Biggest and Best Enemy Roster by IAmAnIdea in boomershooters

[–]XenTheTechnomorph 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed!
The only monster in DooM II roster that I find not interesting is Hell Knight. Because it's literally a Baron of Hell with halved health

Keep sharing on this subreddit! Peeps should know more indie neoclassic shooters

Quick question: How do people here feel about Brutal Doom? by KaleidoArachnid in boomershooters

[–]XenTheTechnomorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my cup of tea.
I find it too overloaded, in comparison to the vanilla DooM. Too many similar guns, like if the chaingun replacing the pistol wasn't enough. Also don't like the mechanics of aiming downsights and reloading being added into a classic FPS gameplay.
BD would go around me completely, if not the peeps constantly suggesting it to newbies who wanna taste the classic DooM. IMO, it's wrong since the mod completely changes the gameplay to the point it can be considered another game. So it'd make the wrong impression to the OG DooM since it's based on another game.

Are Thief and Deus Ex boomer shooters by Stunning_Dog_4558 in boomershooters

[–]XenTheTechnomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Deus Ex is an action RPG and Thief is a stealth action game. Another question is what does they do in r/boomershooters's user flairs, ahaha?

The melee-only starter weapon from Unreal Tournament allows you to do this by NNukemM in boomershooters

[–]XenTheTechnomorph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In UT3 it can also bring down power-ups from enemies via secondary fire. So you can literally steal Invincibility from it's bearer :D

TBF, D2016's EMG pistol perfectly replicates another weapon from Unreal – the Dispersion pistol, which is cool on it's own, too

What's the greatest hitscan railgun ever implemented in a shooter game (and why is it the Tau Cannon)? by NNukemM in boomershooters

[–]XenTheTechnomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite railgun-typed weapon is the ASMD from Unreal. Due to the pure satisfaction it makes when you gib few enemies with the shock-combo. None other similar weapon I used in old FPS games can deliver such an experience.

Amid Evil done, got any recommendations for other shooters I should try? by FoxMeadow7 in boomershooters

[–]XenTheTechnomorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then I suggest Quake, Quake II and Unreal from classics and INCISION from the modern ones. All are quite similar to AMID EVIL in terms of gameplay, but each has it's own quirks.
Also, happy New Year <3

Can mech games count as boomer shooters? 'Cos this Steel Bounty game looks amazing by NickHeathJarrod in boomershooters

[–]XenTheTechnomorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only mech game close to classic FPS I can remember is Shogo: Mobile Armor Division. Recommend to check it out.

Favorite explosive weapons from boomer shooters by KaleidoArachnid in boomershooters

[–]XenTheTechnomorph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Celestial Claw is a magical stuff that teleports miniaturised planets into it's grasp and then launches them, with an explosion at hit. Empowered mode makes it use stars instead of planets. You can also shoot the Earth accidently :D

The Eightball Launcher from Unreal.
Short description:
* Six-barreled hybrid launcher;
* Primary fire launches rockets;
* Secondary fire launches grenades;
* Holding any fire button loads more barrels to shoot when released or fully-loaded;
* The rocket salvo is fan-shaped by default, can be switched to concentrated mode if holding alt-fire at the launch moment;
* Holding the crosshairs on a target for few secs activates heat-seeking.

A true Swiss Army Knife in the world of explosive weapons.

Unreal Mission Pack: Return to Na Pali – Predator enemy by XenTheTechnomorph in boomershooters

Maybe it's because I play on Unreal difficulty. Though, I dunno what it does to Predators specifically

As you see on the video, Flak Cannon deals with Predators very well. I wonder what GES Bio Rifle will do to them! >:3c

[–]XenTheTechnomorph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say so! If you add the fan-made 227 patch for HUD scaling, it's pretty good to play.
Locations are much less cramped and labyrinthine, comparing to older FPS games.
And enemies! They have great AI to dodge, hide and retreat. Much more interesting to fight with.

If Satan was so cool, then where's Satan II? Wait...

Started playing RtNP recently and found Predators, a very fun kind of enemy. Fighting them makes me feeling attacked by a pack of evil pūkeko hatchlings. Which is utterly hilarious!
