In single-player, I almost got through Argent Facility and decided to start over on Nightmare. I had a lot of reloads so far but not regretting the decision. The game seems to play even better on tougher difficulties. I already had a few cases of enemies flanking me from behind, unless I was imagining things.

When you guys said that the difficulty really spikes on Nightmare mode, you really meant it.

Yeah, I'm going through Nightmare mode now and it's brutal. Imps become the most dangerous enemy by far. I got stuck for awhile at the first big fight after you get the BFG (area with the elevator and two teleporters). Recently got passed it though. Doom is good.

Pretty soon you'll really enjoy it.Speaking of spiking it up, this guy did a speed-run of Ultra Nightmare in about 1 hour 16 minutes, (back in May 2016). I only skimmed through the first few parts of the video but it was really impressive from what I saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JvMPMo8INI Amazing to me is that I didn't see a single glory-kill from him until about 13 minutes in, I assume since he was conserving time. I didn't watch the entire video since I've only gotten thru a third of the game (taking my time to enjoy it, OK?).

My only problem with Doom is that once you fill out your arsenal/upgrades and start doing laps around arenas like a racing sim the game largely runs out of ways to challenge you (aside from sniper imps on nightmare). On my subsequent playthroughs I don't think I ever took a hit from a revenant or had a hellknight last longer than 5 seconds with the burst shotgun. Some of this can be remedied a bit by handicapping yourself, but I hope id tries to improve on the combat in the future and shakes up playstyles with new enemies/behaviors. Like, I dunno, an archvile variant that tries to cut off the player with walls of fire or revenants that can actually hit the player or use their jetpack in a non-retarded manner

In close quarters the pinky demons are tough to deal with. At least for me and my 15 year videogame hiatus reflexes.

Sestze posted:Sure they do. I remember fighting reaperbots when I was a young child, they never missed and would pretty much charge at you and circlestrafe you to death. Yeah, they were nasty as hell. Circle or strafe jump is turning and strafing into a jump to accelerate it; usually used to set off some bunny hopping or hop over to get around to the 100 health on dm2. Circle strafing is something else and you're right, bots were good at it

Chainsawing pinkies is like a race between you and the damage-causing hitbox on the front of the pinky. If you strike first, you chainsaw it to bits, and if you bump into the head first, you explode into giblets.

If you don't have the saw, chaingun inflicts high pain chance against them. EDIT: Oh whoops, this is the Doom 2016 thread, not the Early FPS Megathread. Point still stands, you sawed the demons.

Found a neat glitch. Those floating bot things that unlock your weapon and then you punch it. Well in one level it takes off and then you find it as a secret by using a crane to move a platform to get to it. Ok well I ran up to it at the beginning before It floated off, I managed to double jump to it and hit the button. I got stuck to it and it carried me all the way up to the secret area. In the same level there is a platform you can stand on and all the enemies stop moving. You can just kill them. The ones who through fireballs will still shoot at you but won't move.

strafe jumping is a physics glitch so maybe that's how computer games evolve

Tribes skiing too, it's a glitch that as far as I'm aware is integral to how it played once people adopted it.

do the new id tech engines have the same fps / player movement quirks as q2 / q3? Ie setting frame rate to a specific number (I think 125 rings a bell) and you get a distinct increase in jump height and all that?

Also in the new Fallouts you can pick stuff up without 'stealing it' so you can empty shops and such by carrying everything to the bathroom and then placing it into your inventory, just like I do at Target.

Back then internal game logic would run at whatever your fps was, and doing certain calculations a specific x times per second would cause an answer that would be ever so slightly different, which would be enough in certain cases to cause a number to round up rather than down. This is why in q3 setting your fps to certain levels would make you jump slightly higher which in some cases had lots of tactical implications. Modern engines including this one decoupled game logic from rendering, as a result important back end will run at a steady speed, so there will be less quirks overall.
