I spent my time with this last night playing the campaign.... And now I have a serious, serious desire to dive into snapmap! Stuck at work now, and I will be going out to see Captain America afterwards. Ugh, the wait!

I'm dying to know how broad (or not) snapmap is. Everyone wants classic level recreations, I wonder if that's even possible? Only 10 or 11 hours before I can find out. Damnit.

Game is really good. I like all the upgrades and how most of that stuff is linked with all the secrets throughout the levels. Makes exploring really rewarding and fun. Combat is great, weapons are fun to use and the weapons mods are usefull. Great music too.

Yeah, it plays like fucking liquid. It took me a bit to adjust to how fast and fluid it is as well.

Forgive my ignorance... but is the Xbox version the best console wise? I'm picking up a copy soon and not sure which to get PS4 or Bone.

Smoother fps?

In love with this game GAF.

*small story spoilers*

I fuckin love how there are holograms around the UAC facility of what I'm assuming is some sort of faith counselor or something. Asking you if you've been practicing your faith and how he will talk about Hell Energy and shit lol. Cracks me up.

The completely nonchalant way the UAC are obviously shady as fuck is so funny haha

Man I love the Hell music. Dem cymbals.

Also the totally organic way they managed to do those Skull switches from Doom is so good.

Secrets don't save if you haven't hit a checkpoint? Blah. I'm no fan of spaced out checkpoints, but if you keep collectibles/secrets I'm okay with it. Shit, even Dark Souls lets you keep the loot, lol.

Someone just mentioned the
plasma rifle
on level 2. Didn't see that. I'm not finding any of the secrets. If you miss a weapon pick up, do they have mercy on you and introduce it again at some point, or is it lost unless you replay a chapter?

Game is amazing, so fluid and fun. And challenging on Ultra Violence. I have had to replay some scenarios 6-7 times. Still trying to break the cover shooter/ADS mindset.

On the fence? Get it!

It's probably already been mentioned, but did anyone see the awesome alternate art on the flip side of the boring cover? It's amazing!

Cant wait to get home and play this game!

Bought into the hype and bought the PC version this evening, really looking forward to the campaign :-D

Will there be any kind of modding, or just the snap map?

I've got a pretty powerful gaming rig with an i7 4790 and a 970 but picked it up on Xbox instead because friends are playing on it. Runs fine, there are a couple of drops here and there but nothing hugely noticeable (4 or 5 levels in). Looks fantastic and it's so much fun that even if the drops were any more noticeable, I wouldn't give a shit :)

EDIT: Go with your preferred controller, if you have an elite controller for the Xbox then it's an easy decision as jumping and aiming comfortably at the same time is so easy with it!

I couldn't hold myself back, the thought of another great singleplayer FPS like wolfenstien got the best of me and I just had to buy it.

I'm a sucker for great single player old school feeling fps games.

Quote from a loading screen. Watch out there is a DOOM story spoiler below...
(just in case somebody really cares...)

Samuel Hayden, a survivor and Head of the Mars facility has offered you his help, if you need it. You don't. You just need ammo and a way to stop the meltdown before it tears the base apart.

The UAC Edition from Best buy is weird, the season pass comes on the receipt, the pre-order bonus comes in the case and it has both a Steelbook and the regular case. $85 after GCU.

Was correct in my prediction like Wolfenstein awesome game. But feedback noise from guns is shocking shit. Shotgun sounds shit like in Wolfenstein

Other than that its living up to what i expected. N awesome single player shooter and shouldn't of had multiplayer added on

Secrets save, yes. But if the checkpoint is before that point, that's where you respawn if you die.

One gripe so far. Chainsaw sound mix sounds WAY off. It's nowhere near as loud as I would like it to be.
Click to expand...

Yea the sound mix in general is a weakness, its tough to discern enemy types/attacks coming from behind based on sound. The rest of it is so good that it just seems out of place that the audio isn't quite there, like as you mention with the chainsaw, that thing should sound like you're holding a reving motorcycle if front of you not like the muted weed whacker it does sound like.

Just started playing for a bit - my PS4 sounds like a fucking jet engine while ingame. No other game does this and not even Witcher 3 was this bad. This can't be right, can it? Anyone else has this problem?
