It unlocks in ~30 minutes. Who's ready to STAND AND FIGHT?

I caved and am downloading now. Will it work on the east coast?

I am, grabed a russian account for 8 bucks from wmcentre, already preload.
not me
I can't pirate it
hardware fits requirements
don't have NVME SSD
Bollocks.
play nu-DOOM
I'M GONNA PARRRYY
What time does it go live in America...specifically central time? anyone know? i assume after midnight?
This
Playing The Precinct instead.
Playing it on Gamepass Thursday morning. Who the fuck is spending extra money to play two days early
paying for early access
COWARDS
I paid mainly because you get future DLC. The early access was just a bonus.
post the giant lizard
this game is hot garbage
bethesda fucked up and forgot to enable early access for people who used a key instead of getting it directly on steam, just like they did with indiana jones :^)
It telling you you NEED an NVME SSD is real fucking weird since they're a fairly cutting edge bit of tech
I'm gonna try it anyway and I guess if it doesn't work I'll just refund it
hour long dragon riding sequences
Dropped
Why is the index constantly fucking frozen lately
So will it get resolved? This is some bs
Yellow paint slop
iirc it took a couple hours last time. they also never fully added all the extra stuff i paid for so watch out for that too lol
oh scratch that last part they just put it in a really retarded place
so people that bought early access are getting fucked over?
I just watched a live stream with the developers and they have " a whole room of people working on it"?
Unfort i had to buy it on xbox since my pc sucks and cant run it. can play until tomorrow though...supposedly.
Got mine through the nvidia bundle and it says 'premium' when I looked at my redeem history
Guess I'll just wait until these dumb fucks fix it.
i bought the premium edition directly from steam
even though i have the files unpacked and steam is telling me i can play it, it gives me a steam api error telling me i need to be using an account with access to the game
How the fuck did reviewers give this pile of garbage 9/10?
DUDE wtf...i fucked up big time. I just bought the standard edition thinking it was coming out tomorrow. But it doesnt come out until thursday for the standard edition!??!?
There's art choices that haven't changed from the first game that still bother me. The whole killing an enemy loot pinata thing, why does the ammo look like holographic Mass Effect artstyle? If the Doomguy is creating ammo out of pure rage or hell power or whatever why doesn't it look infernal? The other huge gripe is the dark/wet/skinless look of every single enemy in the game. They're demons, but there should at least be some color, its a video game.
Sposeda be 11 pm
I'll be ready to stand and fight
Where are all the monkey bars and jump pads?
the retards at bethesda forgot to activate the retail keys so if you got the collectors bundle and entered the code from it, it thinks you have the standard edition lmao.
I keep getting bugsplat error. Game won't launch. I reinstalled drivers, restarted PC, restarted Steam, verified files.
Come on, man.
they wont' release an upgrade until after release. From what I'm seeing in community tab. Just refund the standard and buy the deluxe edition if you want to play the game a little bit earlier than usual.
denuvo
forced raytracing
no thanks lul. enjoy your stuttery slideshow.
It's out now if you buy premium edition.
Wtf I'm still at work for almost another hour and I want to rip and tear
$99.99 well spent
lol dude....monkey bars and trampolines....i never looked it that way
what a mess. How in the fuck can a company with so much money and resources fuck up this bad.
my thoughts are they actually dont care. It might be a inside thing that it drums up contra and talk about the game. what a fucking joke
bot//shill thread.
Many, many people are reporting the game crashes on startup right now, so you couldn't even play.
I can't hit the play button which I'm hearing is not an uncommon problem atm. I also saw people saying indiana jones had a similar issue with not releasing right on time either. any idea how long it took indy to unlock properly?
.......holy fucking shit......thats crazy.
not expecting launch issues
sasuga anonkun
good paypig
lol
i bought the premium edition
got the files preloaded
got the files unpacked
steam telling me i can play the game
but when i launch it stops me with a steam api error saying i need to have steam running and/or using an account with access to the game
$100 well spent
how will this be handled?
some sort of comp? or just fuck you and deal with it.....that doesnt seem right
I will say though. I remember shit like this happening with WoW. I wouldnt play for a week or two after expansion just to avoid this shit. but still....i would be pissed.
The music isn't very good.
Why would anyone spend $100? You realize you can get it from GMG for $82 and you don't have to pay tax so you save another $8-10
as much as were all complaining about the outtages... these people dont give a fuck. They know in a week or so this mistake will get swept under the rug and were going to play it.
just doesnt seem right. Anyway so the standard edtion wont be available to play until thursday??
wtf is going on with the lore at this point, why are there knights and shit now
Poorfag cope.
i dunno, they'll probably just rush to make it work and hope everyone will be happy enough to play that they'll forget about the whole thing
either way i'm getting mad that every time i try running the game and get the error it counts as playtime, so according to steam i've been playing for 3 minutes despite never actually starting the game
if you have the money it doesnt really matter.
for poor fucks like me it matters a lot. they just dont give a fuck.
marvel writers got a new gig
It's fucking terrible. There's nothing even remotely on same level as The Only Thing They Fear Is You
youtu.be
No Mick no buy, simple as.
isekai game
Ew.
