What's the Hexen + Heretic games like? Look like a supernatural Doom? Looks fun. For $2.49 I'll probably bite.

The Doom games make me motion sick as well. Does any one know why this happens?

As I said last page, differences in modern monitors may be to blame for people who didn't experience motion sickness back in the day but do now.

Sort of. From what I remember, it wasn't really level based, but different areas that you traversed back and forth whilst finding keys to progress farther. Guess that's like a really big level of Doom? Also remember getting stuck and not remember where to go often, but maybe that was because I was a child.

It was class based game. There was a long distance mage and melee range fighter, and I forget what the third class was.

Couldn't really tell you about Heretic or Hexen II though.

From what I remember playing Hexen all of those years ago, that pretty much describes it...

Yeah, it isn't a horrible game. It's an above average shooter, I'd say. It just isn't as good (I called it excellent) as RTCW.

I am really tempted to get the Doom Complete Pack, but I guess I may pass on this deal and wait for Doom 3 BFG instead.

Kay I'll pick it up then. I recall Return to Castle Wolfenstien being a beloved game. Plus there is a unoffical patch that adds widescreen and other improvements according to the fourms so

For being a cute little game it's pretty difficult. The sad thing is is that I'm playing on easy mode. I use the pause button a lot. Doing that helps slow everything down. I went in expecting a relaxing fun little match game with a cute story, not the case. I was raging last night playing Legend of Fae.

Sidenote: The worst is when the screen pulls me up to the action screen to inform me it's raining then I have to click the match screen again. Don't waste my time to tell me it's raining- I have eyes!

I thought the new Wolfenstein was alright, not above average and not terrible, but an ok game.

Hexen was the second pc game I ever played on our home computer as a child of eleven or twelve. I played it a bunch and really liked it at the time. It is like Doom except you can pick from three classes and there is a hub with some smaller maps connected to it that you have to travel between to complete the level. It was easy for me to get lost back when I played it but then I just enabled cheats and screwed around. If you really want to play an old school game I would recommend it but both the gameplay and graphics are very dated at this point.

Oh lordie... I'm so tempted by this since I kind of want to try this game... I do have a bad backlog, but that's not a terrible price. What do?

Looks alright. Does anyone have anything else to add on the game to help me decide whether to get it or not? :P

Wow thanks for that save. I was on the brink of just buying it, but I have no problem waiting till Christmas for it. It should be in the winter sale.

To be more specific. hal's Wolfenstein review:

Poor-------Average-------Excellent
Wolfenstein--------^

At $1.24, I'm wondering if I should grab the Commander Keen pack. I recall having one of the shareware episodes back in the day, but, sadly, I don't remember much else.

A penny saved is a penny ready for a different game deal. Is Commander Keen worth 124 pennies?

EDIT:

Dude, I'm totally having the same problem. Many people simply didn't enjoy the game, while others support it heavily; Feedback is very mixed. Plus, I really do like the idea of having a meaty JRPG on my PC.

If nothing else, I'm just glad I have 11 hours to decide.

Heretic is ok. IIRC, it had multi-floors, which Doom didn't have. I remember liking the crossbow.

Hexen was fun in co-op, but the deathmatch was pretty crappy.

Does RTCW have an active online community still?

I got an additional dilemma for myself - Darksiders is currently $4.98 at GMG. (Steamworks, of course.) Using "PCGMR-ALLIN-GREEN" as the coupon code, it's $3.74.

Now, I don't have a GMG account. Would I be able to stack that coupon code with the $2 credit one gets by signing up with a CAG's referral? (A few CAG's have that $2 thing in their signatures.)

If it's a "Yes," I'll sign up for GMG using the $2 link that the next CAG provides, thus giving that person an extra $2 too.

Why not just try it and see if it stacks? You can always back out if it won't allow you to apply the credit. In my experience with GMG, trade-ins, credits, and coupons all stack (though you can't always stack two coupons)

In terms of sequels within franchises with previously excellent games, Wolfenstein is a masterpiece when compared to Duke Nukem Forever (Which I just beat.........).

I'm considering getting Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, but I can't decide if I should get it for PS3 (as I did War for Cybertron) or PC.

Anyone have WfC for PC and how it compared to the console versions or what to expect with FoC for PC?
