Also it had better glory kill mechanics, in doom you just gut people for ammo and HP, in shadow warrior 3 you get unique weapons and equipment for glory kills
>glory kill
And dropped.
I'm not a fan of them either, it's why I dropped doom and eternal because it was tedious. At least you get cool rewards for doing it in SW3 though, like a confetti cannon or a throwable piece of an ice monster that freezes enemies
>Serious Sam 3's trophies but done well
Yes?
>shadow warrior 3 you get unique weapons and equipment for glory kills
I already have 7th guns. Why should I need gimmicky weakass bullshit from enemies? Frick off moron
It stopped being Shadow Warrior. It lost all its soul when it changed Lo-Wang's and Zilla's voice actor, had the script written like an even worse Marvel movie where nothing is serious and everything is drenched in irony and sarcasm, and made it so the sword is useless except for applying elemental statuses to enemies or killing the occasional mook for ammo.
>What went wrong?
The protagonist
so very true
Shadow Warrior 3 is short as hell, has too much platforming and 'slide' parts, isn't funny, the voice actors suck, the weapons are lame, and generally the game is boring.
Feels like all my complaints of SW2013 minus the short part.
>4-5 hours playtime
>writing that makes the MCU look like Shakespeare
>x-ray vision
>utter PR fallout with the VA changes
4 hours.
Horrible story. Genuinely bad.
Pathetic gun variety.
New voice actor is terrible compared to the old one.
>SW'13: a fine game, pretty much the formula to expand upon and make a few good sequela
>SW2: boredomlands wannabe, a complete disappointment, no hand-crafted levels because of procedurally generating meme
>SW3: ZOOM + ZOOM: Shiternal wannabe, a bootleg of already shit games
>publisher donates money to feminazi
>devs later pander to morons who scream "A WHITEY CAN'T VOICE YELLOW CHARACTER THAT'S MUH RAYCISM" and hire a meh actor who has absolutely zero energy to do a nuWang voice
Devolver and FWH are moronic Black personhomosexuals
>"we want to honor Wang's Japanese heritage by switching his VA"
>new VA is Korean
>actually not even from Korea but born in NY
They also replaced Zilla's VA for the same reason, so they ended up firing a black guy because of his race.
>Social Justice Warrior 3
game looks and feels like Duke Nuke Forever, maybe it's the same engine. it's fricking terrible.
I kinda wanna play 2 now, does it ever stop being bullet sponges against your shitty underperforming weapons? I got to Zilla Corp and felt like I was fighting against the mechanics constantly. It was noticeably worse than the first game, but I kind of enjoyed it aside from that. Also despite being unlikable, that chick in Wang's head made me diamonds for some reason.
dude
she's 3 years old
What, she was working for Zilla for years and is like 20+, wasn't she?
in the last third it's revealed she's mezu's daughter and half demon and it's only been 5 years since the end of shadow warrior 2013
Well, I didn't know that so I'm still in the clear.
I beat 2 last week on hard, bulletsponge games really bother me but the game got less bullet-spongy in the second half since you get more powers, you do have to juggle at least 5 different weapons though to deal with elemental resistances.
The shadow well power you unlock lets you turn any crowd of enemies into swiss cheese if it's charged, game was pretty fun.
>download again
>start up old save
>every second enemy is immune to the guns I still have ammo for
>have to keep track of invisible enemies while dodging around big guys and having them jump around too
>everything hits like a truck and my healing skill is bad right now
I think I am getting too old for this fast paced stuff.
Just because it's an objectively better game doesn't mean it's enough to be more relevant than Doom, Doom and Wolfenstein basically made the genre popular and despite what the contrarian hivemind in Ganker says, both Doom and Eternal were the new life the game needed
>muh story
You don't play Doom for the story homosexual, yes they tried putting a narrative but most people just scoff at the story and just shoot things until they die
Shit taste
DOOM and Eternal story are perfect
They are peak cheesy chunni-kino over the fricking top with Slayer firing himself from a Big Fricking Gun. Stuff that belongs to japanese hack&slash, a level of SOVL the West can hardly replicate and never tries to, but the contrarian Ganker shithole pretends that it's bad because the game filtered them and it's not japanese
Doom2016s story is ironically good because of how little there actually is.
nu-doom followed the classic business strategy of just copying your competitors but doing it better
Except worse. Twice.
Too bad FWH failed to realize that and decided it would be a good idea to copy the second copy, and the result was SW3. Literally all they had to do was make SW2+1 with less negligible stat frickery that wasted your time.
full price for a third of a campaign
SW2013 was basically doom2016 before doom2016 actually existed.
Now that Doom is doing that style of game the Shadow Warrior reboot has been rendered obsolete.
>randomized maps
>roguelite elements
>bullet sponge enemies
It's complete trash.
