the-dark-ages

[hard thistle]

The dlc music just has a lot of good riffs which i like, take reclaimed earth for example

Like multiple riffs in one song

[fading kelp]

Good take I agree

[simple mist]

Also tda had the first trailer ost

Which had a really good riff

[hard thistle]

just predownloaded the dark ages on my xbox

[vapid lodge]

HUH

[hard thistle]

approximate size of 100 gb

[fading kelp]

But there are always these Mick Gordon soundtracks that just hits different, like not all of them but the best are truly THE BEST

[vapid lodge]

You can do that??

[hard thistle]

it doesnt let me play it yet i gotta wait until the release date

[hard thistle]

with gamepass you can

[fading kelp]

Well that ain't bad for this years release

[hard thistle]

just go to the game page and itll let you install

[simple mist]

Yea

[fading kelp]

😅

[vapid lodge]

someone is going to hack into xbox and dig into the files, probably leak stuff

[simple mist]

Real

[fading kelp]

It could have been like over 150, glad it's only around a 100

Any of you have pre-ordered?

Its 90 on ps store

[hard thistle]

it says 100.0 gb so thats probably a very rough estimate

Considering how freaking gorgeous and huge this game looks, I can dig it.

could be 125

[vapid lodge]

Eternal was 35-ish on Launch

[simple mist]

My favorite thing about Nu doom tbh,is the fact that they're willing to experiment with the formula

[hard thistle]

I was ill-prepared to see the mace and the dual plasma cannon!

[fading kelp]

Of course bro they said it was the biggest map designs and long lasting levels in doom's history

[hard thistle]

whatd they add that increased the size by 50 gb

[vapid lodge]

what the hell did they to with this game

[fading kelp]

It will be worth every penny

[vapid lodge]

exactly

[hard thistle]

true

worth every penny that i dont pay since i get it for free

[fading kelp]

It will be longer than Eternal

And 2016

[vapid lodge]

Longer than infinity ?

[hard thistle]

hope its like 20 or 30 missions instead of just 13

[fading kelp]

Hell maybe even longer than eternal with ancient gods part one!!!

[fading kelp]

Yeah I see what you did there

[hard thistle]

Eternal had the base campaign and Battlemode, and as time went on there were more cosmetics, new maps and of course, Horde.

And TAG 1 and 2, can’t forget them!

[fading kelp]

Battlemode is a better version of 2016's multi-player wich felt left on touch and unfinished

[vapid lodge]

So is it really confirmed that Multiplayer will not exist in Dark ages?

[fading kelp]

I still don't think battlemode is that great but hey it's a single-player experience first so who cares

[hard thistle]

i hope they release it on time unlike doom eternal

tryna play it asap

[fading kelp]

Maybe coop 👀

If there is co op I'm pre-ordering this shit

[wind coral]

hey

[fading kelp]

They will

[fading kelp]

ID software is not like red project 😂😂

[vapid lodge]

A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is bad forever

[fading kelp]

True

[vapid lodge]

Ahem, cyberpunk

[fading kelp]

Of course except if the delay was worth for nothing

[wind coral]

bruh i just preordered premium edition the moment it came on steam where the normal edition had wrong date to be released on 31st december 2025 lmao

just now i saw some random video saying it wont have multiplayer and not even co-op

[hard thistle]

but ive been waiting for the new game for 7 months!!!!!

[fading kelp]

Cyberpunk was rushed but delayed at the same time

And today they made it better, they added a fuck ton of updates to the game and it's not bad

Of course that was all cause of Edgerunners

[hard thistle]

the hype is gonna kill me before the game even comes out

[frozen shuttle]

Should I buy the collectors edition?

[fading kelp]

Same

[hard thistle]

lonngest 4 months of my life

[neon perch]

Anyone else hear the meme scream when Hugo mentions 'ancient hell scapes' during the exploration part of the showcase?

[fading kelp]

Yeah 😅

[vapid lodge]

much less compared to eternal before launch

[hard thistle]

i didnt even know doom existed when eternal came out

[vapid lodge]

bruh

[hard thistle]

i was 10

[fading kelp]

Me neither 😂😂

[vapid lodge]

10? the hell I'm a freaking dinosaur, I was born the same year as DOOM 1

So 31 👀

[fading kelp]

I knew the game but I never played it before the trailer for Eternal

[hard thistle]

only first person shooter i played by that point is black ops 3

[fading kelp]

I remember that every youtuber were talking about it like Mark, Jack and it got a lot of attention

[simple mist]

First fps I got into was doom eternal

It sparked my interest in the genre

[unkempt thicket]

I always knew Doom was an FPS, and knew there was a reboot in 2016, but never really got interested into it until Eternal.

[fading kelp]

Me it was doom 2 my first

[unkempt thicket]

That was when I played the classics for the first time.

[fading kelp]

I fell in love for that smooth for the time gameplay

[hard thistle]

what yall think about the slider that changes how fast the game goes

[fading kelp]

I played quake after getting into doom

And Wolfenstein sparks my interest also

[sick juniper]

You guys think the bundle edition will be shipped internationally in some point?

[fading kelp]

Every id basically

[fading kelp]

The deluxe thing?

[simple mist]

Doom the skibidi ages when???

[fading kelp]

Nah

[simple mist]

(Joking)

[fading kelp]

💀

Lost soul

[hard thistle]

:hollow:

[fading kelp]

Damn you silenced the whole section 😂😂

Anyways...

[simple mist]

[fading kelp]

The shield makes me aroused

The shield is too good

[hard thistle]

not related to the dark ages but since there's people here do yall know if theres a way i can access the crucible without a bind

[fading kelp]

Nah I don't know

What about the hammer?

[hard thistle]

i binded 4 weapons to my controller

[fading kelp]

Wait no way

[hard thistle]

had to sacrifice the crucible button

[fading kelp]

Dude I just played battlemode

[sick juniper]

Collector's

[fading kelp]

And I saw you

Was it you? I think it was

Were you demon or slayer the whole time?

[simple mist]

No really I do like how nu doom isnt afraid to experiment as opposed to cod levels of stale gameplay

[hard thistle]

i havent played a battlemode game ever

[simple mist]

Same

[fading kelp]

Oh ok nevermind bro

[hard thistle]

my gamertag is different than my discord name too

[fading kelp]

Oh shit alright

What a coincidence

I think it was like Ayden 80 or some shit

😂

I actually never play battlemode

Except now

[storm prawn]

Doom The Dark Ages is the second Doom game with no multiplayer.
Doom 1 had it
Doom 2 had it
Final Doom had it
Doom 64 didn't have it
Doom 3 had it
Doom 2016 had it
Doom Eternal had it

[fading kelp]

Yeah that's one thing I love about dark ages

Oh well good observation sir

[hard thistle]

feel like a battlemode type thing wouldnt work in the dark ages unless they just copied the previous 2 online modes

[storm prawn]

The best thing would be a co op

[fading kelp]

Yeah I see it as only campaign based

[fading kelp]

Like co op yeah

I said that and I mean it

[storm prawn]

But still great as single player only

[fading kelp]

Of course for harder difficulties

The bosses will be harder

I can almos5 guarantee that

Have yall seen how strategic the weapon usage and melee will be?!