Throwing away $30 for no reason is retarded you can buy a whole 2nd game
oof....i cant remember after play time you can refund. just do it then purchase again this weekend...if you want?
if youre rich i dont think 30 dollars is going to matter fuck all to you
It looks like someone on the dev team showed everyone else the doom GMoTA wad and told them to use that as a reference but nobody actually played it.
why did you trip my wife Nick?
The real cost is your dignity.
youtube.com
Guys, I wish the mech was fun to play.
When does the game pass version unlock? Friday?
The whole killing an enemy loot pinata thing, why does the ammo look like holographic Mass Effect artstyle
Because you're wearing a helmet with Augmented Reality HUD?
tfw you forgot there's an early access
already resubbed to gamepass
I could just buy and refund and play it now but eh
FUCK OFF YOU TOOL!
I refuse to play George Floyd simulator
This game is going to make people appreciate Eternal much more.
The soundtrack fucking blows. It barely has any feeling to it. It's far more atmospheric and reserved. Mick's stuff would feel punchy and evil, it got you in the fucking zone. Actual slop.
you dropped it because you were too poor to afford it brokie
I knew it, always trust your gut feeeling, looks like everyone playing it are bored af
This. It comes across like some fan's shitty homage to Mick.
Yeah which in return will make people appreciate 2016 even more more. Because it's the least slop
You fucking morons are spending $100 to play early?
devs never should have listened to shitters complaining eternal was too fast
Yes, 2 days early access for the big dick crew.
Eternal is better than 2016 though.
In fact, every other doom game is better than 2016.
even shill man lives said its boring, and he thought starfield is best game ever made so it dosnt take much to get him entertained
i just dont understand why the didnt do more with the mech and dragon other than on rail dodge simulator, why even add it?
Is it true that this game has forced ray tracing? Like, you can't turn it off?
Yes, welcome to the future.
It looks like fucking DOOM Eternal graphics but your performance will be cut in half for no reason at all.
gmanlives
You could have mentioned literally anyone else to support your argument but you chose the worst
think you can turn off rt reflections, but not rt gi
Now I'm stuck WAITing for the game to come out for the standard enjoyers. Have fun beta testing it for us!
I was more disgusted that there's a chick on communications doing the "I'll mark this on your minimap!" bit. Terrible stuff.
God bless india
The point of ray tracing was just to cut dev time so yes
why? that guy shills everything, if he says dark ages boring as fuck then it makes you think
other reviewers are all over the place, mostly shitting on bad music, awful mech and dragon sections and repetitive combat
Not me, as I'm sure it's going to require additional launcher and account crap. I don't buy those games.
I'm not sure if this game even looks better than eternal.
The Mick Gordon dickriding is the worst part of Doom’s fanbase. Who gives a fuck, just turn off the music entirely and play some actual good death metal instead of the generic djent chugga chugga trash
i just dont get it
why make it a melee punching sim
just such a bizarre decision, i have no idea whats going on at ID
Did you notice how they put yellow paint on all the climbable walls this time?
Looks like coom to me
Why would I trust someone who has bad opinions anyway?
bought premium edition directly from steam
downloaded the game
upgraded my drivers
run game from steam
met with a "steam api: steam needs to be running" error
?!?!?!?!?!
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING
Fuck yeah, they listened to DSP
textures are great and the new gi is great too, but somehow the art style looks more boring, i blame the level design
every part looks like an empty open arena with no hero pieces to grab your eye
I'll excuse it this time because that objective marker is even worse
I really don't get it. The game feels like shit. It's all shield spam and the melee moves have ZERO impact. They could've learned from Vermintide/Darktide but instead went with possibly the most unsatisfying first person melee combat in a DOOM game. What a disappointment.
too many people installing at once?
I believe this is during a segment where the maykers have Doomguy under their control with brainwashing shit. So they force him to do objectives.
They do give you a gun, but it's the exact same as the punching. Dodge to empower your gun, like how you dodge to empower your melee. Just like the dragon where you dodge to empower your gun. All those segments are so bland that they detract from the overall game.
All it takes is a couple of retards in critical positions to fuck everything up, a tale as old as time
Vermintide
takes too much skill
but yeah, best first person melee by 10 miles, but 50% of that is audio design, you can play with eyes closed with how you can hear enemy weapon movement
I just don't know why they do the slow down when some of the criticisms of glory kills were that it slowed down the game.
UH UH JUST UH PLAY YOUR OWN MUSIC
Fuck off Marty. When I got a Doom game I also got a Mick soundtrack. I will not be purchasing your new and lesser slop
I will
not
Play Troom: the Cringe ages
Who's ready to STAND AND FIGHT?
this is such a blatant marketing phrase lmao
That's definitely what it is. There are a lot of really bland, open, flat areas.
This actually makes me angry thinking about mow much money went into workshopping, designing and developing the mecha. The industry deserves to burn.
games is hella epic
STAND
not on VR
What did they mean by this?
