Multiplayer? Not so much.

Thats R6 Siege.
>>
I really liked Wolfenstein The New Order and The Old Blood. I've been looking at this game a lot and it looks like I'll enjoy it just as much. Is it worth full price even if the multiplayer is shit like everyone says it is? I like Halo multiplayer a lot and people have compared DOOM's MP to it. Is this an accurate comparison?

This don't make it actually good.
A less smelly shit is still a shit.

It's a cinematic shooter for brutal doom kids, fuck off.

These. Both are easily fixable, the core gameplay is basically perfect for what it wants to be. It basically just needs to be longer, and stop keep locking you in monster arenas.

Increasing the number of spawned enemies would also go a long way towards making it better.
>>
>>340732131
You might like the multiplayer briefly but it just gets boring quick.

It's a great game that everyone should play, but I don't personally pay $60 for games any more when I've played less for games I got 200 hours out of. I got it for $35 at a key reseller. Most certainly worth that.

Its pretty boring after awhile, area after arena lockdown some shitty bosses and utter shit ending but great pacing, movement and weapons with the glorykill highlight turned off it looks much better . Its a great snack something to nibble on here and there but there isnt much meat

Thank god the shilling died out so fast.

It's popular and it's not a carbon copy of Doom I, I am also no longer a kid/teenager playing it. I am a cynical jaded fuck who refuses to find any enjoyment in anything any more.
>>
>>340732225
>monster arenas

These were good and bad for the game I think. I love entering an area and just trashing super hard for like 5-10 minutes through tons of shit, THAT was what was most fun for me. However, everything else in the game became a bit barren because of it. They need to populate the other areas outside the arenas too, but still keep those places where the music kicks in and it's time to fuck.

Basically the game just needs MORE. Kinda glad it ended on a cliffhanger and sold well, makes me hopeful for a sequel

The same 4 animations to cinematic take down as enemies that swarm is only something like 15
The story is extremely poor, should have removed completely
Too few enemy types
Too short
Rpg elements of suit sucked
Weapon mods were interesting but far too limited
Rune challenges were shit
>>
I love this kind of shooters, arcade ones with a big focus on videogamey gameplay. D44M, Wolfenstein The New Order, Shadow Warrior, The Darkness 2, Destiny, shit like that.

It's a shame that most of them have really glaring flaws.

The experience from set to set is indistinct, owing to the ignorance of the developers as to the importance of silhouette, as well as aesthetic beyond a consistent style and every graphical touch a AAA budget can buy. This, combined with the arena hopping direction as a replacement for traditional exploration, delivers a game far less riveting than it could have been.

I went back to replay Doom 64 and Doom 3 after this, and I now firmly believe the universally regurgitated pandering-born praises surrounding Doom 2016 will be proven overblown as the years go by.

You're making it worse because everyone knows you can't pirate it so it you're starting off a greentext story with a piece of blatently false information. That's what lead to this in the first place. Saying you rented it doesn't make it worse.

>>340732823

People will generally place a higher value on things they've actually purchased. Personally I've found I put more time into listening to albums and hence get more enjoyment out of them if I've actually paid for it. Same thing goes with videogames, if you don't pay for it it's easy to dismiss it as shit or not invest any time into it.
>>
>>340735850
>chainsaw is a scripted event ammo dispenser

I feel like I'm the only one not too bothered by this. I just remember the DOOM 1 and 2 chainsaw as hold W+M1 down until the pinkie stops stuttering in it's animation.

Hell, this was even faster in some cases.

If I still had 50 I could do this in a matter of minutes, but trying to reach 150 armour is nearly impossible, let alone 12 times. Should I just go farm a Mega-Health pickup?
>>
>>340736884
Shadow Warrior is complete trash, it's an insult to put anything on its level. DOOM is at least a 6.5/10, and so is TNO for that matter.

>I love entering an area and just trashing super hard for like 5-10 minutes through tons of shit

I wish that was true. At first, I felt like that too, until I realized that those fights are closer to 2-3 minutes, and you never fight more than a handful of enemies at the same time.

also, more enemies only spawn in if you kill all the current fat guys. I tried several times kiting a big guys like hellknights or cacodemons around, and nothing new spawned until I killed them.

you have this rocket launcher with extreme blast radius, but remember a moment when you killed 20 imps at the same time with it? no, you don't, the most you will encounter at the same time seems to be a number around 10, and even then all the enemies are usually nicely sprinkled across a medium sized arena.

it feel like painkiller, but with less enemies and a bit more exploring.
>>
>>340737961
It really is an issue of just not enough enemies.

Bigger areas + More enemies would make this all so much better.

>no variety
I hate it when people who haven't played the game post about it.

It's a modern FPS modelled in the vain of classic FPS games. There are also boss fights, tons of collectibles, challenges, weapon customization/upgrades, character upgrades, and badass ultra-satisfying combat.

Every weapon feels completely different from one another and every weapon has its own use in specific situations.

By all accounts Doom2016 is by far one of the best shooters in years along with Wolfenstein.

If you are a fan of classic shooters like Duke Nukem, Blood, Doom, Quake, etc... you will love this game.

>is it worth full price - yes
>is it fun - yes
>is the multiplayer good - most would consider it mediocre

I've personally had a great time with the multiplayer because all the CoD babies and battlefags don't know how to play arena shooters. It also feels refreshing in comparison to what we have become used to over the past years.

Overall this game is a solid 9/10 in my books.

If you think you need to make 45k a year to buy a video game then you're a completely ignorant fuck who needs to get his shit together. You obviously haven't heard of budgeting and not wasting money.
>>
>>340734202
No I haven't played it. Of course I havent. I dint like the look of it. Gameplay may well be solid but it doesn't strike me as interesting, and it certainly isn't something that will keep me going for 2 months to get my money's worth.

>>340740625
Regardless of what anyone thinks of Doom or Wolfenstein, it's clear that they are a step in the right direction for first person shooters.

Sorry you're stuck in the Stone Age and can't appreciate a fun game because you're jaded and apprehensive to change.
>>
>>340740870
The game looks fantastic.

Also all the hate on the multiplayer was because they included shit game modes in the beta. Best game mode is Domination and actually a lot of fun to play.

Have you actually played the game? It adds variety to combat and the faggots saying there are only four animations, this is wrong, there are five different animations for every single type of enemy.

Sick of these memes.
