Easily my favourite of last three Doom games, despite the throwaway story and boring cutscenes. Battles are great, and I even enjoy mecha and flying segments.
I played both Soul Sacrifice and Freedom Wars on Vita and was extremely disappointed. Cool concepts absolutely wasted on subpar MonHun clone. Sony was pissing itself when Monster Hunter went to Nintendo, and as a result we got Toukiden - God Eater - Freedom Wars - Soul Sacrifice and probably many more clones. And none of them was good, they copied all MonHun shortcomings without being as engaging.
Howdy, good people. Bought limited edition of Assassin's Creed Shadows for 45$, and it finally motivated me to finish Rise of the Ronin. God it's huge. Also playing Doom Dark Ages on PC. Much, much better than Eternal, might be the best Doom game since 2.
First it symply refused to update and launch and I had to uninstall and download it again. Then it crushed my system when finally launched. But then I actually managed to get to main menu and it played flawless, 60fps on ultra nightmare without any bugs, glitches or hiccups. Finished three chapters and can't wait to play more, core gameplay is much much better than Eternal.
Just to be fair, linear and non-open world doesn't mean a short game. Persona 5 and Trails of Cold Steel IV weren't open world, but still are among longest games there are.
@Silenos as long as Ilive and breathe, I wouldn't spend a dime on f2p game. That said, I consider Aventurine and Sunday the worst characters in HSR, I rolled Aglaea E1 just so she could function without KFC boy.
No contest if I ever saw one. But if Clair Obscur didn't release in March... Then no idea, honestly. I mean, I enjoyed Horizon 5, but I played it three years ago.
Can we please stop praising Platinum for Nier Automata? Platinum only made combat, which was the weakest part of the game, all good things came from Yoko Taro.
I'm too old to feel nostalgia for x360 game. And I never really liked Bethesda games anyway. Yes, the world exploration is really good, but the actual story and characters are basically nonexistent.

Re: Poll: 10 Years Later, What Are Your Thoughts on The Witcher 3?
Maybe it's the best game of all time, I don't know, I couldn't stomach controls and combat for more than three hours.
Re: Beloved Ex-PlayStation Boss Believes $70, $80 Games Are a Steal
Try living in a country where video games permanently go up in price two times a year, and then tell me about steal.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for May 2025?
To be fair, Soul Hackers 2 and GBF Versus Rising are very nice games. That's why I already own them and this month got nothing for me.
Re: Inquiry Already Underway Over Lacklustre DOOM: The Dark Ages Opening
Eh, I'm really enjoying the game, much more than 2016 and Eternal. And poor PC performance is a joke, it flies on Ultra Nightmare on my 6800XT.

Re: Reminder: 22 PS Plus Games Expire on Tuesday, Replaced with One of Service's Worst Updates
I swear, Sony could require installing an anal probe to play their games, and people here would say "It's not that bad after you get used to it".
Re: Like It or Loathe It, This Is Why Sony Won't Stop Trying to Make Live Service Games for PS5
I'm not Sony shareholder so I don't give a crap what's profitable for them. I never payed micro transaction and I never will.

Re: Persona 5's Most Controversial Spin-Off Launches Worldwide on 26th June
Sorry, but Silver Palace just destroyed all present and future f2p games with a single trailer.
Re: PS5 First-Party Game Sales Will Increase Over Next Year, Sony Says
Sony could say anything they want, but it doesn't make Stellar Blade their game.
Re: The Precinct (PS5) - GTA-Style Sandbox Is a Dynamic, Addictive Cop Movie Homage
Will probably pick it up on steam deck, looks like a perfect portable game.
Re: Uh Oh! Victorian-Style Anime RPG Silver Palace Could Be Your Next PS5 Obsession
Love the setting already. Would prefer this to be traditional Action RPG, but oh well.
Re: One of This Month's Most Promising PS5 Games Will Get a Demo
Mercury Steam hadn't made a single game that I liked and at this point I doubt they ever will. I'll try the demo, but won't hold my breath.
Re: Stellar Blade Adds New Boss Fight, 25 Outfits in Complete Edition on PS5, PC

Re: Just Like the Game, The Last of Us 2's TV Adaptation Is Getting Review Bombed
TLoU2 is phenomenal game. I got sick and tired of it without ever actually playing it.
Re: 64% of PS5 Players Are Glad Mafia: The Old Country Isn't Open World
Just to be fair, linear and non-open world doesn't mean a short game. Persona 5 and Trails of Cold Steel IV weren't open world, but still are among longest games there are.
Re: Mafia: The Old Country Ditches Open World for Linear, Story-Based Gameplay on PS5
Great. Mafia 3 was Mafia game in a name only and sucked in general. I'm glad that Hangar learned from mistakes.
Re: Talking Point: What Should Ghost of Yotei's Biggest PS5 Improvements Be?
I just want a better story than "muh revenge" and no forced stealth segments. I also would love more cities less nature, but that won't happen.

@QiaraIris tell it to yaoi fangirls swooning over Aventurine and Sunday.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2025?
Not a single game here is even remotely interesting to me. And even if it was, they are all on gamepass.
Re: Plenty of People Are Playing Expedition 33 on PS5, Despite Having to Actually Buy It
I play it on PC via totally free Gamepass. Apparently don't support the game, have a small wiener and just a bad person in general.

Re: Top Final Fantasy 16, NieR: Automata Talent Leaves PlatinumGames to Start Own Studio

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Borderlands 4?
As always, it will get a shittоn of DLC and I will buy ultimate or whatever it will be called edition on sale dirt cheap.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Forza Horizon 5 on PS5?
Already put enough hours on it on gamepass. Certainly not a bad game, but I enjoy FH4 much more.

Everyone, please buy it, so Atlus will give King Abaddon the same treatment. It was so, so much better than Soulless Army.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 578
Dropped everything to play Expedition 33. I expected a lot, but it still managed to exceed my expectations.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?
Of course I'm playing it. This game has more in common with FFVII than the actual FFVII remake.
