Is the new DOOM fun? Thinking about picking it up when it goes on sale next week. SP looks good, and I heard MP is supposed to get massive reworks to be great since id is in charge of it now.
>video game
>fun
It's already on sale, only $40 at Best buy and Gamestop this week.
>>341738228
PC?
Played through campaign once
It was alright
>>341738385
Can you elaborate a bit more?
>>341738819
Well, there were some guns and some demons and you go into hell a few times to shoot demons there
Played through on ultra violence, fights were fun. Would have appreciated more smaller enemies at the same time in later fights. Core gameplay was good, double jump and ledge climbing seemed out of place at first but helped to get around without taking control away
It looked pretty good, and the music wasn't too intrusive. Story took a backseat as it should
My only real complaint is that there should have been way more demons outside of arena fights, like 90% of the enemies were concentrated in those arenas
>>341739789
What about the multiplayer? Surely it's fun since the core gameplay is good yeah?
>>341740167
Wouldn't know, haven't tried
Like I said, played through campaign once
I was thinking I'd try it tomorrow or something. Shouldn't be too bad since I'm already braced for disappointment with all the shit I heard about it
Did they crack denuvo yet or is it really over for piratefags?
I'm not willing to pay full price or even 40$ for Boom. Guess I'll pick it up in a year or two in the bargain bin.
>>341740753
I don't think Denuvo is ever gonna be cracked desu senpai
>>341740753
won't be cracked since all the crackers have moved on to real jobs instead of sitting around all day and fucking around for free.
even the Chinese groups said they will not even attempt to crack Denuvo for a year or two. companies are hiring these guys to stop cracking, all about the jewgold nowadays guys.
>>341740167
Multiplayer is a halo reskin. Its alright but dont buy the game for mp
>>341741948
How so? It looks a lot faster than halo and it's got doom weapons so it's already better
>>341741948
>Its alright but dont buy the game for mp
But you just guaranteed that I'll be doing that since I love Halo multiplayer.
There's a demo out for it, one week only tho
Feels like serious sam but with "parkour", multiple leveled areas and a decrease in the amount of enemies.
But pretty fucking good. No idea if you would find it fun, some people enjoy eating shit or even dirt for example, everybody is different.
>>341741948
>Multiplayer is a halo reskin
>has no vehicles
>maps are tiny
>>341742216
I played a bit of MP (like for an hour or so I'd say)
1) it feels different from the SP in terms of movement and how the weapons work (probably in the name of balance); you run slower for example, which was a big disappointment from second one of my first match
2) weapons aren't located around the arena, ammo and health packs are, but for weapons, there is a 2 weapon limit, and they are defined by classes that you make before a match, and get unlocked as you play more; it's shit for this type of game
also they need to release some kind of official horde mode, because on the PC people have made some snapmap horde maps.....the problem is that NO ONE on PC is playing snapmap in MP
sometimes I just wanna be in doom with the music and the gunning down demons, but I don't wanna replay the story mode again and again
also the snapmap gameplay is run off the backend of multiplayer, including my above complaints about movement and weapon limits and changes
>>341743350
This senpai
>>341743523
I think SnapMap would be played more of they didn't require you to restart the game just to play it. It should be accessible from the Multiplayer menu
>>341738289
Steam sale starts real soon so probably.
>>341740167
Not really. It might add well be a different game given all the changes. All guns work almost totally differently, like the SS had a reticle that's like three times bigger than SP. While the powerups are a cool idea they're op and basically translate into free kills on anyone you encounter for their duration (also best weapon was made into a powerup which means no explosive jumping). The net code is also hilariously incompetent.
Played through it, now running the levels again for secrets. I haven't been this infatuated with a game since TW3 or Talos Principle. No idea if I'll ever touch the multiplayer since grappling and double jump really don't belong there in my opinion.
>>341743945
>since grappling and double jump really don't belong there in my opinion
>grappling
?
>double jump
What possible reason?
>>341743815
also also if they removed the dumb "memory limit" and "demon limit"
in fact if they removed all the limits and let people just make what they want
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss8SyOhqk1I
watch this and vomit
>>341738062
Yeah it's real good. After beating it twice on nightmare I've been looking for something comparable to scratch the itch but short of replaying the classics I haven't been able to find anything.
>>341744063
Double Jump would actually be good if you had the air control rune from single player so you'd actually be able to dodge things. As it is its useless except for navigating the map.
>>341744148
Serious Sam first encounter.
Serious Sam 3. (takes a little while to get into swing)
>>341744338
Maybe it is useless, but I don't see how it doesn't belong.
