What games do you play other than Doom?

How did that pass thru QA?

QA probably found it. The question is, whether anybody had the time to fix it before the game was pushed out.

I would've made Day 1 patches then, if they existed back then.

I don't think you have a very strong grasp of how corporate game development works. When a game releases in a buggy state, it is often because the publisher is not willing to keep putting up more funds for the dev team to keep working on it, and wants to skip to the part where they can sell it. And with a game like STALKER, that game had been in production for YEARS already, and the publisher probably had enough of them dragging their heels on it (regardless of whether the devs actually were doing that or not). It's a business, at the end of the day, and it doesn't make money if people can't buy it.

Then we need to stop buying shit not worth buying. And stop implying that I'm stupid, please and thank you.

And stop implying that I'm stupid, please and thank you.

No such implication was made, and I highly resent being accused of that.

[yum13241]

Sorry, I was just in a bad mood. I hope you understand. I apologize.

No idea, gaming industry has always been weird like that with botched games at launch after all - Blood 2, Batman Arkham Knight, CP2077, you name it. Stalker SoC had a fairly lengthy development as well, but it's considered one of the least buggy entries, and having played the vanilla game without any mods myself, can surely attest to that, minus the occassional CTD while loading. Call of Pripyat seems to be regarded as being fairly glitch-free too.

Clear Sky? Nah fuck no, this game is a mess on the technical side of things (look up Nikolai on YT, to see the kind of meme-tier stuff you can do with the brokenness of this game) - crashes, broken quests, and even buggy UI elements in widescreen in a time where widescreen monitors were already commonplace (they already were by 2008 when SoC dropped). It also had some broken features such as the iron sights which were even removed for some weapons for no reason at all. Either way, since SRP has been a thing for years now, this game can finally be enjoyed properly, although I'm going to wait for 1.1.4 to drop first because that one is said to cover a few more fairly important issues (such as crashes), so that I can make the most out of the game on my first run. The other good thing about the SRP is that it also restores some cut features such as the aforementioned iron sights too. Sorta similar to the extra package of VTMB's unofficial patch, which also restores cut quests and content.

Recently got finished with Resident Evil 6. Overhated game this one, but I had a blast with it.

Next up I'm gonna do Burnout 3 Takedown, and once that's out of the way, I'm torn between Stalker Clear Sky or RE Revelations. The former will absolutely need the unofficial patch to properly enjoy, as the vanilla game is a buggy disaster, hell in vanilla some side quests can't even be completed... By far the buggiest game in the franchise to date.

Believe me, you won't regret playing Burnout 3, I also highly recommend checking out Revenge and Paradise Remastered (although Paradise Remastered needs like 3 community fixes to work "normally", you can find them in the Burnout Hints Discord).

I get on a kick for "space sim" games every couple years, and recently I've been loving Everspace 2 actually.

It's not even really a "sim", it's an arcade space RPG shooter, but... this one is scratching all the right itches that I didn't know I had. I bounced off Elite Dangerous after 40 hours with little but disappointment, but only 15 hours into Everspace 2 I feel like I got more than my money's worth (even though I bought it full-price at $50). It's like what I always imagined Privateer or Freespace was meant to be.

If anyone's got that hankering for some satisfying 6-DOF shooting and jumping around star systems, highly recommend trying the demo.

[Shatter-Thought[V-4]]

A mish mash of games here and there, games from Itch.io , some games I bought on steam, recently played an arcade game bought on steam from the SNK collection, also playing a ton of Avadon: The Black Fortress to enjoy the story.

I want to play much more then that but this laptop, while reliable and tough, is not a high end gaming computer.

I second it, that Everspace 2 is a challenging and rewarding experience, which has good graphics and gameplay

- Touhou Project
- ULTRAKILL

Diablo 4 - Processing
I started playing and already have a lvl 60 character in diablo 4, which was released relatively recently. i enjoy the gameplay, i really like the map for its atmosphere. i play as a mage mainly because of ice + electric. i don't seem to have any problems.
upd:I added more pyro, because some people had unpleasant resistances I got this advice here

[Neerajkirola]

I enjoy games like Hotline Miami and OmniBus, but I also appreciate various games across different genres, such as The Legend of Zelda series, Portal, and Celeste.
