Video Games

I haven't played Death Stranding for a while now, as I was getting walking fatigue (I was up to Episode 5ish, but with a silly high courier grade from doing all of the deliveries).

Watched a 5 hour speedrun during a bout of insomnia.

I don't see much point in playing any more.

I've also been watching Doom speedruns

Doom speedruns are so satisfying.

Speaking of which I'm surprised that I haven't posted this run (or its predecessor). The whole thing is incredible, but Super-Fastball (50 mins into the video) is possibly the most incredible mechanical skip I've seen. Titanfall 2 is such a good movement game

Yeah that was nice

Modern Warfare BR went live today. Free to play so you don't need the main game to get involved

Yeah, tempted to download but 100+GB and I don't actually like BR style games....

Nah neither do I tbh. Nice that it's free to play for people that don't have the game though. I'm very much sticking to regular multiplayer myself

Anyone got a PS4 copy of Jedi Fallen Order they're done with yet?

Will be trying...

Watched a few streamers - looks kinda fun and social but mechanics seem very arcadey.
There seems very little skill but more a case of map knowledge/ping/timing. If you hit first, you win. No recoil, just bloom at range to make longer battles tricky. Vehicle movement is mad - like Indiana Jones & The Emporers Tomb (2003) levels of mad. But it's free-ish.

Something about the sounds of COD mp though that remains very satisfying (hit register / kill / item collect etc)

Oh fuck that noise then. If you dont have ot lead your shots i'm not interested.
Tempted to get back into DayZ, its on the rise again I hear.

I'm hungover Sunday, that means PUBG all day.

Recoil is something that definitely needs to be managed with some weapons. Having predictable recoil patterns just means you can learn to control it a lot better. And admittedly some weapon setups are total laser beams.

I watch cdl and quite a few streamers, it's very possible to turn or someone and snap onto them (especially with aim assist)

I think the timing thing and controlling spawns isn't perfect for sure. But the most annoying thing is people sitting in corners picking off very load approaching footsteps
(Which is very much a mp issue)

You do have to lead your shots

I mean, I think of COD, I think of corner camping, so don't think that will change. That's partly where perks etc come in (predator strike crew).

Also, PSG1 - Project IGI and Delta Force 2 flashbacks.

E3 cancelled. Organisers looking at an "online experience" instead.

As someone who runs a video business and has invested about 50 grand into live streaming gear, I feel I should be rubbing my hands together at the moment. But have yet to see any uptick in interest. Instead, I'm just rubbing my hands together with Purell.

Mgs2, I think there was a tranq version as well, PSG1 T

Oh thats good then.

Quite a few videos on YouTube of gameplay already. Might be worth it before the chonky download

Cheers, any crackers you've seen? Will have a browse...

I mean, I just watch my usual streamers. Swagg, KoreanSavage, Bradderz. They're all a bit loud and shouty though.
Marksman and Wildcat also have some good clips.
I'm currently watching Benson play through some games on YouTube, a lot less shouty but he's not as good at playing as some of the others I mentioned.

I have no idea who any of those players are, the only Pro's I know are Chocco and @CYOA
I'll check out the latter, no time for shouting.

@CYOA what do you stream?

Marksman and Wildcat have some of the best clips really, when it comes to mp anyway. They're not too shouty either
