Blackmist, 10 godzin temu do games w The Steam Summer Sale is live now!

Half Life 2 and it’s episodes are always on a massive sale in a Valve bundle.

There’s a lot of stuff there you won’t play, but it’s a must have for the Half Life and Portal series.

Also Wolfenstein: The New Order and Doom 2016 are great.

I remember remarking at the time that they likely didn’t have much more than a terrain object and a title card.

Probably still don’t.

7 is pretty damn good for that engine. Were you doing a speedrun?

Blackmist, 18 dni temu do games w DOOM: The Dark Ages | Official Trailer 1 (4K) | Coming 2025

I really liked the first reboot, but felt Eternal overcomplicated it and made it like a memory game of working out which gun was best for each enemy, which isn’t really what I wanted from it. Too much finicky precision (like shooting the goddamn turrets off things), and not enough wanton carnage.

It took the story way too seriously as well, and the most enjoyable thing from the first game’s story was somebody starting some exposition, followed by Doomguy smashing the radio.

Just wasn’t feeling it as much as I was with the first. It was only the soundtrack that got me through it tbh, and with Mick Gordon very much not on speaking terms with id Software, I’ll keep my expectations lowered for this.

I didn’t even like the game, so the chance of this appealing to me is less than zero.

Running things like Days Gone at 60 FPS was a good enough reason for me.

Pretty much par for the course with Sony exclusives tbh.

Blackmist, 27 dni temu do games w My RuneScape-inspired fitness RPG, WalkScape, has a new Closed Beta wave starting one June 1st!

I guess World of Walkcraft was too close to a takedown.

I’ll keep an eye on this one because I do like my long middle aged man walks, and don’t care for the constant fiddling needed for the likes of Pokémon Go, which seemed to reward laps of crowded spaces over meandering walks down rivers.

Animal Well

Reminds me of old Spectrum platform games, like Jet Set Willy or Dynamite Dan. Only with better controls.

Sort of Metroidvania. Not overly difficult for the most part, although some bits took me a fair few attempts. Lots of secrets and hidden areas.

Made by a single developer, Billy Basso, who sounds like a comic book character, but a British one who says things like “cor, eh readers?”

Blackmist, miesiąc temu do games w Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo

Most games don’t use Dolby anyway. It’s PCM (although the console can often convert to DTS or Dolby Digital if you have a crappy old sound system).

Dolby Surround was only needed for mixing the surround channels into stereo output.

Yeah, that would be nice. I know people who lament the loss of the original Xbox Duke controller, and that the only thing closer was the similarly jumbo Dreamcast controller.

Could even unbundle them from the consoles, and just pick the size when you buy them. If they can make them in Hello Kitty pink, or endless CoD camouflage colours, then I’m not convinced it’s uneconomical to provide different size grips.

I’d think that too, but it does it on both of mine, and it doesn’t get worse over time indicating any kind of damage.

It’s only certain games that trigger it.

I’m still not 100% sold on the shoulder force feedback. Sometimes it works well, but many games do this odd thing where you hold it down and it clicks repeatedly and uncomfortably like you’re breaking it and I’ve no idea what they’re really trying to convey.

Blackmist, miesiąc temu do games w Favourite controllers

Definitely my least favourite PS controller. Those convex shoulder buttons were terrible, and there was genuinely no comfortable way to use them.

The motion controls were used in a handful of early games (and I can only assume Sony forced them to implement them) and swiftly abandoned.

Blackmist, miesiąc temu do games w Ubisoft Cancels The Division Heartland

I had to laugh when they described Far Cry 6 as AAAA.

It’s a buggy load of generic shite. I’ve never had to reboot my PS5 before because bullets stopped making sounds…
