That second boss was a dick. Such a huge health pool.
On another note, I tried to play COD tonight and I felt like my feet were glued to the ground. Doom has me spoiled.

I think DOOM has ruined most first-person shooters for me. Not only the smooth movement (running, mantling, double-jumping), but also the tempo of battle with its aggressive enemies that chase you, no reloading or ADS, and no reliance on cover. After DOOM, few shooters can compare in the fun department.

Coming to Overwatch after this game.... woof! I can't shake how perfect the controls in Doom jived with me!
Overwatch is great too but it doesn't have demon massacring so it can never be better

Doom is like a game from an alternate universe, a universe where people didn't become obsessed with CoD and aiming down sights and realistic military shit and regenerating health. It's form a universe where people looked at Doom 1 and 2 and said "You know, these games are pretty sweet. We should keep making games fast paced like this" and then they did, for generations, and then Bethesda/id opened up a portal (not unlike the plot of Doom) to this alternate universe and stole this Doom.
Now we just have to wait for the devs to go too far in their quest for
Every FPS dev should study the controls for this game. I can't believe how precise it is on a controller.

It's also a false dichotomy, because moneybags businessmen would dictate then we'd just be oversaturated with this instead of that.
I agree, the sound effect is so weak. They should have used the original one or the Doom 3 one.
Very nice. It always baffled me that neither this nor the new Wolfenstein had an option to use a classic face HUD.
- No real analogue movement, completely digital
- Poor deadzone etc. causing used controllers to WALK in a particular direction and get stuck at that speed
- Weapon switching confusing, with the weapon wheel changing the 'next' weapon in the quick select, as opposed to replacing it. (imagine picking up a plasma pistol in Halo for it to replace the weapon that is stored)
- Numerous bugs such as pressing Y from the BFG causing one of your weapons in the quick change to be replaced with a Combat Shotgun or Assault Rifle, but not when you press the BFG button
- Look Smoothing being on with such a large percentage by default

Max it out as soon as you can! That gun is like the butter and butter when it comes to dealing with the hordes. Its final upgrade will proves its usefulness in later chapters of the game. I never touched the regular shotgun again after I got my hands on it..lol

Same here. Even if it was in the form of some easter egg or something. Maybe they figure with the alternate firing modes for the guns it'd be too cramped to fit it all into a classic styled HUD, I don't know. Either way, it'd look sweet.
Also, what if BJ Blazkowicz IS the Doom Slayer!
Love it!
The controls/movement in DOOM are so smooth that when I'm done clearing out an arena of all its demons and loot, I'll just run laps around the place, darting across platforms and mantling obstacles and double-jumping for no reason other than that it FEELS SO GOOD
Yeah totally. Love aiming down and shooting demons from above as I leap over their heads. Heat blasted a Hellknight to bits as we were both soaring towards each other in mid-air just now. Just cos I could.
Upgraded Air Mobility, Savagery (faster GKs), and Blood Fuelled runes. I like to move around fast. Turned the sensitivity up to max now. I'm a tornado of death.

A big issue with game developers and publishers is that so many of them want to copy other games that are doing well. People made Doom clones for a while. Half-Life kicked off a bunch of linear games with more narrative focus. Medal of Honor and Call of Duty caused us to get tons of WWII games. I can't remember which games had ADS before it, but I'm guessing Modern Warfare''s massive success was what caused everyone to switch to modern day with ADS and slap ranking systems into their multiplayer modes. Titanfall introduced us to near future with wall running and such, and now all the CoD games do that.
There's very little out there like Doom these days, and gamers are loving it because it feels refreshing. Battlefield 1's trailer generated tons of positive attention, mostly because it's going for a setting that's relatively untouched. People don't want 15 of the same game, they want 15 different games. While I would like to see more games like Doom, I don't want all shooters to go that way. I want variety.
You know what's insane? Playing Overwatch for a while, then jumping back into Doom.
It's like you're on fucking ROCKETS.

If anyone was having as many issues as I was with the A Toe Into Madness trophy/achievement, I made a short(ish) video to show how to do it quick and easy.

I'm kind of late saying this, but this game is super awesome. I never play with kb+m ever and I'm doing it here I personally feel thats a real testament to the game. I definitely don't need every shooter to be like this from now on, but hopefully it will bring about less corridor shooters. I think id deserves a lot of respect for what they've made it takes some serious confidence to put keys and complex maps into a shooter in 2016. I think Zenimax also deserves a shoutout for seemingly having the patience and respect to let their devs do something different with their games. With how risk averse publishers are these days it's something worth applauding.
I wrote a review for this game. I haven't written a game review since forever, but I love it so much I decided to try: https://mtconsidered.co.uk/2016/05/27/single-player-is-the-main-thing-doom-review/
Just finished all the achievements. Finding all the data logs was the hardest part.
The UN UAC took me 4 tries then I had it. Coming from my Nightmare playthrough it wasn't that hard.
Think I'm gonna start a new game now, just can't get enough of it.
ID and Bethesda better come up with a singleplayer addon.

I stopped caring about secrets and I'm having a much better time. I'm searching for obvious things, like upgrades and all that, but I'm not losing any sleep over bonus challenges. What a game. Between this and Overwatch, my first person coordination has gone up significantly.
I tried out the first level in ultra nightmare yesterday and couldn't make it to the end despite several tries. Final encounter did me in. The difficulty jump from Hurt me plenty to that is pretty huge.
Also weird: I picked a new game and it immediately dropped me in the first level proper, without the 'rip & tear' intro. Is that a first game only thing?

Ultra Nightmare does that for some reason. I think it is so you do not have to live out the intro every time you will inevitably die playing it.
Ooh yeah of course, the permadeath. That makes sense, thanks. I do love how it still shows the checkpoint notifications, like the game is mocking you.

The first section of the fifth mission was sweeeeeet. Great mix up in the level design.

I wish Nightmare would do that. The first room of imps is one of the tougher parts on nightmare.

I have just got the BFG; how far off the end of the game am I?
I am deciding whether to replay some missions as I have missed a tonne of collectibles / trials. At what point do you get the faster movement? I bet I have missed it.

I've always wondered if those checkpoints still serve a purpose in ultra nightmare. Maybe the saves still work to recover you from crashes?

I guess you can quit the game and continue? so they do serve a purpose

There's no New Game + per se, you're just able to keep your upgrades/weapons when choosing from the mission select.
The checkpoints still apply since you can quit the game and continue from that point later. You're only reset to the very beginning if you get killed.

While out walking my dog I thought about double jumping the Pinkies instead of trying to side step them. Shit better work.
