I just beat Doom E1 25 years late and goddamn its really really good. I alreayd wanna replay it and try to beat my time. I recorded a video of myself playing E1M1 for the first time a few months ago and then watching videos of the new one made me wanna revisit it. I felt like a dumbass when i realized theres a sprint button and you could go even faster. I dont think any games feels as completely loving sick as the original doom does.

I'm installing marvel heroes in hopes that this computer can run it. I hope it can, it seemed pretty fun, albeit buggy from what I've heard. It's a shame that engine is so broken that a character like quicksilver would be impossible to make without slowing him down a bunch though.

i put like 200 into it as a kid and never went into another oblivion gate after the first.

I put in enough time in Oblivion to max out alchemy, make the lightest invis potions, stack them to over 100% invis and mucked about. Apparently, the daedra tell you "you're not supposed to be here mortal" if you aren't busy trying to kill each other. It's so game breaking, but then again, half the fun of open world things is using the predefined and constrained parameters to do what you can, sometimes to hilarious and impressive effect.


Pro click, better than the 90-minute rant, and considerably more informative. I might have to delve into that channel more.

Victory through attrition. This also works for most F-Zero races :getin:

I recall one of the initial reveals of an F-Zero game, and the winner was someone who didn't just race, but wrecked rides when the opportunity presented itself.

I say most because the GX story mode was a load of horse poo poo rubberband AI :livintrope:

One game does. It's Quake 1, drat early id were genuine rockstars of game development. These games were just so perfectly non-bullshit. Also both soundtracks <3.

drat, even on lowest settings I still get lag and stuttering in marvel heroes even when I'm by myself. Oh well. Maybe some day later when I can afford a better graphics card.

Until then...I've always got Sacred Gold to play!!

I really like that the different characters start in different places, even if all of the starting areas are just a stone's throw from one another so it is more or less just aesthetic choice. It adds a lot to the game just knowing they took the time to add something like that for each character.

I will buy a NEO day one if it has 60fps Bloodborne support

Jun 22, 2004

Still in the camp that believes NEO doesn't exist. If it did Sony would not announce it at E3 unless they were going to make it available for purchase in stores that day. If that were the case then stores would already know about the NEO and we would have a lot more serious credible sources where right now we have none. None of the executives at various big publishers know about the NEO and they have all commented on it at this point.

That's always been Naughty Dog's thing, I remember being blown away playing Jak II after GTA3 and it having a buttery-smooth framerate despite the bigger draw distance and characters that were detailed enough to not have blocks for hands.

It's not a whole new console, makes no sense to announce a release date for months from now. Say goodbye to the PS4's very strong sales for the next 4 - 5 months if the NEO is announced for this fall. Sony and Microsoft made their redesigns of the PS3 and 360 available right away.

Those were simple redesigns, not incremental upgrades.

No one's going to buy a PS4 when they know a new one is coming out soon. It'll either be available day of E3 or not at all.

lol the PS4 is already practically given away at this point. $350 is an absolute steal, Sony doesn't need to lower the price but the Xbox One is now $300. Sony might do that but still doubt there will be a NEO announcement.

I have no intention of buying a "new" PS4 console, and I strongly suspect most PS4 owners think the same way. If it isn't a straight up new system or upgrade, it feels pointless. And nobody else is doing it--if Sony is trying to match step with Nintendo of all companies, then they've really lost sight of who their market is.

I can't in all seriousness buy the argument that the PS4 needs better hardware when games like Uncharted 4 exist.

lol trying to match step with Nintendo? the company that took all of 2016 off and probably will just barely reach XB1 levels of hardware? I don't think anyone needs to worry

Yeah, it'd be baffling, but why else shove this sort of thing out there now, if they weren't trying, for some reason, to head off the NX? There's certainly not been any hype or buzz for an announcement like this, only rumors and "leaks".

Why do you assume Nintendo when the much more obvious reason is PlaystationVR which needs high resolution and rock solid framerate

I would say all the best looking playstation games have come out when the system is at its end. Release titles just didn't look as good as those end life games, nor did they have close to the same gameplay value.

I.E. Shadow of the Colossus vs all the PS3 release titles. I know there's a bunch more on PS1 & 2 but just can't remember because of time.

MGS4 was amazing. It had closure. It had to have a long ending sequence because it was supposed to be the end of the series.

The problem today is you spend 50 hours beating the game and its a 30 second video basically hi fiving you. Zero closure sometimes it makes the game just a shaggy dog story, like give us $60 bucks for nothing to happen. HAHA good job!
