Maybe the spammers just hate "other PC games". I can understand that, Quake is the one true game after all. But is this really the best way to take out their anger at this thread's existence? really? 

 

 

 

 

Got Devil Daggers via Humble Bundle. Kinda addictive, I like the design and the gameplay is exactly what I expected from how it was advertised. I can see why people would want "proper levels" but criticizing the game for not being a level-based FPS is a little like criticizing a bullet hell game for not being an open world space combat sim. Difficulty ramps up pretty quickly but I think it works in the game's favor. It remains to be seen how much staying power it will have for me (particularly considering I'm not a competitive gamer at all) but I recommend it if you don't expect the game to be something it's not. 

Wow, I just took a peek at the specs, they're insane for a 20-year-old game! Is the HRP included or what?! 

I've been playing a bit of devil daggers lately too. It almost does have levels, in the sense that there's no RNG in the game. Spawners etc. show up at the same time every time you play. Despite knowing this and working on ways to beat them, I still only ever seem to make it to about a minute or less a life :( 

I doubt HRP is included, which is fine by me :] 

It's not unusual for enhanced editions to use community content, some modders have even worked on the games. I'm just wondering what they did to Duke to have those specs. 

The specs are pretty high...

On a possibly related note: Does AO and bloom really make the gfx more palatable? They did this with strife, too. I find it strange. 

"On a possibly related note: Does AO and bloom really make the gfx more palatable?"

Au contraire. Bad taste. 

I don't generally like bloom. It has to be VERY subtle.
