I Can't Get Excited About (AAA) Games Anymore
mrthejoshmon replied to Major Arlene's topic in Everything Else
Ubisoft Sketchy as fuck I meeeaaan... - Ubisoft are quite possibly the worst offenders for making AAA look as bad as it does, them and EA responsible for most shit (remember online passes made to combat 2nd hand sales?, those 2 fuckers) that made everything objectively worse. -
If Doom 2 happened in real life, would we win?
mrthejoshmon replied to neubejiita's topic in Doom General
I'm fine. The demon horde approaches my position, England Setting foot upon her his Majesty's grand fortress, the demons realise something is wrong The demons realise this island is of little value and nothing good is here They leave England wins by default Didn't even need to use my state sanctioned fully licenced butter knife.- 48 replies

how would you rate your mental health?
mrthejoshmon replied to fruity lerlups's topic in Everything Else
Sorry, I forget it's free where I come from and the rest majority of the world (is it also free in Europe? NHS do a free service here in England) isn't as fortunate. Also depending on the therapist, some might be grifters but genuine professionals know what they are doing and my life is so much better. -

I say enlist in therapy today, I thought it would be terrible but actually it is fantastic and helps immensely. -
It was easy to piece together that each difficulty corresponded to how extreme the title was, also my dad explaining what they said and meant helped so I basically cheated this exam. I was way too young (to die) and often I think about how my only memories as a child included Doom existing in some capacity, wonder what effect early exposure had on me.

Gears 4 was painfully mediocre for me and filled with characters I couldn't stand (except maybe Del). IMO Gears 5 is bad, very bad, have like 3 hours in it, that's basically nothing compared to even the amount I put in Gears 4, hell I played Judgment more.

I'm number fucking 2, God I loved Gears of war before 4 and I hope this is a return to old form (it probably isn't).

I Can't Get Excited About (AAA) Games Anymore
mrthejoshmon replied to Major Arlene's topic in Everything Else
AAA gaming is less black and white and more grey for me, granted, the shade is anthracite. Seeing companies boast record profits whilst jettisoning entire studios on top of releasing mass produced "me too" live service and battlepass infested half finished con-jobs that die within literal months or complete clunkers that come out half born in a state between semi built and screaming mass of misbegotten mess (but hey at least the premium shop works) that they'll "fix later" (and then never do) I must say have grown mighty tired of it all. But there are still things that get me excited, now just with an air of caution: Space Marine 2 (I think that might be actually AA but the rate at which it is advertised says otherwise) There's a Gears of War prequel coming about Emergence Day, I hope it returns to the true Gears gameplay formula Perfect Dark is a fucking imsim now and I'm all for that Super looking forward to picking up Ghost of Tsushima later on Monster Hunter Wilds is more Monster Hunter, that's all I want Whilst sceptical, I am still looking forward to finally seeing S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, even if it sucks I still get to see another DNF tier release happen Age of Mythology: Retold is on the way, I'm currently blasting away at Age of Empires 2 remastered and hell yeah As much as I complain about the tone, I'm a fuckin mark and will play the next Doom eventually None of these are day one purchases mind you, I have long since figured out that letting others go in and find out that the new hotness is actually shit (dodged the disaster of Dragon's Dogma 2 because of that, was super looking forward to it too). It is easy to be excited for new releases but it is also easy to remain cautious and wait (it isn't going anywhere after all). Which is what I wish I did with the previously mentioned 3DR games I purchased in Early Access, "redefining AAA" my fucking arse all they did was perfectly match stereotypes of unfinished rushed garbage releases and mass staff executions. -
On steam these are my top two. War, always war. In reality, it is Fallout 4 and Warframe (both have 2000+ hours) but I cannot recover the stats as Xbox servers are eating mad shit right now

How is the average Doomworld user?
mrthejoshmon replied to average rodent's topic in Everything Else
I've finally enrolled fully into genuine therapy, got a therapist and everything. No further details will be given. Following this I have lost my membership card on being a forum member, I will miss most of you. -
I've already gone into detail explaining my inability to enjoy the tone set by newer entries, so no point getting into that now (TL;DR, it's the difference between the Punisher and Spawn, if that makes sense). There is not enough for me to go off of outside of vague outlines, however said outlines are immensely unappealing. Hot take but I think they could do a great game if they made something like Halo 3 ODST, the one where you see the events of the series through the eyes of a regular dude instead of the buffed up super soldier. Make the player a grunt of ARC or the UAC and if you want your bombastic dumb shit then just hand us one of those weird ass mech suits lying around.

