Minimap upgrades and check the map at the beginning of the fight. Shows all the power ups and big armor pickups.I also hate spotting the special power ups and all after I cleared the area lol

Good lord the Pinkies are tough bastards in this game. What used to be like the third weakest Demon in Doom 1 and 2 is now worse then Cacodemons. Although maybe its because I'm screwing up this Rich get Richer Rune challenge and the rocket launcher is pretty shit for their football tacle

Finished it. I really liked it, it's a good game - but I'm a little surprised by the giddiness surrounding it. It's not that good in my opinion.
A nice throwback, but the boss fights sucked, and
. Fantastic combat, though, and some really nicely designed encounters.
EDIT: The lack of New Game + is a HUGE oversight.

I love how the story of the game is essentially "AN ANCIENT GOOD AWAKENS"
Doomguy is going to save the world by killing Hell. again.

The rail gun (or whatever its called in this game) eats them for lunch, especially the charged attack. Once you see them just line up your shot with them and it's a OHKO long before they reach you.

Do the higher difficulty levels have any differences in enemy count, types or placement?

I wonder if this does well if Bethesda will go for a quake reboot next..
Make it more Lovecraft and medieval like quake 1 to differentiate it from doom. Could be awesome.

I think that was a design decision, like each new playthrough you start fresh like in Doom 1 and 2. You can go back to the old levels with your stuff at least
It would be nice to have a NG+ option though
For me, this was down to an input error that caused a key to get "sticky." Just hit the key/move the stick in the direction the map is facing to re-establish a de-press. Fixed it for me.
I think nightmare and ultra nightmare do, but the base three difficulties are all just statistical variances of the same thing.

That's fair, I can understand it. I would have really liked to play back through on a harder difficulty with all of my gear intact, though.

Just fought and beat (late game boss)

Took me a few tries but I finally made it.
That rush! I really love the game up until now, very very nice single player, which is enhanced by the awesome soundtrack <3

Right, but can you go back, collect stuff you missed, exit, and then have it apply to where you were in the campaign?
If so my mistake. I just loaded up a previously level and saw I had to do the encounters again and assumed new collectibles wouldn't carry over. edit: Just tried it, you can totally collect stuff and exit right after you get it and it saves. Awesome.

Cool. I love when games make changes like that for some replayability

Yeah, can't change difficulty though as far as I can tell.
Just beat the game... God damn.
This campaign has so much heart man. Id did a wonderful job. The combat was amazing and
Doomguy is the best protagonist in any first person shooter ever created.
The ending was such a tease. Give me that sword key thing for more melee kills

Holy shit, switch-canceling gun combos are insane in this game.
Ex:
Gauss Cannon Primary -> Combat Shotgun Primary -> Combat Shotgun Charge Burst -> Super Shotgun Primary -> Super Shotgun Primary -> Repeat
You can put out damage more or less constantly by switching weapons regularly, it's nuts. I just ruined the guardian bosses with it.
Switching to ESDF and mapping my weapons to QWRTAGCV\ was a good call.

Whelp, just went through Argent Tower for a second time to get all the stuff I missed and when the mission ended I just got a black screen... Fucking why.
Edit: I guess it saved everything before the game crashed, thankfully.

Via Settings->Game but you're limited to basic difficulties only.

That is interesting to hear about the multiplayer, as I mentioned I really didn't like it, but I have seen only positive things about the single player, thanks for the insight.
It looked very nice and was very smooth in the multiplayer BETA but I just didn't like the gameplay feel of the multiplayer, and the quote above others seem to have an issue also (maybe not the same as mine though, but none the less, people are not enjoying it), twelve hours is not too bad for me, thanks.
This makes me with the console versions weren't limited to two weapon swaps + weapon wheel.
Shifty
Member
Yeah, I feel like the consoles have no chance in that regard. I guess you could technically do it since the weapon wheel slows down time, but it'd be cumbersome as hell.
They should have mapped it to the d-pad. Shell weapons, bullet weapons, plasma weapons and misc weapons on each of the 4 directions, boom.

That seems to be assume that a game needs to be 1) challenging 2) about skill/player agency/mechanics 3) deep/complex interactive to be good, engaging, or enjoyable
A game completely focused on story can be equally as good as a completely gameplay-focused Doom
One doesn't override the other
True,should check the map more often and find that auto map...
Second to last mission, VEGA Processing Center has Variety is Spice of Death III challenge, which is for Imps. And bugged as hell.
That Possessed one was far earlier and it worked just fine.
I could be making this up. It could have been a bug but towards the end, I picked up a Berserk powerup and basically mashed m1 when surrounded by demons without even looking as you want to do when you're berserk. And I swear, I went through a portal, came out the other side and killed a demon on the other end. Like I animated from one click through the portal to the demon on the other side of the zone to rip his fucking head off
I also had the glory kill range rune on

That works, thanks.
The game probably simply activated the kill immediately after TPing rather than activating through it.
Alternatively you pulled something through the TP, though i doubt that's possible.

I love how he's actually easier when you get into his face, melting him with super shotgun.

I haven't finished the game yet, but I do have a few questions. I missed some secrets and a armor upgrade. If I start a new game do I keep all my upgrades and all my levels on power-ups? Or is it just replay chapters only? If its this, do upgrade progression reset?
Thanks!
Thanks!

It's chapter replay, but you keep all your upgrades.
Also, this game was a hell of a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I did have to turn off motion blur though, so I wouldn't puke.

Having soooo much fun with this game. I am someone who has not been a fan of FPS's for a long time now, as I found the ones released in recent years weren't fun.
It's funny that the FPS that has revitalised the fun factor for me in a FPS, is the one which just stuck to the old school FPS formula.
The gunplay is fast, intense and so much fun! Looking for secrets is incredibly addictive!
Awesome game!!

Wow I just realized if you set the music to play at x1.25 speed on youtube they actually sound even better.

Get to the Hell level then decide if Ultra Violence is right for you.
That's when there's a pretty significant difficulty spike.
Kind of wish it wasn't just constantly fighting enemies in closed-off areas.
Tempted to go for another run soon though! But on a higher difficulty this time. Still so many Doomguy figurines to collect as well!
Love this one so much.

This absolutely. I just jumped into the MP for the first time, and while competent, it's no Quake 3 Arena.
It's a shame, could have been an incredible package if they'd done that.
Holy shit thats great. Mick Gordon confirmed for metal god.

Can you pound those Mick Gordon beats at all times during story mode or does the music come intermittently?

My surround setup is loving DOOM, even its selection screen is really making the subwoofer and the rest sing. Finished the UAC level, I thought I had explored it but I was way way off. Almost half of the level untouched... Can hardly believe there is so much more , it did not feel like I was trying to rush through it, but there are spits I could have used a double jump.
The gameplay... full of so many nice little moments. The way the DOOM marine just lifts himself up if you are jumping facing an object within your reach feels so satisfying. I thought the glory kills would make it a lot less enjoyable, but I am finding them useful to save up on ammo and health packs and to dispatch the enemies faster. In a way it feels like the way I was using the melee attack in Halo CE... avoid attacks, charge while shooting, and melee attack. The better I am getting, with practice, at it the more I am enjoying it like I was enjoying the older games and seeing its way to expand upon that.

Thankfully all that is needed for that to happen is a new mode playlist to be added. It could be done fairly easily in Snap-Map, but that would be limited to four players.
