You do get some varied scenery, but I think one of the game's strengths is that it sticks to such a consistent visual theme throughout. I personally never felt it to be monotonous and thought the visual pacing was on point.

why hello. So there's no "100% playthrough" really, but rather a "100% save slot". So i can do cleanup on misc. challenges or weapon masteries in any mission i choose?
that's super neat, thanks for clearing that up. That'll make me a lot less anxious and enjoy my playthrough a lot more

As I was playing back through this game, I couldn't help but wonder, "What would it be like if it were set to the music of the originals?" I eventually decided to capture footage from most of the levels and set them to the songs I thought fit best.

The time-to-kill is low? Everyone has been complaining that it's too high (since we're not picking up weapons, weapons are weaker).

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
I have a mixed feeling about this game.
I like the gameplay, the graphics, the gore, speed and all, but I don't feel like playing it for to long. It kinda bores me to quick. I can't really explain. I'm still at the beggining of the campaign, so maybe is that?

to be fair, i feel the same. I only play 1 mission / session, really.
but i'm a huge completionist and that "save and quit" button after 100%ing a level is just so tempting. it gives a nice sense of closure to each single mission.
Let me rephrase that, damage drop-off is completely broken, from afar weapons do hardly anything, but up close they will one shot you or two shot you.
So up close the time to kill is way too low, and from far away it's to high.

So i just got back from the first level in hell, how long do i have left? This game is just insanely fun, but im constantly worried its gonna run out of enemies/weapons to throw at me.... it hasnt so far, but its just so typical for games these days!
you're a little bit less than halfway through the game (seeing as mission 1 is ridiculously short)
I'm confused by the dislike for the multiplayer in this game. I think it's a blast and a refreshing break away from 'aim down sights' in multiplayer games on console.
What guns are you using that suffer damage drop off? I use the burst rifle and does a consistent 10 points of damage to the body and 15 to the head?
Edit : also the controls in this game are TIGHT. I'm managing to pull off some seriously impressive shots on PS4 because the cursor goes EXACTLY where I want to put it on both the X & Y axis. After playing Overwatch where the controls (to me) are seriously flawed.
Well I'm a fan of TF2/Quake style multiplayer, and to me it just sort of feels like Call of Duty and Quake had an ugly baby.
Maybe I haven't played enough, I'm also on PC so it's pretty different.

Its so frantic that I tend to play it in short bursts. It's non-stop, but it's brilliant fun. Best shotgun in gaming.

Maybe my problem is that I just finished Blood & Wine. So I went from Beauclair to Hell. That's a hell of a difference.

DOOM is a series about immediacy. I play both the original Doom and the new DOOM only about 1-2 hours in a given day, but these games provide immediate fun in those 1-2 hours. Playing an open world RPG like The Witcher is better suited for longer, more drawn out play sessions.
It depends what mood you're in.

I really need the soundtrack and just more music like this in general.
Someone with good music knowledge should do a music inspired by Doom playlist for Spotify.
Is there some kind of progress killing bug in the room before the Lazarus Elevator? The holographic sequence that shows civilians running into occurs, and then I hoi the computer panel to open the door. I ripped the eye out of whatever you call those things, and killed all the enemies that were summoned. I had to stop playing, and when I went back, it has me in the previous room, but with no computer panel active to open the door. You can go one room back and do the glory kill rune trial, but there doesn't appear to be a way back into the elevator room.
Loving the game up to this point, but I appear to be screwed in getting further. Thus is version 1.03 on PS4.

Thanks for all of the replies. Sounds good, though I may wait to get it until my next break in college work in a couple of months.
Well I'm a dumbass. I was joining the queue for the playlist in MP expecting it to put me into any of the game modes selected and wondering why I wasn't getting in games. Selected TDM and got straight in.
So 1000/1000 now. Man that Ultra Nightmare level was brutal.
GOTY.
Also I think I might like the multiplayer more than Overwatch.

Very nice. I'd thought about cutting together something like this myself, using Sonic Clang and Andrew Hulshult's mixes instead of the original MIDI tracks. Really love the vibe in the sequence at 17:55.

