Poor Doom Eternal, launching against Animal Crossing.
There is only one game that matters this March.
Yeah doomguy ripping up the hellspawn of animal crossing! I’m sure the BFG should be able to do it.
I’m constantly amazed (and more than a little unnerved) by how much overlap there is across those two particular fanbases.
Should make for some interesting mods
Yeah. I really enjoyed Doom 2016, and have been looking forward to Eternal, but nowhere near as much as Animal Crossing. This shit is gonna be revelatory. DAY ONE shit. Doom will have to wait.
I want to play Doom so badly but there’s only so much time and money in the world (and in my wallet). Hell will have to wait, Tom Nook demands bells first.
I’ve never been this excited for an Animal Crossing game but as soon as I saw the first trailer, being able to place things outside, being on a beautiful island etc, that was me done. I need it in my life as soon as possible.
Not sure if it’s worthy of a “release” list, but Mount & Blade 2 finally hits early access on the 31st
Holyshit! Never thought i’d see the day!
Getting AC and Doom Eternal at the same time, the real question is what I play first.
Doom on the TV, AC on switch portable mode baby! Best of both worlds!
I realised that since we live in [current year] the actual answer is “Play Animal Crossing while I download 40+gb of Doom”
