Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.
If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.
Just finished Doom 2016 the other day. What an absolute fucking blast. I have not had that much pure stupid unadulterated fun in a video game in a long time. If Doom Eternal didn’t exist, I would not hesitate to replay Doom 2016 on a harder difficulty just to keep jamming to the soundtrack if nothing else. RIP & TEAR
I agree! That game is just pure fun!
I’m not sure why I didn’t feel quite the same about Eternal.
I still haven’t figured out what it is about Eternal that didn’t grab me as much as 2016.
Eternal’s difficulty comes from how many guys it throws at you. Sometimes I just felt like I just made it through a tough battle only for a second or third wave of enemies to show up. It’s like Doom turned up to 11, but 10 was already plenty for me.
Too much thinking for my liking. You need to juggle all the different weapons that are most effective on so and so otherwise you’re fucked.
Also a lot more storytelling, which was… fine? But, rereading my negative vote on Steam, was told using the worst possible UX/UI.
I recall feeling like they had this perfect game, but then somehow, someone decided to hand it over to Bethesda for a last pass because, no, it’s too simple.
Eternal made it really difficult to go back, everything feels so slow afterwards.
Idk if I just don’t play enough newer games, but Doom 2016 felt so fast-paced to me
Éternal doesn’t have the arcade mode though. That was such a blast. Also they complexified everything, which really broke my balls. Doom 2016 really was the peek.
DOOM 2016 is quite literally a blast. Mick Gordon’s work on the soundtrack is stellar.
I remember I enjoyed a lot this game in my PS4 and after I hacked my Switch I kinda wanted to try this ‘amazing’ port, even when it is surprising what they achieved with this it kinda hurts my eyes to play it there (especially in handheld mode if I remember correctly).
Recently I knew about Reverse NX and I think that might help to increase the resolution of the game tricking it to be in docked mode while the console is in handheld mode… I think that is my next “project” as I left the game unfinished.
It’s not actually a game, but I spent the weekend migrating a bunch of my Minecraft servers to Docker from standalone boxes. Went surprisingly well.
Now I just need to switch from Infrared to BungeeCord+Geyser.
I’ve been replaying Subnautica. It feels like a completely different game the second time around, but still fun. Plus they’ve got it running much better now than it was on launch.
Had a blast playing Subnautica last year.
I then waited to start playing Subnautica: Below Zero on the Steamdeck while on a flight for a work trip and that was a great experience.
The story hadn’t gripped me as much though.
Played it for a few weeks, but eventually lost a few days worth of progress when the deck reset and I hadn’t saved in a while so I haven’t gone back to it just yet because I was bummed.
It’s been long enough that I could get back into it without unconsciously trying to retrace my exact steps. Thanks for reminding me about Subnautica.
I’ve been playing Minecraft for the first time.
Yup.
Idk why I hadn’t, probably just the timing with my life when it came out I guess.
I’m a big fan of legos so that’s not too far.
I’m playing it vaguely like Deep Rock Galactic, although even a diamond sword pales compared to a minigun or flamer.
Yakuza 0. Sorry, emotional and compelling main story, you’re gonna have to wait. I need to make Majima’s hostess club the top in Sotenbori.
