[QUOTE=ironman17;51189211]You know, in this post-DNF era we live in, I think it's probably safe to say that Lo Wang is on track to take the throne from Duke.
I mean, who WOULDN'T want some Wang?[/QUOTE]
Shadow Warrior reboot was way better than Duke Nukem Forever, so honestly he already has. The lengths Duke's fallen are practically a meme all of its own at this point.

True. And even with the risk of flow-breaking that might come from the loot system in Shadow Warrior 2, I'm still of the mind that it'll still be a good game. Probably better than Borderlands 2 at any rate.

It seems like the way the random loot works for SW2 is that it's upgrade pieces you put in your weapon, all the weapons are set specific stats.

I wouldn't go that far. Gggman is more of a normal consumer who usually doesn't look into the drama of all this shit, so he's just a guy reviewing the game upfront.
Generally it seems he likes it for what it is, especially the new episode despite a balls hard difficulty, but he does bring up the price and the lack of expansions. He also does mention that while the aiming isn't jittery like Megaton, the movement and autoaim feel off for him.
Just because a game is made by someone you dislike, doesn't mean it's terrible.
Though there are legit grievances with this one.
Well, I've got good news and bad news:
[B]The good news: [/B]
All the files are there. [del]Yes, the old atomic edition GRP has been left alone. [/del] Eh, almost. According to Hendricks from Duke4, some trademarks have been removed from the art files, so it's pretty much like BFG edition Doom.
The old lines are also still there in a separate folder, as well as the old midi music. The new stuff is also easily accessible.
The bazinga line I'm pretty sure is a one-time occurence, probably because one area resembles the show, or maybe you stumble upon their corpses. In any case, it's grouped together with other references, like Riddick, Rambo, Predator and other movies and shows.
[B]The bad news: [/B]The game crashes immediately upon launch. RIP
(but I guess the intro is pretty nice)
[editline]12th October 2016[/editline]
Well, it looks like the crashing stopped.
The sound quality is still really bad, but we now know the reason for it:
They've all been converted to .ogg format, obviously with very wrong settings. Fixing this yourself should be really easy though since it draws all the sounds from a separate folder.
[del]I guess you could even replace the new duke lines this way.[/del]
I'm dumb, you can just toggle the old duke voice.

Okay last time I'll be posting for now.
I don't know what kind of mouse settings this guy is using, but the aiming is so ungodly awful on my end that I'm actually forced to play like the Shacknews guy.
I actually feel bad for him now. The Shacknews guy, I mean.
I got the new edition of Duke and yeah, the audio is super bad. I'm considering refunding it, since it's a blatantly inferior product when compared to Megaton Edition or even eDuke32.
I'll give Gearbox a few days to sort out the audio issues. If they don't, I'm refunding it.

might be tangental to this thread, but I'm really enjoying the new shadow warrior
Started a new playthrough of Hacx since I lost my progress a while ago.
I forgot how (maybe spoiler?) [sp] the first cyberspace map[/sp] looks like [sp]a 3D embodiment of a Geocities page[/sp]
Also even if it's a glorified super shotgun, I really like the Cryogun. It's Predator af, especially with the crosshair it has.

It's strange how there seems to be more discussion about the Duke re-release than there is about Shadow Warrior 2.
Why does Lo Wang always get ignored?
i'm downloading it very slowly as we speak, although maybe this was not my best choice of impulse purchase
[QUOTE=Xubs;51201083]people just can't handle the Wang[/QUOTE]
It's fun as shit, but was hardly advertised aside from couple of the usual venues and it's not exactly an AAA SKU to begin with.

Because there is no drama around it. It is a well made game, polished, runs great, even the developers and the publisher are cool... really nothing "interesting" to write about.
Well it took me forever for no good reason besides procrastination, but I finally beat Doom 4.
Maybe it's just because i'm on Hurt Me Plenty rather than Ultra-Violence, but while all the end game bosses ate up my armor real fast, I only died to the Cyberdemon once. Otherwise I surprisingly held my own against everything else without too much issue, although the Rune that gives you infinite ammo with high enough armor is really easy to cheese.
I have a bunch of challenges in the later half of the game unfinished, one missing collectible and one missing rune, and a bunch of secrets I missed (in no due part due to those fucking 'point of no return' situations), but I got every Classic Map I think. It's fun to tear your way through the game, but going back for these is gonna be a pain in the ass.
If you're not playing on Ultra-Violence then you're doing it wrong.
The hardest part was train to AI chamber. It's the only place in the game where I got killed - repeatedly I might add. Other than that DooM4 was a breeze and I don't mean it in bad way, difficulty was almost perfectly balanced (again, anything lower than UV is wrong, too easy and unbalanced) - if you are doing everything right (i.e. circle strafe and dodge) nothing can hit you. And you have to stay "in the zone" otherwise it's almost instant death.
[QUOTE=AntonioR;51201286]Because there is no drama around it. It is a well made game, polished, runs great, even the developers and the publisher are cool... really nothing "interesting" to write about.[/QUOTE]
Because Devolver doesn't pay websites and "journalists" to write about their published games. They don't need to do it.
well great job
it seems i can't start up shadow warrior 2 without it immediately crashing, and this isn't an uncommon problem for windows 10 users
[editline]14th October 2016[/editline]
so following a dev's methods of trying to fix this problem, also involving verifying the game cache integrity, is now installing 7.1GB, half of the game's overall size

Shadow Warrior 2 is fuckin' awesome. Just wish I had a better PC so I can have the settings higher. I am on low-medium with a 75% resolution :v:

Huh, that's odd. Both my friend and I are on win 10 and didn't have any issues with crashing or anything like that.
Guess we just got lucky
I'll probably start playing once we hit the weekend. I've got some other stuff on my plate in the meantime.
I've been recently playing the original 1997 Shadow Warrior. That game doesn't fuck around at all, but I really like the weapons and all of the levels have been a lot of fun so far, some of the ninja gadgets don't seem very useful though.
The sword is rad as hell too.

katana swinging class confirmed for gmota

Found out Q3BSP supports sky portals for HL2 style skyboxes, and Darkplaces supports Q3BSP so i did a test

I'm not using the katana. But I might be using some resources from shadow warrior in this coming update. You guys will have to see when I finally finish the damn thing
