Shadow Warrior 2

It's even worse than that. A sassy strong woman shrieks over the radio the entire time you play cracking gearbox burch-style humor and one liners. In fact the characters never shut up. It's absolutely revolting to see this much disrespect to such a classic game.

shadow warrior build was never that great of a game compared to its contemporaries. calling it a classic is way overshooting. I don't care about the stupid story shit they're doing in this game. There's a much more interesting conversation to be had with how the game is completely disposing of level design.

One of the few good things about NMS is the music.

Ok

I didnt mean the Build Engine OG nigger, you know this.

Back when the first reboot came out there was this one guy that shitposted EVERY thread about the game because he worshipped the original.

He was completely alone in this because the original isn't considered a masterpiece or a classic by any stretch of the imagination.
But good luck dealing with him, i'm sure you're gonna see him shitposting around once again when this comes out.

Stupid bullshit that has nothing to do with the game, I read this and it's like reading "call of duty fuck ops 4 to feature skrillex!!", it calls back to the same judgement everyone made on such cynical marketing stunts by AAA studios nearly ten years ago.

I hate the headache-inducing visuals, the gearbox-tier writing, humor and characters, the lack of level design, shallow dps race shootan making weapon diversity meaningless. And most of all I hate devolver digital.

Ok

Shadow Warrior is a classic game and the first remake was shit. This looks to be even worse.

compared to many other major shooters from the time it's kinda shit

It's better than most of them.

Reebot was good though
shouldnt be fucking called Shadow Warrior though

Reboot was shit and this is a shill thread.

Fuck you Develover, you know my one weakness, I don't care how shitty your game our it's soundtrack is, I'm a vinyl collecterfag that just has to have all these shiny LPs that I'll never play

Kill me anons

There's plenty of vinyl you could collect that's either good music, or vinyl that give you hipster cred, why the fuck would you buy big fat physical soundtracks for games you don't even like?

Aside from the Berseker enemy type it was pretty good unlike NuDoom
You should probably try it out before shitting on it.
Pirate it fag, see if I care

soundcloud.com/devolverdigital/warrior-final-mix-7

Fuck man, I need it

Devolver employees.

If there are no cheesy synth heavy vocal tracks like Far Cry 3: BD then its shit.

All me

Maybe during the Cyberpunk sequences?

That looks absolutely horrible.

I was expecting something slightly better than Shadow Warrior 1, this looks like a downgrade on all levels.

Because I hate myself user, I thought that was pretty obvious by my post

>TFW I spent literally weeks reasearching to try and find the vinyl pressing of the Nazi pop songs from the new wolfenstein game and embarrassingly and unsucessfully tried to convince some guy on discogs to try and sell it to me

oh make no mistake user, I have no delusions about how horrible this game is going to be, but my vinyl collecterfag autism won't let me pass up buying overpriced LPs with shitty soundtracks for shitty games. Don't let some far long gone /mu/ faggot hold the rest of you back from calling it out for the shit that it is

Any other music dedicated threads user?

There's a vaporwave thread still semi-active on /mu/ but thats really about it, tried to talk about the newly released Bowie stuff, but there seems to be literally no one there to talk about it, much less to care about talking about it.

Fuck man, it hurts

I really want that too. Id even take a cassette

blood-music.bandcamp.com/album/behemoth

Aw, I was hoping it would be the song from the first Shadow Warrior 2 trailer. I've been looking for that one since it came out.

Are you fucking serious?

Yes. I never actually liked 'you got the touch.' I thought the TF's movie theme and Dare to be Stupid were much better songs.

Are you serious?

There's no point to owning it on vinyl because it was recorded digitally you fucking plebs.

...

All I see in this threads are "The Reboot sucked" and I never see people explaining why.
I have the old one and the remake and enjoyed them both.

