Playing it on Dolphin just for decent screen resolution, classic controller support, and ease of recording.

Thought as much. Still, it's nice to be done with a game like that, in a way. You did it!
Maybe one day I will finally get to MGS. Ah, who am I kidding? That's been a running gag for the last decade at this point

It sadly doesn't
But at least the gameplay is as you'd expect it, and of course it's fun. I went in with the wrong expectations. Oh well. You're right to wait for a price cut.

"I should really get back to drowningles- 2 months ago?!" Wha happened?
Nice new theme by the way.

It's interesting how all it takes is a change of music, sound effects, and some coloured lighting to turn Doom 1 into a much spookier experience, without changing the game play at all. I don't know if you've played or seen the PlayStation port of Doom, but it did just that. 'Stop Skeletons' covered it really well: [Link]
"Familiar, but different. It's sometimes like playing these levels again for the first time."
"It is full stop, some of the greatest music ever composed for horror. It sounds like Hell. It sounds like anxiety."

Glad you liked Doom 64, and kudos on completing it. Secret levels too?
People dismissed it back then because it stuck with sprites instead of going full 3D. Now it's known for its unique art style and atmosphere. I'll take good sprites and textures over shite models any day, and D64 has some of the better enemy designs in the series; 64's pain elemental is one of my favourite monster designs period (and that noise it makes).

Yeah, D64 does go overboard with the hell knights in the first half. I will say that hell knights in close quarters can get tense in the beginning. What difficulty were you on? On Watch Me Die, the third frigging level introduces the cacodemon by stuffing 8 of them into the same room. I always forget how quickly D64 escalates when I go back to it, until I hit the narrow bridge in Alpha Quadrant and turn around to see the silent silhouettes of 3 pain elementals in the distance, or Even Simpler's barrage of high tier enemies.

"One last thing on the topic, is that the [Doom 3] imp's walk cycle is hilarious in contrast to the more gritty surroundings."

He's gon getcha *grabby hands*

As a long-time Spiderman fan, you could not be more right on that one, it is a pain to see a beloved character turned into a joke because a new writer came along with his/her own agenda and wants to change the character. "Peter Parker always loses people around him, so let's never give him a happy ending!" - dickheads at Marvel, Stan Lee is tossing in his grave right now, God rest his soul...

I guess it is all up to physics at that point, seriously though, it is just random at that point, only in anime would a bayblade hit other one like that, in reality, most of my duels were just me and the other kid watching which one will stop spinning first lol

You would be doing yourself a disservice playing DOOM on a console, but if it's the only way it is the only way, I would strongly advise just getting a better PC and then play, it will be worth it, except if you are comfortable playing an FPS on a console, in that case, you go for it! I believe you, that will be me with Yakuza games, 100+ hours and only 60% dome, fuck

Oh, I'm sorry. For some reason I thought you had it and recently finished it. I'm guessing I somehow mixed it up with MGS5 :' Congrats on completing that, though! Seems like it took a while, and I'm guessing it wasn't easy :D

Yes, sort of! Taking care of some goals with each playthrough. Sadly, it's not as fun as I was expecting it to be, but oh well

Edit:

Ah, I know what confused me now. I checked your PS4 list and assumed RE4 was the remake and not the hd version.

From what I heard it made million minuscule changes that were completely unnecessary, like most modern remakes, the only remake that comes to mind that did not pull any bullshit like that was the Crash Bandicoot N'sane trilogy, but others? Let's change this character's race/sex/hairstyle, there won't be any impact on the overall plot, but let's do that anyways, it is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to remakes, they always feel unnecessary, and inferior to the originals. Dead Space did need a new game to revive the franchise from the dead and a remake of the original was not a bad idea, but the original was perfect (IMO), so they only needed to upgrade the visuals, and boom, you got yourself a new game, but nah, let's change the main characters look to look like his VA, no reason why, it does not change anything, it is so dumb.

People will always find a way as long as there are enough people who are into that sort of thing, my mind was blown to find out that there are YUGIOH tournaments lol, it was such a bizarre concept that there are REAL grown men playing a children's card game for money!

Maybe I did not word it the best, but one lecturer stands and talks for five hours and then you go home, so five hours of talking and walking is too much, especially if its an old lecturer who usually does that for just two hours, but because we are dislocated to another location, we cannot have multiple people come, only one lecturer per day.

Awwww man, that is unfortunate, hope you will find a way to get into it soon, also I see you finally completed MGS V! Congratulations!
