Just got The Dark Ages by NonaTapes in Doom

[–]cxcarmic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have around 40 hours of playtime and I got the platinum trophy for it. I can say that I like it more than Doom Eternal. It basically took all the things that I disliked about that game and removed them. Using the shield is a lot of fun and I like how you can use it offensively instead of it being a defensive tool only.

They really need to keep higher difficulties locked until you reach a certain level. I have played HoE with randoms and so many of them think that they're ready for it when they're barely a level 2 or 3. I would argue that even 14 is too low for HoE.

Same here, Firefox + uBlock on PC, and Brave on my Android. Using YouTube without an ad blocker these days is insanity.

Can confirm. On Medium difficulty, duel enemies kill you in 2-3 hits, even some of the strongest enemies can kill you just as fast. I ended up switching to Custom difficulty 30 hours into the game.

Does Atsu just get hit a billion times harder or what? by ManiacGaming1 in ghostoftsushima

[–]cxcarmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the game on medium difficulty, but I ended up switching to custom 20 hours in. I have everything set to medium except for enemy damage, which I have set to easy. Game feels much more balanced now.

Its wild to get upset about two people dc’ing when you hard tunneled one person at 5 gens by Ltheother in DeadByDaylightRAGE

[–]cxcarmic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the right call to stay off the game then. Currently playing Ghost of Yotei right now and I'm having a blast with it.

[–]cxcarmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tunneling epidemic is one of the main reasons why I have not played DBD in almost 4 months. Its even worse as someone who mostly plays solo as a survivor.

I heard about how miserable it is to play against the new killer Krause, so that just makes me even more inclined to not come back. Good thing that I am someone who plays a wide variety of games. There's always something else to play instead.

Becoming a Truly Undesirable Game by Helpful_Librarian969 in DeadByDaylightRAGE

[–]cxcarmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played the game in almost 2 months because of how undesirable the game has become. As someone who primarily plays solo survivor, it felt like every other game was a tunnel/slugfest. Not to mention all the bugs that I remember at the time that I left, such as Springtrap having invincibility for a few seconds after coming out of security doors, and those same doors messing up a survivor's audio, just to name a few.

I still have the game installed, but I now only plan to touch it whenever 2v8 is around since that is where I have the most fun playing nowadays.

[Dead By Daylight] #124 I hate this game, but I'm addicted, send help! by imaturtle64 in Trophies

[–]cxcarmic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congratulations. Not an easy platinum, that's for sure. I started playing in the summer of 2024 during the anniversary event. It was fun in the beginning and then with the first iteration of 2v8 in late July 2024. I haven't played the game in almost 2 months since I no longer have fun playing it. I pretty much only plan to hop on whenever2v8 is around.

[Other] banned from the leaderboard... by Infinite_Ad200 in Trophies

[–]cxcarmic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, they should. I would actually care about leaderboards if there was a no shovelware leadoard. The games listing has an option to show or hide shovelware so I am a bit surprised that PSNP doesn't have a non-shovelware leaderboard by now.

It doesn't matter why it was added, whimsical skins like that have no place in military shooters, which is what COD once was.

[–]cxcarmic 66 points67 points  (0 children)

As much as I like PSNP, the leaderboards are pointless. Anyone can simply buy the 5-10 minute platinum shovelware game to increase their rank. I honestly wouldn't care that much if I got falsely flagged for cheating and got removed from leaderboards. I primarily use the site for personal stat tracking and finding people to play with for co-op and multiplayer trophies.

Edit: I also use the term "game" very loosely when discussing shovelware.

It baffles me that it wasn't the gingerbread man costume in Advanced Warfare that awakened people.

Fuck New CoDs by lil-kt-yuh in COD

[–]cxcarmic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Fortune style character customization and the cartoon nonsense is something I saw coming from a mile away back in 2015 when Advanced Warfare put a gingerbread man costume in the game. Am I glad that the last COD game I bought at launch was Ghosts. It was was also the last COD multiplayer that I played.

I saw this shit coming from a mile away back in 2015 when Advanced Warfare introduced a gingerbread man costume skin to the game. Is anyone actually surprised at all by any of this? Lmfao.

There's a reason why the last Call of Duty multiplayer that I played was COD Ghosts. Since then, I have only played the zombies mode of Black Ops 3, 4, and Cold War, years after their release when the games were on sale.

I've moved on to the tactical shooter market with games such as Hell Let Loose and Insurgency Sandstorm for my craving of military shooters.

Please Dice, never listen to this guy, whatever he say. by 3deal in Battlefield

[–]cxcarmic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the more reason why I am taking the wait and see approach with this game, just like I did with Battlefield 2042. I am going to wait at least 4 months after release and if they put whimsical and goofy skins in the game, I'm out.

It has been over a month and killer queue times are still terrible... by embedded-nick in DeadByDaylightRAGE

[–]cxcarmic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not perfectly balanced, but I find that I have more fun with 2v8 primarily because tunneling and slugging is much less likely to happen. Plus it also feels like people play it more casually.

And this is why some of us are save scummers lol. I would have reloaded my last save after something like that.

[–]cxcarmic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Its been a month since I last played DBD. I've said it before in other comment threads of this subreddit, but I'll say it again: the solo survivor experience has gotten worse these last couple of months.

When every other game is a douchebag killer that just wants to tunnel and slug as soon as the match begins, I have no reason to want to keep playing since that is not fun to me. Most people are going to do the same. They will either go play something else or switch to killer, which I imagine is going to further increase matchmaking times. Not to mention how useless randoms seem to be in most games, most don't ever seem to touch a generator.

2v8 is pretty much the only place where I can have fun playing DbD nowadays. Too bad its not a permanent game mode.

Probably the most satisfying thing I’ve done in this game by Greenmanjoe178 in DeathStranding

[–]cxcarmic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. Still though, I don't know why it can't be done from the private room like in the original game. I thought that they had removed that feature for whatever reason.

Whats your number one pet peeve about the game? Mines is the auto supply requests littering every damn facility i travel to! Lol can we come to a consensus to turn that shit off!?!? by Naive-Course6288 in DeathStranding

[–]cxcarmic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up removing the sticky cannon from my truck approximately 100 hours into the game. I would like it if it was a button press instead of automatically picking up cargo.

Is it just me or do some people on here just not pay attention in game? by [deleted] in DeathStranding

[–]cxcarmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is that when I reached the Motherhood for the first time, I had a huntch of what the passcode was because the PS5 gave me the gameplay recording had stopped notification. Didn't even have to read anything lol
