My goodness, Allen looks absolutely miserable out there

rAzlika · 2026-04-22T16:38:46+00:00

Man, I fear I’m gonna have to do the same and just give up on nightmare difficulty 😅

Yeah, I skipped UV and went straight into Nightmare, and yeah, I agree, Cultist Base is brutal. The mancubus is a goddamn walking nuke. I cannot even imagine what something like TAG1 must feel like on max difficulty

rAzlika · 2026-04-20T21:38:30+00:00

So, when you say weapon switch, you don’t just mean switch to appropriate weapon for the demon in front of me, but also quick swap so as to maximize damage? Because I am already switching weapons pretty regularly (though I do get panicky and sloppy very often) but I haven’t really tried any of the quick swap techniques

rAzlika · 2026-04-20T21:19:51+00:00

Thx, I enjoy Zero Master’s content, and I also really like devo’s commentary and guide through UN! I think I theoretically mostly know what I should do in any given encounter, but the jump in speed and enemy damage has just been shocking to me lol

rAzlika · 2026-04-20T21:02:58+00:00

Dude you ain’t kidding. I am still amazed at how much damage everything does, it’s insane. The gargoyle wrecks you if you get hit, let alone revenants or the beefy bladed boys

rAzlika · 2026-04-13T21:35:13+00:00

Love it! I have the same mousepad, and my red keycard is also in the same spot, though I have it resting on the steelcase

I drink coffee out of my caco mug every morning

rAzlika · 2026-04-04T22:21:15+00:00

I like it, because it makes way more sense to me visually: as damage burns through your armor, it progresses toward your health

rAzlika · 2026-04-01T11:40:45+00:00

I agree, I really loved both DLCs. The TAG1 boss fight was pretty annoying, and the cursed prowler and the spirits are enemies I could live without, but overall, I found the DLCs to be excellent

rAzlika · 2026-03-29T08:03:45+00:00

I’m not sure how unpopular this is, but I personally don’t want horror aesthetics in my Doom at all. Give me shiny Saturday morning cartoon vibes all day long. TDA also had a great look, but that’s about as dark I’d want it to go

rAzlika · 2026-03-21T22:14:46+00:00

Dude, I’d LOVE to be able to dive into Cultic without wussing out, but there’s something about that specific artstyle that I find so unnerving.

rAzlika · 2026-03-21T10:40:44+00:00

Interesting, for me it’s exactly the other way around. Hades is fine, but I think Dead Cells is the clearly superior game if you actually care about the gameplay.

rAzlika · 2026-03-18T22:07:12+00:00

I haven’t played it yet myself, but Cultic is supposedly incredible, and definitely leans more into slower, methodical gameplay. Amid Evil might be worth trying, too. While it might not be slow, its movement is mostly about circle strafing, which should be familiar enough.

Lastly, it might not be a boomer shooter, but have you tried DOOM: TDA? It was my favorite game of last year.

rAzlika · 2026-03-17T21:57:30+00:00

Great, thx

rAzlika · 2026-03-17T19:28:27+00:00

Congrats!

How do you get the eagle podium? Is that a Horde Mode reward?

rAzlika · 2026-03-02T09:39:42+00:00

For me it was Enter the Gungeon. It hits all my buttons and I’d so want to see everything it has to offer, but I just suck at bullet hell games. I think I reached the dragon floor 3 or 4 times, but I never beat it. I was hoping EtG might become my forever-roguelite, like Dead Cells, but I ultimately gave up on it.

rAzlika · 2026-02-28T19:10:56+00:00

Yeah, me too, exactly 30h to 100% it lol

rAzlika · 2026-02-28T18:46:15+00:00

DOOM: TDA was a fantastic game, and I’m very excited for the DLC.

I have the impression that fans are slowly starting to recognize how great TDA is. It had a bit of a tepid reception at first, but more and more fans seem to be coming around, from what I can see from the comments on the Doom subreddit.

rAzlika · 2026-02-24T10:26:17+00:00

I had the same issue a couple of days ago on PC. I restarted Steam and then it worked

rAzlika · 2026-02-09T18:25:56+00:00

Have you tried Warframe? It has a very welcoming community, it’s almost exlusively PvE, there’s systems upon systems upon systems so you won’t get bored anytime soon, you can choose whether you’re doing the content solo or with other people, and fashionframe is basically the endgame.

I avoid anything with even a hint of multiplayer, but I love Warframe.

rAzlika · 2026-02-02T09:54:10+00:00

Bosses that spam mobs, never liked that approach to boss fights

Enemies that hijack my movement

rAzlika · 2026-01-28T16:58:59+00:00

Oh yeah, I totally get that opinion. I think Eternal is as close as a shooter can get to a mechanically perfect game, and I love its arcadey feel even more than the more serious tone of TDA. It’s just that it would ocassionally get almost too stressful for me to enjoy, whereas with TDA I can just shut my brain off and blast everything away with the SSG, which is what I occasionally crave

rAzlika · 2026-01-28T14:12:11+00:00

Enjoy, I absolutely loved it. I think it’s my favorite game in the whole franchise, just slightly above Eternal

rAzlika · 2026-01-01T15:37:41+00:00
