Good decision. Games is way better than everybody expected. Just finished the 6th level and I'm still enjoying it.
not a single one in 6+ hours

Finally got my GameStop credit partially back and bought this digitally. Started the download and went to the gym. You have me hyped GAF, the same as you did when Wolfenstein came out.
I was feeling some bad motion sickness. I increased fov to 120 and it's ok now.

Alright, I'll try upping it at some point. I do play comfy couch though, so the fish eye becomes really prominent

This game makes my ps4 sound like it's about to explode. Never had a game make the fans run as loud and constant. Kinda worried about playing for very long =/
The campaign is fantastic. Multi is decent and I haven't messed with snapmap.
Since everyone's talking about overall quality, I'm gonna poke my head in. Despite my scorn and skepticism in recent Doom threads, against my better wisdom I bought this one.
Good news, it did turn out good. Best single player FPS since Far Cry 4 for me, except maybe Devil Daggers. Better than Doom 3. Better than Halo 5.
Doom is my favorite game of all time. I don't think this game comes even remotely close to the glory of those classics. We're still talking about Doom 1 now, and I think it'll be talked about in the year 2200. This game? No so much. However, we can finally safely forget about the comparative shit that was Doom 3.
Level design is from standard (read
oor) FPS tier to quite good. It actually goes back and forth a lot. However, they DO have the combat scenarios in like I hoped (with enemy variety driving tactics).
I wish the music was less noise and more Doom (read: old video game music style). I love the first Hell music, and there's some other good songs, but am I going to be humming these songs on my deathbed? No.
Overall, like I said, it's a good game. Even better than I had any hope for. If the shitty recent ROTT had been of this quality, or even the Painkiller games (even the good ones weren't this good), the 'classic' FPS would have been 'back' a while ago.

They did it! This DOOM is awesome. It's what Doom 3 should have been, but even better because no game could hope to look this good in 2004.
Kudos to the devs for taking such care with the source material and for making smart decisions after aborting their original vision for the game.
I'm even loving the multiplayer. This disc is going to be in my X1 for a long time, so I hope lots of people buy it and keep a healthy community up. The game deserves a large audience.
Incidentally, my Best Buy had been raided out of copies for Xbox. I only saw one on the shelf. Hope they didn't just undership for the 'bone.
Spread the word, Doomguys! Tell your friends they NEED this game.
lol
Sorry, man, hope you're feeling better. I admire your Doomguy determination!

In the course of a few days, I moved from "this is going to be the epitaph of one of the most important vide games franchises " to "This is the best FPS of the past ten years and a truly modern take on Doom"
Id still got it and it's a damn miracle.
Fellow GAFers, try the multiplayer, it's awesome too.

Hi everyone, How long and replayable is the campaign? I have zero interest in multiplayer. Thanks.
nothing

you need to complete the level before you can go back and replay it through the mission select feature.

Totally blown away by the campaign! Was not expecting it to feel this good. I can see how some people with pre-conceived notions of what Doom should be, might not like it! But for me - a sleeper hit!
Playing at 1600p with Nightmare settings, is pretty wow. Just such a shame about the multiplayer... maybe SNAP map can save the day??

Right, but if I go to an older level, what happens to my save on the current uncompleted level
While I get what you're saying, I still think Doom 3 is special in its own way. It's a damn good game.
I think this new Doom is better, but Doom 3 is not bad. It's certainly a better single player game than, say, Quake II. I also think it's better than Rage overall.
The multiplayer isn't great. I don't think it's actually bad or anything, but it doesn't really feel all that special. It was also outsourced.
The campaign is what id Software was making and it's insanely good. Best FPS in years.
Bethesda kind of made their own bed with what they wanted to focus on marketing wise here. Now it has to rely on word of mouth to succeed.
I couldn't even enjoy wolfenstein due to extreme motion sickness, which very rarely happens to me as well. Zero problems with doom.

I don't know about that. The two Wolfenstein games are pretty damn good. I also really liked RAGE. Still, it's easily a top 5 FPS during the 21st century.
They did, yeah.
Though, it also seems that id was listening to feedback. Go check out the E3 demo again. I thought it was awesome last year, but the final game is hugely improved. The demo is very slow paced in comparison to the very fast and frantic final game. MP has also improved since the first betas. It's clear that the team was hard at work shaping the game right up until the end.

WOW! This game went from RedBox rental to purchase in an hour.
Most FPS's give me motion sickness so I have't bought one in 10 years but this hasn't effected me at all. Playing on Xbox One BTW. Flat out awesome!

It would be a terrible shame to see such an amazing accomplishment in FPS be dragged down in sales due to absolute incompentence and basically misrepresenting the game before release.
Yep, I'm beating this before Uncharted 4. Gameplay is so good.
I had that problem so bad in wolfenstein that I could not play it longer than 30 minutes at a time.
No problem in doom so far on my PS4. FOV to max, no motion blur

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING DOOM:
I reached ch16 in Unacharted...and it's gonna stay like that for a while probably
Thanks Doom
Actually they are both just DOOM
Ya, looks very doable in a short amount of time.
Glad they don't want me to get to like level 50 in multiplayer or some stupid shit like that.
Yeah that stuff needs to stop. Very few people stick with a game long enough to reach levels like that.

i don't think anyone is confusing them and they are both called doom.... not sure i can back this PSA!
