I like to belive the doom slayer is the emperor of man kind.
Tito partija, omladina akcija!
You forgot "kill every enemy and then spend a half an hour running around a maze looking for the key you missed."
*for the unmarked secret you missed
I honestly hate this ultra-realism trend in all games.
RDR2 is a great example of it. I spend most of my time feeding, cleaning, and taking care of my horse, oiling and cleaning my guns, taking baths and feeding my character (but can't feed him too much!), as well as maintaining the food, medicine, and whatever else for my gang.
But when it's time to be a bandit can I go rob a bank by myself? No, the game doesn't allow that outside one mission. What the fuck. Lame ass game.
i love my riding horses and taking landscape photos and petting dogs and making campfire stews simulator
I didn't played RDR2 but something like this is the reason i absolutely avoid any game with "survival" tag. Empty pseudo content, not much better than gacha grind.
Friendly reminder that Unreal Tournament 99 and 2004 are abandonware, and can be found on Archive.
Until we meet again!
there was an internal leak a while back that epic games was gonna update and rerelease UT3 as a free to play title with zero microtransactions and crossplay with steam/gog/epic and then it got cancelled
it was my last hope for the franchise after UT4 got cancelled

Ahhh 99 was my first online multi-player game i played...KILLING SPREE!
Assault maps at LAN parties were peak.
UT4 is abandonware as well, there's this community project to keep it up and running.
What ~~Venture Capital~~ Fortnite does to a studio!
Retvrn to boomer shooters
carries the entire arsenal but only uses two weapons
One thing I really have to hand to the Doom 2016 gameplay loop: you can tell they really worked hard to make sure you couldn't do this. At multiple points you're basically required to use every single weapon just because it's the only way you actually have enough bullets to do it.
Doom Eternal also forces you to use more than one gun, but without pushing you to max conserve ammo. There are different weapons and combos that work better for different monsters, and unless you play on the easiest difficulties, you're forced to learn it.
I think it's by far the best of the Doom series to the point that I don't know how they can do a followup without it feeling like a downgrade or a DLC.
One thing I actually enjoy in many modern shooters is the iron sights mechanic. Even if it doesn't change much, it just feels so cool to have an extra step when aiming, and I miss that in older games. I grew up on Doom, Blood and DN3D but aiming down your gun is just rad as hell
And also, no shooter has ever surpassed Stalker Call of Pripyat for me. That was literally the best FPS I've ever played
we used to be a country
broke: first person shooter
woke: doom clone
Quake 2 CTF
Still the most satisfactory railgun in the series imho (even outside instagib modes).
Is that a holy hand grenade?
yeah but absolutely not from an FPS lol
HALLELUJAH
No spinfusor 
Tribes 1 CTF was the best, every subsequent version has been slower and worse. Tribes 2 gets a pass because it at least kept modding as a core part of the game.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The Assault Rifle from Marathon, my beloved...
The Doom shotgun!
The BFG
If only BFG ammo dropped like shotgun ammo...
Couldn't hit a Pfhor trooper from 15 yards, but having a semi auto underbarrel grenade launcher made up for it lol
Broke: Concentrate on high-fidelity graphics and set pieces, constant emphasis on "realism", health regenerates when hiding behind cover like a coward, player commits fictionalized versions of real war crimes while the game tells you you're a hero

This is operation flashpoint / ghost recon / swat 3 / rainbow six erasure
Flashpoint had such a fun level editor
if you haven't check out arma 3 one's where you can real time edit shit in 3d. blew my mind back when that became possible
You can literally play a RTS on Arma 3 with your friends or alone. Just enter the editor mode and spawn a Zeus Module. I remember having a lot of fun using this with mods.
They fed that fish so much dope
