lol it figures all the naysayers in this thread would be completely wrong. This game is so loving good it hurts.

To be honest, the naysayers probably only saw the Console stuff, which is... eh. Nvidia did a better tech demo etc. As for me, I'll certainly be grabbing the PC version after I get my check and a stick of RAM. I was gonna wait until I get a 970 but people say "it's fine with a 750Ti" so... :shrug:

If I want a face paced, arena-ish shooter with a emphasis on speed and poo poo loads of gore, is this the game for me? The original demos didn't excite me, but the recent ones are intriguing.

If so, where is a cheap place to get a steam key post-release?

Game's above average, better than I was expecting. Could stand to be a little more colourful and a bit faster. Also this shotgun has to be one of the worst I've seen in a while.

Couple of gigs left to go on my download! I'd say I'm getting pretty psyched, but they already released that game a few years back...

Meanwhile, here's a brief look at the music.

oh my god i saw 5 minutes (skipped story/dialogue poo poo only watched combat) and i'm pretty sure a blind person could have better accuracy. that was painful to watch.

Do they... Do they even know what a game is? What a controller is? They have the "move around" idea right and sure seem to understand what the trigger button does but move AND aim? What sorcery is that?

Funny how console footage of multiplat games can make them look so bad, doesn't help that most pre release footage we get is played by the worst players i've ever seen that somehow also review the games.

To those interested in trying to extract the music from the game (because its so loving GOOD!!!)

I used Ravioli Game Tools to extract the .wwise_a files, and then a tool called wwise_ima_adpcm (it's the sound converter one)

Open ravioli, point it at the streamed_sfx.pck in your /DOOM/base/sound/soundbanks/pc/ folder and have it output wherever

Copy wwise_ima_adpcm.exe to the output folder (mine was called sfx)

Throw this garbage script into a dicks.bat file, and save it in the new sfx folder that ravioli made, then run it and wait
code:
for %%f in (*.wwise_a) do wwise_ima_adpcm -d %%f %%f.wav && DEL &&f
pause
Eventually it will finish, sort the folder by file size, all the biggest ones are your dope OST files!

:siren: This will consume no less than 9.5GB of additional disk space in .wav format

I can't tell if there are a ton of duplicates for a reason, or the extraction is loving up somehow. If you know, pls tell me!

A few actual songs I've found so far, by filesize in KB:
23,528 generic metal
20,932 this has some of the NiN-ish rhythm guitar
18,801 very concussive and bad rear end
18,336 credits / ending?
17,842 epic orchestral music from hell
15,970 also extremely concussive
etc

Hopefully posting instructions like this is kosher :ssh:

I wish more Metal bands were like Mick Gordon :allears:

Well I just spent a couple of hours or so with the game. Hoooly poo poo, one of the best shooters in years. id absolutely nailed the gameplay. The combat is perfection. The map exploration does actually feel like Doom should in 2016. There's a lot of exploration and little nooks and crannies to search. Even for how hyped this game has been, people will be surprised.

Really surprised me just how great the game is, I have to say. The PC performance is really good, solid 1080p60+ on all high pre-set settings on an old 2500k at 4.3ghz and GTX 970. Never dropped in about three hours or so. I've been in rooms with 15+ demons and explosions everywhere and it keeps up without a sweat.

The UAC portrayed in this game is quite hilarious in a dry kind of way. The Doom comic was referenced in the very first line of the game and the humour has been carried forward. This game is glorious fan service.

Was having a lot of fun until I got to level 4 then I get single digit fps that persists no matter the settings I am using even if I load another level and won't go away unless I reload the game.

I was moving through pretty quickly until I hit mission 4.

I spent 3 hours looking for the last secret. I combed all over the map before I finally found it.

It's at least good to see wandering empty levels for secrets the first time through has come back. I'm having a lot of fun with the game at least, movement is super fluid

Use the automap, especially if you found the automap station, it will highlight and show every item and secret. White items on the automap = you haven't found it yet, orange = you discovered it.

lmao the way they've connected doom 1, 2, 3 and 4 storywise is how i had it down in a dumb fanfiction way and i love it.

after everyone leaves earth in doom 2 and doomguy stays in hell where he spends forever drowning in .wads, history repeats and cycles again and doom 3 happens, all the little story details about the old ancients who had to leave their planet after a hell invaded and then you find the stone tablet of the loving lone hero who fought off the hordes being doomguy in that doom1 cover pose and them with doom 4 it seems like it's set way after doom 3 and they were digging up all the old ancient tombs and they find the doomguy tomb thing and the lore tab says they got all it from the loving stone tablet in doom 3. i love how dumb this is.

I read all of that and I don't know anything about this stone tablet stuff. Do I need to play Doom 3 to understand the deep rich lore of doom?

Warning: Incredibly Deep, Rich Lore Ahead: There's a crumbling stone tablet near where you get the Soulcube in Doom 3 that has a carving of the Doom 1 box art on it, but with the Soulcube instead of the Shotgun.

You have to be right above them. Jumping and pressing F won't work. You have to double jump (spoilers) + F.

You dont have to double jump just hit melee at the apex of your normal jump and you should get it. Make sure youre not behind them, youll snap their neck or pull their jaw off instead and it wont count as a stomp.

Fun as hell. It's got a satisfying rat-a-tat feel, and the secondary fire modes are pretty great. I'm partial to the missile launcher on it. You can use the secondary fire modes very often on each gun.

Weapon balance feels good. I've used every weapon roughly equally so far, even the standard shotgun. The secondary fire modes (there are two for each and you can cycle through them with one button push) means every gun has their uses. Some guys may prefer the rapid fire mode on the standard shotgun over the super shotgun for instance.

In fact, you can do a lot of "combos" by switching guns.
For example when taking down Barons of Hell from a long range you can do Rocket Launcher lock-on secondary, which will briefly stun him and give you enough time to switch to the Railgun and do a Siege Mode charge shot.

Also some guns have great secondary modes but mediocre primary modes so switching weapons all the time is really good.
I have even bound all the guns to my extra mouse buttons for easy access mid-fight.

Has anyone tried to run this game on a stock 750, not a Ti? Though tbh I'll probably wait until I upgrade, though that won't be at least until the 1070 is out.
