A lot of people are loving New Doom which is great, but I've heard about the opening sequence and how awesome it is several times now, and having watched it myself on YouTube just now, I have to say that it's pretty unremarkable, I don't know what every else is seeing

Basically, everyone else is wrong about a thing

Check the box that shows the red on your minimap. Makes it way faster to get it over with to just follow the trail on there than hunt for it.

Mostly they do boring hour long stream recordings on their youtube channel with 1 review a month or so. The streams are hard to watch and everytime someone subs you have to hear rich scream so you cant even fall asleep to it

You guys tolerate way stupider shitposting (Stux) and way worse genuine opinions (80% of 8-Bit Scholar's posts) than anything I saw Lady Naga post. She didn't really stand out in that regard for me. Then again, I'm newish to these chat threads so maybe I missed some really egregious poo poo, but idk man.

Having actually gamed with Stux in BLOPS 3 (*YCS console gaming joke here, etc.*), it's pretty obvious he trolls just to get a rise out of people; he's an alright dude, otherwise.
Probably a quarter of the posts in the last few CoD threads has been everybody facetiously making GBS threads on everyone else's preferences; whether it be weapon choice, inverted controls, abilities, favorite game in the series, and so on.
But we all know it's just good natured teasing. Hell, not a few of us buy and play these games almost every year, after all.

I just wanna say that I really love having a community of SA members on my friends list so I can jump into a BLOPS group and chat and shoot people on the reg. It's something I didn't have before paying the :10bux: and it's been worth every penny and more. I've liked everyone I've grouped with and its been good times all around.

Witcher 3's Detective vision is better if you are playing the game without the HUD (or at least without the minimap). Then it feels like a useful tool. If you already have the search radius on the minimap, then it's dumb, but otherwise I was actually looking for clues.

I wish I could be one of those people who could play TW3 without the minimap, but enough quests give vague directions that I think I'd just find it tedious. Some of the quests, to their credit, give great in-world directions, but enough of them don't that it'd sap the fun a bit.

This, plus when Rich was such a whiny little poo poo about Firewatch "NOT BEING A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!" (so whiny that he actually walked out on the review out of pure frustration that Jack liked it), I unsubbed. I hate that bullshit so much.

Also Jack had the poo poo opinion that before people play Firewatch, they should go into the options, turn the music for the game off, and take the "You Are Here" map marker off, THEN play the game. He was insisting that like, the devs made a MISTAKE putting those on by default. As if the devs would have LOVED to listen to leagues of people being frustrated that they were lost because the map wasn't acting like a standard videogame map? Stupid loving opinion.

They also streamed Undertale in the most "determined to dislike this" tryhard way possible, voicing all the characters like annoying shits, and giving Papyrus a racist "oh lawd, mammy" southerny-black accent. Things like that piled up.

Yeah, I ended up using the main map slightly more, but I also learned my way around the world pretty well. You do a lot less cutting across country in a beeline for you objectives and a lot more looking at what roads get you where you're going.

Agreed about it being fun. Playing on the regular with goons has been an enjoyable time whether it's pub stomping or going up against tough organized teams. It's not as polished as blops but the verticality and rope stuff is a nice change up from time to time.

Jack was doing it! I thought he was the good one! :(

I just want Jack and Jay to be a duo. They're seem sweet and aren't as immature/racist/sexist/gross/outright mean as Rich/Mike, but I feel like they go along with/are encouraged by Rich/Mike to be edgy and annoying. It pays off in their social circle to allow it/play along when I feel like their hearts aren't really in it earnestly. :(

I feel like Red Letter Media jumped the shark for me when Jessie suddenly vanished. Mike has since seemed a lot more bitter/edgy (which naturally spread to the rest of the cast because he's the leader pretty much) and it's made me suspect that they broke up IRL and she was the one encouraging him a decent person, which is a lovely thing to think but here I am.

ID Software might be making a Quake reboot. :eyepop: The first game I hope, not Quake 2, I didn't like that setting nearly as much.

What we agreed in the doom thread was that the ideal situation would be basing it on Quake 1, but having the strogg from Quake 2 as the "techbase" world/episode. So you get both.
