Any game better than Blood ???

Post by sadist_329 »

We have all played Blood and we have all enjoyed it.
There are few other gory and bloody games like this.
But there must be some game which you find may be better.
Don't hesitate to put them down right here.
Games from other fields (racing,fighting,sports etc.) cannot be considered.

Hard call there man. When a game like Blood pulls off being something so special in it's own right, it's really hard to compare it to other games like that.

I'd say Painkiller. Not as in "Oh, it's better", but it's one of the few that feels just as legendry.

yes, i can't name "better" games because it's a matter of a personal preferences and all good games have something that actually makes them good.

as for blood, i'd too say that painkiller continues something from blood's legacy.

Blood is BEST in my opinion. I may be wrong since I missed most of recent 3DActions. Even PK.

Blood strikes a certain balance for me with a bunch of things combined that I really like and is unique to this game. It's the only game I've ever really embraced. It's kinda like Star Wars or something, I keep coming back to it.

Yeah me too , i've played this games many times . I just can't resist playing it again and again.

Oh bye the way , Ra_Ra_Gazaa , I don't think Blood 2 comes anywhere near good ol Blood......i mean bad ol Blood . :evillaugh:

If only the creators had stuck with the same Build engine and not gone off to make it on a really cheap new world engine . Caleb also seems to have gone soft in Blood 2
And don't get me started on CABAL CO. - pheeeew :banghead:
Man what the hell is a company of thugs doing in place of the Cabal cult.
The soldiers look ordinary and the animation is nowhere close to Blood .

I still think Blood is much better .
If only someone made Blood 3 with the same engine as Blood

well get this.. Daedalus, RedFanatic, and myself are you giving you in essence, 2 different sequels using the same engine. Then you have Kurt making a better Blood 2 on the Lithtech engine. Blood fans have some of the greatest Blood stuff coming down the pike in the future

People seem to really like Clive Barker's stuff.

If you like Blood (you DO) I recommend a few other titles:

Eternal Darkness (Nintendo Gamecube)
Duke Nukem 3D (PC)
Clive Barker's Jericho (I haven't played it)
CB's Undying too* ;)

Hmmm someone add to this.

I don't think any game can really compete with the original Blood. However there have been a few other games that I feel could proudly stand along side it.

Painkiller, and Undying were both enjoyable, as were both System Shock games. And the original Silent Hill still remains a favorite of mine, because its the only game that's ever really made me feel uncomfortable.

I also hope that some day people might be convinced to give Blood 2 another chance, when its overhaul has been completed. I'd like to think that it's poor reputation might still possibly be able to be repaired.

I'm not surprised. :wink:

Now someone tell me this... If Blood is so good, then why did we turn to Blood 2 in the first place? Or any other game for that matter...

Because it's hard to belive that a game from 10 years ago is still WAY better
than anything today apart from Painkiller which only just comes close :
