This game is hard as shit, how do i get good?

Try playing on the easier difficulties till know the maps like its your own neighborhood

Memorize the placement of the hitscanners

Hitscan utterly ruins Blood for me.

Bounce TNT behind every corner
Don't stup running and jumping
Flaregun's alt fire is godsent

you're literally 2slow if hitscan's your issue.

BLOOD 3 WHEN?

Who owns the intellectual property to blood now? They barely care about blood as it is

according to wikipedia (in a special section talking about the rights)
>3D Realms sold Monolith the intellectual property (IP) so 3D Realms could make Shadow Warrior. Monolith sold the publishing rights, but not the IP for Blood and its sequel to GT Interactive. GTI was later acquired by Infogrames, which has since been renamed to Atari. Monolith itself was acquired by Warner Bros. Entertainment, which owns the Blood trademark and intellectual property.[7] Atari re-released Blood and Blood 2 on Steam and GOG, but unlike other Build engine games (Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior), the source code for Blood has not yet been released.

tl;dr version: Warner Brothers own Blood now
so don't get your hopes up for another game, and even if they do decide to revive the IP, it will be a piece of shit judging by WB's recent track record in gaming

>atari owns publishing rights
>WB owns IP rights

so basically we are never getting another Blood game because publishers don't like working together (or as they call it "spreading the profits")
fuck the legal system

OPEN FOR BUSINESS never again

I hate webms like this

Wow you played a level a billion times and know where every enemy is before you even turn a corner.

Am I supposed to be impressed?

WE WANT JOJO! WE WANT JOJO!

Is there a mod for this game that allows you to look/aim with your mouse? and move with WASD? I just can't get used to the original controls

AFAIK you don't really need to mod it at all to get that, just rebind the movement to WASD from the main menu and then while in-game press "u" for mouselook

someone has been working on a sourceport (through reverse engineering, since Blood source code was never released) called Blood GDX, look that up to make things easier

Thoughts on the orbital canon?

Find the secrets bonuses. You will be okay.

is it better to play with or without auto aim?

Play Shadow Warrior.

On. Vertical aim is still a bit wonky.
But set "toggle mouse aim" to a hotkey you can access quickly, in case you need to make a high throw with the dynamite, or shoot those fucking gargoyles

I already did, love that game and it's reboot & sequal, FPSs were truly great in the mid to late 90's.

MARANOX POLLUX

I LIVE, AGAIN.

but by the logic of this .webm you should hide at every corner to make sure you can stunlock every hitscanner before they fire on you

Open up the console and type god.

>Wow you played a level a billion times and know where every enemy is before you even turn a corner.
I literally played the game for the first time in fall 2015, and practically played like that all the time: bombed every dark corner and orifice, strafe-jump at every turn with Tommy singing.

The sooner you learn the "better safe than sorry" way of playing, the quicker you learn to enjoy BLOOD.

Are you playing it with gdxBlood? It's an okay port but makes the game more difficult, at least for me, due to some sudden performance drops

Throw TNT everywhere. The game throws it at you like confetti. Starting off, especially in the first episode is generally a pain in the ass yeah but once you start getting your hands on decent gear it gets much easier

>Are you playing it with gdxBlood?
Yeah but i never got any FPS drops.

just crouch and jump nonstop

...

It's not really performance drops as in dropped FPS but more like some stuttering. Frame times are good as well.
I haven't had this problem with other build engine games, so I'm going to blame it on the java port.

Is anyone else amazed at how high quality the extra content for this game is?

Both expansion episodes are 10/10, and Death Wish is arguably THE best mod EVER made for ANY game.

Never stop moving.
If anything on screen is moving, never stop shooting.
If everything has stopped moving, throw TNT around anyway.

Reminder that BloodGDX is out and its a decent source port for Blood. Make sure to get mousefix too for best experience.

Started playing new version of Death Wish recently and its top notch. Level design is unbelievably creative.

I know what you mean. Though not in the main game, I did get FPS drops in Death Wish mod with BloodGDX. It's usually around 60 but sometimes hits 30 FPS. Not sure what it is but regardless its better than mobile phone tier resolutions I play with DOSbox

Crouching helps with the hitscanners immensely. Try it

is the weapons mod good?

What weapons mod?

the one that adds a revolver and the beta version of the riot shotgun

Seems to have good reviews. Never saw the need for a weapons mod in Blood. Every role feels fulfilled and guns are satisfying to use.

Start on very easy and savescum. Even on lower difficulties, Blood is hard as shit until you get the hang of things
Finding the secrets makes things way easier too

Ed Boon could probaby make a good Blood game, however he only ever made fighting games

Crouch. There are many enemies like both types of Gargoyles, the Ghosts and the final boss that simply can't damage you if you crouch.

The difficulty settings are glitched. Enemy damage is reversed so the lowest setting has the highest damaging enemies. It's best just to play on normal.
