Thread for Gamers IX: God Howard Starfield Edition

[Purpelia]

I beat Doom Eternal. I think I liked 2016 better. This one didn't feel quite as epic. Also, it went a little heavy on the plot. And I'm not playing Doom for the plot.

I was genuinely surprised they tried to flesh out a story and the world of Doom as much as they did in eternal, i just think it was a bit messy and maybe could have been done a bit better.

My problem is with the platforming. It just didn't work well, was finicky and completely ruined the flow of the game. Instead of being this awesome machine of destruction such as I was in DOOM (the 1990's one) I had to stop every ten steps to spend half a hour trying to jump on a platform just right.

It also made no sense. Like I was lost by the opening scene. Cause it feels like they skipped over a lot of stuff. Like where the Hell did he get a castle sized spaceship for starters?

That being said,

blowing a hole in Mars with a giant BFG was super cool.

Yeah just where do you buy/get a castle spaceship from?

Talking of making no sense is the end of fry cry 5 when the opening felt like they were talking in a documentary filmed later.

I just found a GI post of mine from 2019 where I suggested a space murder mystery where the evildoer is punished by being ejected into space.

Basically, I came up with Among Us 4 months before I discovered it, 6 before I played it and a full year before the rest of the world realised it's a cool game.

Feeling like a genius.

From now on you should write down your ideas, release them online in a blog (no matter how obscure), and claim IP theft whenever anything resembling them takes shape. *thonking emoji*

That is a great idea, and you should be proud of it.

Picked up Days Gone there on the playstation store for 15 quid as it was on sale. Having a good time soo far though bit of a clunky intro. Sam witwer is doing a good job in the lead role of.. ahem, Deacon St. John (What a name), but man does he come across as a psycho at times and its kind of hilarious at how unhinged he sounds one moment, then is fine and dandy the next.

Also i do like how the zombies are done in this game, they do actually feel like a threat in this one where as in a lot of others they really arnt.

Okay, game is a bit buggy. Had a flashback cutscene there, and when the cutscene ended i was surrounded by zombies (that i killed prior to the cutscene) that had respawned and were running around me as deacon did a scripted interaction with the environment, then when it ended, he tried to do the scripted interaction that began the cutscene in the first place, so he knelt down on the ground with like 5 zombies running around him screaming but they couldnt hit me. And none of my controls were working so i had to reload a save.


So uh... bit buggy.

They never fix that,I heard people talking of that when the game came out.

I guess not no.

When i reloaded my save all the zombies had respawned despite being killed. So ill try it tomorrow again at some point

Recent game in Among Us

*body gets reported*

Dark Blue: Found body in the middle hallway.

Crewmates: *Disucssing*

Me: Wait body was in the middle hallway?

Dark Blue: How do you know that?

Crewmates: Cyan is sus

Me: You literally said the body was in the hallway!

*Gets voted out despite not being the imposter*

At least Dark Blue apologised after yellow won as imposter. I feel bad for getting onto Dark Blue, they did say it was a mistake.

[Valrifell]

My favorite imposters are those who self-report but say "where" out of sheer habit.

I always wanted to try a stack kill but i know it will never work for me lol

Ground control 2 had a banging soundtrack.


Also im finally beginning to interact with hordes of zombies in Days Gone. They feel like a genuine threat so far which is neat.

The phrase "beginning to interact with hordes of zombies" sounds like you and the walking dead have found common ground and are now busy negotiating trade agreements or something like that.

Well i did leave a dude trapped in a car to die so i could run like fuck, i guess that could be seen as a trade deal of sorts.

Fun times in Among Us: I caught Lime killing dark blue in Electrical. I immediately reported and told everyone. There were four (including Lime) left. Yellow believed me but black decided to skip for some reason(he was literally doing a task near lime when they killed). Next round lime sabotages reactor and me and yellow fix it and then leave to call another emergency meeting. Lime and black walked into the area and when I called the meeting black was dead. Needless to say me and yellow voted out lime.

So lime basically killed their one chance of not being ejected.

The Fallout 4 New Vegas mod seems to be coming together nicely.

Breezed through this game called Ryse: Son Of Rome. It was okay I guess. Bit of a basic hack and slash, but I was never bored. But it's not especially memorable.

Also wasn't a fan of the whole Gods interfering bit. Just seemed out of the blue.

I gave it a bash once, it was okay, didnt keep me around.

Alright one thing that annoys me gameplay wise about Days Gone is you cannot store weapons you find about the world in your locker. You can only store weapons you purchase from a merchant. I dont like this, think its a bit annoying as it seems like there are some guns you just cant buy as i dont even see them greyed out in merchant inventories like AK-47s, some hunting rifles etc. To be fair those weapons are quite common off of living enemies but still its annoying.

I think one of the most scariest things to experience in Among Us is when you're in a room by yourself trying to do task and then all of a sudden the imposter vents into the room.

This happened last night when I was in med bay on Skled and while I was waiting for samples to get done. The imposter vents into med bay and as soon as I saw it I panicked and just started running towards the emergency button as fast as I can.

Things that'd improve Minecraft immensely: vastly increase the amount of clay in the world. I've never been to Sweden and I don't know a whole lot about the country, but I can only assume it's the one place in the world where clay is some rare resource.

I'm actually running my own Minecraft world, trying to establish a town, and there's a shallow lake next to the town hall, filled with clay.

Was okay when I tried it on game pass.

Still a decent looking game, I’ll give it that. I love that sexy Rome aesthetic, Hollywood exaggerations and all.
