I had no issues before the latest drivers on my 980ti. Amazing how these things can differ for people.
They are in the begining. You are forced to clip them on your boots to to a double jump.

Ironically, the PS4 version is providing the most consistent performance across the board.
A benefit of dedicated hardware. I will no doubt buy the PC version at some point, I have a 980ti as well.

I know this is going to sound blasphemous at this point, but...
Anyone else REALLY dislike how doom guy moves?
Like, 80 percent of the analog range is barely used and then youre just full on running. It feels like shit
Literally EVERYTHING else is indeed, utterly amazing...

The first 10 minutes of the game made me happier than the first 10 hours of UC4, which I had to take a break from because it's so dull.
When the character on the computer starts spouting off exposition and in real life I started rolling my eyes and twitching, my FUCKING CHARACTER GETS ANGRY AND THROWS THE MONITOR. He channeled me. He is me.
The character in Doom is the only character I've ever felt a connection with in an FPS, because he's channeling what I feel when I play the game. He has no patience for bullshit, he just wants to kill. That's what I'm there for, that's what he's there for, it's a more immersive experience than UC4 without a single fifteen minute cutscene.
I don't want to say that all story focused games are bad, just that UC4 has been particularly trying in its dullness and Doom 4 proved to be an excellent cure to my UC4 woes

I've found the best way to deal with the shield enemies is the Stun Bomb on the Plasma Rifle.

Hey guys, I've asked a couple times and got no response and I haven't been able to find anything online. So here goes:
Has anyone playing it on Xbox One had any issues with certain audio channels not coming through? Specifically dialogue? It came through just fine for the first hour and half of play, but then started not playing through my speakers. My speakers work fine for every other game/program/console, so I'm 99% sure it's Doom-specific. Am I the only one having issues like this?
edit: my roommate is currently trying the game out on a new save and the voices are coming through like normal - just like what I experienced during my initial 1.5 hours or so of play time.

I use my chainsaw exclusively on them. Feels good.
Okay, so in the very first level when you put the suit on? I cant do it, what are the controls? I feel like an idiot. :/

I think it's the chainsaw fuel but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
I totally agree, except then Doomguy ruins it by punching the weapon upgrade robots, what a dick ):
Aint got time for purchase.

He isn't running it's more like gliding through the levels at 100 km/h. But to be honest I love the speed in this game and I wouldn't want it any other way.

No sir. You aren't using optical are you? No shit about 6 months ago I had an optical cable get pinched and holy shit I have never ran into the issues I did then. it was some of the oddest crap I have ever had to debug. Just a though.
But with your edit it may just be a corrupted save and a game bug
I think he means in the beginning of the level you are talking about.

Speed isn't the problem, it's that they didn't use enough range of movement in the analog.
You're either walking sloooow or running. They could have done a better job of adding a more gradual acceleration.

I think I am using optical, actually. I remembered getting the same issues with Sunset Overdrive (specifically voice audio not coming through midway through my playthrough) and I was able to find someone who said they had the same issue and post what settings they used to fix it. And it worked for me. But even with these same settings I'm now having the same issue with Doom.
And I don't think it's a corrupted save bug. The vocal audio that's coming through now on my roommate's play through is the same vocal audio that came through on mine. But about an hour and a half in, it stopped working as reliably for no known reason.
After he stops playing I'll double check my speaker's settings and stuff I guess. :\
Ah..

Ah now I get what you mean. I'm playing this with KB/M so I didn't even notice. And I understand your point but I think their decision to not support different movement speeds is correct. They're forcing you to play the game at a certain pace and moving at full speed, while killing is often the only option to survive (at least on higher difficulties). Giving the player an option to move at lower speed would hinder game play.
Last three sentences. Still make me giggle.
(doom 4 'story' spoiler alert... I mean seriously do we really have to tag for story spoilers in a doom game?)

Beat the campaign. IN LOVE.
Tried some multiplayer. Is this the same game? Gross.

That wouldn't have helped much in this case: the MP stuff seems to be only ~4GB all up. There's no escaping id Tech and its characteristically large free space requirements.

I love how the dude says "I did this to benefit humanity" and DooM Guy just looks at the dead corpse in the elevator and then proceeds to punch the elevator controls in frustration.

If he truly is
the Doom Guy from 1/2, no wonder he's pissed.

Basically the only story I need for this game is -
Doom Guy is BACK. And he is FUCKING PISSED.

No, the chain saw has it's own fuel?! right? The red bars might indicate the alternate fire for the selected weapon. I don't know...

Well, I just stopped playing for the night. It took all day to download, but DOOM has been worth it so far.
It's fun, cool and retro. I like it. Maybe not as much as some of you guys, so far, but I like it. It's really solid.
I'm 3 missions into the campaign. I started on ultra violence, but then decided that worrying about finding health and hiding isn't fun in a game like this, so I switched to normal. Whatever that's called.
I could have probably beaten it on UV, but oh well. Maybe I'll do a second playthrough.
I played some multiplayer at the tail end of my session and it's nothing special but still pretty fun. Feels like an old Unreal Tournament game in a way. I got some nice kills with the sticky grenade (love that) and the monster transformation (love that, too, but only when I have it.)

depending on how much you scavenge and your difficulty choice, it can range between 8 and 15 hours. 8 is rushing it imo.

How many stages are there, anyways?
I fell into the lava a few times in the Foundry and it pissed me off. The platforming isn't ideal in that level.

I had this issue with Quantum Break, and I needed to go into the Xbox One console and change something there. I can't recall if I changed from 7.1 or to it, but go into those settings and change it from what it currently is.

Seriously. I've been stuck downloading the patch all day. This is really upsetting. I have no idea what is going because this never happened with any other big game I downloaded from psn.

I've played the series before this on both and yup, definitely checks out.
By the time you build a new PC the Steam sale will have knocked this down to quarter it's original price anyway.

I want this game but I cannot justify spending more than $40 on the game when I only want to play the SP. I really really disliked the MP beta. I'm so torn because all the twitch streams and word of mouth is making me want it more and more

Played through Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4, Ratchet and Doom. So many fucking great games. But Doom has won me over. So far this is the best new game I have played this year.
