What exactly is the point of this game?
I enjoyed playing the first couple levels, but I don't really understand the point... Could someone please explain it to me?

Secrets? Yep must off missed them or not noticed them while doing the rinse and repeat other stuff. Stopped playing it when I got to the Alien Saucer bored of the repetative gameplay by then. Oh dear I bought the entire collection and I hear this is the best one too lol.

Alien saucer? The hell are you talking about? Are you playing Overdose or something? The only good Painkiller game is the original. Also, yeah, the game is LITTERED with secrets. It even tells you at the end of the level on your score sheet that there's secrets. Not sure how you could miss literally every one, unless you only played half of one level and then came here to spout your ignorant crap.

The end of C3L3 (Military Base) perhaps?

I guess there's that, but jesus, if you got that far into the game without realizing there's secrets and that 100% of the game is shooting things, I don't know exactly what you expected.

The "point" of the game (I guess you don't mean the backstory, as some as said here) is that it's a wave-based shooter - a nod to some older shooters, if you will.

It is a "twitch" shooter, and cut down to the barest bones of enjoyment - that of simply blasting away at enemies before they get you.

The additional pickups "charge" an overdrive mode which you can enable you to do some serious damage for a short period of time.

Then it's simply a case of killing wave after wave, progressing through each area waypointed by checkpoints along the way.

That's it, in a nutshell.

Also, just to add to the most recent comments here, it IS a shooter in the vein of older shooters. Maybe Doom or Quake aren't precise analogies (as they clearly have differences), but it is certainly like shooters of old. I have thousands of the damned things which I still regularly play!

Yay being replaying Hard Reset again its like Pain Killer but its actually fun for me at the mo. Which supprised me as I wasn't thay much taken with it the first time. I thought I give it a replay as a go compare.com its does seem to fair better than Pain Killer in the joy joy department. :D

I'd absolutely agree that Hard Reset is a better game.

I don't know when you played it last, but they did a fairly massive update to the game along with a free expansion about a year or so ago, so maybe that's helped (it was damned good already, in my opinion)?

I think you do have to bear in mind that with Painkiller, it IS showing it's age, and is a niche type of shooter. When released, it was a bit of a breath of fresh air, as there wasn't much else around at the time, and it'd been quite a number of years since the likes of the original Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein.

That said, I still find it fun to jump into from time to time. But then, I think you'd be astonished how many games I have that I do that with anyway, so my opinion might be slightly biased.

Also, a game of this age might be off-putting to some people (again, not to me - I still play my old computers and Ataris, etc).

Final thought - I don't think there's many games that can really match that lovely metallic smack that you get from blasting robots in Hard Reset. It's really solid.

Yes bought the HR Extended Edition non Steam version and then Steam go and put a it on a cheeper sale oh deary me ha ha.

I was replaying it only yesterday flicking through me game collection on my HD got quite absorbed into it, the effects are quite amazing and it runs so smoothly. All my weapons nearly max upgraded so got the near full usage of my arsenal and had some fun with it. I was pretty poor at playing it even with those upgrades forgot how fast you got to be. :D

Don't retro that much beyond Quake and Doom. I binned my last two micros ages ago the CBM64 and Amiga500 nearly a 1000 games between the two systems. Tried a few emulators can't seem to get into the old greats anymore sadly.

Aye, Hard Reset can be pretty brutal. I'm not so good these days, but I respect hard games being hard without being cheap about it (if you get what I mean).

And retro gaming is nice if you're into it. Sadly, there are some games which really don't age well (a lot of racing games don't in my opinion), but conversely some still do. Anyway, from a personal point of view, when I built my computer in 1975/6 I knew just how addictive it was going to be so I've never been able to bring myself to sell a single game or system.

I also get a nice bit of enjoyment about things like tracking down the odd missing game I've always wanted and all. But I really do get enjoyment out of learning all the foibles and oddities about systems, so I can keep them well maintained - there's always one or two out of commission at any given time, but I usually have about 70 systems working at any given time. Some of them can be absolute pigs though.

But the bottom line I suppose is that some of the older games - even those that haven't aged well - are great to dip into from time to time, just for reference.

Me an my bro got the the old micros out the my loft ages ago (We was into the Dreamcast by then) and it almost killed our nostalga and thats why I ended up bining them. I am sticking to my subjective memory that the other games I used to play are and still amazing in my head ha ha.

One of the best subjective games I ever played was Dungeon & Dragons on the Aquarious got to level 100 and it sent you back down to level 90 again lol.

Goodluck with collection I am quite envious of your ability to emmerse yourself into retro gaming like that. I wish I had depth of imagination to make that leap. :D

Thank you :)

I never managed to get hold of an Aquarius, but I think I know the game you mean - a friend of mine at the time had one, and I'm fairly sure we played that D&D game.

And indeed, as I said, it's certainly not for everyone, but I do get great enjoyment out of it. As a side note, what I also like to do is share the knowledge with others too. Get quite a few questions from people akin to "what was that game that went xxxxx?" and I can answer them and point them in the direction of where to find one. Seems to please people quite a lot. I don't think things are as much fun if you can't share them in some way anyway.

But thanks again :)

Your wife was killed by the car crash and died. You are sent to heaven to find your wife again, and to do that you must kill the bad guys.

I was not stuck on the story in so much as the lack of variety that was my intial confusion. Stuck in area, fight a wave, rinse and repeat. Variety is supposed to be the spice of life, but I will give the whole series another crack at a later date. At present its just sitting in my libray glaring at me and say play me ha ha.

Ah, now that's the thing, I think.

This game was written at a time when there was bugger-all about as far as wave shooters, so this is precisely why it scored highly at the time.

Nowadays, I personally don't think it stands up too well for the reasons you've said.

I personally couldn't give a chuff about the backstory (as with most games, unless it's REALLY immersive - I couldn't tell you a thing about World of Warcraft despite 5 years of playing, for example). So, maybe the game's not going to impress you - I think your first impression's pretty right.

However, I play games for YEARS after buying, so as far as Painkiller goes, it sits there until I fancy a bit of wave-based idiocy, then I play a bit and leave it again. Maybe this might work for you?

It's kinda puching-ball-like game. Work-tired oxen like myself can release our stress by mindlessly killing stuff in a virtual scenario with the accompaniment of juvenile heavy metal sounds. Teenage bulls and sexually reppressed young geeks can equally release some testosterone-related rage shooting at orthodox politically-correct-to-kill evil things while waiting for parents to go to bed, so they can surf porn in the net.

BTW, the point of all games is to play (this is, have fun) with them. The day games must have a point, is the day games are not games anymore.

Finally managed to haul my way through the entire series. Figured their are two types of Painkillers. Back, Resurrection and H&D more freeroam(ish). Overdose, RE and Redemption seem more arena based.
It takes a brave one to try any of the Painkiller sequels, it takes a hero to finish them all.

The point of this game is to kill daemons and zombies with a gun that shoots wooden stakes and sometimes grenades. If you need more than that you are a sad individual