Its not all about fast pace skill

More about attention and focus

[simple mist]

Its gonna be diffrent for sure

[hard thistle]

Since we have a shield now, i feel like the boss fights are gonna take inspiration from rpg games boss fights

[fading kelp]

The bosses because of the slower paced and the technicality of it all it will be harder

[hard thistle]

Eternals bosses were boring looking back at it now

[tender vessel]

Today was like being in a toy store for me and my son with the announcement. We were both jumping up and down. It was hilarious.

[fading kelp]

It will look more like a soul like boss or God of war boss I'm pretty sure

[hard thistle]

God of war would be the closest comparison

[fading kelp]

They literally said like 10 seconds in the reveal that you were basically a tank

So it will be harder

[hollow sandal]

'Damage to demons' were on the difficulty slider. Are demons going to be damage sponges at higher diffs?

[fading kelp]

With warhammer and quake

[fading kelp]

Idk it will be changed im pretty sure cause it seemed a little unfinished imo

[thin zinc]

i like that they changed it up and you're a heavy tank this time and not spiderman like last time. i like the mix up

[fading kelp]

Too vague

[fading kelp]

Yeah I like it too, it will be literally all about focus, challenges and knowledge of your surroundings and your weapons

Like a soul game

Wich is great

[thin zinc]

it looks like they smashed elden ring and doom eternal together to make the best game of all time

[fading kelp]

Yeah

It almost looks open world

[thin zinc]

doom eterrnal and elden ring are easily my top 2 games of the last decade

[fading kelp]

If they didn't say that it was just long levels I would have assumed it was open world

[simple mist]

Imagine mayo% for this game

[fading kelp]

For me it's dead space remake, Doom eternal and Elden ring

👌

[thin zinc]

hell yeah brother!

[simple mist]

Doom eternal gravity circut metroid prime remastered splatoon3

Roboquest

[fading kelp]

But now that I think about it, it will be so difficult for the equivalent of nightmare

Like new game+ if that's what they make

[fading kelp]

I don't know about Nintendo, I would have said Zelda

[simple mist]

Ye

[fading kelp]

And metroid

But not splatoon

But I respect it

[simple mist]

Been really messing with sf6 too (off topic smh)

[fading kelp]

Ha right

Back to doom shall we 😅

[simple mist]

[fading kelp]

I don't know how the flail works

Maybe it's just like different animations for melee/medium range

🤔

[unreal tide]

They will be different melee options in a sub menu most likely

Because they said we are in complete control

[hard thistle]

I hoped the glory kills would be more tearing demons apart rather than flinging them around

[orchid latch]

My favourite religious game of all times got a prequel and I'm here for it

pity my wallet ain't

[fading kelp]

The gore mechanics are insane

The gradual precise body parts destruction is crazy

[tiny trail]

200$ for pre order 💀

[fading kelp]

No

Its 90

[tiny trail]

Lucky

[fading kelp]

In no country it's 200 bro 😂😂

[hard thistle]

https://youtu.be/FGFuaVUI6_E?si=e7qRJK_uuRG0MOzg&t=4m27s

Best part of the music

[fading kelp]

Insane actually

And the first trailer also was a banger ost

[tiny trail]

I went on my xbox for pre order and it said 200$

[fading kelp]

How???

[tiny trail]

Idk

[fading kelp]

Oh

Thats the expended version

[tiny trail]

Ohhhh

[fading kelp]

Like basically a deluxe

With like dlc, free stuff, a fuck ton more

[tiny trail]

That explains a lot

[fading kelp]

You should have bought game pass brother it's worth it 😂😂

[tiny trail]

I did

Best version 2

[fading kelp]

Oh nice

[tiny trail]

Ultimate

[fading kelp]

Same

I hope it comes with game pass as it should

Don't see why it wouldn't

[tiny trail]

Or just yk a price decrease

[fading kelp]

Nah if you have ultimate it should be free, at least I hope

[tiny trail]

Yeah

But some games that cost a lot like 70 or more they just decrease the price to like 20$ or 30

So they get some type of profit ig

[plucky plinth]

my dumbass is probably gonna do it anyways but I do personally suggest not preordering

[fading kelp]

Yeah well of course not every game in existence goes with it

But Bethesda normally is included

[tiny trail]

Yeah true

[harsh egret]

I bought the collectors edition within like 10 mins of it being announced

[plucky plinth]

also if you hate Denuvo, buy the game on console and not on PC

[astral summit]

This trailer was hype as fuсk

[harsh egret]

Cant wait man

Hope we get more stuff along the way

Id like a proper story trailer

[zenith briar]

Looks like there are some baddies

Within the ranks of the baddies

[austere dirge]

Im hoping maybe the game will have/eventually get nvidia texture compression or something otherwise I'm really cooked

[obsidian shard]

I bought it within a sec

[austere dirge]

Dunno if that will be on 30 series, nvidia didn't say anything

[harsh egret]

Any clue when we get the steam code btw, is it right before launch? Presuming you bought the pc steam version for it xD

[tired gazelle]

me and u both. i could play it on console but doom is just not the same on console

[tender vessel]

I don’t know whether to preorder or not.

[harsh egret]

u can wait for reviews later and then decide

ive learned to not preorder anything anymore but for doom im making every exception there is xd

[coarse meadow]

Oh my fucking god why is doom the dark ages is 200$?

[harsh egret]

starfield was the biggest mistake for me to preorder

[harsh egret]

thats collector's edition

[coarse meadow]

Oh…

[tender vessel]

Collectors edition offering 10 percent off to sign up for newsletter.

20 bucks is 20 bucks.

[harsh egret]

wut

i didnt see that

it wasnt anywhere on Bethesda store when i bought it

[tender vessel]

Oh.

[upbeat tree]

I would really love to play test this game's accessibility features

[tender vessel]

Actually it might be any addition on Bethesda site. @upbeat tree me too I have tremors that may not go away. Idk.

[nimble osprey]

[tender vessel]

Jabba the Makyr

[nimble osprey]

XD

[safe ice]

honestly I was tempted to preorder but those system requirements make me shiver

like maybe it can be played on the steam deck but Im worried of the possibility that it doesnt

[austere dirge]

In these past 3 years games got really demanding

New console generation i guess

[safe ice]

I dont really get why it forces RTX

[tender vessel]

Contextual AI.

[safe ice]

what?

[tender vessel]

Forces rtx because of ai benefits.

[safe ice]

oh ok

either way, even if it only hits like 30 or 40 frames, I hope it can be played on the steam deck

[unkempt thicket]

2016 and Eternal ran well on potatoes. Kinda sad indeed.

My friend played Eternal in an office PC.

[tender vessel]

You can do a search and find the PC specs for low, which sounds like what a steam deck would run.

