I'm like others, not hyped as gently caress but optimistic. I played the multiplayer alpha and was nice considering the limited content I could try. The whole Snap Map utility got my attention since you can build maps really easy, I just hope that they don't limit it, because I'd love to make some classic doom maps with it.

BFG edition is a PC port of the console port of the PC version of Doom 3. The engine works in fundamentally different ways in some areas from the original and you'll find a hell of a lot of mods just straight up will not support it. I know Phobos doesn't. Get yourself a copy of the original if you wanna use anything but the most basic mods.

https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG/releases

This is a source port for D3 BFG that lets you create or even modify vanilla D3 mods to work with BFG edition. Also allows for more graphic options, skippable cutscenes (speedrunners started using this source port).

This thread isn't bad enough so let's try to get it there: Explain the differences betweeen UT and Doom and Quake without referencing fluff.

UT is a TV show, has Skaarjs and gangs loving each other. Doom is a failed experiment in mars with a demonic invasion and that stuff and...

Quake is a failed experiment with Lovecraftian creatures and worlds,
Quake is a war against the Stroggs in one of their planets,
Quake is a tournament between different creatures and characters created by ID Software with no other explanation,
Quake is more of the previous war against the Stroggs where some dude becomes one of them,
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a Strogg invasion in the earth, previous to Quake 2, with vehicles, big teams and being a mix of Battlefield and its free to download expansion to Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

It seems like every time I load a map I lose about half of my frame rate. The first one is in the 70s-80s, the second in the 40s, and the third in the 20s. I have to exit and reload the game in order to clear this. Any idea what's going on?

I have the same exact problem, every two maps (including challenges) I have to quit to desktop and continue where I left because the game starts moving in slow motion.

Good thing is that you can change it on the fly. Sometimes I feel like playing as a mobile missile turret then sometimes I switch perks to be meleeing stuff. I think it's one of the few single player games that I like to jump between missions just for fun.

You need a 486DX. The SX doesn't have the needed maths co-processor so you'll get rubbish framerates. You're stuck with Wolfenstein until you upgrade.

I owned a 486 DX2 @ 66 with 16Mb RAM (upgraded from 8 to 16 for Duke Nukem 3D, and a Cirrus Logic GPU with 1mb. I kept that pc until 2005 when it just blew up and used it for DOS and Win95 gaming (I had a 540mb HDD). The biggest downside was Quake 1 being so painfully slow at 320x200.

For some reason since the last update the game became unplayable for me. Tried updating my nvidia drivers but for some reason I can't move the mouse on the menus (I have to use the keyboard) and fps are under 30. Validating the files didn't work too. Any ideas?

What exactly is Vulkan? Is it another rendering engine like DirectX/OpenGL? I haven't seen rendering options in a game since about Half-Life 2 so I'm not sure.

I ask the same since most games never allow for different renderers. HL2, UT 2k4 and so were the most recent examples I remember that let me choose.

Soooo I own a Nvidia 760 with 2GB VRAM, Vulkan won't even show as an option for me and since the last patch the game plays under 15fps for no reason at all (yes, I updated my drivers for vulkan support and yes, I had 15fps with the same drivers that previously gave me stable 50-60 fps before the big Doom Patch). I can't play the game at all right now unless I play an unpatched version wich, the way Steam works is not possible. At least I beat the game the first weekend and played a lot before the update, my only hope is that they unfuck something soon.

Anyone having fps issues since the big update or with Vulkan, try disabling Steam overlay. The game went from unplayable to solid 70-80fps when I had 40-50 before. i7 2600k, 8Gb RAM and a 760ti with 2Gb VRAM and Win10.

It's really good in the specific case where you have the rune that gives you infinite ammo if you have a certain amount of armor, as well as the mastery that stops the barrels from overheating. Grab a quad damage and shred the entire room.

Then you can just use the heavy AR with infinite rockets and just press the fire button and keep jumping without needing to aim because :hellyeah:

I'm in Canada and there was a time that I didn't get a single survey for well over a year. And then through the summer I was getting a few per week. They're triggered by places you go, so if I go to Walmart or something it will pop a survey up within a day. This also means you need location services turned on.

I have location services running as my phone has good battery life and hell, I use google maps a lot. I guess that I'll have to wait even more to get a few google bux.

I uninstalled the game from my ssd to make room (250gb ssd) because it's becoming too big. I hope they make like some games that after patch support they redo it so it uses less space because 70gb is becoming too crazy when a game like Battlefield 4 with shitloads of mp maps, a campaign and more poo poo, was 64gb and that was crazy enough.

It's the same app in a different "mode" (think mod folders in Quake). There's even an unused "mods" mode that will likely never get used, ever.

There's hope since they bothered adding mod support for Skyrim SE on consoles. Who knows if they will add it when they stop adding new content for MP and snapmap, maybe someone can make a reverse of D4D! :shepface:

Both the Olivia/Hayden scenes could have been vastly, and easily-improved by allowing the player to demonstrate Doomguy's violent contempt for everyone. Give the player the opportunity to smash up the safety glass and slowly wrench the door open as Olivia did her reactor-thing. Let the player shoot-up and dismantle Hayden in his office, only to have a side-closet open up to reveal another robot body admonishing you for rudely interrupting his monologue. Then wreck up his office.

Hell, that's an amazing idea. It doesn't change anything but Hayden could see how brutal is doomguy and laugh about it.

Ah man, Dark Messiah. It was pretty objectively a Bad Game, but somehow fun anyway. The things it did right, it did REALLY right.

Hey, I got it on release because I wanted first person melee and got a lot of value. The plot is awful, characters are uninsteresting but the combat was fantastic and multiplayer was really fun. There are a couple of levels that are really sandboxy and let you do silly stuff with the spikes, ice spells and kick that a lot of games nowaday don't even bother trying.

If I learned something about being hyped about videogames is that you can be optimistic about an upcoming release, hyped? maybe but never, never throw poo poo on a game before even playing it. Hell, I was really hyped for Duke Nukem Forever and you all know how it went. I still had fun with it but wasn't even a third of what I spected.

I remember about Shadow Warrior 2013 where people were just throwing poo poo at it because the old one was just racist and turned out to be a great game.

System Shock and its sequel were good and are classics. I'd say that the only thing is suffers from is being a part of time when controls and things that are FPS standards today were still in their infancy. If the same game was made with doom/quake controls I don't think people would question how good of game it is.

The new System Shock remake streamlines controls to modern standards and feels way better on that regard.

So while I fix my computer (my motherboard is dying and somethimes can't even boot), got an impulse and got the PS4 preorder version for 20€, used all my GAME remaining credit (15€) so now I'm replaying the game on PS4 and while I miss M+KB, the game is so loving great and runs drat smooth that I'm starting from scratch.

I'm using the tactical layout to have always jump available (L1) while moving and aiming, what are you console players using?

Vertical and horizontal sensitivity to 45, look smoothing 0 (because I don't even know what's this for on a console).
