Played a bit, got to where you acquire the second grenade type for the shoulder attack. Playing on PC with a stable 144fps is pure fucking bliss. Game looks great on top of it and the set pieces are genuinely breathtaking at times.
With that said, I had 5 extra lives going into the first secret encounter that requires a key. I finished it with 1. I got my ass handed to me, was a good moment of humility.

They really start throwing some tricky dicky platforming at you as early as the second level. Goddamn.
I mean, it’s no Half Life Xen bullshit, but it’s pretty wild.

Yeah just finished the second mission earlier and I'm definitely not a fan of this platforming crap. I play Doom to shoot demons not jump around like fucking Mario.
Anyway the shooting demons part is as fun as ever so I'll just have to deal with the sucky parts.

It really is difficult to comprehend how they fucked this up.
This was the one game this year that I thought would be a sure thing.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
Managed to squeeze a bit in this evening.
It's fun, but I don't know how much I'm enjoying the overwhelming amount of shit they throw at you - not demons, just stuff. Upgrade this and switch that and power up this and collect that, chainsaw him then flame them... it's not that it's hard to manage, I just don't know that I'm enjoying it as much as Doom 2016 yet and I think this is why. I just want to blow some shit up and it feels like I'm glory killing more than I'm shooting because ammo runs out so quickly that it feels dumb not to glory kill.
We'll see, it's fun, but right now I feel like they've gone overboard. Might feel different tomorrow once I play more.
The OST still fucking rips though. Mick Gordon outdid himself.

And just like that, five 1ups I had saved vanished in a single fight. Christ.
This game will really fuck you in the ass if you aren’t on the ball 100% of the time.
I love it.

For me, the 2 or 3 interesting gunfights in the first 3 levels did not outweigh the overused platforming, shoehorned upgrading/leveling/XP nonsense, unnecessary cutscenes, directionless storytelling, terrible UI and general arcadeyness of it all. I am a huge fan of the original Doom games and the 2016 remake, but this is missing the point for me. I might revisit it when it's $20, but this isn't what I wanted out of this game at all.

Bethesda Launcher.
It is ok. After all, even if you buy it on Tseam you still need the launcher I think.
Plus I got it dirty cheap: 59 euro the Deluxe edition.

You don't.

We should talk about how you can't add friends to play Battlemode with in the Bethesda launcher. It's all over their forums. Not a problem at all in the Steam version. My buddy is super pissed. We can't add each other to play.

Nah, I am not pissed cause I have games in many different platforms.
Steam, GoG, Epic, Itch.io, this one, Battle.net, you name it.
I always organise the games I have in my personal files on my PC.

Haven't had the chance to dig into it yet but I did play a bit of Doom 64 and holy shit that game holds up from an atmosphere standpoint. It's got legit scares and wonderful foreboding music and sounds.

This game looks amazing. I wish I could be playing right now, but I'm short on free time right now, and I have to watch my money with all the covid bullshit going on here on the west coast. I'll probably bite at $30 like I did with DOOM[2016]. Shouldn't take long, and hopefully they'll add RT soon. Loving all the feedback on the game. Keep it up!
Not that far. 2nd level i guess. Saw the cutscene with the 2 priests, got the flame belch and just startred the next level. gotta turn in tho. You?

Oh boy. So crackers get the game day one and without denuvo. Think they'll remove denuvo for paying customers? Probably not...According to people on Reddit Bethesda included a DRM-free .exe in the Bethesda.net version and not the other PC versions. Someone's definitely in trouble over in the Bethesda studio

Just finished the first level and all I can think is this is gonna be awesome. I am having an issue though, it runs smooth at 70-80 FPS on ultra nightmare settings; however, I can't turn on HDR. When I toggle it on and hit Apply I get, "The selected monitor does not support HDR."
This is absolutly not true, I have a Samsung C49HG9 and have been playing Division 2 and RDR2 in HDR with zero issues. Anyone else come across this? I can't find anything online about this issue either.
EDIT: id released a small patch and now when I boot up the game there is a prompt letting me know that AMD is aware of the issue and working on a driver update.

Good question but I'd be surprised if they did remove it.

Start of Chapter 4. “Shit got real” in Chapter 3 and a few encounters required a dozen or so retries. Cool thing about this game is, you really feel yourself getting better when you overcome those challenges, it’s a very technical, skill-heavy experience.
I love it.

Just finished the first mission. Quick thoughts:
I liked 2016's intro sequence a lot more, this just doesn't have the same oomph to me. The huge city sized demons are cool, but I mean 2016's intro is one of my all time favourites - the resurrection, the fight to your suit as shit is hitting the fan around you, the dashes of humour, the elevator ride pumping the shotgun as the music emphasizes the moment and the doors open to your first level, it was just a really tight intro.
I dislike the overall look of the UI elements, like tutorial screens, end of mission screens, etc. I just don't like the designs and colours. It's like Cyberpunky or something. Other than those, the game looks awesome.
Don't want to be Debbie Downer because I love how this plays and I'm going to enjoy the shit out of this game, but these were my first impressions.

Yeah I’ve only just begun but it feels more overwhelming than 2016, and I’m running out of ammo constantly. The pacing of the combat feels about 20% faster. Unfortunately I’m old

What the fuck is up with the rainbow in the top right. Are they ammo lights?

Christ this is the most alpha game I’ve ever experienced. Just balls to the wall awesomeness.
The gameplay feels so refined too. I see some people complaining and I don’t get it. The flow is much smoother compared to 2016.
Oh and looks unfuckingbelievable. id the GODS.
btw lowkey thing but the colors they use for pickups and UI look sooo much better. Like, it all pops big time on my TV.

The gameplay is awesome once again, but its buggier than the last one. Lost connection to Steam in the middle of a fight (which abruptly paused the game - why do developers do this?) and when I fnished the level, none of the XP went towards the crap it was supposed to. And now my Weekly Challenges have a few Challenges that are uncompletable because they're OVER the requirement and the game doesn't realize it lol
It's like the 100% meter in Doom 4, just broken up into red (kill every enemy in a level) purple (basically a hard rune trial) and pink (mini-challenge rooms).

i only play on the hardest difficulty, it is impossible for me to enjoy a game with knowing someone might be better then me.

Ultra Violence and it’s starting to kick my ass (stage 3)

How the hell are they ever going to port this to Switch? They'll have to cut some serious corners and/or remove a level or two.

Doubt they’ll have to cut content but you can expect 30fps and Vaseline visuals.
Are the load times way better in this or is it just me? Playing on the X.
Darkmakaimura
Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
I can deal with 30 fps but visuals are gonna take a massive hit, yeah.
Can a Switch cart even hold 40gb?

Since you can change it at anytime with no penalty I would start with ultra violence and if it gets too much kick it down to Hurt me plenty . The easiest is way to easy in my opinion .
