I haven't been this excited about a DOOM game in years.

Bring it on!

 

[superNESjoe]

So the game does have big labyrinth style levels, with keycards?

Like, is it actually like Doom?

 

[cyberheater]

Smoooooooooth.

Fab. I'll get that version then. My GTX970 misses out on another game.

So far...yes

Man. I'm LOVING the stage layouts. Feels so good finding secrets.

First review is up on opencritic - http://opencritic.com/game/1572/doom

 

[TheMan]

Glad to see all the positive impressions. I feel like this is a make or break game for id so here's hoping these impressions arent just early adopter syndrome and that their hard work translates into strong sales.

 

[daedalius]

Tomorrow the collectors edition will be mine!!!

Can't wait to play after reading some of these impressions, I might need to finish Heretic tonight just to calm the thirst.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Any idea how long of a campaign we're looking at? Impressions sound great thus far.

 

[Arkanius]

I've tried two different VPN's, Steam still knows I'm in Europe.
The heck?

I'm sure Im not logged in into anything else

Any tips?

EDIT:

GUYS CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. IT WILL FORCE STEAM TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR NEW LOCATION.

UNPACKING

 

[red731]

I don't need it.
I DON'T NEED IT.

MUST SAVE DOLLA BILLS
CAN'T BUY IT NOW

It's different to Doom in that it's more vertical, due to being able to jump. But the levels are fairly complex; lots of tucked away secrets, not always being obvious where you need to go. And yes, keycards, sometimes multiple ones.

[kinggroin]

The Doom series has never had respawning enemies.

Spoiler

Other than the arch-vile.

Im sure this game will never have it either.

What in the fuck are you talking about, haha

 

[potatohead]

The concept of the release date in the digital universe is making me very angry.

I have the game, yet I cannot play it.

Fuck fairness, let me play nao!

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Went through an arena fight, then fell to death looking for secrets and had to do the entire thing over.

The good news is that the fight was fun enough that I didn't mind it.

 

[Onemic]

ummm they dont?

enemies have never naturally respawned in doom games.

EDIT: Whoops, my bad. If you look right above the post I quoted, there is a poster saying no in response to a user asking if enemies respawn lol. I thought you were replying to that.

20 to 25 hours on UV.

Nightmare difficulty.

In nightmare difficulty they did

That first review said 16 hrs, but without going on a collectathon. This is apparently a beefy campaign.

 

[Rösti]

I would very much like to play this game but without a demo I can test to see if I can run it, I will hold off purchase. The multiplayer beta I tried, but couldn't get that running (was a common error I saw many people experience).

 

[Onemic]

Nightmare difficulty.

oh ya, I forgot about that difficulty setting.

 

[Mr Swine]

I'm glad Doom is getting good positive feedback and one good review, I really hope this sells well so Idsoftware can create a single player DLc and sequel to this (Hell on Earth please)

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

What reason is there to choose the lower FOV settings on PS4? Does the framerate improve?

My biggest complaint about W:TNO was the horrible FOV. Felt like I had tunnel vision the entire time.

Except in nightmare mode.

There is no reason to lower the fov. Solid 60 at 110.

fuck yes

Second that. It's aweeeeesoooome

 

[Digital-Hero]

I would like some reviews before I go buy the PS4 version. You guys are making me excited though.

Do they use E1M1 music

Spoiler

more than just the intro?

 

[AndyMoogle]

But since the game uses a dynamic resolution I would assume it stays at a lower resolution more with a higher FOV.

 

[Helscream]

Heavy Metal, lots of firepower, and a Hell of alot more demons to kill.

Bring it the fuck on.

 

[Freeman76]

I heard some calssic levels have been added with updated graphics etc?

 

[ChoklitCow]

Never had issues with release date shipping with Amazon before. Hopefully it works out. CS was helpful:

Just finished the third mission. Loving the level design, hope it keeps up.

A friend of mine has had release date delivery issues with the past 3 games he's ordered from Amazon. Ranging from 2-6 days late.

Oh gawd. I had switched completely to Amazon because of Prime for about a year now. Maybe back to Best Buy club instead.

They acted like this to me with Uncharted 4. It still arrived on time, but they tried to tell me they didn't ship until the release day.

Yeah, I just can't think of any reason they would even give you the option to set it to 90 if there wasn't some sort of performance improvement.

 

[Movalpolos]

What is it set to by default on pc?

Zoomed in for couch gaming.

How are the loading screens? One of my biggest gripes in Doom 3 was the loading screens. This was for the XBox mind you, but loading screens have always been a make or break issue for me in videogames. The loading screens used in Arkham Asylum and City are the sweet spots for me. Likewise for The Last of Us. Anything longer than that is a deal breaker for me. Dead Rising 1 and 2 are examples of this. Even the Netherealm fighting games feel bogged down by their loading screens. How comparable is Doom to these games? I'm a console gamer and debating whether to buy this game or not. If I do decide to buy this game, should I go with PS4 or XBox One?

would you be you playing on console or PC? I'm playing PC and for me I'm pretty sure it's like 10 seconds tops getting into a game from start up and then level changes. cant recall any loading at all once you're in a level.

 

[Spoo]

Damn. Just finished the first

Spoiler

hell level

and it was pretty crazy on ultraviolence.

Haven't had this much fun with FPS combat since FEAR

PS4 has less tearing and is less susceptible to dynamic resolution changes supposedly.
