Better yet, make a new game somehow bringing Halligan and Briggs from Limbo of the Lost together

I realize now just how few games from this year I've actually played. I've been happy enough to wait for Steam releases of some new release games so there's a few I want to play that I won't until next year.

So my short list would look like:

Ion Fury
Resident Evil 2
Rage 2
Astral Chain
Link's Awakening

In no particular order except for Ion Fury, which tops out as my favourite. Though, those are all the 2019 games I've played that I recall, and I enjoyed them all to varying extents. Two of them are remakes of games from the 90's and one of them is a deliberately retro, throwback shooter.
I'm glad to hear how well it's been received. I had a lot of expectations for the next big Obsidian IP, so it's good that they're still solid as a rock.


After some heavy missteps on the last two albums (sorry fans, Pale Communion was boring and Sorceress was too self-indulgent), Opeth have hit back with some straight fire on their new record.


This band had one of the best strings of albums between 1995 and 2006, and one of the most tragic falls from grace after that (musically speaking).
This album holds up as one of their absolute best.
David DeFeis' powerful, commanding, savage vocals and bombastic keyboard/piano work, Edward Pursino's creative and airtight guitar playing and Frank Gilchriest's powerhouse, machine gun drumming all combine to make it one of the best epic metal albums ever created. Virgin Steele truly were something special and glorious in their prime.
Everyone I knew loved it at the time, thanks to the Co-op. I don't know if its as fun for multiple side by side playthroughs as the other dooms though.


Having finished it a couple of days ago, I can tell it is absolutely not. Don't get me wrong, it is still a hell (hurrdurr) of a game and holds up remarkably well in several areas, but it's a totally different kind of experience.
I enjoyed it, and appreciated it for what it did and what it was, but it is undoubtedly my least favourite of the main series of Doom games. I'm not sure at all how any of them will hold up next to Doom Eternal though.
Shit looks dope.
Decided on a whim to start Doom 3 again after realizing I have never gotten through the whole thing. Loaded up the original with the ReDux mod and it looks gorgeous.

I can see where Doom fans and purists would have been turned away, but I think as an individual product this thing stands on its own very well.
Anybody here excited for the impending release of Amid Evil?

@Cleverbird His Dusk soundtrack rules pretty fuggin' hard.


God I miss these 90's soundtracks, they were the absolute best.


You'd probably dig Andrew Hulshult then, if you don't already. He's scored a lot of retro styled FPS and has an excellent grasp on ambient spookiness and crushing brutality.
Witchfire and Prey for the Gods <3

Glad to see someone with some culture on this site.

Also am very, very excited to see more on The Outer Worlds. It could be a farming sim where you cultivate farts and I'd play it because it's Obsidian.
