centers around good well placed headshots is amazeballs.

you're not supposed to fight them, just send 3 rockets into the TV on the boss's head

You are on your way to Touhou.

...It is gone, the thing I was going to share is gone. I am angry and want to drive angry. They did nothing wrong, and are erased with their celtic style remixes of touhou things. I do note abide. But lets imagine I do, Initial D style. I give this song instead. Before I got get angry online for a couple deka-minutes and then watch anime.

Dusk, Amid Evil, Ultra kill are all amazing and you can get them in a bundle on sale quite often

I especially liked Dusk, it's a lot like Quake

Also Cultic is a really nice spiritual successor to Blood, which itself is also great

You making sure you shoot all of the latches on the door? It should fall out once you cut them all.

and i got the hatch open

but Goldeneye is kind of a drag...so i just switched to Quake 2. Now I'm lost in the supply stations. Killed all enemies, got the power cubes, can't find my way out of here.
