Did you just
Really good game
i c i c
i got dusk from a new blood dev and ultrakill from a friend
I got dusk from a keydrop in twitch chat šš»
I got dusk when I paid for it.
I would like to understand how you understand the names of games in English
soap is good
me too!
I Dropped It
that's it
i c the brutal names
I'll be at your house in the next 5 years.
i hate how dusk doesnt have an auto pause when u tab out
but when i translate it, all brutality gone away
You aren't supposed to translate names
lmao, when i Ń dusk82, I laughed
@torn galleon, please keep all discussions in English.
lo
aaaah
dusk82 has Andrew's chiptune soundtrack too, it's great
just magic of chiptune
This is a game in the skin of the first Wolfenstein
also holy shit
i underestimated dusk
this shit is too good
changing my review rn br
oof
i mean
if you get a cake for free
are you supposed to liek it
If it tastes good, then yes.
i always likes everything i c, eated, played
never mind, there was this one time when the cake was a lie
It's Episode 3, the one after homecoming.
Yeah that.
It's E3M8: As Above, So Below
I never understand games with reviews with like 30 minutes of playtime
Me neither.
I went into the game, immediately wrote a bad review
I'm pretty sure I just saw someone call the Mortar a shit Riveter. You and me, in the alley behind Target, now.
The mortar is fantastic.
Beeeeg splash.
And bounces around corners etc.
Also way more ammo for it
That too.
And you can remote detonate it
Just... so useful.
Also possibly the funniest thing I've ever used when having double dakka power-ups.
Just brrrrrrrrrrrrrt and then the entire level explodes.
I like riviter more but its still really powerfull
He also Said the Mortar itself looked like shit
That's it, we're throwing hands. When DUSK gets hand models.
tbh I can't really think of a good time when the riveter wouldn't just be better. I love the mortar but it mostly feels like you use it to save riveter ammo lol
This guy gets it
Slower projectile, useful for not blowing thr shit out of yourself.
Riveter is more powerful in a lot of situations, but the mortar is just delectable for big crowds, bouncing around/above cover, etc.
Also, the sheer amount of ammo means not having to be conservative about it.
double jump guns
Also, the rat wave in Dweller in Darkness? MORTAR TIME.
Gather them all up and just ponk ponk massive gib.
This is the only way to beat that wave on Duskmare.
You get to brag about it.
I'm hoping the sdk lets us tweak a lot of values, you could drop down the speed of the riveter and make the mortar not quite so bouncy ball to make mortar jumps more consistent and even them out a bit
Or just remove ~~mortar ~~
lol
But really though
in multiplayer or singleplayer
singleplayer mortar is good
Only if you dont compare it to riv
why not make the riv shoot mortars and the mortars shoot swords with the sdk?
Dusk 92 was an
ā¦interesting choice
dusk 92 exists?

It's not that the mortar is bad, its just the riveter is nearly BFG status.
Mortar is basically a go between when you want explosions but don't want to keep rivet ammo for something else
For single player I mean
im not sure if i wanna buy dusk 82, not sure if its my type of game but idk might be fun
Are there actual lyrics for "The Beginning"? I saw a comment that says the choir is singing "we have spoken with the master" but I ain't too sure
I think they're saying "nyarlathotep" in weird engrish
i like shooting things should i buy dusk
God. Yes.
Some of the most satisfying shooting of things out there.
... but I suspect this place might be the last place you'll find a truly unbiased opinion.
Good man. Prove yourself Worthy.
... and go in as blind as you can, that just improves the experience.
aight
I've just replayed Quake and wow, the similarities between it and Dusk is uncanny. I love it
DUSK really sometimes plays like a heavily polished Quake, with more level variety and better level design in general.
That's also very evident, no offence to Quake
Canāt believe Quake stole from Dusk smh my balls
Quake is actually based on Dusk 1982
Holy shit
Wow, no way
Damn that John Carmack, inventing timetravel just to go steal game ideas from the future.
He's capable of it
Alternate universe where Dusk happened first and Doom is a boomer shooter revival
Alternate universe in which Szymanski is making Sigel 2?
More like Quake being the Boomer Shooter Revival
True
Doom easter eggs in Dusk, Dusk easter eggs in Doom eternal. Full circle lol
Is there actually Dusk stuff in Eternal?
Alas, I donāt believe so
Aw dang
There is the soap in eternal
On God?
