Is Doom Beatsaber?

*edit: Dang, in retrospect I see how this comment came out wrong. I absolutely love the music from Doom, even though I’ve never played. So hearing that the music is lacking on this franchise specifically is a real shame, and I do mean that. What I meant, however, is that this little snippet of gameplay literally looks like an elaborate Beastsaber mod rather than actual Doom. With the movement, the wave shield with the color you’re supposed to hit vs dodge, the carefully timed attacks, it all looks like a rhythm game.

Yeah, I think they made that, too

Oh, that is quite rich

The censor is cannon. They even explain in BL2 it’s an implant to his voice box forced on him by his own company.

1. Slay the Spire
2. Tactical Beach Wizards (on sale!)
3. Rogue Light Deck Builder (yes, that’s the name)

While not a racing game in the traditional sense, the soundtrack for I Am Your Beast is what cocaine sounds like. Listen to Negative Time without vibing, I bet you can’t.

I was helping someone move and the elevator in the apartment received a call from “Walmart” saying they were trying to verify a charge for a PS5 Super Deluxe edition plus controller, and to give them a call back. Y’know the emergency call button in an elevator, and how it says when the light is flashing someone has answered the call? It was flashing. Very weird.

I know I’m late to the party, but have you tried battlebit? It actually is pretty good.

This bit is hilarious

Roboquest! I got my first completed run just in time!

1. That’s why I said keep and train, as in practice often and thoroughly. If you just buy a gun and shove it in your nightstand, you’re not going to be effective with it. You have to practice to get good, and that practice will save you if it ever comes to it.

2. Just because a gun won’t magically eradicate the killer for you, it’s not worth having? If we’re talking about maximally increasing the odds of your survival, we should be including every advantage you can get. If two people are being targeted for a killing, assuming all else is equal, the one that has a gun they are proficient with on their person is objectively more likely to survive than the one that doesn’t. You don’t need to be John Wick, you just need to not die.

So, what, just be homeless instead? I don’t understand how having a tool to physically defend your corporeal form could possibly be a bad thing, and this counterpoint makes no sense.

*living in a van could actually be a decent protective measure though, so that’s kinda funny.

I can’t believe no one has said to keep and train with a gun. The best way to live is to kill your killer. Secure channels and home security cameras won’t do shit if you don’t have a good way to physically defend yourself.

Calling it a rival is generous, even before this shitshow.

So this is a real actual question; is this game worth playing now?

Haven’t watched the trailer, but it just looks like edgy knockoff Deep Rock.

*Good news, it’s actually edgy name brand Deep Rock, but worse in every way. I respected Ghost Ship for what they made, but they’re testing that respect with every half-baked spinoff they shit out while the real thing decays in neglect.

My only word if caution is that the game will start you on Scout, and it feels miserable. You’ll unlock Gunner pretty quickly, so it doesn’t hurt for too long. The Warthog is completely cracked. If you see it, take it. Have fun, miner!

If a game is “there” in alpha, it’s a scam

From someone who’s played both, this is far abbas away the superior cat game vs Stray.

Yes, absolutely. It is both more technically engaging and less punishing than something like Stray. There’s no “damage” of any kind, including fall damage, so there’s no game overing to worry about. The one time I managed to “die” in this game, I had found a way out of bounds and then fell into the void. The game just put me back at my last spot in bounds, no progress lost, easy as anything. The only thing that requires any kind of skill is jumping and pouncing, and even then, only because the reticle takes a little getting used to. If we’re being totally honest, this game was made by one of the original Half Life devs for his children.
