Personally I think this game looks fun. Not revolutionary by a longshot, but I'm definitely giving it a chance. I know people have criticized it a lot, but so far it seems like they've only shown the opening level.
Man, I really need to pick this game up again. I haven't played it much since the update that made it 60 FPS on Pro, and then a little bit more after the Next update.
Another thing I'll say is that I don't recall this game ever billing itself as a part of the MCU, and neither was Spiderman. So if nobody was upset about that game not using Tom Holland's likeness, why are they upset here?
The thing that bothers me a bit more is how overused Troy Baker and Nolan North are. I get that they're great at what they do, but guys, hire someone else for a change.
@Callmegil No problem. I don't really know why he calls himself that when he barely ever reviews tech, but yeah...maybe I need to fact check him more often. I'm sort of a casual listener because I just like listening to him talk about random stuff rather than actually trying to see if what he says is true. I can say though that Stadia definitely isn't for me, and I don't think internet is generally good enough yet for game streaming. Frankly I just want to have my games be physically on my system.
@Callmegil Call me biased, but I think he has a lot of common sense. He's definitely mellowed out in the past year or so. I remember he used to be a lot angrier and more aggressive, but he doesn't really strike me that way anymore. Anyway, he does say a lot of stuff I agree with nowadays.
@Callmegil Nope. He said the retailer probably did it like this to be on the high end so when Sony reveals the price they could go down in price instead of being low and then having to make people who already pre-ordered pay even more.

@GodGamer Have you played it? I bet not. I have, and I enjoyed it. Getting mediocre review scores doesn't mean I won't enjoy a game. I've enjoyed lots of games that didn't score great.
@wiiware They're entirely different games. The maps are all new, and the game is much quieter and themed more towards horror, though it plays much more like classic DOOM than DOOM 3.
Eh, really what I care about is just shooting Nazis, and I rather like the semi open world and RPG mechanics. Also helps that I have a friend who's willing to play this with me. He wants me to play A Way Out with him too, so I figure maybe I should get PS Plus so we can do it.
I love playing the DOOM 64 EX PC port, and I'd be down for this. I'd probably get it on Switch though. Unless there's a huge gap in technical performance, I always go for a Switch version of anything.
Disappointing about Contra 4. Seems like they could include Tate mode for those with rotating monitors or the game on Switch which would probably have worked good for the game's duel screen nature. Glad to have this though. Hopefully another Castlevania Collection is next up.
Nintendo's looking like an easy winner for me this year. No one else has had anything that interests me except Bethesda with Doom Eternal, but that wasn't a new reveal.
Honestly it could be 20 times more powerful than PS5, and I still wouldn't buy it. Sony and Nintendo have a ton of exclusives that I love. Microsoft doesn't.
I don't really play RPGs anymore these days, but for this I'll make an exception. I loved the original when I first played it on PS3 back in Summer 2016. Since then I've gotten it on PS4 and Switch also. Let's just hope this doesn't get delayed.

Re: PS Plus Cloud Saves Are Restricted to 1,000 Files
Can't see myself ever hitting that limit... although I don't have PS Plus as I prefer to just make local backups and store them on Google Drive.
Re: Soapbox: I'm Collecting Every NFL Game Ever Released on PlayStation
@get2sammyb See, when I first saw this article, I thought it said "I'm collecting every game ever made on PlayStation." 😂
Re: Hands On: No Man's Sky Beyond Brings a New Lease of Life to the Ambitious Adventure
I seriously want to get a PSVR for this. Also for Megaton Rainfall.
Although I think I may wait until they're done updating this game. Every time they do, I end up wanting to restart.
Re: No Man's Sky Beyond Patch Notes Are Truly Gigantic and Game-Changing
Man, I really need to pick this game up again. I haven't played it much since the update that made it 60 FPS on Pro, and then a little bit more after the Next update.

@AdamNovice I might have to echo that. Also Superhot.

Re: No Man's Sky's Beyond Update Launches 14th August Along with PSVR Support
It's really amazing how much closer this game is to the original vision now. I need to pick it back up again. Just too many games...

Re: Don't Believe European Retailer MediaMarkt's Sky High PS5 Pre-Order Price
@Callmegil Well...I saw his video on it, and he said the same thing. That it's not official.
Re: Don't Believe Swedish Retailer MediaMarkt's Sky High PS5 Pre-Order Price
I was actually sort of already thinking I'd like to try building a PC this next gen. I'd be missing out on Sony exclusives though...what to do...
Re: Wargroove - Pixel Art Turn-Based Tactics Finally Invade PS4
@Ralizah Days of Ruin is fantastic! I really should finish it sometime...
Re: PlayStation Propels Sony to Best Q1 Operating Profit Ever
@Neolit Ha, I just noticed that too now that you pointed it out. That does seem just a tad high...
Re: PlayStation Propels Sony to Best Q1 Operating Profit Ever
I'm disappointed, you guys were supposed to continue the song!

@GodGamer Have you played it? I bet not. I have, and I enjoyed it. Getting mediocre review scores doesn't mean I won't enjoy a game. I've enjoyed lots of games that didn't score great.
Re: Deleted Age Rating Suggests DOOM 64 Is Coming to PS4
@wiiware Me too. If you want to play now, just search for DOOM 64 EX. You can play it on your PC.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 282
Classic DOOM, Metroid: Samus Returns, Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War!
Re: The Original DOOM Trilogy Is Now Available on PS4
Apparently these require a Bethesda.net login for some reason from what I've been hearing.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Summer Gaming Habits?
Not being able to decide what to play because I've bought too many games.
Re: There Are Two New Wolfenstein Games Out This Week
Got Youngblood on Switch and plan to get it on PS4 as well at some point.
And for those asking, I'm pretty sure I remember them saying it's playable solo when they first revealed it.
Re: Huge Summer Sale Offers Weeks of PS4 Bargains on US PlayStation Store
I'll probably grab Subnautica and Superhot.
Edit: Wait, is this only for PS Plus members? That's pretty lame if so.
Re: Batman Arkham Collection Confirmed, PS4 Exclusive Content Not Coming to Xbox
I've wanted to try these so I'll probably wait for this rather than getting Return to Arkham.
Re: PS4 Exclusive Wins E3 2019 Game of the Show, Despite Sony's Absence
Now seems like an opportune moment for that picture of Kaz Hirai doing his best troll face.
Re: Kratos Almost Axed from God of War PS4 in Favour of a Brand New Protagonist
Thank you, Barlog. Best game I've played in a long time. Wouldn't have been the same without ole' Kratos.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - The Finest Castlevania Game Never Made
Do we know when Zangetsu will become playable? I plan to get this game, but I'll probably wait for bug fixes and DLC.
Re: Grab Something for the Weekend in New Flash Sale on US PlayStation Store
Think I'm gonna try Amnesia Collection and Resident Evil Code Veronica X.
Re: Poll: What Was the Best PS4 Game of E3 2019?
I vote DOOM Eternal, Wolfenstein Youngblood, and FFVII Remake.
Re: Feature: All the E3 2019 Press Conferences Rated and Reviewed
@ShogunRok Can we agree to just call it the Switcher 3 now?
Re: Contra Anniversary Collection - A Good But Repetitive Package of Retro Shooters
Disappointing about Contra 4. Seems like they could include Tate mode for those with rotating monitors or the game on Switch which would probably have worked good for the game's duel screen nature. Glad to have this though. Hopefully another Castlevania Collection is next up.

Awesome. I've been looking forward to this.
Re: Reaction: Sony Bailed on E3 2019, And Took Gameplay Demos with It
Nintendo's looking like an easy winner for me this year. No one else has had anything that interests me except Bethesda with Doom Eternal, but that wasn't a new reveal.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Ubisoft's E3 2019 Press Conference?
All Ubisoft would have to do to win E3 for me would be a Splinter Cell collection. Like...please?!
Re: Guide: Days of Play PS4 Sale - All Discounts on PS4 Games, Consoles, PS Plus, and More

Re: E3 2019: DOOM Eternal Rips and Tears a Late November Release Date
PS4 AND Switch copy. Day 1.
Re: The Uncharted Movie Might Actually Be Happening, Tom Holland Plays Nathan Drake in December 2020
Not who I would have picked...I really think Paul Rudd would have made a fantastic Nathan Drake.

Re: Pre-Order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and You Get a Captain Price Figurine
I feel like this game is gonna confuse casual consumers so much.
Re: Rumour: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Release Date Leaked Ahead of Reveal
@BearsEatBeets I hear there will also be lots of explosions and swearing. Truly innovative indeed!
