Origami Dali posted:I meant conceptually rather than design. One of the things I liked about og Doom from the beginning was it's sense of isolation. Not just your isolation concerning the absence of any other humans in the game, but also the isolation of the full on satanic Hell being unleashed and the total silence of heaven in the face of it. As a kid, I always imagined that heaven in the Doomverse was either powerless or just empty ruins and long dead, like a Pharaoh's tomb. For me, Doom wasn't just an action game, but a kind of existentially scary one. But I was a weird kid. I was a weird kid too and you basically summed up something about the original Dooms that I always sort felt and thought about but just never parsed into words.

I really liked how the Cyberdemon looked in DOOM 2016, but I was not prepared for how much I would love seeing the Cyberdemon in Doom Eternal look exactly like how he looked in DOS. Goddamn.

I don't think there were many levels in OG Doom where you'd get Berserk early enough to really make it obvious that it lasted the entire level. By the time most people could notice Berserk was still in effect all the demons were paste.

Just want to say I think it's loving awesome decision to allow us to see Doomguys face through his visor. He looks so loving angry and ready to rip and tear. Dude has serious motherfucking attack eyebrows. If you want to be a faceless ubermench in a helmet, the good news is that Halo is right there.

Not sure what to suggest you do to make it work. Maybe you'll need instagram or be over the age of 17 since it's Doom's official IG.

If they can do a Doom Movie properly it'll be one where the Demons are the protagonists just trying to survive against the Doom Marine the entire time.

This game is pure rip and tear. Until it stops you dead in your killing tracks and asks you to figure out some platforming bullshit like near the start of the Super Gore Nest level. Like, what the gently caress am I supposed to do here? I've been wandering around the level with the big center point jump pad for like 15 minutes and can't figure out how to get to the next section. (edit: nm, figured it out finally. It takes a bit to shift from murder spree mode into think things out mode) I just want to kill demons, let me kill demons.

Was playing HMP Extra Life Permadeath Mode and got as far as the first Marauder. He utterly destroyed me. Welp. Looks like I'm starting over, this time just normal HMP.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:The plasma gun is the only weapon that just feels kinda bad - the game basically had to create highly niche enemies to justify its existence, while the other guns all have highly specific uses as well but also a more general utility - like the rocket launcher is great for locking on to enemies with jerky movements / auto-deleting hell knights but it's also perfectly fine to just dump rockets into crowds or lob them at super-heavies, whereas I don't think I ever used the plasma gun at all aside from the 3 enemies that are basically giant flashing "plasma is a hard counter" billboards. This reads like a person who hasn't put any points into the plasma gun and then ran to the computer to tell everyone how bad it is. Jack Trades posted:You know what would've been a really nice thing to have. Some sort of move that would instakill a flashing enemy if you can't reach them with a glory kill. There is, it's called shooting them with literally any weapon. AndyElusive fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Apr 13, 2020 |

multijoe posted:I'd used it so little through the rest of the game it didn't even occur to me at first, eventually I relented just to get rid of the Barons of Hell but for the rest of the game it just felt like a way of cheating myself out of fun encounters with rare enemy types Ya I used it to split most super heavies and then whenever the game gave me refills for it I knew it was because something really bothersome was going to teleport in. I took considerable enjoyment in lopping the heads off Cyberdemons the instant they show up.

I think it's probably a design choice. 2 pips will let you chainsaw 2 fodder demons for enough ammo to deal with the heavier demon types through conventional weapon use.

RBA Starblade posted:I can't wait to see this Marauder and either chump it or get owned for an hour Got destroyed by the first encounter with it, which absolutely wrecked me since I was running HMP Single Life mode and had used all my 1-ups previous to meeting him and during the fight. After grinding my way back to him I used the SSG Ballista quickswitch method and completely clowned him and all subsequent Marauders.

I don't know who needs to hear this but since the running theme with this game is goons missing vital tid bits of information... The Ice Bomb and Frag Grenade don't share cool-down. You fire one, switch, and fire the other for extra rip & tear.

You can also hella spam remote det rockets without needing to be very accurate (or as accurate as you might normally be with vanilla no lock-on rockets) and the upgrade that increases falter is useful on just about every demon.

I'm slowly chipping away at Ultra Nightmare, currently on Gore Nest and whenever I see a Caco I'm stoked because I get to feed him a grenade and the Instant Health reward from pulling their eye out is always welcome. I love me some Caco.

The story does kind of retcon poo poo to explain why Doomguy can do things like dash, air dash and double jump and his inhuman strength during glory kills. His god infusion also has the comical effect of explaining things like his hammer-space. I don't mind it, I mean you're still the Doomguy from Doom 1 deep down inside that suit of armor.

How can platforming be frustrating? You lose a tiny bit of health from missed jumps and the game literally respawns you right back to the ledge you fell like an idiot from and pats you on the head. I could see it being a major bummer if it was more punishing, but as it is D:E is loving baby shoes when it comes to platforming difficulty.
