So, how is Doom really? Does it compare favorably to Wolfenstein TNO? Also if it is good then I may grab it in the inevitable Quakecon sale.

It wasn't Doom, if that's what you all were hoping for, like I was
Apparently did not kill someone's dog, did not bring gamepad support yet for PC Invisible Inc, and did not back port achievements for other games.

Well, the dev said they wanted to back port it "once it was running on the PS4". Running != Release... so it seems like they should've started the porting process at some point once it was solidly implemented on PS4... hell, they could've pushed a beta branch on Steam and got some free play testing out of it. But it sounds like they haven't even started the process... and if it's anything like their efforts to bring parity to from their other console ports to PC, well, we all know how that will end.

Those Klei-ptomaniacs took away our non-existent achievements and gamepad support.
I know nothing about it.

Something about waffling controller achievements and no syrup.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
See, Corrosive knows how to verbally buttfuck his point across.
Even the "exclusive" intro for Don't starve, too hard to implement on PC.

Not since shaka brah have I been so confounded by slang.

This is true. They don't do parity, after all.
Don't worry. Bus is just confused, as verbal butt fucking isn't really used slang.
The reason why some people dislike Klei is because of this:
- Klei releases a game with no achievements on Steam because they didn't think it suited the game, people are cool with that and respect it
- Wants to release said game on PS4
- Sony says that they are interested in the game but it has to have trophies
- Klei says kewl, adds trophies hooks and release it
- People get slightly mad because they went back on what they said was their vision, some ask for parity
- Klei declines because they still don't believe in cheevos
Not saying I agree or disagree with people, just letting you know what triggered it
Edit. Welp, guess they went back on their word more than once then.....

I know Sony's always insisted on the PS version of multiplatform titles having some kind of exclusive content. Are achievements the only thing that was added to the PS versions of Don't Starve?

listen to the mad man
I'll be in the corner erasing all the bad things I ever said about DooM 2016.
That's microsoft, and even they are pretty wishy washy about that these days.
No no, Sony is the same thing, just look at PC games that make it to PS4 down the line, usually in a somethingsomething edition.
The section_type = ownersonly flag prevents the game from showing on user profiles, among other things. It should have been removed coincident with the AU/NZ unlock.
If they were demanding it, like 90 percent of the dual PC/PS4 launches would not exist like Firewatch and The Witness. Heck Firewatch has a PC exclusive feature even. There's a reason so many indies are favoring Sony these days compared to MS, and it's because they don't have to put up with as much bullshit.
The Banner Saga, for instance, came out what, 2 years later, and has no special features or exclusive content on PS4
Achievements on steam should be mandatory, even more so cloud support.
here, I said it.
very late to the party edit: that Lightning dealwithit gif is awesome! what's wrong with you people?

Cosign to the first.
Interested in the 2nd.
You should go play it instead ;P
There is a purpose to gaming outside of achievements.
It's your k/d ratio

I really wonder whats up with Payday 2 Updates. Every time I only have 20gb left, the update thats supposed to be 2GB, will use up all the HDD space...

I just passed 5k achievement on steam. Not sure if I should be proud or not!
Don't let the initial presentation fool you, there is a fantastic game buried under the mediocre presentation. Think The Sims/Sim-city in space with specific characters all with unique voice acting and needs/skills. There is a mission chain that builds on previously complete objectives or an open ended sandbox mode. Build a Jacuzzi so they can relax, a bar so they can nurse their alcoholism, a library so they can actually be useful (looking at you Candy), mine various materials, raise space chickens, clear space weeds, brush out the base, a meeting place so Tami can talk to everyone, do some work Tami and more. It can get quite hectic quite quickly.
I don't think it's going to turn out to be too long, but a great game from the last Bundlestars killer bundle.

Who cares about achievements? I mean honestly?
When they come out at the same time they'll likely be the same but if it's later brought to PS4 Sony will push for some form of exclusive content.
That doesn't mean that every game that latter gets ported will have, and bigger/well known devs/games have a easir time of avoiding it but it does happen.

Apparently you can do so already with most games using Kaldaien tools
D3D9+ and/or OpenGL only though.

I wonder what would happen if somebody upload a zipbomb as an update to their free game?
Who cares about achievements? I mean honestly?
Those who achieve them probably.

Just got an email in from GMG this morning
"We have 2 copies of Doom to giveaway!"

I agree, since one of my goals for this year is to get up my completion rate to 33% I've started to just uninstall/hide "maybe" games that don't have achievements. Sure in the long run this might not be an healthy attitude but the way I see it, this makes me a have much smaller backlog with games I really want to play and give those games a bigger chance.
Having a shtiload of extra games that have achievements, specifically ones you'd have to "complete" would probably nuke your completion rating into the ground. They're helping you.

I saw the Doom giveaway on Twitter. I'm pretty sure I got in on time (12 hours ago) if I'm converting time zones properly. By the comment count it seemed about a 1/100 chance, better than you'd get in this thread, lol. I won Skyrim from GMG back in the day so hopefully my luck has recharged.
Endless Legend or Stellaris would be my choices.

Civ4?
Just made it work with Ori DE, can confirm it works.
I dont have either of those
also, wtf at this stuttering in Transistor?
it wasnt like this back when I played on release, this is unplayable. Time to hit google I guessTrue, I already have a bunch of games with just one achievement that severely impacts my completion rate, BUT, it has also made me more careful to start a game that I'm not sure about, so now I play games that I'm most interested in and I also give games a longer chance once I've started, so it's still good in the end.
