Is the MGSV GOTY just a bunch of lovely cosmetic and item DLC like most GOTYs are now?

PC wasn't a massive gaming platform in 2003 and there was no microsoft console. That's not a very fair comparison.

Apparently Star Citizen devs started producing merchandise for specific ship jpgs that they're selling:



This is an exclusive offer from a brochure for the latest ship jpg that itself costs $750.

I hope people who like space games eventually get a good space game because it seems like every space game gets shot down for not being spacy enough.

Literally the only times I hear it brought up is to complain about it but I won't begrudge people if they were just excited, I just think it's weird to keep a grudge going against a game because it made money in a silly way and it's annoying to hear. It's free for discussion regardless of how I feel about it, though so whatever.

Transformers: Devastation is the coolest poo poo ever

I don't know poo poo about Transformers but I am smacking around giant bug-robot-men with drill hands and it's cool as poo poo

I was really sleeping on this game even though Platinum is probably my favorite game developer

Hey, all you old-school Doom and Quake players, I have a question about Doom...um, the new Doom. Not called "The New Doom" but just "Doom" for some stupid reason. That's strike 1, new Doom!

I've never been into multiplayer games because I'm a misanthropic agoraphobic human hating fire bombing loner. So this question is specifically about the single player. Also, I'm playing with a proper mouse and keyboard, not the NES Advantage or whateverthefuck incarnation of that homophobic racist Linkin Park kids use with their 30 FPS games.

I want to pick up Doom, but I'm not entirely sold on it. I haven't actually seen any videos of it since a little bit before its release, and I wasn't really liking what I was seeing. What I saw was some frantic, wonderful running and gunning, jumping and splattering and blowing away demons and it looked like a proper update to the Doom classic, a Doom for the new generation. But then I saw that switching between weapons brought up a weird UI and it brought the game into slow motion. Well, this offends me. Doom didn't slow down for nothing. Leaping behind cover and swapping your weapon and then leaping back was part of the chaotic fun. I know it was pretty simple back then; you didn't have to reload your gun or anything. But I don't LIKE the idea of time slowing down to swap out my weapon. So I am wondering, 1) can this be disabled and 2) if it can't be disabled, do you find this hurts the gameplay, especially coming at this from the thirst for Doom-like nostalgic ultra-violence?

My next question pertains to finishing moves. I think I saw a Youtube video with a guy playing a beta of it (or something) and he said that doing finishing moves makes you invulnerable during the animation, and he went on to say that that becomes a rather necessary gameplay element, with so much going on one needs a brief break of random invulnerability. This offends me. I've been playing some other games wherein performing finishing moves makes you invulnerable, and I use this to my advantage. If it's part of the game, I'm going to use it, but I sure don't like it. I think it pulls me out of the immersion. Not the finishing moves -- that's fine -- but let me be at risk doing it. So I am wondering, 1) Does it still make you invulnerable, or was that an early build feature, 2) are there multiple finishing moves for various monsters? I don't want to see the same finishing move 100 times, and 3) do you have to initiate the finishing move, or does it just happen mid-combat?

Oh, and final question: How is health handled? Is it like classic FPS games where you have to monitor your health and go get medikits and such, or is it like pussy boo-hoo modern FPS games where you just squat behind a table and wait for your health to come back you loving pussy wimp?

This top-down bullshit in Transformers: Devastation basically killed the game for me. I've failed this poo poo like four times and I have no desire to play it. Why did they do this?

Snak posted:

I don't watch videos of poo poo. Let me know when there's an article with pictures.

I played about 4 hours of Witcher 3 about 6 months ago and just went away from it to more interesting games.

From a game-play point of view it is utterly mediocre, no better than Ubisofts latest open-world collectaton and i don't really give a poo poo about the story.

The praise it gets is bewildering to me. I presume the people who love it play maybe 2 games every year.

I honestly did not like the single player at all in Doom, but the multiplayer was great.
