Anyone know how to get this little guy

Spoiler

It's right after you reach hell.

Play the level normally. You'll eventually get to a point where you can go get that collectible.

Oh, and that level has at least one other secret that is visible well before you can get to it.

EDIT Just keep an eye on the auto-map as well. Helps finding stuff a lot.

 

[Sub_Level]

Very interested in seeing a speedrun of Level 4. It seemed pretty non-linear, and it also seems like you can make some unintended jumps off of certain geography.

 

[Will the Thrill]

Sooo, is their anyway to make vibration more noticeable? Like I don't even think shooting does any and I have it enabled on PC. I'm pretty sure the beta had more.

I NEEEEEEED Vibration

I remember that one, you should find it if you're searching later on, I think it was one of those times where you are supposed to go left, but you go right instead and it leads back to that spot.

 

[bathsalts]

That arena in the Necropolis level thats a throwback to Doom 2's Dead Simple....

Depends on the controller you are using since they use different motors

The Xbone Elite feels good

I'm using a regular Xbone controller, most games typically have console level vibration (aside from the trigger stuff but i don't care about that) it's such a little thing but it really makes shooting better in my opinion.

 

[Neiteio]

this game actually reminds me a lot of metroid prime

Oh man

Oh MAN

 

[Tomat]

Oh man

Oh MAN

I wouldn't get that hyped up. It is a fantastic game though.

 

[antitrop]

I do think he's gonna love it, though.

 

[KingKong]

This game gets really intense on ultra violent later on. Especially because I keep somehow missing the power up until everything is dead

 

[DSmalls84]

So any weapon and armor upgrades that stand apart from the rest as more useful?

 

[pa22word]

I don't think it's anything like metroid prime other than the platforming, but that has more to do with the fact they had to make the game work with a controller more than anything else.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

I just got through Hell. What did we do to deserve this remarkable game?

I can't wait to replay this to see what it's like with a different kit.

 

[lazygecko]

So any weapon and armor upgrades that stand apart from the rest as more useful?

I found the maxed out explosive charge shotgun to be the most all-around useful. I ended up using it more often than the double-barreled. The fully upgraded explosive shot is super powerful, and during the downtime waiting for a new charge you can just spam regular shots.

 

[Woorloog]

I upgraded Dexterity for armor first. Overall the armor upgrades are kinda meh.

Weapon upgrades depend on your playstyle largely. But some notes:
The Mobile Turret upgrade for Chaingun is far better than the alternative.
Don't waste points upgrading pistol.
Upgraded and Mastered Super Shotgun is great.
If you go for Siege Mode for the Gauss Rifle, upgrade and Master ASAP so that you can move with it.

That actualy a great observation. The more im into it, the more i start really liking it.

Platforming in the Argent Tower did kind of have those vibes.

 

[Mupod]

Welp. Found a game-breaking bug, I can't progress past the

Spoiler

Argent Energy Tower

final section. The screen fades to black and hangs forever. Help?

 

[Bronion]

Is the main menu supposed to have music?

 

[nubbe]

Glory kills are never going to get old
I love this "in your face combat" and it feels a bit like a powerup since you get health and ammo from it, thus rewarding, and it feels good the smash shit

 

[The Flash]

yes

 

[MazeHaze]

The reception to this reminds me of Dying Light. No early review copies so everybody assumed it would be shit, great word of mouth because people were having fun and a bunch of us picked it up day 1 and had a blast. I think holding review copies worked in its favor here, if we would have all seen the 7s and 8s on day 1 a lot of people would have skipped out because it's not a 9 or 10. It's so great to see people just being hyped and having fun.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Really hope someone finds a way to make the guns and explosions have more punch.

 

[Data West]

I will say once you get to a certain point in the game, the first half of your weapon wheel rarely gets used. Between upgrades and runes, I'm having no problem keeping ammo for the higher level guns.

I actually always like when there's games out without reviews. I hate reading impressions that are geared toward responding to critics instead of honest reactions.

Dying Light and Until Dawn are the two games from last year I was most wrong about prior to their release.
My skepticism for Dying Light came from my strong dislike of Dead Island and Until Dawn from my dislike of Quantic Dream games.

So far this year, I've only been wrong about Far Cry Primal.

 

[AEREC]

Glad this game is getting universal user praise...totally did not expect that.

Also it really should have been called Doom 4.

They're great for when you need a quick breather in the midst of the huge fights too.

I know DOOM 2016 and Metroid Prime are very different games, but I get the comparison he was making, and I definitely appreciate that sort of sensibility

Dying Light was incredible. I had absolutely no idea I was going to get it until I saw the Season Pass glitch from GameStop.

 

[Bronion]

yes

Weird. I hear music & menu sounds on the multiplayer and mapmaker menus, but not on the campaign menu.

 

[Fox Mulder]

What a treat this is. Not just the game, but seeing all this happiness in an OT.

Best game and thread in recent memory.

I burned out on the yearly fps stuff, but the modern doom and wolfenstein releases are amazing fun.

 

[Brick]

I don't think I've ever played a game that knows exactly what it is more than this game (if that makes any sense). This is incredible. I grinned like an idiot through that entire introduction sequence.

 

[The Flash]

Here's a YT link for BFG Division. Not as low volume as the SoundCloud link. Uploaded by the same person oddly enough.

ID couldnt afford to fuck around this time. Shit was on the line to actually know what DOOM was and not fuck it up. Glad to see they will probably make another game now.

It's the closest thing we'll ever get to Far Cry Blood Dragon's tutorial in a full $60 AAA game.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Never played a doom game. Looks very... duke nukem. Might get ps4 version.

 

[Adnor]

I can't stop thinking about a new Quake. Just take Doom, add strafing and rocket jumping, more verticality and a gothic and lovecraftian aesthetic. It would be so cool.

 

[blado]

So I installed the new Nvidia drivers and started playing again, and now all of the audio is sped up. It's hilarious. Everyone sounds like chipmunks, and the demons sound like evil kittens.

 

[Jarrod38]

Had fun while it lasted but time to return the game to Redbox tomorrow.

 

[george_us]

Man, Hell is something else, the atmosphere is fantastic. But damn, did the difficulty go up lol. I'm considering taking it down a notch.

Getting my ass beat at the arena encounter containing all of the

Spoiler

Summoners and Hell Knight

on Normal. So good.

 

[antitrop]

Just got to Hell and it's actually starting to give me a little trouble on Ultra-Violence for the first time in the game. Time to take a break, I've been playing like 5 hours straight.

The combat gets a lot more interesting in Hell, though. More open environments and lots of little platforms to encourage you to double jump all over the place. Good stuff.

 

[Brick]

Geez, that's actually a great comparison. It's like if Blood Dragon, instead of laughing at itself, committed hard to taking itself as seriously as possible.

Yeah, Hell is a lot harder but also super fun.

The combat really comes to life in those encounters.

 

[The Flash]

Still don't understand why this wasn't the cover.

This tells you everything you need to know. No BioShock Infinite bullcrap required. At least the alternate cover is good.

 

[Mupod]

I was feeling really challenged until I got stun bombs and rocket detonation shrapnel. Once I get the game to stop crashing we'll see if Hell holds up.

Apparently nvidia drivers are fucking gigantic these days and my tiny ssd needed serious cleaning up just to upgrade them.

edit: that seems to have fixed it.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

oh my god I got the rune that allows you more control while you are in the air and FUUUUCK I'M SO FAST NOW

It was for the ce edition.

My copy is currently installing the update! Can't wait!

...alternate cover?

*checks inside of case*

HOLY SHIT