Dis game do be bussin' frfr ong
Twitch is actually unusable with the ads. There were less ads on TV. I just need to find a YouTuber streaming it I guess.
can't believe we're at the point where doom is now goypass filler. I'll play this later this week but I expect it to be a one and done. also is there really just a generic women blathering in your ear the whole time?
why does the imp have the arch vile death sound am i crazy
STAND AND FIGHT (in bland, flat open areas that make you circle strafe around like it's Serious Sam)
moonmoon has no ads
this music is the definition of soulless
sounds like they fed mick's OSTs into an AI song maker
i'm unironically getting the itch to play some Serious Sam and Vermintide after watching this nu Doom on twitch
I'm guessing ID jewed out on getting the best music artists after dumping Mick and settled for some indie memers that have only done indie game OSTs and such
At least in 2016 and Eternal, it felt like you were on your own killing everything you see. At most, you had an AI GPS telling you where to go. It seems like in this game, there are going to be a bunch of women and old men shouting orders in your ear and telling you what to do. Gay.
Why does the strafe feel like shit
STAND and FIGHT!!!
So I don't give a single solitary fuck about this game. HOWEVER, I am curious. Do you guys think TDA will have its own diehard fanbase that splinters off just like what happened with 2016fags and Eternalfags? Or will those two finally kiss and make up to unite against the parryslop menace?
Eternal is the reason this new game even exists.
Why didn't they just find a random virtuoso like the Clair Obscur guys somehow locating an insane talent? If these companies have to cheap out, can't they at least curate the talented guys from the bad ones?
2016fags and Eternalfags
Probably not, to each their own, but not once have I ever been able to say I prefer 2016 over Eternal without some asswipe getting angry with me, or arguing with me for 2 hours.
As a 2016 contrarian, I am kinda interested on the sole basis that it's apparently "quite different from Eternal", at least according to the normgroid streamers I am watching currently.
diehard fanbase
It doesn't feel like there is one outside of Anon Babble autism, everyone knows the lore doesn't matter by now so they just see armoured man shoot demon and clap.
And there is no defeating the parryslop menace with Nightreign imminent.
not only is the original reveal trailer song the best and most doom sounding track in the game, the part of the song they showed was the best part of the song itself
the chorus of meathook alone has more quality than the entire TDA OST what a disappointment
this game was made to be a product whereas e33 was made out of passion
which is weird because 2016 and eternal did not feel like a product
I have a theory id wanted to make a quake reboot but ms/bethesda didnt allow them
Story is MCU as fuck, but I'm fine with it
Story is MCU as fuck
I am fine with it as well, if only on the basis that I do like my mutiversal slop, or at least the multidimensional conflict aspect and travel to different worlds.
THREE HOURS IN AND THEY JUST DISCOVERED HOW TO SET THE RIGHT FLAG
or two hours or whatever. anyway restart steam
Dark Ages is definitely the black sheep of the trilogy, people will either prefer it over the others or just continue debating between 2016 and Eternal
Emphasis on STAND
STAND STILL AND FIGHT
story
DOOM
ew
I'm watching some streamerfag play it and it definitely looks like an attempt at cashing in on soulslike parry/dodge timing gameplay but in first person
i'm watching pat play it. i won't be playing until it drops in price
Oh no, Chud is online
This whole pay for early access doesn't make sense. People are just going to watch streamers and see that the game is ass and not buy it.
He's already raging out. He's softer than pudding pie
Regular edition: you get the game
Premium edition: you get the game + the DLCs when they're done + some crappy skins + 2 days early access
Early access is NOT the main reason to pay $30 more. It's the DLCs.
Miss me yet?
they forgot to link the preorder skin to the retail sub too, that's still not fixed
No, but they weren't really that bad either.
I still don't enjoy playing red light, green light even if there are quickswapping strategies to clear them easily.
Looks sort of like Gears of War in the menu
The OST feels like it's made for the enemies instead of made for the doom guy
I liked eternal but I don't even feel remotely excited for this one
playing 2 days early is behind a paywall
Is this really how scammy AAA has gotten?
So many people paid $100 for the retard privilege. I'll happily play other games for 2 days brother.
Denuvo does fuck with performance though.
This guy separated the wheat from the chaff. He showed everyone that they were FPS shitters
No ammo: The game, why did they make a shitty survival horror game? Did they forget it was meant to be an action game?
No ammo: The game
just chainsaw dudes
Ik Anon Babble is gonna be dooming about this one, but I'm actually excited to play this. I'm glad you can tweak the sliders to make your own fun
so far its slop and worse than 16/eternal
very 2-dimentional, mech is yawn
localized damage is the only great feature... so far
Have you considered using more than one weapon?
No fuel: The game
Ive gotten in multiple situations where Im out of ammo for all gund, never has this problem with 2016, the balance in this is shit
The whole reinvention of the gameplay is interesting if it was some other game but it ain't doom
why do people get so elitist about this? it's not hard just an annoyance
Fuel regenerates. Literally a skill issue.
I don't like Eternal, but the design is that to incentivize you to use more than one weapon, and to cycle through your arsenal.
this game is for babies
quake reboot
Dodged a bullet if true, I don't trust reboots at this point.
MCU as fuck
It even has a strong independent witch who fares better against Doomguy than the useless demon prince, kek.
Miss ME yet?
there is nothing quake here but yeah, its feels like a cinematic blockbuster made for common audience more than fps and completely flat arenas just scream "we've made this for consoletards who cant into vertical play"
there is nothing quake here
Medieval weaponry with guns (shields, flails), castles, and multidimensional travel, as well as Lovecraftian mythos is pretty Quake-esque desu.
