  1. Anime Your Unpopular Gaming Opinions

    I don't think it's true that FGs are struggling at the moment. Apparrently, Strive is the most successful GG Game as of yet, SF6 also seems quite healthy saleswise. And the PvP-Scene also seems quite healthy, according to at least https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG_nvPxHo9U

  2. Why no love for Warlords 3 Darklords Rising?

    At least on my PC the game runs just fine using WINE on Linux.

  3. Daedalic Silence: The Whispered World 2

    Dude has made a 8 Minute Video about adventure games without once using the word puzzle... The Video is grotesque in its idiocy.

  4. Blizzard Entertainment

    I played Warcraft some months ago in multiplayer. And yeah, the UI is not fun to use, but it works. But seeing that the UI is easily the worst aspect of Warcraft, a remake might be a very good Idea. It is certainly in greater need of a remake than some other games like Diablo.

  5. "Consoles are not responsible for the decline of the shooter"

    Then you haven't explored the level good enough. Ammo starvation can be a fun mechanic in Doom-style shooters and many custom wads are quite good on that front. If you wasted ammo and have to kill a cyberdemon with only a pistol you did something wrong and the game rightfully punishes you for...

  6. "Consoles are not responsible for the decline of the shooter"

    But you can use that custom hardware with existing games. As I just tested, gamepad + mouse works fine for doom. If it would be really superior to keyboard + mouse someone would just build a controller that has a stick and enough keys to use together with a mouse and would break all the...

  7. "Consoles are not responsible for the decline of the shooter"

    At least doom allows analog movement. Other games probably do too. So, why isn't it done? Edit: Out of curiosity I just tried playing with a gamepad in the left hand and the mouse in the right hand: It is just horrible.

  8. "Consoles are not responsible for the decline of the shooter"

    Well then come up with examples of people using one stick + mouse. If it's so great there has to be controllers implementing something like that. You won't find any. Edit: Basically what Manatee said.

  9. "Consoles are not responsible for the decline of the shooter"

    If WASD is so shit compared to dual analog sticks there must be tons of competetive players (multiplayer and singleplayer (speedruns)) that use gamepads instead of Keyboard + Mouse. I'm sure you will now post some videos of those.

  10. RTS Replaying Warcraft III

    I do think you underestimate the power of bloodlust. Before you can cast slow/heal etc. your army is already dead. There's a reason almost everyone just plays Orc.

  11. KickStarter BLACKROOM, an oldschool FPS from John Romero and Adrian Carmack - Kickstarter cancelled!

    Well, the pitch is quite bad. But Romero is one of the few people whom I trust to at least try to make a good FPS. But no linux support? That's just unbackable for me.

  12. The New DOOM Thread (2016)

    Wrong. Original Doom multiplayer is quite simple, but fast and fun. I enjoy it more than any of the Quake games or any other Multiplayershooter. And if you add CTF to it, you arrive at one of the best team-based FPS.

  13. The New DOOM Thread (2016)

    Is that the same "logical conclusion" that turned this rather promising genre into the pile of shit it is today?

  14. Is the state of gaming really as bad as people claim?

    Silent Storm had pretty good destructible Environments. I don't know if that tactical game is strategic enough to count for you, but it really benefited from the 3D engine in that respect.

  15. RTS ID a rts for me please

    It might also be Strifeshadow: Fantasy, 3 Races, 2D Graphics.
