I liked the doom books. They're not high literature but they were entertaining and kind of weird, especially the 4th book.

There's something about the marketing for this, with its focus on violence, and all the glory kills and slamming a corpses face into an eye scanner that makes Doom 4 come across as trying too hard to be cool and edgy but actually being kind of embarrassing, like its the Guy Fieri of first person shooters.

Yeah, I agree. Thing is video game publisher marketing teams are hilariously out of touch, and Bethesda's team is no exception.

I don't think it's entirely on marketing, unless marketing made them put all that stuff in the game and made the kill streak call outs really lame (genocide?)

Who would find this edgy in 2016, especially in a game with cartoony demons? From my perspective you're misreading this, and the jedi are evil also. I think fun is the tone they're looking for, at least to fans of stuff like cheesy horror movies and heavy metal style etc.

i dunno, I'm not into ultra violence and gore like I was when I was a wee boy. I thought the new MK took it too far and I don't really like the glory kills.

I play Doom with smooth doom and that adds more blood and splats and stuff but that's old pixel violence. Folding an imp in half every few seconds isn't appealing to me and it feels like it was designed to appeal to kids who aren't old enough to buy the game on their own, or streamers who will see a demon ripped in half and instantly pull a stupid face like they were in a react video thumbnail.

The Doom Closed Beta client appeared in my steam library so I'm installing it. I didn't preorder wolfenstein and I bought it over a year after it came out so I don't know why I have an invite but I'll take it I guess!

Was playing Doom 3 with sikkmod, it's an ok game I think. It's not trying to be Doom 1 or 2 which makes it not as bad. Doom 4 is trying to be a doom mod that gets old after 20 minutes.

Also brutal doom is really awesome from beginning to end.

Yeah brutal doom is awesome from beginning to when you end it, 20 minutes later.

I played about an hour of the beta and here are my thoughts

The graphics are pretty bad? I noticed there's an advanced graphic menu that is grayed out so maybe there's more to tinker with in there but with what there is in the beta it's just too blurry and smeared, the motion blur is crazy (turn it off), the vsync kills framerate (turn that off too), and the fov is extremely low.

I maxed out the mouse sensitivity and it's still too low.

The guns seem weak. Maybe since they made it so you can have any gun at any time they made them all weaker . The rocket launcher doesn't have much splash damage to it, around 55hp for a direct hit and 9 for a foot away. Super shotgun is more powerful than the rocket at close range. lightning gun is nothing like it is in quake. Plasma takes a ton of shots to kill.

Maps feel kinda like quake 3 maps so that's ok.

Once I got into the groove I had some ok battles but the rocket + shotgun combo seems to be the best.

Also there's no text chat in lobby.

What are you running on? I get a super solid 60 FPS in both TNO and the Doom betas, and i get about 40 FPS maxed in the Witcher...


gtx970

With everything on max aside from vsync (which is off) it goes between 40 and 60 constantly, it's annoying.

Snap Map is more restrictive than I would have liked, and my enounter spawners don't work because theres a limit to how many enemies you can put on the map at once and it sucks but I made a level anyway.

I liked it! It was fun. The part at the end was tough but good. I'd recommend raising your box volume trigger though - seems like players could jump over it. Also you can make volumes invisible but still work.

Thank you for playing it :) I wanted to make that trigger invisible but couldn't figure out how. I'll maybe make another map.

Don't like how its just plopping down monsters into prefab rooms. I know you can do all kinds of weird things with the logic but I just want normal levels.