>>341740753
Doom cracking is making progress. They now get to the main menu, loads to 100% then black screen. Yes, it's not playable but we are closer.
>>341744348
Already beat them recently sadly. I'm probably gonna have to wait for ss4 or sw2.
>>341738062
Yes it's what an FPS should be. There's not a whole lot of replay value though besides harder difficulties. I rented it from Redbox and beat it in on normal in like two days.
>>341744448
I don't either, im not the guy you replied to. I thought your ? was you wondering why they put it in.
>>341744750
>and beat it in on normal
Why the fuck would you relegate your first and best experience of a game to normal?
>>341738062
Loved the thing, although it has a few very serious flaws.
>>341738062
i got bored of it after seeing a gamegrumps lets play to be honest, idk why but lets plays make a game old incredibly fast
>>341744148
Wolfenstien: The New Order. It's more story driven, but the gameplay is fast paced as fuck.
>>341744723
>Serious Sam 4
I have some news for you, anon.
>>341744959
What are they?
>>341744959
>a few very serious flaws
I'm curious as to what they are.
They released a demo during E3.
I thought "this is pretty good" but I dunno if I'd pay $60 even if I could afford it.
>>341745258
Already played recently, although I am waiting for the steam sale to pick up the old blood.
>>341745275
They confirmed that had nothing to do with SS4, which is going to be a full SS game.
>>341745567
>>341745683
The rune challenges make the game a bit too easy, (I skip them on repeat playthroughs now) the enemies can occasionally run off somewhere into an arena away from you leading to an annoying hide and seek section, the snapmap isn't a substitute for the classic Doom 1\2 WADs, and the entire multiplayer mode is a big blemish on an otherwise fantastic project.
>>341745697
Pretty sure you'd pay anything if it was as trifling as whatever you wouldn't even pick up off the ground.
>>341746092
>The rune challenges make the game a bit too easy
Personally I thought it was just the weapon upgrades.
I think the rule of thumb in this game is to never look at the map, and simply find secrets as they come. I spent what feels like a little too long looking for shit around the start of the game and now I feel extremely overpowered. Especially with the BFG and fucking chainsaw. They should remove those weapons honestly. Nothing good really comes from "fuck these enemies" panic buttons.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX3ry3NK0E7cPBtjjj5brkQ
>>341746368
But the BFG was ALWAYS a panic button weapon
>>341746092
I think they were for consoles. I could see them being somewhat challenging with a controller.
I didn't really mind though since they were such a small part of the game.
>>341746472
?
And?
>>341746368
I'm fine with those because they're limited used items, and fuel\ammo is scarce enough to be fine. The upgrades too are great additions, simply because they allow the player to customize their playstyle and the only real "overpowered" upgrades are pretty challenging to get.
>>341744925
Because I rented it and wanted to experience all the story before I had to return it. Didn't want to pay 2 dollars a day because I got stuck on a level/boss
>>341746575
I honestly loved em, a lot of them were generally pretty fucking hard, like that one where you have to kill all those enemies with an non upgraded shotgun and only 1 health and a timer
>>341738062
The singleplayer is pretty good, the multiplayer is dog shit.
>>341746575
I'm playing the game with a controller and this is me: >>341746368
>>341746665
>the only real "overpowered" upgrades are pretty challenging to get
They didn't seem like it. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong ones though. The 4th tier plasma cannon (the one you charge up), and the minigun turret mode make extremely short work of enemies.
>>341746575
>>341746763
I miswrote there: My problem isn't the ruin challenges themselves, it's the buffs they give you (like extending your glory kill range or giving you infinite ammo if your armour is over a certain amount.) that make the game too easy.
>>341738062
It's the must fun ive had with a fps in a long time
>>341747131
I guess. I just used exclusively ammo drops up, pickup range up, and air mobility.
another pc franchise ruined by console faggots.
>>341748285
But it doesn't even feel consolized
Has it been cracked yet?
>>341738062
There's a fucking demo.
Download it and try it your fucking self
>>341749294
snapmap
>>341750762
It's pretty neat honestly, I don't understand the hate for it
>>341745275
isnt it a turret shooter?
>>341738062
No co op campaign but SP is fun. Multiplayer a shit and unbalanced for low ranks, high ranks have all guns and the OP Baron Demon form making them unstoppable.
>>341751238
Yeah. Good news is it was just something they shat out for E3 and not SS4.
>>341751236
Snap map isn't a replacement for classic WADs.
>>341743350
>2 differences that otherwise make it worse
JUST
>>341751236
you cant make porn game with it.
>>341738062
would buy just for the music alone
maybe not full price though
>>341751542
>2 differences
Yeah and you are just one difference away from being a fucking plant.
