Alright treasure hunters.
How do I get this door open?

behind some barrels in the area just before that is a yellow lever you pull

 

[jonno394]

Amazon Prime Now just cancelled my order, without giving me a reason, fuming now!

Will have to pick up tonight/tomorrow morning instead now.

 

[Zeliard]

Does the MP (on PC at least) have any promise at all or is it already dead in the water? Heard almost universally negative things about the beta.

 

[sueil]

Is this like wolfenstein with all the annoying talking of is it a straightforward shooter? On the fence of buying this but I fear it might be to heavy on the story side for me. I'm not the person who cares about talking in video games.

It's like 95% exploring the map / combat.

 

[Collateral22]

Bit the bullet and bought this. Now a 3 hour download and whatever unpacking time before jumping in

 

[Fahzgoolin]

with a gtx 960 i never drop below 60fps on medium/high.

looks incredible

 

[Tomeru]

A lot slower than that, with lots of modern stuff like loadouts, perks etc.

Slower than the sp? What the hell?! I need to hop in and check it out myself. I refuse to believe.

Guess that's a sale then. Thanks.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

if anyone is interested game uk are selling t shirts and stuff aswell for launch(just went to my local one and got some steam vouchers )

they havent been avaliable online in a while (especially in uk anyway.

Fuck Game. You can buy these online in many places and I'd rather not give that shitshow of a company another penny for their cost+110%

I'm willing to give it another shot, but it felt slower than your usual MP arena title. I'd like to try and see if they balanced anything, but I keep getting that Waiting For More Players shit that the beta had.

 

[ZehDon]

Ok, jumped in. Hopefully the single player is as good as everyone seems to be saying!

On a related note: 45gb download from a retail disc. Whoever thought that was a good idea shouldn't be allowed to have ideas any more.

 

[User 479360]

Nightmare is the only way to go. At least for me, for now...

I don't know if I'm that much of a masochist. I have a time limit on beating the game.

Yeah, no chances to play this by tonight with my connection

Barely any talking. Mostly at the beginning of the level and at the end.

You mean a 45gb install, right?

I wish it was smaller, myself, because even though I started the download about 2 hours ago, it's only at 10% or so.

you're probably palying on ultra violence

nightmare is not available from start and if you die once the campaign is over

 

[Mdk7]

Hopefully it'll finish downloading in time for me to check it out later this afternoon or evening. I'm so damned excited.

Fun, single player first-person shooters have always been my favourite, and I spent hours with DOOM as a kid.

Question: How are you guys finding the difficulty? Should I start on hard if I tend to play most shooters on hard? Also, can you change it at any time?

Do yourself a favor and start with Ultra Violence: even that won't be that incredibly challenging, but it will be perfect for a first playthrough.

 

[daedalius]

Played for like 3 hours straight, I absolutely love the campaign so far. It is just so fun to play, running around blasting demons again.

id really knocked this out of the park, holy shit, I am literally flabbergasted at how awesome it is.

On a performance note, haven't seen like any frame dips on xbone yet.

First the floor of the room falls out, so then you jump up the floating container. When the lasers turn on I jump to the wall outcroppings on the side to avoid them, but then I'm stuck. No idea what to do next.

Nightmare is there, that is the step above nightmare (that's, as you say, unlocked from the start).
But Nightmare is available, for sure.

 

[Lumine]

I was this close to pulling the trigger. I'm really in the mood for a new FPS (Wolfenstein surprised me positively) but I'm currently really low on funds. Close to being broke. The positive impressions in this thread convinced me to just go for it anyway. Until I saw the $40 season pass. What the hell? Any idea what that is supposed to even contain? Maybe I should just wait for the Christmas sale or something after all.

Prepare for the fun.

I'm definitely playing on Nightmare.
It was in red letters when I started the campaign but I could select it. I died a lot and could resume my checkpoints.
There was another difficulty setting below it which was locked for me.

Just bought it due to your guys positive comments. Hope it's good.

From what i've seen is MP only stuff, new maps, demons etc.

If it's a cheaper alternative go for it

really? is this and old screenshot then?

I am not sure, It hought I picked the hardest settings but I thought my savegame said ultra violence

 

[Truant]

How's the story and lore? I know it's not the focus, but there aren't that many games with satanic themes, and I love that stuff.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Okay this is seriously ridiculous. I can't get into one multiplayer match at all. Glad I only paid half price for this.

 

[Shifty]

This download is enormous. I've had my rig on all night and am still only halfway through it.

Really looking forward to this though. Difficulty-wise, if I can handle original Doom on Ultra Violence, am I good to go here too?

 

[dark10x]

There's so little talking in this game that it almost feels strange. But I like it.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

It's oddly compelling. I look forward to each story bit. it's good fun.

I think the season pass is all multiplayer stuff, which means no stress for solo play, but some pretty segregated online (assuming this doesn't set the world on fire and Overwatch lands a powerful blow).

 

[psychotron]

I'll probably pick this up, but the arena thing does have me a bit put off. It made Wofenstein: Old Blood much less enjoyable than the base game. So conflicted.

 

[Tomeru]

On Ps4 it has nightmare and ultra nightmare, I think. Both are locked from the start.

God Daaaaaamn!!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

How's the story and lore? I know it's not the focus, but there aren't that many games with satanic themes, and I love that stuff.

DOOM has always been a pop rendition of Hell. Lots of pentagrams and blood and meat everywhere but that's mostly it.

The story of DOOM, should you care enough to stop mass-murdering demons long enough to read it, is contained in the codex. You pick them up and can read them at your leisure.

Lore spoiler:

Spoiler

It seems this game occurs in the same timeline as OG DOOM 1/2, your perpetually angry Doomguy was forcefully put into cryo-sleep against his will after saving the world in DOOM 2 and kept around in case UAC needed to break the glass because of an emergency. This implies that DOOM 3, which retells the story of the original DOOM, is an alternate timeline. Anyways that's why the game starts with you suddenly waking up after having been encased in a coffin and your environment suit has been kept in that weird ritual altar. The cult members seem to have been worshiping you like a demi-god or something LOL.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

i was the same way until I bought it.

there is plenty of combat in between, some surprises too.

i actually look forward to the "arena" sections now. they are mad intense.

If you're downloading a released game, there's no unpacking. Unpacking preloaded games occurs because the files are encrypted.

Okay. I likely will.

5 hours in, just got to Hell. Blown away by how much fun i'm having with it.

Funny how the #1 most-played thing in SnapMap is Deathmatch. Hahaha. I actually really dug the Beta. Gonna hop on some MP tomorrow & see how it is now.

[Mdk7]

It's rich in text and surprisingly enjoyable (of course for what it is, it's not the next The Last of Us of course, but thankfully it's not even trying to be that!).
Plus, as I said other times, it does remind me of Dead Space, in terms of themes and tone. Which is a plus in my book.

Nice. Are there any tracks officially released yet?

I haven't read the entire thread but it seems the impressions are overall positive so far? I love Doom but wasn't sure about this one.
