anyone not playing this on the hardest available difficulty off the hop? also any word on the difficulty names?

I know for a fact that I've seen Hurt Me Plenty and Nightmare listed as difficulty levels, so I'm going to assume that they're keeping with that gimmick.

So basically I can go to snapmap mode and see what monsters are in the game straight away?
I wonder if id put a restriction in place where you'd have to kill those monsters first in the campaign before using them in snapmap, cos I can see a bunch of spider mastermind screenshots appearing straight away on the net and ruining the magic for some.

I think so. It did seem like you have to unlock a few things in SnapMap, which is dumb and was a problem with Mario Maker, but then it also seemed like it was just dumb things like map icons and things, so you might start out with all monsters unlocked or you might have to play campaign or just waste time in SnapMap to unlock them, we dunno.

So far the intro hasn't had many arenas at all which is good, but I think its just because this is the intro level.

Everybody's streaming on console :smith:

Martian surface looks pretty cool at least.

Sorta. Beth kinda has a bad relationship with game journalists, they've gotten into fights with IGN and Kotaku and others over how they reviewed their games, and basically threw a hissyfit and said "you guys ain't ever getting an early review copy ever again :cry:"

With Doom they didn't give anybody an early copy, but even if they did they wouldn't give it to most anybody because of how Bethesda are.

They're just really loving bad at marketing their own games. See our previous discussions.

Yeah it's insane how hard they bungled it. That MP beta was so lame and unremarkable it probably did more harm than good and then they didn't start showing the campaign properly until like three weeks ago. I've been seeing multiple people today post that Nvidia video saying "holy poo poo this game actually looks good maybe????". On the day of the game's release. Like they almost could not have hosed it up harder.

That's actually been an ongoing thing with all Bethesda games, since at least Skyrim. The first time the Bethesda logo plays it's doing something in the background that absolutely cannot be interrupted or paused. It's generally fine afterwards.

You know I never even thought of getting this until watching some early parts of the single player just streaming. This game is so hilariously violent, superhypermuscle bound lead, and it's like the metal video ever. I'm officialy intrigued now. Granted the idea of getting this for SP only is probably really dumb, right?

It honestly seems less dumb than buying it expecting the MP to add any significant amount of value :v:

Why would it be dumb? Buying Wolfenstein: TNO for the single player only wasn't dumb. What would be dumb would be to not buy a good single player game just because it has a lovely multiplayer mode you'll never play anyway.

Of course the dumbest thing of all is being video game studio and spending the resources making a lovely multiplayer mode just for the bullet point for shareholder reports.

Nah that's the only reason to get it. Multi was built by Certain Affinity so it plays like watered-down piss.

If $60 for a singleplayer only game is too much for you I can understand that. But the only reason TO get the game is for the single player only, IMO.

E: And Co-op on SnapMaps, I guess. That could be fun.

I think my plan is to play through the single player campaign, then live in SnapMap for a good long while.

Seems like the only bad thing about it is that you can't string multiple levels together to create your own campaigns as far as we know.
