Doom Hype Thread

92% positive reviews on steam so far.

ADS isn't a bad thing. It's just overused in so many FPS games.

Battlefield wouldn't be the same without iron sights.

I dont care about online shooters. i dont mind ironsight in stalker and crysis but games like this should not have

even in shadow warrior you aim down sight, and sprint but cant shoot and this new doom make shadow warrior looks like consolized game.

Looks like the SP is awesome.

@ghosts4ever: Eh? Not gonna bite. People, including PC gamings pretentious mascot, Total Biscuit promoted The New Order as an example of old school - an abysmal game.

Excellent campaign. When im done with Dark Souls 3 which may take forever, im getting this for sure

Yeah, Stalker and Crysis definitely wouldn't have been as good without ADS. Those games were just so good. WTB another Stalker game.

@uninspiredcup: It's true. The New Order kind of sucked, but Doom is a lot better. I've played both of them now, and I kept wanting to play Doom. The New Order? I stopped after an hour and haven't touched it since.

EDIT: I just realized I mixed up The New Order with The Old Blood. The New Order was decent, but it did get extremely repetitive by hour 5 of the game. I rushed through the game and the cutscenes just to get my money's worth. Now, The Old Blood -- this one sucked.

new order has iron sights, slow paced gameplay, no level design, forced linear path, too much rely on cinematics (which doom has none)

none of things present in Doom. I cant believe you like shadow warrior which has consolized sprint and aim down sight and hate this game which has fast paced gameplay, no iron sight, large level design. etc.

@DragonfireXZ95: I wish ID software themselve develop Wolfenstien new order instead of machine games. new order really really suck. boring.

tbh Doom and wolfenstien are exact opposite of each other. There has never been a bad Doom game. Even Doom 3 was great while only good wolfenstien was RTCW one of the best FPS ever. i was not familiar with wolf 3d. 2009 one, new order and old blood are trash.

I agree that Doom 3 and Doom 4 are both great games compared to the new Wolfenstein games.

Doom 3 I replayed at least twice, once without mods and once with.

And, I'm not sure what the modding scene will be like for Doom 4, but I'm enjoying Nightmare mode so far.

TB reassured what I thought the single player looked to be.

Fast paced.

Gonna get this for PS4 today and later for PC.

half life 2 was terrible, you should say since Doom 2 now thats a masterpiece

LOL video game journalists LOL

Jesus who did they hire? no arms McGee?

@mems_1224:

Painful to watch. And funny. Painfully funny? Painfunny?

My copy arrives on Sunday so I look forward to giving it a go.

I love it when a game impresses me right off the bat with its music and style. Those count for a lot and while not enough on their own to make a game, sometimes games who get all the ingredients right fail to deliver on those 2 and you just wish they did. Finished the first mission and I've got no real complaints honestly. It's exactly what I was looking for. Couldn't find one of the secrets in first area, so moved on, I'll come to it later when I upgrade that perk that helps find secrets. Starting with that tree first.

The more I play, the more I like. I'm not big on FPS games, but this one hits the spot.

Fucking hell man, looks like someone playing with m/kb for the first time, but to make matters worse you know they're using a controller lol.

Yet we still have all these shills looking at "professional"review scores like the gospel.

The first thing I'm doing when I finish the game is locating the soundtrack.

@ConanTheStoner: Polygon claimed it was faster than the originals, and apparently being told how many secrets are to be found is new, even though it's not.

I thought you were joking at first, but...

Polydipshit said: It's actually much faster than the original games tended to be — a statement I'm comfortable with, as I spent a chunk of last weekend playing Doom and Doom 2 in lieu of the absent Doom 2016.

Wtf man, it's not even comparable.

The speed in this game is fine (I'd like for it to be a bit faster), but it's not even close to the original. Dude is full of shit lol.

As for the melee bit, I think it's a cool way of getting health back, but yeah the mechanic itself loses its appeal pretty quickly. I prefer just gunning down enemies, the only time the melee feels satisfying is when you're on that last strip of health and get a refill from taking down a bigger enemy.

That looks like me on any multiplayer FPS.

Thats an insult.

@mr_huggles_dog:

I refuse to believe you're that bad bro. I thought I sucked at FPS, but damn lol.

@ConanTheStoner: lol...it feels that way. I dont play online much but I remember not being that bad.

That said, in games like BF on PC...yes, I'm sorta like that. I'm spastic bc I constantly get shot from God knows where and I get frustrated and flustered.

the end result feels like that video, lol.

Just finished downloading.....looking forward to checking it out.

I've only looked at some of the snap map stuff, and I'm a little underwhelmed. I wasn't expecting Mario Maker level of customization, but it seems pretty limited. Only having two weapons at a time, no custom music, and not being able to change the visuals/color scheme seems pretty lame.

so yeah not gonna lie the SP is pretty damn good.It feels very old school.The levels are huge and with lots of secrets to find.Game is challenging too but in a good way(ultra violence)

i stayed up nearly all night last night playing it(finished the hell level)

Other FPS take note how to make level design. man this game already made entire FPS genre joke..