The old one is fast as fuck, particulary after you learn the level layout I've finished it 7 or 8 times now, but this thread is giving me the itch to have another go

The remake is just as good but in other directions. I liked how the dodge worked and nearly all guns felt like they had an impact.
I also prefer the new Lo-Wang. Less "Master Roshi", more "Marcellus Wallace" kind of guy.
Not to say the original Lo-Wang wasn't great even if I missed some of the jokes since I'm not american but the new one is a diferent kind.
The only bad thing I can point to the remake are the bosses. Those were terrible when put next to the original. They don't even feel threatening as soon as you figure out the pattern, which takes 10 seconds. And the fact you can't use your sword on them save for the last one forced the ammo-spawns.
In the original you had to somewhat conserve ammo before a boss fight, or mellee that fucker like a true Shadow Warrior.

Shadow Warrior in general fucking blows serious ass when compared to the other build games like Blood, DN3D and Redneck Rampage
You could argue DN3D and Redneck Rampage is a more advanced build of the build engine but in comparison with Blood that released on the same year as Shadow Warrior, It barely holds a candle. I can agree to one thing that is Shadow Warrior is that the aesthetics, atmosphere and the idea of being a chink dual-wielding uzis blasting away enemies is cool.

Then you get Shadow Warrior 2013 that blows more ass like no tomorrow, the OST doesn't capture the original, along with the obvious complaints that the gunplay sucks while the sword is pretty good but the sheer force of how terrible in each design of the game down to the difficulty, enemies and level layout along with the stupid upgrade system that no one asked for, it's no clear idea why people compare 2013 as a true sucker to the Original.

So far it looks like another shitty console FPS trying to look oldschool

When will devs learn, you first make this shit exclusive to PC and then you leave the PC version the fuck alone and dumb down the consoleshit version.

All im seeing are colossal retards making FPS game that are multiplatfrom from the core, aka shit.

Yearly reminder this sweet music is the sole reward for finishing the game. But is it worth it?

First person melee games suffers from the same flaws as first person platforming. It is difficult to measure up distances, and time movements\dodges, without peripheral vision and self cognition.

And just like that, it's a mechanic better used sparsely for situational combat and specific sequences.

I am really hopeful that they will manage to make the borderlands game we deserve after the abomination that was 2. If it is anything like Hard Reset and SW, we most likely won't get any sort of health or level scaling to completely fuck everything up like BL2's 2-shot player kills, ten minute basic enemy kills, and weapons being completely useless if you level. HR's health and armor only went up to 120 each and SW health up to 170, so there's good reason to believe everything will be scaled around classic FPS health values rather than WoW-styled 200m HPs

Not even that, the only oldschool about this reboot are devs words how their shitty FPS games are oldschool. Even Lo Wang became pussy, although the original game was hardly racist/sexist/pick your favorite buzzword.

IIRC the first game was PC exclusive and then was ported to consoles. It's just the devs are shit, they have no good designers who could handle level design, neither they have programmers who could add shitton of interactivity and great gunplay on top of that. Besides good level design, original has great amount of various features and I think it's still more advanced unlike reboot. This reboot is just bland and looks like shitty Asian Hard Reset spin-off, they couldn't do right even music. The only good thing about this shit are weapons.

What a good little consumer bitch

By who? It's not more "popular" because it was far more obscure than the others. Has absolutely nothing to do with quality, but I'm sure you will continue to pretend otherwise.

It's a damn good song, too.

How does that look oldschool?
How does it even seem like they're trying to be oldschool? It's a contemporary shitfest.
Play more videogames before you make yourself look like a retard.

...

I played it when it was released and didn't think it was that great outside of the general setting and resources it provided for making my own maps. The vehicles and voxels were impressive until I played Blood. Played it recently after replaying Duke and still didn't like it as much. It isn't bad, but it was certainly on the weaker side of build engine games.

Confirmed only exposure to these games is from what he heard other people say on imageboards.

Get your own gaming history, poser boy.

