The Never Hood is so good.

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago

Fuck yeah Neverhood!

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 2 days ago

Can’t believe that woke garbage Wolfenstein is in there. /s

[-] jinarched@lemm.ee 10 points 3 days ago

Oni is so good.

[-] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

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.

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

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

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

But I admire your hate version.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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..?)

Oni still had better hand to hand combat gameplay than all of those games though 😅

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

omg the Neverhood.

[-] glorkon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

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

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

My favorite was always "dum da dum doi doi."

[-] glitches_brew@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Everybody waaaaiiill

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

[-] MeatsOfRage@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 3 days ago

Klaymens Theme is an all time banger

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

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.

Neverhood was a fantastic experience. If you like puzzlers.

[-] Theatomictruth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 days ago

And that soundtrack was so good

[-] marquisalex@feddit.uk 7 points 3 days ago

Bandcamp link here - one of my all-time favourite VG soundtracks. Never heard anything like it before or since!

Blade of Darkness was kickass

[-] Vladkar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Is kickass

[-] iegod@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

Oni! <3

[-] Acidbath@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] Arkhive@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days 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.

[-] couggod@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

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

[-] TheRealLinga@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

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

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.

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.

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

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

[-] fraksken@infosec.pub 11 points 3 days ago

Sharing your cd key, are you now?

[-] Varyag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

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

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 days ago

absolutely loved Oni, still one of my favorites ever.

[-] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 days ago

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

[-] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

But it was a cool game

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.
