Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

this is the most fun i've had in a game in a long time!

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

holy crap! are you kidding me with that second boss fight (Hell Guard or Spiderdemon or whatever at The Necropolis)?? forcefield and 3 of them, 2 together....no!

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Is there a way using the map to tell where the levers and classic DOOM levels are?

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Any good tips on taking out last crab beastie? She’s a bitch! I’ve been going for that gun utter or whatever. Only doing little damage. Only tried once so far, but just wanted to see if anyone had a plan...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

I finished this too long ago to remember, but I played it a bit last night. Wow! This is soooo good. I had forgotten about Berserk mode. So much fun!

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

I’m really gonna be sad when this will be over this weekend. What exactly is arcade mode? I almost want to start from beginning again. Hopefully Metro 2033 will be as mindless and fun and this is...

edit...that arcade mode looked cool, same game just everything unlock and get points based on how kill.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

wow! this last boss is a bit of a grind...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

what a fantastic game. i had a glitch for a few minutes where the boss was just sitting there doing nothing. immobilized for a good 2 minutes (so i just kept blasting brain) until i used another weapon and it jarred her out or something. very weird. anyway, wow! just so much mindless fun!!!

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

I'll have to give Arcade mode a try. I played to get a fair amount of achievements, but gave up when I realized how many were for multiplayer stuff that I have no interest in.

I've got 53 hours into it. Not sure how long it took me to complete the game.

I did try a few snap maps just to get an achievement, but they weren't very interesting.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

is there a way to know how long it took you to finish the single player campaign?

this DOOM 3 BFG that came out years ago. is it anything like what i just played with the new incarnation or does it really show it's age? what is it a compilation?

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Doom 3 BFG is kind of just like a Doom 3 GOTY/Remastered type of edition. If you haven't played Doom 3 before, it's very different from the new Doom. It's slower paced and more of a tense horror game then the fast paced action shooter that the recent game is.

I enjoyed it (and it looked great at the time), but it's definitely different.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

popped it in and loving it so far. really early on, but reminiscent of new and has that simple gameplay i love. never played any DOOM until 2016 version. will stick with it...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

I don't know of a way to check your time, other than checking when you're done. If you keep playing, it just keeps tallying.

In fact, Steam counts your time, even if you pause the game. I found this out as I played a ton of Portal 2 user test chambers and I see my time in Portal 2 is in the thousands of hours. I used to pause it, and alt-tab out to do other stuff, sometimes for a couple of days.

Wasn't Doom 3 the really claustrophobic game? I don't think I liked that one. IIRC the engine couldn't render large environments quickly enough, so everything is very enclosed.

I don't remember if I finished it, or not. I have a feeling I didn't.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Yeah, a lot of tight corridors and subsequent jump scares from the monsters. Also the game where upon originally released you couldn't shoot and use a flashlight at the same time, which meant a very dark game most of the time. Since corrected by the BFG edition, I believe.

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Yes you can use flashlight and shoot at same time. Loving this incarnation...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Got back into it some yesterday and it's just a blast. I landed in the "Bad Place" after the crazy scientist opened the portal with clear simple instructions...Kill Everything...what a change in scenery....

I am having a PITA with the Savagery Rune....where you have to use that close up shotgun and make it to the Temple in time. The jumping part is a pain. I've missed the first jump 60% of the time. My face is right at the ledge and won't let me grab it half-the-time. But that last jump....not even close.It's only my 5th Rune but the others, got done in a minimum of three tries. I've tried this one nearly 30 and gave up.

One thing more...on the controller, it shows "Pushing Down on the L3, Photo Mode should be engaged"....I can't get it to work.

As to guns, I'm using them all but trying to max the Shotgun (normal) and the Assault Rifle Mini-Missiles. I just got the Gauss Rifle and it's a blast and when it gets hectic I have to have the Rocket Launcher with Lock-on.....and the Hologram is far more handy than grenades IMHO.....saved me countless times...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Yeah, the Savagery Rune was a PITA. Although the last jump shouldn't be that tough. You do have jump boots, right?

My copy of the 4xLP vinyl soundtrack for this shipped today!

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

so, there wasn't any footage of new game in there, correct? do we even have projected release date?

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

there is a few seconds of actions from the new game towards the end...where he runs his Wrist Blade..a.k.a Predator..about the 50 second mark thru a Zombie Soldier's face....but yea, so far nothing on the release date

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

Anyone play this on Ultra-Violence difficulty? I want to jump back into this after Borderlands 3, but want a different experience. Played on default, normal Violence level or whatever. It got very very tough at times. A couple frustrations. Died a lot. But incredible time. Will UV be too difficult? Just want something different, but not too difficult that I want to give up or drop down level and have same experience...

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

It's hard but since the game is so pattern/wave oriented you can definitely figure it out

Re: Doom (5/13/2016: Xb1, ps4, pc)
 

i say go for it, i died quite a lot when i first played it on PS4 when it was released, then a couple of years later i got it again on XBox One and found the same difficulty easier and should of tried it on 'UV' mainly i think because the first time round i didnt know what to expect and i was playing defensively rather than offensively; you go into a room and rush to them before they can truly react and gang up on you you will be the victor. this is easier with a mouse and keyboard as one of the main strenths of that combination is you can fast switch weapons so a double barrelled shotgun followed by a gauss cannon / or rocket shot is excellent.
plus getting the Rune for more health when glory killing is very helpful

a couple of days ago i listen to this podcast which is quite good: search for 'Designing DOOM Eternal with Hugo Martin - Noclip Podcast #22' on youtube

I forgot how fast and loose this plays. Takes some getting used to. It’s a smooth operator...
