Ehhh, I dunno man… 3D Realms spent years dicking around with the game and not actually doing much at all. From the looks of it, when Gearbox got hold of it, there was only so much you could do to make it anywhere near coherent. I remember when I played the game in 2001 thinking that it looked like a game that should've come out in 2005 or something…sure enough, when looking back at the development history and the behind the scenes bonus footage that was included with the game, the last time 3D Realms actually did any half-assed work on it was between 2006-2009. I think that ultimately the game was a victim of 3D Realms just announcing the game way too early — it was in this time period where the complexity of developing a game was quite a leap (don't forget Duke Nukem 3D came out around the same time as Quake, Duke 3D having sprite enemies and Quake having polygonal 3D enemies). It's quite clear that 3D Realms bit off more than they could chew with the development of this game, and by the time they picked up any speed with one games engine, it was superseded by better technology which would've made all their efforts seem lame. I think a lot of people forget that 3D Realms were an indie developer. There weren't that many people involved with Duke Nukem 3D. At the end of 3D Realms (before it's become what it is today): You look at the end credits for games these days, and they go on for fucking ages (the recent Deus Ex games spring to mind) It also seems pretty clear Valve have fallen victim to a similar issue — the whole point of the Half-Life series being released in Episodes was to help mitigate the time between releases, but the gap just ended up being as much as a normal full blown iteration, and then all of a sudden nothing. I can totally understand why Valve have canned any further work on the game. The hype for the next Half-Life is too big. Anyway, I'm sure I'm not saying anything there that people here didn't already know or think themselves about it all. I'm not too bothered about the delay to DOOM Eternal, however I am concerned — a delay that long, announced this close to the intended release date is not a good sign. On top of that, they already know for a fact that they're not going to be able to launch on Nintendo Switch and the game is going to launch without a much-hyped gameplay mode.

DOOM Eternal is delayed ? But at least those of us who pre-order will get the first official PC release of DOOM 64

I've been waiting too long though ?

November 22nd, yers

BRILLIANT

It's just you — he's referencing the most recently announced one

it doesn’t exist

This part says differently, though I guess everyone will have to just wait and see if they've bought yet another device with a design defect.

That video is one of the most egregious examples of everything wrong with YouTube, gaming culture, and Brexit.

It's a good thing Nintendo are treading carefully!

I got Mooncrash and the other DLC as part of a package, it was on offer on Humble Bundle I think? Definitely well worth the money I spent on it, I reckon there's at least another playthrough or two out of this game. Brigador was on my radar because Makeup And Vanity Set did the soundtrack for it. I still need to get hold of that one too.

I just finished my first playthrough of Prey. At first, the thing that annoyed me about this game was the whole thing of "You have to go and do A. Oh but now you need to do B so you can then do A. And now you also have to go and do C before you can do B, before you can do A". But I persevered with it, and I'm glad I did. Not only is the game storyline interesting, but I'm also fascinated by how this came to be out of the ashes of Prey 2 (which, by the looks of what it was originally meant to be, also didn't have anything to do with the original Prey from 2006).

Nope, it just says: Prey Prey

A My Bloody Valentine and BoC collaboration, being distributed via Valve's distribution system Steam. MBV Time + BoC Time + Valve Time = ∞

It’s been like this for about a year now

Installing the new Prey now (I'm old school, I have the original Prey too and it's fucked up that there's no way to discern between the two in Steam)

Finally completed Rage 2. The game in and of itself is pretty fun to play, especially when you have all the weapons and abilities. That ending is fucking shite though, just as shite as the first Rage. I guess it's cursed? DOOM ETERNAL AWAITS…

Nah that's not accurate at all, in my opinion. It's not even running on an id Software game engine (most people assume it's id Tech 6, but it isnt). The gunplay doesn't feel similar, the game mechanics are different, etc. It does, however, feel like an evolution of what Rage was, but much better. The scenery just looks great, and the skies in particular are rather nice, especially at dusk.

But my method of accessing the board at the time of the fuck up is via iPhone. Your solution is therefore fucking useless. Thank you very much.

How can I hit the Esc key on my iPhone?

Rage 2 is actually fairly decent so far.

Streaming is absolutely not a preservation resource — releases get edited or just absolutely deleted from streaming libraries so often. We had a preservation resource. Twice. RIP OiNK and What.CD

Yeah, I'd probably say it's not worth the cost and time of travel it'll take you to get from London to Manchester and then back again in the same day. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome exhibit, but it's gonna cost you serious money and time to make it there, it'll easily take up a whole day. Probably not worth it, unless you're more of a fan of Lynch than me.

I don't understand your posts, man. Firstly you say how you don't understand the hate, but then you write a big long post detailing the reasons why people are hating on it and also dismissing those reasons, but then say you want to genuinely know why people hate on it? If you feel like there aren't legitimate reasons for people to be boycotting the Epic Games Store, then you're either misinformed, or you're intentionally trolling — I'm thinking you're on the latter there, since you make a comparison to a console system (Microsoft acquiring Double Fine) and one of the main sticking points that people have with Epic Games Store is that they're effectively creating console-like exclusivity on what is meant to be an open platform. At the end of the day, it's capitalism and if people don't like it, they don't like it — and the legitimate way to show that is to boycott the store.

Maybe you should look up the numerous very negative things about Epic Game Store and the way they have sought these exclusives, and the seriously terrible privacy implications.
