Switch Back 9
a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
I see. Well, I thought I was nearly done the game, hence my confusion, but it appears I actually haven't battled a boss yet. Woohoo! Something to look forward to!

I think it was Mission 3, but I reached a PNR and just hit last checkpoint and I was able to backtrack.
I decided to play up to Mission 4 on UV and take a more leisurely play before continuing with Nightmare play through. I think Doom is just trying to reteach people certain skills we needed to play through Quake back in the day (I'm not that old though). Jump, 180 shotty. Dodging and aiming at the same time etc. I think this game would be almost impossible to play properly if you weren't clawing or using paddles...

You've got plenty left if you haven't fought a boss yet. They're all in the last third of the game.

That's the one where you arrive on the train, right? Yea, thats the hardest fight for me, no question. Shit STARTS with two barons...then the Cacodemons, Pinkies, CyberMancubus...relatively cramped area, not a lot of teleporters or lifts for you to panic and escape with, dont remember if there was a power-up either...the mission 13 stuff is easier cuz they give you such a wide area to run around in, here you're just stuck.
So is there a general consensus on whether this is a a reboot or sequel to the first two games? The lore seems to indicate pretty clearly that
, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't interpreting it wrong or something.
you're the Doomguy from those games and you're brought back to essentially kick ass

I didn't follow the story that closely but at the end I had the feeling this was not connected to the first games.
these knight doom guys seemed to imply that this is what they referred to and not the events of doom 1 and 2

What is this driver verifier? Where can i find it? Sorry if it's a silly question.
Just finished, a highly enjoyable campaign, love the old-school + some new-school approach.
My main complaints would have to be
My main complaints would have to be
the boss fights. All of them was just a open flat arena with a tanky boss, and some pattern recognising. The cyber-demo was fine, but when the two following bosses, more or less copying this, it was a little letdown. Wished they had a bit more complexity to them, not to mention some architectural/geometry to them. Felt way more bad-ass at the arena fights during the regular missions.

Don't worry in Doom V, you play as Punished Venom Doomed Marine as you try to take down Samuel Hayden and his network of corporations and hell legions.
Only to find out you were actually just a brainwashed hell raiser, while the real DoomGuy was busy taking down the Icon of Sin.
Just beat thefight. The boss fights in this game are so fun, I fear I may be close to finishing itHell Guards
Not quite in the home stretch but you are getting there.
the hardest fight for me was the one you ride into atop of a train. A Carckathing and two giant dudes there from the off.
Yep, that's the one. If I recall correctly, I start out by one-shotting the distant Cacodemon with the Gauss Cannon's siege mode. Then I have a few seconds to gather shit nearby before the two Barons (and two Revenants, iirc) drop onto the train platform. It's not long before Imps are also all up in my ass throwing fireballs everywhere. I usually take out the lot of them on the platform before dropping down, by which point more Cacodemons are on my tail, and Lost Souls are bombarding me out of nowhere. More Revenants show up, but shit really gets real when the Cyber Mancubi appear on the scene. At that point I chainsaw through them, only for the Pinkies to start rushing me down (and more Revanants, why are there so many Revenants). And when I'm done with -them-, there's another Cyber Mancubus, and two more Barons of Hell, and then a regular Mancubus to round things out. I'm sure there's more that I'm missing. Goddamn, that fight is HARD.

my hardest fight was the one right after you get the chainsaw. funny thing is I beat it the first try but wanted to get back before I hit the checkpoint but got squished in the elevator. after that it took me 20 tries to beat it again. early nightmare you just don't have enough weapons and with that not enough ammo. I beat it on ultra nightmare though.
the late game fights where all easy because I had most of the upgrades. died maybe 4 times tops on the encounters.

Perhaps the battle before deactivating the third thingy near the end of the game? Honestly the whole game on UV felt fairly relaxed though. The arsenal was so grotesquely powerful and it always felt like I had all the room in the world to maneuver.
I might be willing to replay if NM didn't feel so soul crushingly difficult by comparison.

Nah, there are a few of you brave souls.

I play Hurt Me Plenty on PS4, and Ultra-Violence on PC. Hurt Me Plenty is nice when I just want to chill and shoot dudes.

I doubt it. This game is just bringing back a lot of classic FPS vets.
not sure what region youre in, but US has retail discs

I fell through the world just now when I was performing a glory kill on a cacodemon.
I didn't mind because that meant I got to do the fight all over again.

Just beat it on ultra violence. Absolutely fucking phenomenal game. Double jumping around at 90mph headshotting fools with the Gauss cannon is pure bliss

Yeah but it only has like 8 gigs of the game, it installs some of it and downloads the rest of the 55gb. I know because a friend of mine on my steam list bought a digital copy for me and a physical PC copy for himself(his internet isn't very good) and he told me and we talked about it for like thirty minutes.
Poor guy, he was so mad, and I feel for him even with good internet that shit takes forever. I dread the days when we get to 100gb games.
Hardest part for me was, IIRC, right after you get the BFG.
Tunnel with two pinkies that charge you, into the room with an elevator where you basically fight fuckin' everything.
Then a small cooldown into a lockdown that pits you vs. two barons. Might have just been the room layout or something since they actually give you a TON of resources to clear everything but I got hung up there for a bit. Probably the sketchiest checkpoint in the game for me too.
Bluray adoption on PC is pretty low and publishers don't want to pay for multi-DVD retail copies.

Finally unlocked every achievement in a bit less than 30 hours, what a ride! Really hope they'll give Quake this treatment next.

surprised how incredible this is, my computer hard locked while trying to catch that bitch olivia so i had to quit for the night. the weapon progression is amazing
One of many neat little touches that i love about this game is that you are inside a huge space marine suit of armor but there is no obnoxious "you are inside a helmet" sort of HUD there like in Halo 5 for example. Shit like this just takes away FOV.
They even display parts of the inside of your helmet when you pick it up at the beginning of the game, just to remove it a second later. I love that, id knows whats good.

Q1's mix of themes would be great, hate how Q2 turned it into a sub Doom.

I know the 12 enemy limit in snapmap is stupid but if youre creative it shouldn't get in the way too bad. I'm working on 2 maps right now and when played the enemy limit should never even be noticed or felt.

I'm sad there isn't a new game + option so you keep all the upgrades.
but... what would this differently than mission select?

You cannot select a difficulty higher than one you beat it with in mission select
