Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
To be fair playing > watching. Could be a turd for all I know, but it looks fun.
A lot of folk seem to adore 2033 over Last Light for some of the deeper mechanics, most of which I felt were a shittier STALKER. A lot of the game systems have been downplayed, but I didn't feel their utilisation in 2033 was all that great to begin with. It's far, far more polished and better presented though, if a bit overpowered in your favour.
STALKER is one of my favourite shooters, and despite being hyped to hell 2033 failed to live up to my expectations. Last Light isn't anything like STALKER, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing it, unlike 2033. The game systems are most consistent, responsive, and satisfying. The campaign is long and well paced. Tons of atmosphere. Some rough parts that drag a little too long, and a story that isn't very compelling, but the locations and scenarios are memorable, and there's plenty of them. Satisfying shooting and stealth, the latter perhaps a bit easy to cheese.

Edit: Now it's just sat there looking at me, let me install damn it!
Did the second key (presumably the Doom beta) register for you? Mine's coming up as invalid but I wasn't sure if that was simply because Steam hasn't started accepting the keys yet.

Nice deal, getting in on this.
I love you, man. I hope Uber is for people who are good at shooters requiring skills rather than a cheap CoD aimbot difficulty since the Bethesda PR playing it in early streams didn't have much problems on I Am Death Incarnate.
Nah it didn't accept my Doom key either, I guess we will have to wait until they announce more (I think it might be good while off).
There is no Doom beta key. The app will be added to the pre-order subs when it's ready.
Edit: Oh, wait, SCDK being a retail key reseller (it's too late now but you really shouldn't have done that) may mean the second key is one you have to put into an online form at a later date to receive a Steam-friendly key for the beta.

what is this shit what the fuck am I reading
Please don't twist my words. The point is that SCDK is not exempt the risks that apply to key resellers in general.
How exactly did I twist your words?
You insinuated, intentionally or otherwise, that I was suggesting that Justin's case is "the norm". Regardless or whether or not his case is an anomaly, people should be made aware that SCDK is not an authorised retailer and since all pertinent proof of purchase material resides at its end, it can (and apparently has) revoked keys that people have paid for.
Touchy, clearly over thinking it a bit there pal.

Just preordered from Best Buy, these positive impressions plus the GCU deals made this too good to pass up.
The New Order is so good-looking I couldn't help but think back to playing Wolfenstein back in 1992. I decided to do a retrospective.

Well, if it wasn't intended as a rebuttal, I apologise for the misunderstanding, but then you were basically just thinking out loud, in which case the crux of my response still stands -- people should know that SCDK isn't the same as GamersGate or GMG and therefore they are in no way protected should something go awry. The appraisal of "I've had no such issues and in my experience problems are rare" instils confidence without properly contextualising the circumstance that people are accepting by purchasing a second-hand key.

I'll take this as a tacit acknowledgement that you understand where I'm coming from.

the game needed vehicles, just going everywhere on foot sucked. Especially with the monsters and bandits roaming around. If the game had Half Life 2's buggy, it would be GOTY

Probably the Doom Beta.
Shits cheap yo cant argue with that.
I can only assume that the second key retail copies come with is one that will be needed later when Bethesda launches the Doom beta -- think needing to register the key you get with a GeForce GPU on Nvidia's site to obtain your Steam-friendly Batman key.
Very true!
Pull the trigger. Then when you're playing the game, pull the trigger some more to kill some Nazis.

I'd like to chime in on the discussion here, and share my impression of the game I played at PAX East last month.
I played on what I believe to be a PS4. The gentleman at the booth told me it was a PS4, but who knows what was inside the kiosk. While playing the game, it felt very, VERY clunky. Movement was slow and heavy. The FOV is incredibly limited, with no option to change it. I played through one of the beginning stages of the game. Military base type place that you see in the gifs in the OP. Enemies ranged from infantry soldiers, guys manning machine guns in the bunkers, robotic dogs, armor-plated-minigun-wielding dudes, and a few others. It felt very much like a typical shooter.
I've played Wolfenstein before (RTCW was my favorite), so I know the first areas of the game are very often just WW2 shooters. Shit usually gets real a few hours in. I didn't expect to fight zombies and start building crazy guns in the demo build, so I have no complaints about that.
What I do have a complaint about was the graphic quality of the build I played. The draw distance was incredibly limited when you look over a ledge at the horizon. Everything that was further than 30 feet away was a blur. You could see the cutoff point of the ocean. It was a literal black line on the ground, with the horizon coming after it.
Trailers for this game have looked incredibly dope since day 1. I've been hype for this game. I waited 2 hours to play it at PAX East, but walked away really dissatisfied. I hope it was just the build I was playing and things have been corrected (FOV slider pls), but I'll be waiting to get this game until I see a final build being streamed.

Got my shipping notice from Bestbuy.com this morning. I wasn't expecting the shipment until next week. I won't get to play until at least Thursday night or Friday since I'm vacationing in Hawaii. My PS4 is hungry for some discs.
I wouldn't expect a FOV option for the console versions. Sure, id Tech 5 dynamically reduces the internal rendering resolution so as to best maintain a constant 60fps, but this just means that more so than (almost) ever a single FOV value plays a distinctly large part in ensuring visual consistency.
Dude, I already preordered, you can't tell me shit like this now!
Quick, someone, give me positive only impressions!
Does anyone know if the patch will install while the PS4 is in standby mode? How about the Xbox One? Is it possible to DL patches and install games in Instant on mode, but while the One is technically off?

Been playing for an hour PS4 version, here's my honest opinion (after 5GB patch):
Graphics - rough, looks very last-gen, no anti-aliasing, but at least it's solid 60fps, no dips, however textures are low res and rough (no mega textures?), character models look a gen behind.
Controls - a bit heavy, but doable, however, my biggest annoyance is you have to press Square button to pick up every single little item (ammo, weapons, health, etc), I'm about to get carpal tunnel syndrome. Wish it would auto pick up. Leaning is fun. There is ADS, but not using it, not needed.
Sound - i don't have surround sound system, but voices are very tinny, hard to hear, i love the soundtrack online, but haven't heard any music yet in game that caught my attention.
Overall - only 1hr played, but it's OK. I wish it would pick up, it's feeling a bit generic, I need some awesome moments. I keep thinking about the jaggies as I play, it desperately needs some AA.
I still recommend it, but I hope it picks up asap...

How does a game that is 60fps look like a last gen game?
