Played a few levels of it on Switch and it seems to be a fantastic port.

I only played about 2/3 of the first episode on PC so the rest will be new to me.

It's a shame that Civvie didn't discover the sheer power of the fists, because by just rapidly punching the lesser monsters you can stunlock the poo poo out of them. I watched someone stream this game last month and it was ridiculous.

Crossposting this from the Doom WAD Club thread, I'm working on a multiplayer Doom Hockey map for NaNoWADMo and would love to have more people on the ice for testing!

Dieting Hippo posted:

If anyone wants to shoot some pucks, I'm going to be doing a Doom Hockey playtest later today at 5 PM PST! I've got a Discord up with the latest version posted and some instructions on how to set up ZDL for multiplayer. It'll be hockey_b3.zip unless I add some more stuff in before then :v:

New in this version:
- Set Time Limit, Score Limit, and Item Frequency
- Items spawn! Grab some rockets and blow the puck/other players up.

Here's some footage I recently posted:

It takes some practice to start getting P ranks, a big part of it is learning what moves count towards your style score and working them into your playstyle

Is Dusk a game that relies on quick, precise aiming? I thought I would pick it up as soon as the Switch version came out but I dunno.

I am not historically a console gamer so controllers aren’t very natural for me. I’ve tried playing Doom on a Switch and it’s utterly infuriating - I keep getting destroyed in episode 1. I don’t think I can ever get used to “free” gyro aiming (IE not tied to an “aim mode” like in Breath of the Wild) so I can’t hit anything quickly. It feels like I’m trying to play keyboard-only.

I’ve played maybe 10-15 minutes of Doom 3 and I thought that was a lot more tolerable with a controller. I’ve played a handful of other console FPS’s and did OK.

I'd say DUSK needs more aim than DOOM1 but less than Quake1?

I like playing some first person stuff on controller (Halo, Far Cry, Arkane/Bethesda games) but can't really do Doom/Quake/etc. For me, Dusk is definitely in the latter camp where it's too fast/precise for my skill level with a gamepad.

That depends on if you like using Dusk's high damage precision weapons, rifle and crossbow. Some of the maps are a lot more open with lots more to shoot compared to Quake 1
