I got doom eternal before it was on game pass and I didn't like it much, the jumping and trapezoid puzzles made me think I was playing tomb raider.

I don't really disagree with any of the negative things people have to say about eternal I just think the combat mechanics are just that good that it doesn't even bother me. It feels so much better to just rip through than 2016 for sure imo

Doom Eternal sucks because it doubles down on the "resource management" aspect of Doom 2016 that I really didn't enjoy but ostensibly is a great sequel.

Doom Eternal loving goes for it and I'm very forgiving of games that do that. They could have just made more Doom 2016 levels and strung them together with flavortext, but they didnt. They aimed a little higher. Didn't nail it, but that's okay, IMO.

I like DE but Im not good at the combat now that its so expansive. I've also got it on hurt me plenty or whatever is the kind of hard mode and refuse to drop the difficulty or my wife will make fun of me. I actually like the platforming bits but I havent played a platformer in like 15+ years so that might have something to do with it

Doom 5's story, when you finally suss it out, is fine. Its just told as poorly as possible. Gameplay wise I can see wanting something that plays a little more like Doom 4 but I can't agree, Doom 5 is the best action game releases this decade and what I loved about Doom 4 but more. Its also a huge step up in difficulty versus Doom 4 so watch out for that. A lot of people were like "oh I crushed Doom 4 on Ultraviolence, time to take this to town" and its not, its very very not going to just give it up to you easy. The massive increase in monster aggression in general and huge jump in action tokens the monsters have access to in Doom 5's UV is not for someone who beat Doom 4 abusing Siege Mode and Rich Get Richer

This is where I'm at, plus I think the combat is much more demanding than 2016. I felt fine playing with a controller with 2016, but on Eternal I felt like the game wasn't designed for a pad. Way more "if you don't hit the spider demon's tail in the weak point with the one weapon that disables it, you're going to have a bad time" situations. Also the levels were too long.

Oh forgot to mention because it bites new people in the rear end. Be sure to save often at phone booths since there is no autosaving. Archaic I know, but is what it is.

Zat posted:I enjoy GTA 4's car handling too and it's one of its redeeming features. I'm fine with more arcadey handling like in every other GTA, but I think I like that of GTA 4 more where cars feel like they have real weight. Yes I really liked the driving in GTA IV as well, it had good camera views/controls and the impact physics with soft-body damage were fantastic, though the cars had a bit too much suspension sway. Euphoria engine physics still aren’t matched in any game since IMO. Spintires/Snowrunner, Battlefield 1 and Death Stranding have the best feeling vehicles this gen I think. I tried to get into Forza Horizon 4 but I find it too sterile in comparison.

It's a safety measure, so more like the Red Ring of Life  although it would be better if the console hibernated instead so you don't lose progress

How are people buying the Brazil Xbox Live codes from CDKeys? I’ve tried twice now and it won’t complete the purchase. They send me an email saying there’s either an issue with the payment or I’m in the wrong region to purchase the items. I know the payment is working since I saw the pending charge (which came off), obviously I’m not in Brazil, but it seems like lots of people do this so I’m not sure what’s going on.

The developer of Black Desert published an article about backwards compatibility for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game on the next-generation consoles. https://www.console.playblackdesert.com/News/Notice/Detail?boardNo=5309&countryType=en-US quote:Xbox Series X/S Zerot fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Oct 4, 2020 |

Barudak posted:I learned from this that Black Desert isn't Free to Play which astounds me but not as much as apparently being the second biggest MMO in the world behind WoW Yeah, it's huge but I don't know how successful the console versions are. I believe it has been re-added to Game Pass recently after leaving for a few months. The difference in language in those two paragraphs is wild. They should know by now whether their game works on next-gen hardware or not.

Yeah the difference in those paragraphs is buck wild for what is a massive game. I played it a few weeks ago and the character creator is incredible but the actual game is just terrible across the board and I was like "hey what do I expect for F2P" but welp.

An Italian article about the Series X has been going around where the author measured the noise coming out from the console and compared it to a PlayStation 4 Pro. I know people are very concerned about noise levels in these new machines. https://www.everyeye.it/notizie/xbox-series-x-risultati-primi-test-rumorosita-prova-472586.html quote:Stanza 18-25db I don't know anything about Italian tech sites so I cannot vouch for if it is a reputable publication, but it sounds like both the Series X and PS5 are very quiet.

PS4 Pro isn't exactly the best benchmark if you're trying to compare console noise, but yeah I mean everyone fully expected both these machines to be incredibly quiet. They better be with how stupidly large they are.

The PS4 Pro has two models, the launch variety that inexplicably spins up like a jet engine on menu screens and a much quieter one that was released later.

The standard PS4 had that problem too, with its first model also ejecting its own disks when the eject touch-sensor sensed the heat of the console. Its great that such a hilarious and obvious problem made it into production.

Yeah the launch PS4 and PS4 Pro I got definitely got louder than later units I got. I have two newer PS4 Pros currently (with the smaller power connector) and they're very quiet. On the plus side, Japanese streamers got to try out the PS5 and some games and it, too, is extremely quiet.

Geoff Keighley seems to think Xbox has an announcement of some kind tomorrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKypaAyu3ME&t=6767s To Aaron Greenburg: "I heard a rumor you'll have a blog post up Monday" This lines up with expectations that another embargo is set to lift on Monday for journalists with pre-production Series X hardware. Seedge posted:Has there been any indication the Series will play more 360 or OG Xbox games than a One can do? No. There's an assumption that the BC team will start releasing games again after the launch of the Series X and S consoles.

No. They might release a bunch more BC titles once the Series launches but there's absolutely no reason any of them would be exclusive to the Series.