*Lovecraft mythos.
lol, lmao even
I could buy 5 other games instead.
What are those, rupels or something
AUD
This should've just been a Hexen reboot
So youre not killing demons but trannies?
dude what? What happened to the guys that did the eternal DLCs?
would you like it if it was
i payed 70 because i have a Ukrainian acc, skill issue.
John Carmack would facepalm at the state of idtech these days, they really hired unreal chimpanzees to work on it.
The glowing highlights are augmented reality. You know demons are real because DE and TDA have third person cutscenes, where you clearly see demons from other people's perspective.
Is it actually hard though? I don't trust these guys after TAG2 completely capitulated to normies and was easy as fuck
ready to SHILL and ASTROTURF
having a blast t b h
No, but I wouldn't dislike it as much
no, its the easiest Doom ever unless you go out of your way to customize the settings
this game is for the masses
When I first heard the game's title I thought they were doing a fully medieval themed Doom game more in line with Hexen/Heretic instead of whatever hybrid this is where it just looks like the other nu-Doom games
Post the video, the daughter is hot.
bros the pace of combat is back you don't have to wait for an animation anymore!!!
the game enters slow motion half the time you melee someone
Lmao
I need to see the dev team photo. I suspect they added more women to the team.
PUMP UP THOSE SLIDERS LAAAAATTTTSSS GOOOOOOO
why is it so fucking slow?
even the normiest of reviewers are saying nightmare is a cakewalk even speeding it up 110% on top...
Contoddlers think its too fast
The projectiles are slower than OG Nightmare even with the sliders all the way up.. Fuck this
Replaced by discord battlemode players who were caught cheating and actively projected their elitism onto everyone.
WHY THE FUCK DOESNT THIS GARBAGE GAME FORCE ME INTO A CUTSCENE EVERY TIME I DO A MELEE KILL???? TRASH GAME
this game doesn't actually require a NVME ssd, does it? that's completely retarded
I’M HECKUN READY TO RIP AND TEAR! I’M NOT TRAPPED IN HERE WITH YOU, YOU’RE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME!!!
MODS WILL FIX IT
STAND AND FIGHT DOOM SLAYER
the ending didn't even explain why he was in the coffin......
Dues ex human revolution did the same thing, it made stealth a fucking chore.
We have to ship you back to the fight... Don't worry, I'll get you the gear and training, how about that? Want to be a proper patriot?
Looks like native 1080p would destroy my 6600
I'm wondering how many frames id get 1080p, fsr3 balanced
I just watched all of the cutscenes on youtube. Man, what an absolute cringe fest.
doom is about slaying demons you povo fuckwit
imagine trying to seek validation for being poor and watchin the story in a doom game
The soundtrack is utter dogshit, like the most generic safe metal crap you can ever use, the game may be the worst of the three as well with the bing bing wahoo guitar hero aah sections, the dragon parts are insufferable and retarded/pointless.
Stinks of Hugo Fartin pushing garbage for no reason.
could it be because that hasnt happened yet? idiot.
graphics presets
low
medium
high
ultra
nightmare
ultra nightmare
ultra deluxe nightmare XXXL
What the fuck does this even mean? So ultra isn’t really ultra?
For comparison MiSide is $20.
Is it true that Denuvo destroys your SSD?
Then why cram in a story? If you put shit into a game, expect people to complain about the shit.
How many GBs is the game?
Go back to Eternal lil bro, plenty of blinking enemies for you to get cutscene kills on
I'm so glad they got rid of the strobing and the blinking enemies.
be a retard and buy retarded stupid shit
Nah I'm good haha
I was going to skip them all anyways
I have no interest in any game's story, they're all subpar
Gentlemen...STAND AND FIGHT
I have to go to bed soon so I can wake up early for work. I probably won't even play this game since I already have a huge backlog
SIT AND PROTEST
So the shitposters were right about Doom The Woke Ages
Oooof
Ancient Gods soundtrack was already a noticeable downgrade, even though the rest was amazing. It's all generic without Mick.
doom 2016 was good
so... already at mixed reviews?
I won't even mind the stupid and boring parts if it wasn't for the fact that the game is not about guns anymore but just the cringe melee and parries. Doesn't even feel like Doom anymore.
Have fun getting ad breaks unless you have a proxy.
It means those other siettings are highrer than ultra
~40 fps native, ~55-60 upscaled
dunno about radeons but even 3070 really chokes on cutscenes for some reason
why did you delete?
or is bethesda dishing out DMCA takedowns again?
I'm glad doombro killed cthulu so easily as a big fuck you to that racist pos lovecraft.
So ultra isn’t really ultra?
Looks better then Eternal
necro Doomguy looks pretty cool tho
forgot to spoiler the image
I had a bad feeling about this shit as soon as it was revealed. I knew it would be trash
Based
Hell is an inclusive space
YEah ultra is ultra, but the othres are more than ultra
goes from one of the best performing engines in the industry to one of the worst
How'd that happen in 5 years?
blast havers, ww@!?
Ultra is the highest setting in every other game though, like the absolute best a game can look. So if ultra isn’t the best the game can look it means it’s a fake ultra
Let me know if there's any Quake or Doom 3 connections in any of the codex entries.
