At least one of the guys playing tag with the Ultra Nightmare 100% speed run category swears by the bullet time rune and uses the heavy canon more than any other gun. Go nuts with it, you'll be fine. Your ability to get good does not rest on wether or not you use that rune.

Mission one where you end up with the sharks and enter the last section. I did that and then first time fighting the Baron I died. The checkpoint reload glitched and I didn't have a body (so camera ran across the ground) and couldn't use any weapons or equipment except the chainsaw. Reloading checkpoint, restarting game, nothing fixed it. I had to just abandon the level and start over again. That sucked.

Pollyanna posted:Can't attack, so no. Chainsawing doesn't work either, it just shoves me back in the ground. I had that happen to me as well. When I reloaded after exiting I could chainsaw mobs but nothing else worked. I had to restart the mission entirely and because I was so rusty that was a huge time investment lost.  That was the first bug I encountered in 2016, Eternal, and the DLC.

Section Z posted:They literally hide some of the few power ups in the main game inside of destructible walls at the back end of an encounter arena. They were joking about putting secret messages or hidden unskippable cutscene triggers in the sky boxes for speed runners and anyone else who manages to get out of bounds for the DLC, so anything is possible.

They did focus on making a good shooter. And they did make a good shooter. There is a correct way and a wrong way to play this shooter though and the game will not help you survive when you play the wrong way.

I feel like if you saw the mechanics in full motion you'd get the potential for play in what Id calls The Fun Zone. I'd say watch a level or two that you've already completed from this video. You don't need to copy it exactly but pick one thing from it that you like that you aren't doing right now and try it out. The AI is literally coded to help you feel more like a badass when playing in tye prescribed fashion it wants you to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01nJjaKlJhU e: also it is fine if you watch that and decide nah not for me, but you'll at least know what you are walking away from.

OwlFancier posted:It's not a cover shooter, if I was going to compare it to anything it would actually be left 4 dead, in that the enemies all basically blur together into a sort of fluid mass and you spend most of your time sort of funneling them into an area that you can shoot them easily. Except you move around all the time rather than hiding in a corner because you are actually faster than the enemies, rather than the opposite in l4d, it's a more proactive form of the same enemy management problem, as a significant number of the enemies are melee focused and all of them benefit from positioning them so that they are all in a confined firing line and close together, both so you can hit them with spread attacks and so that you know where they all are. The easiest way to do this is to constantly move away from them as it causes them to chase after you and form that sort of more manageable blob. Every time you give an opinion that is more than one or two sentences long I am more and more baffled at how someone can arrive at that conclusion, much less how someone can hold all those opinions at once.

The devs found that the most fun way to engage 2016 was what they eventually dubbed the "Fun Zone" which was the weapon and resource dance. The game did not really do anything to incentivize this and you could just as well cheese the whole game with the SSG or Gauss. So Eternal was an evolution on 2016 specifically meant to funnel players into the Fun Zone by mechanically both incentivizing and rewarding players for adopting that play style. You'll see in interviews with Hugo where he is explaining all this and and pitching the concept that the game will punish poor execution because they want the players to have an earned sense of being a Bad rear end™ stunting on demons in arenas. He also caveats that they are leaving in the ability to mono-weapon the game on easier difficulties if that is what you really want to do as an escape valve but you'll get the most out of the game by engaging it on its terms. Basically, there is a correct way to play DooM Eternal and the devs tried to do everything they could to get the player to play that way without rendering the game completely unplayable if the player chose not to. This caused a lot of initial backlash from people who wanted to just repeat 2016 and play the entire game with one gun and one weapon mod and not have to think about encounters like Combat Chess (another design keystone the Id team reference). And in fact that kind of criticism is almost all of the criticism that gets brought up by people who did not like the game in this thread. So then you come in and say that the game is not good for basically leaving that escape valve in and making you play that way because you did not want to learn the game the way they intended you to do it. And like Cream-of-Plenty, I'm not wanting to flame or chase you off or anything, but I just don't understand the mindset of you present of saying it is the game's fault for letting you still complete the game while play far below sub-optimally. Partly because that would seem to imply that they should have leaned harder into punishing you for not playing optimally --one of the very things you are criticizing the game for. I think Cream is right in that you truly just don't understand the concept what the franchise and Eternal in particular is trying to do, or at least engage with it, and it was more fluke than anything that you ended up liking 2016. And of course that is fine, like what you like and you don't have to like DooM but its just....  .

