Bannerlord continues to entertain. Being on the assaulting side of a siege is loving great. I charged my horse up a siege tower and onto the battlements and started hacking at dudes. Then I got cut down with arrows. Loving this poo poo.

Handsome Ralph posted:I can't wait till the standalone expansion is finished. Oh yeah, I grabbed that quite a while ago because while I was super late to the Subnautica-party, I felt like supporting the devs with early access. Release was originally planned for right the gently caress now half a year back, but they realized they'd need quite a bit more time to work on the story, so I'm assuming it won't drop before the summer. They're currently planning on wiping the story currently in the game, so if you feel like dipping your toes into it, you're not gonna spoil yourself on what's going to be the end result.

I'm mostly through my second shot at Subnautica. Last time I did not get as far as tripping that* timer, so it has been interesting. Right now I need some depth upgrades to finish the last of the story. *That 45 minutes or so of the Sunbeam coming in is interesting. It went like this for me, which is probably what the devs intended: 1. It's over already? Should have stopped answering radio messages. Guess I'll wander over. 2. Oh wow there is land in this game. OH WOW WHAT THE gently caress IS THAT. 3. Okay cool, alien facility, this is neat. Sunbeam is gonna flip out. Orbital defense system? Huh? 4. Alrighty then I have some disease and the Sunbeam is probably going to die with all hands in about twenty minutes. 5. Ooh teleporter shiny 6. NOW where the gently caress am I. Oh hey there's a neat outpost to watch the Sunbeam get exploded from. 7. Time to go caving.

Doom Eternal is pure entertainment. The id creative director Hugo Martin made a point that the game is basically ultra violent Disney. He’s not joking.

Yeah I just finished it this morning. Really enjoyed it but thought the platforming could get a little old. The last boss was really fun too.

Rebooting Doom 2016 is the smartest thing they could have done at iD. Doom 3 and Rage were pretty lackluster. Quake live was a great fan service but it wasn’t anything new. Doom 2016 was a kick in the teeth and felt like what modern shooters should be. Doom Eternal seems like the next logical step of that and it’s great. I’m one of those weirdos that still plays doom/quake/HL mods for my FPS single player experience, so it was a very welcome breath of fresh air.

Doom 2016 and Eternal are very clear examples of why having a singular vision and strong creative direction matter. They’re uncompromising in achieving what id set out to do. Eternal even more so.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:re3 is my favorite after code veronica Reviews say the remake cut a lot of content and takes about 6 hours to beat and has no replay value. No thanks for $60. I hope they do a really good CV reboot. It’s probably my favorite RE too (I really liked 7 though... until the ship portion).

Doom Eternal 100% Ultra Nightmare has been acomplished: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cliPqRwq-k Now we'll see where the record ends up. For reference the Doom 2016 100% Ultra-Nightmare is at 2:17 which is absurd speed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDkWioXuPz0 Oxygenpoisoning posted:Rebooting Doom 2016 is the smartest thing they could have done at iD.

gently caress the marauder. Talk about an enemy that completely interrupts the game flow. I’d rather have more bullshit platforming super Mario bullshit than him.

Once you get used to the quickswitch between the ballista and the super shotty he goes down like a chump (click, mousewheel up, click, mousewheel down, click). Just gotta time your shots to reset his stun timer once you get him the first time.

Q by default is also quick switch to last, and hold for for weapon wheel Prostrat is to rebind super and ballista to q and e. To go even further you rebind your next two favorite weapons to mousewheel up and mousewheel down, like rockets + rifle, but then you have to find new keys for the normal scroll. Much easier than pressing the 1-9 keys.

They basically just slapped RE2 paint on this and called it a day. Original RE3 was more shooty and city based and this just feels like RE2 with different characters. Oh and they apparently cut out Mercenaries mode. gently caress beans. Also the original intro owned and the new one is balls. I'll still play through it. So I got a free key for Borderlands 3 for steam. Boot it up to be told I need to come up with a Shift name. Enter "Handsome_Ralph" and apparently that name is abusive now. gently caress you too, Randy Pitchford.

I’ve just beat the first boss. How much doom do I have left? As I get further in the game, the less I’m enjoying the experience. Combat loop and mechanics are all great after the initial learning curve. The problem I’m having is some enemy types are genuinely loving annoying like whip lash and marauders. That and this very tight line of integrating more story into a game that doesn’t really need it and what is there falls flat. Definitely a step up over 2016 but there’s room for improvement.

So the first boss is the Gladiator, if thats who you mean, which leaves 4 levels and the final boss. It wasn't until my second play through that I really figured out how to deal with the annoying enemies. The game sort of goes by Rock Paper Scissors rules, wherin brute force always works but you benefit greatly from being quick on the uptake on when to use the flamethrower/ice/weapon mods tactically. Frozen whiplash's for example are easy prey. Soon you'll get even more powerful items. The runes/crystals/suit upgrades are a pretty accurate progress bar on how far through the game you are. Once you are ~90% you've only got 3 levels left. Last of the power ups are in Nekrovol (essentially Christian Hell) (minor spoiler) Which is really just a magical woodchipper to turn human souls into Argent to keep the lights on in heaven

I've discovered the best way to see if a game is bad or mediocre is to peak in it's respective games thread and if there's one goon just attacking anyone with less than glowing opinions about said game, game is likely flawed and not very good.
