I loved the 2016 reboot, but Eternal sucks imo. Basic gameplay loop is 70% Painkiller, 30% platforming. I prefer Doom gameplay.
This.
Yup. This.
If these sales figures are true, it's another reason to grow bitter. Doom Eternal was the dumbest shit I've played in years. The rock-paper-scissors combat, incredibly ridiculous circus of a level design and non-existent story unless you read the fucking codex...
But apparently most people just want pew pew again. The Painkiller devs should capitalize on this asap.
Totally disagree. I loved DOOM 2016 and I worship ETERNAL. There are so few jump 'n run sequences that I can barely remember them and yet people complain about them.

Mass Effect 3 was really fun. DA:I was.. interesting (MP) at times. Kinda niche. But they totally fucked over ME: Andromeda which had some fantastic potential with its fun gameplay. Just totally dropped the ball and went home on that one.
Probably for the best, unfortunately, that they avoid it. They lootbox the shit out of those games. I can't forgive them for ME:A though. I was so hyped, bought the deluxe edition, etc... They fucked me and many other people over.

As for your Last of Us wish.... Don't you think that will be one of those games that just won't translate well to the platform of the Master Race? I do. I think it will be a whole lot of "meh", while I also completely understand it's a hit on consoles and rightfully so.
Well, I literally have not played either LoU game, so I don't know, but were there some console-specific things that you think wouldn't translate well for some reason? I thought it was a combination of the great storyline/characters in addition to good gameplay, world design, etc. that made those games popular, not some controller or console specific element.
For me and people in my same circumstances (posess tons of PC games and great gaming PCs, no strong desire to buy consoles), I'd like to see The Last of Us series on PC so the interested few (or many) can finally play it.

The Last of Us, 1 and 2, immediately. IMMEDIATELY.![]()
Even if I wanted to buy a PS5, they are nowhere to be found. I can buy a PS4, I guess, but that seems like a dead end. Plus, the damned controllers...![]()
People who have Horizon Zero Dawn on PC, how are the mouse/keyboard controls?

Way to miss the point on your way to flying off the handle again... It's like not wanting to buy the DVD when you know the Blu-ray is coming soon; it says nothing about the movie itself, just your choice of format. They still want the game.
No, its really like you not wanting to buy the Blu-ray because its at Target instead of Walmart.
The content is 100% identical. You just refuse to buy it because you don't want to go across the street to Target.
Its not even like a console exclusive which requires a several hundred dollar hardware wall to access content
All you literally have to do is
1) install Epic
2) install game
3) play game
Like that's it. Its literally zero difference to steam. You can even create a desktop shortcut if you're that invested in not seeing the epic client at all.
It's not zero difference if you value the added services one store offers along with the products they sell which the other store does not. Nevermind that I specifically avoided this comparison because my point had nothing to do with Steam vs. Epic, but hey, let's keep beating this pile of dust that used to be a dead horse! That is exactly how millions of people choose where to buy billions of identical products from every single day, and what was stated to be the reason why a particular person said they were waiting to buy Hitman 3. Whether or not YOU value those differences is irrelevant to their decision, and any other decision aside from your own. The fact that so many people seem to think that one opinion or the other on this matter is objectively "correct" is the reason why these same comments are posted and re-posted every time the subject comes up. It's boring.

Too little too late. At this point I've already decided to wait until the Steam release. It's where I own the previous two games already, and it's where all my friends are. As long as Epic refuses to add basic features to their storefront every game released there is a sub-standard product as far as I am concerned. I won't pay money to play an inferior product, so I'll just wait.
As an alternative to clicking on a character in the world, players will also be able to easily select and attack whoever they want from the UI.

The gfx/combat/flying wasn't generic, far from it. What is more generic in feel to me is a game that sold a million last week. Not that it can't be good, but most of these indy survival games have that generic feeling. Like if the tool they bought to plugin doesn't do it, you won't get it.
Here's the weird thing.. I hate survival games but I like Valheim... I don't like Rust/Ark/DayZ/Insert every other one.
BUT... I'm loving valheim.. Not entirely sure why but it's weirdly fun.
as for the topic on hand...
I watched from afar of Anthem and thought "This game looks like it'll be shit" and it was... It'll be gone.

Never heard of this game until just now. Looks really cool and original.