A DUSK EASTER EGG IN DOOM ETERNAL!š
Mucho <3 @JunctionEight
@DUSKdev @DaveOshry https://t.co/Cu3K50a5qa

Wow, neat. I never noticed it before. Then again, I didn't hear of Dusk until it released on the glorified gaming tablet
Oooo
S o a p+
Some thoap
yes
alright then
Is Soap in games just naturally a reference to DUSK now?
i have bought dusk
Alright, i hope you enjoy it
Start the game on I Can Take It, Cero Miedo for begginers only works if you're well experienced with Boomer Shooters
whats a boomer shooter anyways? ive heard the term thrown around but
Genre of FPS based on games from the 99ās
As it is many
Man i was right to fear Chapter 3 in Cero Miedo, this shit is hard
aight
u have done that
i am like 4 levels in
Alright, how you liking it so far?
I did i can take it since it said cero miedo was bad for a first playthrough but it was super easy on i can take it, the only time I died was on e3m9
seems about right
Whoa, for real?
I mean, same for me in my second playthrough, it can be really easy at times, but trust me, the game really can be difficult in Cero Miedo
I mean I did play shittons of Unreal Tournament so not exactly my first boomer shooter
maybe that was why
Well that explains it
I'm more of a Jack of All Trades, but i'm really good with third person shooters
whats the fastest duskmare speedrun i wonder
Anyone got any tips for dealing with ||those weird hat women who explode shit||? I'm trying to get to wave 25 on endless for the achievement, but they keep fucking me over
rivets
pretend its gears of war and take cover
theyāre the only enemy in dusk you basically have to take cover for
Damn, no bs bunnyhopping
Oh going to plaid does the trick too, if you mind where their splash damage might come from, but it's rather tricky to hit things while doing so.
Rivets, timing your cover, moving fast.
splash damage makes it so there really isnāt a reliable dodging strat, thus cover
Thats the Cowgirls, and my plan is to use the mortar and use corners to your advantage. Don't face them Head on, you'll die
it's pretty good the best part about it is probably the audio from the guns it's so god damn satisfying to shoot in the game
i'm speedrunning fallen aces as a break
Didnt you already clocked at 48 seconds now?
Also yeah, Dusk has amazing sound design
I thought Cigar was morale only?
It's health.
No,itās health
I WAS RUNNING AROUND SCROUNGING HEALTH POTIONS LIKE A GOBLIN

game's already out
Cigar slows the game down? It's a quick swap puff and back to action.
You don't have to watch the whole animation.
Plus you can still move
Itās not the intended means of healing,but itās fun and useful
Yeah using cigar is cool af
It can also be used to heal a small amount of health
So that health pickups can be saved for later
Oh I didn't notice that
you can dodge them tho
not reliably
still better just to fast kill with rivets but they don't track faster than you move
get dunked on lmao
closer you get harder the timing
Just treat them like a less tanky Cyberdemon. So long as you don't over think your movement and you don't get too close before they fire, you should be golden. 
Yea exactly
I enjoy this background
good shit
aw thats cool i want that
thank
Anyone know how to get to episode two's secret level
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with a switch I found near the end but I dont know what it opens
dusk is an incredible game
in the settings menu in your balls
Hmmm, interesting place for settings menu
The problem was that I had a dusk_sdk set in steam's beta versions settings of dusk and because of this there was no such settings
ah yes,that settings I always forget about
based
found
NOOOO
It does get horror right, but it has too much of you being a badass to truly be horror
It's hard to get scared when you have a Rocket Launcher on a slot
Oh yeah, it does a great job spooking me as well, first time that is
Sometimes the game Will pull a fast one on you and put you in a Room Full of enemies on a Very enclosed space
Haha, such fun
I died three times in a row to that one teleporter in Ghost Town
Yall know the one
ok so what i've gotten from dusk is that earth has been taken over by hell or something??
idk
i have just observed my surroundings
Well
not really taken over by hell.
Just some cult who fucked up a town or something.
So you go after the cult to fuck them up.
the rest of the world is fine itās just dusk and everything near it is fucked up
i see
no??
isn't that what happened?
youāre just a treasure hunter who just so happened to find this shit
you heard about the abandoned town of dusk and went to loot it
yeah
also itās not said that the soldiers are actually apart of an army
could just be some random mercenary army or some shit
i thought dusk was your hometown? i heard something about yhat but i havent even finished the game
Nah, it's Soldiers sent in to fight the cult and it's corruption, and the ones that weren't killed off as Non-believers and thrown into the thresher, got possessed and became enemies
my headcanon is that they were doomsday preppers thar got indoctrinated
I was under the impression the comic etc established Dusk Dude was native to Dusk, and the Cult was responsible for... well, what you find in Homecoming.
