ROFLburger posted:for those of you that beat it, how many attempts did it take you? i feel like i could get it done eventually My pal has done it and talked about it a bit. Run around on Nightmare mapping out kill orders on any arena that gives you trouble and fight each boss repeatedly until you can do it really smoothly if any of them give you trouble. It takes as many as it takes, if you watch UN speed runs even the world records have moments where you're stopped for 1-2 seconds by a Carcass and drop to 10 health and oh boyyyyy, time to be good at the game.

ROFLburger posted:ok i got the phobos skin from beating extra life mode with 10+ lives. i think it's time for ultra nightmare but i'm not sure i'm ready for that level of frustration yet. for those of you that beat it, how many attempts did it take you? i feel like i could get it done eventually took three runs (got sloppy and died to a dread knight in arc complex, very rage-inducing; died to buffed enemies in the totem room in super gore nest), the most danger is of course in the earlier areas where you dont have all your tools or when you're expected to fight enemies that can rapidly delete you due to buffs, cramped areas, etc.. what advice i can offer you is basically: 1) memorize dangerous encounters, ie: mancubus/snek/dread knight spawns, totems, arenas with a shitload of hazards like good ole cultist base 2) know when to use your delete enemy buttons: a single BFG shot or crucible kill can save a run or at least ensure it doesn't go bad. vanilla campaign is very generous with bfg spawns, be sure to know and take advantage of them 3) dont forget power-ups: restaurant battle in arc complex can get pretty iffy once all the sneks come in, so be sure to remember that you have a berserk sitting in the bottom trench for the save

yeah ive been playing the game without using powerups or the bfg/crucible as a challenge thing, but the goal in UN is to win, not to do it perfectly. same thing goes for the optional stuff: i only went for the first three slayer gates in order to get enough weapon points for the mods i wanted to build out ASAP; everything past that is an unnecessary risk and not vital to making it to the end of the game

Is there/was there/will there be a chance to get all the nice-looking skins+rewards from previous "seasons" ?? (also, is it considered lame if you finish Icon of Sin on Nightmare, but with the Sentinel Armour that is given when you lose enough times? Or if you just go back after collecting enough Extra Lives from the earlier missions?) (i know the answer  )

there was a one-week window to get the first season's skins so yeah, i imagine they'll be giving people a chance to get them again alternatively you can buy the missed skins and be outraged at how hugo martin broke his sacred oath that there wont be payable content for the game and instead expect id to keep developing a game on their own dime

Jack Trades posted:No, in the last stream Hugo said that it was a deliberate choice to "make you actively choose a grenade to equip, like you would a weapon." whatever that means. I kind of get this since grenades, especially freeze, are such a good panic button that having them both available on one press may encourage mindless spamming.

I want to see their outdoor environments like Mars Core or Taras Nabad to see how light from a star is rendered.

It is a real testament to the engine team at Id that RTX has such, I'm not sure what word I want to use so I'll just go with minimal, impact on the visuals over all. For sure it looks prettier and all, I'm not trying to say otherwise, but its just crazy how much wizardry they were able to squeeze out of that code before.

FutureCop posted:Well, I tried to put it off as long as possible so I didn't need to live in a Doom Eternal-less world, but I've finally done it: DLC2 is complete on Nightmare difficulty, and with that, Doom Eternal is finito! As you well know, Difficulty comes in a variety of ways. The Beaten to death example, like Dark Souls or soulslikes, it boils down to learning the system, and brutally punishing you if you don't know what to do when you veer away from it. When you bring up Enter the Gungeon though, Roguelike's element of chance can knock that difficulty up to such a high degree that it stops being fun because you didn't get the weapon you wanted. It's why I'm fine with games where the developers hate you, like Nioh, but I too haven't beaten Enter the Gungeon, because i've never been able to replicate the success I had like a year or two ago. This gushing about this reminds me of one of my favorite moments in Doom Eternal. The first fight of Final Sin was making me question just how many more demons are there, it felt overwhelming at first. Getting into the rhythm, and seeing the Tyrant bust through the door, my mind completely went from "when is this going to end" to "I don't think i want this to stop, i'm grinning like doomguy here". Everything in Final Sin (except the Icon of Sin) felt like peak DOOM

Admittedly... that part in the trailer where Doomguy is flying around some lab during a fight, then faces some big blue window and sees an Arachnotron creeping up behind him, and then he turns around and blasts it... was pretty neat.

I don't play much these days, but clear the event challenges each week because skinner boxes, no matter how dumb and useless, work on me. However, I logged in to check and I was still sitting at level 15 from last event's track. Played for a bit, returned to events and it must have rolled over while I was playing as the new HotDog event track was up - and completely unlocked up to level 15. Logged out and back in to check, and it's still all there. Thanks, I guess?!

The unmaykr is lame because its three shots per trigger pull, all firing in a perfectly horizontal line each time, feels like the most video-gamey thing and it's just not cool. If the projectiles looked like almost anything else it would have been a lot cooler of a gun.

Unmaykr would probably be a little more useful if one of the runes you could equip was the ammo one from 2016, and so you had a chance to drop....I dunno, maybe +15 BFG cells per chainsaw whereas the big pickups with the best sound effect on the map are a full refill

It's a good tool, especially in conjunction with freezing and staggering, but it isn't an instant problem solver by itself.
