I had lost interest in gaming almost completely until I found Ashes. The creators are true visionary artists. I cannot thank them enough for creating such an amazing game series and releasing it for free. I love how HR explanins some things from the other games (like the encounter with the black water bandit at the bar in Prosperity).

@NCRVeteranRanger 7 дней назад

I couldn’t agree more. As a huge post-apocalypse fan, the Ashes series was what rekindled my love for the genre after years of mediocre games like Fallout 4 & 76. It is the absolute best post-apocalypse game I’ve experienced so far, & I can’t wait to see what’s next for the series.

@necrosteel5013 9 дней назад

I remember playing ashes 2063 when it's first demo released. It had aliens weapon sprites for the shotgun and was such a quaint yet fine experience. How much i have seen the games developed is quite the journey.

@HexenStar 8 дней назад

Actually, that does not surprise me at all. The creators were 110% immersed in bringing their dream to life, designing and crafting a great game, - money was the last thing on their mind. I've been in this boat multiple times. Mod makers are likely to be the most inventive and the most dedicated game content creators out there today. What does surprise rather often though - is how some absolute garbage, which has zero creative merit or is maladroit AF - is being sold nonchalant for money on Steam, as if it's a product deserving any kind of monetary reward. Then again, as the timeless expression goes: a sucker is born every day. So there is that.

"The source port of the source port of the source port of the Doom engine..." Zlim, you really deserve an applause for this crafty definition.👍👏. I still haven't encountered a game reviewer who would describe GZDoom at least half-way competently. Until now. Most are like as if they were born yesterday, packed with an Iphone instead of brains. Babbling something along the lines of: "GZDoom was built in the age of the dinosaurs, scratch that - it was Napoleon who built it, and that guy John? Jack? James? Juke? Ah-ha! Luke!!! Wait, it couldn't be Skywalker, it was some car guy...Who? Car-mac? Yeah, him too..."🤣

@BrotherPolemos 7 дней назад

I love Ashes in it's entireity. Just figured I would mentiong some things. One: you can alter the light levels in settings to better suit your screen/PC setup. Two: You have a map, like any doom mod. Also if you have coloured lines on in the map you can see what keys go to what doors. that should help you navigate, not that i ever got lost in HR. Three: Bro got enough jump cuts!?

@ZlimBratSki 7 дней назад

There is a point to it being very dark. That is the whole reason behind the flashlight that plays a major role in the game, and turning that up ruins A LOT of the intended experience, so that's a no recommend to do that from me, sure fine tune it but don't alter it too much to make night levels not need the flashlight. Yes I have a map, but the doors are not marked on the map? And the only distinct color is the secret areas in HR? Bro not near enough

Still at level 4 with 2063. Playing it veeeerry slowly. Enjoying it so to speak. It’s amazing. A work of art and so much fun! What’s the (chronological) order? First 2063 right?

@ZlimBratSki 9 дней назад

@@ZlimBratSki ok thanks for the info!!! Again, it’s so amazing.

@GzegzolkaDA 8 дней назад

Chronological order is bit different if You are interested in correct time line. First is Hard Reset - set in 2060. Second is Dead Man Walking - unofficial fan made prequel to Ashes 2063. Third is Ashes 2063. Last is Ashes Afterglow. And if we will be lucky maybe one day there will be next episode

@Ms.Strahl 8 дней назад

The difference in "fun per dollar" between "AAAA" franchises and the _Ashes_ series is the difference between "worthless" and "priceless". That might sound a little harsh, but I've been very disappointed recently with the offerings, cancellations and behind-the-scenes manipulations coming from the "major publishers" lately.

@ZlimBratSki 8 дней назад

Yeah it's been a rough couple of years for AAA, I feel sorry for the devs but the suites are ruining it for us all.

@HexenStar 8 дней назад

That's not harsh, that's accurate. There are maybe 1-2 exceptions tops, in the last decade - which only fortify the rule. Last AAA game i played and greatly enjoyed - was Mad Max. When was that? Ahh...2015... As Zlim put it: "Så var det med", lol.

Hard Reset is awesome TC for Doom, it feels like Ashes, but bit different. I do not mind if there will be more small episodes like this one. New guns and monsters are great. I only feel that last map was rushed and realesed too early.

@ZlimBratSki 7 дней назад

Yeah I totally agree, I love this prequel expansion just giving a little bit of a shorter and tighter experience, although it's not a small game by any means it's quite hefty imo :D

@arkgaharandan5881 9 дней назад

not my favorite ashes campaign but it was really good and they added all that new stuff, kinda sad it doesnt havehubs anymore, also the wendigos and the gladiators are too fast and too tanky, the game likes to throw too many of them in closed areas and it becomes a clusterfck, its too chaotic to crowed control, other than that it was top notch, i liked how they connected the story with the other campaigns perfectly.

@ZlimBratSki 9 дней назад

You mean the hubs acts as levels? I sure felt like there were hubs. I played on standard and never got too damaged by the wendigos, but I was usually drained on ammo after :(

@JohnSWeekley 8 дней назад

@@ZlimBratSkihubs generally refer to areas / maps you come back to, which HR does not have as it plays more similarly to 2063, level to level progression. I can not say that hubs are gone from future installments, just not in HR.

@@JohnSWeekley But I mean, I'm pretty sure I visited the first "hub" twice :D I get what you mean tho, they don't act as your traditional hubs.

@GzegzolkaDA 8 дней назад

I think it is the best way to think about Hard Reset as an additional story to Ashes universe. It is something like Dead Man Walking, but more story focused. I love new guns, crossbow and modular rifle. I also like new monsters, some are too fast, but still I found them manageable with flamethrower :) it is like test playground for future episodes.

@arkgaharandan5881 6 дней назад

@@GzegzolkaDA i replayed dead man walking yesterday, sorry but the level design is much better than hard reset and by that i mean the levels flow so much better than hard reset, the pacing and the combat sections are so much better.
