Okay I take it back, the pistol just doesn't even exist in SnapMap :psyduck: there's a few things in single player that they need to patch in to SnapMap like, right away.

Still, so far I'm having a blast with this. Its way better than Rage and its what they should have done instead of Doom 3.

Just dropped 20 cacodemons in a single room, so you can create some NUTS.wad if you want to but not quite on the level of Doom 1 obviously. Used up about 30% of the "demons" budget, which means we may run low on the total number of monsters for a whole map but at least rooms can be full of a lot of dudes and there's no limit like "you only fight 5 dudes at a time" or anything, the game engine seems to handle big groups well.

You can build in some AI triggers to respawn them as well to help with the monster count.

Protip: single monster spawners can get around the placed demon limit.

Lots of stuff is still being looked at for SnapMaps.

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.

See I was under the impression that the MP was supposed to be the big deal versus the SP. That's good to know. It looks like a fun.

Shame I'll have to get it for consoles, but no way in the world is this going to run on my pc...well it would as low probably, but GTX 460 isn't going to do too much. :lol:

Bethesda's marketing department put emphasis on the loving godawful MP instead of focus on the singleplayer and more importantly failed to show it being played correctly

Yowza, yeah 460 is getting long in the tooth and wasn't super powerful to begin with. Well, as much as I and a lot of the old school gamer crew :corsair: think that pc is superior and this is a game that should be played on Mouse & Keyboard, they did a great job of the port (since consoles are such a bigger customer base :smith:) and the only real difference seems like the mouse and keyboard.

The graphics look just as amazing on console, it runs at a very high frame rate on console, and console even gets snapmap!

Oh yeah I was constantly amazed I was able to run The Division on it. It's actually held out nicely since it was part of a system build down with DX HR in mind. But yeah eventually I'm going to have to do get build something new.

It's nice to know the port is done well.

If you buy the game from behind a VPN do you have to stay connected to it until the "official" release in your time zone or just until you download and launch it for the first time?

Boot the game with the VPN up, drop the VPN, should be good to go from there. Not sure if it'll hassle you if you close it and re-open it but I don't think it will, pretty sure once its decrypted its decrypted.

Can you fire the super shotgun one barrel at a time? Some of the Doom wads I've been playing lately do that and I really like it for some silly reason.

I haven't gotten the SSG yet, but all weapons have a customizable alt-fire. The pistol has a charge shot, the single shotty has some upgrade but I don't have it yet so I dont' even know what the options are going to be.

SSG having a single barrel fire mode would make sense. Can't say that its that way for sure, but def could be.

Yeah when Doom 3 first came out my computer at the time couldn't run it for poo poo. It was Crysis before Crysis.

Now I have money though and a fancy 970 so I'm playing this at 1440 on max settings at 100+ fps :) oh yeah g-sync baby

I feel the same way--you're usually able to fire one barrel after the other faster than two shots from the pump shotgun, so it gives you a lot more flexibility and speed with follow-up shots, but you're still limited by the two rounds. It gives the super shotgun a lot more versatility without eclipsing the pump shotgun.

^ The jumping puzzles really aren't that bad lol it's literally one spot and in retrospect it was mega obvious because they've done that like 20 times before then for secrets

Ended up having to turn some poo poo down to high once I got to hell, they really did not hold back. Could probably get away with it if I wasn't also streaming :haw:

I just found references to other monsters in Doom 4 that I didn't see in SnapMap, they might have been cut during development but its also possible there's more stuff :)

There's a few different flavors of "possessed" which are the new zombies, not sure if any of them has a hitscan attack though. I think one of them has a gun?

Most of the enemies definitely do not have hitscan attacks but I prefer it that way, more that you can duck and weave around. As long as they're still threatening and toss lots of fireballs or whatever at you that's fine by me.
