![]() Still, on the rare occasion that I wasn't blown up by the game's attempts to help me out, I found myself quite happy to have the missile launcher to hand as it meant I'd be able to make some progress for once. I'd frequently run out of ammo and then it'd automatically switch to the missile launcher mid-fight and I'd blow up! Did you know that Duke Nukem 3D also switches to explosive weapons when you run out of regular ammo? I didn't, because it NEVER HAPPENS. When it takes a good quarter of my bullets to kill one common enemy, then there's something wrong there. I just didn't find these enemies much fun to outmanoeuvre and the weapons felt underpowered. Suicide bombers, wasps, ghosts, machine gunners with pinpoint accuracy. They've taken the solid foundations of Duke 3D and built some interesting levels upon them, but then they populated those levels with assholes. To be honest I found it to be one long pain in the ass. Just for a laugh Lo Wang decided to stick his fingers in its brain and as luck would have it, it turns out that doing that makes it fire off fireballs. I also found this thing attached to someone's neck. Hold on, I'll find the bastard, he can't be that hard to get hold of. I guess it must not have been in the first episode. have completely forgotten to take a screenshot of the railgun. ![]() Of course it's possible that could be due in part to the fact that I memorised every keyboard shortcut and studied all the tricks when I was a kid, but once you know what buttons to press it's pretty straightforward. And with that we come to the end of the game's first episode.īut before I'm finished with the game I should mention that it comes with a fully featured version of Build, which I've found to be one of the fastest and easiest level editors I've ever used. Though I probably wouldn't have put on that offensive accent. shitface!"Ĭouldn't have said it better myself Lo Wang. "HEY! Come back here and finish fight! Ugly, scary, snake. ![]() But wait, the snake monster's actually teleporting away from me? But I was winning! Man that was actually pretty easy in the end. OH OKAY FINE! I'll go back and try the boss fight again! I'm so crap that this that I can't even take down a wasp with a nuke, but I'm sure I'll be able to take down a snake demon if I just persevere! Man that is an awesome movie, a definite step up from the second film and they actually nailed the third act for once in the series. Did you know that fortune cookies are an American invention? Sorry, I just watched Iron Man 3 so I had that line going around my head. "Fortune Say: Don't you know you're the scum of society!?" "Fortune Say: Sorry, you no win this time, try again." Still at least I have the fortune cookie messages to keep my spirits up. Here's a clue to how well I'm doing right now: it's telling me on screen that I've just picked up a +50 health boost, and I only have 43 health. Just when I was actually starting to figure the regular enemies out and make some steady progress for once, that game puts me up against a four armed snake monster that'll almost certainly end up kicking my ass. Oh right, games often have boss fights at the end of chapters don't they? I honestly didn't see this coming.
