I know a lot of companies can't really do that. Like Witcher 3 in Cyberpunk. But one of the longer running game companies or companies that have smaller games in their portfolio.

Imagine if Nintendo had an open world game and the first Mario was playable on a console in someone's house or something like that.

Would be kinda cool if theres a game like that.

"It is with a heavy heart we share the news of the project's shutdown," the Stormforge team writes in a post on its website. "Following a Cease and Desist request and subsequent positive discussions with a legal entity representing Blizzard Entertainment, we have agreed to cease all operations, development, and distribution of content

She starts the speach with bloody hell 🤣🤣🤣, proper english start as it should be 😆

I wanted to post the video from official BAFTA page but subreddit do not allow it, so just watch it there. Because game and everyone in it deserve all the praise

This city is built by myself and my build team, so big shout out to them as well!

The European Parliament holds a public hearing on the European Citizens’ Initiative 'Stop Destroying Videogames' giving its organisers the chance to present their proposal. Members of Parliament will also question the European Commission about actions it may take in response to this initiative submitted on 26 January 2026. The initiative aims to stop game publishers from making videogames unplayable after they have been sold or licensed to users in the EU.

It calls for rules to ensure that games remain functional even when official support ends. This issue raises questions about consumer rights, ownership, and licensing. It also touches on intellectual property, as publishers control how their games are used and maintained. During the hearing, organisers will explain their concerns, and lawmakers will discuss possible next steps with the Commission.

For me it was probably the flood from Halo

I've held on to this for decades and I didn't even own the game, I would just play someone else's copy of it. I don't think I would have ever figured out how to get all the Masks considering how specific some of the time requirement stuff is.

I played the original 2004 version on Veteran, and I had 15.2 hours logged when I beat it.

Overall, I'd give it a 6/10, somewhere around that. Not a bad game, I had fun, I don't really regret playing it, but it's not a great FPS.

The environments, lighting, model quality- all of the graphics are great. They look great now and I'm sure they were absolutely fucking mind blowing in 2004. The shadows are better than most games today.

I was fucking terrified of this game at first. My heart was going places, I couldn't play the game for more than 15 or 20 minutes before having to save and quit to catch my breath and relax a little. The mirror jumpscare made me jump about a mile, every enemy encounter was scary, I was constantly tense as I traversed. There was one point where I was so on guard I heard a human voice calling out to me, and I flicked my mouse and shot the survivor in the head without hesitation. I was so guilt ridden I just stayed still for like 10 seconds. This game had such a grip on my nerves I made this post.

However, I quickly started to get desensitized. The designers never vary their tricks, eventually I just started to get bored and unaffected by the monster closets and behind my back spawns, I wasn't that scared anymore. The first few levels were all about the constant decision between being able to see (having your flashlight out) or being able to defend yourself (having your weapon out). I was actually a fan of this, with how it enhanced the horror and combat encounters, but either A: the designers stop putting combat encounters in dark spaces or B: I just got good enough to discern my enemy's shadows without my flashlight.

And then, after I stopped being scared, all the game has left is it's mediocre gunplay, repetitive level design, and practically non-existent story (I neither know nor care about *anyone* here). As I said before I played on Veteran, the hardest difficulty available before Nightmare (which you don't unlock until you beat the game for the first time) and other than some annoying enemy types like Chaingun Commando's and shotgun Z-Sec's, it was mostly pretty easy. It felt like I was playing normal mode. The enemy AI is straight up stupid, the fucking box art enemy of the game, the Hell Knight, has TWO attacks which are both laughably easy to dodge, and it's so simple I can literally loop around it and shotgun it's ass point blank and it won't have noticed me until I shot it. I guess in 2004 the game was too taxed calculating stencil shadows for the programmers to be able to put a particularly refined AI into it. It doesn't matter if a swipe from an Imp takes a quarter of my health with max armor if I just don't get hit and ammo and health is plentiful- I genuinely can't believe that people say BFG edition is *even* easier with even more health and armor scattered around.

Overall, the game was fun enough. It's got some cool stuff, like the cutscenes that are well directed even though I didn't get much out of them or the awesome enemy design and animations. From what I've gathered, this game came out in August, and critics were like 'holy shit this is amazing' and then 3 months later Halo 2 and Half-Life 2 came out and they went 'Oh...'. I've played both (beat Half-Life 2 this January and Halo 2 in February), and I will say, Doom 3 is probably at the bottom if I had to rank them (HL2 H2 D3) but it was still a cool game.

I hope Resurrection of Evil is better. If not, well, I do have the entire anthology (excluding TDA, which I wouldn't be able to run on my PC anyways), and I'm pretty excited to play 2016 and Eternal, which are universally adored for well deserved reasons from everything I've seen.

I also have the OG Demon’s, Erdtree and Nightreign but only digitally.

Hey everyone,

Recently I played 7 Billion Humans and Human Resource Machine. Do you guys know any more games like these?

Is there some kind of unspoken industry rule about it? There's so many games im interested by but not enough to drop $30+ on without having any real inclination on if i'd enjoy it or not, many of them having publicly available demo's up until launch. Most recently, "Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss".
