I'm usually one to roll my eyes or laugh when I see somebody complain about having to hear rap in a commercial. But that choice for the TV spot was dumb as hell.

At least it's getting the reception it deserves: Let's hope that that's the only negative mark this game gets.

DatonKallandor posted:I was about to mention the Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 ads as extremely good. The Bartholomew trailer for DS1 is still fantastic, and the Dark Souls 3 launch trailer was also great. They're a master class in how to do non-game music for a trailer and still have it work. They also bothered to actually sync the visuals to the music, which seems like too much of a bother for whoever threw that doom trailer together. in between they had the dark souls 2 trailer set to... jethro tull?

I think that they made the music bad on purpose so that they could make it an internet meme. Like 200 IQ Pro-Gamer-Strat viral marketing

It would have sufficed for Animal Crossing music and reinforced Slayer and Isabelle being best buds, plus the older fanbase would have cracked up at it.

How are they not using an edit of The Only Thing They Fear Is You? That track is practically made for a 30 second ad cut. Doom is not a game that needs an ad soundtrack that differs from the game soundtrack.

Didn't Doom 2016 launch with a stupid embargo on reviews so we were all panicking about it being poo poo (mostly based on being worried from rumors of Doom 4's shittiness) and then it turned out to be amazing but still hurt sales? Eternal meanwhile had them showing the entire game to press and the press singing praises about how confident they are

Don't forget the infamous gamepad demos, and many people (including me) thinking that glory kills were just a horrible, horrible idea until they actually got to play it. 'Press a button to watch a non-interactive death animation' sounds terrible on paper

I was surprised when I saw that rough preview of the original "realistic" Doom 4 gameplay that glory kills were a feature that survived basically unchanged. Same animations even. I wouldn't have expected stomping imp skulls to come from the more grounded version of Doom.

I still like the original doom 4 reveal trailer. It's not rip and tear but it is a pretty indulgent look at HD violence and the music matches.

Spiderdrake posted:Holy poo poo is playing new Colossus after Doom 2016 just the saddest loving thing. The introduction of Doom 2016 is straight fire mainlined into your brain. Wolfenstein other then the original Wolf3d has always been boring torture porn skating by on how "nazis are bad." It's never been innovative, interesting, or even fun really. In fact the shittiness of Wolfenstien was one of the reasons I waited so long to get into Doom 2016. But man, is Doom 2016 so good. Super stoked for Eternal.

I had asked about it in the Martyr thread and was told if you enjoy making GBS threads around in power armor shooting hordes of dudes for Warhammer nostalgia dopamine release, this game was it. But if you expected Left 4 Dead levels of tight gameplay, you were going to be disappointed. I bought it for the former and it was good but even after it's relaunch I can tell it was rough. The AI is just not smart. But holy poo poo if you can convince 3 friends who are also fans of the universe to play with you over discord it's a rip roaring time where you're praising the emperor and purging heresy every 5 seconds. You wont care which powers and guns are the meta because a true space marine holds the trigger down until the entire room stops moving.

It was a terrible marketing campaign, too. It started with two E3 trailers: that famously dull-looking one in the foundry, and a better one that took place in hell. Then from there on out, the only single-player they would show was almost nothing but developers showing off glory kills in dull-looking levels with controllers. After that came the multiplayer beta, and it was poorly-received for lots of reasons. Bethesda then just focused down entirely on the multiplayer from that point, making it look like it was going to flop like every AAA FPS that tried to focus on multi. I only remember people thinking the game might not suck when NVIDIA did some presentation where a guy played an un-scripted section of the game with mouse and keyboard and it actually looked fun. Bethesda has just been desperate for a multiplayer game that they can use to get themselves a recurrent revenue stream, and Doom almost became a casualty to that.

The SP is a chore but multiplayer is really great if you are interested in anything wh40k and/or space Hulk. There are probably half a dozen servers up at most these days but you can almost always get a co-op game going quickly. EE added some character customization options but just lol that they keep it full price on steam..

I hope that the Plasma Rifle feels better in Eternal. It's certainly the most anemic feeling gun in DOOM2016. Even the pistol feels better when you get a charged shot off.

The Og Plasma Rifle kinda fell into a similar spot since generally a BFG shot uses the cells better, so, often forgot to flip to when useful.

Spiderdrake posted:I found the plasma rifle really confusing. It's super useful for fighting middle tier enemies, but it felt like you could empty half your ammo reserve into a stunned revenant before it staggered. And the heat blast seemed like it didn't work as described. I fell out of using it, when really, it's probably your best tool for killing pinkies which I found consistently annoying. The best Plasma Rifle is the Quake 3 one. It created a slick surface that would affect movement the faster the player was moving, which would cause them to lose control so that they would either fall off a bridge, or be able to easily be predicted for a follow up Nade or Rocket. New Doom Plasma rifle could do something interesting like that maybe.

Is Doomslayer the same as DoomGuy or just a reboot? I think it would be awesome if he's the same guy who just happened to wake up in a different reality where the UAC are doing the same poo poo he tried to stop in his own first iteration.
