Is this serious? Every Doom game has involved going to hell and fighting Demons from hell in space and such. You know, a mythological place and mythological creatures and insane situations that are clearly fantasy.

They changed the type of place and creatures slightly. This isn’t really a stretch for the series.

Your comment is what I’m getting at. It’s not the same anymore. Instead it’s like getting a new PC graphics card and finally being able to turn up the settings on mostly the same games.

That too, but also console gens aren’t what they used to be. What has the current gen done to justify itself beyond the prior gen?

The PS5 is basically PS4 Pro 2. Meh.

Where’s the excitement? We don’t have the graphical or storytelling upgrades of the past anymore. What is going to be incredible and new abiht the next generation? Probably not much.

How many people raging about this probably played the shit outta San Andreas. Oohhhhhh but that’s okay cause it fits their stereotype?

I always wanted to see anything else. I’m a human male every day. Give me a female and/or an alien or some other strange thing. Let’s be different!

I never understand this need for people to mimic themselves.

While it has been quite a while now, I would have a hard time getting over the fact that I have never encountered a WD HDD that did NOT fail. Between prebuilts when I was younger, and friends/family computers I helped with. It was astonishing how pathetic the WD’s were.

Disappointing years ago when I read they acquired Seagate.

Republicans have no issue suggesting some people oughta be killed though, including the current idiot-in-chief.

Hypocritical projecting evil pieces of shit, including every single fucktwat that votes for them.

Midnight Club 3

DC can’t just pick a damn batman actor, or be consistent with their movie stories. They just keep rebooting. They keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Just like skipping Vista was the way to go. We need to skip Win11.

I’ve been replaying it a bit on Steam Deck and it plays and looks good.

Instead of the Electric Boogalo, it’s the Steam Dreamaroo.

The Saboteur

This is mainly why I quit. And it especially used to piss me off cause it’ll still demand you put in the disc to play even though the whole fucking thing installed and downloaded patches larger than the game. Might as well be all digital with oversize hard drives and be lazy with swapping games. I know still having to put a disc in for a fully installed game is a long time PC thing, but it really frustrated me.

I also went more Steam and cheaper sale games or key sites. Saw a game for like $3 on Steam and $30 on PSN too many times.

Aside from a few PS4/PS5 games I love or are rare, I’m only really physically keeping older stuff and have actually been playing a lot of older stuff.

The Saboteur is a lost gem that everyone should play.

Does going gold mean anything anymore? Nearly every major game is garbage at release and needs tons of patches and fixes.

It’s not what we should have gotten in terms of Metal Gear story. In terms of a solid game with good gameplay and a decent story, it’s fantastic. Not every game needs to be open world, require 200 hours, or be live service.

Morons. AoE3 is amazing and gets shit on for no good reasons. AoE1 is exactly what not aging well looks like coupled with a shitty re-release. I’ve always felt AoE2 is mega overrated. I have played hundreds of hours of all of the main games and AoM.

It’s underwhelming and there are better options, and it’ll sell like crazy because people are basic.

While it’s not exactly a good game, I had a lot of fun with Heroes of Annihilated Empires and enjoyed it even though parts of it can be difficult or clunky and I couldn’t even finish it. It was kind of like high fantasy RPG RTS.

The Dungeons series is fun.

Some might not call Mindustry an RTS, but it’s similar and a lot of fun.

I also felt Company of Heroes 2 was a good story and had a lot of playability.

Circle Empires again isn’t exactly RTS, but is similar and a unique take on the concept.

Also you can’t go wrong with most Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, and Halo Wars.

They’re your notes. Pull them up in Steam Overlay.

Old people also have those same new games and also have the same social media and attention span issues.

Big reason I don’t understand the obsession with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The game world is empty and just feels like so much wasted space, and a ton of it looks like PS2 worldbuilding.

I am fucking tired of article headlines that say “here’s why,” and here’s why (link).

Offline single player, amd occasional local co-op is all I need.

People’s obsession with online play drives all this.

Ah, so assholes trying to define for others what they mean.

Capitalism.

That’s why.

No need to read articles.

I still have mine from launch. Played it yesterday. Get on board. This thing is amazing.

I use both very often. Especially as a custom menu for emulator settings, or in older PC games or games with a lot of Keyboard/Mouse controls, they help me make things far more comfortable with various custom popup menus, or sometimes jumping to a mouse region to select UI options while playing. They are also helpful for games with horrid controls/hotkeys that won’t fitnon a traditional amount of controller buttons. They also help with mouse precision when an analog stick won’t do.

I also use the back buttons a lot. I use the entire Steam Deck and the custom controller settings are basically a necessity.

No touchpads?

Note it says work on, not finish.

All I can think of is Nintendo trying to sue this post or something.

The Bethesda remake is supposedly using some Frankenstein of the original engine shoved into unreal. It’ll suck.

Though in their defense, it’s not being done by Bethesda at all. It’s being done by some studio who has mainly only done support work for other studios bigger games. I think called Virtuoso?

A long time ago, I read one of their developers say you require the original games since the mod is specifically designed not to re-provide you with any copyright material from either game, and in fact I think it’ll look for and use the files you have like any other mod.

This was done on purpose so they can never worry about being shut down or sued if they ensure they never wrongly re-use or provide copyrighted materials. Probably a smart move for such a massive undertaking.

“If they make me angry, I will pirate, unless I don’t.”

But why should I trust this particular pilot?

I, too, own honey. I got it locally. Should I throw it out?

Finally playing Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 1, cause $3 is a good price to wait for. Only for the single player. I don’t care about multi-player. Streamed from my PC to Steam Deck is great.

In the years since its release, and developer Ensemble Games’ closure

Because Microsoft is run by morons.

Also Sony shut Zipper Interactive around this time. Just idiotic companies shutting down some of the best game studios we had.

Okay but why fuck PayPal.