Nah, have you seen the facilities built around Dusk?
Doomsday preppers aren't going to built the stuff you see in those levels
You need millitary spending and manwork to do shit like that
The military presence read to me like a Waco situation. The cult gained enough notoriety that they sent in the goons.
Also the Millitary and the scientists definetly got interested in the cultist powers that were there and made tons of experiments, the Scientists and their Experiments are proof of that
yes
where can i obtain
Link please?
Its in the Intruder version of the game iirc
The what?
Technicaly "Deluxe" version,
Its the base game + The graphic novel and soundtrack
meaning id have to rebuy the game? i think anyways idk how it works
ooh congrats hope you enjoy it
No, there should be upgrade pack for those who already have it
If you enjoy the soundtrack and you want the graphic novel/comic as well, then yes
You can
Don't think I got the comic when I got DUSK, but I did get the soundtrack.
... unless it's just somewhere in the folder, I'll check.
i see the ost in the dlc section but not the comic
Yes, its in PDF
how does an upgrade work?
And the Soundtrack you get from intruder edition is in .wav and .mp3
Yup, it's apparently in the game folder under DLC. I didn't realize.
Hah, typo on the very first comic page.
Excellent art though.
I can hear the narrator.
Hmmm, even if you buy the intruder edition now and you have the game already it should be at discount for you @misty swift, no? Like 5 bucks or something.
Do you check the store page from your account?
yeah its my account
Hmmmm
says intruder is $15 but also because its on sale it hink?
Yes, intruder is 30 dolars normaly
id imagine it to be $10 for an upgrade but its also on sale soo
maybe ill check on pc
might be weird on mobile
Yeah, it might be bugged out on mobile
Should be roughly 5 dolars if you have the game and its on sale
Heck, i got it for 5 or 6⬠but that was a year ago(that was 40 or 45% iirc)
And i dont remeber there being intruder dlc
susk
Okay you definitely want to finish the game before reading the comic, that's pretty clear.
Oh yeah
good to know
The comic is full of spoilers
man id love a physical copy of the comic lol itd be cool to have sitting in my room
Plus you wont understand half the shit if you didnt finish the game
Indeed, it would be nice to have physical copy of the comic
I volunteer to fix the spelling before it goes to print, heh.
Very lovely art though. Well worth it.
Thanks to Jacob McManamy for that little extra.
Btw, there should be update to the comic
Idk if its out now or will be released later but i remember it was annouced in one update blog(well, unless i remember wrong which might happen)
Those come with the base game, no?
Should be under bonus folder or something like that
there will be a standalone version once its finished
for now you can just watch the youtube dub
ooh thanks
Is the dusk novel on the intruder edition a digital copy or physical?
seems like its digital
Digital
what the fuck is that admin role icon lmao
We've still got plans of producing a physical print edition as well though. Stay tuned for updates on that

š
Oh I don't have image perms
But it was a funny glitch that happened while I was playing through Dusk
he cant get out of the grate
The admin muscle man icon has scarred me for life D:
Is Dusk supposed to be that good?
Yes
hell yes
Could swear it came out the same year as Blood
Graphics looks just right for the time
I love retro graphics like dusk so I was happy when I first saw the screenshots
Getting this gaming PC was a very good investment
I love chapter 1 myself
oh yeah dude glad ur having fun
chap 2 and 3 are godlike
well actually the entire game is in my opinion
Chapter 1 is great, but Chap 2 and 3 have some truly epic moments
as long as you stay away from AAA šš»
ture
Not always
*true
I want to see what David does next
Resident Evil Village is a masterpiece
Finger bones 2 
Well, why wait?
I like AAA but the indie and Japanese scene are my current jams
Chapter 1 is actually the wosrt chapter best chapter fixed that
The world ended years ago, in a fury of snow and ice: an apocalyptic blizzard born of unstoppable dark magic, wiping all traces of life from the face of the earth.A small pocket of humanity survived, safe in the upper floors of a tall stone tower, protected by a network of arcane mechanisms and enchantments. They have lived in the top half of t...
