A late, late Painkiller review
Moderator: General Discussion Moderators
Update time kids! Whoooo!
Hell yeah! I just finished the first chapter and am in drive of the second one. Just started asylum. Haven't really seen it yet except for the inviting entrance. Anyone get a Cradle to Grave first time flashback? Sure felt that way to me.
Gotta rest though... whew!
I'll keep you all posted. Especially DD on one particular update...
You know something? The level design in the first chapter never annoyed me. Sure it was a bit linear, but not 100% or even as bad as opposed too... Half-f***.
Then again, I just blew right through the levels, But hey Graveyard was nice. The level after that (Can't remember it, it had all those single axe wielding monks) was ok too. The rest? Well...
And I read the first page again. IS a real f*** shame that gamers in general don't give it a chance. Realism is nice, but is it REALLY f*** mandatory!? Why don't they all just Join FPS Doug and go join the Army. it's Basically FPS except better graphics (And more realism, I might add to that.)

Well my Dreaming God, I can tell you this so far. The Oprah level is f*** fantastic. Except that a few seats a missing in front of the stage...
You know what else I like about Painkiller? The little things. Shooting hanging bodies from ceilings... the postcards flying out of their boxes... collecting souls... the details in a level feel like a real world... no half life inspired scripts... hanging ninjas on the wall with a stake gun BWHA! Seriously, I smiled wide when I pulled that off! lol! I also adore how the battles are frantic and test your skills and patience in the heat of a battle, rather than exhausting you with 500 foes at once... Sorry Croteam, but that didn't work. Dreamcatcher did the same thing yes, but they pulled it off just right.
*sigh* I love painkiller. I bet if Blood and painkiller were people, they'd marry.

I mentioned a while back, I think, that Battle Out Of Hell always screws up for me. Well, it's gotten worse. Previously, my screen would become filled with random graphics, then fix itself after a little while. Now it immediately crashes. I'm starting to think that it's my CD or something, as updating to the latest version didn't do anything at all, and it's not showing any signs of getting better. I've installed it on my brother's (better (... sorry to keep blabbing on about it, but it's really unfair for various reasons)) computer, we'll see if that does anything. I probably won't know until tomorrow, as he is being dumb and using his top-of-the-line computer to USE AIM AND THE INTERNET.

Ok, due to the single worst bit of logic possible, it now works as it did before, simply screwing up for a sec when it does one of those nice screen damage effects instead of crashing... a cookie to whoever guesses what I did... and maybe some ice cream, depending on your timing. But anyways, I played through Orphanage, and it is so far my favorite level from either PK or BooH. Loony Park looks... very handicapped friendly... I played for a little while, deja vu... And also, for some reason, my revolving bone door things lock themselves. Does anyone else experience my problems, and if so, HELP PLEASE!!! It's making the game unbearable. And I'm probably wrong in assuming that those things locking is a glitch and I probably failed to notice a door. I'm hoping that's it, I'll try again tomorrow.
