@ghosts4ever - There goes your Hope for DOOM 2016 being best FPS ever. Got a 8 on GS. Could not even get a 9 and you were comparing it with UC 4 looool.

most of best games in history got 8s. so??

HaHa DOOM 2016 TEH BEST GAME EVER. There goes your Hype down the drain :P Its a solid Shooter, nothing exceptional as you Hyped it all these time to be. The Witcher 3, MGS V , Uncharted 4 are far superior games :)

My friend, i never expect this game to recieve 10s because i know jounralist are joke nowadays. just look at how polygon suck at playing it because it has no aim down the sight. they complain about multiplayer. Steam reviews are what that matter its its 93% positive. its Old school hardcore shooter and ciritics are used to of Modern warfare. If Cancelled Doom 4 released now i bet it would recieve more higher score because that game resemble COD with mulitple NPC and follow orders.

I dont play scores but games. so Doom is indeed better than MGS5, witcher 3, UC4 or any other 10 rated GS game.

So GS still hasn't reviewed the game lol, wow this site is such a joke XD. But hey at least they got Stellaris a review....

Peter was talking on The Lobby about how the review will be up later today. Given that there were no review copies I don't see the issue with them taking their time to do a proper review instead of rushing one out for a bit of traffic

The game was out almost 5 days ago, the SP isn't even that long. If Doom was like 30 or 40 hours long I'd understand for the delay but the SP is barely 12 hours long.

yea but the game also has multiplayer and that snap map thing

You don't need more than 72 hours to review a 12 hour SP game with tacked on MP, anything more is being lazy.

Everyone just needs to buy the game with the pre notion that it's a lot of action with enemies in arenas.....no fuss with too much story. Strictly balls to the wall action pick up and play game.

If that's not your thing don't get it.

But don't rely on the reviews.

And for every valid knock there is against CoD, there are plenty of shitty ones built around "I don't play this game, or even plan on buying it, but I sure as **** will bitch about it at every turn". PC version is also at 5 reviews, the PS4 at 17, that's a pretty big deal given that it's an average. Scores are perfectly fine, better mediums with better critics have had graded critiques. Gamers give way too much stock to the score, the number, and less to what the complaints/praise is centered around, and if that reflects what they want. Because, well that one is obvious.

You completely missed the point. But that's OK.

There is no point to actually miss sport, "scores do no justice", it's on the reader to address whether or not the complaints/praise actually speak to something they like/dislike.

The point is that sometimes critics opinions on a game do not line up with users/players. While DOOM is doing ok with critics, it's being praised massively by users around the internet.

I finally use a Redbox machine and some reason I picked DOOM as my 1st ever rental. So far, the Campaign is exactly what you're describing.

It's not bad as I'm not a big fan of FPSs.(3rd person is way better)

The MP beta was OK and now the retail copy with more modes I had some fun.

88 on PC Gamer, which was the last hold-out in my professional reviews checklist. Still holding strong at 92% on Steam reviews. Ars Technica, who tend to be harsh as hell, also like it.

Right, insta-buy.

lots of times critics opinions don't line up with the general audience, it's because it's their critics. It's not an injustice, albeit sure 1 or 2 of the reviews come off as a basic misunderstanding of how anything works in that game. More importantly, it's not even getting mediocre reviews, it's batting an 80. That's hardly a low score.

I'd think so, save for the 7.1 at IGN, who always tend to be a bit eccentric, and I've always considered them to be a "second tier" reviewer in my checklist.

I found one negative thing about the game, they want us to find secrets which may need backtracking...just that parts of some maps you cant go back to so you need restart whole level...

Loving the Game, Graphics are not exactly stellar but the gameplay rocks, it's nice to be playing a decent twitch shooter again.

Aiming down the Sights is for Noobs, Circle Strafing is where it's at.

Downloaded and installed, then played a few minutes to make sure it works.

Died instantly.

Gah. The game threw me into a fight without giving me a chance to adjust my mouse sensitivity properly. After I jacked it up to 5.5, however, I started to do things I learned in my years playing Unreal Tournament 2004; jump-strafing, dodging projectiles, pulling off reflex shots, etc.

The game runs buttery smooth on High on my Z77 system with a GTX 970, though it's still early days. I'm quite tempted to switch to Ultra, but I fear I don't have enough system RAM. The glory kills are already getting old on me, but at least they're good for conserving ammo.

Then I picked up my first Doomguy figurine. As it started playing a version of the old E1M1 track at me, I felt like I'm going to like this game in the end.

But first, time to sleep.

So, finally got done with my Ultra-Violent playthrough, really added some padding to this game. Just the right difficulty to give me a challenge but not go pulling all my hair out over. I highly recommend. Downside is I'm looking at my library of action games right now and everything just seems so.... well, dull. I think the worst thing about Doom is it might have ruined everything else for me, for the time being.

In the first minute you can see like a half dozen grave markers of places he died in previous playthroughs, LOL, in just the first and easiest section. Keep watching you see more. Basically if you don't know when you play Ultra Nightmare it will mark any place you've died along your journey, and the more I watch I keep seeing those spots. I kind of feel like watching more of this just to see where else he died because the farther in I can just imagine each new marker I see was like a raging failure moment, especially the farther in they are.

Bringing this back to say, I'm about 90% through the campaign on Ulta-Violent and this game is stupendous. The levels, the sound (even though I've had two occasionans where the music cut out and I had to close and reopen the game to get the music back) the feel of destruction at your hands after you get to Hell the first time.

Just the feeling of joy and pride after you wipe an entire room clean of Knights, Barons, Revenants, Imps having used five or six different weapons depending on the occasion. Having run around the entire area you are fighting in to pick up health, armor and more ammo -- or not having to because you get everything you need from Glory Killing the demons.

I am completely blown away by this game. Beautiful, violent, unrellenting, difficult (without being punishing, which is very rare), loud...Id did an amazIng job with the Doom campaign.

I'm 16 hours in and just got to the Lazarus Labs. Why? Because I recently wiped out half of my progress and restarted Act 2 in Dragon Age II all because I forgot to buy one ring. I'm a perfectionist, and I must have all the secrets, all the collectibles, all the challenges and all the upgrades. I... ...just... ...must.

So far, it's the most fun I've had playing an FPS since Far Cry 3, and that was a different kind of fun. Taking a break to play something slower so I don't burn myself out, but will play more later.

The game reminds me of Hardcore Henry. It's a lot of fun. I played 2 multiplayer matches... It's ok, but with Overwatch coming out in 1 day I am not even going to try to get into it.

^ Ultra-Violence first play through took me 14 hours, too. Missed one argent container and a handful of other stuff but I can't be arsed to go back to find them. Had some random CTD's that were a little annoying. Haven't had that in a PC game for like 5 years now, was a little surprised.
