Although I'm thinking of playing Deus Ex HR again in preparation for Mankind Divided.

I did that too a few months back. In my opinion it has aged really well aside from some sick tearing on my nvidia card.

Thanks for the rundown! I'll grab Doom and GZDoom this weekend and have some fun shooting demons.

If doom feels too oldschool for you do try brutal doom or project brutality.

Also the early fps thread really is a good source for all things doom (check out the op)

Ps. before you start the game be sure to fiddle with the settings and turn on stuff like mouselook and change keybinds so you can strafe with a&d and whatnot

I'm not sure that I ever beat the director's cut. Playing it on 360, so while the graphics might be a bit worse never had any tearing or anything.

Oh comeon guys we get enough of this bickering in the FPS thread lets not spill it over here.

Doom is good, play doom however you like.

Doom 1, doom 2, brutal doom, project brutality, dooom64, doom 4, whatever, just shotgun some demons already.

To each his own doom!

MGS4 cutscenes kick rear end and it has good gameplay.

The gameplay's all right. I like all the weapons and such, neat setpieces, the stealth works just as well as ever, most of the time. Terrible, terrible boss fights though. Raging Raven is horrible.

Raging Raven would have been better if I had not at the time just seen the gimmick done better in bad to most people JRPG Dawn of Mana.

I won't deny that MGS4 has the weakest boss fights in the series, but the tail end also has some f the best. It's a mixed bag.

I actually really liked some of the boss fights in MGS4, including Crying Wolf and the RAY fight

What I don't like about the game is how it ruins Ocelot for me

MGS4 is the one I played the least, I didn't get very far at all.

I feel like I got everything I need out of Metal Gear from (Revengeance and) Metal Gear Scanlon.

The stealth chick that would turn into boxes was tight. The sniper fight was good. The Metal gear fight was good. The final fight was amazing.

I'm ok with not having the troop of 5 bad guys. None would be better than MGS3 and V went for its own specific tone that worked well without a goofy collection of bad guys.

Every game except MGS5 has a "goofy collection of bad guys". Its like making a Devil May Cry where you only get to play as Dante 50% of the time!
