Got into EVE hard. It's going better. Surviving in dangerous pretty good now.

Doom Eternal.

Yes, that an accurate screenshot of gameplay.

I watched the documentary about Doom 2016, and the Game Director talked at length about how they wanted to skip the intro, the story and whatever and just wanted you to kick demon ass.
Seems like they changed their mind with Eternal. Story, game mechanic popup popup popup popup, then shoot a bit. Then new game mechanic popup, then some story, then platforming and then popup.
Then see the base, game mechanic popup.
Shoot stuff, platform a bit, then back at the base where you have to explore stuff to see stuff before you can shoot stuff again.

Lots of weak point targeting. Low ammo so you should constantly glory kill and chainsaw and flame throw etc, turning it more into a gimmick shooter than Doom 2016 was.
They clearly wanted to change things up a bit from 2016, but the game is worse for it.

It's still enjoyable, but not as good as I had hoped.

Started playing No Man's Sky again because of @Sundancer. Screw you @Sundancer!

Had to create a new character, my old one was gone for some reason.

Think I need to find @Sundancer and @Herr der Verboten in game and shoot their ships down.
I *might* have disabled multiplayer ;) Also I'm currently running away from pirates. I think this will be another 500 hour game for me so will be playing for a while although Eskom is limiting my gaming time (6 - 10:30pm tonight for me if stage 6!).

Oops! We ran into some problems.​

You are are on the list.
Not sure what this means, unless it means I'm blocked in which case, why? :ROFL:

Lol dammit. Sucks on the loadshedding though, it really does ruin the gaming experience.

Not sure I can do a 4 or 5th run in that game and it is already a perfect game on steam (all achievements).

I have a gaming laptop plus portable battery so it helps but with max fans when gaming it just doesn't last the whole time so I'm forced to do something less productive (like watching youtube vids on NMS :ROFL:).

Impressive! I still don't have a perfect game on Steam and I don't think I want to play this one on permadeath so I will settle for near completion and be happy I spent way too many hours of my life playing the game.
Most of time I nearly died was due to bugs like bizarre creep spawn or that death by jetpack.

If you open your windows, or go outside that door you would find a game called RL.

The rewards sucks but man the FX is just out of this world :p
Lies. When I go outside today I have my kettle bells (2x 16kgs RKCs) waiting to **** me up. At least I'm doing alt this week...
