Polygon plays the first 30 minutes of doom, these are the people who review video games - General

[QUOTE=lilguy;50312853]Probably to fit their narrative that games involving guns and violence cannot be fun or good and are not meant for any general audience.

polygon should just fuck off, idk what the fuck they're doing but they're doing something so horribly wrong man, it's like they don't even like actually playing or reviewing games

Polygon needs to get it together. All this stuff makes them look terrible, but still, their Monster Factory series is still one of the funniest things out there. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qo1Aj_leEo&index=14&list=PLaDrN74SfdT6duuVl_8qxJ5eaaPHRX_ij[/media]

You don't live in Cincinnati and feel safe ever. Also, you're a gigantic fucking pussy.

I didn't know this game supported N64 controllers.

[QUOTE=TicTac;50310553]It looks like 2 people are playing on the same controller[/QUOTE] One time I wanted to introduce Portal to a friend of mine but she had never played a first-person game before and couldn't get the hang of the controls. We decided to cooperate - one of us used WASD to move and the other used the mouse to aim and shoot. Needless to say it was not very efficient.

Damn that looks awful. The enemies are slow to react and get staggered easily, they seem more or less unable to hit you when you move around.

[QUOTE=Niko_38;50315017]Damn that looks awful.

I've even noticed the imps are crazy good at leading their shots.

I couldn't even watch more than the first minute or two, it was like a cringe video.

I'm physically stunned after watching the first ten minutes. How? How?????????

Makes me wonder: just bad at games or spoiled by playthroughs with developer provided god mode and such?

[QUOTE=SteakStyles;50317163]Makes me wonder: just bad at games or spoiled by playthroughs with developer provided god mode and such?[/QUOTE] Eh, god mode was how I had enough of a chance to get better and not need god mode. This just looks like they're bad at games and barely play them.

The guy is playing a VR game and is complaining about his ears ringing as if he got fucking PTSD from playing the demo. "A gun model this realistic isn't fun, I'm not enjoying this". As far as I can tell the majority of the time he is talking it is about himself and not the actual game. It reeks of canapes and Filipino politics.

sure that's pretty unreasonable for a video on the game especially since it does fall under the category of 'not a real gun' but calling him a sissy seems more targeted at his opinion rather than the fact he expressed it where it didn't make a lot of sense [editline]14th May 2016[/editline] i would say 'man what a shitty video' and not 'wow what a fucking sissy pansy subhuman for not LOVING GUNS!!!'

I mean come on be brief and less melodramatic jesus. But hey at least it speaks volumes that a fake gun in VR feels real enough to be relatable to his past experience.

"i dislike guns" and "i am afraid of guns" are two [B]very[/B] different positions.

Guns are made to do LOTS of damage. To melons and bottles of water. Poof, pow, sploosh, kablang, melon bits and water all over the fucking place! [editline]14th May 2016[/editline] Seriously its just what you wanna do with it. I myself love guns because to me its fascinating that such a well designed piece of machinery is capable of spitting pieces of lead at such a high rate. I just like weapons, I guess. Not because I wanna kill people. If I wanna 'kill' people I'll just go airsofting and imagine there's blood all over the place. Guns aren't inherently bad. Its the person holding it that makes it an object made for terrible things or an object made for fun things. Hickock45 is someone who does the latter and Zimmerman for example does the former. But its hard to take irrational fear for a thing away, I suppose.

The game itself looks impressive to me, it al seem pretty well worked out. Also the doom footage was pretty bad, I don't play on consoles myself, but even i have no trouble adapting to a controller in like 5 minutes and the guy was still playing like he had 1 arm after 20 minutes.

I broke a nail while firing an AK74 now I have PTSD for life :cry: :cry: :cry:
