The game is more of a Doom 3 than the real Doom 3.

They call this a reboot but story elements lead me to believe it's a sequel. And someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Doom 64 has a different Doomguy. I think at the end of Doom 64 he decides to stay in Hell to make sure they never invade again. Kind of a tragic ending really.

Yeah it's like that in the beginning but as you progress and the enemies get harder and more of them, coupled with you arsenal and mods expanding then Glory Kills becomes more of a strategic ability rather than a cool visual showcase.
I think it was the same Doomguy. IIRC it's because of the experience and surviving the first 2 Doom games and the story that Doomguy goes back to stop Hell once and for all in Doom 64. I think the preamble talks about him speaking to shrinks and whatnot because nobody believed him on what happened on Mars or something. lol
This game actually kinda rewrites the end to Doom 64
When the Doomguy enters the Blood Temple, he gets trapped in a sarcaphogus and then locked away
It is, 100%, the same guy from Doom 1,2 and 64

Isnt it awesome how they maintain the mythology of the games?
So much fun.
Hey yeah. That was PC, with m + kb (obviously) and I was playing on Nightmare (hardest non perma-death diffficulty).
Regarding the glory kills. I hoenstly think on Nightmare, you can die easily using them as you are partially put in place for a moment. Giving time for ranged enemies to fire off a salvo which can hit and kill you once the animation finishes. That and the damage values are intense on that difficuluty.
Perhaps I can record some gameplay later of me in an area where using the glory kills makes more sense.
Also, it makes most sense to uise it when you know you will benefit from it. You do not always need the HP / Armour /Ammo

It does sound like this game rewrites Doom 64 indeed. I never knew if Doom 64 was Canon anyway considering it was developed by Midway.

I really dig the MP as well. LOTS of fun!
I said this quite a few pages ago but my favorite thing in the game is
the scene where you see Olivia Pierce talk to a disembodied voice who is supposed to be the "big bad" and she just told him that DoomGuy is lose. The big bad then immediately goes "ok,alright,pack it up,that's it,he got out and we are fucked." and Olivia actually has to interject and say she has a plan to continue.
Doom Guy is so epic, the big bad declares "war over" the moment it hears he is around

Most people don't seem to like the MP but I am having a lot of fun with it. I am actually pretty decent at it too.

But.. Doom 64 was more of a Doom 3 than Doom 3. =/

Can anyone help me out with how to do the Trick Shot challenge on Titan's Realm? That's literally the only thing left for me, but I just can't figure it out. (did it once by accident but, had to reset cause I didn't have the powerup kills)
EDIT: Never mind figured out

I still like the multiplayer, but I think people would have a more favorable opinion of it if it was closer to the alpha
No XP, no burn cards, no weird weapons (lightning gun, etc), Chris Sabat as the announcer. The map (Foundry? I think it's called) is still the best I've played
The fact that you can't even make your own loadout until you complete a match......what? What kind of stupid shit is that? The fact that you need to unlock non-cosmetics is so so stupid
Customization is neat though, and there's quite a bit you can do with it. I like seeing people recreate superheroes and whatever (though I haven't UPPED MY XP enough to create tan suit Wolverine yet, gotta unlock brown and orange lol)
I don't think MP is the travesty some people make it out to be but man, they just couldn't resist caking a bunch of shit on top of it could they

God damn. Rocking this at work. Makes sending emails feel bad ass.
I love the Slayer's Testaments. Not only is that voice perfect but it's really cool hearing of an ancient warrior who destroyed the land being YOU instead of a villain.
lol same here. Listening to this at work as well, Rip and Tear at the moment.
Makes you think 'here's your FUCKIN REPORT!' RAWR whilst throwing your monitor out the window.
They dont call them Challenges for nothing lol...some of those Runes are ridiculously hard...kill 3 Imps with a Glory Kill while falling down on them in 30 seconds...? yeah right,I have a hard time doing one in that time lol...just giving up on them,sucks for the rewards but oh well.

If you time your double jumps well you can do glory kills from above as well.

The hardest for me thus far was "you can only move for 3 seconds after each kill, kill 15"
Kept getting myself stuck in places with no visible enemies lol
It's much harder then TNO and faster.
If you brought up playing games like Doom, then this game really nails it, but the modern generation just are not bothered about these style of games.
Didnt think to do that but I find the double jump a little floaty, but I'll practice this.
I love how this game commits to its tone. The game knows its a ridiculous adrenaline fueled action romp but doesn't go into camp territory with it. Doomguy basically giving a non-verbal fuck off to Hayden as Hayden gives his "benefit of mankind" speech in the intro before dropping the title screen while metal fucking music plays, ultimately ending with the sound off the shotgun being cocked, was a perfect tone setter for "go forth and rip and tear"

Grenades or rockets behind them.
Get med-range and strafe shoot. They get stuck in an animation and you avoid damage. Or do as the above post suggests.
Plasma rifle stun shot is my goto for them. That alt fire is kind of overpower in some ways.
One of the early codex's you find is hilarious. Final line essentially says "...Hayden offers you help in your goal. You don't need it. You just require more ammo to put an end to the invasion." Paraphrasing, but the actual wording is pretty close, and I laughed.
Yep,decided to get that upgrade,helped me a lot against the big guys with Horns the first time you meet them...(Baron of Hell or Cyberdemon)
Plasma Rifle + Double Barrel shotty for life
Plasma Rifle is just so goddamn good. Heatblast for crowds of smaller enemies, stun + shotty for bigger guys.
And that's kind of coincidental too because the chainsaw is a bit of a reloader.
I just save them for last and strafe around them, they have a pretty slow turn rate.

On a different note, the MP is just as much fun as the SP, if different. The weapons need some tuning and they need to add a "classic" mode for the masses who want it, but otherwise I'm having a blast may enjoy it even more than the SP, especially as both myself and the competition get better.
Glory Killing a demon in MP is my gaming moment of the year so far.
Shit yeah it's overpowered. I like to switch between super shotgun and plasma. Use the plasma as a stun grenade and switch to clean up with the super shotgun that does SO much damage at close range.
For the shield guys though I just view them as walking ammo relenishments. It's just so much easier to chainsaw them for me.
Sadly it's not only games like doom but many others that are disappearing and a small niche of genres are pretty big right now. Before we had tons of genres but now that pool is shrinking each gen it seems like

Kind of reminds me of this to be honest, not in a completely bad way though. I feel that games like DOOM and Call of Duty can EASILY coexists next to each other without the fan bases ripping each other's heads off. Maybe you dislike Call of Duty and think that unless everyone appreciates DOOM we are doomed, but I believe that video games, just like any art form, can have many individual forms suited for individual people. DOOM is, so far, being enjoyed by almost anyone, everyone is up in arms because of a couple of reviews that gave it 6 or 7, which are NOT bad scores, all right? 1-4 are bad scores, 6 and up are games worth playing (most of the time).
