I got dusk when I paid for it.

soap

torn galleon

I would like to understand how you understand the names of games in English

soap is good

i hate how dusk doesnt have an auto pause when u tab out

They fixed that issue with dusk82

the game never moves when you dont move!

@torn galleon, please keep all discussions in English.

dusk82 has Andrew's chiptune soundtrack too, it's great

Oh yeah I noticed that with the Keepers of the Gate soundtrack.

Nice.

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.

lament wharf
#

That too.

quartz herald
#

And you can remote detonate it

lament wharf
#

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.

quartz herald
#

I like riviter more but its still really powerfull

steady hull
lament wharf
#

That's it, we're throwing hands. When DUSK gets hand models.

upbeat pecan
#

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

wise crane
#

This guy gets it

grave saddle
#

Slower projectile, useful for not blowing thr shit out of yourself.

lament wharf
#

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.

lament wharf
#

Also, the rat wave in Dweller in Darkness? MORTAR TIME.

#

Gather them all up and just ponk ponk massive gib.

grave saddle
#

This is the only way to beat that wave on Duskmare.

dull moss
#

finally worthy! BIGJOHN

#

Thanks David!

#

no

grave saddle
#

You get to brag about it.

upbeat pecan
#

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

wise crane
#

Or just remove ~~mortar ~~

upbeat pecan
#

lol

wise crane
#

But really though

olive cloud
#

singleplayer mortar is good

wise crane
crimson folio
#

why not make the riv shoot mortars and the mortars shoot swords with the sdk?

#

Dusk 92 was an

#

…interesting choice

unkempt condor
#

dusk 92 exists?

lapis widget
upbeat pecan
#

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

misty swift
#

im not sure if i wanna buy dusk 82, not sure if its my type of game but idk might be fun

fallow echo
#

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

proven sinew
#

I think they're saying "nyarlathotep" in weird engrish

lunar sleet
#

i like shooting things should i buy dusk

lament wharf
#

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.

lunar sleet
#

too late

#

made up my mind

#

buying the game soon

lament wharf
#

Good man. Prove yourself Worthy.

#

... and go in as blind as you can, that just improves the experience.

lunar sleet

#

I've just replayed Quake and wow, the similarities between it and Dusk is uncanny. I love it

lament wharf
#

DUSK really sometimes plays like a heavily polished Quake, with more level variety and better level design in general.

stiff cobalt
#

That's also very evident, no offence to Quake

clever heath
#

Can’t believe Quake stole from Dusk smh my balls

dull moss
#

Quake is actually based on Dusk 1982

clever heath
#

Holy shit

steady hull
#

Wow, no way

lament wharf
#

Damn that John Carmack, inventing timetravel just to go steal game ideas from the future.

steady hull
#

He's capable of it

#

Alternate universe where Dusk happened first and Doom is a boomer shooter revival

grave saddle
#

Alternate universe in which Szymanski is making Sigel 2?

steady hull
clever heath
#

True

upbeat pecan
#

Doom easter eggs in Dusk, Dusk easter eggs in Doom eternal. Full circle lol

stiff cobalt
#

Is there actually Dusk stuff in Eternal?

clever heath
#

Alas, I don’t believe so

stiff cobalt
#

Aw dang

dull moss
#

There is the soap in eternal

stiff cobalt
#

On God?

dull moss
stiff cobalt
#

Wow, neat. I never noticed it before. Then again, I didn't hear of Dusk until it released on the glorified gaming tablet

clever heath
#

Oooo

dull moss

better picture if the pixels dont load for you

S o a p+

ancient holly

#

Yep, it's soap

lunar sleet
#

before i buy the game

#

are there guns in it?

dull moss
#

yes

lunar sleet
#

ahhh ok

#

thanks or the info

misty swift
#

alright then

steady hull
#

Is Soap in games just naturally a reference to DUSK now?

lunar sleet
#

i have bought dusk

steady hull
#

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

raw willow
misty swift
#

whats a boomer shooter anyways? ive heard the term thrown around but

lapis widget
#

Genre of FPS based on games from the 99’s

misty swift
#

ah

#

so, my favorite category

lapis widget
#

As it is many

steady hull
#

Man i was right to fear Chapter 3 in Cero Miedo, this shit is hard

lunar sleet
#

u have done that

#

i am like 4 levels in

steady hull
#

Alright, how you liking it so far?