Most games only go up to ultra, this one goes above ultra
denevo and forced RT
ez
No it doesn't lol
Doom Eternal is the superior game. They leaned way too heavily into the shield and the game doesn't look good enough to constitute such a performance loss.
first person games are not memorable
The point of ultra is that there is nothing above it, it’s the max graphical fidelity you can get from an in-game menu
It's even more shit than I expected.
Not really. Everything's gray, brown, and hazy.
criticism: eternal overly relies on weakpoints
id response: remove weakpoints
ok
Pajeets.
performance loss
Holy shit you niggers need to upgrade I’m sick of hearing the endless whining about this shit. Works on my fucking machine at 100+FPS
Nu-Doom is just Quake for console kids who became PC gamers
But this one goes higher than ultra so its even better than anything else
I mean, this game seems really good for the super casual players and those who have arthritis.
Good take.
These
it's crashing for streamers too
I don't even have to imagine the suffering i get to watch
when will pcfags learn
I'd understand you if were talking about a setting that says Max, which some games do. But Ultra is just Ultra.
Boring.
I know doom eternal wasn't perfect but was someone else dissapointed they took the game in a completely different direction?
and in Doom: The Dark Ages, you're gonna STAND in one place and press the parry button when enemy make green
What did they mean by this?
A middle ground between 2016 and eternal would have been cool. Faster and more technical than 2016 but not quite as autistic or ammo starved as eternal. Shame they didn't go that route
im a vpn citizen not a real one, fuck them guys.
I'm just baffled, they seem to be fucking retarded or something. What a shame.
Why would I miss you? They just made a whole game out of the red-light-green-light mechanic.
Witcher 2 > 1 > 3
Mass Effect 2 > 1 > 3
Doom 2 > 1 > 3
You will submit to the rule of the 2 > 1 > 3.
The game had to be rebranded from some other IP, it's the only excuse which makes sense to me
make a near perfect gameplay loop in eternal that could have been fixed with minor changes
throw that all away and make slow parry slop
So... is it any good? It looks way slower than Eternal from what I've seen, and I'm not a huge fan of that. I don't care for the parry focus, either.
Yeah, I reinstalled 2016 and Eternal and the game looks basically the same, except it runs much worse and crashes a ton.
based. I'll let you live this time.
The Marauder and his green light mechanic is what paved the way for the Dark Lord in TAG2 and eventually Dark Ages. He was the beginning of the end.
You can make it faster, but you can't make it not focused on parry.
based metal gear solid chad
why everything is parry based these days?
The shield smashing is satisfying as fuck. Whats the problem with parrying? Too HARD for you??
It gets boring when every enemy does it.
buy an FPS game
shield-charging a mob is more effective than shooting it and blows up all the mobs around it because reasons or something.
idk, man... I would just play an ARPG if I wanted that experience.
babified parryslop qte instead of fps
Eternal had better visual clarity.
I want to shoot big guns at demons not parry shit.
Filtered
yeah but FUCKING NIGGERS whined eternally about "muh colors in muh Doom" even though Classics had plenty of color
but it's extremely easy
oh yeah clarity is shit in some levels, typical case of effects overload getting in the way of gameplay
they even have option to make enemies highlighted but then it looks atrocious and kills any immersion
Please tell me the "glory kill" slowdown can be turned off
It wasnt MUH COLORS it was more about how Eternal went overboard with insanely gamey UI and world design where all immersion kinda gets lost. 2016 did a good job integrating weapons and pick ups into the environment and world itself where Eternal feels like an arcade game. Once again though the devs misunderstood critique and did the wrong thing.
Eternal pissed me off due to how blurry it was compared to 2016
Music stopped playing for me on the second level, feels weird.
They leaned way too heavily into the shield
Not just for the player too, every major enemy in this game except for the Titans, Cthulhu and the witch is a fucking shieldnigger
Does this game still lock you into boring arenas over and over and spawn the same enemies over and over like Eternal? Or is this one actually fun?
Ultimate Doom (Thy Flesh Consumes) is way better than Doom 2. Hell, Knee Deep in the Dead is better than the entirety of Doom 2.
but muh super shotgun
but muh enemies
Doom 2 sucks dick except for a small handful of levels. Plutonia should have been Doom 2.
nigga thats dooms gameplay loop since first game only doom 3 doesnt play like that the fuck you expect
damn AUTISTS complained tha lack of purple/cyan/orange in modern games
The irony of shifting things up for more player choice is that they made it impossible for the player to choose to play the game like Eternal lmao
What causes a game to get this retarded?
Overcorrection?
Why does this look like a Switch game in both graphics and gameplay
Eternal feels like an arcade game
The arcade approach wouldn't be so bad if the presentation was actually consistent with itself. There are parts of Eternal's presentation that goes all in on being "gamey" alongside parts that are still attempting to be "immersive" like in 2016, the final result coming off as this weird mish-mash that makes it feel like the devs weren't fully confident with either angle.
And then you look at some of Eternal's early previews and realize that they were initially using the same approach 2016 had before deciding to switch gears at some point in development and ruin an already good thing, the style change to the hud being the easiest example.
the original games weren't designed like painkiller you dumb ape
Bros imagine if Doomguy and Zelensky teamed up in Ukraine. Would Putin survive?
