I've been seeing a lot of misconception about Doom on this board. People have been either treating it as a broken piece of shit, or one of the best games ever made. Both of these accusations are fucking retarded in their own ways, and should overall be ignored. I just want to give my opinions about the new game and create a bridge between the two conclusions. Really, if you are thinking about making this game a purchase, look over this first
First off, do not, and I mean DO NOT, judge this game on its multiplayer. It was outsourced to guys who made Call of Duty Ghosts and ex-Bungie employees, people who were fired for a fucking reason. The multiplayer is 100% cancer, and you should not touch it or even think about it. Its only their to harvest more money off of idiots. Multiplayer feels nothing like the singleplayer does at all, and should be disregarded. Also, Snapmap uses a lot of the same features of multiplayer, and is pretty limited in potential and tech, so its best to avoid that as well
Now, to put it nicely, Doom 4 is... above average. Its nowhere near the best game ever like idiots claim, but by god its not the worst game ever made. Its simply an average title in a wave of games that are 100x better and more newsworthy. If you get a choice between playing this, or playing Dark Souls 3, pick Dark Souls 3.
1/4
The game does plenty of things good. The pace is decent, a LOT better than the E3 trailer and god-awful Multiplayer beta, and moves the game at a fine speed. The music is... decent, and the graphics are amazing. Holy shit, this game is 100% pure eye candy. Considering the E3 trailer showed off a pissfilter, the fact this game has some of the most vibrant levels and colors I've seen in a while shows that care was put into this games graphical design. The guns are another thing this game does fucking amazingly. They're all amazing weapons to fire off and kill enemies with, and the upgrades actually make them even better! And while I thought the glory kills were going to be a problem, they are easily ignored and don't have to be used. But, this is sadly where the positives end.
The start of the game is boring. It is really, REALLY fucking slow and boring. The beginning levels consist of weak-level enemies with slow AI in tiny hallways and arenas. It takes about a good hour before the game gets decent. Yes, that is right, it takes an HOUR, for the game to actually throw you into the action. That is absolutely abysmal. However, when you do get thrown into action, its still not good enough.
The level design is, without a doubt, what tanks this game. Don't get me wrong, the labyrinth design and secret hunting is great, and shows SOMEBODY cared about this game, but you can't really say that counts when everything else is simply okay. As I said before, the game has arena segments where you are thrown into a room and have to fight off 10-20 enemies. Its not "6-7" like some faggots claim it is, but really, its not that many at all. These segments wouldn't be so bad if the levels weren't so tight and so baron, locking you in a room to fight off. It has no progression, no sense of speed, and is only hectic in the sense that you're just in an arena fighting off enemies, which is the gameplay equivalent of jumpscares in horror games. Its all cheep thrills.
2/4
>1/4
I think you already made your point clear with that first post
Another problem with the game are the sizes with the room. The rooms are too fucking huge for the amount of enemies they have stored in them. I'm not saying it should be tight hallways and rooms with nothing but Cyberdemons in them, not at all, but seriously, it felt like I was playing Doom 3 at times, which is the absolute worst feeling to have. The levels were giant rooms with shit scattered everywhere, pathways you can walk around and explore. This may sound good, but the problem was these rooms only had a few enemies each in them. And when I say few, I mean the distance between each enemies is insane. It will feel like you are only fighting 2-3 enemies at a time, as you will constantly have to navigate the giant rooms to pick off a few enemies. Having to explore these giant, empty rooms while picking off enemies every once a few minutes got boring really fast.
The only time I can really say the game got crazy were these rare moments when the game did throw you into a hallway or corridor with a few meaty enemies. These parts really showed off the games potential for high speed, intense action with amazing gunplay. But, showing potential is all it can do, as they have some glaring problems. First off, they're not hard, at all. Just run around and dodge for a little bit while getting in a safe distance to fire is the key to these fights, and its really not that hard of a task. Second, these fights end way to quickly, and when they end, you are most likely thrown right into the slow paced corridors again, or maybe the empty room once more. And third, compared to the original Doom, its nothing special at all.
3/4

If you stand right next to him, you can circle left and dodge any attack without needing to roll. For some reason he just can't turn quick enough mid attack animation.
Hey /v/, do you mind taking a look at this for a second?
Sorry, can't help you with that.

>>337839542
Oh, is this a present for me? That's so nice of you!
Ahh yeah, Dark Souls II baby. I've been working my way through the PS3 versions of the Souls games. I've put DeS and DaS1 behind me (beat them).
Dark Souls II has me a bit wary, I guess that it doesn't have the best reputation. I also lack the instruction manual for it whereas I had it for the first games (Yeah I still use those).
So let us reflect on Dark Souls II, what am I in for? Why is it the bastard child of the series? How is it different from DeS and DaS1?
Let the game begin.
you type like a fag
How about you play it for yourself and form your own fucking opinions.
>>337839368
your post made me cringe a bit..
however
dark souls 2 is great, truly. anyone on this board that tells you its "shit" is just a fucking 16 year old trying to fit in. If you liked demons souls and dark souls 1 you will love this game. dont fall for the memes and just play it yourself
Should I buy a second hand PS3 and play through that generation? I more or less missed out on it due to life getting in the way and have a lot of free time and not that much money.
Seems like a good idea.
>>337839256
Yeah I got a modded ps3 and have been chugging through games. I thought it was worth it.
>>337839256
There's not really anything to play. Especially since some of the good ones are on PS4 also.
I did it. It was fun.
DLC WHEN
>>337839395
What do you want the DLC to cover, /v/?
I'm hoping for something more in depth on Yuria and her cult of hollows, and maybea way to marry her instead.An actual Abyss Watchers covenant would be nice too.
>>337839627
I want more info on Ludleth and also the story behind Gwynevere and the angel worship.
I can't wait tohear the soundtrack

Why is it okay when Kojima does it?
It isn't. MGS 4 is a piece of shit and anyone who honestly believes it's better than any other Metal Gear Solid game, or even anything approaching quality, should fuck off immediately.
It's only bad when sony does it.
Because dumb weebs
daily reminder no one can see above 15 fps
Another PC shill.
The human eye can only see 5fps. Fuck off with your false information
Pfft, you don't need more than 10fps.
>>337838942
You don't need more than one frame ever
As evidenced by this 1fpe post.

U k senpai?
Sitting here bored, I wonder why people that are presumably young adults care so much about middle school bullshit. I haven't seriously debated or argued or whatever about console wars since I was 10.
Whats the point of this roster if mostly everyone plays wesker doom and vergil
What is this, a roster for Ant-Man?
>>337838241
I played Super Skrull, She-Hulk, Haggar, and Tron.
Really fun combos with those guys.
