Yeah, the sound mix does seem off. The other noise is body parts bouncing/rolling around noise. It's like way too loud. I kept thinking it was a monster stomping around until I figured out what it was.

Metal chunks from exploding barrels always sound like they are in close proximity as well no matter which distance the barrels are exploding from.
Ya this only a console problem (play with Sony headset) ? Or this seem like a general thing ?

What's up with these Bethesda shooters and their shitty sound mixing? It can't be the engine because Evil Within sounds great.
Legit question: Are you all right?
I understand how some people consider gore and detailed rag doll physics as a cool detail, but that amount of focus on blood and guts, blood and guts, blood and guts doesn't seem healthy to me, honestly.

Legit question: Do you realize you're in a Doom thread, which also happens to be titled "Rip and tear, until it's done"?

Just finished the game. That kind of just.....ended. Final boss didn't feel like a final boss and that last scene was just weird.
Still fantastic game. Gonna play it on Nightmare now.

I could see this being up there....personally Hitman an The Witness are above it, due to their execution of new ideas rather than perfection of old.
Blood for the blood god...

Goddamn I love the movement in this game. Sure it's not as fast as Quake, but it's just so free-flowing. I feel like I can go anywhere in heavy combat, but not to the point where the game is making decisions for me. It's so satisfying to bounce around the level like a coked up gorilla with a shotgun.

Yes, but I kind of assumed the majority of people are playing Doom for the fast game play, guns with "oomph", interesting map & enemy design and consider gore as just one secondary feature of the game (I'm not saying everyone considers excessive gore as a kind of necessary evil in games) but okay you've convinced me. This game's only purpose is to get them sweet totally-not-borderline-sociopathic-sadistic blood, guts and graphic violence shots. Anyone thinking otherwise likes Barbie games and there's no middle ground. Glad we got that figured out.
Edit: I'm not saying it's sociopathic to go "Hey I ripped that demon in half, sweet" and continue gaming, just that saying "more graphic violence = better game" and excessive focus on blood and guts is something I've never heard anyone say. Then again why am I even trying to be reasonable when you're saying "any criticism=hurr barbie gaems"

all right, so what I did I set all settings to low and restarted then set everything to ultra, now the blood works like in the videos you posted. At least I got it fixed finally.
Yup, I'm glad we straightened that out

The best part about the chainsaw is the flood of ammo after a sawing.
I also like that you can saw more than just trash mobs.

The whole build up from the

It's difficult to find time to play this with the family around... itching for more! The 2nd level was surprisingly long! Especially while trying to find as many secrets as I could. It's nice how the map says "Yup, there's something there", but only vaguely hints at how to get to it. Brilliant combination of level and map design!
I may need to stop hunting every secret and push forward... I should try to play through this more than once, afterall.

Not that the devs need an excuse but the gore makes total sense in the context of being the demonic Punisher. You're the monster under the bed to these lesser monsters - the thing they fear most. All of their size, strength, and hideous brutality means absolutely fuck-all when you can tear them apart with your bare hands.
It's also so over the top and cartoony that it really doesn't have the same kind of impact of something like TLoU. The violence in TLoU was uncomfortable, here it's just funny and ridiculous.

All right so I just reached Detroit for the first time, it doesn't look so bad.
Hell actually being Detroit would be the best plot development ever.

.....I am really not sure what your point is from your posts in the thread. What are you trying to accomplish?
If you read the previous posts, it's really simple. "mcz117chief" posts several posts where he obsesses over "...tearing guts out with bare hands, ripping spines out, tearing people in half showering yourself in guts, etc. etc.), so much blood and guts....blood and guts flying everywhere...I am talking exclusively about blood and guts... All the entrails flying around, blood with volume sliding and sticking to surfaces, etc....". I personally don't think that level of obsessing over gory dismemberment is healthy and ask if he is okay. If any of my friends wrote kind of stuff I'd be genuinely concerned about them.
The post you quoted was me explaining the difference between liking a game that's gory and liking a game only because it's gory. I don't think the latter is healthy.
He's not obsessing over those things, he's describing them as they are depicted in Brutal Doom/Doom 2016. They were discussing the differing level of violence and gore between Brutal Doom and this game, in which you do those actions and where there is literally blood and guts everywhere. I can't speak for them, but I pretty sure they don't only like Doom games because they are gory.
It sounds like you're projecting a bit here or overreacting.

Seriously, in a doom thread you're going to ride in on a high horse and say that the interest in gore isn't healthy? Despite whatever psychological basis you have for making that statement, is the doom thread really where you are looking for discourse about it?
Who are you to make that judgement about a person based on thinking the gore is cool, and I guess the added bonus of making you feel superior is purely ancillary.

Weird how its crotch is bleeding too.
I'm sure you would be pissing yourself too if you saw Doom Marine gunning at you with a chainsaw

If you're pissing blood, you're probably already dead.
(kidneys)Maybe the demon had kidney failure after years of drug abuse from depression after the last time Doomguy was in Hell and slaughtered its family.
Whoa. This dude slides in like the hobo from Mulholland Drive.

just the repetitive nature of it was getting to me. not to mention it kind of gave away combat encounters. i turned it back on and just lowered the volume a tad. playing the game in silence felt weird too...as this isn't a horror game.

Played it. Finished it. Loved it.
You know that a game does it right when it eventually clicks and you are jumping, climbing, glory killing enemies, shotgun blasting their faces and end up BFGing them within 5-6 seconds.
I do not even care when I die. It gives me enough incentive to up my game and try out different tactics.
The rune that gives extra maneuverability is a goddamn lifesaver as well.

Even more than the upgraded saving throw rune? >.>
I love how the music ramps up and down. It starts jamming hard and wailing on guitars and I'm like "it's go time!"
Then near the end of an encounter I'm like "is that it? Is that it?" And finally kill the last demon and can breathe again.
Anyone know what the limit is on how many demons the game can put on screen at once? I would hope for it to be even more chaotic in a sequel.

Thats the same for me, I'm playing on Ultra Violence and dying a shit load but it's so much fun I dont mind. I just want to Rip and Tear and watch the guts fly everywhere.

This is my new early game of the year, even though my save file got corrupted halfway through. Didn't even phase me much because I got to play through most of the game again.
