The word that keeps springing to my mind to describe this game is “personality”. It has it in spades.

I’m liking the variety in gameplay – some gunfights, some stealth, some sniping, some NPC interaction, and heaps of gadgets, most of which actually get a bit of use.

Agreed on the voice acting – it’s very much above par. Except for most of the generic enemy voices. But even there the horrible accents are done with a tongue-in-cheek self awareness.
And I think this game has the best passive enemy quips I’ve ever heard!

Very much enjoying it so far. Surprised I hadn’t really heard of it before!

You can sign me up if you want!
My timezone is not friendly with US and Europe though, so if it doesn’t line up I’m happy to just send through a voicemail.

I haven’t played it in 3dfX unfortunately – I have a mere TNT card in my Pentium II, and I can’t justify the eye-watering prices voodoo cards go for these days.
I get the feeling the youtube videos don’t do it justice either…

Yeah, apparently 40+ hours! Yeesh!
I guess that’s par for the course for RPGs though.

We might be able to use the one on the Half Life DGC episode.
I realise it was supposed to be a joke though, and it might get annoying after the 5th listen!

I recently played this (PS2 version) and quite liked it. I hear the windows version was better?
I’m a big fan of 3rd person shooters, so I’m down for this one.

I don’t think we could get away with not doing this one at some point!

I gave this one a serious go a year or two ago, and I just couldn’t get into it.
The original is one of my favourite games of all time, but Hexen II just felt empty and soulless by comparison.
I think I read somewhere it was rushed, which would explain a lot.
That all said, I would be willing to give it another crack – there’s plenty in there to enjoy.

Edit: d’oh! I read this wrong! I thought this thread was about Hexen II, not Heretic II

Funnily enough most of what I wrote still stands, except that I played it about 15 years ago and persevered to the end.

This has been on my “to play” list just about since it was new.
Definitely would love to do this one!

I think quarterly is a good place to start. We can always increase the frequency if it seems feasible.
I’m happy to help where I can, but I only have limited time myself.

When I was musing about this concept in the past, I thought keeping the scope roughly to games that will work on the non-NT versions of Windows, ie 95, 98 and (shudder) Me, because they still rely on DOS to some degree and that will keep the connection to DOS game club. You could extend that to windows 3.x games too, except maybe DGC would be better off covering that.
Doesn’t mean you can’t pick games from the XP era, but they should at least work on 98.

As for episode 0, I’m thinking something similar to sorceress: a casual round-table discussion about the games that came with windows, eg solitaire, minesweeper, space cadet pinball etc. in the context of what it was like when 95 first came out, what we thought of this new OS, how things were now different to the days of DOS, etc etc