TBD
Thank you
Wait no
its my favorite lol
You're wrong
Main focus on Gloomwood right now tho
hahaahha you're awesome
Just helping around
Into the wishlist it goes
Alright, hope you enjoy it
Got to staple them squirrels
although personally I love chap 3 the most, old time religion is one of my fav lvls
I assume that's because of the music
I really like all the episodes but the atmosphere and level design feel the best in e1 imo. They're more open
available on switch too if you dont feel like playing it on pc, or you dont have one!
I like how DUSK is now a household name whenever it is mentioned in the realm of videogame development
And it should because it's awesome
Okay, i'm at the hardest level in the game
The Dweller In Darkness
Should i go for the arena stuff or do i skip it with the secret?
Both
I'm pretty sure that level is impossible unless i B-hop
And i do not know how to do it like an expert
Alright, i did it
I finished the game on Cero Miedo
I'm tired
I cannot beat Dweller In Darkness in Cero Miedo on my current skill level tho, so i took the shortcut
Thanks for that, David
first wave is the hardest imo
ive heard about that level i think? nothing about the story buuut
Well, basically it's the level that Dusk becomes Serious Sam
wave arena
One arena, endless enemies
It was honestly quite impossible for me, i couldn't conceive myself finishing that shit
the tiredness probably contributed to that
i remember getting to that and i was having a headache
once i saw the transparent textures and enemy hoarde i clocked out
it was 1am btw
Oh i wasn't as tired then, but i'm definetly am now
Actually scratch that, i did Gym today, i have been tired for a few hours now
But still, i felt like i finished Dusk in the difficulty it was meant to be played, and i feel at peace with that now
you are now worthy, my friend 
Thanks man, it does make me happy to hear that
Now, i truly feel like i'm done with Dusk, i did the hardest challenge that was still reasonable for me to do
remember to come back and get all achievements when the time comes
Yeah, doing it on Duskmare is a task fit for no one.
Ditto
Did that first, replayed the game on I Can Take It and got all Achievements
Then i finished the game on Cero Miedo
So now i'm done
Duskmare will always be a bit of a sidegrade difficulty in my mind, like a re-imagining mode rather than a direct bump up. Changes the whole game feel it really becomes a different style.
Although probably it was just trying to meme 1-up OG dooms nightmare mode
Duskmare is what really turns this game into a Tactical shooter
Pretty much
You can still play it pretty fast, but you risk a lot of RNG deaths at times. So for anything consistent it ends up slower
And saving a bunch on duskmare is just CM with extra steps lol
e3m9 is pretty punishing tho on DM
Yeah, i don't see the point of DM
It's not my thing, but I see why some like the change of pace
I just see it as straight up impossible, but it wouldn't suprise me if some crazy maniac actually did it
Oh yeah, please, turn my fast paced arena shooter into Hotline Miami
I've played it a massive amount just to really feel like I had judged it fair lol
CM will always be my favorite
No way
I don't really have any concrete evidence, but I have a screenshot.
... Not that that holds concrete weight.
I know I did it, and that's all I need.
I believe you
Here it is, back in June.
And i also believe you saying it wasn't worth it
no shame in that, I had to play that level on the Normal difficulty when I was trying to record footage for a video
Thanks, that was indeed a hardcore challenge

One must always reign beneath Dusk
Loving it so far.
Nice.
Well, the metal music is mostly used in combat filled levels and parts of levels
Most of the time you hear ambient music
Youll definitely hear some metal at the later part of the 2nd level of episode 1 @crimson folio
AND Album Songs
Bv
how can i do mods for dusk?
seems to be a oversight on our part with permissions. will fix
There are more
somebody has a servoer for duskworld
@olive cloud
Remix of "Keepers of the gate" from the Dusk OST
Artwork by NicolaBoi:
https://t.co/fti91E0jkn?amp=1
The fuckign
Im lookin at for 5 hours now
Dusk dude drip
i thought this would be cursed but thats actually slaps
Did you know that igracsimon also makes real and serious music š š
The guy who made that actually did a bunch of really cool tracks besides dusk drip
high five
nice
There is a 8-bit remix of Burn in Hell that i like a lot
Well its sinthwave vibe so it woun't fit Dusk 82
It's a synthwave remix for the DUSK OST track burn in hell.
I might do more of the Synthwave remixes however it's kinda hard to translate the industrial metal soundtrack into synthwave. This worked out dine though. A few months back i said that i was gonna do more releases. However most of the tracks i made turned out to be not good enough for m...
dusk
Treasure Hunter comes to the town of Dusk (it's hinted he's got some connection to it through his past and his family) to find it inundated by crazy cultists, and he starts delving to find answers and kick some ass.
