I'm replaying Doom on nightmare difficulty at the moment. It's very good still

Looks like a 'Battlepass' is on its way...... :rolleyes:

Hopefully it's all optional, as I will not be doing any in-game micro transactions.
I'll just uninstall the game if it's plagued with that post sales money grab crap.

I miss just buying a game and playing it.

This is the reason so many games are **** these days. Well done Bethesda - I won’t be preordering this highly anticipated game until I find out how it’s been screwed up.

It's Bethesda, this was what they did to Quake Champions. That has and amongst other things greatly destroyed the game.

Pre-ordering is for mugs - full stop. I won't be buying anything with tacked on Battle Pass garbage and 'boosters' either.

Ah no, I hope not!
I'm managing to get through Fortnite without paying a penny..

But I just play save the world not the battle arena version

Funny you should mention Quake Champions I've been playing that the last couple of days (and I've been getting my arse kicked lol).

Well according to this

Even the very best still get their asses kicked.

Every now and then I listen to this.

That's how you start a game, March can't come soon enough.

Really pumped for this, playing through Doom 2016 on Ultra-violence (for some reason I played on the pansy Hurt Me Plenty on first play through) and it still rocks. Though just got the BFG and am doing the first big fight/gore nest after it - having my ass get beaten so far

Been playing Doom 2016 in ultra-wide. Looks good but weirdly the game doesn't fully support it as some of the things like opening video are 16:9. Was a bit surprised as I would have expected this game to be one of the pioneers of this sort of PC tech.

Rroff · 6 Feb 2020 at 11:38

The echo of the Quake 2 intro in the intro is kind of a cool touch.

Tute · 11 Feb 2020 at 15:56

Anyone know what kind of extra DRM is going to be layered on top of the Steam version and why we even need it in the first place? I'm almost tempted to pirate it out of spite if they require that stupid pointless Bethesda launcher.

It does support it, there is a way to get it 21:9 as I have the Acer Predator 34A and played it full screen. Off the top of my head I can't remember how.

Edit: ignore that I didn't ready your post properly

That all sounds positive. It'll be good to give the 3900x a workout.
