[JonnyKong]

Huh, I found the final boss easier than the other two.

Anyway, currently trying to decide if I dare brave online.

 

[Mr. Sam]

I'm right near the end of the game I think and I still haven't found the super shotgun.

I honestly don't know how that's possible. I got it, at the absolute latest, about a third of the way through the game.

Ooh, the shotgun even reloads the classic way

 

[aku:jiki]

Is there a known issue/solution with controller movement on PC? I'm trying to use my 360 controller and there's this annoying thing where my guy will randomly stop/slow down, sort of like I'm stepping in and out of heavy mud or something in a game with rough terrain...except I don't think this game has rough terrain? Pretty annoying to run up to a jump only to have him slow down right at the precipice, or suddenly stopping in the middle of dodging and shooting...

(Messed around with all the settings I can think would apply, already tried 3 controllers and I thought about tweaking the deadzone with Durazno but I don't think that'd apply here.)

 

[Spehornoob]

So this is the best shooter campaign I've played in years.

I'm even having fun with the multiplayer, though I hope they eventually patch in a "no loadouts, weapons placed around the map" mode.

Man, I hope fast paced shooters like this are making a comeback.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Is anyone using the latest NVIDIA drivers? I need to make sure they're stable, since I've heard too much about drivers from both companies screwing up fan speeds, clocking, and generally putting your hardware at risk.

They'd better be. But we need a new franchise instead of bringing back old names over and over.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Just picked this up the the Steam sale and whew, Bethesda SP shooters are knocking it out of the fucking park.

 

[FanarnarBoi]

Just finished the campaign on Ultra-Violence. Absolutely adored it from start to finish. Now I'm waiting on Bethesda to release the OST.

 

[jambo]

Had a look at SteamSpy and DOOM is about to hit 750,000 copies on Steam!

 

[DMTripper]

Finished the campaign last night on PC and had a really good time! Only issue I had was my FPS on the 2nd to last level, but apparently it's well known. Had to put settings on low just for that section.

Haven't played mp at all and don't think I'll bother but plan to unlock all the original levels. Only found two on my play through.

 

[derFeef]

Is the patch out yet?

 

[nubbe]

I'm enjoying the classic doom weapon position more than I thought I would... probably because it feels easier to aim when the weapon is in the center... for some reason

 

[pa22word]

Is the patch out yet?

It is on PC!

[Sourtreats]

This is probably going to sound dumb, but where do you find the photo mode? I can't seem to find it in game.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

The shotgun is fun in classic view. Assault rifle feels kind of unwieldy.
Also, why does Sentry mode have to be so useless? The chaingun already has a problem being an efficient weapon even with the incendiary rounds bonus, all Sentry mode does is make sure you're wasting more ammo even faster.

This is probably going to sound dumb, but where do you find the photo mode? I can't seem to find it in game.

It's supposed to be an option on the pause menu. I haven't checked.

 

[kris.]

just played my first multiplayer match. went 13/13, with like a minute of it being me afk getting food. that was a fucking blast. i could get sucked into this.

 

[GavinUK86]

To access Photo Mode you have to replay a chapter from the main menu, then enable it in the game options. Click the left stick to trigger it.

 

[MortosDer]

So, I started the game a couple of days ago on Ultra Violence. Got my ass handed to me way before

Spoiler

The Foundry

but managed to get there until I was forced to tone all the way down the difficulty . Today I started a new game on Hurt Me Plenty so I could show it to a friend of mine. I few minutes in and I realize this is being too easy. Went back to UV and haven't died once. Just reached

Spoiler

The Foundry

Well see what happens this time around.

Ultra-Violence is the best difficulty, just like in the original games. Nightmare is a little too reliant on optimizing every fight and/ or spamming Glory Kills, since it turns Imp fireballs into some of the most dangerous attacks in the game.

 

[derFeef]

So I restarted the game after I got the dev mode bug (hooray it's fixed now!) and the game felt a bit more difficult to me on UV. I died like 3 times on the first level... vs. not a single one upon playing it for the first time. Did they tweak around a bit?

