DOOM, DOOM II and DOOM III all surprise appeared on the Switch today.
Ok, so who really wants to play these games on the Switch? Doom runs on everything. Whatâs the point.
Thatâs what I thought until I saw that they added local co-op and multiplayer.

I wonder if it still uses Port 666âŚ
I hate playing FPSs on controllers.
But with Doom⌠multiplayer⌠everyone in the same room having the same busted-ass controlsâŚ
That could be good.

My feelings exactly.
Yeah I would totally play old Doom multiplayer in a room for that bad Perfect Dark style experience (EXCEPT NOW EVERYONE WOULD HAVE THEIR OWN SCREEN SO NO SCREEN CHEATING!)
A word of warning on the new Doom Release:
Also your switch needs to log into a Bethesda.net account in order to play the game. Which is leading people to do memesâŚ
Just got a notification this is available. Why was it on my wishlist? Probably because Cavanagh?
Same. Iâm going to wait a little bit before deciding on it.
The development of Dead Cells is moving from the original developer, Motion Twin, to a ânewâ company, Evil Empire. But itâs going to be mostly the same people working on it. It was in finding this out that I discovered that Motion Twin was a co-op. I already liked the game, this just gives me more of a reason to respect the development team behind it.
Itâs interesting to see how much this departs from the AAA formula for making a game.

That new mini-boss update might be what it takes to get me back in. I basically played 10 hours and then gave up because I didnât have the time to invest in making runs that dead-ended at boss fights where there was very little time to learn their mechanics.

I really really really like the concept of Kingâs Bounty. the first time I encountered it was actually on the SEGA Genesis.

The thing is, the actual execution of the game makes it not so fun to play. The more recent edition that you can get on Steam:
has a lot of issues like slow combat and such that just make it a frustrating experience. Sort of like Actraiser, itâs a game with two parts and only one is good. I like to walk around the map doing questy shit. I donât like the turn based hex combat so much. The UI for it is bad and slow.
The trailer for Kingâs Bounty 2 does not inspire hope. Does it even contain any in-game footage whatsoever? Thatâs a huge red flag.
I think I might be better off just making the game I want.
OK I havnât seen any discussion here but as someone who played a shitload of the ol Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior as a kid, and sucked the whole time, I am super hype that this new game Ion Fury has just come out.
For those who, like me, havenât really heard of the game until recently or right now, itâs a fully new 2019 cyberpunk FPS published by 3D Realms. Itâs made on original Build Engine code from the 90âs, and plays like a polished version of the original Build games (Duke Nukem 3D) It completely feels as if it had been made in 1999 by the same teams who made the other 3D Realms games, and then simply been shelved; until now.
A few nights ago, I heard the game was coming out so in anticipation I decided to go back and, since I had bought it years ago, finally fully play through the original Shadow Warrior since I had never gotten past maybe level 10 as a kid.
Now the weekend has come and Iâve had a chance to get this new game and play a bit and yeah. It feels great. It really has the chunky, sharp, but detailed vibe of those old games. Having just come from hours of Shadow Warrior, I jump right into this and it flows seamlessly.
Itâs got all the fun, without the Duke or Lo Wang crude potty humor misogyny. The weapons feel right in line with the era, the health and inventory systems are clean and easy to use but not too different. The actual reviews out there do a better job of saying whatâs what but, for my take, Itâs hard to say this is just another âretroâ game just trying to sell based on nostalgic aesthetics. Itâs not a modern game and code base and design philosophy trying to use the aesthetics of the 90âs as a veneer. Itâs a modern take at a game made using 90âs era tech/elements at the core. And I think thatâs a bit of a different thing (though certainly not completely unrelated.)
Anyway, Iâm pretty hype about it and I canât wait to really dive in.
Thatâs actually kind of surprising, the devs are real shitty people.
On top of that, until a few days ago when they got called out on it, their studio was also following a ton of alt-right anti-SJW accounts, as well as a ton of prominent GGers and some white supremacists.
As I believe I have mentioned, Iâm super hyped for World of Warcraft Classic. The gang is coming back together and I am just so excited to play a game for the second time. If anyone is tacitly interested in playing and doesnât have a group of their own, feel free to hit me up. My guild is pretty packed, but Iâm pretty pumped just to help people and show them this thing I really enjoy.
Well thatâs interesting to read and a bit sad. I mean one generally wouldnât expect people working in the Build engine today to be the most progressive individuals, so itâs not too surprising in that sense to find out, but I wouldnât have guessed such a situation happening behind the scenes, based on the first few hours of the game.
Now, itâs definitely not a good look for your actual studio account to be following, well, all the sorts of shitty people, or airing their viewpoints in areas where people can see it; so thatâs a bit telling that the studio itself diddnât seem to care about that being visible.
But yes as far as Iâve seen in the game itself, whoever had oversight for it at least had the good sense not to echo the blatantly gross stuff that the older games were well known for; and perhaps that was thanks to 3D Realmsâ oversight (a bit ironic that) more than the devsâ.
Yeah, Iâd say thatâs at least partially 3DR looking at the âSuccessâ of other projects like Mark Kernâs failed projects, or black and white mess Hatred, or even Duke Nukem Forever and going "Uh, guys, maybe make a game we can acually sell to more than four angry weirdos, or find another publisher?
Yeah, Iâm genuinely baffled as to why youâd even have your corporate account following anyone who wasnât A)Another developer, B)Another Game, C)A relatively uncontroversial outlet or MAYBE D)A relatively popular gaming personality who has expressed interest in your game. It just increases the likelihood that youâre gonna get yourself in the shit.
But then again, these sorts have always been the type to wear their alleigances on their sleeve, one way or another, because far as theyâre concerned, itâs the Liberals/SJWs/Commies/whatever the popular snarl word is this week, so thereâs nothing wrong showing it off.
Where are ya playinâ?
I think a few friends and I settled on Herod. Also yaâll allies or horde?