I have a collection of old metal 80's/90's Warhammer 40k Eldar and Fantasy Battle High Elves, they just fascinate me.

Post Your (Other) Video Game Screenshots Here
mrthejoshmon replied to Neurosis's topic in Everything Else
Warhammer 3, I thought the defence was impossible, I was glad to be wrong -
I got a B in History. I love history, I used to go on massive deep dives into (mainly military/war) history for ancient cultures (mainly Egypt and the Ptolemaic dynasty, also colonial Britain and the great atrocities that we did they didn't like teaching us). Games like Total War only fueled this fire in me. It's fascinating the ways in which we planned, plotted and innovated for the sole reason of killing eachother, its also very grim and a horrible reminder that we are in a time of previously unknown relative peace.

Have you done any challenge runs of the IWADs?
mrthejoshmon replied to DoomGappy's topic in Doom General
I did a consecutive non stop run through Doom 2 out of spite when someone said it only took 20 minutes (then proceeded to link a video to the world record). It took 4 hours. Outside of that I did a Nightmare run of Ultimate Doom for Xbox 360 leaderboard ranking, was fun but ain't doing it again. -

And if based Grungo isn't Johnny Cruelty? What if you are barking up the wrong tree? Have you any actual evidence outside of "he appeared when Johnny left"? I think that actually Johnny was the scientist that brought Grungo forwards! We should be thanking Johnny for thawing out Grungo! He talks like him and goes to the same places because Johnny taught Grungo how to talk/act! Jesus, it's that obvious people, I swear literacy rates are at an all time low, for shame. I'm depicting you all as the soyjack on my cave painting, hope you're happy.

Totally legit WizardWorks Marathon compilation scan found!!

I am going to bury you alive. Just joking. Live dissection. -
Totally legit WizardWorks Marathon compilation scan found!!
mrthejoshmon replied to oneselfSelf's topic in Everything Else
Novelty mainly. Secondly, I am very curious on what would be included, it could be literally anything and that is a compelling dive in upon itself (I recently came across a Duke 3D shovelware that was utterly insane in the ranges it went through, one level was a bad 90s user map consisting of odd shaped rooms, the next level was a room filled with strange Build Engine mapping experiments in a fully designed test chamber, the next one was just high resolution (for the time) naked women). Thirdly, the custom content (the mentioned aliens and weapons), what could they be? It's intriguing. -
I'ma hypothesise real quick (and possibly make shit up). Trying to not sound pretentious (yet doomed to fail) but everything is mainstream, your wierd niche hobby is no longer wierd and niche and instead is now heavily populated with people who like it too. This is great, however, the individual can be smart, but usually the crowd is unfortunately very capable of being stupid, a bigger crowd is even dumber. As I've seen with many of once niche interests, the rise in traffic and participants will be grand and great but almost always will be followed with quality decline and abundant dumbassery (for egregious examples, see: SCP/Creepypasta). It's not always the case but it's remarkably common, especially when children catch on. When the fad (discovery/rediscovery) dies everything returns to normal and becomes the odd little niche thing again. Ultimately it just kinda happens in flux when something is discovered or rediscovered. At least from the live examples I watched happen in real time.

mrthejoshmon replied to oneselfSelf's topic in Everything Else
If this is actually real and legit I would love to see the "new aliens" and other wacky things snuck in. Already checked Archive org and found a few compilations but not this one. -
Been here for like 12 years, there has always been dumb shit posted (I was responsible for a fair bit of it) Recently however it is quite, forgive the term, "brainrotted", more so than usual.

So the catch behind the Fallout 1 bad ending is simple. The evil option is presented as a solution for mankind and you are asked to join explicitly. Depending on the dialogue you pick you can align with their vision under the idea that you will be a peer amongst the mutants (having been persuaded by the master) or you can join them out of fear of pain/retribution (you literally beg them not to hurt you). You are joining them to have a place in their world, selfishly, you have no idea if it does or doesn't work and are being told you are but you take the chance to save yourself. The Enclave are just going to kill you. There is no incentive.

Probably because it makes literally 0 sense, even from an evil character perspective as it has the nasty side effect of also killing you. Which a self serving evil character wouldn't do, and doing it because "fuck em" or "the hell of it" isn't compelling story telling.