faint quail
#

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

lapis widget
#

seems about right

steady hull
#

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

faint quail
#

I mean I did play shittons of Unreal Tournament so not exactly my first boomer shooter

#

maybe that was why

steady hull
#

Well that explains it

#

I'm more of a Jack of All Trades, but i'm really good with third person shooters

misty swift
#

whats the fastest duskmare speedrun i wonder

sonic cairn
#

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

lapis widget
#

rivets

faint quail
#

pretend its gears of war and take cover

#

they’re the only enemy in dusk you basically have to take cover for

sonic cairn
#

Damn, no bs bunnyhopping

lament wharf
#

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.

faint quail
#

splash damage makes it so there really isn’t a reliable dodging strat, thus cover

steady hull
lunar sleet
#

i'm speedrunning fallen aces as a break

steady hull
#

Didnt you already clocked at 48 seconds now?

#

Also yeah, Dusk has amazing sound design

sonic cairn
#

Fuck

#

Wave 17, I was at 10 health for the past 9 waves

grave saddle
#

Cigar, man.

#

Use it.

sonic cairn
#

I thought Cigar was morale only?

grave saddle
#

It's health.

lapis widget
#

No,it’s health

sonic cairn
#

...

#

MOTHERFUCKER

grave saddle
#

One hit point per puff.

#

You can swap immediately after clicking.

sonic cairn
#

I WAS RUNNING AROUND SCROUNGING HEALTH POTIONS LIKE A GOBLIN

lapis widget
mint parrot
#

Imo health pickup should be added to the endless maps

#

Cigar slows the game down

crimson folio
#

game's already out

grave saddle
#

Cigar slows the game down? It's a quick swap puff and back to action.

#

You don't have to watch the whole animation.

lapis widget
#

Plus you can still move

#

It’s not the intended means of healing,but it’s fun and useful

lunar sleet
mint parrot
#

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

mint parrot
faint quail
#

not reliably

upbeat pecan
#

still better just to fast kill with rivets but they don't track faster than you move

tardy slate
#

get dunked on lmao

upbeat pecan

closer you get harder the timing

lethal finch

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. tothetop

god dusk is the scariest fps i have ever played

#

lol

steady hull
#

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

lunar sleet
#

i've gotten spooked a couple times

#

fun game though

steady hull
#

Oh yeah, it does a great job spooking me as well, first time that is

lunar sleet
#

i also like that bhopping makes you go really damn fast

#

it's so fun

steady hull
#

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

lunar sleet
#

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

crimson folio
#

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.

west sedge
lunar sleet
#

i see

crimson folio
#

isn't that what happened?

west sedge
#

you’re 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

unkempt condor
#

but cult inside dusk

#

then army comes but gets possessed by cult

west sedge
#

yeah

#

also it’s not said that the soldiers are actually apart of an army

#

could just be some random mercenary army or some shit

misty swift
#

i thought dusk was your hometown? i heard something about yhat but i havent even finished the game

steady hull
#

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

rain elbow
#

my headcanon is that they were doomsday preppers thar got indoctrinated

lament wharf
steady hull
#

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

lament wharf
#

The military presence read to me like a Waco situation. The cult gained enough notoriety that they sent in the goons.

west sedge
#

I forgot there’s a comic i’m basing my information off of the game

#

oop

steady hull
#

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

misty swift
#

theres a comic?

#

what?

west sedge
#

yes

misty swift
#

where can i obtain

steady hull
#

Link please?

sudden yew
#

Its in the Intruder version of the game iirc

steady hull
#

The what?

misty swift
#

you cant buy it separately

sudden yew
#

Technicaly "Deluxe" version,
Its the base game + The graphic novel and soundtrack

misty swift
#

meaning id have to rebuy the game? i think anyways idk how it works

#

ooh congrats hope you enjoy it

sudden yew
misty swift
#

its simply amazing

#

oh?

sudden yew
#

If you enjoy the soundtrack and you want the graphic novel/comic as well, then yes

#

You can

misty swift
#

yeah the ost is on spotify

#

maybe other things idk

lament wharf
#

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.

misty swift
#

i see the ost in the dlc section but not the comic

sudden yew
#

Yes, its in PDF

misty swift
#

how does an upgrade work?

sudden yew
#

And the Soundtrack you get from intruder edition is in .wav and .mp3

misty swift
#

kinda wish there was a physical copy itd be cool

#

ah .wav is better quality right?

sudden yew
#

yes

#

higher quality then mp3

lament wharf
#

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.

sudden yew
#

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?