[brave rock]

Forcing RTX provides a few benefits, a lot cheaper labor costs since the devs don't have to make the lighting themselves and it makes for more accurate hit detection

[arctic pagoda]

Kahn makyr? Na, Tonne makyr

[unkempt thicket]

It has Denuvo? Isn’t that what Eternal removed?

[arctic pagoda]

He puts the nom in Demonic possession

Bro be hyuge

[safe ice]

ah that makes more sense

[brave rock]

I'd imagine we'll see it a lot more in the upcoming future. Nanite works for texturization and lumen can auto create light pathing

So studios can save a lot of money by just using these software features reducing dev time. Of course this is essentially passing the cost onto the consumer because we need much stronger hardware to deal with the costs of raytracing and nanite or whatever hardware expensive features are forced

[final dune]

the pc specs hurt. what do i do bros

i dont have an nvme

and my gpu dont meet the minimum req

[safe ice]

eituer way I just hope it plays on the steam deck since thats the only thing I have that can play AAA titles lol

[restive matrix]

I’m building one for this game if you have the money I suggest upgrading your pc but I wouldn’t recommend doing it for one game unless you been planning on upgrading your pc

[austere dirge]

No nanite or lumen fortunately, those are exlusive to unreal engine, doom games are on id tech engine

[final dune]

i dont really know alot about upgrading pcs guh

[brave rock]

Lumen's just software raytracing, they're requiring hardware ray tracing I believe. But no nanite is good news for optimization

[brave rock]

what gpu u have?

[final dune]

like i have no idea which cpu, gpu and nvmes are compatable with my pc

amd radeon rx 5700

[brave rock]

Ah only 6000 series and newer are capable of hardware ray tracing right

[austere dirge]

Yes

[final dune]

is there a way to see what mobo i have?

[brave rock]

Well for your gpu it's pretty simple, it depends on your power supply, you just need to make sure you have enough watts. Nvmes are compatible with most motherboards just find out if you have an m.2 slot, but I doubt you really need an nvme specifically an ssd should work (Maybe im wrong?)

[brave rock]

Windows search bar, run, and in run type dxdiag

[safe ice]

wait but doesnt the game use path tracing? why would it need lumen?

[arctic pagoda]

We got anorexic makyr, obese makyr, up next, slightly above average makyr

[brave rock]

it'll show your motherboard as "System modell"

[restive matrix]

The specs for dark ages is nutty dude

[brave rock]

It doesn't I just mean in general

[safe ice]

oh

[valid sapphire]

What are they

[brave rock]

and more than likely you wont be using path tracing

[valid sapphire]

I lowkey haven't seen them

[brave rock]

path tracing is extremely demanding so i would just turn that shit off

[restive matrix]

https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en-US/article/doom-the-dark-ages-pc-specs

[final dune]

says "ms-7c56"

[brave rock]

I believe that's the mpg b550 motherboard from msi

[austere dirge]

Am4

That's good

[valid sapphire]

Not to demean or anything

[austere dirge]

Upgradable

[valid sapphire]

Idk what y'all are waffling about

[final dune]

b550-a-pro
i swapped mobos a lil ago

[valid sapphire]

My $1200 2022 laptop can run that

[restive matrix]

Still gonna need a good rig to keep it at 60fps with 4k resolution

Or higher frames

[valid sapphire]

Who needs 4k

[arctic pagoda]

I like ray Liotta

[restive matrix]

Sadly me 😫

[restive matrix]

Me too tipsy

[final dune]

are you talking about me?

[arctic pagoda]

Yay

[restive matrix]

What’s your favorite movie from him

[final dune]

alr so uhh what do i get

maybe ill get some upgrades within the next couple months

[austere dirge]

Yeah, ur board am4 cpu socket, if you want to upgrade there are quite a few and not crazy expensive upgrades

[valid sapphire]

Mine supports mid requirements

So like

[restive matrix]

I mean it’s coming out in 4 months and you don’t have to get it day one

[final dune]

i know that i can put in an nvme but i dunno what cpus and gpus to get

[final dune]

yeah

and geez i thought star citizen specs were high

[arctic pagoda]

The bee movie

[austere dirge]

Post your gpu and cpu, i can give you a few suggestions on what to look

[restive matrix]

I’m gonna target ultra setting to get the best possible experience I only paid like 1,500 dollars for all my parts and me and my friend are gonna build it since he built a pc before

[final dune]

alright my gpu is an amd radeon rx 5700 and my cpu is an amd ryzen 3700x

[restive matrix]

His rig is so nice too watched him play cyberpunk on it looked amazing

Sad there is no multiplayer for dark ages it was fun dicking around in the multiplayer of the games with friends

[valid sapphire]

I don't get people who need 4k

1080p works fine on my 4k monitor

[restive matrix]

It’s a nice option and I like 4k resolution and textures I’m a graphics nerd I’m sorry but I also love pixel art games and games that don’t aren’t hyper realistic

[arctic pagoda]

It's ok

[valid sapphire]

Maybe I'm just saying that cause I'm broke 🤷

[restive matrix]

Based

[valid sapphire]

You do you

[arctic pagoda]

Ye

[restive matrix]

Nah you’re good dude

Anyway anyone play any good doom mods recently

[valid sapphire]

I'll buy a PC when the 50 series comes out

[valid sapphire]

9 ultra realistic escape from tarkov CRT/fisheye effect mods loaded at once

[final dune]

also 64 gb of ram

[valid sapphire]

Ion get people who complain about ram

It's so cheap

[final dune]

so what do you suggest @austere dirge ?

[restive matrix]

I played doom the gallery experience because it looked good

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i589uj2xz4o

[valid sapphire]

Ohh I saw that on yt

[austere dirge]

I dont have an idea of your budget but for cpu:
7 5700X3D (200+ usd)
5600x (cheaper, 6 cores. 135 usd)
Gpu idk, Nvidia lacks vram, 8 gigs is a joke. Maybe wait for intel or smth

[valid sapphire]

Battlemage gonna be lit

[austere dirge]

Or if rx 9070 is ~400 that is an amazing gpu

[final dune]

so 8 gigs is bad i take it?

[austere dirge]

Yeah. Bare minimum right now

[final dune]

hmmm i might get that in a couple months then

is that amd?

[austere dirge]

Yes

[restive matrix]

Hopefully someone can mod doom the dark ages combat into doom 2 I need something to kill the wait for it

[final dune]

also would it fit with my mobo and stuff?

im planning to get someone else to install the parts anyways like i did in the past so i just wanna check

[valid sapphire]

Chat predictions will my laptop run dark ages worse than 3do doom?

[restive matrix]

It’ll probably run fine if you have the settings on low

[austere dirge]

I think so, if case is not small it will be fine.

[restive matrix]

Also I just got ptsd seeing 3do doom

[final dune]

my case is pretty giant i think

[valid sapphire]

Yep

[final dune]

what about nvme? what should i get for that and what would fit with my mobo?

[final dune]

also the question is where do i even buy these parts? like what website?

[upbeat tree]

I would really love to interview the team why they are adding these accessibility features this time around

[valid sapphire]

Local stores

Depends where you live. For me that'd be like Canada computers or smth

[thorny yarrow]

The more I think about it the more I'm surprised by it. I was expecting much more leeway on the specs, just on account of ID's Track record with optimization.

