I impulse bought it against my better judgement given how many other games I bought this month already, including uncharted 4 just two days earlier.
I like Doom better than them all.

You hypebeast clowns got the best of me. I might go cop this after work tomorrow. Though I do have the Old Blood waiting to be played that might give me the fix.
I just learned that the game has a cross-platform level editor... does the amazingness ever end?

Old Blood was a dissapointment imo and I loved TNO
Beat it. Fantastic experience all the way through. Not going back into it just yet, but I love that I can go back with all of my upgraded stuff and look for more secrets.
MP does nothing for me, but I'll probably see what snap map is about. I played a parkour map the other night and didn't care for it, but I want to see the retro stuff.
This was just what I needed after UC4 (I like UC4, it's just kind of funny to say because I thought UC4 was going be heavier on the action than it was).
Ending was crappy, but who plays this for the story anyways (plus, with RAGE, Id's two for two with crappy endings).

I would have gladly replaced the arena fight demon spawns with just putting all those scores of demons in the level naturally.
The combat is good tho so its not a big deal.

Alright, the multiplayer beta was awful but I trust you guys and I'm buying in to the single player hype. Just brought a PS4 copy home.
If you haven't already, read my love letter to it. DOOM 2016 is fantastic!
Get it so I can say I've repaid you for the great experience of RE2 and RE3, which you encouraged me to try.
I want to start my second playthrough very shortly (I've been jumping back into other levels looking for secrets, but it isn't as fulfilling as a proper run).
However I'm actually quite concerned about having to do the weapon mod challenges again -- they dictated my first playthrough rather intensely, and I feel like ignoring them on Nightmare is going to be super detrimental to actually beating Nightmare.

This game is a must-play. It's so much fun. It will reinvigorate your gamer soul!
Really disappointing ending, it just kind of fizzles out...but that doesn't change how great the rest of the game was. So far, biggest critique: There is not enough new stuff to see after the first half of the game. I've seen almost every enemy type and weapon at that point and while the game is on a steady upward trajectory until then, it just kinda stalls for the rest of the game with just a few highlights along the way - same goes for the enviroments. With one exception I felt like I've seen almost all of what the game has to offer visually after the first trip to hell.
Overall: An incredible surprise and I can't wait for the sequel.

I'm think I'm at Level 5
Fun game, already got the Shotgun with explosive burst fully modded.
I will admit I'm playing on "I'm Too Young To Die" since this is a rental and I just want to have fun but I've died a few times so I'm probably not that good lol.
Anyways thanks for the recommendations Gaf. Loving this.
The Energy Tower?

Same here. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to even get into the menu.

Let's resist together friend. -STAY STRONG!-
Want to clear two more "short" games on my backlog before jumping on this... Might shut in this weekend and blast through Killzone Shadow Fall and Transformers Devastation so I can pick this up for next weekend.
Lots of time on my hands during the weekends/nights since I am not drinking for a while haha. Also way more money in my wallet!

Welp, I don't get it. The game runs great, and I can go from the beginning of a cleared level to the end without a hitch....but if I get a checkpoint, the game has a quick stutter, kinda like how Halo games used to be.

So I just ordered the game from Amazon after seeing how well the game was recieived. I'm curious though, is the multiplayer trash? I know the beta was recieived horribly and it seems like most of the positive talk is about the campaign.
Is the multiplayer good at all?

If you have a PC available, BFG is actually a downgrade from the original Doom 3 due to the loss of mods.

I wouldn't call it trash. Definitely serviceable. Maybe an acquired taste.
It's a good reminder that id did not develop that portion. Certain Affinity did.

Damn you all. Bought it and played for like 10 minutes. This game wastes no time man, I love it. Everything feels so punchy and the combat is fantastic.

So put in another 2 or so hours tonight, I just
I am going on record as to say this is my favorite First Person Shooter since Half Life fucking 2. And I consider that to be one of the all time classics. Just does everything right for my own personal tastes. And I will always, always say going with a weapon wheel is the way to go. None of this 2 weapons at a time bullshit.
Truly just the more I play, the more I have come to appreciate that this is Doom through and through.
It is god damn brilliant. Seriously my hats off to id. For real huge respect. This game brings it back but in all the right ways, yet it feels very modern while doing so. "Familiar Yet Fresh" is how I heard one YouTube video describe it, I think it was the DF one about being the best looking console shooter, and they nailed it with that line. I actually am starting to believe they had the embargo because they knew it was so damn good they said let's fuck with everyone and make them think it sucks.
Just a few questions as I continue playing this Masterpiece.
I absolutely loved Uncharted 4. Upon completion I stated it was easily my favorite game of this current console generation. While that still holds true, it is easily my favorite console based game, I am enjoying Doom more overall. Playing it on a PC with everything set to Ultra at 2160 on a G-Sync monitor is the best PC gaming experience I have ever had from a performance and visual standpoint, and believe me, over 15 years of PC gaming means I have had some memorable experiences for sure. But this takes the cake.
Simply put, this game is absolute pure ass-kicking frenetic over the top the way it should be done FUN.
Again, kudos to id. They did it.Thank you.
beat what is officially the first boss, the two part guy where the second part is in hell and then the next sequence is the one they demoed a few weeks back.

- Although I have not done so yet I feel like the time is coming soon, so when you go back to replay missions do you keep your current arsenal or is it limited to what was available in that particular level?
- Where can you replay the original Doom levels? I feel like by now I have had to find at least one little dude that unlocks one of the original levels but I am not seeing them anywhere as an option so perhaps not?

Heh... I just glitched the game where I had the equipment mod bot carry me over to it's platform. I was kinda hoping it would be a really interesting section skip, but its not.