Otherwise the story is basically just environmental.
bearded man is stabbed so he proceeds to stab everyone in the zip code back
I mean, it starts with him tearing himself off some meathooks as they try to kill him.
He's called Dusk Dude.
ye
Not exactly his name.
dusk dude
thats what everyone refers to him by
It's a classic shooter. Story is largely told environmentally and in level progression.
What little there is of it.
In Episode 3 there's a level that tells you all you need to know about Dusk Dude in like a minute and a half.
Absolutely not going to spoil it though, it's excellently done.
Well, there's also the text snippet if you look at the picture.
jakob was easier then the twins ngl
Yeah I did.
Honestly, yeah.
Both were easy.
Except for Mama.
Fuck that boss.
rivet
ok
I cheesed Mama hard. barrels, then just Riveter and she went down like a house of cards.
Almost as quickly as Big John.
The part that kicked my ass was Dweller in Darkness.
Died twice with one Horsie left.
big john was easy
... and that Guardian boss, took me a few tries before I got the message that he's way faster than he looks.
e3m9 was
E3M9 was as Civvie put it a Wall to Sacrifice the Unworthy upon. I can't wait until I try it on Ciero Miedo or however it was spelled.
One of the best carnage levels I've played in my life.
Especially with all the infighting you could provoke.
Yeah.
was e3m9 that blue sheet with hordes of enemies
I died a lot of times on Ciero Miedo, I'm gonna lose my fucking mind in E3M9.
yeh, Dweller in Darkness.
Yeah.
Jakob.
Also, that's the Intoxigator lo.
Not a rat.
Jakob is...
... let's just say Cult Leader and leave it there until you get around to him.
Yeah.
intoxigator is an alligator
It's worth it when you get through it.
Oh it's not the last you've heard from Jakob.
Also, pay a little attention to the levels as you progress through them. Writings on the walls, etc. It tells the story of Dusk (the town and what happened) more than conversations will.
"???"
yes
CONFIRMATIVE
Same happened to me. Doing that level on Cero Miedo was the only time i Noped the fuck out
So here's the thing about Jakob
I think he was a dude similar to Duskguy, in that ||He also killed the cult leader in a time before this, and then he was made into the new cult leader by Nyarlathotep.|| You can notice that Jakob and Duskdude are exactly the same in speed and weapon collection.
Which means that If a sequel to this game is made, ||Duskdude is gonna be the new cult leader, and the new secondary antagonist to the game, taking the place Jakob once had||
"He was worthy, you know."
He was definetly the most worthy of them all by the time of the game, definetly beating other worthy challengers, but not as worthy as he was
Dusk Dude is the most worthy.
They will have to beat me first.
For the soap achievement, do I have to kill someone/something with it or just pick it up in each level?
just do 100% full game
100% doesn't include soaps
Aren't some soaps in secrets too? If I remember correctly.
I would absolutely not be able to do it without a guide of some sort.
They are in some secrets at times, but they are not at all in all secrets, neither are they secrets in itself
SOmetimes bars of soaps are hidden away in locations you can miss even when doing Completionist, so reccomend you checking a guide
All you have to do is pick up the soap, donāt even have to finish the level
got the Thanksgiving message right when I beat my cero meido intruder run on the switch
truly blessed
is there a regular john
like a metal gear solid 3 situation with big boss/boss
did big john kill John
jakob 
finally just got dusk
Tell us how you like it
is it good, really good or amazing?
beyond
Let the man answer for himself
Why does spinning even exist
It's a funny joke in the game, because it has no reloading, R Becomes flipping your weapons
Then the Dev decided to make them do damage and added a achievement for that
Style points. Do a backflip, spin the shotgun, then smoke a cigar over the body.
Why do video games even exist
dunno
Masochism
The cigar exists entirely for Civvie to puff as he gazes upon E2M1.
Who
what?
no it exists so i can spend a solid five minutes being chased by a Leatherneck in Endless Mode cheesing myself to full HP
Definitely a fair use. I mostly just use it for style points.
... in... a singleplayer game.
... I won't make it weird if you won't.
Puffing a fat one
can you flip w the Cigar and deal damage with it
Reminds me, the humidor is in need of a refill.
At the rate of half a dozen cigars a year, I damn near keep forgetting it exists.
Most of them during Christmas.