This is so much worse than eternal. It’s just fucking boring. I really hope that fat faggot Hugo moves on from Doom already.
No it's not? What are you even talking about? The original DOOM doesn't lock you into an arena at all. You can run around all the enemies and head straight to the level exit if you want
stop paying extra for mega good goy editions for things you don't want or care about so you can play early for a game that's already finished and ready to ship that the devs held back arbitrarily to farm free cash out of thin air from low impulse control monkeys.
This is the horse armour slippery slope all over again and everyone is letting it happen again.
Bro chill, I'm just watching this shit on youtube.
cheating developer
QRD?
but not once have I ever been able to say I prefer 2016 over Eternal without some asswipe getting angry with me
eternal is still better you dumb shitter :^)
No raise the prices higher keep the poorfags out.
lol
doom the reddit ages
go on without me bros
it's easier to use shitty ray tracing than proper baked lighting
We really are living in the end times.
eternal is still better you dumb shitter :^)
That's entirely an opinion.
Synth said it's GOTY
Unironically, unironically
definitely a shit game then
watching this retard
lmao
Still superior to the Ballista.
2016 fags are the reason we got this slop
Was the dildo pic really him?
I don't have FOMO so I'll buy it in 2 years when it's on sale for 15 bucks like I did the other 2 games.
2016 fags are the reason we got this slop
I have no clue what the game is actually like and my only experience of it currently is just normgroid streamers and Eternal fanboys who I don't agree with on anything.
Plutonia also sucks dick.
No. I killed every single one of you niggers by shooting shotgun grenades behind you while you cowered behind your faggy little shields.
IM SORRY FOR DOUBTING
I recently replayed Eternal and this track playing as you cruise through the cultist base gave the level that punchy factor
youtube.com
This game looks like it was made for the modern audience.
Just like 2016 and DE.
I've played about a third of it. It's not as spastic as Eternal; I would say it's taken a few notes from Shadow Warrior 3 which was basically a sped up Eternal. It's much more generous with ammunition dropping regularly and you're not as tied down into fighting enemies in specific ways the way Eternal wanted you to do it, the weaponry you're given early on, the shield(and being able to throw the shield), the plasma gun(or accelerator as they want to call it) etc. gives you a lot of broad applicability to the various enemies, letting you take on much denser enemy groups, especially as you obtain upgrades for your weapons and equipment. The shield bash you start out with will have you flying across arenas. That keeps the pace of battle a lot more interesting than Eternal's "fuck you play it my way" gameplay. Even parrying is just a convenient and efficient tool in your pocket.
tldr it's not as manic as Eternal but it doesn't punish you for not playing the way it wants you to play like Eternal does so in general it's faster.
I would say the biggest change is the emphasis on setpieces. They've been jacking off the mecha in advertising but there's other stuff, the first level literally ends with a stationary turret section to take down a giant demon. It's still all about Doom Slayer jackoffery, or as the kids say, aura farming. I'm probably going to start skipping cutscenes because this is stupid and boring.
Look, it's not classic Doom. Nothing has been in the vein of classic proper Doom since Doom 64. The maps are still as generally linear as 16, with very rudimentary attempts at building full structures that loop into themselves, but if this what they want modern Doom to be then it's at least an across-the-board improvement on Eternal, and stays more mechanically involved to not just be off-brand Serious Sam mindlessly blasting hordes.
It's like people forgot Microsoft bought Bethesda
And le kino ebin Slayer moments in this game? Eternal was full of em
I'll miss you, Anon Babble
Zoom Eternal is objectively worse than 2016. Leaned full into the cringe doom slayer shit
Eternal ran even on a Switch. A fucking Switch. What happened to Id being optimization experts?
predict how long till it's 50% off
What is Anon Babble ideal first person shooter game? since it is guaranteed that Anon Babble will hate the new DOOM game.
apologize to brutal doom now
Wow! This game sucks ass!
unc aint the target audience this is hype if you arent jaded af
I give it a year. Eternal went on a deep sale way quicker than I expected
Thank you for the more fair than it probably deserves review.
You are at least 30, we can see through your act
Game is awful. Melee focus will never be good in any FPS. Timing le parries and perfect dodges is a geriatric activity catering to the lowest common denominator.
Fan this game is just... boring.
Glad I was able to refund.
so now that the cum has dried is it fun?
projection kek
This game is trash, which is sad.
You forgot to mention the music is awful.
How is this one even more divisive than Eternal?
What's the difference between 2016 and eternal? I've only played the original dooms, these newer ones always seemed corny to me and i hate that terrible djent style music
What are you talking about? There's plenty of times in the first doom where you have to kill all the enemies before you can proceed. For example all those rooms with those bloody nutsacks you crush to begin the challenge.
Music is generic as fuck.
What is Anon Babble ideal first person shooter game?
Quake
because eternal was divisive because niggas were getting filtered, this one seems like the quality is inconsistent
Doom: The Dark Ages... of the franchise LOL
This looks like it would be fun in VR but it's WAAAAAY too slow for KBM or Gamepad.
Aliens,Star wars,Terminator
CAN I JUMP?
It didn't when it released. Doom 2 did suck when it released. Whole damn game was Inferno-tier.
