Finished the last of us, good stuff. Started heavy rain. Stupid and pulpy, but I like it.

^ jazz but still hilarious, especially the part with the chickens

Debating whether to continue my second Doom playthrough in my attempt to grab all the Classic Doom maps. Hunting for secrets every mission can be a bit of a chore after a while tho.

Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4 has been out for a few days now, might get on that if I get bored with Doom.

friday nite my wife said "i want to play a videogame" and started going through my exhaustive steam backlog. she landed on terraria and probably played 12+ hours this weekend. which was good because she didn't give me shit for playing sfv (i didn't play nearly as much as her).

overwatch tomorrow

Still very much enjoying Doom.. only just met the revenant and acquired the jump boots lastnight, but damn I'm super amazed at the vastness of the levels. Combat is getting less strictly arena-based as I play, which is nice. My only complaint with the enemies is that damn trooper with the shield, almost impossible to destroy without explosives, gah!

My girlfriend started playing Hexen again lastnight. I forgot just how good that game was. I've got Hexen II in my Steam account as well, might have to get into that again as I never finished it.

Back to the present though, what other good modern FPS games are out there, considering I'm into the fast pace of Doom so far? I considered getting that recent(ish) ROTT reboot, but I looked at some videos and it literally looks like a remake of the original. Not bad but I expected it to be a new game..

I might just keep playing Doom until the new Deus Ex comes out, but it'd be good to know my options. My girlfriend suggested Borderlands; I may give that one a go..

Borderlands is great, though the 2nd is far better than the first IMO. Deus Ex, f-me I can't wait for the new one.

I really enjoyed the Crysis series as well, long (and very difficult if you up the diff level) single player, and rich multiplayer.

borderlands (bl2 in particular, havent played 1. was good fun multiplayer. its a bit shooty shooty get looty looty (get new guns, level up, etc , repeat) without much emphasis on level design. but its fun. especially if you can play it coop !!!

Yeah I hate those shield guys as well. I've found the quickest and most effective way to knock out their shields is to use the stun bomb mod for the Plasma Rifle.

Hexen II felt too Quake-y for me. The first Hexen tho is great.

Yeah still three months til the new DX innit. Looks like it takes place in Prague, Dubai, and other cities. And will use a new engine. I'm stoked as well.

Borderlands 2 is still the best thing Gearbox have ever done. Might be a while before I pick it up again tho.

lol

Got an hour of Overwatch in at launch last night. Good fun, and a lot better on PC even if it runs terribly on my machine. Looking forward to my upgrades coming in so it plays better.

Overwatch... 'nuff said.

bros bringin' his ps4 over after work today and we're gonna have an overwatch "lan" thing.

i didn't realize quite how little content would be there (5 maps and no single player) but i think i heard that all heroes and maps will be made available for free (basically exactly what they did for street fighter v but for some reason no one seems to care in this case).

wut, there are 12 maps right now

whoops! my b. i haven't had a chance to play full release yet but will tonight. don't know why i thought there were only 5 maps -_-

downwell is out on the VITA / ps4 for less than 10 dollar :^) played it a bit on computer but been waiting on a vita release for this one.

the default is horizontal screen with the vertical playing screen in the middle and big borders on the side, but you can switch it to 'tate mode' in the settings and play it with a joystick + button in vertical mode :):):)

yo! that's pretty sick clever :)

yeah so overwatch is pretty fun but outside of the entrance to the hollywood stage (the movie theatre) all of the levels very similar to me =\

yeah the level design isn't particularly inspiring

Finished Heavy Rain, that big twist is the dumbest most illogical shit I ever saw. Bleh

the twist that Sean is actually Rob, you mean?

Yes!

I'm reading there's a growing Overwatch porn scene lol

Sweet!

Anyway, still fighting my way through Mars-Hell. This game is fucking excellent. I'm almost worried that people will start mimicking Doom now, because all the things this game does it does SO well. I'm playing on Ultra Nightmare and I'm dying all the time but it doesn't get old replaying the same arena over and over, because when I finally finish an area I really feel like I destroyed everything in my way to get to the next section.

Ultra-Nightmare? That takes some balls. I hear it's pretty much a survival mode, in that if you die, you have to start over from the very beginning.

I'm playing on Ultra-Violence on my second playthrough, with my primary goal being to unlock all the Classic Doom maps. Secondary goal is to kill every demon in sight.

I might try Overwatch, but I'm not in a hurry. So my understanding is gameplay is top notch, but level design is mediocre?