Sniper zoom with the cigar
Ah yes, the mandatory accessory to activate the Clint Eastwood squint.
ok
Probably not, but you could probably kill an enemy with second hand smoke if try hard enough
You'll just heal them.
They donāt have lungs like you
I think a few enemies might have lungs
... god I hope they do, or the sounds they make becomes a damn sight creepier than they already are.
you should be able to puff at Horrors and OHKO them
Speaking of sounds, anyone else occasionally just marvel at the sound-design in DUSK?
There wasn't a single sound that ever became annoying to me.
Somehow.
Who doesnt?
I even liked the pistol sound, and usually that kind of anemic pop would drive me up the wall.
Civvie mentioned that in his review, that the sound design is well made and high quality stuff
Before he mentioned it, i didn't even noticed it
dusk
ok
e
š»
I dunno go ask #lifestyle
wife is finally playing dusk, she's losing g her shit over the soap gibing enemies
ok

the importance of good hygiene
dusk single-handedly getting an entire generation of gamers to bathe regularly
she's losing her shit over the ghost in the cutty mine now lol
Ok
I also like butt
Cero miedo dweller in darkness without quicksaving is such an amazing experience
I dislike duskmare so I donāt play it
iāve done a full run of the game on duskmare but itās not as fun at all
you have to play really conservative which isnāt as fun
CM is at least consistent lol
Generally so you can save quickly
well
wym why
like
?
itās to make things easier
and not agonizing
dusk is one of the best balanced games out there
itās hard for me to describe why quick saving exists because itās so broad
think of it as a manual checkpoint
imagine the functions of the checkpoint then make it manual
for example if the wanna fight the ||bone balls|| at the end embrace the darkness
you can quicksave
one of the big parts of dusk is speed running back to make progress
checkpoints only exist because consoles had memory limitations, the glorious pc master race always had quicksaves
- no
- theyāre hard
skill issue
theyāre objectively difficult on cero miedo+
well, it does
save scuming isnt fun
I agree
whenever I play the game I never really use them other than certain levels
you call it 'save scumming' I call it time saving
yes
yeah dweller of darkness
time is sadly a limited resource, aint nobody got time to git gud at every game and play the same section 10 times over
thatās the massive enemy wave one
quicksaving there ruins the entire level
oh yeah that
either way, the option is there for folks who are either taking their time to explore every nook and cranny of a level or there for folks who might be having trouble with a certain part of a level
yes I never save inbetween āroundsā
the important thing however is that its an option first and foremost
it makes it a lot easier
and ruins the fun of it
yeah theres nothing like just hopping around dodging all that shit where that amazing track plays in the background
taking the cowards way out is fatherless behavior
no ones forcing you to use the quicksave option
Dunno
ok
nope
crystal of madness on dweller is mega cringe
a sizeable portion
how long does the area last?
forever
wow that sounds like cringe
best level
yes thatās why I donāt use it on that level
it ruins the fight
no it just makes it boring
I forget are those hidden?
itās in a secret
in general though the crystals of madness are hilarious
in dweller
I like that quicksaving exists because it just lets you play how you want lol
wanna do single segment then don't quicksave, wanna save before a big battle or so you don't have to backtrack then quicksave
yeah thatās mainly why people do it
I've never finished a lot of games just because I was too lazy to go replay the 5 minutes to get back to where I was
and thats the best thing about Dusk, it allows both of those things to be accomplished š
Yea exactly, When I play a game for the first time I normally just save when I feel like it to keep the progress fun. If I wanna do a saveless run I'll just do that later after my first play
what do I gotta prove on my first chill play
finally got dusk
been playing through the levels
things ive learned since I got dusk
-holy shit I get lost in games easily
-I suck at ammo management
-diagonally moving is better than straight movement
-Dusk is as fun as I thought it would be
half life made me so much better at ammo management so now im mostly fine in dusk
do lots of jumping
i should probably stop playing dusk and ultrakill it just further fuels my probably-adhd inability to sit still under any circumstance
my brain has accelerated to levels that should not be possible
is this what it feels like to be high
I do
Dusk really scratches that exploration itch
Can you really call it a boomer shooter if you aren't spending 30 minutes on every level looking for all the possible secrets
I know that need for exploration all too well
I'm a big Survival Horror fan, so hunting for new items and resources is my bread and butter
The mark of basically anyone who's thrived in boomer shooters, RPGs and so on throughout the ages. "Oh, this is where I'm supposed to? Then I'mma head this other way."
