The gameplay was worse than I thought it would be.

Pretty funny that they chose the levels where you only have a lovely pistol and a lovely shotgun to showcase the game.

Hiding behind cover is better than furiously ripping demons and zombies?

Hiding behind cover (except it's not really waist-high cover but parts of the skatepark that aren't as open as the others) and glory killing an isolated monster is essentially how it work on higher difficulties (because if you do it in the open you get blasted for more damage than you healed), and at least health regen has the upside of not tying another important resource (ammo) to it.

On top of that, given that the ranged attacks are not hitscan but projectiles and that the monsters are supposed to be agile and actively hunt you through the skatepark, not only would you be able to regenerate health in the open as long as you dodge properly, but hiding to regenerate would have downsides it doesn't have in games like CoD.

I don't think health regeneration is inherently bad but no this is an argument for how bad glory kills are.

it sucks how the game automatically makes you perform glory kills, it would be nice if you could just not press the button and never use them.

There's also health kits by the way, so don't get hit and take the health kits if you do get hit, like the other (much worse and extremely out-dated, might I add) Doom games.

Aug 23, 2009

The assessment would be fairer if you remembered to include that glory killing things isn't the only way to get health.

Also as someone who played on the higher difficulties the only way I would ever be able to say I "hid behind cover" to get a glory kill requires "hide" and "cover" to be so closely defined the same as "dodge enemy attacks" that it wouldn't even make sense to make the distinction. Maybe you need to not let your prejudices get the better of your judgment on this highly awesome and satisfying game.

Is this game good or not , because it's on sale right now. I don't care about the MP at all but is the campaign worth $35? Is it short enough that I should just try to get it from Redbox or something or is it something fun I'm gonna wanna replay?

It's deece. If you think of it like a spiritual successor to Quake 2 or something more than Doom your probably not going to be as disappointed as some of these folks.

It's probably as good as any big company has made one of these dumb throwback games, but it's still got the problems like moments of pure exposition or not thoroughly designed concepts that amount to just cheap nods to the past, though it's surprisingly light on the shallow nostalgia stuff.

It's inexcusable in this day in age not to have leaderboards and other stuff for time trials though, IMO... Playing single player is a lot cooler if you can show people your epicness.

It's real fuckin good. Finish the campaign and start again on ultra violence or with the interface turned off good.
