Oh I have a 300$ limit, I can pay it off right away, not a big issue
Welcome to Canada where we don't have fancy GCU and games are 80$
PC version an option? The game is like 40$ on cdkeys.

There are so many games man, sometimes it's the best value to a reader to prioritize coverage for the right games, that deserve it.
Seems good to me. Balances old school mechanics and new school presentation. Quite a lot of character and weapon customization too. I've put about 8 hours in and the end doesn't look in sight but I'm not actually sure.
no deathmatch confirmed. Sad.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

Considered it, not sure if my PC will handle it. At least I can get Overwatch for PC, which will save me a little.

I'm already playing it on Steam. Weird.
It's pretty damn good so far. Feels different to other games - I actually struggle to make comparisons to other games.
Looking forward to playing more tomorrow lunchtime
I played it for about 90 minutes and I really enjoy it so far as well. Gave me a good impression and I'll wait for another before going back.

For funsies we played doom on pc and ps4 side by side in the office and everyone watching was like same game? lol I think I never saw an fps played so differently on different platform. Not saying console version is bad though.
Have you ever played any Doom games in the past? Overwatch is more of a happy go lucky game for the 15-21 year old twitch tv generation. Expect lots of memes on reddit and instagram. Expect your head getting blown off in Doom.
Oh yes, given I was quite young at the time, but we had Doom 1 and 2 both on PC. I was pretty hyped for this one, till I saw more footage and got kind of turned off by it. But now these impressions...

I think it would be right up your alley. It has the dynamic and tactical combat of Halo, the balls to the wall speed of Unreal Tournament. Don't know about what Resistance offered since I never played that.

Still willing to give this a shot and ignore it's supposed to be Doom but need to ask two questions:
-Can you turn all that 'you achieved!!' 'Go here' '90 steps to objective here' shit off? I know you can turn off the finisher color flashes but wondering about that.
-The deal breaker question...are levels ACTUALLY intricate or just compared to typical modern FPS layout? Are arenas with enemy waves common and are levels laid out like enemy wave arenas with connections and secrets thrown in to make it 'old school'? I mean be honest, how does the level design compare to real deal 90s FPSs not Wolfenstein TNO.

The speed looks enticing I guess I worry about the repetitiveness.

16 hours campain. Ok that sold me.

What modern series would you compare it to?
- You can turn off all HUD elements. And customize which ones you want on and off.
- Yes. Kinda both. They are really big with loads of verticality, branching paths and a butt load of secrets. To be honest I'm not sure if modern design has made me forget how open things used to be but the levels are damn big and and a load of fun to move around and kill in. Great sense of location to with the places making sense.
Is it 16 hours of industrial space factory though peppered with hell sections?

Yo for those with early copy what's the verdict? Is it atleast as good as doom3?

Most people are saying it's much better than Doom 3.

This game + SweetFX
OH YES
OH YES
Can't really compare it. Game is much more fast paced than anything I have played recently. Absolutely need to concentrate on every move you make, as well as manage your resources as well as chainsaw fuel. Killing enemies in certain priorities will definitely make your life easier as well.
These reasons alone make it different than many shooters that have come out lately.
In a completely different league to Doom 3 - it's so much better in every way it's not funny. It also plays like Doom should - huge open spaces, sprawling levels and fast visceral combat focusing on movement.
Here is the image I'll be using for Steam.
That one is PERFECT. Thanks!

How are the kill animations? I imagine they would get old fast and take you out of the action a lot.
Also, is it Doom Guy?

Don't have the game but I've heard this from others as for your second question:
One of the collectibles states that this is in fact the marine from the first two games, frozen in Hellcarbonite, the UAC teams basically find him and revive him.
Kill animations have gotten rather annoying at this point...and the part that bothers me the most is the need to rely on them for health. There is a small variety per enemy depending where you initiate the attack from...but they all end up looking almost the same and kind of getting in the way of you feeling like a real badass jumping around landing wicked shots.
No idea if it is the same guy appearance wise...but he does have similar armour?
Bought it, fuck it it looks great, I had $20 in my steam account I intended to get a VR game for my Vive with but whatever. I checked my bank account and saw my tax refund came in and that made it clear for me lol. Can't wait to play it, my download should be done right when it unlocks.

What do you think of the game overall? Fun or does it get repetitive?
NightShift

That's cool I guess. Do you know what he is referred as in game?
That sucks, getting locked into animations is a pet peev of mine. Are you sure there's no option to turn them off?

You can just not do them..Enemies still drop health/ammo if you just shoot them to gibs. Just not as much.

You don't have to do them. You just get health more often if you do. Enemies will still drop health sometimes when just killed with guns.

The killing animations are completely optional, you don't have to rely on them but they do help out.
As for what
Doom guy is referred to in this game? I have no idea, people have been vague. What I told you is what I heard and saw on a stream.
I mean, I really suck in this game. But is this his first videogame?
I really like it so far (Ps4). Graphics are fine, had tearing a few times but I am playing without the day one patch. Controlls are good, fast compared to the most console fps. Game has a great atmosphere imo. Brainless gorefest, love it.

You can put A.I.(Hell Knights, Imps, Etc.) from the game for sure. Not sure if there are Unreal Tournament style bots though.
As far as I can tell, the only thing that you can turn off is the indicator that they can be killed with that specific melee attack. The kills themselves seem pretty important to the flow of the gameplay.
Game is great so far, but I do get a bit fatigued after playing for a while. Even though the action is top notch, I personally am more of a story person, and the lack of any meaningful story (atleast in my opinion) sometimes detracts from my want to play the game for extremely long periods of time (unlike Uncharted 4 which I did in two sittings). However, as a pick up and play for a bit game, DOOM is unrivaled.

Eh...kind of what I figured. Oh well, it's all about campaign in a Doom game. Might still wait a bit for some website impressions before pulling the trigger though.

When it's done.
Yeah, it can't hurt to wait a bit. I am in love with this game, but I was a die-hard Doom fan back in the day and played through all of them again recently.
----------------------------
I'm of the opinion that if iD had released this as Doom 3 12 years ago, we wouldn't have had to wait 12 years for another Doom. It sits very nicely to the original 2 Doom games. Doom 3 was a great game in it's own way, but it really strayed far away from what made Doom 1/2 so enjoyable.

I can't find secrets in this game to save my life. What the hell. I was looking everywhere while playing!
Look forward to the 2017 compatibility patch thx <3
