What do you think of Painkiller?

Sat May 15, 2004 3:19 am by Esquilax

Well the subject line says it all

. I picked it up today, and it is as I expected; an "old skool" FPS with little to no plot, in which you run around and kill anything that moves. Ah, it takes me back to the good old days of "Doom", "Quake", "Catacombs", and "Wolfenstein"; those were the days!

The graphics are quite good, but the physics engine IS very impressive. It interesting that I'm running it at 1280x960 with everything on their maximum detail settings, and it works perfectly. I love my OC'd Radeon 9700!

I played the demo and thought the game engine was suberb (runs great, looks great), but the game itself was a piece of nonsensical claptrap.

painkillers are good if you have a headache

most of the classic shooters had really bad storylies, but that wasn't the draw back then like it is now. i must admit, i do miss the frantic blasting in duke3d and doom. but then i see unreal. and then all is good.

If it is mindless killing you want, then pick up a copy of Postal 2 (Share the Pain) if it is not banned in your country

(Of course I have the game at home...)

Serious Sam Gold is available now for somewhere between £5 and £10. That's both Serious Sams, the first and second encounters.
It's incredibly mindless and throws crap loads of monsters at you at the same time. It's also got a split screen mode so if one player is prepared to make do with keyboard control only it's even more fun. There are the usual frag matches (using cannons and making a smear mark out of your opponent is hilarious

) but you can also play co-operatively through the entire game. The frag matches themselves are also very interesting with player activated traps and strange gravity fields.

We have a painkiler called "Analgin" - go figure

On topic: heard of it, a friend of mine has it, planning to borrow to see what it's all about. Some mindless killing games are good for letting out steam; however, for me it works only if you kill humans rather than some monsters.

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

Hockey is good for letting out steam

Sat May 15, 2004 10:42 am by H.Q. Victor

sw, if I did not know better, I would think you like hockey a little bit. OT, saw the game a few minuets ago, but the box art work did not intice me to much.
