Doom 64 had a sort of railgun thing. Personally I'm not sure how the railgun works. Sometimes it does a little damage. Sometimes it does a lot of damage. It doesn't seem to use a lot of ammo but still runs out of ammo fast.

there are collectible artifacts in each of the secret levels that power it up

You can break off a demons rear end and then smack it in the face with it.

What about the super shotgun? I get what kind of weapon they were going for. But the grenade launcher on the regular shotgun has just been invaluable to me.

When you first get the super shotgun if you have a maxed grenade on combat shotgun it's hard to see why you should switch, but by the time you max out super shotgun with mastery it's probably the best weapon in the game for most things. The mastery upgrade lets you fire it twice before reloading and even on the bigger enemies I'm always surprised how quickly they die to it

Also if you beat the game without trying out Siege Mode Gauss Cannon you missed out

Zephyrine posted:

I gave the Gauss Cannon a test run. It is ridiculously overpowered.

But it's a non-canon weapon. There has never been a Gauss cannon in a doom game and it's too late to put one in now. So I'll have to stick with the plasma rifle.

- uses same ammo as plasma rrifle
- kills a lot of things from a distance
- does a lot of damage

sounds like a bfg to me???

this track reminds me of something marilyn manson might've mixed up in the late 90s and i might just pick up the game for 20, i liked the demo and thought it was fun but 30 is still too much for a short SP shooter to me

ok now imagine all those epic upgrades arent locked behind a skill tree and instead you get to use the maxed out version of every weapon by the end of the game and they balanced the game around it

I think weapon upgrades are retarded unless it's like in Hard Reset or maybe for slowing the pace of the game so you aren't just thrown into it with 12 weapons and they all have alt fires or whatever.

Just a quick question I had about the new doom:

credburn posted:

Hey, all you old-school Doom and Quake players, I have a question about Doom...um, the new Doom. Not called "The New Doom" but just "Doom" for some stupid reason. That's strike 1, new Doom!

I've never been into multiplayer games because I'm a misanthropic agoraphobic human hating fire bombing loner. So this question is specifically about the single player. Also, I'm playing with a proper mouse and keyboard, not the NES Advantage or whateverthefuck incarnation of that homophobic racist Linkin Park kids use with their 30 FPS games.

I want to pick up Doom, but I'm not entirely sold on it. I haven't actually seen any videos of it since a little bit before its release, and I wasn't really liking what I was seeing. What I saw was some frantic, wonderful running and gunning, jumping and splattering and blowing away demons and it looked like a proper update to the Doom classic, a Doom for the new generation. But then I saw that switching between weapons brought up a weird UI and it brought the game into slow motion. Well, this offends me. Doom didn't slow down for nothing. Leaping behind cover and swapping your weapon and then leaping back was part of the chaotic fun. I know it was pretty simple back then; you didn't have to reload your gun or anything. But I don't LIKE the idea of time slowing down to swap out my weapon. So I am wondering, 1) can this be disabled and 2) if it can't be disabled, do you find this hurts the gameplay, especially coming at this from the thirst for Doom-like nostalgic ultra-violence?

My next question pertains to finishing moves. I think I saw a Youtube video with a guy playing a beta of it (or something) and he said that doing finishing moves makes you invulnerable during the animation, and he went on to say that that becomes a rather necessary gameplay element, with so much going on one needs a brief break of random invulnerability. This offends me. I've been playing some other games wherein performing finishing moves makes you invulnerable, and I use this to my advantage. If it's part of the game, I'm going to use it, but I sure don't like it. I think it pulls me out of the immersion. Not the finishing moves -- that's fine -- but let me be at risk doing it. So I am wondering, 1) Does it still make you invulnerable, or was that an early build feature, 2) are there multiple finishing moves for various monsters? I don't want to see the same finishing move 100 times, and 3) do you have to initiate the finishing move, or does it just happen mid-combat?

Oh, and final question: How is health handled? Is it like classic FPS games where you have to monitor your health and go get medikits and such, or is it like pussy boo-hoo modern FPS games where you just squat behind a table and wait for your health to come back you loving pussy wimp?

Greetings fellow Goons. Call me EricHarris69. Big Doom fan here... thjat's the OG Doom, heh (not that Doom is "Gangsta", rap is degenerate garbage for the masses). My three "pet hates" are Linkin Park, human interaction and weapon wheels. I'm scared of the sky... any of you loving pussies got a problem with that? I'm an arsonist.
