The control limitation you’re complaining about with Doom had workarounds even in the original DOS version and was fixed officially by Doom95... to say nothing of source ports.

Doom has definitely aged the best of the old Id campaigns simply due to the flexibility of difficulty levels. Turn on the fastmonsters cvar, and suddenly even on Hurt Me Plenty you’ve got pinkies and imp fireballs coming at you at 100mph as possessed soldiers tear into you with hitscan from the back of the room. Plus,…

Yeah, it was really starting to get old in 2012 between playing a lot of Borderlands 2 and Diablo 3 with friends, and by now I’m thoroughly over it, and it just feels like outdated design.

Already refunded it. Game is a dumpster fire of glitches and performance issues on PC.

Having spent a night browsing the VRtoER subreddit, there’s an alarmingly number of people who think diving face first at the end of Richie’s Plank Experience is a good idea, and way too many dads punching their children while playing boxing games.

Yeah, all I could think reading this was “why isn’t it like that already?”. These aren’t radical new ideas, they’re age-old commonplace measures that you expect every multiplayer game to use these days.

I mean, it pretty much looks like the Chrono Cross upscale fans already did 2 years ago:

Indeed, even when you look at competitors to Steam: EGS is primarily used for F2P games, free giveaways, and deep discounts. Stuff like GOG offers true ownership with archivable, downloadable installers. And their adoption rate is still low compared to Steam because people are too lazy to access another store, another…

They definitely take risks, but not the kind of calculated risks that other big companies take. When it comes to their less-successful consoles, it feels like they pretty much said “fuck calculating, let’s just do this cause we feel like it”.

Yeah dude, you don’t get it. Your opinions are literally a joke, so whether you think you made a funny, or are authentically expressing your love for Cortana’s boobs, it makes no difference.

Yeah bro, when I walk down the street and see women without their boobs hanging out, all I see are cubes.

I’d agree in the case of public figures who have already built a shady/bad reputation for themselves, people should know better. However it’s a parasocial illusion to think you can actually tell which celebrities are good people just by how nice they appear publicly.

When it doesn’t fit the plot or character at all, and it just blatant pandering to the horny teen fanbase, yeah. Halo 4 Cortana looks like she stepped out of the porn game Subverse.

Honestly, both the show’s uncanny valley soccer mom Cortana, and the Halo 3/4 playboy bunny Cortana, are both cringe in their own ways.

The budget red flag to me was seeing AKMs in Halo.

I see these people on places like Reddit all the time; they will defend inconsistent framerates to the death and cite an excuse like “immersion is part of gameplay” to justify actually compromising smooth gameplay to compete in the “slightly more photorealism than last year” contest.

Yeah, I’ve had a Samsung S5, 10, and 20, and all of them “just work” without any issues with “responsiveness”. The only real bloatware issue I had was back when Bixby used to pop up constantly, but disabling that only required a basic google search.

Yeah, exactly. At bare minimum, the Metaverse announcement needed to include a Quest 3 with the comfort and portability of a Vive Flow if it wanted to convince that it could have the casual ubiquity of Web2.

The problem is for every one person who appreciates 60 FPS, there are 10 graphics whores who would rather the devs tank the framerate to an inconsistent 20-45 FPS with more postprocessing effects and higher texture resolution.

...or CRT-Royale shader for that matter.
