It won’t let me continue no matter who I pick or what I pick


It was the very first game that Yahzee gave a good review of. He caused a 900% uptick in sales of a several years old game, at that point.
Well worth torrenting and playing with if you remember Quake 3 or Doom 2

Is this a sequel to the 2004 Painkiller by People Can Fly?
Edit: looking at the steam page it certainly seems related, but I don’t know if any of the original devs are involved.

Age of Empires, Definitive Edition is honestly amazing to look at. Cities Skylines with mods and all DLC. Fallout NV with mods can get insanely good looking. Just cause 2 and Just Cause 3 are both beautiful at ultra settings. Star Wars The Old Republic gets fairly pretty for an MMO. Obligatory EvE Online, just don’t try to play the game. Took me 16 years to win EvE.
Apples and Onions. Not even close to the same situation, since we don’t rely on physical copies anymore, and the physical copies that are produces are such a limited run that they are basically collectors items or data archivist / ownership enthusiast items.
Also that crash only really affected the US. The gaming market as a whole just kind of absorbed the losses, and got stronger for the video game comeback in 1986 in the US.