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Agreed. Or hell, any fight. And custom fights too, like if it was like a Holodeck but for ripping and tearing. Want to see how you'd do against 5 cyberdemons and 3 marauders? Just enter the settings in the Ripatorium console and go through the door. Campaign access to Arcade Mode, basically. Also next DLC will have fixed meat hook mount points sprinkled in the environment to use so you don't have to rely on a Cacodemon being in the right spot to do A Thing.

I don't know what the specific DLC 1 changes are going to be but Hugo was talking about the idea during one of the lets play episodes. The general thrust of his thinking was retuning the incidental encounters (the fights between arenas) to back off the pressure in some places to be more in line with their approach to DLC 2. I forget the reasoning/context and in which episode he was talking about it, but that's probably what you should be expecting. It might have been the episode where he switched to nightmare and had more time to go off the cuff when he stalled at an arena for like half an hour.

tuo posted:What I especially disliked about his behaviour was that he threw the iD software sound designer publicly under the bus (to the point that he received death threats)...the very same guy he applauded before for creating an athmosphere where creative work is possible and "failure" isn't punished, but instead analyzed and used to create a better product...basically doing exactly what he said does not happen at iD. Thus forcing Mike Straton to spill all the internal beans to explain why the soundtrack is not as good as it could be (working from the compressed game files etc.) It was especially frustrating to see it play out that way when we also learned just how far iD was extending help for Mick by delaying the OST for as long as they could legally push it before they could get in trouble for not releasing it as part of the launch bundle. They did everything possible to preserve the relationship.

It is a real testament to the engine team at Id that RTX has such, I'm not sure what word I want to use so I'll just go with minimal, impact on the visuals over all. For sure it looks prettier and all, I'm not trying to say otherwise, but its just crazy how much wizardry they were able to squeeze out of that code before.

Hasturtium posted:Yes, but that doesn't mean it was a satisfying decision or thematically appropriate given the game universe prior to Eternal. I could go into more detail but it'd hit spoiler territory hard and stay there for at least a solid paragraph. Bottom line: didn't like it, didn't feel like it fit, felt derivative and underwhelming instead of like descending into a hive of definitive villainy. They gave him multiple extensions and a lot of slack but they were had to release the OST as part of their pre-order bonus to avoid legal complications and at that point he only turned in the more ambient stuff. It sucks all around and honestly I think if they didn't have to ship the OST as part of the pre-order they'd have kept letting Gordon delay for a hell of a lot longer until it was ready.

Saying it's not how he'd mix the tracks isn't an endorsement to attack the guy who did end up finishing the album. The problem wasn't him egging it on but in his absolute silence on correcting the record when people took what little he did say and ran with it. Or in not telling people to knock that poo poo off when it started. Its a drat shame and ruined a very productive and good partnership but he only has himself to blame.

Shot in the dark but the controller profile as an input device at the OS level might be causing whatever is happening to be happening. Try disabling the device in the OS directly and see if that helps.

I think comparing Eternal to DMC isn't unfair, but I feel like Eternal and DMC are pulling from the same gameplay ideas (combat chess) rather than Eternal mimicking DMC. This might just be because the last DMC game I played was DMC1 and 2 when they first came out. But to my mind 2016 basically presented you with a no consequences combat chess. As such if you just wanted to run the game at speed using nothing but the SSG you could with no friction from the gameplay loop, even though the game itself was built with the idea that you'd not. Eternal refines the gameplay loop introduced in 2016, but also adds friction/pain points/consequences for going against the grain. This absolutely doesn't mean you can't still SSG/rocket launcher your way through the game, especially at lower difficulties, but more so that comes after figuring out how to work the new gameplay loop so you can more creatively stunt on it as opposed to just ignoring it like you could in 2016. Obviously some people bounced hard off that funneling you into the gameplay loop first before you gain enough mastery to choose to ignore it you want. I personally didn't mind it and had a blast with the game. Both games in new DooM are basically homages and love letters to all the cheesy 80s and early 90s source materials that OG DooM drew its own inspiration from. So if you are open to leaning into that kind of camp with them you'll probably like or at least not hate Eternal's story. Again, some people seriously bounced off of it, and that's fine, but since I was going into it expecting an over the top 80s cartoon metal music video of a story arc, I enjoyed it as well. So basically Eternal tries to be nothing other than what it is and tries to funnel you into engaging it in the way it was intended to be engaged. If you end up enjoying the ideas/mechanics they are iterating on you'll love Eternal, but if not you'll likely bounce off it. Depending on how you liked 2016 you have a good chance of liking 2016.
