MeIon Bread 03/20/20 3:17:32 PM #1:	What happened to people going crazy about Call of Duty, or Battlefield? DOOM Eternal seems to have gotten people VERY over-stimulated, and from what I hear, DOOM 2010 was excellent as well. Is DOOM the main first-person-shooter series on console and PC now? Sadly, although I was looking forward to play DOOM Eternal, the Switch version has been delayed. Nintendo still getting screwed. --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

MeIon Bread 03/20/20 3:24:47 PM #7:	What happened to Battlefield, anyway? It was super-popular in the early to mid-2010s, but people don't seem to mention it so much these days. FEAR was an excellent franchise. Really shame it's basically dead. FEAR 3 was very good, FEAR 1 was great, and FEAR Files was very good. I used to play through those games multiple times, due to the dark, brooding graphics, the really high difficulty, and the Slow-Mo which changed things a lot. Only game I wasn't keen on was FEAR 2. Left 4 Dead was a lot of fun, but seems to be done. Then, back in the day, we had the amazing Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Between those games, I'd guess I have about 1,000 hours. Crazy. --- Sunhawk's main alternate account. I'm just a little bit caught in the middle, life is a maze and love is a riddle. <cite>MeIon Bread posted [p:935954571] in So, is DOO...