[valid sapphire]

Microsoft. It's all Microsoft.

[austere dirge]

Idk what ssd/hhd u have rn. Any ssd should be enough if it's not very old. And stores idk, local ones probably

[thorny yarrow]

Like I do have some trust that even though I technically don't meet minimum specs, I'll be able to run it fine anyway, given that track record. But this is a bit to take in.

[austere dirge]

I highly doubt very fast ssd is actually needed, just an okay one. Fps doesn't change much if the drive isn't extremely slow, only loading times may

[valid sapphire]

Guys... I think Keifers may be Awesome.

[fast dirge]

Haven’t played it yet but this game is already S tier

[weary current]

whoa hold on hold on
who was that dude with the scar on his forehead in the trailer? cause i know that is NOT davoth

[valid sapphire]

Who is davoth

[fading kelp]

The betrayer

[delicate grotto]

Probably a Hell Priest or some corrupted Argentian

[valid sapphire]

I'm not into the lore

[fading kelp]

Bro got spoiled

[valid sapphire]

I don't give a damn about the lore

[austere dirge]

If you do want an nvme, 1tb drive is around 60 eur/usd here and i think there should be a slot or two in your motherboard

[delicate grotto]

Doom’s version of the Devil

[valid sapphire]

Who cares dawg it's a monster shooter

[weary current]

yeah, the dark lord lmao

[delicate grotto]

He’s also technically the creator

[thorny yarrow]

The NVME requirement is probably the more dumbfounding thing to me as well. Aside from the fact that my NVME slot is taken up by my C drive, and I have a different SSD dedicated to my games, I feel like that is asking a lot quite fast. Dead Space remake didn't even come out that long ago requiring a normal SSD. And I was like, fine yeah sure.

[valid sapphire]

Ty.

[final dune]

i have ab 870 evo. also like i said i know next to nothing about where to buy parts so would bestbuy work?

[weary current]

yeah i was thinking it was a corrupted argentian too, kinda like nilox to some degree

[final dune]

maybe ill get an nvme but swap my e drive for it

[valid sapphire]

Just check your local shop's websites if they have it and compare prices.

[thorny yarrow]

Like I'll put it on my C drive if I must and it actually makes a difference, but unless it's actually too much, that shit is going on my normal ass SSD.

[final dune]

fanks

[fading kelp]

Wow ok so thats pretty unfortunate

[valid sapphire]

I got you.

[fading kelp]

Im sorry for you

[final dune]

yeah he looks stupid can we kill him

[valid sapphire]

I am about to quote sometht

[fading kelp]

You miss the greatness of doom 😞

[valid sapphire]

The greatness of doom is the action what are you on

[fading kelp]

Its everything

[valid sapphire]

Socking demons in the face with a blood punch

[thorny yarrow]

Different stroke for different folks, especially when tlit comes to Doom.

[fading kelp]

When you review a game bro you don't just look at one aspect

You look at every one, graphics, mechanics, gameplay, music, themes, characters, etc

[valid sapphire]

To be fair it's an action fps not a storybook

[thorny yarrow]

I am encyclopedic on the lore of Doom, cause I think it's cool.

It's totally understandable if you would rather not experience the tolkeinxpsychosis background plot of new doom if your main draw is punching demons to shreds.

[austere dirge]

870 evo should be alright

[valid sapphire]

Yes but you don't rate for example... Vib-Ribbon on the Action aspect do you?

[old axle]

are the spec requirements much higher than eternal?

[valid sapphire]

I'm not hating on people who like the lore

[thorny yarrow]

Quite.

[fading kelp]

Yeah also

[austere dirge]

8gb vram minimum

[delicate grotto]

Yeah quite a bit

[valid sapphire]

But it's not my thing, and I like classic doom more as well

[old axle]

that sucks. thanks.

[fading kelp]

If it fits the genre I rate it pretty high

[final dune]

alright i found this on the site. is an "Radeon RX 7700XT BLACK 12GB" good for it or nah?

[thorny yarrow]

Which is also quite disappointing.

[delicate grotto]

Agreed, but hey, looks pretty lol

[old axle]

what good does that mean if i cant run it lol

[valid sapphire]

That's not how games work. If a game is in a certain genre but has different elements and mechanics you rate it differently.

[simple mist]

I'm sure a potato pc tda mod will come out

[arctic pagoda]

Its certainly interesting

[delicate grotto]

Very fair. I’m gonna have to invest in some new equipment to play it as well.

[fading kelp]

Your fucking background flashbanged me on your profile holy shit I need sunglasses

[austere dirge]

It's quite good gpu. Yeah. If it's not above 460 eur/usd that's good. (Assuming it's new)

[old axle]

your welcome!

[arctic pagoda]

Keeping similar mechanics from '93 while adding 2016 ones too

[thorny yarrow]

I'm going to stubbornly refuse to upgrade my PC until I see just how bad it actually runs on it. Cause I'm also somewhat salty that my PC skirts the minimum requirements for it while still falling short.

[fading kelp]

Yeah

But slower than 2016

[arctic pagoda]

Ye

[fading kelp]

More tanky

But the melee makes it worth it

[valid sapphire]

chat hear me out on doom rpg remake

[austere dirge]

Runs indiana jones 80 fps 1440p max settings. (Dark ages will use same engine)
Should be good

[final dune]

i sent you a dm for some parts that i think are good

[austere dirge]

12gb vram is not perfect but should last until next generation of consoles

[thorny yarrow]

The biggest kicker of it all is, unless I'm wrong, The Dark Ages runs on the same idTech engine as Eternal.

[valid sapphire]

holy

[hard thistle]

I'll be honest with y'all before sleeping

I don't brother about the "step back" with glory kills

Its idtech 8 now

[fading kelp]

Is Djibouti the poorest country on earth, just a question?

[fleet shadow]

I need to upgrade my PC anyway so it's more reason to upgrade, but it means buying a whole new motherboard

[hard thistle]

Eternals engine cannot handle the scale the dark ages has

[woven jolt]

id tech 8 now

[valid sapphire]

no

why?

[thorny yarrow]

Ah. I stand corrected.

[fading kelp]

Cause it's always on like documentaries about the poorest parts of Africa

[delicate grotto]

Although it’ll add more fluidity to the combat, I will miss its brutality. I definitely see a lot of repetitiveness with what was shown in the reveal today, but that’s probably not fair to say since we only saw it performed on a couple different demons.

[fading kelp]

Some countries are rich in Africa but Djibouti is poor very poor

[valid sapphire]

im not from africa, as much as my name will make you believe. but im a from a poor country.

[fleet shadow]

My concern though is how much Doom has been cannibalizing off of the Quake series. Unless this is part of a grander tie-in, Quake feels like Id's spare parts bin at this point :/

[fading kelp]

Oh ok but Djibouti is in Africa

[valid sapphire]

i know

[thorny yarrow]

It's been far too long since we had a single player Quake.

