Yeah, I remember Stalkers from Hexen. Sadly, I haven't played any of the God of War games... the "latest" games I played at all were Ion Fury and Wrath: Aeon of Ruin. My Potato Computer is a potato.

Morphing into Gill Beasts after death souns like a cool idea!

Dead Reckoner, thank you! :) Sorry for me answering two months late... but better late than never. :oops: Yes, maybe leaning too much into arcade shooter territory wasn't such a good idea - Doom 2016 is not everyone's cup of tea. Speaking of setting... yeah, venturing deep into Wild West territory w...

About Quake: Yeah, agreed, quakespasm is the way to go for AD (played it a few months back. Still reeling! AD is to quake what Deathwish is to Blood)

Thanks, I'm gonna give it a try...

I've never tried getting drunk or doing drugs. Is it even worth it?

For me, story is everything. Even if it is left up to imagination (such as blood) to fill in all the blanks. In fact filling in blanks is what galvanizes the imagination, non? Well, sometimes more is less - Monolith decided to add more story in Blood 2, and it didn't turn out to be good. :) I get t...

Back in 2020, I first started playing Blood on an inherited win 98 rig. It blew me away and brought back PTSD memories seeing my uncle playing it in 1999 when I was 4. Interesting, I was also introduced by my uncle to Blood in 1999 at the age of 4 or 5. It may be the best age to start playing Blood...

Hey. I've been kinda isolating myself from the big world around me... so, I'm mostly OK. Doing some table-top RPG stuff, tried writing a post "What if Quake had plot" on r/quake, had been booed by Quake fans... well, I'm mostly fine.

In fact, I was thinking for different music styles for each episode... would it be too dumb if Caleb's episode had something sounding like Ennio Morricone or other classical western stuff (maybe changing to electric guitar arrangement when combat starts)? :D Well, changing to something more dark whe...

Wow, thanks for the detailed response! :D Yes, I agree, maybe I was delving too deep into arcade territory, and the game I described would, in some ways, not be Blood as we remember it. :| I've never understood the appeal of pre-rendered animations that disrupt gameplay flow. I read a story from a g...

Tere! Gawsh I hate the fire doggos :lol: More than the crawling hands? ;) Are non-secular Estonians Catholic btw? I don't have statistics, but I assume that many are Lutheran, and there's a large Russian diaspora there, so there's quite a lot of Eastern Orthodox people. But Estonia have been Catholi...

Are there Blood- worthy Cathedrals there? Pick your fav. :) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/Iglesia_Estonia_Evang%C3%A9lica_Luterana%2C_Tallinn%2C_Estonia%2C_2012-08-05%2C_DD_04.JPG/330px-Iglesia_Estonia_Evang%C3%A9lica_Luterana%2C_Tallinn%2C_Estonia%2C_2012-08-05%2C_DD_04...

I hear that the 1990s were bleak times in the former USSR. Less bleak when you're a kid, you're introduced to videogames like Warcraft 2, and your parents take care of most of your problems. :) To make things even more sucky: Getting a non -Caleb sounding voice in Blood. The voice acting is CENTRAL...

Oh, that was long ago, back in 90s. :) These days it was super hard to get a non-pirated verison of any videogame in the former USSR, and the version we (me and my big brother) played was... well, it was an unlicensed, unprofessional localization, and the man who voiced Caleb sounded NOTHING like St...

I'm a big fan of Hexen/Heretic series. It's a shame we'll probably never see another game in the series. :( (Or was defeating the last of the Serpent Riders in Hexen 2 the grand finale?) Graven is said to be the spiritual successor to Hexen, but, apparently, it won't run on my computer. :( Currently...

You now see things through a glass, darkly,

That's how depression works. Thankfully, I feel like recovering... at least temporarily. Thank you for your support.

Let's discuss Blood/other games?
