How can you miss the mark on Doom so badly. Make everything go fast and make guns kill everything fast, how hard is that to do really.

So the last boss fight in Quantum Break sure was something. Did I miss all the bitching or did no one get that far?
Really liked the game up until that train wreck of a fight.

No one (at Remedy) expected people to actually play the game for longer than an hour.

In my opinion, 2016 is an even better year for video games than 2015.

Agreed because I can't remember what games came during 2015 and which came 2016

Well this year already has Overwatch, Dick Squirrels 3, and Tomb Raider (technically released in 2015 for XBox but that doesn't count). And they're all lookin' pretty good. Probably some other ones I'm forgetting.

Last year had a bunch of games too but the only one I really really liked was Life is Strange.

The new Doom looks so bad. QTEs, lack of level design and gameplay-interrupting finisher animations is everything fans could ever ask for.

It basically borrowed the visuals from Doom 3 and that's where the similarities end.

A good version of that would be my ideal game to get made. I really dig the atmosphere.

There were a couple cool moments in Doom 3 when you go out onto the Martian surface. Otherwise it was terrible.

I played 10 minutes of the Doom closed beta and it was absolutely terrible. The single player looks like it could be really good from what we've seen so far though. Still cautiously optimistic.

So it's been over a solid month of games-related horrible drama/news.
-Tracer's rear end
-Alison Rapp
-Baldur'sGate-Gate
-Tobuscus
-Then there's this guy doing this poo poo that proves gamedev needs unions.

What's gonna happen next week? Is Gabe Newell gonna die?

I'd rather see new games. The rest of the series doesn't need a remake.

Technically this year also has Darkest Dungeon, which owned right up to (but not including) the rather grindy end

I wonder if that's been updated in the last three months

It's not really gaming related or a big deal, but a very naive anti-harassment startup is basically having a mini Amy's Bakery meltdown.

How does it look any good? Non-existent level design with corridors with a couple of enemies and no actually dynamic movement and when they show the chainsaw instead of it making use of a real-time decapitation engine it's just a non-skippable animation that takes control away from you and breaks the flow of gameplay. The single-player looks really bad and the only cool thing in it is the visual style transplanted from Doom 3.

None of these things say 'bad game' to me. They say 'not exactly Doom'.

And I don't give a gently caress about Doom. The gameplay trailers look fun.

I promise you, as someone who doesn't give a poo poo about classic FPS games, that the new Doom is going to be bland and terrible.
