It reminded me of the Red Helix from Dead Space.
You are an eldritch god awakened from your sarcophagus to press cancel on an unsafe demonic invasion warning.
I would pay $20 USD for more single player expansion. I think it's pretty dumb that the "season pass" is only MP content.
I'd be really surprised if there's an FPS this year with a better single player experience. Probably Shadow Warrior II.
The intro to this game was the hypest thing I've seen since the music kicking in when taking down the first boss of Metal Gear Rising.
BRB. I'm going to play the intro of the game again.

Oh no, you'll miss that important piece of demon-related lore.

That ign review on youtube is over 7,200 dislikes now. Holy shit, lol.
this type of comment is kind of insulting to the writers who obviously didnt have the easiest of times taking Doom and trying to make it play in modern times. I think they did a fantastic job with this. I mean its not self serious, its minimalist, the whole concept of being the DOOM GUY cultists worship is like, such a great funny concept. Its definitely an underappreciated aspect of this game. Story never gets in the way of the game being badass but also frames everything with the right tone.
this whole thing has been an interesting look at what happens without day 1 reviews. Everyone felt like they were coming into it blind and were surprised by how good it was, and now feel invested in shunning the critics that dont like it after the fact.

If 90% of people are saying this game is amazing and ign gives it a lower score than just about everyone else would, then of course they're gonna disagree with the video.
Just goes to show how little these review sites actually mean. Plus those dislikes are gonna help stop people turning away from the game which means it will hopefully sell well and we get a sequel.

Just finished the single player
My thoughts:
-Amazing gameplay. You can do amazing things once you get upgraded (fully upgraded super shotgun really needs a nerf though. You can just combine it with grenades a rip through everything). Also using Berzerk and going rip and tear on a mob of powerful enemies is the most insane thing you will every do in a game.
-Really nice old-school level design. I turned off objective markers and the compass and it really felt like playing old Doom. Getting lost and finding your way again, finding secrets its all there. I wish they had gone even more complex though(more than two security clearances)
-The story is really forgettable. The only interesting thing is your main characters passive-agressive indifference about it. The lore behind the story sounds intriguing though. I want to read more about it.
-Very good music and graphics. It just looks and sounds how you expect a 2016 reimagining of Doom to look like.
Overall the single-player is really worth its price of admission alone.
I will propably try the other modes tommorrow.

I'm finding it pretty hard to be sympathetic.
Yeah i saw that post earlier. I mean i like it when reviewers interact with the community and all but he made clear his viewpoint and it wasnt a good one for a critic to have.

You might wanna check out the like/dislike ratio there, bud.
The game is still the number 1 top seller on Steam right now and it apparently sold well in the UK. We'll have a better grasp of how well the game has sold in a few days I think.
Maybe

Yeah, steam helps for sure, for PC at least.
Shadow Warrior II and Doom are about it for the year I think.
IGN's main demographic is also mainstream gamers, which a gameplay-focussed game like Doom would not generally appeal to.
doesn't seem to
Help me out?

It's got over 1 billion views and 4 million like. It was going to sell well regardless of dislikes. Can't really compare that to the IGN video. However I can see the point you were trying to make.
I did put "possibly" in my original post for a reason
meh?

Just finished. What a truly worthy successor to the original Doom series. Even though I had to play it at mostly 30-40fps, it was amazing fun.

The
Hell areas were the best part of the game to me. They felt SO MUCH like what Doom is supposed to be. I want so much more of that kind of level design... more skull keys!
I only have minor complaints...
I feel like the Gore Nest mechanic was over used and should have just been a one off section. After a while, every time they came up I felt like it was another canned event and it kinda took me out of the flow a bit. It didn't help that a lot of the early UAC nest rooms looked very similar - 'oh, another canned arena room'. I much preferred areas that just had demons appear, or they were already there.
I also think it'd be cool if the enemies had more obvious unique sound cues on appearance/death ala Doom 1/2.

Are the last several missions longer than the rest? Shorter?

Basically the same if you want to explore. There's a lot of backtracking
Burst Rifle/Super Shotgun combo work best for me
I'm a big fan of the vortex rifle + super shotty with frag grenades.
This or Super Shotty + Burst Rifle. That thing is really nice. MP is Fun. Opinions.

MP is halo but not fun. Not muh DOOM.

I did this because it's obviously what the game wants you to do here, and then immediately afterward I realized there were like 3 weapon masteries I could have farmed in this room and was like DAMN I JUST PLAYED MYSELF
It is like BFG-lite...
I know I'm in the minority on this but I don't like the Hell environments nearly as much as the UAC facility. Something about that 80s/90s sci-fi aesthetic has always really gelled with me and I also seem to lost my bearings a lot more in Hell. The combat scenarios there are damn good though.

How does the PS4 version stack up to the PC version?
Is burst rifle really that good? I usually go static rifle + super shotty or rockets + super shotty. How much damage does burst rifle do?
Lol, I had to do that too, it was worth it in my opinion.
Not sure about in comparison to the PC version but it's pretty great on PS4. Performance is pretty damn good and it has great AA, motion blur, and DoF. Most impressive 60fps game I've seen.