With a downright phobia of hitting points of no return.
Oh man, that last one is horribe
All games should have a way to backtrack to places
I think that Dusk actually has that problem with the end of E3M4
Ever had that moment where you think you've figured out where the game wants you to go, find another route somewhere else, feel like you're very clever and then realize as the game spits you into a combat arena that you just got bamboozled?
Like that Duke3D level with the path behind the jailcell poster. I was convinced I was just such a great secret hunter and found something awesome, before I realized that was the actual intended path.
Bloody decades later and I still think about that moment.
Duke doin' me a heckin' bamboozle.
Good question
I say it's gotta be Jakob, because he's basically an NPC version of you, and it feels like you truly met your match
Everything else you can just spam away with Riveter
Dweller In Darkness.
Yes, I consider the entire damn level a boss.
One day I'll be Worthy enough to do a full Cero Miedo run, but it won't be today.
I just finished mine, it was hard at parts, but already knowing how the game works helps 100%
i always ask me that,who really is Jakob
you want spoilers?
man i played the whole game
ok, thats enough for me
A human who went through enough Demonic occult corruption to become the cult leader and secondary antagonist of the game
ok
when i played Dusk by first time i thinks jakob was the awareness of the duskguy
then in the E3M10 y saw him
You thought it was like, the consciousness of him?
and i think he was kidnapped too by the cult of the E, and he takes the rol of the duskguy but gets corrupted by the darkness
yes at first time, yes i thought that
@steady hull at first time, what do you think it was that voice
He Was Worthy.
When you have to help your brother move out so you can't play Dusk 
It was very obvious to me that was the villain
Like, Dusk just feels right to play
FIrst thing you hear when you start the game is Jakob saying "Kill the Intruder" and then chainsaws
He clearly wants you dead, he's the big villain you fight the entire game
But by the writtings I'm finding,, something more sinister is afoot
Well for starters, he's evil
xd
He's the head honcho of the Evil cult that took over the town of Dusk, corrupted thousands and killed many more
Tbf, 90s shooters weren't concerned about narrative. For what I understood, Duskdude is a treasure hunter came to Dusk for treasure and he was kidnapped because they needed a sacrifice
ohh!, maybe thats a reason
At first he just goes "Kill this random treasure hunter asshole who got into our turf", then the more you kill his minions, he starts to hate you more because you kill his beloved pet, the intoxicator, and it shows that you are a problem that needs to be dealth with
Intoxigator
Thank you
Then later on, he starts to see how impressive you are at killing enemies, and while he still does play Cat and Mouse games with you, laughing at you and teasing you when you fall into traps and other dangerous moments, he realizes that he actually wants to kill you himself, to show his god how worthy he truly is, as a final test to show his mighty affiliation to him
It backfires, because Duskdude is more worthy than Jakob, so he's killed by his own followers for being a scrub, and Duskdude gets ||taken in by the god that started it all||
wow
Most of the story is assumed, told through Enviromental story telling than actually straight up telling you what's happening
No problem
The final couple of levels is really where the story is 'nailed down' and it's only really || after you've killed Jakob and gets to see Stephan Weyte Nyarlathotep that it's all made clear. ||
Also, i think its kinda implied that all the sacrifices and gore structures gave Power to the corrupted Millitary to construct things like NeoBabel and the Teleports
It's hinted at earlier, with the || machines of bone and blood, altars of concrete and flesh, using His Sparks to take what man can not || and so on.
It's basically just a long environmentally told story of a Cult serving something ancient and evil.
Very Lovecraftian, via Doomguy.
Rather than the protagonist perishing in a nerve-wracked opium haze.
Game is great at telling the story through enviromental means
Like the best Boomer Shooters of yore.
... although that was to be fair kind of rare back then.
... you have no idea how hard it is to remain quiet about the enemy types to come.
Enjoy yourself to the fullest.
should i buy dusk
Yes.
It is good.
they do
are there chapters in dusk like acts in ultrakill?
Three Episodes.
oh boy can't wait to play it now
It'll just keep escalating the awesome all the way to the end.
Really good progression of level design and so on.
Well, you're in the DUSK channel. You're likely to be running into the turbofans here.
So take that into account when we gush about how much we like it.
yeah you're right lol
While you're at it, go buy AMID EVIL too. Another fantastic FPS, but like DUSK it's a bit different from the other two New Blood pieces of excellence.