>>341743815
>snapmap would be played more if it wasnt all the same cookie cutter bullshit survival maps being made. Literally everything on there is faggots making shitty survival wave maps theres nothing good or unique enough to hold interest. Not only that but if you save a map YOU CANT MAKE A LOBBY, YOURE FORCED IN AUTOMATICALLY.
So in order to host a map you have to search for the damn thing to host it with your friends/randoms, its a total wash.
>>341744750
>rented it from redbox
Youre begging for a cardboard disc courtesy of Tyrone.
>>341751448
has Hdoom been updated since techdemo7? or whatever one the cyber was added in
>>341751702
More than one difference there m80.
>>341752191
>plant
>not a plant

>>341752036
Honestly I haven't gone back to HDoom after my first exposure to it. Fun for a laugh, but not my thing.
>>341751610
Music is the worst part about the game. It's like they wanted to use metal but watered it down as much as possible.
>>341741948
>Multiplayer is a halo reskin
No, Halo is actually an arena shooter with weapon spawns and sometimes vehicles.
>>341751448
But WADs can run on a calculator, New DOOM would be far more difficult and complex to make something with. New DOOM could use open source mod tools I agree, but SnapMap isn't that bad for normies who just wanna play around and make something neat.
>>341752395
just checked his tumblr anyway
>no update for a year
i just wanna fuck a thicc mancubus
>>341752458
When I turned it off and put on Doom Thrash Metal remixes it was amazing.
>>341738062
There's a demo which has the entire first level, including lore/secrets/retro Doom levels. Just play that for a taste of the SP.
MP sucks dick, so you should only buy it for the campaign (13 levels, so decently sized) and Snapmap
>>341738228
It's $32 at Best Buy if you're a GCU member too. Plus tax, obviously.
>>341740167
It's awful and gets boring quickly.
>>341741948
>>341742695
I'm also a big fan of Halo. It's a Halo copycat, but a shitty Halo copycat. Don't fall for the ruse.
>>341743523
This.
>>341738062
yes it is
very fun in fact
>>341752678
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss8SyOhqk1I
How is this anything but pathetic?
>>341752765
apparently he said there may be an update sometime in june
guell we'll see
>>341740167
That'd be true if Bethesda hadn't outsourced the MP to a shitty studio to save money.
That's why the things in >>341743820 are true.
I believe even id or Bethesda admitted outsourcing the MP was a mistake.
>>341738228
g2a has it for about 35 too
>>341753054
This video is such shit honestly. New Enemies are far more complex and cpu heavy than 2D sprites that occasionally through fireballs.
>>341753605
That's no excuse. The normie things I can think of are filling a room with monster, which you can't do because of the 12 live monster limit, and recreating Doom 1/2/Final Doom maps, which you also can't do because of the 64 monster total limit. And Deathmatch which they've been pushing is limited to 4 players, which is laughable.
>>341753605
I really can't excuse this though. I mean I understand that maps like 10000 revenants and planisphere 2 crashed a lot of computers back in the day but we should still have an option to turn that shit off and make whatever.
Honestly this was probably the biggest way consoles hurt this game.
>40 shekels at best buy
All right, I guess I'll go buy it.
>>341754430
If they turned off the limit for PC would you change your opinion?
>>341754541
Yes. In a heartbeat.
Tbh I played it for an hour and became bored of it. It looks great though and a lot of people love it so maybe I'm just an idiot. But in the end I've launched it only once. The gameplay already felt repetitive and boring within that small timeframe.
>>341738062
The campaign is really really fun.
>>341740167
MP is painfully average. It has it's moments, it's not shit, but it was a bit disappointing.
Yeah, Snapmap is the only thing that feels consolized. They might eventually patch the limit out.
And if you need even more reason to skip the MP, the $40 Battlefront style season pass should tell you everything you need to know.
>>341755868
id is actually in charge of it though so I have hope for it being good
>>341740167
People love to hate on the MP
It's not bad at all
The issue is that it is exactly what you'd expect from any other shooter
>>341750762
Snapmap seems incredibly eh to me.
Like I've looked at it a couple times, but none of the levels I've played have been anything special, and no one is playing any of the MP maps
>>341738062
It's tedious and repetitive shit, playing the same trick over and over again.
MP and SM are shit.
>>341752338
Thanks for reminding me that summer is here.
I thought it was the best FPS in years.
But then again I thought TNO and Shadow Warrior were really mediocre.
>>341757965
Shadow Warrior was reeeeaaally shit honestly
>>341756069
Anon pls.
It might be being worked on by id, but Bethesda's the one who's already decided what's in it.
