His avatar kind of resembles Aphex Twin, so he gets an like on everything.

This person is driving me nuts not zooming in and going for extra damage headshots with the machine gun ha

Where are you getting Doom 3 from specifically anyway? I didn't even mention that game. The gameplay and level design was terrible and one of the worst gaming letdowns I experienced when it finally came out so I think Doom 2016 is way better in that department. You're mixing all kinds of things into that post. I don't even think it's aesthetically better than 2016, it's bad as well, just not as bad to me. And Doom was never stupid. There's a reason it has such amazing longevity and is so revered, the gameplay, level design and everything else was like a finely tuned clockwork and masterclass in design. There are all kinds of subtle elements at play in its design like the color-coding of enemies telling you at the drop of a hat which gun to pull out and on and on. There's a great video about this on YouTube, forgot who made it. K, PM for my shipping address, thanks.

I'm playing on a soundbar with rear speakers and a sub. Sounds really good for basically anything else. I've tried all kinds of EQ settings, tried my trusty headphones and it always has that going on. I've noticed this with other Bethesda games as well though over time.

.

Has anyone here played The Last Door? That indie/pixely Point & Click Horror title? It looks really cool just haven't seen much about it.

Speaking of Wolfenstein, that fucked up sound mix has to be a Bethesda thing and not id per say. I've noticed the same with Arkane's games and several others under Bethesda. There's severe compression and limiting thrown over the entire mix in those games and it sounds like a wet blanket over your speakers, it's a mess. I'm broke!!! I can't afford that sweet master race shit!!!!

I'm actually seriously curious to see how this would work in practice. Some sort of overall additional tax for every citizen that ends up being paid in the form of maybe a check/deposit each month to black people? Something like a general tax like that would seem to be the only thing to even make sense to me, otherwise it'd be an exclusion fest, no?

Is Rachel Dolezal getting like...50% of the monthly check?

I wasn't 100% wrong because I still think it's a train wreck aesthetically. I also think the sound design is exceptionally crappy but neither can be held against its fun ass gameplay which I definitely was wrong about.

By the way, if you guys wanna buy me a gaming PC, PM for my mailing address, no problem! Alas, I don't have the money nor time to invest in such a venture. I don't have a computer at all right now unless my phone counts Edit: The only thing I hate so far control-wise is the weapon wheel. It doesn't react nearly as quickly as my inputs and I often find myself getting screwed because of it. The hot switch thing on R1 is cool to switch between two "favorites" so I often go for the Plasma Gun stun to Double Barrel blast combo but the wheel...no.

If I need a fork and knife for a fucking sandwich, it's dinner. My man!

I don't agree. I think it could've gone a totally different route, more like where Playstation Doom left off if you ever played that version. It went for a much darker version of Doom with its soundtrack, lighting and much heavier use of darkness. Many modders, and even John Romero, embraced this "style" subsequently. In my opinion, they could've doubled down on these elements and with modern graphics could've really pushed that H.R. Giger art influence and done something really dark and intense with the atmosphere without sacrificing the gameplay style they went with here. This could've very easily been sold to a modern audience just the same I think. Doom's original art most definitely went for horror, atmosphere and a sense of realism but was obviously thwarted by its technical limitations. Doom was fucking scary when it came out, at least to everyone I knew that played it, so I was hoping to see that fully brought out one day. I think it's a really fun game gameplay-wise but just think the aesthetics are all over the place. Some enemies look like Gears Of War's style, some have a goofy cartoonish style, the Cyberdemon looks like a moose fucked a giant crab, the hell environments are sillier and more cartoony than Mars...it just doesn't make much sense to me and is a big reason why I refused to give it a proper chance for so long. I pay a lot, probably too much, attention to aesthetics in games so hence my frustration with this game initially.

I'll probably pick it up soon based on your impressions. I tend to agree with your opinions so I'll swallow the whole fugly backgrounds thing.

I don't know what came over me after years of hating it, but I just bought DOOM Reboot for PS4 in some PSN flash sale because I just really wanted a shooter and well, it was cheap. It's...pretty fucking fun and addictive once I let go of it not being the Doom reboot I personally wanted and had been waiting for. It seriously pissed me off that I had been waiting something like 12 years for this when it was first released but with some distance, well, it's a really fun game overall. I still have my issues with quite a few aspects but again, I'm really hooked on it right now and really enjoying myself.

This definitely is on my radar, wondering how you actually control all those acrobatics etc.

That's a hero, dummy!

Everything goes into soup when you're about to starve in the millionth medieval invasion and/or one of two world wars. My great-grandmother used to make soup from tree bark and moss. You're welcome, Mr. White Privilege, put that in your American pipe and smoke it.

I almost believe a pizza should be rightfully called open-faced sandwich.

So we can all agree that hot dogs are heros?

I never thought it through to that degree

Soooo...what new absurd angle can we get into here now?

I mean, SFLU would've had to have banned himself at this point if it were ERA.

I meant the opposite. This thread would make those people's heads explode like in Scanners.