[fading kelp]

QUAKE!!!

I miss quake

[woven jolt]

people are saying dark ages will be slower, but some people thought doom eternal first looked slower than 2016, and we all know that's not true

[fleet shadow]

They already copied the quad damage, nailgun, slipgates, some of the lore

[fading kelp]

Quake 2 was so good, it's sad that last quake was not as great

It was a good arena shooter but not the best quake at all

[hard thistle]

Repetitiveness? Elaborate please

[fleet shadow]

The Doom hunter and one of the new enemies from D:TDA are literally like stuff out of Quake 2

[valid sapphire]

lowkey i might go play vib-ribbon

[jolly herald]

from looking at the footage i think i might understand how some of the big resource management works

[delicate grotto]

What was shown:
A kick to the demon, gibbing it.
A flail to the demon, gibbing it.
A punch to the demon, gibbing it.
Didn’t see much variety outside of that when it came to the reworked GK system. Not much of a complaint, I like the new approach, but I will miss the uniqueness of 2016’s and Eternal’s animations.
Again though, we didn’t see these performed on a lot of different demons so I’m sure there’s more to it.

[jolly herald]

the melee system seems to replace the old chainsaw's main resource function cuz most melee attacks i saw dropped ammo and theyd use up that 3-pip gauntlet icon thingy kinda like the chainsaw's 3 pips

[valid sapphire]

i think its for show

[fleet shadow]

I do like awesome gibbitude in my Id games

[thorny yarrow]

Do we even directly know what happens if you load a game that requires an NVME off of a SATA SSD? Is it really that much of a difference?

[valid sapphire]

the gibbing and all adds more dramatic effect to the trailer

[velvet ledge]

Game companies always show slower footage for media events, where they’re mostly aiming at things in front of them.

[hard thistle]

Oh, I get your point! I thought you were talking about a concern I've seen on the dungeons

[jolly herald]

for armor it seems like enemies have a guard or armor plating that you can shoot off or break apart by using the shieldsaw and that's how armor drops

[woven jolt]

it's a precision system,
aim for the arms, cut them off, legs, cut them off
if you want to, you can leave a demon running around with no arms,
the main purpose was to keep the fluidity of the gameplay
also, the instakill in the trailer was probably just to look cool

[jolly herald]

they had lil armor plate icons next to the crosshair sometimes shooting an enemy till the icon cracks and armor would pop out of them

[delicate grotto]

Ah you know, I remember that being mentioned. I forgot it’s more dynamic than what was shown. Looking forward to seeing what you can do when the game releases.

[grave pilot]

hey guys i’ve just joined but i made my own doom eternal trailer

i’m about to send it into the video channel, would you guys mind checking it out ?

[woven jolt]

yeah, that's what Hugo meant by "any angle"
like, with the Pinky demon riders, you can aim for the rider and hit them off

[burnt panther]

I kinda wish it gave you a choice in execution

[hard thistle]

I don't think this is the right channel for THAT

[grave pilot]

i wasn’t sure where to say it sorry 😭

i just saw this was the most active

[valid sapphire]

probably where it says videos

if people want to see new videos, theyd go to that channel and not a game channel

but i hope your trailer is banger

[grave pilot]

nooo i sent the link there i just mentioned it on here

[grave pilot]

thank you

[grave cave]

DOOM TRAILER FUCKING BANGS!!

[valid sapphire]

its good

[icy cradle]

ok so i usually dont type or chat in Discord stuff.... but watching the trailer and Midnights video, i had to come in and say that im so fucking excited for DOOM THE DARK AGES (i already bought the 200$ bungle

Damn, I looked away for 5 minutes and this happens.

[valid sapphire]

thats what im saying

[thorny yarrow]

Anyway, I do hope there will be more talk about the engine and the optimization in the future. Cause in the end, those specs are kinda crazy. Even my friend, who is a computer engineer, advised me to not worry, and considering ID's Track record, I hope my faith in their skill isn't misplaced.

[valid sapphire]

🙏

[small bobcat]

i notice there no glory kills:(

[sand osprey]

AHOY!
Soo everyone already seen the news and all, but do anyone know whats special with the deluxe edition?
when I got Eternal I got the deluxe edition as well to get the extra stuff, though I cant find any more details about TDA deluxe and what "extra" there would be? anyone knows?

[lavish hull]

new doom rtx only, damn.

Im going to change my graphic card to rtx 5070ti

all devs, sorry

okay new patches for gtx support, idk

[small bobcat]

remember new graphics cards coming

[lavish hull]

yes

[sand osprey]

The Dark Ages gonna have multiplayer?

[small bobcat]

idk maybe

[safe ice]

since it'll have skins, probably

(get ready for the filesize to increase by like 20GB in a few years)

[sand osprey]

I htink I saw something about some type of anti tamper thing, so Im hoping xD

[sand osprey]

uff, jippie wahoo time to bloat the storage!

[rocky badger]

They confirmed no multiplayer

[sand osprey]

ooh, but then why this thing "Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-Tamper" hmm

[zenith briar]

Saved all the multiplayer for the pixel bros

[plain iron]

Why would they do this to me

I mean why would they have skins

[north spire]

seeing a lot of good things :)

[hard thistle]

20 is generous

[north spire]

im hoping the soundtrack has some standout gems much like the ancient gods part 1 and 2

[plain iron]

I'm still huffing my copium from lack of samur

He's just

[rocky badger]

I guess just for cutscenes now

[north spire]

also since the skin system is confirmed to be returning, I hope we get the option to wear the doom 2016 armour for continuity

[shy linden]

I saw all the Doomtuber getting resurrected after the gameplay reveals drop

[unreal tide]

Collectors Edition acquired men, we ride for Urgot in May

[unreal tide]

Well technically we may not be able to because that armor wasn't made for him by the Wanderer until after he was forcefully casted back into hell after the fall of Urgot

Not Urgot, Sentinel Prime

[hard thistle]

Thats the name yes ive been thinking that one demon looked like a league character

[north drum]

soo developer_direct, what did you think of it?

[unreal tide]

Absolutely tits

[toxic cloak]

No more glory kills it’s so over

[north drum]

this could be one of the best video game trilogies if they don't mess this one up

[unreal tide]

Pov you spread mis information

[north drum]

well Wolfenstein isn't even a trilogy unless you count old blood and there's a rumored Wolfenstein 3

[toxic cloak]

Doing a kick or a punch is not a glory kill

[unreal tide]

Its one of the many* options we'll have

[toxic cloak]

No shooting them isn’t a glory kill either

[north drum]

idk man pre-baked execution animations gets old after a while, change can be good

[unreal tide]

Thank you!

