Kill Count And Saving System

5 Upvotes

Greetings!

I have a duo of (my regular) questions, at least for now...

1: Apart from "Heretic", the very first game in this series (which I've seen firsthand proof of having such statistics), how many other games in this series feature a kill count (if any at all)?

2: What sort of saving system does the latest release of "Heretic+Hexen" employ (how do you save your progress in those games during gameplay)?

Please satisfy my curiosity; thank you in advance.

Just finished "Pocket Plane" on smite-meister...what nonsense was that?!

13 Upvotes

Seriously, WTH?

I've been playing Heretic since I was like 9. This was the first time ever that I was truly pissed while playing Heretic. Never thought I'd feel this way, I love this game so much.

Took me about 40mins save scumming the fuck out of it.

The rest of "Faith Renewed" is great, as we progress through the maps they get more and more challenging, but "Pocket Plane" is utter garbage. Luckily it's optional.

Undocumented inventory items keyboard shortcuts

Thumbnail strategywiki.org
8 Upvotes

For years I knew that there are additional shortcuts for the inventory items you collect. I personally knew because at some point in 1995 I accidentally fired an item use when I pressed a numeric key between `5` and `0`. It was quite likely `5` as I was trying to wield the fourth weapon and missed the key in the hurry of the battle.

The "Info" screen in Hexen mentions a lot of shortcuts, but the keys `5` to `0` and nowhere to be found there.

The manual back then also failed to mention these key assignations. And documents you find in the internet archive confirm this.

I keep coming back to the page I linked here when I want to play a game again after a while and as usual keep forgetting what is what.

I hope this helps

Stuck in Wastelands

9 Upvotes

This has got me beat. I’m trying to get out of the Wastelands. I’ve unlocked all areas and collected the horn key. I don’t have the cave or swamp keys and I wanted to go back to Shadow Wood but when I go through the original portal I came through to get to Wastelands I can’t go anywhere as the exits are blocked. I’ve been around the map so many times and I don’t know what I’m missing. Can someone please put me out of my misery? TIA

The guide said there is supposed to be a switch here. Did I miss something or has the game bugged out? (Darkmere Swamps)

Hello everyone. I am stuck in the Nightdive remaster in the guardian of steel. The X directs me to this spot in pics 2 and 3, and there doesn't seem to be anything to do here. I already have activated the switch in the nearby wall. I'm not sure where to go next.

Edit: I'm good now.. buggy indicator. I've moved to the next hub.

Platinum on Heretic+Hexen on PlayStation.

5 Upvotes

My friend and I are thinking about getting the platinum for Heretic+Hexen in co-op, the there is no guides online. For anyone who has obtained the plat, how hard is it? How long did it take? We’ve been having lots of issue with co-op games that are just broken and don’t work for shit. Any info about the game would be nice! Thanks!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share. I forgot I had the Heretic/Hexen series on CD, including the expansions, and only found them during a move. This has always been one of my favourite FPS franchises, I’d love to see it revived. I remember trying to boot up the Deathkings CD years ago and got a message saying my computer was too new and to contact the developers lol Now I have it on Steam and Switch.

Heretic with Accessories Disc Question

8 Upvotes

Hello! Was wondering if anyone knew what kind of Heretic Shareware disc I have? It's pure silver compared to every other version I can find a picture of on the internet, which is just the CD case art on the disc. The backside is also different.

Apologies if this breaks a rule or anything!
