DOOM Review Thread - The Fury Road of Shooters
- Thread starter The Flash
- Start date
you do in fact realize that inspiration and creation come from different sources right? Like one source believes completely one thing and another believes something else? So what i am saying is these different sources pool together and create differing results. You act as if you cant accept a world where if one person such as Carmack believes one thing then its an offense to the other developers who believe something else. Lol dude get real.
Here's the thing, I don't even expect porn to have story, and I think that depending on the game story is important.
I've been primarily watching maxed out PC footage at 60 FPS, the game looks excellent and smooth.

Thats a nice still thats not from the actual game. Never understood why these sorta things get brought into convos about the actual games themselves(kinda like using a cutscene).
I watched the nvidia 1080 demo video of the game and it looked fine. I am not saying the graphics are BAD just not impressed by them.

Yeah...in what universe is this game not good looking? It's clearly a great looking game.
The ironic thing is that I think that Bioshock 2 (and Minerva's Den) have the best executed narratives in the entire series yet some people treat Bio2 with such a condescending attitude that it's baffling. Bioshock falls off a cliff in the midway point and never recovers and Infinite's story and universe's logic is so broken it falls apart after you give the bare minimum bit of thought to it. Bioshock 2 on the other hand stays consistent from beginning to end. So not only does Bio 2 have the best gameplay design but also the best executed narrative in my opinion.
Bless you Doom and all the wonderful people who worked on this game.
It could be.

Bad..... ass? As is Doom. I had no expectations for this game to deliver the way it has.
No.
I can definitely agree with that. I think it's a symptom of 1 and infinite reading themselves easy too seriously and trying to deliver a Shyamalan twist while forgetting that a good story is more important than a shocking twist.

Glad to see the positive impressions rolling in.
I can't wait to pick this up soon.

Goodness, this quote is still as stupid as when it first started circulating.
I didn't know bad films could win 6 Oscars.
This quote would have more meaning if John Carmack actually made something in the last decade with any relevance. Blips on the map don't count.

Fury Road of shooters? So...Best shooter of the century?
I didn't expect much after the terrible ass mp beta but man watching videos and reading reviews this is clearly a different beast than what was marketed. Looks fun as hell. Gonna have to buy it soon

Polygon has infiltrated GAF in an attempt to get us to stop laughing at that gameplay video.

That Polygon video is so...adorable. Makes me want to hug the player.
Can't wait to read all full reviews.

This is always a stupid thing to say.
Carmack has done a ton lately, and continues to do so (see: rift). It's just all on the back end because he's an engineer and not a game designer.
If you had problems with RAGE and Doom 3 take it up with Tim Willits, he was lead designer on D3 and creative director of RAGE.

Nah, it would have to be the No Country for Old Men of shooters to be the best shooter of the century.

But it wasn't. I will tell you what movie was though: The live action Rocketeer movie...

Unfortunately I won't ever be able to play the game, but I'm astonished it turned out as good as it has. Early footage made me think they botched the feel of Doom.
you mean the dude whose engineering and programming capability basically invented this current iteration of VR?
GOTTEM!!
Hope the reviews support this game. I've been enjoying myself quite a bit. I hope the intensity picks up but I am just on the second level.

Metro: Mediocre visuals, especially the art design for Hell :O

I think this game will be criminally underrated just like Wolfenstein: TNO and Alien: Isolation.
Neither of those are what would be considered criminally underrated.

DOOM is destined to be underrated, just like DOOM 64 was. It may not even sell very well. The "Fury Road of Shooters" is really the perfect descriptor of DOOM.
I agree it seems a little early to make those kind of statements, but I stand by it. I haven't been this wow'd by a shooter since Half-Life 2 and Halo. It's just gameplay perfection and the fact that it's also a Doom game...just awesome.
I will clarify though and say that I think it's one of the top 5 single player FPS games of all time. I don't do multiplayer, so all those 5 hour campaign's in other games don't even come close. Between Doom's lengthy campaign and the complete badassery of snapmap, it's almost in a league of it's own in terms of single player content.
Word of Mouth is going to do great for Doom

This is what I'm hoping. I was really unsure about this game. But, the campaign is the best shooter campaign I've played in years, so far. Absolutely amazing and a great change of pace if you're use to playing most modern day shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield.
Haven't touched any multiplayer stuff, but even if it turns out awful, the main campaign is worth the price of admission.
A few of my friends have already bought or are playing to buy the game because of Word of Mouth

Do you mean critical response or commercial success? I think the game will sell fairly well. Probably not mega blockbuster, but definitely profitable.

Review scores. Hopefully it will sell. I want a sequel and a Quake revival.

The high reviews it's getting on Steam as well will definitely help. I tend to look at the percent positive on those more often than I do critic reviews these days.
To be fair tho, it was suspected the id tech delay and workflow threw designers under a bus.

But Fury Road is better and also I'm talking best action movie of century anyways breh
Fury Road sucked imo, Doom is seemingly a well made game but I'm dying too often on Nightmare difficulty to comment on repetitiveness. But yea, Fury Road is not one the best recent movies in any genre.
EDIT: Or maybe it is because I really can't think of any recently released movies I overly enjoyed. Force Awakens > Fury Road though imo, even if Force Awakens was probably less creative

thanks for setting the record straight dangerman.
Possibly, but when you really get down to it most of the problems people have with D3 and RAGE come down to purely creative decisions.
For example, I don't know what kind of world we'd live in had Tim Willits not played System Shock 2, but I imagine Doom 3 would have been a much better game for it.
Or RAGE being like 4 different games rolled up into one box and none of it feeling cohesive at all.
Or Call of DOOM. 'Nuff said there, really.
