That's 'cuz Blood 1 is absolutely fucking fantastic.
Although it's unpopular with lesbians for no apparent reason.
Did you play Cryptic Passage? That's a good expansion.

DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME ON THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY
You will die easily enough as it is, so why aggravate the situation? Dial it back to Normal/Medium, and you might start enjoying the game.
Difficulty in general is not well balanced in Shogo, but it is by no means a crappy game. Despite all of NOLF's fine attributes (clearly it is superior in all sorts of ways), I had more actual fun with Shogo at the time. I was looking forward to NOLF purely because of this game, and wound up slightly disappointed.
I'm wearing semi-rose-tinted glasses here, mind... it's been a few years since I replayed it, and there were still a few aspects I disliked even the first time around... but at least give it a proper chance.
Oh, and try Shogo in multiplayer with some friends, if you can. I always heard that was a hoot.

Seeing as I didn't like NOLF much, that speaks volumes

AFiH actually doesn't hate it like she hates Duke3D, Shadow Warrior, or Redneck Rampage. I know, I was shocked too.

Cryptic Passage is, in terms of level design, a bit better than the vanilla maps, and that's saying something.

No love for the Lo Wang? :confused:

While we're temporarily on the subject, would anyone happen to know if there's a Shadow Warrior port that can do the 8-player SW deathmatches (WangBangs, were they called?) that I so fondly remember from my TEN days?

Ah, Shogo. After coming home from a New Years party, nearly a decade ago, I sat up playing it till early morning on the new PC I'd gotten for christmas. Good times, good times. :)

So I god past the godawful first mech missions and into the actual human fps which was, surprisingly, much better. Mainly because the enemies actually fucking FLINCH when you hit them, meaning that as long as you keep hitting them you've practically invoulnerable! And headshots count. So sneaking up on them and shooting as you round the corner, taking them one at a time, proved to be actually somewhat enjoyable. Save for the few encounters with their fucking aimbot mixed with uber reflexes where they shoot you as soon as you see 5 of their fucking pixels, so goddamn annoying.
And then there was more fucking mech missions which I despise. Why the fuck do their weapons rape me in 2 seconds but if I pickup their weapon and use it on them it takes 20 FUCKING SECONDS OF CONTANST SHOOTING TO KILL THEM? WTF is this shit????
Ok, but I got on and even started enjoying the (human) missions and the retarded storyline.
Until I came to face Ryo. You see the encounter looks like this:
You are in a huuuge open room with absolutely no cover. You run up and suddenly the game breaks into a cutscene where a giant ass mech comes out. As soon as the cutscene ends, I am dead. The mech shoots before I can even move, killing me in one hit. 20 fucking times in a row. And I am maxed out on health. And I can't hide behind anything as I need to be IN THE FUCKING WIDE OPEN SPACE to trigger the cutscene. There's literally no fucking delay between the end of the cutscene and him shooting. I could try jumping like an idiot in hopes of him missing but it doesn't matter because he SHOOTS BEFORE ANY OF MY KEYSTROKES EVEN FUCKING REGISTER. And it's always insta-fucking kill.
WHAt
THe
FUCK
WHERE
THEY
THINKING???

I know you started this thread with the specific intention of venting your anger, but maybe you should read some of the suggestions other people've put forth in this thread?
Play at a lower difficulty setting.
Half your gripes come from precisely the highest difficulty setting being obscenely tough.
