>go to Polygon to see what they say about Doom
>mfw see this
>Doom is very violent, in case you weren't aware. It's all kinetic shooting with very graphic kills that have blessedly been toned down somewhat from their original gruesome debut at last year's E3. The so-called "Glory Kills" — a fancy name for melee executions available when an enemy takes enough damage — are no longer quite so drawn-out and torturous. Instead, a glory kill takes about two seconds to finish, long enough to be savage but not the extended gore porn that made me a little queasy when I first saw the game in 2015.
>That suggests a level of sophistication to Doom's storytelling that isn't present, though. Despite what you may have heard, there is story in Doom, to be sure. But some competent voice acting aside, it's a trifle, an occasionally intrusive scaffolding to hang monsters and guns from without being questioned too much. It's a shame that Doom doesn't have much of a plot other than kill demons, which hearkens back to long past days of old video games. But it's 2016 now and gamers expect rich storytelling in their games and Doom has basically none and your marine shows no character progression which is a huge missed opportunity.

Seems like a non issue to me. If it is the reviewer playing, then he or she at least is providing evidence of how they experienced the game. If it is someone else capturing the footage, then there is even less to comment on. I'm sure you can watch other people play the game much more competently, if that's what you're into.

Better yet, get the game for yourself and make your partner's panties sopping wet by showing the how fucking good you are at playing video games.

The AI is so garbage it doesn't even matter if you do all the extra movements linke in the Nvidia footage.
This shit is designed around controllers so everything moves slow as fuck and shooting+moving at the same time is not required at all, the AI will wait for you to stand in place and take pop shots and also flinch from every shot leaving HUGE "takedown windows" open where you can finish them off with absolute zero skill required and while being invincible.

That's the elephant in the room which is getting ignored in these threads.

I'm playing it on nightmare and if you stop moving for even 2 seconds your lifebar is going from 100 to 30 almost guaranteedly.
I have died more times to this shit in 2 hours than in my entire gameplay of dark souls 3.

For example, a single imp fireball does 35 damage, and that's the normal attack, not the charged one.

So yeah, I'd say it's pretty difficult. I love people complaining about reviews made for non gamers then see a retard commenting here based on videons instead of actual gameplay.

My complain is character speed, he's not slow but definetly not fast enough for a Doom game...

I'm going to be frank. This video was technically stunning.

Those hitboxes are fucking TIGHT. She was literally shooting a hair away from the enemy and her bullets missed every time. I didn't see a single one of her bullets magically land on the enemies after barely missing them.
>>
>>337553112
I don't get it. Why the fuck do reviewers always play the fucking game on consoles? Why the gameplays are always running on fucking consoles and console controllers?

It's easier to record gameplay on PC. The game looks better on PC. The game fucking controls better on PC.

Of course it was. The review is all about how icky the kills are too.

>>337558052

Nope, it was one of Polygon's nuMale journos playing it
>>
>>337558065
Oh no, the faster melee kills is a "rune" upgrade which you get by doing these "rune challenge rooms". I don't know when you get it, might be pretty late in the game considering I've not found it yet.

So hate to disappoint but melee kills are still about 2-3 seconds without that upgrade.
>>
>>337558153
Because AI in the original doom was GREAT, right?

The monsters are constantly moving and jumping, it's hard to predict their pattern.

Suit upgrades for dexterity. He can climb ledges faster, swap weapon mods faster and swap weapons faster. All that along with a Rune upgrade for faster melee kills but your basic movement speed is the same.

IIRC there are 5 difficulty modes for the game. It's possible he was playing on the easiest and the hardest increases movement speed.

For a game like Doom I can see an easy mode made to make enemies easier to shoot at.

I have actually died to melee imp attacks.

Enemies typically try to attack you from afar, with imps being more "acrobatic" and agile while possesed soldiers usualy try to come closer.
They use melee if in range.

Zombies are slow and mindless, they only react when you are close enough and then do their melee attack (which, by the way, does a fuck ton of damage, i'm talking about 40 dmg here).

idk, maybe is just my impression but when you play the game it doesnt feel slow... and you are pretty busy dodging all the shit they throw at you.

As i said, I would prefer more movespeed. And maybe the arena-thing is being abused?
Play it on nightmare (launch option +menu_advanced_AllowAllSettings 1) and I guarantee you deaths.
It's not like Wolfensten TNO where über was basically normal difficulty, here death is one mistake away everytime.

I hope game gets a bit more manageable when you get more weapons and options to engage in combat.

Like if you're the editor of the website, or even the guy who uploads footage, surely you'd look at that recording and know that it's not fit for purpose.

Unless the person who recorded it just uploaded it without submitting it for quality assurance first. But then it has the little Polygon overlays so SOMEONE had to have looked at it.

What's the thought process here? I'm tempted to say it's an intentional bad recording just to stir controversy.

There's also a Rune upgrade so melee kills = health + armor too.

On the bright side, you can only equip a certain amount of Rune upgrades so you don't have to use it
>>
>>337560482

The QTE kills are more useful as I-frames when you're overwhelmed. They don't give that much more health than a normal kill.

In gameplay it works surprisingly well. It's not disruptive at all.
>>
>>337560767
that's the thing tho.
you should die if you get yourself overwhelmed.

one of the things i've always liked about uncharted is that during the melee fights you're always vulnerable
you're stationary (mostly) punching something to finish it quickly or save ammo, you don't get to be invincible because of it.

>>337560975

There's no difficulty problem in the game man. Play it on hard and it's hardly casual friendly.

I'm saying man the QTE kills are really not offensive at all.
