BloodRayne: Terminal Cut

The Only Good Nazi Is A Dead Nazi

by

I felt like playing a BloodRayne game today, but it almost didn’t pan out that way. I tried to play Chapter 13 of BloodRayne Betrayal, but didn’t have the patience for the acrobatics for crossing a gap. Then I thought about BloodRayne 2 but remembered I’m still pissed off at that one too. So I went with the original, and that worked out ok.

I murdered a bunch of Nazis and took out a couple of leaders, killing Nazis is something I never grow tired of… especially in current times where more and more asshats have become comfortable in their bigotry and fascism.It was kinda funny returning to this after playing more modern titles lately, like HZD or Control. I never played any of the BloodRayne games when they came out, but I can feel the nostalgia from the graphics alone, the same kind of vibes I get when playing the old school Quake games or Max Payne. You can feel the era in the audio and the visuals. The more modern, cinematic games have been incredible. But older games still have their charm if you know where to look.

Frolicking Around The Cemetery

It’s been a week since I last played with my Steam Deck. I decided to give it a little love tonight by playing a bit of BloodRayne. Defeated the Queen of the Underworld and unlocked Blood Rage Lvl 3. It’s definitely been the right weather to play tonight. Dark, foggy and plenty of wind. The perfect way to end a quiet evening of video sorting. Even deleted a few hundred gigs!

Saturday Night Gaming

I decided to give my Steam Deck some attention today, just to kill off the rest of the battery before doing a recharge. Returned to BloodRayne after a long reprieve, and actually made it a couple levels further. The fighting seems a lot easier compared to the second game, but then again I am only a few levels in. I think in BloodRayne 2 I left off a few levels away from the end. I vow to return to it when I’m done being pissed off at it.

Towards the evening I met up with Yutram again to continue our long journey to rid ourselves of the dreaded cthulu parasites. We lost a couple battles, won some unexpected ones, saved a couple NPC’s from flames, and met my watermelon colored guardian and got a little digital shut-eye.

Now to go and follow suit. 🙂

My BloodRayne Of Terror Begins

by

To kick off the weekend I decided to try a new/old game. I played a tiny bit of the original BloodRayne a long time ago, and ended up shelving it due to control issues, like proper controller support. I recently discovered that I had the Remastered version given to me for free since I own the original copy! It has controller support! But I couldn’t get it to perform to my liking on the Steam Controller, and I opted to use a keyboard and mouse only to remember there were a lot of buttons I was probably not going to remember. I opted to make my own Steam Controller Config based on the game’s keyboard and mouse settings, that way I have the convenience of a controller with the precision of a keyboard and mouse. It isn’t too surprising that it runs perfectly under Proton, being this is an older game despite it being a remaster. I just hope I’ll actually be able to finish it; I’ve had a couple friends tell me they couldn’t progress a long time ago due to a certain game mechanic.

Hopefully I don’t run into that problem in this version.
