And voting with my wallet that I want more campaigns like Doom (and a doom 5) I spent $38, but so far it feels overly worth it. MisterBibs posted:And it refuses to work for them.

Seemed to me like Doom I, II, and 64 are canon while Doom 3 is its own thing, aside from the Soul Cube easter egg. At the end of D64, Doomguy stays in Hell to prevent another invasion. In this one, he wakes up having been put in a sarcophagus in Hell for who knows how long.

Zaphod42 posted:Uhhh there was a whole lot of flayed bodies and corpses and blood and evil satan goats in Doom 4. Not sure what you mean. I realized (maybe incorrectly) that he was talking specifically about Hell and I sort of agreed with him. Thinking about it now, though, Hell is its own dimension with living, thinking creatures in it so it makes sense for it to look lived in and not just like a dumpster full of human bodies.

Shadow of Mordor is actually one of the best SP games of this generation and it'd be the best of any generation if they had the balls to just go ahead and make the Orc politics simulation game it was clearly meant to be.

Wikipedia posted:As reported in David Kushner's Masters of Doom, when Carmack was 14, he broke into a school to help a group of kids steal Apple II computers. To gain entry to the building, Carmack concocted a sticky substance of thermite mixed with Vaseline that melted through the windows. However, an overweight accomplice struggled to get through the hole, and opened the window, setting off a silent alarm and alerting police. John was arrested, and sent for psychiatric evaluation (the report mentions 'no empathy for other human beings' and describes Carmack as 'a brain on legs'). Carmack was then sentenced to a year in a juvenile home.[3][4] I should probably get around to reading Masters of Doom at some point. Someone make a Snapmap level where Doomguy is John Carmack and you have to break into a UAC funded university and sneak past all the demons to steal a computer to code on.

Just played a tiny bit of multiplayer and it's not terrible. I've played worse. Had some fun but definitely should not have had the huge marketing push behind it.

The MP was wasted potential. They could have made it Quake III Arena 2016 Edition but they go and cock it up with this two weapon nonsense. How the gently caress?

Multi is garbage, a no load-outs, pick up weapons type game list would go a long way to make it better, also remove the super shotgun and rocket launcher from load-outs and make them map drops, one is way to overpowered the other is to underpowered. Oh and the demon rune mechanic is incredibly stupid and terrible.

It would have been fine if they didn't lock the weapons behind an XP wall. Seriously, why can't I just use whatever weapon I want from the beginning instead of play 5-10 hours of "That cocksucker with the lightning gun killed me and I want that"

It seems odd you cant upgrade the difficulty in a save. I'm at a point that mastering this last rune is impossible because I just don't die.

MP is sort of aggravating to play, because it feels like it's close to a really good game. The problem is the movement speed and lack of any sort of movement 'tricks' like boost dodging or strafejumping makes it a little too simple, which is in turn made worse when the chaingun is so easy to use that there's really no point in using much else. Almost every match boils down to people running straight forward with the chaingun spun up.

I think its funny as gently caress that everyone freaked about the multi being too modern and reviewers freaked about the sp not being modern enough. Personally I felt almost flattered that a game this nice looking gave a poo poo about my long forgotten circle strafe skillz.

I had to play a few rounds to get my load out of Rocket Launcher/Chaingun or Rocket Launcher/SSG. And in that time I realized the Chaingun is too good so why not just use that. More complaints: the "hacks" feel almost like Deathstreaks from MW2/3, with some catering to the (VERY loving BAD) playstyle of "get immediate revenge on the guy that fragged you". Is it safe to coin a new NEDM in the form of "Not Even Doom Multiplayer"?

So Snapmap is really all we are going to have for modding, and it is going to stay on the multiplayer side of things? After playing a few user maps it isn't doing much for me, and I just don't understand how they couldn't keep the controls and stuff consistent between the two sides of the game.

Yeah, I realized the trick is simply to avoid bothering with the monsters and just pop the coolant tanks. Seems to despawn all but the biggest monsters. Unrelated, I youngin' in the 90s, is the stuff metalheads listened to in the 90s? The screechiness of it reminds me more of dubstep.
