What the fuck is this shit?
This looks nothing like Painkiller
I never want to hear you faggots complain and whine about the nu-DOOM games ever again
Especially DOOM the Dark Ages which looks ironically more like a Painkiller game than whatever this gay ass coop shit is
>>717157281
Because it's an industry mandate now
You will put the ugly black woman and 'subtle' antiwhite propaganda in your game or we will pull our investment funding
Looks better than the nu-Doom released this year. Other than the blood, not sure why it's age-restricted. Didn't see any Mortal Kombat level fatalities. Just things exploding into blood for the most part from a distance.

Bro what is it with Painkiller that whatever dev works on it just can't seem to stay true to it? First Witchfire turned into what it is and now this weird fucking co-op shit.

To desecrate every beloved IP. Even the small ones.
That's why I don't want NOLF to ever get out of the current IP hell where no one can figure out who owns the rights to it.

Ah yes because 80s action hero dark fantasy boomers will definitely buy this blatant DEI slop because it makes them nostalgic about their 80s action hero dark fantasy slop.

There was a playtest and from what people said, especially boomshoot fans, it's not looking great at all >Vermintide/L4D style coop shooter >Emphasis on coop, because yeah you can play singleplayer, but you will be forced to have AI teammates with Marvel quips >2 weapons limit >The overall Borderlands-like aesthetics of the game
And dropped
Going back to DOOM 2016 and Eternal
Would look great but >co-op >weapon limit
Seriously puts me off
Shame because the shooty shooty part seems pretty good, alongside the absurd weaponry and gore
Best one on Steam is still Black edition ye? Because I wanna go back and relive the experience a bit and I see there's like a dozen rereleased PK games
>>717157041 (OP) >suddenly bald woke women and niggers for no reason in the slightest
this gameplay has NOTHING to do with painkiller
this is painkiller in name only
what a travesty
>>717159823
black edition is the original + expansion, and yes that's the best edition
the others are not done by original devs
one of them is a remaster of the original (and worse)
>>717157041 (OP)
Never played the original.
I seem to remember hearing it is good. Is that true? Should I add it to the list of backlog games to finish? Pretty sure it's sitting in my librarby
>>717159870 >this gameplay has NOTHING to do with painkiller
Thank God, it might actually be good >>717160434 >I seem to remember hearing it is good. Is that true?
Lol no

It's a solid game. I think it (and Serious Sam) got a lot of love because they were some of the last games in a FPS subgenre where you enter a room and millions of dudes ambush you. You know kinda like Doom. Early to mid 00s saw a big shift in FPS design and Painkiller was there to oppose it.

jeets don't care about efficiency, they just mindlessly do whatever to get paid. Then they go to street vendors for delicious cow dung pies
>>717159321 >obligatory 'one player carries/handles the objective and is defenseless while the others fight' sequence
Of all the fucking things to implement in what's supposed to be an adrenaline FPS title, it's that sorta dogshit? All three players should be packing in, guns a blazing, and instead it's a lackadaisical school trip through hell.

Painkiller Black (original game + first expansion) is the good one. Beautiful aesthetic throughout, from levels, to monsters, to music, to guns. Each level is a little atmospheric vignette with 3-6 fitting enemy types.
