Thank you for this Protip. I didn't do it on my first playthrough, but I will on my next.
Thinking about playing Wolfenstein Old Blood. Bought it for a fiver and haven't tried it yet.

Do you have the Steam cloud save?

That's a good point. I definitely do, but Doom tells me that the profile/save is corrupted.
What other enemies are you using the chainsaw on? Big enemies (including pinkie) is a waste unless you are speed running, it takes 3-5 fuel for those. Any other enemy is super easy and easier to fight at a distance anyway. You shouldn't use it around imps because they will punish you.
The chainsaw exists to get you ammo (or easy glory kill if you are low on health). It takes 1 fuel to kill a shield bro. There are like... maybe a dozen or so in the game.

Goddamn this game is amazing. Biggest surprise hit for me this year. I thought it would be good going by impressions in here and now i'm about 6 hours in, and my god I'm having such a blast. I'm deliberately having breaks to savor the experience as I don't want it to end lol.

Right. Got this delivered a few days ago, but did not have time to post until now: The Art of Doom Limited Edition book. This is a really, really nice companion piece if you enjoyed the game. I suppose I should apologize in advance, as all pictures were taken in my room on my phone, with less than amazing lighting.
The slipcase.
The Cyberdemon lithograph.
The cover of the actual book. It's done in a nice soft-touch laminate, with red foil on the logo and edge of the pages.
And, finally, an interior page. Obviously I couldn't post them all, but there's some pretty cool art in here.

Found this in my disc holder today...
I love the hell (pun intended) out of the game and all, but come on. The art is brilliant overall but shit did they kind of botch Doomguy. His design's grown on me a little and of course he's meant to be mostly one-note, but it didn't have to be that.

Does anyone think we'll get a resurrection of evil sized expansion for the campaign?
The multiplayer is fine but I'd rather just play Halo 5 tbh.
I'd buy a campaign expansion in a heartbeat though, still stuck with n my last cheevo, damn UAC on ultra nightmare.... Grrrrr got so close many times, most frustrating thing ever, I literally can't bare to play a different game until I see that final 10G pop!

His actual model doesn't look nearly as bad. It, like most things in the game, looks much better when it isn't viewed through a monochromatic filter. I hope they'll tone those down for the next game. Some of those monster designs are quite colorful, but you can hardly tell if you just see them in Campaign Vision.
It's still overdesigned, but that can't probably can't be helped. That's modern sci-fi video game character design for ya.
There's also CSGO and Overwatch. Pretty relevant.
I don't even mind the mono, I like that art. The Relevant looks great. He's just kind of bland and over-detailed as you say. The in-game model does look good. I think it'd be better if they maintained more of his original design in an ironic way, the t-shirt and big helm. Sort of silly with a gloss of frankness, similar to the rest of the direction.
I only had one, in the last stage, and no save file issues, so i'd say not that often.
I do back my save up every mission i clear though, just in case.

I think they're dumb for banking on the MP with the season pass. I would've bought if it was about SP content.
Those cyber fatties. GOd I hate them so much and just want them out of the way. I also sometimes use it against a Baron in high stress situations, though I later started using the BFG for that. Thing is I rarely feel like I'm low on ammo.

This is the second time I've seen this on GAF, but I can't find an official mention of it anywhere.
Never mind. Found it.

This was already posted in the SnapMap thread, but the first update was announced, which includes improvements to all three modes:
The multiplayer update already happened last night.

id taking control of the multiplayer can only be a good thing. The current MP is... functional, but definitely not amazing, particularly when compared to the single-player component.
New Snapmap updates are welcome - Snapmap a fantastic idea, but it needs a lot more work, at least in its current incarnation. I hope there's a lot more down the pipeline to help it reach its potential.
And lastly: classic weapon viewmodels? Completely unexpected, but very welcome!
I don't understand it - how can id keep getting away with making the best game of 2016 even better? It defies all logic.

So, I only need the RPG remote detonation.. Thing.. Mastery to have mastered all weapons. Any chapters/locations where it's easy to get that?

Mastered all weapons, and OFC the trophy is glitched and didn't pop -_- Hope the upcoming update will fix this and give me my trophy

Closest thing is the Funko POP figure, but those things are ugly as hell.
Interesting. If pre-orders come early enough I might get it on account of the current Doom high. Only high-end figure available is a statue based on the original cover.
Yeah, it was awesome. I need a high res version of it. The scene at the end where he tosses the demon and crosses his arms to hold the shotgun looks so badass.

You know what Doom needs?
A Lovecraft mod.
A Lovecraft mod.
Their Halo Spartan figures were $200 so I expect this to be the same, unless they include a bunch of large weapons.
If anyone makes the Doomguy figures then they have to include the music riff.
EDIT: Just finished it. Will definitely sweep up the last of the acievements.
What a fantastic game! And that credits sequence was awesome! A great Wolfenstein and a great DOOM, now we just need Quake and Commander Keen! =D

Yes! Doom must be the first time I've been disappointed I couldn't view a game's credits from the menu screen.
You actually can. It's on the title screen.

Just finished the game.
I grew up on the original DOOMs and wasn't blown away by the game at first but it slowly started to click with me and then it became really great.
The graphics in the game are insane and there were times it was hard to believe my PC was processing what was going on the screen. I absolutely loved the speed and it really captured the feeling of the late 90s quick-twitch shooters perfectly.
I wasn't a huge fan of some of the character designs and I guess my biggest complaint was the sound design and the fact that the game just wasn't scary. It's silly now but the original DOOMs were terrifying and just hearing the sounds of the demons in other rooms didn't make you want to go in. I didn't get any of that in this one. It was more "cool" than scary. The music was also too muted and in the background and I wanted it more in your face like the originals.
Still, minor nitpicks. A fantastic game and although I liked Wolfenstein: A New Order better, I'd give it the same score of 8/10.

Amazing, amazing game. I bought it this week and I'm on mission 7 right now. Easily my favorite FPS in a looong time. Since Halo 3 at least.
It really feels like the Fury Road of the shooters, so I put together a sort of wallpaper to use these days:
This truly is the Id that shaped the genre in the nineties <3

Finally finished it , tried to take my time with it . Ended up missing a ton of secrets so I look forward to going back and trying again on higher difficulty .
Last few hell fights felt like a white knuckle thrill ride , for the first time in ages I found myself having to concentrate hard and end up scraping. Through a lot of them felt amazing .
Also best end credits ever , looking forward to replaying and maybe checking out snap map. I hope the devs are working on more campaign dlc .

I'm a little late to the party (for some reason I thought this game was going to be a disaster, but the reviews seem to indicate otherwise), so I'd like to pick this up on PC.
Cheapest option seems to be a boxed copy from Amazon at $40, I see earlier in this thread someone said that the boxed copy can be redeemed on steam - is this my best option?

The game is easily worth $40. And yes, all boxed PC games these days come with a Steam code on the inside. =)

I'm really enjoying this, but does anyone else feel like they tipped the balance too much in favor of arena battles? I personally would have preferred the big battles to be more metered out with some corridor shooting - everybody who's saying this feels exactly like Doom 1 and 2 must haved played different games because while those certainly had their big battles, a lot of moments were spent wondering if there was an enemy around the corner.
It's almost like 3 went too corridor and this went too arena.

Agreed. The game is great but it needs enemy layouts as opposed to arenas.
Hopefully they will do this for the next one.
