The Never Hood is so good.

I seriously don't think this game gets enough credit. It basically invented the combat system used in a bunch of AAA titles today. Like the Batman games. Sure they have been refined and improved it, but it was revolutionary at the time.

Fuck yeah Neverhood!

I still use the song "Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong" from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.

I didnt know oni was on pc. Ive been playing it recently on ps2 and let me say the movement in that game is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I recently went through getting it to run on Linux. It’s one of the only Bungie games I haven’t played. Shockingly in depth combat, I’m enjoying it, but I’m bad at combo based fighting games, so I’m playing it in very bite sized pieces.

I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child

Klaymens Theme is an all time banger

That game is so good, one of my early gaming memories

Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Rockstar acquired Oni to get its proprietary engine and killed its sequel, Oni 2 because they got what they wanted

Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.

But I admire your hate version.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Rockstar is pretty shitty to devs, but okay, the Midtown Madness devs did have a glow up because they were under new management

I just recenly learned about Oni 2s leaked prototype existence and I'm salty that they piecemealed that IP into oblivion.... HOWEVER...Oni's engine would become the RAGE engine that powers and gave life to GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 (...and perhaps GTA VI..?)

Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.

Wait, those games came on CD? I thought they came as ISOs with a nocd_patch.exe

Man, my brother and I were obsessed with the Neverhood back in the day. That game was so weirdly satisfying

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I swear one day I'll beat it.

The day I figured out the mouse cheese puzzle was a major milestone of my childhood

Bungie’s Oni was really good for the era. Right before halo and when they were still releasing games for Mac. Think I still have that disc in storage somewhere alongside my Mac copy of Halo CE.

Looove Dues Ex. I just looked up The Neverhood, and it looks so interesting. Definitely going to need to watch a long play of that.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It's amazing that it is in such good condition.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I don't remember that Oni game by Bungie. That cover art looks nice.

Neverhood was a fantastic experience. If you like puzzlers.

Sharing your cd key, are you now?

The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.

Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven't played it, Oni was a quiet favorite of mine from around then. I don't think it got a lot of attention at the time, or even today. This was Bungie near the end of its Mac-first pre-Halo era.

I used to play one of those demo disc games where you get to fly an aircraft and do missiona, but back then i had bo clue what the mission was i was just happy being able to fly.

I never stopped playing games, i was always taught that you can't pilot when you're colorblind so i was convinced video games would allow me to do things real life would never let me.

Skyrim really caught me and after that cyberpunk took it's place, i just love being rewarded for your work and getting to do cool shit with that money.

Real life barely feels like you're being rewarded anymore imo.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I remember playing Project IGI, that one was hard. Die and you have to redo the entire mission, brutal.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

But it was a cool game

absolutely loved Oni, still one of my favorites ever.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Gunman Chronicles is unironically great. Granted, I love games with ludicrous numbers of weapons, but the fact that the weapons have a bazillion firing modes is fun.
