[figday]

So i woke up this morning (kinda, it was 2 PM). Went to see my favourite game review site and saw this article

Spoiler: for ease of access

And a bit of a break from all this 'Skyrim' game discussions

Quake speedruns always look awesome.

 

[Vault101]

well "hints" dont exactally pop up and cover your enitire display

but yeah...kind of funny

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

30 fucking seconds of telling us the developers names and that they were using Havok physics EVERY FUCKING TIME YOU BOOT UP A GAME is so sadly true.

Was always more of an Unreal fan myself but yeah, it's pretty disappointing that high reflex fps games have gone the way of the dodo. The new Tribes game is supposed to be pretty good however, haven't checked that out myself yet but I've heard good things about it.

So true, i miss tweaking my sensitivity or just twisting my wrist abnormally..

Shooters are grey and brown? Wow, this is such an INNOVATIVE damn topic! Yes, I totally don't see this one every week.

The part where he starts slamming on his spacebar made me lol. Aldi? the food store? hahahaha...

This video is a sad realization of the money milking strategies used on games nowadays to sell to the largest consumer base to get the most profits. I hope some companies change this.

 

[skywolfblue]

Hehehehe.

I liked the "Graphics (ON/OFF)", so true, soooo true...

 

[repeating integers]

It's a bit over the top, but yeah, I see the point he's making.

 

[Iklol]

Needs some quick-time events, and a shitty driving section or rail shooting section.

 

[Raddra]

I saw the doom if done today one too, its hilarious.

Remember when instead of DLC, the developers released their toolset and the community made a ton of stuff, for free? Whatever happened to that.

Long as they're making obscene amounts of money, I doubt anything's gonna change.

Nope, I dont remember those times because they didn't happen. Quake, doom and wolfenstien all had extra content added for a price. The only difference between that and now is that now you download it and then it came on a disc.

This comment == day made. Awesome!

OT: I have no OT.

I like the modern shooter. I really enjoy games like Gears of War and CoD's single player. I played Quake (I'm not really the type who cares about graphics) and I found it fucking boring.

 

[urilukin]

they also forgot to mention that quake 3 was BULLOCKS!

 

[Jdb]

If you have a PC you'll probably like 2012 with Hawken and Natural Selection 2.

Hawken - Mech-flavored tactical arena shooter. Think of a slow Unreal Tournament with a few layers of strategy to compensate.

Natural Selection 2 - Possibly the only FPS/RTS hybrid in existence.

Kind of missing the point here. Did you watch the video? Quake is the brownest of brown shooters, but it's satirising the mechanics of modern FPSs, not the visuals.

I saw the doom if done today one too, its hilarious.

The QTE at the end of this one is brilliant.

I want to play Doom again now.