[north drum]

a lot of games have execution type animations

[toxic cloak]

If you didn’t want the glory kill you can just shoot them afterwards

[north drum]

but no helth

[toxic cloak]

Glory kills are fun

That’s ok

You should be doing them anyway because they are cool

[north drum]

yes they are fun and they can be a tiny break in-between the action

but innovation

doom can't stay the same forever, I don't want 20 doom eternal's

[toxic cloak]

They already gave perks that made glory kills faster this was a good work around

More glory kills are the innovation

[wheat sigil]

It wasn't entirely though, they're still perceived as boring and unnecessary cutscenes by many

[unreal tide]

https://tenor.com/view/what's-wrong-with-you-ricky-berwick-what's-your-problem-gif-12808794530545576597

[toxic cloak]

So shoot them and skip the glory kill

[unreal tide]

I will die on this hill lol

[toxic cloak]

Killing them when low gives hp even without a glory kill

[plain iron]

I just want cool skins and a co-op multiplayer

[wheat sigil]

That's what I almost always do, glory killing is only for when I fuck up
But there still should've been an option to turn of the movie long cutscene

[toxic cloak]

Them not having coop was wild especially if we are gonna have skins in a single player first person shooter

[toxic cloak]

A perk that makes it real fast

[plain iron]

Like what's the point

[wheat sigil]

No, I am literally telling you that I and many others still find them annoying and boring lmao

There was no reason to force an animaton

[toxic cloak]

It’s not forced at all

[wheat sigil]

TDA seems to have gone in a way better direction though

[toxic cloak]

If you just want them dead and to also eat vanilla ice cream and white bread you can shoot them or set them on fire or do anything else

[wheat sigil]

Explain, every time you glory kill, the animation is literally forced

[toxic cloak]

So don’t glory kills

[wheat sigil]

Never glory killing is a severe hindrance to your own gameplay

[unreal tide]

So don't play the game...?

[toxic cloak]

You can’t be serious

This is satire you really had me going

[wheat sigil]

I can assure you, I am not joking, I really don't understand what you aren't getting here

[sacred relic]

I'm sad dark ages isn't on switch 😔

[toxic cloak]

I too wish the game looked like a ps3 exclusive

Damn what a shame

[half umbra]

Dawg your switch would probably crack in half if I ran something like that

[sacred relic]

Rf tho

It can't even run FN correctly 😭😔

[wheat sigil]

Glory kills are boring for a lot of people
They are forced to some extent if you don't want to nerf yourself
So there should've been an option to skip the animation

When you have 1000 hours in the game, the time spent glory killing starts to rack up

[sacred relic]

Prob explode

[toxic cloak]

So ignoring that said people are wrong factually if you don’t want to glory kill you and you need health just set them on fire or freeze them or use all the other tools at your disposal

[unreal tide]

https://tenor.com/view/the-joke-superman-flying-missing-the-joke-not-getting-the-joke-gif-16558902

@wheat sigil Not you scoot lol

[toxic cloak]

And the vast vast majority of people are playing the campaign once and done which is far shorter then the time it takes to get tired of a glory kill

Man I forgot what I was saying

Point is god damn they are cool

[sacred relic]

NGL in every server I'm in there's a pokemon server exclusive sticker

[unreal tide]

Its okay dawg lol I knew you were kidding but idk about this guy

[sacred relic]

[toxic cloak]

The ragdolls might be a somewhat worthy trade off

They could be real funny

[wheat sigil]

These options are all worse in situations where you need to get back brink of death or something

[unreal tide]

But think about it, there will be 100s of combinations not just like 5 to 6 per enemy type with small differences

[wheat sigil]

So make it an option in the settings to turn the animation off, my whole point is that a forced animation is bad, I'm not saying "get rid of GKs"

[toxic cloak]

Well if everything was an option that would be preferable

Not like it matters how much you modify your game since there will be no co op multiplayer

[unreal tide]

Dkc?

[toxic cloak]

It can be overlooked the game looks like it’s testosterone inducing enough

Wouldn’t want an overdose I guess

[strong sage]

Any chance Doom The Dark Ages Collector’s Edition will be available for preorder through GameStop?

[unreal tide]

Imagine a co op doom

[scenic lichen]

I’m personally more of a fan of the approach they took with executions in dark ages

[strong sage]

I am hoping so

[unreal tide]

I got mine on the website through Afterpay

[strong sage]

GameStop does not charge for preorders until they ship, so that’s why prefer it. I’ve preordered so many Collector’s Editions over the years through them.

[hard thistle]

It's definitely a gamble since they're shaking it up so much. My only hope is that it feels good and satisfying to use

[strong sage]

I have the Doom Demon Statue, the Slayer Helmet from Eternal, now I want that Slayer statue.

[north drum]

not as good as some other games

[scenic lichen]

I think we’ll grow to appreciate it more, the way I see it is that we got glory kills reworked in favor of a brutal melee system

and also picture once you play the game for challenge runs you’ll start to appreciate how quick the executions are

[north drum]

there's always mods

[scenic lichen]

that’s just my opinion, I love glory kills even with 700 hours on eternal but there are times where I’m like “ok lemme exit this animation please”

[north drum]

what does collectors edition have I'm too lazy to google

[toxic cloak]

Near 0% chance this ever happens but it is what it is

[wheat sigil]

We got co-op in DE via mods🤷‍♂️

[north drum]

it's a cool idea but it needs to be rebalanced since doom gameplay rn is designed for single player

maybe nerf some weapons or make movement slightly slower

[wheat sigil]

But it'd probably be a stretch to get in TDA, due to there not being any multiplayer from the beginning

[north drum]

two powerful slayers would break the game balance

[wheat sigil]

In Eternal, the arenas just got harder instead

[unreal tide]

My dream Co-Op doom is a what Dark Ages already is with huge environments and crank the enemy density up to 1000 and let to beefed up Doom Marines go to town

[wheat sigil]

I think that's more fun than being nerfed

[unreal tide]

Okay so do Doom Slayer and a sentinel buddy

Co-op glory kills on bigger demons anyone?

[north drum]

nah I think arenas designed around co-op is better than just stretching maps bigger or adding more enemies

a dedicated co-op campaign

[hard thistle]

I always thought the betrayer would make for a good player 2

[north drum]

they could make a co-op dlc so it's not too much of a risk, maybe a few co-op levels but not enough for a full game so they don't lose too much money if it fails

[wheat sigil]

Arenas designed around co-op isn't bad, but unless you add more enemies, co-op will always trivialize the encounters, which is boring

[north drum]

a lot of games have that problem

[wheat sigil]

Doesn't make it okay for another game to just do the same, I don't see where your reluctance for more enemies stems from

[north drum]

maybe a revive mechanic or enemies like the witch and tank from l4d2

[cloud schooner]

Im worried my PC is under the minimun specs... 😭

[north drum]

it's not co-op if you can run the entire thing solo

[north drum]

it probably is

[cloud schooner]

The GPU seams to be good

[north drum]

you can always buy AI frames from Nvidia

[wheat sigil]

That's why there should be more enemies
(But a skilled enough player will always be able to run it solo anyways)

[cloud schooner]

but my prosseser came out in 2023

[wheat sigil]

I'm pretty sure my PC is literally on the edge for minimum

[cloud schooner]

I have a 3090

[wheat sigil]

I have a 3060

[north drum]

yea but if you just put more enemies, it becomes a horde shooter that's obnoxious. l4d2 and gtfo have special enemies on top of the hordes

[cloud schooner]

I can proibly just pass going at low

[safe stratus]

I just saw the trailer

But I kept thinking a game for everyone is a game for no one

Also cutscenes?

