Posted in PWB June: Burnham or Streeting? There's only one way to find out...

Yeah I've tried playing more and even a little bit is painful for me so I really might have to drop this, as amusing as it is to count the individual pixels on the walls it gets harder to do so when your eyelids pool up with blood. 😬

Fair play for the attempt I suppose, the port that is not me trying to play it. The PS1 version of Doom was the one that changed the atmosphere from 'rip and tear' to a more atmospheric affair right? Sounds cool.

Found a copy of Doom on the GBA in town and after three levels I can comfortably say this is the fastest something has made my eyes sore in a while. :sweat_smile:

I still want to beat it, but maybe a level a day, or two since they're so short but let's not push our luck. As for the game, it's definitely Doom but it's by far the worst version I've played, you can barely make out the shapes of the enemies you're shooting at a distance but it's vaguely got the 'run fast, shotgun demons' feel, but that's pretty much it. It has music and the sound effects and all that too, but levels have been noticeably cut down a bit which felt like an attack on my muscle memory

Tried the demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword and it was a fun game, but the demo was way too easy and I hope it at least has some semblance of enemy aggression in the full game. I know Onimusha was never a Souls game and that's good, I wasn't expecting that but I'm a little sad it's another 'everything is destroyed by this huge parry window' type of game, you have a parry and a lenient last minute dodge and both basically turn the demo boss into breakfast.

I bought the first two games on the double pack deal sale on Steam though, so can't wait to revisit those, especially 2 which is my favourite in the series. I think a 3 Remaster will happen soon if the likeness of Jean Reno isn't too big a hurdle to overcome, if not there's a decomp/recomp (I forget which is which) of it out there and those things are fantastic ways to play old games now, having given us ultimate versions of Lylat Wars and Mario Kart 64 and the like

Also, Musashi saying 'piss off' feels so absurdly out of place lol

Wolverine looked like the type of game where I'd want to play on a higher difficulty, because even I get bored of chopping people up in video games if it's going to look quite repetitive like that, he kind of just sliced and dived his way through everything, I didn't get Spider-Man and I don't think I'll get that to be honest.

I will say, Faye (Is Laufey her actual name) looked like a real badass, I like that she explicitly chose to follow through on her threat (He realllly cracked her jaw man, holy shit) and she looks way more interesting in combat than Kratos did, I still think they could have not stuck to the OTS with this one, but whatever this game isn't aimed at me I guess

Also, is the Tomb Raider game the 3rd remake of TR1 now or the 4th? I still think it looked good
