I just got it and had to make a yt vid of the first few minutes of my experience.

Can already tell this shit is hype, one thing I will do is up the difficulty though, feels too easy right now.

Music as I knew it would be is insane!

The way that at the end of the elevator ride the music stops, the shotgun reloads in melody and then it is just quiet is AMAZING

I loved that entire prologue


The absolute greatest thing about this game is how slowly but surely you discover that the demons, this crazy, sometimes huge, utterly powerful monster.....are AFRAID of the Doom Marine. Utterly, utterly afraid.
So afraid actually that at one point (not too crazy spoiler)

Spoiler

You see the Echo of a conversation between the main bad human and an invisible "evil overlord" about how the Doom Marine was found in his sarcophagus (not yet awoken) and then evil overlord basically says "great,you allowed him to be found. We are fucked now. Our plan is ruined. Great job." and it's only the human who says "nah nah man I can still do this I got a plan". The Ancient Evil is literally saying "nope we give up,stop all evil plans, we are done" instead of wanting to face the Doom Marine.

As someone said in another thread: "You are not trapped with the demons. The demons are trapped with you"

Yeah, I had a huge grin on my face.

 

[bounchfx]

Man.. I cant believe that this game is actually good.
Never was so happy to be wrong.

same here. I really didn't expect it. And your name is perfect for this thread haha.

 

[The Flash]

This game easily has the best prologue/first level in any shooter for the last few years. I probably haven't enjoyed a shooter campaign this much since Reach.

 

[~Kinggi~]

God fucking damn. This is the Fury Road of shooters. Rip and tear!

i feel like this is actually a good description of it.

 

[Blitzhex]

I loved the ending, that's exactly how this game was supposed to end.
It grabbed you by the balls from the start, then it takes your balls and goes home, fuck you, buy the next one. Hell yea, I am going to.

 

[BackFromThePast]

Do you? Well I am playing on ultra and the blood effects are extremely sub-par compared to games like Killing Floor 2 and the interiors are really really bad, everything is really jaggy and you can see hard edges on things like pipes everywhere. I was desperately looking at the settings yesterday thinking I must have set textures to low but nope, I couldn't find a single thing wrong with the settings.

Hmmm, I'm actually pretty meticulous about that kind of stuff myself. I am running at 1440p with everything ultra and to my eyes the edges are nice and smooth without any issues.

 

[Outtrigger888]

Single player seems awesome, hows snap map though?

What did you think of that final fight?

 

[labx]

guys a question. Is the game worth it for single player experience. Or I will miss a whole lot if I don't buy de SUPER EXPENSIVE SEASON PASS for the multiplayer?

 

[Neiteio]

Holy shit, I'm sold. Going to Target to get a wedding card and trying to find a PS4 copy of this. (Also a Ryu amiibo, lol)

 

[tesqui]

One of the best feelings is finding a later game weapon early. It's nice that they don't mark those on the map.

 

[Woorloog]

Single player seems awesome, hows snap map though?

SnapMap is, based on short testing, really great concept. A lot of potential.
Console limits hurt PC a bit, as do lack of alternative tilesets, pieces with windows, open pieces and lack of skybox.
4 player max is also rather limiting, if apt for Doom since Doom began with 4 player MP...

But, even with those limits, it is really, really good, i think. If they upgrade it a bit, say up to 8 players, it will be even better.

EDIT One problem is that the SnapMap UI is made for controllers and is utter shit for KB/M. Plug in a controller if you're on PC and have one.

 

[Tomat]

I need this game's soundtrack. Normally don't like this kind of music but it's so good.

 

[Jangowuzhere]

I was ready to start a new game on Nightmare, but then I learned that secrets, upgrades, trials, etc don't carry over.

Hey, I like Doom, but I'm not sure I want to find all that stuff again. This just seems dumb to me. It really does hurt the replayability of the game.

 

[Hawk269]

Anyone have any links to where I can get the PC version at a discount? I was going to get the Xbox One version, but I want to play this at 4k/60fps. Thanks for anyone that can help.

Selecting played mission doesn't allow automatic progress to next one either... That is annoying.

Cdkeys with the code doom666

 

[Blitzhex]

What did you think of that final fight?

