Quake has no style. First game was incredible, second game was incredible but nothing like the first, third game was incredible for multiplayer but nothing like the first two, Quake 4 was a successor to Quake 2. I would love a return to the medieval Quake 1. At this point Quake 2/4 and Doom are pretty much the same thing.

The only minor nitpick I have with this game are the respawn loadings. I wish it was instant without the loading and pressing the space key.
You barely get any healt and even less ammo on nightmare, I guess on ultra nightmare you don't get nothing

Yeah it is awesome. That animation when they run and lob fire balls behind them is sooooooo good.
You can find everything your first sweep.
I'm only just getting through on normal, let alone nightmare +

So..
It sounds like this game is worth the 50 euro's? Less emphasis on story but a shitload more on gameplay and redefining the genre.

What you buying it on?
I'm enjoying it, although I'm terrible, not polygon terrible though, it's a really engrossing game and good fun to boot.

They aren't redefining the genre, it's more like a recreation/revival of a sub genre which was presumed dead and outdated. But yes it's worth the money and the game play feels fresh and exciting. But it may not be for everyone. They really need to build a demo for this game. I'm sure it would help to boost sales dramatically (more than any trailer or YT let's play).

If there's enough variation in the encounters and the game gives the same old Doom vibe of having to trace back and forth by looking for keycards, hidden rooms and secrets in order to progress, then that is definitely something I need to have.

You need to have this game then.
One of the best compliments I can give this game is as a fan of Doom for 23 years and beating the first 2 countless times I I started playing this game and it felt like I was playing the original gameplay wise. The speed, and just the overall game is a prettier extension of the original. This is easily up there for GOTY contender for me.
You could add Fury Road to that description.
Many thanks!

Snapmap allows for all kinds of experiences, including coop horde.
Good point!
might have to mess around with it later and see what I can come up with
The physics in this game are really wonky, as evidenced by the constantly glitching ragdolls. When I met a Pinky he charged into a physics-enabled box prop and somehow killed himself.

Will be uploading a clip of some fun if I can get the fucking ps4 capture to share working. Loves! For some reason even if it's done uploading. It's not showing up to where I can show you my shit show!

10 hours... On? Congrats. I'm trying to find all of the secrets my ocd is killing me with doom. But..10 hours. Kick ass man if you nightmared it. Even if you didn't. Applause.
From where is this from?
Plays good
He is a host for dota 2 tournaments.
Unfortunately not, and you can't select a higher difficulty to replay missions on. I'm only able to replay them on the difficulty I selected and below, which takes away pretty much any challenge when going through completed missions. This is the thing I'm probably most disappointed by because the whole time I was playing I was thinking how I'd love to go through these areas again when fully leveled-up and have the enemy type/amount scale for that. I got my hopes up for something that didn't exist... Shame.
Yeah I had the same feeling after finishing since the story
just ends?
Damn DkS3 ruined it for me

The rune trial in stage 5 is terrible. There are not enough enemies to keep the timer high.

For some reason I can't get my clip ti play. I'll work on it. Here is my initial findings of playing this amazing brutal asshole.
These fuckers don't hold your hand and make you feel like you can leap to and frolic about (even though there is so much area and exploration.) You still have to hold your ass no joke. They will eat your existence if you are not aware. It's beautiful. It's amazing that they captured the essence of DOOM and materialized it into now. Where upgrade systems work. The gibs and meaty combat and feel. This already feels like my goty. Easy. It's fucking breautfull! The AI leaps and jumps around you in a way that you have to be pinpoint with. They're dirty and you are there play things. You, however, have the bigger arsenal. Put your mind to ease, learn your surroundings and items/areas of spawning and crank it to nightmare mode. The most instense shit you'll play. You are "the sick marine". But, "the sick marine" who has the kill finishers and wants to chainsaw them all to hell. It challenges you to learn your surroundings. Many shooters in the landscape have a hardtime of showing different ways in which to change the landscape. Enjoy the new instance and learn the new landscape.

Just started the game, runs great but one tech issue - does anyone else not have surround sound working on PC? I swear my rear speakers aren't picking up enemy noises

Wait until you do the last rune.

Sound is one weak aspect of this game's design. Surround channels are not very active, except for the growls of the zombies which are for some reason full volume from all speakers. I'm so tired of WAAAAH RAAAH at this point, it makes me want to find every zombie and smash their skulls in. Which I do.

Double barrel?
Yeah but you need a set route. Straight, then down, then towards the right and up I think.

ha it's the one that made me stop bothering with rune trials. Then I remember seeing one that let you get armour from glory kills and now I wish I took that...

Wow, talk about level design taking a fucking low dip with the Argent Tower Energy bullshit.
Whoever thought it's a great idea to build insanely stupid, long, complicated platforming sections into a first person shooter should get repeatedly punched in the dick until his balls fall off. What a frustrating, crappy level.

Hm, thats a bummer - positional sound could really help out in these fights. Well, I'll just keep at it, certainly not a game breaking issue yet.
Is there a demo out for Doom? I should have plenty of horse power to run the game but i don't want to risk it if it runs like ass just like Wolfenstein new order did, passed the recommended with flying colors yet the game ran sub 30 even on the lowest settings, and i don't want the same to happen with Doom.
