Re: Review: DOOM (Switch)

timp29

I tried to play this back in early switch 1 days. Partly as a homage to the original which I played to death back in the 90s. The loading times sucked, I struggled with the playstyle that needed constant aggression and didn’t come back to it until switch 2.

Now that I’ve figured out the playstyle that works, wow I love this game. Just bought doom eternal when I’m only halfway through doom 2016 and fingers crossed dark ages lands on switch 2.

This is a very enjoyable game I have to say, but for those who played the original there is a learning curve and you cannot play cautiously.

I know WW is much loved, but I just couldn’t gel with it… at least compared to earlier titles. I would say for me, pre switch it’s probably #5.

It’s a great game still, but against some stiff competition. If I had embraced the game cube era and played at release, my nostalgia points might have been higher.

Essentially the seafaring needed to be streamlined and if they had expanded the undersea world I would have given this a 10/10.

But when you head into that last dungeon I remember thinking just how freaking amazing that point in the game was. One of the most epic bits in the series.

Finally got my hands on it. The transfer of switch 1 is ongoing. My box came with a Mario kart world download code that also took some time to install. The process was very straight forward. Mario Kart World is a bit samey, but my kids love it and I’m hoping it will grow on me. The 24 player is definitely more chaotic.

@N00BiSH I very much appreciate this simpsons deep cut reference. I suspect GameCube will be much like ‘the turkey’s a little dry’

I’m conflicted about GameCube. Wind waker and TP would be great, but as others have said, a HD remake is preferred. Which leaves just fzero gx, but honestly I’d rather play fast rmx.

GameCube probably needs some of the classics I missed like rogue squadron or metal gear twin snakes etc.

I will get the pass though for BotW, TotK and Kirby.

Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct May Drop Around The Switch 2's Launch

It kind of makes sense. We’ve had wave one of games. If they drop it in the days before, it might keep demand up when stock is low to build hype and exclusivity.

Also there may be same absolute bangers to drop. Weren’t people talking about a morrowind remaster, doom dark ages could be a chance, etc etc.
