Liquidator 2: Welcome to Hell

В игре присутствует защита от пиратов, при погружении в воду на весь экран появляется линзированый смайл с надписью Checker. Так вот купив эту игру я наблюдаю таки эту надпись. Это как понимать?

--------------------------- Internal error --------------------------- Unexpected error has been detected Application will be closed --------------------------- OK --------------------------- The only way for me to launch the game on my main setup was XP SP3 and admin mode with https://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/ using the 9800GT option, the problem with using that is that the ingame video settings appears to get stuck on a loading scene. However i was able to force the resolution with the dgvoodoo2 application, this is a good enough solution until the game receives updates. Yes, I have tried compatiblity mode without the wrapper, that only produces the error above.. If you get no error and the game dont seem to load try restarting your pc, did happened to me while troubleshouting. Another option is dxvk, however in this title that seem to impact performance more than the other wrapper in this particular game. With dxvk i was able to get into the settings menu however... https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases On my Win10 laptop with HD5500 i3 5005U or something the game worked out of the box.... However the game didnt seem to close on exit there either.. I want to see more of these old titles on steam, so I'm giving it a positive review.

“Welcome to Hell” - Jeez Louise, they weren’t kidding with a name like that! Years ago when I was in my teens, I practically scrubbed Filefront clean of every demo I could get my hands on, one of them was a Demo for Liquidator 2 and by golly was it short! However, its weapon selection was pretty rad to me at the time and while I later went on to collect Slavjank on the cheap, I could never properly find a copy of Liquidator 2 to put on my shelf. And now, a good 17 or so years later I find a whole slew of Slavjank has launched onto the steam with little warning, with Liquidator 2 among them! So, after all this time, I can finally say my inability to nab a physical copy of Liquidator 2 saved myself a lot of unnecessary suffering… Alright, let’s be nice. Let’s get the good stuff out of the way. It never crashed! It’s also got a delightfully cheesy pre-rendered intro cutscene, the guns sound good to use, the enemies can gib quite spectacularly in all their T-rated glory and that pistol is a stroke of genius on sound feedback with such a satisfying reload! And of course, some of the levels have some charming antiquation as it appears every single aspect of them was handcrafted with old-fashioned brushwork, giving me delightful Counter-Strike 1.6 vibes here and there! They are also crafted with sheer, unadulterated anger, guided by the hands of a psychopath who hates you and will relish at every opportunity to waste your time with some of the most elaborately crafted back-tracking I have ever experienced! Okay, let’s go all in on the bad. Story is over and done with after the intro CGI cutscene. You hear a woman over the announcement system during the Tutorial and come across absolutely nobody else throughout the next 3 stages, so I have no clue what the games store-page was saying with a “Progressive character & story development” or what they were implying with a “Rich variely (???) of characters & super charged power-ups.” There sure as hell aren’t any damn powerups, either! And just what the hell is an “Automatic gameplay adjustment system”?? Were they implying the appalling enemy respawns was a feature to be proud of?!? Most enemy encounters are in tight corridors against a motley crew of skeletons, assorted slime bro’s who have been hitting the gym and a clustered assortment of demons with some levels offering a few unique mooks here and there with an unhinged spawning system that seems to pop them into certain arena’s in waves 3 to 5 times before their numbers dwindle as you traverse a seemingly open-ended metroidvanian level divided up between loading zones while you scour the map searching for switches or runes to open doors and progress to an exit portal to escape. All the while you are given all the weapons right off the bat, giving you zero progression as all ammo replenishment is done via secret ammo caches and the occasional dead soldier with an endlessly spawning array of potions to refill your health and armor. And sometimes they just zap your health instead! It seems as if the level designers had trouble arranging enemy and item distribution and decided to just drop more ammo then you could ever hope to run out of, making the game a total cakewalk until the final stage where the enemy numbers and damage become nigh impenetrable, coupled with labyrinthine architecture, obtuse progression and practically endless backtracking intentionally done to pad out the game significantly longer then it had any right to be. And hell, If it wasn’t for the great help of a handy full-play by MudPuppit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlAuAdwQ42I&lc=Ugy8FXV-u9qbCU3goQN4AaABAg.ACgiqn_Xya4ACglYEm_Y_3 I definitely wouldn’t have ever beaten this slog. Shoutout to a fellow soldier in the Liquidator 2 Trenches! So why the hell did I subject myself to all this? I guess I’m just a sucker for gibbing legions of skeletons, it was practically a feature since taking them down by conventional means would have them pop right back up as bone-naked or turning into a skelly-spider! And by golly, some of the reloads were satisfying to listen to as I slowly but surely progressed through this maze of pain. Perhaps I should be studied in a lab somewhere. This was definitely not worth it as I was granted no final boss on the last level nor another CGI cutscene to elaborate on just what the hell I was doing for the last 8 hours… Even to seasoned Slavjank enjoyers, this one should most certainly be avoided. Welcome to hell, Indeed!

Painkiller for poor where monster keeps spawning

Не знаю какой патч ждёт американец который написал первый отзыв на эту игру и почему у него вылетает какая то ошибка, у меня ноутбук на win 11 современный и игра запустилась просто замечательно, 4к + 8x сглаживание, но стоит лок на 91 фпс к сожалению, багов и вылетов нет от слова совсем, я так понимаю что это бюджетный клон Serious Sam и Painkiller, больше похож на Will Rock кстати. В своё время не играл, вот и приобщился теперь.

I had this game on dvd back then played it on windows xp alot, i thought to revisit it but this game is not patched at all. Not even running it with compability can save this game for my case. This is just a lazy re release, dont get me wrong it is an alright game but it is just released with no patches. I even wonder why they even botherd releasing this, since this game wont even work on newer computers. They could have redone the game in unity with all the assets or smth atleast to put some effort on this.

Занятная игра с процедурной генерацией уровней. Задача: найти и уничтожить все канистры с топливом для телепорта. Для этого придётся искать руны, выполняющие роль ключей к новым частям локации или короткому пути уже изученных мест. Отсутствие карты осложняет процесс, легко запутаться. Игра заставляет напрягаться, чтобы запоминать ориентиры и маршруты. Некоторые пути работают только в 1 конец. Визуал неплохой, музыки немного, но она не раздражает. Если у вас есть проблемы с запуском игры на современных системах, то помимо древнего видео кодека может потребоваться установка библиотек Vulkan ( ищите dxvk-2.4.tar ) с ними игра запускается и хорошо работает. из архива в папке х32 бросить в папку с игрой Liquidator 2\Bin с исполняемым файлом 2 файла d3d9.dll и dxgi.dll. После этого можете спокойно играться.

Игра детства. Как узнал, что она вышла - сразу же купил. Одна из самых ламповых игра для меня. Диск был давно потерян, а без него игра не запускалась банально. Теперь снова окунулся в детство, спасибо большое.

Отвратительно. Я люблю всякий олдовый трэш, но это прям "помянем". Сделал запрос возврата средств. Даже 40р. оно не стоит.

мразотные разрабы , прошло 20 лет а патча нет, хотел понастальгировать но, бэкнул эту парашу, игра даже не запускается