I didn't really follow the story about the wraiths at the end, can someone explain this?

Question - rather than using a field drone on an upgrade I don't want (I'm only on level 2 - started playing yesterday) could I instead ignore the drone and play the level again once I've got better weapons and it will still be there to upgrade those weapons instead?
Thanks
The number of drones equals the total number of upgrades for all weapons, so if you want to upgrade all weapons you will have to replay a level if you missed the drone on it. I'm not sure I explained it very well but in answer to your question, yes, you can do that.

I think you're also saying I might as well upgrade it though - because there are enough drones to get all of the upgrades...peanutbutterlatte

You answered fine
Sure. Just be aware that some of the drones are well hidden and you may miss them on your first playthrough of certain maps. Or until you upgrade your suit to show all the map's secrets.

Jesus fuck, these classic maps are some bullshit. They should add even more soldiers and pinky demons to every room. Got to the final room of Phobos Labs only to be annihilated by 4 pinkies and no less than a dozen soldiers. It's getting to the point where they just aren't fun. They didn't even try to balance it.
Luckily the main game is fantastic. Just beat level 8. Playing on Ultra Violence. Been finding all the secrets and everything in every level. Difficulty is pretty comfortable. maybe even a little easier than I'd like (except for those unfair classic maps).

Based off all the great impressions I read it in this thread, I bought Doom last week and beat it tonight. What a ride! First game in a while where I actually wanted to find all the secret/collectibles just because how fun it was to discover hidden nooks and crannies. Combat was addictive, and I never got sick of glory kills. I do wish there was at least 1 or 2 more bosses in the game though, as I highly enjoyed the 3 that were in the game. Not sure if this is a common sentiment. Lastly, I have played too many shooters over the last couple years that focus too much on story; Doom was great because I could more or less completely ignore it and just have fun.
My 2nd favourite game this year right after Dark Souls III.

I'm quite far in the game and haven't hit a classic Map yet.
So I'm assuming my eyes are not catching the entrances.
What do they look like?
This game is truly amazing. The controls are so well done. Only thing that bothers me is stopping in the middle of the action to use the weapon wheel on console.

I only found the one in the first level. It was a
lever that opened up a secret door

you can usually spot them on the map as rooms you have not found, yet. not all of them but most
there is always a lever that opens them and in most cases it's nearby. not in the same room but maybe 30 seconds away.
All of them are found by
finding a hidden lever, which opens the door to them. They are hide to find, I had to use a guide to find some of them.

Now that everyone's gone this was a dumb question.
anyways.
Is the RPG map people are talkin about called Ultra Doom Zombies RPG?

Opened my father's day gift and my daughter gifted me Doom on the Xbox One (she is only 3 so I dont know how she bought it without ID).
Remember playing Doom on shareware on a floppy disc as a wide eyed 10 year old. I can't wait to try this game after all of the reactions.

A few of them are behind large, sturdy looking doors. Most of them are just behind inconspicuous walls. They're easy to find by checking the map and seeing that there's a room behind a wall that you haven't explored. They are opened with levers that are on the ground somewhere in the vicinity of the door.
The levers are dull looking and hard to spot, so they are much harder to find than the door itself. After you find the classic level, the full version of the level is available from the main menu.

Just played the demo and loved it. Does this game have splitscreen multiplayer?
I've been playing this for the last day or two on my Xbox and I really like it, but I've run into a weird bug. I just entered the Foundry and all of a sudden the sound mix has gone nuts. My guns and badguys make noises, but I have no background music or any ambient noise. So if I'm not fighting the game is literally silent. When I enter the pause menu there's music. I can live with this for one level but if the rest of my whole game i screwed up I'm kinda pissed. Anyone else have this issue?

I ran into this yesterday in level 7. A lot of missing sounds. No footsteps, jump noises, etc. Gun shots worked though. It didn't last long though. I think it fixed itself after I died.
Had some weird mapping issues in Kadinger Sanctum too. Parts of my map weren't filling out when I walked there, and my cursor was too high and to the right of where I actually was. Had a few Lost Souls get frozen into place and say textures disappear a few times too. Just a buggy load in of the level i guess.
