Back when the game came out I did not have the chance to play it, but I had the impression that shooting brightly coloured low-poly robots was not as interesting as Doom style FPS games.
#DESCENT FREESPACE 2 SOUNDTRACK INSTALL#
It's a game I bought basically every port of and I have multiple copies of the games (I think I ended up with maybe 3 copies of the Descent 3 install disks from having them packaged in things.) It was kind of sad with Descent 3 financially being a flop and basically sealing the fate of Outrage (this having been the final game where Parallax in both offices that would split into Outrage and Volition worked on together.) Quake came out a year after the first game but even today the 6 degrees of freedom are beyond what flight sims or shooters ever offered you, and the game kind of felt like a genre of it's own, a fusion with traits of both genres.īTW, is it me, or does the menu track resemble this theme from Descent II?Īs for Descent, my first experience with this game (apart from reading some walkthrough in a gaming magazine) was the music. There have been other games like Forsaken and the new Descent Underground stuff but they don't really have the charm that the original games, especially the first 2, had for me.
Between the soundtrack of the trilogy to the distinct robots to the very unique mines (how many other games had the killer soundtracks and the mines twisted into any shape imaginable and both the action and the ability to move like that), it's a trilogy I've revisited countless times over the decades and there's really nothing else like them out there.
A lot of the games of the early-mid 90's I didn't play in the order of their release. Descent was actually the first PC game I ever played.