So did they make a prequel because they didn't know where to go after Eternal's DLC ending?
it has denuvo so ill just replay doom eternal again. go on without me bros i hope the retards leak the denuvoless version again.
poorfag lol
Yes. But not twice, at least far as I've played so far.
Can I bunny hop?
I'll be honest I was never really a fan of Doom 16 or Eternal's music either so I'm not really registering Doom Dark's music at all. If you ask me, Mick Gordon's best work on a shooter was on Wolfenstein's OSTs.
I think the major issues are
1. Worse OST of the trilogy
2. Vehicle/mech segments
3. Weakest level design
I think the combat styles for all 3 games will come down to subjective taste
I got ads while watching him.
Does it have a horde mode? I heard something about a horde mode.
Been playing the stripped down GOG version of Doom2016 and for some reason it doesn't have tearing issues like I have in the steam version.
Expedition 33 wins yet again
oof
only a retard consoomer would be playing it now.
the game comes out on the 15th.
If you ask me, Mick Gordon's best work on a shooter was on Wolfenstein's OSTs.
nta, but I'll agree with this
I also liked his work on Prey 2017

I wasn't even comparing it to mick's work, I was comparing it to the original doom. I can remember that. I won't remember a note of this ost and really i'm gonna forget what I did play of this game.
Something about it bores me.
Alt right hate campaign
Why does this game feel like it's only been in development for a year?
Anon Babble is alt right?
Gp version lauchs early?
so whos this girl from the gameplay trailer?
The open world looks crazy, there's enemies everywhere and they're all different kinds. It's like a warzone.
It has crashes
so, you already play it?
DONT CARE
IM STILL STANDING AND FIGHTING
God I wish she'd rim me <3
drummer?
Watched some streams.
Despite on how much is going on, the game looks slow. How is that possible?
its made for MCU and Halo audience
How many times has it crashed for you?
She pegs the slayah. Fully animated and explicit.
slows down for parryslop
Who's going to buy the game for me? I'm a poor thirdie.
just came out
only premium sloppers have it
I can't say I gave it a good try but I don't think so. The game has sprinting too which would make it more annoying to pull off.
Watched some streams.
fucking pathetic, play the game yourself you neckbeard
only the biggest paypigs paid to play it 2 days early. watching streams at this point is perfectly reasonable
It doesnt, you need pickups
I do but I still end up with 0 ammo, 2016 is much better, I hope Dark Ages doesnt have this problem but the 15-20 hour campaign sounds like shit
SHART and FART
you have to move the speed slider to 120%+
I'm glad they managed to include a strong womyn in this game.
We must be better men...STAND AND FIGHT
I can't say I gave it a good try but I don't think so.
Gay
The game has sprinting too which would make it more annoying to pull off.
Can doom guy shoot while sprinting? Also why would doom need sprinting? I thought the point was that you were always moving at top speed without it?
Four times in as many hours for the person I'm watching, apparently
Lovecraft had a change of heart later in life.
Game is so slow he's playing it in 150% speed already
His bwc got conquered by jew pussy (not joking)
I miss snap map.
Damn. Hopefully they patch that shit.
doom posters
What a disgusting whiny thread
A lot of crashes do this
It's so unbelievably over for Doom
STOP DOOMPOSTING
YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED THE GAME YET
The colorful orbs and shit doesn't feel like Doom at all
the guy who started with Overwatch is still popular
Glad for him,
STAND
STAND
Should've just called it Quake.
That's actually the most doomlike thing about this game.
I will now buy your game.
I was never really a fan of Doom 16 or Eternal's music either
Mick Gordon's best work on a shooter was on Wolfenstein's OSTs
then you're just a contrarian, because his style is still very much the same there
Game is unbearably slow at 100%. The executions are so lame.
You can, but you can only sprint forward so I'm not entirely sure why they said the game is about strafing projectiles now. And the cherry on top is that projectiles have a slight homing to them that's so far messed with my ability to properly assess if I'm out of danger or not. I haven't found a very obvious one I can clip yet, but see if you can see it in this one. It's absolutely a parry game and not a strafing game.
how
Did this guy already finish the game? Why does he know where to go?
Did this guy already finish the game? Why does he know where to go?
He was playing the one life mode and failed a few levels in. So he decided to go down a difficulty to get to know the game better.
futa cock
you need to watch actual gaymers
I guess theyre almost like imp fireballs, if not a bit gayer.
Is it fun?
he died trying to do an ultra nightmare run so now he's doing nightmare with 150% speed and 500% increased enemy damage
What? TDA doubled down on all the shit people dislike din Eternal. More story, more formulaic combat, more dark souls shit
Actually, no. It's very obvious in this one.
I think he has to redo the level from the beginning every time he dies.
Kek. Is that in-game sign?
girl
That brow ridge says male, fren
So this is the limit of the game with sliders?
wait for a week for normal reviews.
Won't the parry system make all of the gameplay feel very similar no matter who is playing or what the enemy is? At least in Eternal you can use different weapon types to target weak points
I’m so fucking happy that eternalfaggots are getting what they deserve. I just preordered because it makes them mad.
Ew
I’m so fucking happy that eternalfaggots are getting what they deserve. I just preordered because it makes them mad.
I mean go for it, the game is boring as fuck.
