Doom's DLC is now free to all

For anyone who owned last years Doom will now get all dlc for free now. I guess nobody bought the season pass then lol. I never did since it was a waste of money so thankfully I get play all the extra stuff for free.

Sweet.

Is it all just competitive MP content, right? They probably could have made money on a season pass by expanding the SP portion of the game. Too bad they didn't.

Thats great for those interested. Sadly, I've never touched DOOM's multiplayer, and I never will. Let them datamine that lol.

Was wondering why I had a 34GB update when I started Steam. Good grief.

Good move, the multiplayer is a nice little distraction that plays a little like the older titles, but I was not able to play it more than a few hours, just doesn't have that longevity but this should help increase the community count. I still want to play this game even though I finished it, I want to do a second playthrough on the hardest difficulty and try out that Arcade points mode I remember hearing about at some point.

59 GB update in the X1 ..... oh well, it's free so who gives a shit.

Another fucking update for this huge game, for more content no one wants.

I need to beat this and delete it off my SSD. Too much space taken for a game I've already beat on PS4 at this point.

That's for the MP right? No interest then. The MP beta was total shit and I never bothered with it in the full game.

Exactly. But they went the cheapskate route.

Hopefully this means the single player team has been doing something else awesome in the meanwhile.

Is it free permanently or temporary?

I was bored of the SP after a few hours.

Mediocre game

Permanently it seems.

Doom's multiplayer is trash tho.

Why did they never do singleplayer DLC?

Why did GTA V never do singleplayer DLC?

So many questions. So few answers.

i didn't buy doom for it's mp

I know it's been said plenty of times, but it's almost tragic how much Bethesda misunderstood their own game. (I'm assuming these were publisher made decisions.)

- Terrible marketing. Ironically it was the Nvidia video meant to showcase the games performance that actually sold me on the game looking fun.

- Terrible idea pushing an MP beta as the main attraction ahead of release.

- Terrible idea focusing on MP DLC. They could have made a killing off of single player expansions.

Good thing the game was a lot of fun and had great word of mouth, the marketing really did it no favors.

Had they scrapped the multiplayer, focused on single player DLC, and paved the way for a true modding community, the game would have seen so much more success.

Dont care. no body play Doom for MP.

Original Dooms MP was quite popular, and generally very good. Paved the way the way for Quake.

Likewise title such as RTCW delivered on both fronts. Good 9 hour SP, great team based MP.

Unfortunately younger users such as yourself, and similar ilk has been fed on a diet of expecting bad MP, or good MP with bad SP, when really, neither should be the case.

theres very few game to deliver good SP and good MP. either has good SP or good MP. Doom has always been about SP. and Quake was popular for MP.

even the MP focus game titanfall 2 which is known for its MP has bad MP but good SP. thats strange.

why need SP DLC? it would be payed DLC which will be rip off.

better focus on its sequel. thats what we wanted. sequel with new engine improved gameplay.

Objectively false my friend. Quake 1-2 have excellent SP, and Quake 4 is primarily SP focused.

Objectively false my friend. I guess you're too young to remember.

Also Quake 1 arguably has some of the best SP designed levels you'll play, it's an exceptionally well designed game.

My friend, once upon a time when you were a young lad, before you popped your first pimple, there where these things called expansion packs. They took the games that we already dearly enjoyed and added on to them with new levels, weapons, enemies, challenges etc.

You were able to get more of the game you enjoyed for a fraction of the price. It was good.

And long before that, some time between the time your parents were creating you in their bed and your first time trying to ride a unicycle, there was a game called Doom II. For the most part, it was like an expansion to the original Doom. And of course it received expansions of its own. Expansionception. It was fun.

To the point though:

1. We don't know if it would have been a rip off. That would depend on what they're charging for what they're offering.

2. I think most people who played Doom 4 would agree that they would rather have more SP than MP. The fact is we did get DLC. I'm just saying I would have rather had the former than the latter.

I'm sure there will be a sequel anyways.

If I ever get DOOM on my PC then this is cool. Its a waste of money on console though, no one in their right mind should be paying for online play.

Yeah it really sucks that it had to be this large.

I know. Both games have good singleplayer which is what people wanted but yet they only get dlc for multiplayer but never singleplayer which is what we all really want.

The people who bought that stuff should be happy.. LOL.

That shoudve just made it optional. Forcing me to download nearly 35GB is stupid.

I dont even play online!

I kinda liked its MP. It didnt grab me but I think people are way too harsh on it. It is still fun like many other MP game portions out there

Back then, there was no precedent for Doom's LAN multiplayer besides 2-player modem play and play for pay online flight sims.

The beauty of Doom MP was it's ability to easily utilize (company) LANs. Hence, the drop in productivity worldwide.

So I got the game and all the dlc for $14.99. I'm really good with that price for this game. Happy I didn't spend $60+ considering it went on sale two weeks after release and has steadily been having better and better sales ever since.

Eh, fair enough. Calling it terrible or straight up garbage is definitely hyperbolic.

I think the issue is that it plays too similarly to a lot of stuff that's already out there, but without being quite as good. So a lot of people were left feeling like "why bother".

I think I spent an hour or two with the multiplayer after finishing up the campaign for the first time. I wouldn't even say I had a bad time with it, but I had no motivation to stick with it over a wide array of other online shooters.

It's pretty garbage. At the least what I played at launch n the beta was mos-definitely garbage. There wasn't a whole lot to the movement, the chaingun completely neutered any sense of skill, not that charge rifle thing wasn't a beast as it were. The game is way too friendly with aim assist for pad players on a PC, the maps are fairly unimpressive, and the nature of having a monster upgrade is so fundamentally at odds with an Arena shooter. Especially because the player is given so very little to combat the thing with.

Now lets go over all the things that the mp actually does well

-The shooting mechanics have a good feel to them

The end. If the criteria for "garbage" is that it's broken, congrats, the people making the mp showed off that they aren't incompetent, but it's a bad multiplayer game. Be it in this era or another one.

@jg4xchamp:

Geez, not every game needs to play exactly like UT and OW ya know? At least it's better than Haze.

Pad takes more skill anyways, any loser can point and click for a kill. BOOOORINNNNG.

lol

lmfao.