Once I figured out the combo it was a bit too easy. It could have had more phases and mechanics, but I enjoyed it. I was playing on normal difficulty though. It's possibly more fun on nightmare etc.

Im not interested in multiplayer snap maps, more of the single player variety

As long as you can deal with "two weapons at once only" limit, it can do quite a lot.
The maps do have limits since they must work also on consoles.

Cdkeys with the code doom666

It says that code is invalid...but still a good price. I never used CD Keys are the codes redeemable via Steam?

 

[dmr87]

Desktop wallpaper or whatever you want to do with them.

And with that, on to Uncharted 4.

[Raptor]

Just finished it 5 minutes ago, appropriate pic.

Way better than that wolfenstein crap?

 

[~Kinggi~]

This game is also super polished and smooth running on PC from my experience so far.

 

[Zemm]

This is by far the best controlling/feeling FPS game I've ever played on a console. It is incredibly smooth and feels great just to turn and move.

 

[tioslash]

Ok, pulled the trigger and bought it on Steam. Hope it´s good!

Now just wait for the download on my slow internet. :/

 

[FrsDvl]

Man, Hell is something else, the atmosphere is fantastic. But damn, did the difficulty go up lol. I'm considering taking it down a notch.

good thing the difficulty levels are all included in the "complete the campaign" trophy

Really? That was the only reason I haven't turned it down yet. Good to know!

 

[DoomGyver]

I canceled my preorder when I heard review copies weren't being sent out until the last minute. Based on these initial impressions I think I'm going to pick it up once I'm done with UC4.

 

[dyergram]

Really impressed by this so far and im happy with the pc performance as well

do it

 

[blame space]

this game actually reminds me a lot of metroid prime

 

[RoboPlato]

Hell is a huge difficulty spike but the gameplay really comes alive and gets a lot more dynamic. I'm having a really hard time finding secrets there compared to the UAC base though.

DO IT

They complement each other well.

I thought the same thing playing today.

 

[The Flash]

Yeah the trophies in this game a super fair. The only difficulty related one is to beat the first level on Ultra Nightmare.

 

[wonderful103]

I thought the same thing playing today.

I described it to my friends as "metroid prime, mortal kombat and doom had a baby"

 

[Kolgar]

What a treat this is. Not just the game, but seeing all this happiness in an OT.

Best game and thread in recent memory.

 

[DryvBy]

Anyone want to join us in some multiplayer in the next few minutes? Even if you suck, it's ok. We're just looking to shoot things.

My PSN is DryvBy.

 

[seph1roth]

Level 4, again, amazing level design.

Never thought current ID could make a REAL 90's FPS after Rage or Doom 3.

Ok, it's NOT like Doom 1/2, it's more like Quake 1/2 in map design with some arena fights like Serious Sam, which is awesome.

If someone had told me 2 years ago that there would be a real successor to 90's FPS, i would laughed in his face.

Nightmare mode is very difficult, i'm dying again and again and again...shit.

btw, is there an option to deactivate Glory Kills?

 

[robotrock]

I looooove the way the demons animate

 

[epmode]

btw, is there an option to deactivate Glory Kills?

There's an option to disable the graphic effect but demons still get staggered so you'd wind up wasting ammo.

I never thought I'd say this before playing the game but I like the glory kill mechanic.Encourages risky play. Maybe the animations could stand to be a few frames shorter though.

There are powerups that speed up the animations and other stuff
so the gameplay is in slow motion at the beginning

 

[Woorloog]

Equip Savagery Rune. Increases Glory Kill speed.

 

[Neiteio]

Welp!

Despite only being halfway through UC4 and still playing Star Fox Zero (great game!), I just stopped by the store and got these:

The other Doom thread and this OT sold me. I'm SO READY for a fps where the focus is on fast speed, nonstop running/jumping, dancing around bullets, a ton of guns, punchy shooting, cool monsters and great map design. I hear they even brought back the bright red color scheme for the cacodemon!

...but I'll have to wait until later tomorrow, since I have my best bud's wedding first!

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Argent Energy Tower is this game's Sonic underwater level or Half-Life 2 waterboat level.

Jesus, what a linear and tedious/annoying level.

 

[IcyRhythms]

Anyone know how to get this little guy

Spoiler

It's right after you reach hell.

Yeah, I died like 8 times because of the platforming. Pacing was off.
