ugh, i checked that guy TWICE and there was never an R3 prompt, so i assumed he was just decoration, and the ammo next to him was the reason for getting up to that ledge. checked a third time and it showed me the prompt (after reloading my checkpoint).
the hitbox for showing the prompt also seemed small, so that's likely why i missed. thanks guys!
Holy crap, I just realized how useful the map is. I haven't really been using it so far, so I never noticed that it showed you the location of secrets and areas you haven't been to yet. I have so much left to explore now.
EDIT: Kinda sucks that I have to keep opening the menu to see the map though.

Yeah, I just finished a 2 hour session with horizontal 100 & vertical 98. I don't think I could ever go back. It has transformed the game. Thanks, izunadono!Yeah, just tried setting it to 100 and it's surprisingly playable this way, not having the trouble aiming I thought I might. I guess turning smoothing off really helps.
Also moved to the bumper jumper scheme. It's a real game changer, literally.

I had to take a break from my nightmare run and just went back through the argent tower on uv looking for the hidden items. Holy shit I love replaying these levels. This game is too fucking fun.
Replaying the missions for fun, Mission 6 (Kadingir Sanctum, the first Hell level) is definitely one of my faves. It's got it all: cool scenery, complex layout, smart backtracking, skull keys and switches, fun platforming, verticality, clever secrets, tons of battles (both waves and light skirmishes), DEMON SLAYER lore tablets, and memorable moments like the demon infighting (Baron introduction, Revenants vs. Mancubus, Imps vs. Unwilling). Good stuff, good stuff!
for those playing classic Doom: make sure to play the bonus episode for Doom 2 (No Rest for the Living/NERVE.WAD)
It was made for Doom 2 XBLA and it's really, really good. Unfortunately it doesn't come with the regular Doom 2 on Steam, you have to buy Doom 3 BFG to get it on PC. But the complete classic collection on PS3 has it.

Getting four barons dumped on me in kadingir's rectum was tense. I did love how you're introduced to the lesser demons trying to fuck him up. Such a great moment.
anyone know if this is a bug? so I completed all the challenges in a level to unlock my upgrade points, then I quite before finishing the level since they can be quite long. When I load the level again all the challenges are grey out, and I have to redo all of them. Problem is some of the challenges require you to find 2 collectable, but if they were found already they will no never show up in the level again. So are the challenges going to remain incomplete forever?

I bought it last night for X1 and it's been purring along just fine in the first couple of missions. Smooth and great looking for me.
According to Digital Foundry, DOOM is excellent on all three platforms.

Guys, I found the perfect soundtrack for replays.
Dethklok Dethalbum I-III.
Perfect.
You haven't lived until you've pushed demon's shit back in with a super shotgun and a rocket launcher to BLOODROCUTED.
Totally metal.

Well than i'm fucked. I kid. I'm making my way through nightmare. Just got to completing rune challenges and battle rewards for weapons. It helps a hell of a lot. I just think people should know that you have to power the fuck through until you're at that point.
I still say. Fuck those homing missle fireball demons that clings to walls. That's bullshit.
This happened to me. When you enter a mission sometimes some challenges will automatically un-register as completed. As long as the challenges in the mission select screen says it's completed, then it's completed and you can ignore what the in mission menu says.

God damn, I just got to the pinky introduction.
I was not prepared. Took me a couple deaths before I got the hang of it.
Then not long after,
That one hurt.
"This shit like showing your dick to a feminist. It triggers you, man."
"You always think you're done eating raisin bran. Youre never done eating raisin bran...that shit don't work like that."
I had no idea I needed to watch tpain play doom.
I was not expecting my introduction to be four at once.
Then not long after,
the 2 pinky 2 hell knight 1 baron & misc fight.

This is gold, I'd legitimately watch TPain play games all the time

How much was it? And it contains Final Doom unlike the XBLA collections right? Might buy tonight as I can't see them releasing it for PS4 anytime soon.
He just had a fucking orgasm BFGing the barons lol

Those sounds were amazing. I might have to watch the playback of this later to make it my text message noise or something.

Yeah I came to the stream late I would've loved to have heard and seen that. T-pain is awesome.
The first time you use the BFG... oh man.
I also discovered the super shotgun early on in either level 3 or 4. Crazy.
$15. Should list everything it contains in the store description.
yes, the PSN version has Final Doom, Master Levels, and No Rest for the Living
it really lives up to the complete collection moniker imo

Well now I want that. :/
Of all the various versions of doom, one of my favorites to play till this day is the ps1 version. I'm not sure why. It's kind of rough in some ways.
I'd just like to point out how extraordinary it is that the demons are able to traverse these very complex, multitiered environments effortlessly. Doesn't matter what the level geometry is like, they can jump around it without missing a beat. Even the purely groundbound ones don't suffer from any noticeable pathing quirks. Super impressive work there.

That must have been a fucking absolute nightmare to work out, I mean seriously.
Man this fucking game, I love it to death.
I was just thinking this earlier. It's incredible how naturally the demons navigate their surroundings. Especially the Imps, who also make use of the walls and feature like 12 different ways to throw fireballs. I was also marveling at the animation work on the Barons, how they move with such speed, power and precision despite their towering stature. Like you said, they never snag on anything, which is amazing given their massive physiques.

That moment when you're first playing and you think you've got one over on the Mancubus as you shoot at him from above, only to have the bastard rocket himself up and land atop you. Shit myself.
Haha, you're like the tenth person to mention this. It's pretty hilarious when it happens. There's nowhere Mancubus can't find you!
I have a few questions about the game. Can someone tell me if mission select will in any way override my save?
I beat the second mission, then saved and quit, but in the mission select, I could only choose between the first and second mission. Shouldn't it have been 1, 2,and 3?
Also, how many missions total?
And what does collecting the marine action figures do exactly?

You can pick up an item then quit the mission, the game would still register that. To play the newest mission, just click continue. The collectible figures unlock models that you can view.
I like the game but looks like I've run into a gamebreaking glitch. Mission objective is "proceed to foundry airlock" but I can't open the airlock. Tried quitting and restarting, same thing. So probably forced to restart the game. Not that far into it but still annoying. Anyone else run into this, any way to get it fixed?

you can restart only the current mission, if nothing else helps

So I'm getting that this is less a horror game than recent titles and more of a nostalgic re-imagining of the originals?
Doom II may actually be the first videogame I ever played, so I'll probably enjoy this one, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't prefer a sequel in the vein of Doom 3.

Get Alien Isolation. Doom 3 isn't really "Doom".

I'm a little confused: Is the Doomguy you play as in this game the same as the one from the older games? The logs I listened to in the game gave me the impression that the old Doomguy was the one being referenced, who was ultimately placed into a sarcophagus, but this Wiki entry suggests that the Doomguy you play as was the one in the sarcophagus who Hayden rescued.

IIRC
there is a button to press near the doorway in the little room with the health pack thing on the wall. I missed that at first. I think you can follow the compass at the top of your screen to find it.

I like killing evil demons from hell more than humans. I didn't want to play Wolfenstein because of the emphasis on blood and gore, but in Doom it's all dumb demons so it doesn't matter.
