All Things Video Games & Game Reviews Part II

[Gonzo]

Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

I haven't seen much combat info yet but the article I read on Push Square mentioned a "chainsaw shield".

I don’t think they have any idea where to go with the narrative.

In todays gaming culture even if it was great no one would be satisfied. I don't know how they can live up to the hype tbh.

The devs have described it as "standing toe to toe" with the hordes.

Well the part I don't get is where is the coop part? I mean Doom 1 and 2 had full campaign coop back in the 90s.

Think Gears of War.

My best memories were playing coop and making deathmatch maps for me and my buds. I had a ton of fun doing Doom 1 and 2 as well as Quake with my friends.

At this time, Doom: The Dark Ages is single player campaign only. I really hope they add multiplayer later, but I don't expect it.

Doom 2016 had an amazing multiplayer mode. Including SnapMap that allowed you to design your own deathmatch levels. But it was actually not developed by id games who did the campaign. But I was a huge fan, and still play some Doom 2016 multiplayer to this day.

The follow up Doom: Eternal didn't have deathmatch multiplayer mode, but instead created a new mode called Horde mode. Which was a 3 player match, with 1 player being the Slayer, and the other 2 being a selection of different demons. It sucked hard, and nobody liked it.

Quake 2 was recently remastered, and has a cross platform deathmatch multiplayer mode that still sees quite a bit of action. Been playing that now and then. I still have some very fond memories of playing some big multiplayer CTF matches with a dozen other people. Everybody using the grappling hook to fly around the maps. Good times.
