It’s time to discuss HeXen
>>
>>740636164
Game's original console launches were borked. The save file was fucking huge.
>>
A thread has opened on another board.
>>
I keep confusing this with Heretic
>>
>>740640578
Hexen is beyond Heretic.
>>
>>740636164
A modern game in the Hexen/Heretic franchise wouldn't sell as well as Doom, but I'd enjoy it.

>>740640503
one seventh of the cum guzzle has been solved!

>Microsoft owned
Nope I don't want them touching it. They'd only force DEI ugly females into the game and black and browns. The Xbox brand is fucking shit.
>>
>it's time to discuss Hexen
THEN AGAIN, MAYBE NOT
>>
>>740636164
I don't remember but you are an elf in Heretic, right? In Hexen you are humans? Hexen 2 one of the heroes is a demoness or something like that.
>>
>>740643664
Yes, and Corvus is badass.
>>
>>740636164
I'm not playing a FPS with 4 weapons total

Highly recommend Ascension

I didn't really care for hexen 2,
if I could travel back in time and convince the dev's to invent one more enemy and not use the slaughtaurs, I think the game would have been much better.
Slaughtaurs are miserable to fight.

>Slaughtaurs are miserable to fight.
For which class?
>>
It's an FPS where you spend most of your time on things other than combat. It's fun when you're fighting monsters, but soon they're all dead and now it's time to run around the maze looking for the switch that unlocks the switch at the other end of the maze, and so on and so forth. You spend most of the game inspecting walls like a grouchy landlord, and in my opinion, that sucks. But at least it can be beaten without a walkthrough, unlike the insanely cryptic sequel.
>>
>>740643664
Yes, in Hexen you play as one of 3 humans.
The demoness is from the Hexen 2 expansion specifically.
>>
Levels too huge and complex. It's anti-fun.
>>
>>740642324
I can live without a hertic/hexen with marvel quips every 5 seconds
>>
>>740636164
didn't like it as much doom tbqh
>>
>>740636164
Reminder there was Heretic + Hexen remaster released last year
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3286930/Heretic__Hexen/
It is extremely similar to DOOM + DOOM II remaster
>>
>>740636164
>Hexen
Oh wow! I remember Dad and I installing a CD drive into my Windows 3.1 computer back in the day so we could install this game. We never did get it to work though, lmao. The game was too much for the computer to handle. I think we got to play for like 2 minutes before it would crash, haha.

>>740648975
It's a DOS game.
>>
>>740647028
Its vastly different. Heretic is basically a remake in this version with different mechanics and levels. Its probably one of the better remasters they put out.
>>
>>740636164
It was ok wouldn't replay
>>
>>740649352
>It's a DOS game.
Makes sense why it didn't work then. Strange that it made a shortcut inside Windows if it wasn't even playable that way. That was over 30 years ago though, so I had no idea what I was doing back then, haha.
>>
Hexen remake?
>>
>>740649352
>It's a DOS game.
Oh wait, do you mean it was only on a floppy disk? Maybe I'm remembering wrong the reason why we installed the cd drive...
>>
>>740649704
It most likely can work in 3.1x but you'd need to change something in config.sys for it to work.

>>740649823
Yeah, it was on diskettes. There was a win95 release later.
