Anyone else notice that Doom doesn't track your game activity on Steam?
It's a minor problem and hope that ID patches it.

Okay, i was wrong about minigun, it's still seems overpowered in hands of some players, but even with issue multiplayer can be very, very fun. I guess this is depends on matchmaker, sometimes you can find perfectly balanced teams, sometimes you play 6vs4. So, it depends on luck, but mostly multiplayer is really great, i love it. I stop myself from playing singleplayer campaign, because i can see list of achievements, Bethesda still didn't make this game visible in Steam.
I guess you are Paranoid_Android, right?
At least Doomguy isn't ashamed of being a mass-murder death machine. It's refreshing.
Digital Foundry's analysis found that it ran at both a higher resolution (a dynamic one) and a more consistently 60fps framerate.
Yeah, higher resolution, better framerate.

It runs @ a higher res more often, and seemingly runs better in general according to DF.

I just heavily dislike it when studios use names of past games. It makes it annoying when trying to look up information on the older title. If I just type in "DOOM game" on Google, I'm going to get lots of results relating to the recent title. I COULD write "Doom 2016" but then eventually people forget the year it came out, and it's just unnecessary.
The BEST example of a reboot game that didn't interfere with the original is "Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty". It was a clever name that served as a reference to a product within the game, as well as being a double entendre for a new game in the series, but best of all - it doesn't get in the way of the original title "Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee"
I LOVE both Doom games, but it just irritates me. Tomb Raider is another one. When you ask people if they played Tomb Raider, you have to clarify if you mean the 2013 reboot, or the 1996 classic. Even on Steam, the original game is listed as "Tomb Raider (I)" whereas the new one is just "Tomb Raider" It's a minor thing, sure - but a massive pet peeve of mine.
Bah! Rant over. I need to shoot some demons!
Calling it DOOM 4 I think would have been worse for marketing. Less accessibility.
But of course I mean, really good marketing can work with anything.
Side note: Hayden is so great. I wish he would slur his words a little more like he did in the first monitor chat. "To soooolve this little..."

Oh absolutely, no doubt about it. I just wished that within gaming communities and series discussion, people would refer to this as Doom 4.
Though I imagine for many, this is the real Doom 3. Not me though, I LOVED Doom 3.
Let's just settle on MOOD

Just in case anyone was curious regarding my ongoing audio issues (XBO version) with spoken audio not playing through, I tried having the audio play through my TV speakers instead of my sound bar and I still have the same problem. At least I know 100% know that it's an issue with the game and not my speakers. Still, it's a bummer.
I'm wondering if it could be an issue with the disc or whether so much of it is installed onto the hard drive these days that it's more likely an issue with the installation. Vocal audio not playing through is pretty much the only issue I'm having with the game still these many hours in.

Do you think we'll get single player DLC for this game?

Apparently The app still has the section_type = ownersonly flag applied, which limits the public display of community activity.
Considering this game has achievements and Steam cards it's something that a lot of people have noticed even though steam does track it but not on your profile.
With SnapMap being in the game probably not. People will just make their own single player levels.
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK
This is pretty much how I feel every time I'm playing.
I think I suggested earlier that you go into the audio settings of the Xbox One and change the way it outputs. I can't recall if its 7.1 by default, but whatever it is change it. Maybe you've tried it already, but it's apparently a fairly common Xbox One issue due to a recent update.
I had that same problem with Quantum Break. Vocal audio didn't play. The above solution fixed it.

I noticed the monster screams sometimes overwhelm all other sounds for some reason.

Game is incredible. I loved Doom 3 and Rage too but this is easily the best FPS I have played since Quake. Instant classic. I haven't even opened Uncharted 4 yet.
I really hope so. Doom 3 had a sizeable expansion after release. I hope that we get one here as well, but the fact that the season pass is strictly pertaining to MP content isn't promising in that regard.

Shit like this is never gonna not make me shake my head at the shitty marketing. For those of us paying attention we knew it would be great (not good). It's a shame there's was this assumption it wouldn't be good. What game has id made that wasn't good? Rage? Doom 3? Quake 3? Quake 2? Quake? Doom II? Doom?
Anyway you see what I'm getting at. A talented developer that has a stellar release record.

Oh, I guess I missed your post in here. Thanks for the tip, but it was one of the first things I actually did - went through and tried all the different audio configurations. I used one of the automated hologram dudes to test out each setting to see if it fixed things, but none of them did. :\

Damn, this is already out for Redbox. Might have to give it a try after UC4.

Sounds great on my, albeit cheap, surround system and the PS4 Gold headset? Jeeeeeesus! Like if you played the beta then the moment the Bethesda/id logos came up they'd blow your fucking eardrums out and they still didn't fix it. lol
As for the game itself? Yeah it sounds fucking great and loud on the Golds!
Eugh, that sucks.
I'll keep an eye out for any fixes, or others with the same issue. But that is strange.

Dammit. I have too many games to play already. Does this have anything similar to doom 2's double shotty? And do we tend to fight a few strong enemies at a time (aka quake and most modern shooters) or just armies of weak-ish enemies (aka Doom)?

Tactical or Strafe definitely have to be the best controller options for game pad.
It will be a damn shame if we don't. Every other Doom title had an expansion.
The thing is, there's no mention of singleplayer levels in the stinking Season Pass.

Breh you are not going to like this game. It is ok. The world will go on.

Doiiii. I'm an idiot.
So, I went ahead and quit out of not just the game (which i'd done before), but the app in the XBO Guide and then booted it back up. And so far that has fixed the issue. I tried quitting the app earlier, but primarily playing on the PS4 I didn't know how to do it on the console (it wasn't in the 'manage game' option) so just assumed maybe you couldn't.
I wish I'd done this earlier, heh. Either way, thanks for your help and responding to me!
