  • Honestly it is. The remaster is beautiful. But the games are very much tank controls at heart. So even though it might feel counter intuitive to use the old tank controls; it definitely is the best way to play these games.

    I’ve tried the modern controls, and it becomes apparent really fast that these games were not made for it. It’s clunky and unwieldy at best, and completely illogical and unresponsive at worst.

    The tank controls take some getting used to, but if you play Lara’s home you can get used to them in peace.

    Duke nukem forever didn’t tarnish the older games IMO. Because the games barely have any story to begin with, they are mostly ranked for their gameplay, which is still awesome to this day. At least for 2 and 3d.

    Duke1 is nothing too special. But Duke1 wasn’t even too special at time of release.







  • Is there a way to remove having to enter my password for everything?

    Wake computer from Screensaver? Password.
    Install something? Password.
    Updates (biggest one. Updates should in my opinion just work without, because being up to date is important for security reasons)? Password.

    I understand sudo needs a password,but all the other stuff I just want off. The frequency is rediculous. I don’t ever leave my house with my computer, and I don’t want to enter a password for my wife everytime she wants to use it.