[half plaza]

Hold R to skip

[north drum]

you're fine

[wheat sigil]

The concept worked fine in Eternal's co-op
And are master levels also just obnoxious? No, they have more enemies to be able to cater to more advanced players

[north drum]

3090 is not outdated yet

someone will somehow get it running on 1080 ti, that thing is a beast

[half plaza]

3080 was the recommended for 1440p 60fps

[wheat sigil]

Yeah, I just hope the combat is as deep and allows for as many playstyles as Eternal did

[burnt panther]

Imagine the combos people would be doing on co-op

[safe stratus]

I want to be able to play as I want too and not just one way

[north drum]

but it would needs skills and abilities based around co-op

[wheat sigil]

You're allowed that in Eternal, which is what I hope they keep

[burnt panther]

Yeah you can’t really throw in co-op all Willy nilly but it would be funny to watch people abuse the system

[safe stratus]

I don’t know it felt rather slow

[north spire]

i wonder how much classic doom content will influence the dark ages

specifically doom 64 content

[safe stratus]

I own all the games

Except 64

[plain iron]

64 makes me wanna remove my skin

[safe stratus]

I don’t count as its own game

[north drum]

doom 3?

[safe stratus]

Yes

[north drum]

well doom 64 wasn't bad at all

[safe stratus]

I don’t have a emulator or a N64

[cloud schooner]

What Cosmentics do you'll think we will have for ol doomy

[plain iron]

Hoping we get a continuation for the maykr skins

[safe stratus]

Average befesda skins

[plain iron]

The ones we got so far are alright I guess

[safe stratus]

I just like ID software

[plain iron]

But I want mechanical angels

[cloud schooner]

Doom 3 Marien

[plain iron]

I'm still not okay w the big ass maykr

Like what is that

[cloud schooner]

but ID Are too afraid to acknowledge peak

[safe stratus]

They made doom a horror game with that one

[cloud schooner]

If I had to make a assumption, The Doom universe's Jabba the Hut

[plain iron]

It doesn't look like a higher maykr

[cloud schooner]

Not just by his size

[plain iron]

I should draw up a chart

[cloud schooner]

Like maybe he's like a gangster maykr

[safe stratus]

It feels weird being on the ground in dark ages

[cloud schooner]

mobster kinda deal

[safe stratus]

After all the jumping and climbing and stuff

[plain iron]

Okay so this isn't a canon thing but it's a categorisation I've made from observing maykrs and their lore

[cloud schooner]

Like I know I sound silly saying that but I'm being kind of serious

am I making sence

[drowsy talon]

doom the dark ages ilooks seriously GOATED in my opinion im as excited on the level of how beavis is when he is the great cornholio

[plain iron]

He seems like he's above the maykr deacons, given his halo on the back, but he's definitely not above the khan maykr, or the seraphs

Drones - deacons - - khan maykr - seraphs - the father - davoth

Is the running hierarchy

[safe ice]

I think he's fine

[plain iron]

He's just

[safe ice]

dont really see a problem with his existence

He's fleshy. And non transfigured maykrs aren't fleshy

[cloud schooner]

Like Larger people show their welth and power

idk

[drowsy talon]

how excited i am for doom the dark ages

[plain iron]

I'd suppose but like... look at Samur, that bitch is a stick

[north drum]

unpopular opinion, doom platforming isn't that good

[safe stratus]

To be fair I could not beat the last level with all the platforming

[wheat sigil]

I can agree, the platforming in DE is kinda lackluster

[plain iron]

Understandable

[drowsy talon]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-eternal-doomguy-doom-slayer-doom-guy-shotgun-gif-27413588

[wheat sigil]

It should've been more closely related to real combat movement

[safe stratus]

I like the platforming puzzles

[north drum]

mirror's edge

[wheat sigil]

But it's a tiny part of the game, so I don't really care

[gleaming swallow]

MEEM: The Dank Ages

[grave cave]

whats the price for collectors edition (AU currency)

[scenic lichen]

Got the collectors edition

[drowsy talon]

i know its called a mech but are the game developers seriously giving us the most OP weapon ever a 30 STORY UNHINGED SERIOUSLY DESTRUCTIVE MEGAZORD!

[hard thistle]

should i save up to buy the collectors edition?

[north drum]

titanfall dark ages

I know it's more like armored core

[drowsy talon]

but did they stop there noooooo they gave us the holy diver of all rides a bio mechanical minigun mounted DRAGON!

[wheat sigil]

It'll be interesting to see how well these things are implemented

[thin zinc]

i have a friend that ordered it. that is a pretty awesome statue

[deep plinth]

how big is said statue

[thin zinc]

12 inches

[deep plinth]

ykw, probably worth it

[thin zinc]

probably pretty limited i guess

not sure how limited

[hard thistle]

if i do end up getting it (just gotta save up a bit more money) that statue gonna be displayed forever 🙏

[thin zinc]

yeah i mean if you're a huge doom fan 100 extra bucks for that badass statue you'll have forever. seems reasonable to me.

i have the marcus fenix that came with gears of war 3 back in 2010 or whatever still displayed

[hard thistle]

worst case scenario if i cant get enough money in time ill just buy the premium edition

[deep plinth]

Aw damn i might be too broke, hopefully they come out with some fire banners

still got my Doom Eternal banner

[vagrant path]

Where in the lore of urdak does this thing even fit

[thin zinc]

it takes place between doom 64 and doom 2016

[plain iron]

I DONT KNOW

IDK WHAT HE DOES

AND URDAK LORE IS MY FAVOURITE TBING IN THE WORLD

[vagrant path]

afaik the makyrs only had like 3 variations of themselves, the angels, khan, and the seraphs.

[hard thistle]

gonna head to bed goodnight guys

[vagrant path]

And I guess the drones but I'm pretty sure those are infant forms.

[thin zinc]

at the end of doom 64 the doom GUY stays in hell to hold back the demons. the night sentinels find him after years and years just wandering around down there and bring him into their army (the part where you see the flashback where he's in the arena in doom eternal) and he becomes the Doom SLAYER. this takes place after that part, before Doom 2016. I THINK.

[plain iron]

There's a few more presumably but like

[deep plinth]

sleep tight and don’t let the bedbugs bite

[plain iron]

[vagrant path]

Fat makyr

[plain iron]

We don't get samur but we got that mf

[vagrant path]

how does that even happen

[thin zinc]

doom64 is the true doom 3. it's the sequel to doom 2 and has the doom guy, unlike the actual doom 3

[vagrant path]

how does a makyr get FAT, I thought they were literally made of porcelain and cybernetics

[plain iron]

LITERALLY. They're mechanical creatures 😭

That shit hurts me

[vagrant path]

I mean I have no problem with it cause honestly the makyrs need more variation imo

[deep plinth]

must be built different or something idk

[wheat sigil]

Maybe someone wanted to be a fat robot🤷‍♂️

[vagrant path]

but STILL

[thin zinc]

im happy dark ages has actual cutscenes with dialogue and the story isn't completely in codexes you have to read 😄

[plain iron]

He just pisses me off

[vagrant path]

where did this guy come from?

