DOOM |OT| Rip and tear, until it's done

I was having a great time with the game right up until the Saving Throw rune trial. Second time through, I almost managed to complete it with seconds left, only to find the gun was dry. Haven't even come close since.

Fuck the Saving Throw rune trial in its fucking face. Infuriating shit.

What the hell are the green and red blocks under your weapon at the bottom right of the screen? Nearly finished with the game and I still have no idea.

This really should have been the multiplayer mode from the start.

Like, who in their right minds decided to ship a DOOM game without a deathmatch mode?!

Bethesda, apparently.

That's what happens when you have a different team handling the MP. And now that id are in charge of it it's probably too late since it appears to be all but dead.

I hope Deathmatch brings people back because it looks like it could be a lot of fun.

EDIT: I also have the theory that they believed people playing deathmatch in Doom would affect Quake Champions' sales somehow.

reinstalled this. stopped playing a while back because it would constantly crash. seems to be OK now. story wise i've just defeated that boss at the end of lazarus labs.
 
Man, It is HARD, but I am enjoying. I am now on level 10. playing on normal mode, I was tempter several times to go to easy mode after being screwed, but I will finish this fucking game on normal difficulty.

So if I want to play through this on higher difficulties do I have to start a new file/ I don't want to have to earn all the weapon upgrades and crap again, but I don't like having to individually select each level when replaying them post-game.

This is exactly what I was going to ask. Does it technically count as a new game just starting the first mission with a hard difficulty?

And I'm guessing the trophies that require you to get all power ups in one run require starting a new file?

1. Nope, if you wanna start a new game you have to pick a new savefile too.

2. You need to get everything in one save for the trophy, and you can replay every mission as many times as you need for it.

Damn. I still can get the collectibles trophies on the same file right?

But other than that I should pretty much start a new file for each difficulty? Even if I run through each level on ultra violence it won't unlock nightmare?
 
Is there a reward for completing Nightmare? (I don't want to know what it is if there is one).

I noticed there's no trophy so i thought there might be something else.

Edit : Just cleared it on Ultra Violence. Great credits.
Fantastic game, it's rare I want to start a game again as soon as the credits finish rolling.

I just played a few hours of multiplayer tonight. It's good fun. Feels like a bite sized Halo or something. Definitely can understand the disappointment though.

It's gonna suck because I don't see that season pass sticking. I'm not finding that many players even now.
 
Wow, wow. I just realized during the last boss that I could use the BFG gun, I thought it was a one time thing when you first get it, all this time I couldve been using this powerful gun, terrible, finished up and loved it but feel like I missed out tiny bit not using BFG.

i love using that. has come in really helpful during the boss fights.

Borrowed this from a friend today. Lots of fun. But Jesus there is some serious screen tearing on the ps4 version. I declined to download the 18GB updates(wtf) , so I'm hoping that's where the fix is if I choose to download it.

As you suspected, the Day 1 update completely removes the screen tearing.

18 gigs? Think it was 4 or 5 when it came out but there has been lots of updates since.

It does run like a dream with the update though.

just done the VEGA mission. one last level left i think.

i've quite enjoyed it so far. sometimes it can be insanely fun and satisfying but it can also get a bit repetitive and boring which sucks for a game that lasts less than 10 hours.

I tried to play the demo of this and had fun... for five minutes. Then I started to sweat and feel nauseous. I play with my PC hooked into my TV so I'm guessing the FoV wasn't low enough.

Unfortunately, the FoV slider in Settings doesn't go below 90 - still too high.
Can anyone confirm if the console games will work to lower the FoV to something like 70? I've seen many threads online of people using the console commands to raise the FoV, but not lower it. It didn't work in the demo, but I can't tell if this was due to console commands being disabled for the demo version or not.

Deathmatch and Private Matches are coming this week. Arcade Mode is coming in a month or so.

There are also two other types of Deathmatch modes that will be released later. No details on those.

Here's the recorded stream:

https://www.twitch.tv/xbox/v/89168987

They show off Deathmatch and Private Matches for the first 33 minutes and then they show Arcade Mode, which looks pretty damn fun.

What's arcade mode about?

Skip to the 33-minute mark of the stream if you want to see it for yourself, but it basically allows you to play each Campaign level without any of the cut-scenes and your goal is to achieve a high score by doing things like:


  • Kill enemies as fast as possible without taking damage to increase your multiplier
  • Complete the level as fast as possible
  • Find and destroy multiplier bombs in the level
  • Find extra life Doomguy items in the environment
  • Use glory kills

And of course there's a lot of new visuals and sounds going off constantly to give you that "casino experience".

Just watched the video, looks like fun! It made me think I should better complete the game with all runes before trying this, though, as this mode kind of spoils that feeling of having every rune unlocked for you out of the gate.

I downloaded the Steam demo in order to take some screenshots. What I have in mind requires some console commands, but I don't seem able to enable the console. Is this not possible in the demo?

I have tried various combinations of Ctrl+Alt+Tilde and those keys individually as well. Nothing works.

Deathmatch is fun as hell. Loadouts are whatever, but it's pure DOOM fun. Played about two and a half hours of it today and had a blast. A crying shame it's probably too late to save the MP though.

The sheer idiocy of releasing a DOOM game without deathmatch should be enough to get the dumbass producer who made the call a trip out the door with the locks turned.

This game feels so good on a gamepad. I'm in the early stages of the game, but they really nailed gamepad controls.

I saw many posts saying that it should be played on mouse and keyboard only, but I have to disagree after trying it.

It's one of the best feeling FPSes on a controller.

Speed and acceleration are so much better than most other games.

Doom MP really rubs me the wrong way, from the speed, to the weapon damage and then just random shit. It's just.... argh.

If I could uninstall the MP side so it isn't there taunting me, pretending to be an arena shooter, I'd do it in a heartbeat, but I want that SP.

Maybe with DOOM II...

I like that he actually edited the song so that it works better as a standalone song than as a random videogame track.

And yeah, we're obviously getting the full OST since it says it's track 2. Can't wait.

I was playing on my cousins ps4 and he has no internet (just moved) on ultraviolence and man this game is so great, but playing I unpatched the screen tearing is kind of ridiculous and also noticed some frame drops as well.
Also some of the check points are too far apart it makes you require too much back tracking IMO.
Fake really might be goty

I like metal... I like shooting demons ( or anything that moves )... I like shooting demons or anything that moves while listening to metal... Am I gonna like this game ?

Read so many positive comments about this game and having finally completed Witcher 3 I find myself in need of a new single player game as most of my games tend to be MMO's or other online games. Sweet Zombie Jesus at 54gb download though!