 

[Moff]

really like the new weapon holding

I also finished the lazarus labs without a crash so there's hoping that's fixed as well

 

[T.O.P]

The Division Expansion, SFV Update, Overwatch update, INSIDE waiting to be played, all the shit i bought on the Steam Sales

And i here i am finishing Doom for the sixth time :|

The classic weapon holding is goat

 

[Darkdeus]

So reddit thought these were "cringy" but I thought I'd share anyway. I was showing my wife the new photomode and she decided to caption some of my shots.

Nice shots! Can't wait to mess around with photo mode

I liked the captions

Brilliant. Had me laughing.

 

[Moff]

I have 5 new hidden achievements on steam, are those new?
I could have sworn I had them all except 2

aren't the hidden achievements all for story stuff? I still have those unlocked

edit: apparently they are for the new multiplayer dlc

 

[Easton Dark]

17 hours to 100% except for those 5 new multiplayer achievements no one can get. Three crashes, all after the June 30th patch.

Pretty good game. Very glad they made it. Ultra-Violence is definitely well-balanced.

My favorite glory kill is when you rip an imp's head in half vertically while you have the berserk power up.

 

[Dmax3901]

So I'm going back through picking up everything I've missed. When it comes to the enemy gauges that you fill up as you kill demons... How does that work when going back through?

Do I have to kill everything again, or ... just the ones I missed? I'm a little confused.

no you have to kill everything again, it resets when you restart a mission from the mission select menu

Cool thanks.

 

[lazygecko]

The centered weapon view really suffers from the size of the guns. They just take up too much screen estate compared to the original Doom where they're further down the edge of the screen. They need to add an option to modify the Y offset or something.

 

[zooL]

Yeah I thought I would LOVE the centered view due to the retro-ness, but somehow it felt odd and I needed to switch it back to get better at the game again. Still love the game like Metroid Prime 1, which happens every decade or so... please please make DOOM 2 and concentrate on the single player again!

 

[Mindlog]

Hey. This game is really good.

 

[Spehornoob]

So... guys... I actually like the multiplayer.

I mean it has major flaws. I wish the demon runes were only in certain game modes and I wish weapons were placed on the map instead of in loadouts, but I seriously have a lot of fun playing it anyway!

Yeah, me too. Although I always thought it was more of a nice gimmick. The guns look too long though, looks weird.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I don't know what did it, but DOOM just hit 800k sold, it's sitting at 810k actually.

Now we just wait for DOOM II.....

Seems low for a game this good.

I just reached the last boss in n hurt me plenty and it's freaking tough. I can't imagine beating this game in any harder difficulty level...

It's going at a very good pace, and remember this isn't just on PC, it's been over the million mark for a long time now lol

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Oh ho ho, center weapon is so good. It looks totally wrong but feels so right during gameplay. Rocket launcher centered is so fucking Quake!

 

[lazygecko]

Other games like Total Warhammer and Dark Souls 3 have outsold Doom by a good margin on PC alone though. I think it just goes to show how counter-productive Bethesda's marketing has been, considering the amount of weight their company has compared to Creative Assembly/Sega and From Software/Bandai Namco.

 

[Glass Shark]

Finished the campaign last night. I am honestly shocked at how good this game turned out.

 

[scitek]

There's no way to find the exit on the map once you've gotten to it once, is there?

After getting to it, then backtracking to find secrets I'm totally lost and can't find it again :\

Um, kill yourself? Maybe the last checkpoint is near the exit.

Or watch a YouTube playthrough, maybe.

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

Still no official release for soundtracks?

 

[mcz117chief]

Have they already fixed the glitch with the pistol not shooting and the terrible alpha effects for plasma rifle yet? I haven't played for a month and now I see some 2gb patch. Did they fix any of those?

edit: no, they didn't....siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

 

[Ixion]

Pretty cool alt cover I found:

 

[Manu]

I've been playing this almost nonstop since last Friday. I can't get over how good this game is, and I don't even usually like FPS that much. It reminds me of old shooters, not just Doom (of course,) but stuff like Quake and Unreal too. I love the movement, the speed, the verticality, the gore. It's also amazing how great it looks and runs in PS4 and how well it controls with the DS4. Usually in other games I hate arena-based design, and when you reach an area where you know enemies are gonna spawn at any time I just sigh. Here? I'm like BRING IT ON, FUCKERS, LET'S DO THIS.

I love, LOVE this game.

Multiplayer is "eh". Generic as fuck but not as bad as I was led to believe.