[deep plinth]

eh I enjoyed collecting the codexes

[plain iron]

I don't like how it has some seraph aspects (gold things on the chin)

[deep plinth]

Got to appreciate the world n the surroundings

[vagrant path]

he looks like that one medieval painting of that weird babyface bishop

[plain iron]

LITERALLY

Though something I've always loved w the maykrs is their halos

[deep plinth]

the but y painting?

or wtv the meme was

[plain iron]

Rings behind their head, which matches the biblical depictions of angels

[vagrant path]

Okay so looking at the gameplay overview, maybe the fat makyr is some sorta judge?

a jailor?

[plain iron]

mm maybe

[vagrant path]

maybe him being extra large has to do with the greed and degredation/stagnation of the makyrs as told by some of the codexes from TAG 1 & 2.

or depending on how far along the timeline this is, argent energy maybe.

I mean the makyrs are sentient beings capable of falling to corruption, khan makyr herself being an example, so maybe the fattie is the same sorta deal.

big guy in power getting too greedy.

[vagrant path]

Yea

definitely hyped for the lore of this game

gonna have a field day with it

[deep plinth]

I just can’t wait to play it

Chainsaw shield is definitely wicked

[vagrant path]

also love the promise of more customizable difficulty

could make new runs more interesting

[slim blaze]

the best part abt this game is gonna be the lore being presented within cutscenes rather than codex entries

[north drum]

I'm not a fan of cutscenes tho, hopefully they're skippable

[slim blaze]

ofc theyre skippable lol

but they look way too compelling to skip

[north drum]

I collect audio logs, diary entries etc in games and then never read or listen to them lmao

[slim blaze]

same lmao

[north drum]

the games usually ends before I get invested enough in the lore

[plain iron]

I love lore

[north drum]

doom 2016 cutscenes aren't skippable

[slim blaze]

matter of fact i rush games just to find out the lore, ruining my first playthru

[slim blaze]

eternal is

2016 is too besides the intro and that one samuel hayden monologue

also an olivia encounter if im not mistaken

[plain iron]

Also yeah that chubker maykr seems to be a bailiff

Which matches

Could be punishment for accepting the gift from Samur

Sitting here hoping we see samur's banishment

[grave cave]

saved my first $200 for the collectors edition

200 more to go

[clever heath]

is the collectors edition not 200?

[hard thistle]

Dark lord cameo is a must

I dont care if hes a voice or anything

I hope they somehow flesh out his cgaracter more in tda despite it being a prequel

Like have him behind the scenes or some shit

[crimson shuttle]

Is there going to be a physical edition beside the 200$ collectors one?

[proud heart]

yeah

[plain iron]

Oh definitely, if we get more maykr lore (that's a big if) we'd get more davoth lore

Given they are heavily related

[grave cave]

here in aus its 400

😦

[plain iron]

Holy shit who are you going through 😭 ebgames's version is $339.95

[grave cave]

yea

are there links for the 200?

[plain iron]

Nah, that's from the bethesda store, they don't ship to Australia

[grave cave]

ffuck

[plain iron]

Ik it's fucking balls

[proud heart]

i love that basically every doom has a really different change of pace, like doom 2016 is more of a run and shoot, eternal is more of a movement game and the dark ages is a stand and shoot (dark ages is more like the old games basically)

[grave cave]

yea, its like fresh air 😄

[plain iron]

They're exploring and it's good

[raven pilot]

They showed the collector's edition¿

[proud heart]

yeah

[plain iron]

Game devs shouldn't be afraid of exploring

[raven pilot]

Also I need this question answered
Will the game NEED ray tracing?

[raven pilot]

When D:

[plain iron]

https://gear.bethesda.net/products/doom-the-dark-ages-collectors-bundle

This is the collectors edition

Thanks vega for not sniping me

[grave cave]

worth 400!!

[proud heart]

i love that they completely scraped multiplayer so they can focus completely on the campaign

[plain iron]

NO

[raven pilot]

fuck it's cool

[plain iron]

I HATE THAT

[proud heart]

just when the xbox direct thingy happened

[proud heart]

i would buy it but im not in a place where they ship it

[raven pilot]

Can't access the site what

[plain iron]

I wanted to fuck around w my mates in mp

[proud heart]

im getting the game free by gamepass and i get to play it on pc tho im still buying the premium upgrade

[plain iron]

You might need to join the slayer's club

My mate had to

[raven pilot]

I already have, but my phone just says "connection denied"

[plain iron]

Oh lmao 😭

[raven pilot]

I'll try in a moment

[plain iron]

She might be down from traffic

[raven pilot]

on my pc, going directly from the Bethesda site

[proud heart]

yeah but tho multiplayer was the least played thing in any doom its like saying ¨no no i buyed doom eternal for the multiplayer¨ so its good that they focused more on multiplayer

[plain iron]

They're might be some local retailers that sell it

It's the same down here

[proud heart]

believe me they are going to sell it like for 500$ usd where i live

[plain iron]

I have to go thru ebgames for it, and the majority of the price is from shipping

[raven pilot]

Oh right I remembered one of the things I didn't fully LOVE outright
Why security cards? We're supposed to be mostly playing in different worlds right? Couldn't they think about some cool other kind of access keys? In 2016 we had neat skulls that referenced the ones in classic Doom, and these new ones just look like 2016's key cards but
With runes

[plain iron]

That and it does have a 12 inch statue of the slayer

[grave cave]

YES

with the flail and the SS and the cape!!!

[proud heart]

bruh i live in south america and everything i buy from america is double the price

[plain iron]

Well. Theyre humans/human adjacent, so I assume that it's their version of a demonic research project thing, like the UAC

I hope Samur is there

[proud heart]

id software i fucking love you, they made a version for pc players that want to get the collectors edition

[plain iron]

Makes sense for him

[raven pilot]

Yeah but in my opinion that doesn't mean that keycards would be so similar to each other. I'm not gonna NOT get the game because of this detail, but you know, just pointing things out

[proud heart]

like theres a version where they give you everything and the premium code for the game

[plain iron]

AND THE CAPE IS ACTUALLY FAUX FUR!! NOT SCULPTED BULLSHIT

[raven pilot]

Lessgoo

[proud heart]

its peak ong

[grave cave]

YESSS

[raven pilot]

LESSGO
IMMA SPEND MONEY IRRESPONSIBLY

[grave cave]

the money is temp

[proud heart]

WAIT THAT SHI IS ACTUALLY FUR???????

[grave cave]

but the statue is eternal

[plain iron]

HOPING AND PRAYING THEY AINT GONNA FUCK UO THE NECK AGAIN

[solemn flower]

Yeah I’m buying this

[proud heart]

this prolly going to be the best collectors edition of the saga just bcs of the statue

[plain iron]
