Goddamn it!!
The really cool musical score makes up for it in my opinion.
that's for sure. this reminds me of the descent days. i always forget how much "puzzle" there is to a doom/wolfenstein/quake game has. i'm downright fucking clueless as to where the levers are in some doors and how the hell i get to places i see. yep this is doom/id alright.

I'm having a really hard time controlling in this game. My mouse hand keeps throwing up devil horns at my monitor.
there's something weirdly refreshing about not having to click a stick in to run. also, no reload through for a second when i first started and then i thought, oh yeah, doom.
oh and goddanm, when that soundtrack gets going in an arena it gets your juices flowing. i bet if you removed the soundtrack the arenas would seem stale and boring in comparison. i love the stick and move gameplay in the arenas myself.

If you like that noise. I don't.
The gun sounds are acceptable, just don't expect DICE-level brilliance. Watch and listen some Youtube vids with mere gameplay, like that one where Nvidia demos the speed of the game.

Just started. Oh my god this is so good. Why hadn't they showed it like I'm playing now (On PC) So fast, so great. Old habits die hard I keep trying to reload and remember "oh yea doom didn't have reload...hype"
Just jumps you and and away you go. Also great tuning options on the bud. I turned off the compass

Hoard powerups, use the high ground, take the advantage. Rather than just run and gun.
Yep. Keen made DOOM possible.
So metal!
Always move, jump and dodge. Pick up armor, HP and ammo.
Map layout is important to know, power weapon locations, circle the outskirts of the map and don't rush center and so on
Most don't do any of these things and as a result you wreck them.

I also love the first objectives. A total throwback. And no fall damage!. Love it
Holy shit. I didn't think anyone at id these days even remembered Keen.

The first level on
is frustrating as hell when it comes to secrets. I've literally found three of them in the first two areas and can't find how to get to any of them.
....hell...
Continue the map normally. You'll get to the secrets eventually. Took me ages to figure this.
Ehhh it's got the verticality I guess.

It is more like Quake than Doom honestly. All you need to know is that it is pretty damn good.

If I liked the two recent Wolfenstein games, would I like this? btw is this survival horror/jumpscares?
There's only one jumpscare I'm aware of, which they've already shown in pre-release footage (the zombie playing dead). Other than that, Doomguy doesn't give a fuck and it's rip & tear all the way.
So I played the XB1 version for about an hour and really, really liked it. That alone was a huge surprise to me - i didn't have any expectations for this at all. None.
I was really impressed with the XB1 version, too. It looked great and ran with what felt like smooth 60fps (as the DF analysis showed, that's not actually a case, but stutters weren't noticable for me at all).
However I am a huge fan of Painkiller and a big fan of Serious Sam...so I just felt like I owed it to the game to play it with a mouse and keyboard. I play mostly on console these days and have no trouble controlling a shooter with a controller but this game was clearly built with a mouse in mind.
Sooo I just went ahead and bought the PC version, played through the second mission on Ultra-Violence now and oh my god how great is this game. This is the first great shooter of this kind since Painkiller in my book.

well i've been playing for three and i'm still grinning like a loon i'm having so much fun. so nana nana boo boo!
edit: please realize that was said with the kindest fun intentions.
Depends why you like those Wolfensteins. Story-telling? This one has mere excuse plot to shoot demonds.
Gameplay is also a throwback to old shooters, with no reloading or ADS or sprint. Has similar weapon upgrade system as Wolfenstein had though.
Very gory.

I usually don't single out users but....that post from the E3 2015 demo thread sticks out to me. That user... I mean look at that post. What a goddamn idiot that person is. I am ashamed for that poster.
From the Bethsoft E3 thread! Look at the idiot go!
Note to self. Stop judging games from trailers. Like...forever.

I actually remember playing commander keen goodbye galaxy on an old Windows 95 computer back in like 2004, It was a good time.
I was just messing around with ShareFactory and uploaded a small video of some of the unlockable classic Doom levels. It's pretty cool playing them but feels super weird and the pistol takes so many shots.

Like every other game out there. You're still doing the same mechanics you did at the start. Even in Connect Four you're doing the same thing... the entire time.

I'm on it
Think I might end up liking this more than Wolfenstein.
A big part of that is the engine. Earlier idtech were clearly not designed around mouse look at would frequently be full of low res textures popping in way too late. No such problem here.
Only issue I have is that death and damage can really sneak up on you. Enemy attacks lack a certain amount of impact and so it can be hard to notice that you're down to half health in a flash.

Darn it, and I passed by it
Lots of shit on the snap map community page already which is pretty standard with map creation tools on consoles.
I made one though which i think is pretty cool. Love spending hours creating and tweaking maps.
Name: Shotguns? Super!
Mode: DM
Mod: Super shotguns only! And increased damage.
Small map, increased damage and fast respawn. Haven't been able to play it online yet but I think people will like it. Please give it a go with some buds and let me know!

i think you have to have four different weapon types (the chainsaw doesn't count). i have only been playing three and half hours or so and i haven't got four yet. i just got the heavy assault rifle in the second level. the assault rifle is a fucking beast and i love the way it feels and sounds. may actually be my favorite gun so far. anyway, can't wait until i get a pulse rifle. they say there is one in the second level but i'm an idiot and have yet to find a secret in the 2nd level. oh, i've seen them, but can't get to them.
but i digress, back to the original question: it shows you the requirements for enhancements categories so to speak on the level up/upgrade screen it think.
