Damn, all these great impressions have convinced me to grab it. Had a bunch of in store credit so I figured why not - was already interested in it despite my lackluster experience with the multiplayer beta.
Can't wait to play it when I get home and put my kid down for a nap.

The range for Glory kill is so huge.
I get that Glory kills are optional but the fact that they give additional health and save ammo is kind of problematic here since you can lose health quite quickly. As such you kind of end up relying on Glory kills for escapes because not only does it give you health but also makes you invulnerable.
Otherwise the game is so good, also first thing people should do ins increase the FoV to 100-110 atleast..game feels so slow otherwise in comparison and a bit weird.
MP is trash btw.

Finished the campaign in 10h or so, on normal (or whatever it was called).
Very intensive, overall very good.
The story didn't go as i thought it would. Overall not very good story i guess, in the end, just an excuse to shoot demons, which isn't a bad thing per se in a game like this.
Definitively will play through at least one more time, if only to collect all i'm missing. Most likely a bit more.
Now to try multiplayer and SnapMap.

Mine too. The snap map main menu does it the most. More like a rocket ship!
Yep, happened when I was looking at a wall for a few seconds, game just closed with no warning/error
Im on a 970/4690k for reference.
This game is the shit BTW.

You make it sound like glory kills make it easy. But they stop ur input for few seconds. Thus in arenas etc this can leave u open Getting swarmed whilst animation finishes

This has become my biggest concern as well. If we miss a gun, are we screwed?

No, you will still come across them later. Some you can get earlier by exploring.

I don't think this is necessarily the case. I found a hidden
super shotgun
Nah I don't agree with that at all. Whilst the shotgun could do a bit more oomph it still sounds much better than Wolfensteins wet fart of a double barrel by a looooong way.
I'm talking campaign ofcourse.
Are you sure it isn't installing?
You get required module for that in one map. 3rd or 4th, i think.

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.
Yeah, saw that and said no thanks

Fuck me the Barons of Hell are terrifying
Oh, shit. If I reply an earlier map, do I get to keep the new modules and stuff I find when I continue the story?

This game is so good and I know it's just a minor detail but they absolutely nailed the sound of the doors opening and closing

Honest question: how much of the game is the "you're locked in this smaller arena, kill waves of enemies by moving around until we let you out" arenas connected by thin hallways?
80 - 90%

Ah shit. After all the positive buzz I was hoping that those were just areas being shown off for PR since they contained way more blood and gore, but that actually kinda ruins it for me. I hate that.

it's not always a small area
like this one I just died in at the end of level three, it's a huge room. and the enemies are pretty smart.

That is the game.
It's there but not enough for it to be immediately noticeable because the level design is so well done. The areas in between dont feel like hallways, there's a lot of explore and a lot of stuff to do in between.
I was afraid of this as well, but after playing, it really doesnt feel like that's all there is to it.
It's very Painkiller. As mentioned, the 'arenas' vary in shape and size, but at the end of the day you get locked in a room, shoot everything in the face, move on to the next room and repeat.

Yeah, it's really easy to get lost in these levels.

Pinkies are so cute in this game! 
I really love them!
I really love them! My PS4 sounds like that too, but only in super crowded locations.
that is just wrong. its 2-4 arena fights per level.
Your pc sucks
Some levels have more some less.
I'd say 10%-30%
Don't listen to the 90% guy, talks shit
The double-jump thing is mandatory, you can't go on without it. I may be remembering the map number wrongly. Probably are.
Winky face
The Polygon guy playing Doom is amazing too. Holy shit. The part where throws a punch at the demon, misses and the demon punches him back had me rolling.

Did you stumble upon any Doom porn already? D:
Yeah I don't agree with that breakdown.
I mean, I guess it comes down to what you perceive as "arenas" -- the levels in this game are very large, and interconnected, sometimes wrapping back around to central areas, other times forking off into a secret area that drops you off ahead of where the normal path would take you. It's very often that you'll do something that causes enemies to spawn and you have to fight, but I've never felt like I was ushered into an area where the sole purpose of that area was to be an arena; generally there's blue/yellow doors there, and you'll need to backtrack there at some point. I guess what I'm saying is, it's actually hard to see the "lines" that delineate "fight area" and "progression area." Sometimes it's obvious, but not always.
Then again, it feels like almost every area in each level has some monsters to fight. There's not a lot of breathing room, and it's very, very combat heavy. Plus, the combat is actually kind of awesome, so I guess being locked in the occasional room with a bunch of demons isn't a con for me lol. I'd watch a playthrough of the level "Foundry" -- that gives you a great idea of what to expect from the levels / design of this game.

Yea mine is the same way. I didn't think it could get any louder than Witcher 3 either. It almost made me wish I had gone with the One version until I watched the DF video just now. Is it just me or does the XO version look much softer than the PS4 version? It also drops down to 50 fps and below and drops much more often than PS4. I'll gladly put up with the jet engine to play this game as close to perfectIy (on console) as possible. I wear headphones most of the time anyway.
First thing I did was to set "look smoothing" to "0". I hate that in any game. I'm doing much better without it.
Also deactivate aim assist obviously.
Honestly that comparison is like saying that Dark Souls 3 is 80-90% bosses. There are a lot of bosses, but there's also a meaty portion of stuff to do outside boss fights, so much so that it doesnt just feel like youre going from boss to boss. That's what Dooms arenas are like.