misty swift
#

yeah its my account

sudden yew
#

Hmmmm

misty swift
#

says intruder is $15 but also because its on sale it hink?

sudden yew
#

Yes, intruder is 30 dolars normaly

misty swift
#

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

sudden yew
#

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

glacial zephyr
#

susk

lament wharf
#

Okay you definitely want to finish the game before reading the comic, that's pretty clear.

sudden yew
#

Oh yeah

misty swift
#

good to know

sudden yew
#

The comic is full of spoilers

misty swift
#

man id love a physical copy of the comic lol itd be cool to have sitting in my room

sudden yew
#

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

lament wharf
#

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.

sudden yew
#

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)

lament wharf
#

Bunch of lovely little extras in there.

#

Wallpapers and stuff.

sudden yew
#

Those come with the base game, no?

#

Should be under bonus folder or something like that

lament wharf
#

"goodies".

#

Wasn't aware of that before I just checked.

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

My dad is playing dusk on switch while we're traveling

Crazy world I live in

steady hull
#

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

rain elbow
#

first wave is the hardest imo

misty swift

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

steady hull

One arena, endless enemies

#

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

steady hull
#

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

rain elbow
#

you are now worthy, my friend god

steady hull
#

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

rain elbow
#

remember to come back and get all achievements when the time comes

grave saddle
#

Yeah, doing it on Duskmare is a task fit for no one.

steady hull
#

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

upbeat pecan
#

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

steady hull
#

Duskmare is what really turns this game into a Tactical shooter

upbeat pecan
#

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

steady hull
#

Yeah, i don't see the point of DM

upbeat pecan
#

It's not my thing, but I see why some like the change of pace

steady hull
#

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

upbeat pecan
#

I've played it a massive amount just to really feel like I had judged it fair lol

#

CM will always be my favorite

grave saddle
#

I've done E3M9 on Duskmare.

#

I don't recommend it.

steady hull
#

No way

grave saddle
#

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.

Well

#

Dusk dude had family
Some shit happened
He lost family.

lament wharf
#

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.

jade root
#

bearded man is stabbed so he proceeds to stab everyone in the zip code back

lament wharf
#

I mean, it starts with him tearing himself off some meathooks as they try to kill him.

#

He's called Dusk Dude.

jade root
#

ye

crimson folio
#

Not exactly his name.

jade root
#

dusk dude

crimson folio
#

We just call him that.

#

Like Doomguy.

#

Duskdude.

jade root
#

thats what everyone refers to him by

lament dawn

duskdude

#

duskssg

#

dusksupershotgun

lament wharf
#

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.

crimson folio
#

In 5 seconds, I think.

#

is just screams

lament wharf
#

Well, there's also the text snippet if you look at the picture.

lament dawn
#

jakob was easier then the twins ngl

#

Yeah I did.

Both were easy.

#

Except for Mama.

Fuck that boss.

lament dawn
#

ok

lament wharf
#

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.

unkempt condor
#

big john was easy

lament wharf
#

... and that Guardian boss, took me a few tries before I got the message that he's way faster than he looks.

crimson folio
#

E3M9 was

#

something.

unkempt condor
#

e3m9 was

lament wharf
#

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.

crimson folio
#

Yeah.

unkempt condor
#

was e3m9 that blue sheet with hordes of enemies

crimson folio
#

I died a lot of times on Ciero Miedo, I'm gonna lose my fucking mind in E3M9.

lament wharf
#

yeh, Dweller in Darkness.

crimson folio
#

Jakob.

#

Also, that's the Intoxigator lo.

#

Not a rat.

lament wharf
#

Jakob is...

#

... let's just say Cult Leader and leave it there until you get around to him.

crimson folio
#

Yeah.

unkempt condor
#

intoxigator is an alligator

lament wharf
#

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.

crimson folio
#

"???"

unkempt condor
#

yes

lament wharf
#

CONFIRMATIVE

steady hull
#

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||

lament wharf
#

"He was worthy, you know."

steady hull
#

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

grave saddle
#

Dusk Dude is the most worthy.

steady hull
#

But there will be someone else

#

Someone more worthy, who will take his place

grave saddle
#

They will have to beat me first.

sonic cairn
#

For the soap achievement, do I have to kill someone/something with it or just pick it up in each level?

dull moss
sonic cairn
#

Fair enough

#

Just didn't wanna do this for ~2 hours and get fucked over

desert oak
#

just do 100% full game

lament wharf
#

You have to glitch the soap into Jakob's room.