They're both on sale, after all.
alright i'm checking that out too
wow amid evil looks sooooo good take my money now
bought amid evil
Then play the other Chapters, and your wish Will be granted
Some enemies are so iconic, they get entire Chapters Just dedicated to setting them up
how nice it is to have the full fps new blood trilogy
Is that a question or you're stating a fact?
Yes
stating a fact
someone said me to buy the trilogy
The demo was great, but i need to buy the game
But i do wanna wait for all acts to be finished
Theres like, what, 6 acts?
2 acts
5 levels each, one secret one in each?
there's like 3 parts on each act, each part has 5 levels and 1 secret mission
and every level has challenges for you to do
but only act 1 is finished
Ok, i meant Parts when i Said Act
So 6 Parts in total, all counting 6 levels inside
36 levels total, thats 3 more than Dusk
but there's only 1 part in act 2 for now lol
and the final part in every act only has 2 levels
so way less than dusk
but if you want to count secret missions
theres 4 layers and a prelude rn
final game will have 9 layers and 3 acts
Whoa, 3 acts?
12 actually
and a secret boss level
it could sound confusing, but you absolutely should buy ultrakill if you like dusk
It is sounding confusing as fuck to me, but im actually wanting to wait for the game to be more or less done
Even If It takes an extra year or two
yeah it's much simpler than it sounds
Otherwise im gonna be with an unfinished game, still eagerly waiting for more levels to play
anyways back to dusk
yeah i forgot that we're on the dusk chat
I'd say 'different' rather than 'better'. Much like the gameplay. They're both pretty damn peak in what they're going for, but they're going for slightly different things so it's a little bit like 'peak apple' vs 'peak pear'.
yeah, it being me opinion was presumed
Fair enough.
Think Thats because Dusk takes place all in the same world, so It takes time to expand on the world and show How fucked everything is
it's pretty funny how this entire discussion just started with me asking if i should buy dusk
While Amid Evil is 7 Worlds with different creeds and asthetics
Anyway, im so glad Boomer Shooters are making a comeback these days
Thanks to Doom 2016 reviving the entire genre
... are they though? I get the feeling we're past the peak and heading back into the trough. Dusk and AE were a couple of years ago no.
now*
We've gotten a lot of great ones and some are still in development, but we might be heading back into "two-guns slow asthmatic jog army gunwank" supremacy again.
At least from the AAAs.
boomer revival was mostly an indie thing anyway
You're kinda right, but we still got stuff like Realms Deep, showing all these other great indie games making hits with the crowd
Yeah, the indie scene will remain our saviour, I guess.
And we're still getting things like Project Warlock 2, WRATH when they finish that, Prodeus etc.
Not to mention that Millitary Shooters are in a horrible time themselves, have you see the score for CoD Vanguard and the New Battlefield?
Halo is doing great tho, but that series was always good
I kind of suspect that's because they're all shit reskin shovelware rather than true AAA releases, not so much the genre.
Thats actually not It
They're worse than Just reskins, they're Buggy, boring messes who Just work worse than before, leaving to many fans to declare these games as the worst of their franchises
That'd be the 'shit' part, yes.
I'm quite glad I haven't touched either franchise in ages.
dusk scares me
Eh, I've never been a Halo guy. I can't really vibe with games designed with consoles in mind, in general. It's not universally true, but mostly they're designed to be slower and I just don't find them fun.
As it should. Don't worry, you'll always be the scariest thing on a level. It'll be fine.
poetic
Like I said earlier, it's Lovecraft Via Doomguy.
So nice and scary, but in that knuckle-crackin' way.
i never tried 2016, played eternal though and wasnt a fan. heard 2016 was much better but since i dont have it ill assume its good
I dont know if boomer shooters are on the rise again, BUT retro styled games? Most Definitely yes in that department.
have been since cave story
Don't worry, you're the real danger in this game
Really? I heard it the other way around you know, Eternal being everything 2016 was but better
It increases morale, which is basically Armor in Dusk.
Rivets is ammunition for the Riveter, which is basically the Rocket Launcher.
If you check around for secrets, you'll know
You'll find one early if you secret hunt, yeah.
Thanks a lot man
Secret Hunting makes the game a lot easier, it's downright necessary for Cero Miedo
You finish the game without secrets on Cero Miedo, you're a god
i always wonderd what moral did thanks
I thought i'd make this funny but i realized i already have and even then i wasn't the first
Duskmare is basically a meme, you get hit one single time, ya dead
