Steam pre-load complete. Wife and daughter are going to bed. 2 hours left. 3 days free from work. Which leaves me with:

I still play the original Doom and Hexen. Not out of nostalgia but because they are great games. Even decades later. You have the Doomsday engine which is like a Steam for old Doom engine titles. Modern controls, updates, mods, wads, multi player, console, etc. It has everything.

I figured this was about Half-Life 3.

My pre-order was changed to a GOG key. They claim CD Projekt is forcing them to sell GOG keys. Same as with Ubi and Far Cry 4, selling the Uplay version remarkably cheaper than the Steam version. A pity really

This is not about the game not being worth the cash. It's just these kinda practices that I dislike. Probably a publisher thing.

I'm not saying you can't make a good story focused Doom game. I'm just saying that it wouldn't really be a Doom game. A lot of these modern game designers fail to grasp what made Doom great in the first place. Now I'm all for good stories, epic journeys and then some but Doom wasn't about that. The greatest thing about Doom was that it was utterly unpretentious. It didn't need a deep narrative, epic set pieces or great character progression. No, Doom was about demons and shotguns. The game was entirely build around action. Everything else was secondary. From the level design to the items you picked up, everything was there to support your merciless onslaught and it all flowed very naturally. But it's not about the shooting either. Even the weapons are just tools. No, the game centers around fast paced movement. The challenge is not about shooting your enemies but surviving long enough to be able to do so. There are no useless items, nothing to break immersion, everything helps you in combat and it's just one long adrenaline rush battling for survival. If they can bring just a fraction of that back then I'm sold!

I'm so glad I made this thread. Let's all rejoice together!

Hah thanks. Yeah I workout a bit, I like to remind knj to stop eating so many carbs

It seems as though America has done you good. You seem much more outgoing the last couple of weeks

I just came across this Kickstarter. It's looking very impressive.

Who does the CGI anyway because they are always top notch. Is it in house? I especially like the intro of the first Witcher.

Quote from SuperDuperYeah

So would you say that... I would get what's happening even though I haven't watched the old one. Is there like... subtle things that I would miss ?

You don't need any prior knowledge to enjoy it. You're not even going to miss subtle things. However, if you are a fan of the old ones then you'll recognize a lot. But it's not something you need. Does that make any sense?

I needed some time to process what I've just witnessed. I was very skeptical about this movie. But having Miller behind it with Hardy and Theron in the lead, it showed some promise. However, since the first trailer, which I must seen have a dozen times, I was sold. I was hyped. Usually, a movie can't meet those kind of expectations. Fury Road blew those expectations out of the water. This is Miller's magnum opus. A labor of love, crafted into perfection. The story is simple, dialog is almost none existent and still everything is told visually. The devil is in the details. With brilliant simplicity the movie manages to motivate ever character without the need to spell it out for you. You just get it. You understand these people and where they come from and what drives them. The world itself is completely mad. But however crazy it gets, nothing feels out of place. The action is spectacular and non stop. But unlike, say Transformers, it's not deafening and tiresome. It's well crafted and real with the minimal use of CGI. It's believable no matter how crazy it gets. But most of all, it's perfectly captured. You see what's going on it all it's glory. These 2 hours flew by and left me thirsty for more. It's one of the best action movies I have ever seen and I've seen a lot. It's also rare to see a movie put so well together. I can't remember the last time a movie made it into my top 5. But Max, welcome back!

Saw it. Wow, just wow!

It's a masterpiece....

We sat in the cafeteria while each of us took our go. If you asked you were allowed to go and watch the person having their go.

Talk about reading it in the right context!!!

That doesn't sound bad! Where are you going with this?

Quote from Hipshot

Im not asking cause I don't want the game. I'm just askin =) So, have it been on sale yet and is it a steamworks only game? =)

No, it's just out and it hasn't been on sale yet. Yes, Bethesda's PC releases are always Steam only.
