The difficulty spikes in this game is driving me bananas. I spent 90 mins last night replaying two different sections in Lazarus Labs because I kept dying towards the end of waves of the enemies and even more on the second wave of the boss battle. I'm not one to drop a difficulty down, but this game is really testing my patience. Only four more chapters to go, so hopefully I can wrap this one up soon.

DOOM UPDATE 6.66 SCRAPS SEASON PASS, ALL DLC FREE

Bethesda is ditching the Season Pass for Doom and giving away all multiplayer DLC content for free. The move comes in unison with the game’s newest update, the appropriately-dubbed Update 6.66. It’s available today.

“[W]e’ve retired the DOOM season pass and are making all of the multiplayer DLC content available to all players,” explains Doom game director Marty Stratton on Bethesda.net. “That’s three multiplayer DLC packs, which include nine of our best maps, three additional guns, three additional playable demons, new equipment, armor sets and more. That’s on top of the modes and features, like bot support, that players have been enjoying since late last year.”

The team has also overhauled the multiplayer progression system so, instead of the previous random unlock arrangement, players can now work towards earning specific items by completing set in-game challenges. Additionally, the Hack Module System has been replaced with an all-new Runes System.

“Much like the Runes system from the Doom campaign, multiplayer Runes are now persistent player abilities earned and included in a player loadout,” writes Stratton. “Unlike the previous Hack Modules, Runes do not need to be activated and do not expire. Runes are persistent capabilities (or perks) that become a consistent and predictable component of your loadout and play style.”

Bethesda is hosting a free weekend for Doom (kicking off this Thursday on Xbox One and PC, and next Thursday on PS4), during which new players will be able to rip and tear through the first two levels of the campaign and have unlimited access the Doom’s multiplayer.

Those keen to buy it afterwards can do so for the digital-only price of USD $14.99/£11.99/AUD$17.99.

I love the game, one of the most satisfying single player FPS campaigns to date, but it isn't going to happen Bethesda.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

I still have to finish this. Was so jazzed and loving the game then an area hit me and I got frustrated. I will go back that's for sure...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

I finished it last month. It was growing repetitive towards the end, but overall enjoyable. This is a game I feel would have benefited from being a couple levels shorter.

I am curious to see what they will do for a sequel. I don't think they could get away with doing the same thing again.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

It is better than Doom 3

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Fixed

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

DOOM digital code is $15 on Amazon for XB1. Great deal if you have slow shipping credit to burn.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Finished up the campaign today, great fucking game. Looks great, I need to see it running on my brother's 4K w/ HDR LG. Could not get enough of Glory kills, especially trying to get Death From Above one on big enemies :lol:. I loved finding the cute Trophy dolls and doing Rune & Weapon challenges. And yes that ending. I wanted to shoot Samuel Hayden from the back so bad :mad2:

Bring on DOOM 2, RAGE remastered, RAGE 2 and QUAKE (story version) reboot :D

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

its great to see people are still enjoying this

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Finishing this one still eludes me. Got real hard at one point. Great game thus far that’s for sure...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

had to go back to this after being tantalized by Eternal footage. still so much fun and fast, but still so frustratingly hard. dropped to easiest or don't hurt me setting or whatever and still hard. only on 6th level so ways to go and want to push through bc really so pretty to look at and so much fun killing. am not a fan of going back to beginning or entire level when you die, but want to push and give Dying Light a break for now. though i was loving it, i just can't help myself when it comes to pure, dumb, shooting and gruesome fun...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

I finally fired this up after watching the Doom Eternal Trailer after sitting unopened for more than a year....this is just downright good old fashion FPS school stuff. Reminds me a lot of the Unreal Tournament & Quake days except SP and no AI Teammates....no real dialogue, some killer heavy metal music and pure action.....one of those games you have a bad day at work or just need to let off some steam......

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

holy crap is this game so much fun. did drop down difficulty for a bit to get passed a couple sections, but figuring out where to go is sometimes a challenge. is that map for real? i have no idea what usefulness it serves. as long as the arrows on HUD work that's fine, but that map is nonsense.

this game is just so beautifully realized visually, audio and the shooting and simple running, jumping, climbing mechanics. it all works so well and never feels remotely clunky. just easy and breezy. everything a dumb, fun FPS with a bit of meat should be...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

there are no DLC's for this game, correct? i checked MS website and didn't see anything, but want to make sure...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

There were, but they were multiplayer based and are now free

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

gotcha. thanks Rich.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

so for those who remember, those ruin challenges...when you complete and get reward, you can only have 1 of them equipped at time?

i busted my ass on this in-flight mobility (where you have more control in double jumps) one where you have to get 15 whatevers in 16 seconds. no missteps whatsoever. took me awhile, but finally got and find out can only have one of those special abilities at time. that blows!

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Maybe all that explains that massive 31gb Update.....I see all sorts of windows at the main screen....is there something in the GOTY Campaign different? I just hit campaign at the upper top left....

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

So much fucking fun. The blasting, the guns, this new BFG-9000 or whatever is the bees knees. I cleared out rooms full of besties and big ones in one charged shot (scarce ammo of course) I rediscovered how effective the fucking chainsaw is with fuel. Takes some of the faster harder ones down with one swipe. Finding stuff, some slight puzzle stuff. Fucking need more games like this. Bulletstorm comparable, but didn’t have beauty and variety as DOOM. So simple and yet so brilliant in execution...

With all that footage maybe Eternal 2nd Q of 2019? That would be marvelous. Sooner certainly better, but never miracles in gaming world...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

I’m gonna be real sad when I finish this one. Real sad. Have like 5 levels left, but think they are short. Eternal can’t come soon enough. Any reason to play again besides different difficulty option?

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

So you can jam out to some tunes and enjoy the atmosphere, plus finding all the Doom levels.

Pew pew pew

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

that's actually kinda cool. didn't know they use the new baddies and guns, just in old DOOM environment. i found a couple, but who the hell knows where...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

That cyber demon at Lazarus Labs is one tough SOB. Only real boss I encountered. Am I nearing the end?
