Edit used disclaimer incorrectly, should have said something like:
Noteworthy point: I’ve beaten every modern doom on nightmare.
This doom game is such a departure from the doom series that it is just a bad game.
The game can be beaten with a single gun and parry. Every single time I ‘struggled’ it was because I was playing the game to have fun (silly me) and wasn’t spamming shield. Every single encounter ended almost immediately once parry spam was activated.
The final boss literally did not touch me. This game was a really really bad joke.
Edit: I am genuinely convinced there is a fleet of shills portraying this game as good and a lot of old people influencing it. Like, they downgraded the game to a fucking boomer shooter. This game gave me destiny vibes, in that it was a very pretty cake only to find that it was filled with shit.
Edit 2: I forgot the most important part; there isn’t a single difficulty related achievement. I know, because I beat the game on nightmare.
It’s not the souls/weapons that we get at the end, it’s the useless (irl) skill set we honed along the way.
Souls bosses aren’t really rewarding except for the joy one gets from the fight. And if you don’t enjoy that all games give you plenty of room for cheese/overlevel/skip.
Maybe so, yes.
Each person should play how they like, imho.
That is what I mean by souls games giving you a lot of options to chose your player skill progression (gitting gud) intensity (and even end skill level, that it’s why people don’t level up etc).
I’m having a blast with it. It’s a break from the design ethos that was Doom Eternal. So if you’re looking for more Eternal you’ll be disappointed. This one wants you to play significantly more aggressively.
There’s actually somewhat of a resurgence for retro-ish games even among new gamers.
General consumers are mostly keeping up with the latest releases or updates because that’s what their friends or streamers are talking about. High fidelity adds to that but I don’t know if that’s the big draw. Especially since things like Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite seem to be the juggernauts right now.
Its just harder to create new conversations around something like Ps2 games because all the talk around them has passed.
My favorite part about my Dark Urge playthrough is that they often phrase the option as something like, “think about hurting the cat,” and that cat was just a dick to me so while I’d never actually hurt the cat, I can certainly think- oops, I just fucking tortured and murdered that cat.
Update: po reinstalu systemu i niepobieraniu magiska mbank daje mi opcje włączenia BLIKa zbliżeniowego, ale proszę o to już któryś raz i albo mówi “nie jesteśmy w stanie teraz tego zrobić, spróbuj później” albo w nieskończoność się ładuje a potem nic z tego nie ma. We’ll see
I am a FFXIV raider. Gear has been earned. But there is now a lack of culture. The game has lost it’s way. It might not be the game though. It might be all MMOs.
I’ll stay on Switch 1 and steam deck until there is a significant drop.
The Switch never went down in price after 8 years and neither did the games. I don’t think that’s happening until Nintendo makes a console that can’t run Switch 2 games.
It is a really simple mod to make. Any modder could do it, most likely, using original controllers even- the only thing stopping it is Nintendo themselves and their copyright. Using a 2.4ghz connection would be much better than Bluetooth as well. That’s something Nintendo would have to implement into the console most likely, although I can see that being doable.
Plus, their controllers are only really “good” for nostalgia reasons. They’ve been improved on in every way by others.
IMO they haven’t done anything good for the industry at all lately. I’m not saying the other consoles have either, I think they’re all shit. Mainly because of exclusives. Fuck that entire concept at it’s very core.
Hardware exclusives, OS exclusives, etc are all bad.
Nintendo is going the extra shitty mile with the way they handle copyright in particular, but the entire console industry is corrupt.
If there is a machine with enough computing power to run a piece of software, it should be able to do it, period. That is the technological ideal that should be aimed at. Not the “how much can I charge for the ability to play this game” idea.
I agree with you, but I also recognize that saying that to someone that clearly enjoys Nintendo products would be incredibly mean. So while I also imagine what I said could be seen as mean, it is far less mean IMO than just blanket dropping the entire company.
Like, I used to love Nintendo. But when Iwata died and Fils-Aime left NoA, Nintendo changed for the absolute worst. I could not hate Nintendo more, actually. Still, I try to not be super mean to most people that like Nintendo products.
I feel the same way - I absolutely loathe current Nintendo’s business practices, but I can’t deny they make fantastic games. So if someone can afford their premium prices, more power to them. I’ll be interested to see how Nintendo does this gen since they’re pricing out the casual market that’s made them successful in the past.