I may pick it up this week,,,

@ConanTheStoner: Maybe a killstreaky rage bar would have made it less prolific. Or like Resi 4's knife where you use it on lower tier mobs to save ammo.

I've just started the game and let me tell you the Campaign is amazing its all about the SP lol

Holy shit the BFG is retarded.

In a good way of course.

Gonna flip flop on my hype again. First it was 8, then after playing a bit I thought 7, now I'm confident in a 9 lol.

8 Gamespot

77 to 82 Metacritic

Game is good but nothing special. Overall it plays and looks underwhelming to be AAA. I dont expect this as AAA metacritic by any means. Its as generic as it gets in an already oversaturated genre , that of FPS..

I wont be surprised if it ends up as an A after 80 reviews or something.

It's probably because I'm playing on medium, but the game just feels a bit overly long. Once you have all the desired upgrades, most fights are a damn cakewalk. I picked up the BFG a couple hours ago, haven't used it at all. I keep saving its ammo for the really hard fights, but they never come. I'm probably leaning towards 7 or 8 for this game. It's well made, but not blowing my socks off.

I put a bit more time into Snap Map recently, some of the maps people have already made are 10x times better then the garbage that id software is featuring. Hopefully Snap Map will generate some legit cool stuff after a week has passed. It's still feels overly limiting, but it does have some potential.

Playing Doom on medium, lol.

The game defaults to medium. Modern games should follow modern difficulty standards. The defualt difficulty should provide a well-rounded challenge for the first time experience.

Gonna disagree here. Game looks amazing to me. Texture work and lighting is brilliant. I'm also blown away by some of the effects like smoke and particles.

Can you change the difficulty during the game ?

They said they put the iron sights in there for people who want it. Gotta be honest, when I started DOOm, I looked for my ADS button as well... :P

But anyway the iron sights in Wolfenstein provide no benefit to say COD, where it makes you more accurate. You fire the same way wether you ADS or not. So I ended up never using it in Wolfenstein.

It's a stupid discussion wether Wolfenstein or DOOM is more old school. DOOM has the trick shot system from Bulletstorm so OF COURSE it has some newer elements in there as well. I love the multiple weapon mods.

Who the fvck cares anyway what game is more old school? All I want is fun shooters and I got them with DOOM, Wolfenstein and Shadow Warrior.

wolfenstien is not a fun game by any mean. too much cinematic and scripted design turn me off. its one of the most underwelmingly shooter in recent times that pretend to be old school. Doom start 10 second you shoot enemy. in wolfenstien old blood you have to wait for 1 hour and force you to watch a huge cutscene in car.

Yeah, he praised Thief 2014 as well. Not saying Doom will suck, just saying that not everything TB says is correct.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves here.

Looks like Campaign is solid. Will pick up the game ASAP.

Yeah having to sit through a car ride... Reminds me of Half Life, or Opposing Force.

Again, both FPS have old school elements in them. You are just looking at things how you want to see them, it's a meaningless discussion whether one is more old school than the other. Both are modern FPS, they came out recently, and both have some serious old school elements.

Game is much faster than shadow warrior 2013 - Check

Unlike shadow warrior you can sprint while shoot - Check

By far better gunplay. i mean by far. shadow warrior has weak gunplay - Check

Much bigger, better and almost 90s maze like level design while shadow warrior has very straight forward levels. sequel is improving on it

ID software did excellent job to make old school PC FPS to this game. flying wild hog did a good job too. machine games suck at that.

what old school elements are present in new order/old blood? because i didnot found any. even it has partial regen health. you health is below 20 and you regain again.

the game is insult to masterpiece that RTCW was.

I think Uncharted 4 is the best example of an old school shooter tbh. Much more hardcore too.

Why are they selling the DIGITAL version of the game (which should be cheaper than physical) for $10 more than the physical version of the game? And why is it as expensive as the console versions when there are no royalties paid?

I'm not paying $60 for what is ultimately going to be a singleplayer campaign for me. I was OKish with $50 but after seeing them do something nasty like that I'm waiting for a 50% sale.

The singleplayer looks cool to me. My only worry is that the melee could get boring/tiring because you will naturally use it in every, single, fight.

Man, it looks like id Software and Bethesda really came through on this one.

Played an hour of the online , that's no slouch either. First of all, there are tons of different modes. I enjoy Warpath, it's a nice variation of King of the Hill.

It's nice to see the game running on dedicated servers. To me, this proves commitment to making a solid expeirence from the dev. When you have games like COD that still don't use dedicated servers on consoles, I need to go out of my way to mention it DOOM's case.

Just last weekend I was playing Zombie mode in BO3 and I had 2 games back to back where the host quit mid-game and I got booted to the title screen. So it's nice seeing a game like DOOM that not only appears to have the campaign as a focus, but where the online is also well implemented. It's nothing special but it's old school fun, and my ping was excellent I had no issues playing online I'll surely play a few matches here and there.

On a side note, they should add a co-op Horde mode to this game. That would be incredible.

That sounds like a good idea.
