    The shooter market feels stagnant right now

    As far as new shooters go, the one i'm most looking forward to is currently in development hell. Why it's a big deal for me is cuz it's the first retail game to be made by the creator of Brutal Doom. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1409460/Brutal_Fate/ I think what could help make things...

    No one talking about the Doom leaks?

    Didn't see an article about it on PC Gamer Magazine but is it just me or do I smell a Ghost reference? I know there's very little info on Doom 6 right now, but what are you hoping to see from a Doom Eternal sequel? For me personally, I'd hope for the following: - Toning down on Eternal's...

    Think we need a Europe spinoff of Fallout?

    And watch as the protagonist is a well-renowned knight that had his entire noble house burned to the ground, just to justify you having the Pip-Boy 3000 UI but still having basic starting gear.

    Think we need a Europe spinoff of Fallout?

    That'd definitely be the case. I could imagine a lot of early game fights being mostly focused around melee weapons and you'd probably only get your first gun as a story quest reward. That said though, I think having a frogmouth helmet on power armor would make up for it. Though a more melee...

    Think we need a Europe spinoff of Fallout?

    Considering that the Great War was mostly between America and China during the events of Fallout, I wonder if we could do with a spinoff series that takes place in a less bombed-out but still likely irradiated setting. We've seen what post-apocalyptic society looks like in the Capital Wasteland...

    Random Game Thoughts Thread—October 23-29

    I dunno which playerbase is more... touched in the head between Killing Floor 2 or Mount&Blade. Killing Floor 2 because the Steam Community's acting so shocked that Tripwire/Saber Interactive added a pay-to-win weapon after condoning pay-to-win last year. Mount&Blade because even when the...

    Your yet BIGGEST disappointment?

    SD Gundam Battle Alliance Don't get me wrong, it's still very much an enjoyable experience for me, though my excitement for the game was more or less killed by the Steam Community's uncanny ability to burn bridges with developers working on the Gundam IP. Crap like this makes it impossible for...

    The Currently Playing & Random Game Thoughts Thread (21 August to 27 August)

    The me of three years ago would join in on the Epic hating bandwagon. But between playing a game that's competing with an EGS exclusive that ended up being worse than installing the Epic Games Launcher and watching the Japanese PC gaming scene give all the validation that Epic needs to bribe...

    The Currently Playing & Random Game Thoughts Thread (21 August to 27 August)

    Basically, they took it upon themselves to whine about SD Gundam Battle Alliance when it's really not a good idea to compare it against games that would never see the light of day on PC, and the aforementioned whining only succeeds in contributing to the hemorrhaging of Gundam game developers on...

    The Currently Playing & Random Game Thoughts Thread (21 August to 27 August)

    Considering the Steam Community's uncanny ability to burn bridges with developers working on the Mobile Suit Gundam IP, I think it's fair to say that said bridge burning is a pretty good source of validation for Epic Games' bribery of Square-Enix. And considering other issues I have with the...

    The Currently Playing & Random Game Thoughts Thread (14 August to 20 August)

    Considering Slipgate Ironworks' 90s-focused portfolio (Rise of the Triad, Rad Rodgers, Tempest Rising), what are the chances that their next game will be a point-and-click adventure game without the modernizations Telltale introduced?

    Weekend Question: What should boomer shooters be called?

    I think i like the "Doom Clone" nomenclature more, but that will likely have my age showing. Hell, Boomer Shooter more or less seems like a general categorization of FPS, and I think games like Ultrakill, Turbo Overkill, and to a lesser extent, Doom Eternal helped pave the way of an offshoot of...

    What was the first video game you remember playing?

    Considering how extremely early i gotten into video games, my answer's pretty fuzzy so it's likely a tie between Golden Axe on the Sega Genesis and the first episode of Wolfenstein 3D.

    Weekend Question: What game are you glad you waited to play?

    Brigador: Up-Armored Edition. Definitely one of the best top-down action games (it's more of a vehicular combat simulator due to tank controls and directional damage), though I obviously didn't get it when it was a new game. From what i've heard about Brigador's early development, it had a very...

    Question What ported games have been your favorites? Which fell short?

    I was mainly saying that because there's likely a lot more in the way of noteworthy examples of a console game having an excellent PC port.
