You don't have too glory kill if you want. All it does is cause enemies to drop some extra health when they die, which happens randomly already when you kill enemies by shooting them too. If you need a little boost in health or in need of help, you can go for a glory kill. But as long as your doing good enough in the game, you can go whole sections without having to ever glory kill.
The game is very giving with health pickups laying around and enemies when shot will randomly pop health or ammo out of them.

A few thoughts after playing a decent amount of this over the past few days...
More games need to follow suit with less story and more shoot shit.
All FPS games need to use a Weapon Wheel. No questions asked that is the way to go.
I own the game on both PC and PS4 (long story) and I just do not know if I can ever play an FPS again on the consoles. The difference in precision is drastic. Now I am sure if one only played the console version they would not only not notice this and therefore not see the issue, but having both copies really, really just hammers home the fact there is a drastic difference. I know I am stating the obvious here but felt it was worth noting. It was night and day. I am upset at myself for abandoning the PC for several years, but I had to do so for medical reasons (DeQuervain's tendonitis in my right wrist), but even still, I am wondering why it took me so long to get a new PC. Thanks Oculus for inadvertently being the reason to get me back where I should be.
My two favorite FPS's in the past couple of years have been developed by id. Much respect.

Yeah, I have the same system and I have had over 15 CTDs in about 20 hours of play. Frustrating indeed.
Rage and Doom? Wolfenstein was from Machinegames.

My setup is i7 4790k, gtx 970 latest, and Win10 64 bit. I've had a single crash in 8 hours. I doubt Win10 is the issue since I think a lot of users are on it. 980 performance/drivers should be comparable to the 970. Nothing shady about that cpu, either. I wonder what's wrong.
How much ram do you guys have? Are you overclocking anything?
Holy shit dude, and I thought I was being a little gratuitous getting 16 haha (actually I assume you have other uses for that ram)

I have 64GB DDR4 and have had 1 CTD so far in 16 hours play.

To those with CTD: are you running any overclocks?
Have you looked in the event viewer to see if it shows any reference to driver crashes or processor issues?
I am running a 970 with an overclock on the core clock and memory clock but haven't had any issues. I am using latest drivers.

I've had three crashes in my playthrough, running 16gb ram, GeForce 970, and an i7 4770k. Nothing OC'd, latest nVidia drivers. Event Viewer showed no issues when I checked after my second CTD. I've tried a few bandaid fixes I've seen on forums, but I have no idea if they work. Specifically, people have said to switch from Fullscreen to Borderless (did this after my first CTD) and switch v-sync from Adaptive to On (after my third CTD). I haven't had another CTD yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. I hope iD finds out what's causing it and fixes the issue, but I have the feeling I'll be done with the campaign and playing Overwatch by the time that happens.

So for this Heavy Assault mini-rockets "Stick 4 Demons in 5 seconds" The Rockets themselves stick to enemies?
Yes.

who in their right mind leaves on the glowy stagger highlight?
You can turn it off? Nice. I might do that now.

I leave it on, I didn't like it when I saw gameplay videos, but playing the game it doesn't really bother me anymore
plus I play on nightmare so I need all the help I can get

Well shit... that sounds tough. >_>
My ps4 Bros
Can anybody reccomend any settings that I should be adjusting and changing from default?
I've always found gaf an excellent resource to this question and I find it usually improves my experience by a large margin
I'm playing on the hardest available difficulty because I've been playing since the first doom and figured it would only be fair to myself.

Finally beat this game yesterday, according to steam it took me 16 hours which is fairly long for a single player game now a days. Now playing on ultra nightmare and damn do I miss the later rune abilities/gun upgrades. I keep wanting to double jump onto platforms but can't 
This shit is definitely a challenge on ultra nightmare, got half way through the first level before I blew myself up on a barrel.

on higher difficulties glory kills are actually pretty risky.
there are plenty of times where I exit a glory kill to be 1 hit KO'd by a hell knight or Cacodemon.

Yyou can turn it off?
Will do it, they already animate great when is time to glory kill their ass.
After 10 minutes of play I turned it off. You can still see the enemies stagger so it's not really needed.

I'm only playing on Ultra Violence but I still have to be very mindful of what situation a glory kill will put me in. When I've got two Hell Knights running around it usually results in me being surrounded.

I'm a bit stuck. On the Into the Fire misson
I have to get back to Mars, currently in hell. I am at a dead end at a door with a big skull on it. It's yellow on the map and I don't really know where to go?

You know what I don't like? Being kicked back to the main menu after a rune trial found during a mission replay.
There is a yellow skull on the map that you have to collect, like a yellow keycard. It's down near the arena where the fight took place, not up by the door or anything.

Ouch. That sounds like an oversight. We already know replayed missions are per-instance and since rune trials interrupt that instance, I get why it's happening. But it shouldn't.
i had similar crashes (no warning or anything straight to desktop)
have the same cpu with 4.3ghz overclock and 970 also with a slight overclock.
and 16gb ram.
not sure if its related but,
i strated to close some ram hungry porgrams (chrome, android studio etc.) before running the game and i doesnt seem to crash anymore.

The game warns about the boot to menu if you continue the trial though.

Yeah I know, but this isn't really necessary.

Quick question : If I'll never touch the multi part of the game, how is the solo campaign ? (length, quality...)
Is the game worth is just for the solo ?
Is the game worth is just for the solo ?
I'd say so. It took me about 8 hours total to run through the campaign on the "normal" difficulty and I missed about 60-65% of the secrets. I can see the game length being closer to 12-14 hours if you try to get everything. If you value replay (which you should because this game is baller) it's a very long game.
First Wolfenstein: TNO, now this. We are not worthy. Much like Overwatch recently, this is a FPS that NEEDS to be played, no amount of footage will tell you just how good the controls feel. And that opening, damn, Doom Marine just doesn't give a shit, dude will tear open Hell's gate and stomp every single demon that stands in his way, powered by inspired notes of Mick Gordon (TNO, Killer Instinct). Magnificent game and already GOTY 2016, alongside Uncharted 4, for me.
You can play survival maps on snapmap, there is already lots of maps to be played.
Even without the competitive MP portion this is a great value for SP and Snapmap alone IMO.
That's my main issue with the glory kills as well. I think it would have been useful to make them work more like throws in a beat em up (which kind of work the same way in giving a canned animation with a few invincibility frames) and be able to throw a couple of surrounding enemies off balance using the one you just glory killed.
Finished it last night on Ultra-Violence. Played on PS4, took me probably close to 20 hours, being pretty thorough about exploration and getting all the secrets (had over 80% in one run). The game was at its absolute best towards the end, where you have all your combat abilities at your finger tips and the game throws the proper gauntlets at you to "Test Your Might" and see if you can keep up. Great final boss and one of the coolest ending credits sequences I've seen in a game.
Did... did someone recreate Harvest Moon gameplay in DOOM??
GOTY for now?
