Fun Fact: at the end of level 2 you can actually jump past the "capture" and activate the level end allowing you to skip level 3. Its used in speed running. You need either steroids or a jet pack. The bars only come up and capture you from a ground trigger. So just go over it. I don't know why but the level end is an actual level end button. It is a little finicky though. You have to hit it at an angle rather than straight on. They could have just made it a picture but they programed in an actual level end. And since there is an automatic level end at the end of the level you can leave with a credit of two level ends and it just skips the third level.

Interesting piece of trivia: the CD version of Duke Nukem 3D came with all of the editing utilities that were used to put the game together. This included a level editor and a .art file editor that allowed you to edit the in-game graphics. ...A .art file editing program that had a detailed palette of skin-tones already built into it... Bundled with a game that already contained scantily-clad women. Yeah, the devs knew EXACTLY what they were doing with that one. I'll never forget the first time I logged into a local BBS and realized that the .art file I'd edited as a 13 year old and uploaded randomly one day after school (which included un-pastied boobs on the strippers, _among other things_ ) had somehow managed to spread across the entirety of the digital landscape of my city in the space of about a fortnight.

@gromaniak16 He's the face of Gearbox Software, like Todd Howard is to Bethesda, or Gabe Newell is to Valve. Because of that, all of the company's mistakes and shitty practices are his responsibility, at least in the eyes of the gaming community. However, that isn't to say the hate is unjustified as both Gearbox and he himself seem to have been working really hard to be as unlikable as possible. Duke Nukem Forever was a soulless, rushed flop that fans had been waiting for for 25 years, whereas Aliens: Colonial Marines was the most 2013 shooter of 2013, and had non-functioning AI caused by a single typo. As for their attitudes towards fans, Pitchford basically bounced back from the poor reception of DNF by moving on to flogging a shitty re-release of the original DN3d, while suing the developers of the eduke32 source port because it threatens sales. On a personal level, he allegedly misappropriated company funds totalling 12 million, and has a thing for "barely legal" porn and hosting parties where adults expose themselves to children, but that's neither here nor there. TLDR: Shitty business practices, carelessly rushed games from beloved franchises, and being an absolute creepshow, while being totally unapologetic about all three.

Marathon also has tricks to make it feel like a real space too, though not as much as Duke 3D. And this was the same year as Doom 2: rooms over rooms were done simply by overlapping sectors over the lower floors and even though the upper ones had to be bigger, you could resize those sectors to whatever you wanted and so long as their polygon shapes remained convex the engine wouldn't care. Hotplate polygons (my name for hurt floors), mostly lava were usually animated in such a way as to look like real liquid, which Duke also did Vertical Mouselook Crosshairs (I don't know if the original Mac releases had them, but Aleph One certainly does) You could interact with computer terminals like the emails in Deus Ex and the audio logs in both the floppy disk and Enhanced versions of System Shock 1 (also the same year as Marathon) You had whole levels in vacuum, with the sourceport adding the ability to make only certain areas vacuum, courtesy of a script by Liacrow (Duke 3D had that too but never used it) The 5D space technology used by the RAR system above was rarely used for 5D environments ala Lunetic Fringe Branching level paths were included in the engine but unused because the branch points were the two escort missions, where you had to save crewmen with the worst friendly AI since vanilla Daikatana. You bet your ass modders took full advantage of the "Plank" system in their own WADs, like Eternal and Rubicon. You could grenade jump like in Quake before Quake's time and even before Rise of the Triad. The Grenade Climbing I mentioned in a one of your Doom videos as well as the "wall walking" jump extension trick is an evolved form of that and in low gravity areas, you could use the flamethrower as a jetpack like Duke Nukem 2. All sadly nerfed in the sequels, though wall walking still works somewhat. Wait, that's not a realism trick... Duel wielding weapons such as the starting pistol so unlike Doom, your pistol doesn't suck once you get the second one. Marathon 2 in 1995 added a couple of new things before Duke 3D did too, namely swimming in real liquids, which was available per polygon height with no invisible teleporters at the surface needed (I think Build did it that way?) and used the lighting engine to simulate flow and tide. Sadly, liquids were linked to texture sets so you could only have one per map, but the sourceport Aleph One removes that pesky limitation. Dual wielded super shotguns like in DUSK and the ability to punch with both fists instead of one. Ambient noise (but no music unlike Marathon 1 and the best mods, which is bullshit) Unique multiplayer modes besides classic deathmatch, such as Tag, King of the Hill and Oddball. Yes, Oddball debuted in Marathon. Marathon Infinity was the Doom 2 for Marathon so while it still kicked ass, it only added an SMG with a pathetically small magazine, too many vacuum levels, minor plot holes regarding changes to the level design during development and a consumer edition of the level Editor for the original Vulcan 2 engine, called Forge and a physics editor called Anvil. Aleph One uses Weland (a partially limit removing but ultimately inferior version of Forge, the latter due to a missing 3D texturing/height adjustment mode like modern Doom engine and Build editors have), ShapeFusion for physics and Atique for merging maps into WAD files (called .sceA). Most other Marathon fans call A1 wad files maps, after the term in the Forge manual, which is confusing as fuck.

In Duke Nukem 64, you could save the babes by interacting with them - which I preferred as opposed to leaving them or killing them. This could be because of the Nintendo censorship they put on Duke 64, removing a ton of the sexual content if not all. What's weird is, Duke 64 is so much different from 3D when it comes to a lot of the levels. I'll never forget the "Good Morning, Clarice" easter egg in Death Row for example. Weapons and sounds were different and Dukebots existed, even if they sucked and would go fuck walls all the damn time. Pistol gained a new ammunition type called DumDum Bullets, Shotgun got Explosive Shells equal to a Rocket's damage and the Rocket itself? Heat-seeking missiles. Despite the removal of music, Duke Nukem 64 had its charm - its own reason to be played.

The rocket launcher replaced the devastator in DN64, the current rocket launcher was a grey-tinted shadow warrior grenade launcher instead. Explosions were also in 3D on the N64, creating copious amounts of lag. Oh and the freeze launcher was replaced by the plasma gun, which just phazed enemies out of existence.

Played it in Coop/Deathmatch LAN with my brother in 1997. Sooo much fun. Quake was more ...well...a "normal" shooter. But I liked it a bit more (in singleplayer). For me Quake was also above Doom.

Not even close. At least Bethesda Game Studios's main problem is that they're overly enthusiastic on experimentation with their games and they achieve this with mixed results like no actual NPCs in Fallout 76 or the dialogue choices in Fallout 4 and they often leave RPG stats out in their modern games, to the point where Fallout 4 is a glorified Shooter. Based on feedback on Wastelanders, they do seem to understand how to make a Fallout game as Fallout 76 Wastelanders is the most Fallout game since New Vegas. What I'm getting at is that BSG's treatment on Fallout is no where near as bad as Gearbox's treatment on Duke Nukem. A better example would be Peter Molyneux with the Fable franchise because his direction with the main games killed any potential that they could've had while shitcanning Lionhead Studios and then fucking off to make Godus.
