Demon burgers, best served hot!

Painkiller Black Edition, a traditional and classic FPS with non-stop action, legions of butts ready for kicking, great arsenal of badass weapons, and hellishly stylish visuals, is available 60% off today on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours!

Remember the time when shooting swarms of demonic beasts was a synonym of great, uncompromising fun? The time of games with no covers, no complex tactics, no elaborate dialogue, no touchy-feely cutscenes? Oh, how fun it was just to blast through the hordes of vile monsters, leaving a steaming pile of lead-filled bodies behind you. Good memories! Let's go back to that time of bliss.

Painkiller Black Edition offers you a great selection of impressive action-packed levels, a huge collection of original guns, and swarms of masterfully crafted monsters just waiting to be burned, mutilated and dismembered. You're up against the hordes of hell, and some of the beasts you'll encounter are big as a building. Just imagine how satisfying it will be to blast them back to where they came from! The Black Edition includes the main campaign, as well as the Battle out of Hell Expansion.

There's nothing in this world and next, that should stop you from cheerful demon-slaughter in Painkiller Black Edition, for only $3.99 on GOG.com! The offer lasts until Tuesday, April 30, at 9:59AM GMT.

Good game. Also comes with a good soundtrack to use in the background for whatever-you-are-doing..

Brilliant game and the one and only Painkiller. Forget all the supposed expansions, sequels, remakes and whatever. Just get this one, one of the best hardcore FPSes ever made.

Its a ok game.

I should get around to beating it but the boss I am up to is impossible. I believe you have to shoot at the bubbles next to his feet or something.

Surprisingly atrocious game, hailed by people who don't remember oldschool FPS as a prime example of oldschool fps gameplay.

Instead, it's like CoD with big weapons and silly enemies, with overblown architecture, bad pacing, slow action and bland everything.

But I liked the bosses. 4/10

Not a single reason to buy this, when you can buy DN3D, SW, BLOOD, UT or Serious Sam here at gog. (and Doom 1&2 elsewhere)

The swamp boss? Yes, shoot the bubble at his feets and it explodes. After a while his attack pattern changes, and your bullet will start to hurt him also, though not as much as the exploding bubbles so you should focus on still shooting them, but you can hurt him directly then, at least.

Any chance we'll see the rest of the Painkiller games here?

This game is absolutely nothing like CoD. It's more like Serious Sam.

CoD throws you into different set pieces, where you either have to push forward or use something and move forward. Games like Painkiller and Serious Sam lock you in a room, throw tons of enemies at you, and let you continue after you've killed everything.

I played it after CoD: MW3 (only CoD i have ever played) and i find too many similar game design techniques. And yes, Serious Sam is similar, but better in every respect

The most boring shooter i've ever come across is on promo? I guess i'll save some money then.

Meh. I played through the first "episode" and it was rather boring. You crawl slowly like a slug through levels that are dark and your flashlight is useless until the game locks you into a bubble and starts throwing tons of enemies at you. Those parts can be fun, but they go on for way too long it starts getting boring. I feel like the guys who made painkiller played a lot of old shooters and decided to make their own "old-school" shooter without really looking what made those old games really fun in the first place, instead relying on nostalgia or something.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the bunnyhopping. If you want to get any decent walking speed you need to hop around like an idiot. That's stupid, bunny hopping is just an exploit from how old game shandled their vector math, why would you make exploit abusing an integral part of your game?

I will try again once I get home. It was pure luck I beat the first boss
