Ten minutes of shooting a big bullet sponge in a box map.

Nah, I'm good. 

That's a great example of why programmers need artists and game-play designers. 

Can we just declare 'Hunters Moon' to be a spammer at this point? No one is interested in this shitty Q3 mod. 

The mix of nearly impossible to kill boss fights and nearly impossible to die vehicle missions was ridiculous. Some of the boss fights had so much stuff going on that they became completely random, and the regenerating health in the vehicle missions made those missions incredibly easy.

Also, the on-rails mission where we gotta destroy a lot of turrets while the vehicle incessantly shakes and turns around to make it impossible for us to aim made me just give up and enable god mode. That point gave me so much rage I'd like to strangle and punch the vehicle's driver and tell him to stop the vehicle so I can aim. In practice, our own driver was the real enemy in that mission.

Also the running speed is slower than Quake 1's walking speed, and the ending was poor. But at least the stroggfication scene was awesome.

Quake 4 would have been perfect if it wasn't for these problems. There's a lot of great stuff in the game. 

Already declared as a troll, but yeah has earnt spammer too. Mostly on the count of the gameplay videos being so dire that they are just as irrelevant to this forum as Gucci handbags and fake Rolexes... 

"Hunter's Moon is the fake Louis Vuitton handbag of mods - made by 12-year olds in a basement from stolen materials, it might look like a game from a distance but as soon as you put it under any sort of scrutiny it just falls apart at the seams." 

It's been years since I played it, but from what I remember I'd have to agree about the vehicle on rails levels. Probably the boss fights too. I probably went god-mode for those after a couple of attempts, but then I pretty much dislike all boss fights for being too tedious.

In between all that, I remember it as being pretty good. I still have it in my Games folder, maybe I should give it another play sometime. 

but I hated all the driving bullshit.

Wow. At first I thought the right hand side was the original. Good way to ensure I'll be saving �30 not touching it with a very long pole. 

They've made some very odd decisions with those graphics. The cryobeds are the strangest thing of all. The originals were flat textures that were clearly trying to represent some sort of tube/tunnel that you would lie down in, but it seems like the artist in the remake thought it was just supposed to be some sort of flat circular mesh/window thing? 

I'll stick to the original thank you!

Now I might be interested if someone remade System Shock 2 if maybe it vaguely looked like this fan made short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEQReLZJXJQ 

Like 2004 graphical quality with 1994 design quality??

Not a strong look in this day and age.

Wow. To try to remake the textures so accurately and then misinterpreting them so fundamentally is both hilarious and quite sad :/ 

It looks like a stained glass window in the original shots. 

I was looking for a video of the first level to show OTP that in context the idea that it's a stained glass window is ridiculous. I couldn't find a video that didn't also have the intro cutscene so I settle down to watch it, and it turns out it is some sort of stained-glassy-window-terminal thing afterall:

And then I broke the internet by admitting that I was wrong all along.

I still don't like the new graphics though. :P

A HD texture pack with neon lighting!

I hope they also reduce the amount of reading you have to do and add microtransactions so that you can pay a bit extra to skip the boring walking around and jump ahead to the action.

It's like the worst thing ever, but worse. 3rd person rocket arena with classes - I'd rather play a paint-drying sim. 

kinda reminds me of Gigantic. 

Paragon looks ok... but then again I said that about Doom 4 originally and look how thats turned out. 

The third person aspect really puts me off.
The visuals look pretty clean though, as usual.

Of all these new multiplayer MOBA games, Overwatch still seems like the best of the lot. 

Yes do look very nice. A good engine wasted, yet again.

The current MOBA / team-DM trend can suck my balls. Who is actually going to play all these things (OW, GG, BB etc)?? 

Considering I spent a couple hundred hours playing Team Fortress 2, I could definitely see myself getting into one of these if they are any good. Definitely want to take Overwatch for a spin for now, as it's FPS. 

Yeah, who is going to be playing more than one tho?? There seems to be a real glut of games that I'd expect players to be dedicated to just one of them....
