How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

i really liked the new wolfensteins though they kick rear end and i loved the sorta cheesy, sorta serious, sometimes gruesome cut scenes that made you just WANNA KILL NAZIS!!!!!

I lost interest in TNC when I died for the two dozenth time trying to get out of a locked courtroom while the Nazi lady yelled at me.

I enjoyed it well enough up until that point though. :shobon:

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.


Is the multiplayer any good?

From what I've read it's better than a lot of the VR games on the market right now.

I'm sure it's not even close to the same quality though

The tech caught up with VR but all the game devs are dragging it down with the pure lovely shovel ware.

The best game for VR remains Resident Evil 7 right now because it's the only truly complete, good game that happens to embrace it.

PS: Why the flying fuckedy gently caress hasn't Rockstar put out a GTA:VR yet? They already added all of the high-detail first person stuff it seems like a no-brainer.

I've wondered why at some point everyone decided that walking around will make you sick so they all have these janky rear end teleport movement systems that don't look fun at all, but RE7 was just like, nah gently caress it, and you just walk around normal and everyone seemed to like that.

Skyrim is complete, and I think I'll pick up RE7, but you're right we need more complete games.

I don't understand why people thought the game was hard. It's not any harder than the first one so I dunno man.

The game was inferior to TNO but mostly in story only.

Also, any of you bitches get achievement for stomping hitler? It was the funniest part of the game since if you did stomp him, you couldn't continue the game.

GTA V is out of reach because you have to render it twice and keep it at a very steady and high framerate so you'd literally need like SLI 1080s to do it

i got the feeling that tnc was unfinished. it really could have used another year of development to work on the gameplay and map design.

Would agree with this, the ending (as in the boss fight)was just too abrupt and boring and Venus kind of felt shoehorned in because the moon level was so cool from the previous one.

Still, killing Nazis is satisfying as gently caress.

TNC is worth a playthrough to experience the story (which is great) and the game engine and art direction is also top notch.

RE: Gameplay

Let me put it this way.

What does the game make you do when Nazis have taken you down to low health in Wolfenstein?
It makes you run away like a pussy and mash E at a bunch of junk in hopes that it's health packs/armor.

What does the game make you do when demons have taken you down to low health in DOOM?
It makes you play more agressively so you can break the face of the closest thing with a face.

One of these is extremely fun and the other isn't.

Wolfenstein having bad pacing isn't the fault of healthpacks and they're better than the irritating melee takedowns thing

You bring up another excellent point. It's too difficult to not get hit since all the nazis shoot hitscan weapons while DOOM's demons are all dodgable projectile attacks. This is because DOOM is loving DOOM and New Colossus is a cover-shooter and not even a good one.

i quit tnc when my rabidly racist, violent dad was about to kill my dog. the game was trying way, way too hard.

later i heard that actually the game was gonna try even harder, and make me kill the dog. how loving desperate for pathos can you be

If you're not getting shot then your difficulty is set way too low.

I don't know about you but I didn't really enjoy taking frequent breaks in the middle of a firefight to backtrack and hunt for dogfood and scrap metal.
Punching a very ugly face instead of all that was way more fun.

TNC really did try too hard, though the part where BJ gets his loving head cut off in an execution on live TV, then retrieved by a little drone, then transplanted to the body of a Nazi super soldier grown in a tank was maybe one of the ballsiest narrative decisions I’ve ever seen in a big dumb shootmans game.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

Doom makes you sit through them and it's funny because the doom guy hates them too, so they know it's bad and dumb but put it in anyway for some reason
