15 years later, still a pretty fun GTA clone. only really brought down by 2 issues : the bugs in this version, and the rep grind.

the bugs part is self-explanatory, but the rep grind feels like a forced-ish way to make you do more of the open-world checklist, which i don't find particularly great in any open world game. still, i think the game is funny enough that it's worth moving forward and suffering a few extra missions here and there to see the bulk of what the game has to offer. hard to stop after any cutscene, because the game is genuinely funny, in a way that went off the rails in this series after this specific entry.

if you can stomach the "everything is brown" visuals from that era and the bugs, this is still a pretty damn good game to sink your teeth into.

the real reason to play this is last stand. the campaign is, in my opinion, lesser than vanilla (and chaos rising, by extension).

the former is still active with matches popping up over a decade later. if you really fancy it, the campaign is also right there and can be played as any of the races. but really the actual reason to get this is last stand. i'm not joking.

still a pretty decent time. biggest piece of criticism off the bat is that the UI does not scale well, making it a pain to read. another bit to criticize is that the campaign does drag on a bit - maps end up being very similar and there's not a lot of variety on offer at the end of the day

with all that said, it's still a pretty straight forward game, and there's definitely some fun to be had with unit tweaking. i'm not a warhammer fan so i can't speak on the quality of the story but what i got wasn't too terrible on that front!!

being very honest, this is still a good game but you should wait for the remaster. this game sorely lacks in some things, like modern screen resolutions.

if the remaster is bad then you can come back here and play this one. if the remaster is good, that would probably be the one to play over this.

this is a good game. anything i would criticize about it would be petty and purely subjective, because it is not for me. regardless, i think it's worth at least your consideration.

still good but needs a decent pass for modernisation in regards to controller support and supported resolutions. some of it can be fixed with mods and steam input, but having native options would be better.

other than that, it's the original splinter cell. predates ubisoft's garbage DRM so you can just install it and play as you will.

confidence is a slow and insidious killer except in this game where it will kill you really fast. i think mullet madjack is a pretty damn good game and dismissing it as "boomer shooter for zoomers" is selling the game short. it's a very frantic time and can get demanding, but plowing through hordes of robots feels pretty damn good.

my cute girlfriend quit because i didn't make her stressed enough.

this is a game you play for the story. there's nothing wrong with the gameplay - matter of fact the combat is pretty alright - but it's nothing you haven't seen a thousand times by now. open-world checklist is a pretty decent summary for that part of the game.

game regularly goes on sale for a handful of pennies, and i would say i think it's at least worth a look, if only because the game feeds you a lot of story regularly.

it's quake, i bought it because i thought buying the id pack would be a good idea 15 years ago. really nothing much to say. it's quake.