It's insane how much better this game looks at 200% speed
yes
People expressed being sick and tired of forced glory kills for every critter
Remove glory kills
WTF!? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Why are you like this?
I wish the speed increase didn't make the voices and shit so goofy. Hopefully someone makes a mod that tweaks it so you can just run through the game normally with increased speed.
-ING
ON THE EDGE
eternal looks like a masterpiece compared to this
What's the difference between 2016 and eternal? I've only played the original dooms, these newer ones always seemed corny to me and i hate that terrible djent style music
BASED
I'm pretty sure that when people asked for glory kills to be removed, they didn't also ask for an obnoxious slowdown effect on executions/parries
fuck off, Hugo.
Denuvo malware crap.
People hated glory kills because it greatly slowed down the pacing, so instead fo glory kills they just make the literalyl game go into slow motion every 10 seconds which is even worse.
the game is just like eternal except every enemy is marauder. also i liked eternal and i'm still playing this when it gets cracked
Game's fun. Music and story are ass though. For all the bitching about parrying and melee stuff you barely need to use it.
does increasing the projectile speed make them home more? I'm hopihn I can mess with the difficulty settings to make it less slow and less parry based.
plays on 150% speed
what you going to do about it
Game is only out for early access fags, and these people can't be trusted with their opinions
faggot lol
Eternal restricted the players ammo to force them into using a bunch of extra mechanics like a built in flamethrower, grenades, and chainsaw on cooldowns. It also added a bunch of dogshit platforming. That siad, the actual bombat arenas and enemy variety were fantastic compared to 2016. Eternal is more gamey with higher highs and lower lows. I just hated how much it pressures the player into using certain weapons agianst certain enemies.
If you think that's even close to the same thing as the game locking you into a boring arena every 10 minutes I don't know what to say. It's maybe like 5% of DOOM compared to 80% of Doom Eternal
eternal compared to 2016 has
more locked arenas sections
forced chainsaw finishers to replenish ammo
punishes you for not switching weapons like a spastic
gimmick encounters like the marauder
more visual cancer
more story cringe
overall faster
NEW
No idea. I'm just going to play on Nightmare and don't plan on touching the custom difficulty settings.
the people playing now are the adults who have disposable income and don't care if a game they want to play costs 80 or 120 bucks, they probably have the more reasonable takes.
I'm wathicn synthcuck play it on nightmare and it looks painfully slow and easy. He only dies when he tries to dodge attacks rather than parry everything.
You can, but you can only sprint forward so I'm not entirely sure why they said the game is about strafing projectiles now.
Which increased percentage in player speed would you say equal to the default sprint forward speed? Also
but you can only sprint forward
gay
It's absolutely a parry game and not a strafing game
I get that the devs are really excited about parry system but seems a bit pushy.
Can I do melee moves/custom glory kills when in the air/while jumping? I wanna jump kick or jump mace a demon.
you and every other brazilian
2016 is mostly only the weapon swapping autism and glory killing though of course you can not do those if you really want to but for glory killing it's a pretty willful ignorance to not use it. Eternal is those plus you have a palpably low ammo carry amount and need to regularly use a chainsaw to top up every so often, while having several more cooldown abilities as well. The meat hook also makes the game a lot more about staying in the air since it's the safest place to be.
Just get one month of goypass
I just use the infinite ammo cheat.
Can't be bothered to experiment with the player speed, sorry. Starting a melee move in the air or from behind doesn't change anything.
Oh wait. Scratch that. I just performed the usual locked in glory kill jumping at a hell knight from the front.
So I can kick demons while in the air. Dope. I can re-live my necrovision days. An anon from a different thread said there was some type of ground slam ability/move. How does that work?
5
FUCKING
HOURS
LATER
I STILL CAN'T PLAY
Refund it then buy the standard edition in a couple of days
I cannot wait to bing bing wahoo demons, my fellow redditor!
How's the difficulty for you guys ?
I'm playing on nightmare and fights are either extremely easy or very hard, kinda sucks there's no i-frames on the punch animation.
I'm also hating how enemy projectiles deal a shitload of damage and some demons have a lot of HP so many fights become stale, though maybe that's a me problem, since I always hated bullet sponge enemies like Cyberdemon
Also the soundtrack sucks, holy shit
No, I mean it straight up does the old glory kill animation where you lock into a sync animation with the guy, you plant both feet on the guys chest and then you stomp the thing's brains out. Haven't seen a drop kick yet. I'd make a webm but the thread's about to die.
You slam onto the ground and do a shockwave around you if you fall from a certain height. Not sure if that's what the anon was referring to. I'm not that far in yet.
I love all eras of Doom but I'm probably not gonna pay $70 when they dropped any form of multiplayer from this one (i.e. it has less replayability after you complete campaign). Not like I couldn't afford it and I'm gonna get graduation money soon, but it's just hard to justify this purchase at launch for me.

That's still cool, but I am now confused.
You slam onto the ground and do a shockwave around you if you fall from a certain height.
That seems very situational. Is there any way for the shield bash to get you up to a flying enemy s you can preform this slam?
I just want snap map back
You can shield dash to any enemy from anywhere so maybe when the game introduces some flying enemies I can do that and I can fall down to deal some damage.
