Doom on the whole had the superior campaign with slighty better writing. It did drag in the last hour or so but that's a minor quibble. If nothing else it made Doom Slayer an interesting character, completely voiceless and faceless and they still managed to get some decent characterization across.
He has killing sprees that achieve nothing but somehow he ends up OK. Brad definitely wouldn't have lasted as long going outside in that Death costume.

I was pretty bummed when Doom ended cause I wanted more. I'd still love some DLC for that game.
Same. I played through the campaign twice in a row I loved it so much. An SP expansion would amazing. MP can go to hell.
Vinny is a trained psychopath. He is nonstop in his chaos. Brad acts like its his first kill every time he kills someone in Hitman. Like he just stands over the corpse for several minutes and then wonders how he got caught
Vinny:
Brad:
Yeah, they definitely should do that.
When they do it, I hope it's better than that Wolfenstein DLC.

Doom's entire DLC schedule being devoted to the multiplayer is an absolute travesty.
I'm still hoping for a Wolfenstein: Old Blood style single player expansion...
Didn't it bomb hard? Or was it just tragically over shipped? It's 20 on a regular basis now.
That's like every Bethesda game not called Skyrim or Fallout.
Bethesda keeps on saying it did pretty well. They even pitched their whole new review system based on how DOOM did.
Sounds healthy.
But that was more to "explain" to the consumers that everything will be fine if media doesn't get to review their games beforehand. Man, what a shitty move that is. I would just ignore every single preview event or trailer prior to release if I worked in media because of this.
Yup. It sucks.
It really seems like they tend to overship their titles. Same as Square-Enix.
I'm with you on the preview thing. I wish outlets had the balls to just say no to preview coverage of Bethesda titles. Most of them probably won't though.

I don't think so. Bethesda seems to be happy with it.

Are the sort of discounts that Doom has seen fairly unusual in the US then? They raised a similar point about it's sales recently on the bombcast, but it's kind of hard to get a read on the situation when pretty much every game gets knocked down pretty significantly a month after launch here in the UK.
I was bored halfway through Doom.
Just got Titanfall but I just moved and still don't have a TV so I can't play it. Hope it's a little more fun.
Also, Vinny playing Hitman was everything i've ever hoped for and more. I don't think there's anything in this world better than that trademark wheezing Vinny laugh. Although you could make a case for a true Brad-loses-it moment.

So looking through Jeff's Youtube channel, I discovered something amazing... Action Bike!
It's the closest I've seen to a "Breaking Jeff" feature. ('Cause lets be real, he loves Mario Party.)

Hey video games look really good in 4K as it turns out. I've been playing some Battlefield, which actually runs great in 4K, and I gave in and got Titanfall 2. The dynamic resolution scaling in the latter works fantastic (DRS in Quantum Break is terrible), and I rarely see the change.
Yes. I love how Hitman brings out the true nature of people. Brand being so Brad, Vinny being so Vinny. It really is a remarkable sandbox that enables people to do that.
GOTY.
lol who are we kidding here

I was on board with DOOM until Hell. For some reason once I hit Hell my desire to continue playing dropped off a cliff and it started to become a chore to me. Still haven't finished it, where Titanfall 2 kept me gripped the whole way. It never felt stressful or like a slog to me.
I love Jason but I don't know that I can watch him play God Eater 2 for an extended period of time.

Been playing through dishonored in 4k dsr and it looks absolutely incredible.

Xanadu Next? Like...Faxanadu Xanadu?
Also I just looked up Deathwing and saw it's from the developers of EYE Divine Cybermancy. It can never live up to what my mind put together as a possibility from that premise.

Earth's Dawn looks bad and boring. It looks like a worse version of an already boring game.
Doom has 1,2 million owners on Steam and I'm guessing the console versions probably did at least as well, so it probably sold fine.
Titanfall 2 is also like half as long.
But I agree that Doom loses some Steam halfway through once you realize the winning strategy is just running circles around the arenas and stun-executing some fodder enemy when your health gets low.
I just got the skill to hold two-handed weapons in one hand in Xanadu. And then I make it flaming.
Hitting monsters feels good.

I seem to remember it started out that way but for whatever reason got fixed or at least markedly improved pretty soon.

I thought it was pretty fun how Brad didn't want the last mission in Hitman to end with a "bad" kill. I bet if they just did the heart kill he would have reloaded. Good on ya Brad.