Shadow Warrior came out the year after Quake 1, by then the Build games looked incredibly dated. You were either in it for the humour, or because your pc couldn't handle Quake: I got it from a Twilight pirate cd, or otherwise I would have never bothered with it.

overall it has some cool swordplay, art direction and story, which is this game's only saving grace from being another Painkiller clone, but the level design in Shadow Warrior isn't just bad, it flat out wouldn't make any difference. Even if SW copied the levels of Doom and placed the enemies of nuSW there, the combat would still play out the same. That's why I think the randomly generated levels will barely impact the game at all

You must have only saw the videos after they slapped in the horrible console UI and memelands rpg bullshit.
I dont make fun of disabled persons like you tough

So what? When I buy a new game, I want a NEW game. Not the previous one with upscaled graphics.
Those are called HD remasters and suck ass.
I'll heartly disagree. The Uzis were even better, and so was the revolver.
The upgrade system is pointless though, I'll give you that.

I agree with your opinion, though I'd like to add that you can use your shuriken to deal with aerial foes while using the katana.
Despite looking rather flimsy, they pack quite a punch and slightly home in on enemies.
I think comparisons to the old Wang - and Shadow Warrior - are out of place. As you've said, he's more of a cocky nerdlord (Hoji, upon seeing his framed comics in his hideout: "Where do you keep your porn?" Wang: "This is my porn."), and connections to the first title are limited to the names and there being a first-person melee system, and that doesn't bother me, since the first one is somewhat mediocre.
Shadow Warrior 2013 to me is at most a proof of concept, for the franchise (aesthetically and thematically) on the one hand, and the melee combat on the other, and regarding these points, I've been convinced, so I'm expecting SW2 to be to SW 2013 what ZoE2 was to ZoE.

...

Try me fucker. I'll reload my Ak 47 with a 9mm clip.

Now hold on just a minute.

Did he fire five ?

...

Holy fuck, it's real.

But that's a magazine, not a clip.

And you're a meme, not a dip.

Shit that right, forgot about that detail
No clip fed AKs that I know of
So I guess its fucked

>>>/reddit/

And you're fucking dead, kiddo.

You could probably nigger-rig a clip fed pistol to look like pic related, but I don't see why you would.

Why WOULDN'T you?

Blackstar was good. I honestly liked it more than any of his other shit from the last 20 years.

You'd probably disfigure a historical piece for one.

Bleach had good soundtrack. Soundtrack quality is not tied to quality of a product it is in.

Just listen to it, it is good. It is just quite silly to be proud about NMS.

Only problem I encountered were:

It was gory it was fun to shoot stuff. Story was quite cool bromance. It was solid game.

I'm going to play SW2 because everything else coming out right now is complete shit on first glance. SW2 at least attempts to look good so I'm giving it a chance.

Before I laugh about what you just said, I'll remind you that the Bleach sound track has 3 "iconic" musics that play over and over again throught out the series, and 4 or 5 "ambient" tracks that are not memorable in anyway.

Then there's the intros, but only people who like a series actually listen to the intro more than once.
Tell me you liked Bleach. I'll laugh even harder.

...

All he said was that it had a good soundtrack, learn to read

I really liked the reboot.
Switching between the sword and guns was fun and kept the moment to moment gameplay fresh. The worst parts were the miniboss fights with those fuckers that were immune to everything except the rocket launcher, which felt like shit. The level design was also shit so the procedural enviornments can only be an improvement, and it looks like they're implementing verticality.

Come to think of it SW might have the best first person melee in all vidya. Plus the MP7A1 is my raifu.

your waifu is shit

Indeed
MP5 still a best

lmao they couldn't even get hit frames right. Holy shit, you STOP on that frame, you don't fucking keep calculating damage several times in a swipe, that's not how it works you fucking idiots.

How bad are these designers?

I like the look of some of these new weapons. The chainsword in particular is great. The whole military/demon/scifi split is also neat.

How could a game that styles itself around katanas so much have such shitty melee combat?
