Apparently the chainsaw utilizes ammo and is used to insta-kill enemies at the cost of said ammo; the beefier the target, the more ammo it costs. Also any kind of coordination with goons turns this game into a hilarious, one-sided massacre:  the 25:1 Kill-to-Death ratio wasn't even my highest.

That first game, the 75-15(ish?) tdm, was the grossest poo poo. But yeah, coordinating the powerups is super important, the only times we weren't totally stomping was when the enemy got them first. edit: I heard some guns are MP only? If the static rifle is MP only I'm gonna be upset it's so good and fun. Dog Fat Man Chaser fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Apr 18, 2016 |

elf help book posted:This game is a throwback fps. Back to the middle of last console generation, when every game had lovely mp no one cared about tacked on. Yeah I remember that happening to both Wolfenstein 2009 and Bioshock 2, both had half-assed MP modes attached to them that were nothing like the single player experience, which is why I still have hope about Doom 4's single player campaign(and Snap Map)

The really sad thing is that I don't know if its something that really could be avoided. The old Doom gameplay is just too wedded to the Keyboard and Mouse at this point, its hard to replicate with a gamepad IMO, and considering PC focused big budget shooters aren't really a thing anymore... Unfortunately a very late Halo killer is probably the closest they can get to Doom's old style that also works on the platforms its focused on.

I think that the game was fun but didn't really astound me. I don't know why you can be a purple colored marine in a doom game. It really just made me want to play the unreal remake beta. I really really hate scripted execution type moves as they always seem cheap. Why script an execution move when that should be happening organically through shooting someone in the head with a shotgun and watching them explode. The main thing is the mp seemed ok yet there isn't any reason to play an ok fps. I'd rather just play csgo or insurgency

I had la ot of fun with the open beta I could be screaming and launching rockets for days but now its over and what is left? no more doom battleborn or overwatch and there are no good games until May 24th when Overwatch comes out although I am excited for the single player of Doom I dont care for the multiplayer really so whatever TDM is stupid and is bads unless you are in a clan no one is any good anyways its all subjective my friend told me the other day "thats all well and good that you got a keyboard and mouse for your console but a gamepad is for gaming, a keyboard and mouse is for word processing" I deleted him after 10 years of being "best friends" gently caress you man no one talks poo poo about computer gaming in my house he wasnt even at my house but Doom was a lot of fun while playing the beta. I don't know maybe you played more since you said you put 15 hours in guy from earlier post but you probably aren't a real Doom fan do yo even have a Doom tattoo on your dork? Unless your penis says "Knee deep in the dead' its hard to consider you a fan

Is it like COD just because there's loadouts? Because I can sort of more accept loadouts in a Star Wars game (there's like six different Imperial trooper suits in the original trilogy alone) than I can a sequel to the game where everybody spawned with a pistol every time.

Doom is fun, and the mechanics of the multiplayer really give me hope for the single player. The fact there is no sprinting and you just run fast all the time is important because that lack of "realism" is a pretty goddamn big indicator of how they approached the game. The health/ammo/armor pickups instead of recharging health is big too, especially in the wake of Wolfenstein The New Order. I feel this is made by people who loved the original Doom games and are trying to make something inspired by them instead of "re-imagining" Doom like with Doom 3. I do not think there will be extended sequences with little to no enemies, or half assed jump scares, or a stupid flashlight. Yeah it could still suck, the multiplayer may not get tweaked and improved, and the single player might be too short and samey. But my takeaway from the beta is that I'm optimistic for the final product. The sound design is definitely a big weak point, but that can be somewhat fixed/improved. Weapon balance can be fixed as well for MP. poo poo that cannot be changed, like the level and gun design and poo poo looks good to me, and I'm happy with the initial examples. I mean yeah they might totally gently caress it up and poo poo, I would not be horribly surprised, but I feel like I'm not sure what people want out of this, based on some of the complaints.

You have to remember that the original IWADs were built around the idea that they'd be enjoyable and beatable on a number of different control formats - from keyboard only, to those gameport gamepads that only a d-pad and 2 buttons, to flight sim type sticks, to mouse and keyboard but only horizontal aiming. It makes them more amenable to different control schemes then WADs designed 20 years on for people who are top-tier players on mouse and keyboard with complete freelook.

I just wish the rocket launcher wasn't part of them. if it was up to me, I'd like it if there was something like 2 tiers of weapon pickups. Let people start with loadout stuff like a chaingun and the single barrel shotgun, pistol, chainsaw etc. Those can have the same feel as the weapons stand now. Then have tier 1 of weapon pick ups be the rocket launcher, double barrel, plasma, rail gun. They wouldn't be difficult to grab but still limited in a way resembling old arena games. And they can kill people quicker than the weapons stand at the moment. Then let demons and big big weapons be the same as they are. So when the game starts you're in babby's first COD and as it progresses and people get weapons it speeds up and becomes more Q3A-ish.

As decent as this game is, I don't really see why you wouldn't just play UT4 instead. That game is great and I'm playing it more and more now. One of the great things about arena FPS games is that they haven't fallen prey to the modern take on teamwork in multi-player games; where you can't really do anything unless you have a team of people helping you. Arena FPS and fighting games are great because your own skills will take you very far indeed (but you can also play some nice teamwork-mode if you don't feel like deathmatch). It helps that it looks really nice. You can take a random screenshot of the finished maps and be impressed.

Even the horribly racist asshat creator of brutal doom knows you shouldn't be able to TKO/QTE every monster you come across. And he has cool poo poo like ripping arms off to use as weapons, at least. Then, all I can think when watching these gameplay videos is how slow and plodding all the monsters are, how they have terrible aim, and waste time doing poo poo like taunting/yelling at you when you're right next to them.

Then when you do kill them they explode with ammo/health pickups for guns that the monster isn't even using? But, if that's not easy enough we're gonna slowpause the game for you while you switch weapons, console peasant. And not to mention it looks like monsters just leave you alone while you're performing a scripted kill? (Ah sorry, there I go again making GBS threads on something that looks so promising) Kazvall fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Apr 18, 2016 |

I have no comment on Single Player until I try it out but I'm hopeful. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a "Classic Doom" option (or even a mod later on) that brought the game in line with older titles. Also, if you guys haven't played it Doom 64 is really cool and worth playing. There's a PC mod port you can get for free if you have Doom 2 as well.
