Exclusive preview of Polygon's review:
I am dead now .
PffffahahahahaExclusive preview of Polygon's review:
id had nothing to do with The New Order. Their last game was Rage.
Also, a reminder that this is what Doom 4 looked like at one point
This game is like the Anti-Fuse
this looks like the resistance sequel that nobody wanted
Given how they seemed to have known id's original course was going to be a disaster I guess people there KNOW, just none of them also work in marketing.

But I can carry 40 rockets now lol. It was nice early on until I got ammo upgrades. Now if I want to clear groups, I spam rockets like the good old days.
Ahhhh Bethesda published.
Well regardless. Stil the best single player shooter since TNO

I knew all the scores would be good, of course the guy at Polygon looked like he never played a video game so complained about the controls
But hey at least the game is doing good with reviews.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Yeah, true. And man, the Super Shotgun feels sooooooo good. I feel like I'm punching satan in the face every time I pull the trigger.

Well shit, I should have known that.
It is certainly a vast improvement over Rage. Hopefully we get some consistency now.

Wow, really surprised this game is getting such a good rap. Literally haven't heard a single negative impression in this thread. Gonna have to borrow it from my friend after Uncharted 4.

I kinda actually want Polygon to give this a bad review for the shitstorm that will ensue.

Hurt Me Plenty (normal)
I'm playing on PS4 and while I've read people saying HMP is easy, I think you die way too fast on Ultra-Violence. Obviously getting good mitigates that but stuff gets so chaotic and intense as you progress that I'm still finding HMP to be a good challenge. A couple of sequences I've had to replay several times just to sort of get a grasp on the strategy to manage everything
Early on it's like "oh yeah sure this is easy, just punch everything" and then later you have all the big demons all up in your grill
Ammo management is the biggest challenge early on, gets easier once you get more weapons. Love the balance, you always feel like you're on the verge of running out (and then it's chainsaw time, RIP AND TEAR)

Really? The Fury Road of shooters? Really now?
It fits
Really.
Now watch this game get straight up 7s.
It isn't the fault of reviewers that they made one of the 3 pillars of the game an incredibly dull multiplayer mode.
The Polygon quote is not real.
Im finding uses for the combat shotgun still, currently at lvl 9 playing on ultra violence. The charged burst and explosive shot has uses. In fact, I use all weapons in this game. They all have uses (even the pistol, with some upgrades).
This game man... Goty contender.
Polygon hasn't reviewed the game yet. The picture is quoting Gamespot's review of Alien Resurrection to make fun of that one Polygon preview played by someone who sucked at the game.

Oh it isn't, well still doesn't deny the fact that the guy reviewing it was terrible at the game.
Umm... I think it's pretty spot on.

Its a amazing game. Not really shocking.
I don't think we know for sure that the person playing in the video is the same person reviewing it
I actually think Doom is pretty solid

The guy reviewing it wasn't the same person that footage belongs to
Got anything else?

IGN score of 7.1 is a bad sign that this game is going to get mixed reviews.

Yea I've been using combat shotgun as my standard weapon, only using super when I need to just unload damage on something. Would rather save ammo when possible .

That's not how games work
You put content in the game it's going to be reviewed and rated, as it should be. If it's that bad it never should have gone in to begin with

Completely agree. The "Fury Road of Shooters" is a fitting title.
That's the In Progress score. It's not final.

Yeah and it's based on the single player which everyone agrees is the best part. They completed the campaign
The rest is multi-player and snapmap.
Based on the lame limitations in snapmap and how bad the doom MP beta went I would be surprised if the score doesn't drop a bit
I think that Competitive MP would have been fine had it also gone to roots, ie something like the new Unreal Tournament. Cut the loadout and perk crap.