#

And kill him with it.

sonic cairn
lament wharf
#

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.

steady hull
#

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

upbeat pecan
#

All you have to do is pick up the soap, don’t even have to finish the level

Why does spinning even exist

steady hull
#

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

lament wharf

... god I hope they do, or the sounds they make becomes a damn sight creepier than they already are.

magic trout
#

you should be able to puff at Horrors and OHKO them

lament wharf
#

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.

lament wharf
#

I even liked the pistol sound, and usually that kind of anemic pop would drive me up the wall.

Cero miedo dweller in darkness without quicksaving is such an amazing experience

#

I dislike duskmare so I don’t play it

#

i’ve done a full run of the game on duskmare but it’s not as fun at all

#

you have to play really conservative which isn’t as fun

upbeat pecan
#

CM is at least consistent lol

lament dawn
#

quicksaving is a thing?

#

why

knotty tinsel
#

Generally so you can save quickly

misty swift
#

well

west sedge
#

like

#

?

#

it’s to make things easier

#

and not agonizing

#

dusk is one of the best balanced games out there

#

it’s hard for me to describe why quick saving exists because it’s so broad

#

think of it as a manual checkpoint

#

imagine the functions of the checkpoint then make it manual

lament dawn
#

yeah but like

#

the levels are so short

west sedge
#

for example if the wanna fight the ||bone balls|| at the end embrace the darkness

#

you can quicksave

lament dawn
#

one of the big parts of dusk is speed running back to make progress

dull moss

checkpoints only exist because consoles had memory limitations, the glorious pc master race always had quicksaves

well, it does

save scuming isnt fun

I agree

lament dawn

ty

west sedge
#

whenever I play the game I never really use them other than certain levels

you call it 'save scumming' I call it time saving

that’s the massive enemy wave one

quicksaving there ruins the entire level

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

west sedge
valid dew

the important thing however is that its an option first and foremost

west sedge

it makes it a lot easier

and ruins the fun of it

lament dawn

just go to the cowards way out

yeah theres nothing like just hopping around dodging all that shit where that amazing track plays in the background

upbeat pecan
#

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

west sedge
#

yeah that’s mainly why people do it

upbeat pecan
#

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

west sedge
#

not everyone wants to die and go through everything all over again

#

but I do

valid dew
#

and thats the best thing about Dusk, it allows both of those things to be accomplished šŸ™‚

upbeat pecan
#

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

glass plover
#

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

misty swift
#

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

misty swift
#

is this what it feels like to be high

glass plover
mystic moth
#

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

steady hull
#

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

lament wharf
#

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.

steady hull
#

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

lament wharf
#

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.

twin crystal
#

who is the best boss in the whole game

#

?

steady hull
#

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

lament wharf
#

Dweller In Darkness.
Yes, I consider the entire damn level a boss.

steady hull
#

Fair

#

I couldn't even finish the first wave on Cero Miedo, took the easy way out

lament wharf
#

One day I'll be Worthy enough to do a full Cero Miedo run, but it won't be today.

steady hull
#

I just finished mine, it was hard at parts, but already knowing how the game works helps 100%

twin crystal
#

i always ask me that,who really is Jakob

lament dawn
twin crystal
#

man i played the whole game

lament dawn
#

jakob is that guy talkin to you

#

2nd last boss

twin crystal
#

but he is a human?

#

or a demon?

lament dawn
#

i dunno

#

looks human enough

twin crystal
#

ok, thats enough for me

steady hull
# twin crystal or a demon?

A human who went through enough Demonic occult corruption to become the cult leader and secondary antagonist of the game

twin crystal
#

ok

#

when i played Dusk by first time i thinks jakob was the awareness of the duskguy

#

then in the E3M10 y saw him

steady hull
#

You thought it was like, the consciousness of him?

