MTF Sergeant Posted May 11, 2018 Need For Speed: Most Wanted(2012) I seriously do not know why NFS fans consider THIS MASTERPIECE by EA as the worst NFS game ever. I mean, look at these screens! The graphics, cars and the environment are much much better than the OG 2005 game. They feel like this destroys the classic "NFS culture". But I would just give this one a straight 10/10! 3 Share this post Link to post

The main problem of that game is that it feels little more than a re-branded Burnout. I like it and consider it a solid racing game, but at the same time it just doesn't feel like a true NFS game. HP2010 didn't miss the spirit at all unlike MW2012, and while we're on the subject, even Criterion themselves stated that it's "Burnout's spiritual successor" . 0 Share this post Link to post

So it cannot be more like Burnout. I guess, while Burnout Paradise focuses more on the speed, Most Wanted focuses more on the Environment. 1 Share this post Link to post
KVELLER Posted May 11, 2018 @TFK Is that Windows 10's watermark on the corner? I thought it didn't go beyond the desktop. 0 Share this post Link to post
MTF Sergeant Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Yeah. I have no idea how to activate it. Is there any way to remove it? I use Windows 10 Pro, so it still constantly updates. 0 Share this post Link to post

Well do what the message says :v . Settings -> Updates & Security - > Activation. But since you're seeing that... ya sure you're not using a pirate copy there? 0 Share this post Link to post
Starkiller Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Look what the Blood console told me when I tried to revive myself with God mode. On the Well Done difficulty. Lord Tchernobog is giving me the finger. 2 Share this post Link to post

Quakespasm with the appropriate .lit files for the maps. You can find those (and .vis files for transparent water) here. 3 Share this post Link to post

I remember the HUD not changing in GLQuake though (both expansions have a different HUD), but then again, GLQuake being buggy is old news. In any case, I encourage you to use a source port. FitzQuake Mark V has a software renderer if you're interested. 1 Share this post Link to post

seed Posted May 19, 2018 Y'know, Quake still looks pretty awesome even without texture packs apparently. Still, texture packs can really transform the game. With Epsilon it looks like something that came out relatively recently. Always amazing what you can do with old games: Spoiler 0 Share this post Link to post

I don't mind if it's brown, it's still fun to quad through Lovecraftian mythos. 0 Share this post Link to post
CARRiON Posted May 19, 2018 I recommend Quakespasm (and so does John Romero!). Mark V is another one that gets recommended a lot. I personally never cared for all the fancy stuff like hi-res textures or models or ports like Darkplaces. It's all too much and sucks the charm right out of the aesthetic. I like my gritty chunky pixels and low definition horrors. 4 Share this post Link to post

I like my gritty chunky pixels and low definition horrors. I prefer Quake as it is already. It's better to leave it low-res than change the game pixels. It adds to the mythos charm, at least for me. 0 Share this post Link to post

Avoozl Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Apparently Doom is not the only game to get the tutti frutti artifacts, Perfect Dark is another but I only encountered this during emulation. Pelagic II is the only level in the game to get this issue surprisingly and it happens in random ways. Edited May 24, 2018 by Avoozl 2 Share this post Link to post
