I'm so glad I never played that game. That looks like the worst boss fight ever. Or that person is really bad at it.

you can tell they're bad because they're using the high defense armor that slows you down instead of running around bare chested and dodging

I mean, I quit watching when they died. Who uploads a video of the final boss fight + end credits, and the first 5 minutes is them failing to attack the boss and then dying, and then starting the fight over?

Kb+m Vanquish is everything I've dreamed of and then some. It probably makes the game too easy, cleared hard with 9 deaths in 3h.

You'd think they would be a little ashamed of their like procedurally-generated-looking hallways with square rooms and like minimize the time you spend in them but nope

Supposedly the unlocked framerate in the Vanquish port makes it so enemies do 2x damage. Have more people tested it?

Hmm. That's interesting.

If you're feeling a little sad, would you reach for sad music or happy music? I've never thought about it before, but I think sadder tunes build some kind of camaraderie or something in those moments.

Looks like it's legit, at least with enemy bullets, according to this Steam thread.

That reminds me of Saints' Row 2. None of the mini-games are actually fun to play, and nothing about the gameplay except driving actually feels good to do. But god drat it is that game fun.

Thankfully Persona 5 has a bunch of pre-designed dungeons (though it also has a big procgenned one) and thus is much better to play. I don't really think that the writing is as good though...

This is probably false, since it would instakill you way more in god hard and most hits would send you right into emergency in hard.

New CrowbCat video, this time comparing the E3 reveal of DOOM 2016 to the actual final release:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU6uZW-wKuQ

It's a great watch for two reasons:
1.)People complain about game companies knowingly tarting up their E3 footage and then downgrading for the final game, but Doom was the one time someone was honest and the final game was actual an improvement and people unilaterally bitched and moaned about how poor it looked compared to games that lied and got ton of hype.
2.)When the game came out and was great one of the ways people tried to justify being wrong was saying that the early footage was slow and clunky compared to the final game, but CrowbCat shows them side by side and they are literally exactly the same gameplay and animations.

My friend convinced me to play Hero of the Storms, it's fun. I played DotA 2 a few times about five years ago, that's my background

Things I appreciate:
I'm a dummy who likes Blizzard's art style
The skill system is very intuitive
Not having to worry about a bunch of poo poo like items and consumables and stealing kills away enemy heroes or whatever
Games last ten to fifteen minutes
Playing co-op vs the AI means a sure but challenging win

Bad thing(s):
80% of the voices in the game are interchangeable dumb low gravelly demon voices

I don't know how long I'll keep logging in but it's good clean fun for now!
