The older I get the less bullshit I tolerate in games, which sucks because games that want to be about "stories" and "atmosphere" mistake that for "slow constipated pooping."

Bitches look at Silent Hill-- you get one 2 minute cutscene then you're off to the races. Fatal Frame 2 as well. Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 3, and even Metal Gear Solid 2 all throw you right into the action relatively early before making you sit through their infamous lengthy bullshit.

So when I start up your game on a legit cool subject like, a woman unfairly confined to a sanitarium and I'm stuck reading flavor-text notes and wandering aimlessly for the first hour or so.... well gently caress that noise. Triply so if the game does that Half-Life thing where it locks you the gently caress in a room to listen to expository/plot movement dialogue. You pull that poo poo to me before I've been spooked or done something fun even once, I'm turning your game off.

Still better than that Amnesia/Outlast "ooh you're 100% powerless and a monster is stalking you" crap. Bitch I've got oil and fire on-hand if nothing else you're telling me I've got zero options?

I started playing Metal Gear Solid V THE BEST GAME YET IN THE SERIES yesterday

3 hours of cutscenes later I'm finally let loose upon the Afghan desert to kill guards, boy let me tell you that epic movie intro was worth it... NOT

I don't play games as much either but I still like them if they're good.

Recent games I liked;

Overwatch was fun to play with goons. I'm bored of it now though probably wont return for a good while

DOOM was a great singleplayer shooter. I played on the hardest difficulty that was available for a first timer and the game felt challenging without feeling like BS. Most other FPS get this so wrong, theyre usually way too easy. DOOM just had straight up better gameplay than most other shooters i've played in years. Double jumping over a skeleton man with rocketlaunchers on his shoulders so you can chainsaw the summoner behind it beats "hide behind wall or box and shoot at braindead soldierguy until he falls over, repeat for an entire game" that other shooters offer up these days

Doom 2016 is cool as gently caress
