oh boy

Never understood the hate with chromatic abherration and motion blur. They're effects that stop visuals looking too perfect and thus, fake. So many comment about the lady from P.T. looking real because of that impairment.
I get that some games use the effects poorly but the blanket hate is like complaining about Anti-alias or having levels that aren't perfectly lit and visible at all times.
>>334286545
I figure the blanket hate is because so few games make good use of it. If I can turn it off I will since it looks like shit to me but that's just my opinion.

>>334286545
Most people only see the awkward outlines that CA causes. Motion blur is hated because it effects the whole fucking screen most of the time when it's something that happens organically with a rapidly moving camera anyway until you get to the advanced sort that blurs moving objects (the sort most games still don't use).
Add in an option to get rid of fullscreen motion blur and Doom handles both effects pretty good, though.
>>334286720
Yeah I agree that settings are important. I have to turn motion blur either down or off in The Forest because the default is so high it's like looking through beer goggles.

Bit late to the party: the skins being customizable to the point of looking atrocious is old news.

The .exe was probably accessible this whole time bruh.
>>334287472
is there a way to start a match with bots?
console doesn't seem to be working
>>334287534
not sure, I tried clicking it earlier before OP started this thread and shortly after my Doom updated about 3gb of data
Then I was able to launch it
>>334287551
There's a cracked version of the closed beta and closed alpha (Don't go looking for this one, though - it's pretty terrible for anything beyond datamining) floating around somewhere.
>>334287719
>There's ANOTHER 3gb
Seriously?
I played in closed alpha and got a 9gb update when they did the "pre-load", what the fuck are they adding that takes up that much? They're saying it'll be the same 2 maps again. Hopefully it's a load of unintentional stuff and we get a bunch of leaks again.
I'm glad motion blur can be adjusted.
>>334287037
Thanks doc.
>>334287912
I was wondering that myself. I have to wonder if there's any surprises in store or anything.
did they wipe data from the closed beta? I was level 15
>>334288494
Yup.
Hopefully they let you keep it this time around since it is an open beta and it's fair.
>>334288617
Thats fucking silly
>>334288617
Fuck. At least the FOV slider goes up to 110, pretty happy about that
>>334288494
I can't remember how long it took me to hit 15 but it was pretty fast anyway. I really hope there aren't any non-cosmetic unlocks beyond that in retail.
>>334288709
I get doing it to be fair to the people that couldn't play the closed beta, but I really don't want to unlock the custom loadouts and shit a third fucking time so they need to let us keep our progression.
A modern game having modern graphical options, OP?
Say it isn't so.
>>334288916
The latest video shows that you unlock a shit ton of guns and equipment at level 3, although that that may have been for demonstration purposes. Interestingly the combat shotgun has to be unlocked
>let's get rid of cheats by having them as an option
>>334289409
we call of duty now
>>334289409
Fuck I wish they'd fire up the servers early. I have to get up for work three hours after the beta goes live.
The shit i've seen so far in the options and loadouts and stupid shit like that only further proves my point that Doom is a series that should stay in Single Player only.
>>334289970
Eh, the datamining has revealed a lot of options. Hope they're not all behind the paywall though.
SnapMap will probably be more fun anyway.
>>334289904
>Have uni assessment due on the monday immediately following open beta
>Have even bigger uni assessment the week the game comes out
At least I'll get to look at the cheap agitated skeleton statue while I write my essay.
>>334289970
It's outsourced anyway, no effort has been diverted from the id dev team. It's a dumb move for Beth to be pushing multiplayer demos when they could've done something that's likely to really need rigorous testing like Snapmap with it's co-op and ability to host creations online and cross-platform being something that'd be exceptionally prone to unforseen fuck-ups.
>>334289970
The single player is going to be just as bad if not worse.
>>334286068
yeah but you can't turn off AA which pisses me off
>>334291186
>now you can turn off motion blur
>previously it could only be set to low
>aa on the other hand still cannot be disabled
I can't imagine why
>>334290657
I don't miss taking classes. Glad that shit's over now even if I have to get up early to be a friggin' board op for a radio station. At least it's related to my major so it doesn't feel like it was all for naught.
>>334291319
I'm in first year and I already have to write shit unrelated to my major in a compulsory unit. If it was all related to my major I'd probably be done way ahead of time.
>>334289409
I can't wait to buy them with money
>>334294176
You get them for free at the end of every match and they're the lamest shit ever.
>see a healthbar
>see your buddies
>see an icon where the power weapon/powerup spawns (for those folks with the memory of a goldfish)
>see the last guy to have killed you, as if you want to go after one guy on the other side of the map
>>334294690
naah i know that, i mean they would be perfect for micro transactions
knowing how great this game is gonna be they'll probably have them
>>334294874
They've vehemently come out saying there will be no microtransactions. Although the season pass is bullshit.