twin crystal
#

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

twin crystal
#

@steady hull at first time, what do you think it was that voice

lament wharf
twin crystal
#

its so weird the way to be worthy using dusklogic

#

for me

young cedar
#

When you have to help your brother move out so you can't play Dusk dying

steady hull
#

It was very obvious to me that was the villain

young cedar
#

Like, Dusk just feels right to play

steady hull
#

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

twin crystal
#

so he wants to kill me, but why

#

thats the part i didn't undertand the game

young cedar
#

But by the writtings I'm finding,, something more sinister is afoot

steady hull
twin crystal
#

xd

steady hull
#

He's the head honcho of the Evil cult that took over the town of Dusk, corrupted thousands and killed many more

young cedar
twin crystal
#

ohh!, maybe thats a reason

steady hull
#

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

young cedar
#

Intoxigator

steady hull
#

Thank you

twin crystal
#

a ok

#

now i understand

steady hull
#

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||

twin crystal
#

wow

steady hull
#

Most of the story is assumed, told through Enviromental story telling than actually straight up telling you what's happening

twin crystal
#

now i realize

#

thanks dude

steady hull
#

No problem

lament wharf
#

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. ||

steady hull
#

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

lament wharf
#

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.

steady hull
#

Game is great at telling the story through enviromental means

lament wharf
#

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.

sour tinsel
#

should i buy dusk

#

Yes.

sour tinsel
#

alright

#

ok i bought it this better be good

It is good.

sour tinsel
#

are there chapters in dusk like acts in ultrakill?

lament wharf
#

Three Episodes.

sour tinsel
#

oh boy can't wait to play it now

lament wharf
#

It'll just keep escalating the awesome all the way to the end.

#

Really good progression of level design and so on.

sour tinsel
#

you're hyping me a lot for it

#

but hey i'm not complaining

lament wharf
#

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.

sour tinsel
#

yeah you're right lol

lament wharf
#

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.

sour tinsel
#

alright i'm checking that out too

#

wow amid evil looks sooooo good take my money now

#

bought amid evil

steady hull
#

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

sour tinsel
#

how nice it is to have the full fps new blood trilogy

steady hull
#

Is that a question or you're stating a fact?

upbeat pecan
#

Yes

sour tinsel
#

someone said me to buy the trilogy

steady hull
#

Did you play all games?

#

Only think i played of Ultrakill was the Demo

sour tinsel
#

i played every act of ultrakill

#

but i never played amid evil or dusk

steady hull
#

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?

sour tinsel
#

2 acts

steady hull
#

5 levels each, one secret one in each?

sour tinsel
#

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

steady hull
#

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

sour tinsel
#

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

rain elbow
#

final game will have 9 layers and 3 acts

steady hull
#

Whoa, 3 acts?

rain elbow
#

each act with 10 levels

#

2 secret levels

sour tinsel
#

12 actually

rain elbow
#

and a secret boss level

sour tinsel
#

it could sound confusing, but you absolutely should buy ultrakill if you like dusk

steady hull
#

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

rain elbow
#

much easier when you see the level select menu

#

sadly i dont have my laptop eith me

sour tinsel
#

yeah it's much simpler than it sounds

steady hull
#

Otherwise im gonna be with an unfinished game, still eagerly waiting for more levels to play

rain elbow
#

anyways back to dusk

sour tinsel
#

yeah i forgot that we're on the dusk chat

rain elbow
#

the aestehtics of this game are peak

#

better than even amid evil

lament wharf
# rain elbow better than even amid evil

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'.

rain elbow
#

yeah, it being me opinion was presumed

lament wharf
#

Fair enough.

steady hull
#

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

sour tinsel
#

it's pretty funny how this entire discussion just started with me asking if i should buy dusk

steady hull
#

While Amid Evil is 7 Worlds with different creeds and asthetics

sour tinsel
#

alright FINALLY amid evil is done downloading

#

but i'm going to play dusk first

lament wharf
#

Have fun, either one.

#

Become Worthy.

steady hull
#

Anyway, im so glad Boomer Shooters are making a comeback these days

#

Thanks to Doom 2016 reviving the entire genre

lament wharf
#

... 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.

rain elbow
steady hull
#

You're kinda right, but we still got stuff like Realms Deep, showing all these other great indie games making hits with the crowd

lament wharf
#

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.

steady hull
#

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

lament wharf
#

I kind of suspect that's because they're all shit reskin shovelware rather than true AAA releases, not so much the genre.

steady hull
#

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

lament wharf
#

That'd be the 'shit' part, yes.

#

I'm quite glad I haven't touched either franchise in ages.

steady hull
#

Yeah, good call

#

Do check out the Free Halo multiplayer tho, that looks like Fun

sour tinsel
#

dusk scares me

lament wharf
#

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.

lament wharf
lament wharf

Like I said earlier, it's Lovecraft Via Doomguy.

It increases morale, which is basically Armor in Dusk.

steady hull
#

Shards?

#

You mean rivets?

#

That's ammo

#

You'll see

lament wharf
