the-dark-ages

[frail bloom]

He has that john romero hair

[autumn dawn]

i must be the unluckiest guy ever because it usually takes 4 for me

mancubi have 600 health

the archie has 700, and the baron has 1000

[prime sentinel]

yeah you're right lol

it should take you 3-4 to get a manc most of the time

it usually takes me 3

but I also have really good luck with killing chaingunners in one shotgun shot

[autumn dawn]

oh yeah me too

[prime sentinel]

and I feel like me and archies are friends because I am really lucky with the arch-vile pain chance

[autumn dawn]

i sometimes find myself oneshotting chaingunners with the regular shottie

[prime sentinel]

I like gambling by standing in their face with an SSG

[grizzled umbra]

really hope there isn't a marauder type enemy in TDA

[prime sentinel]

I feel like it happens to me A LOT

[autumn dawn]

you have cover ready most of the time?

[grizzled umbra]

You're hacking dude

[prime sentinel]

there's going to be a marauder type enemy that challenges the player, but they hope the player is trained better on how to fight them

[autumn dawn]

it's usually RNG giving you high damage rolls

[prime sentinel]

its not going to be exactly like the marauder, but it will be a "black belt" challenge

[prime sentinel]

when I'm arch-vile gambling, no

[autumn dawn]

i wanna see night sentinels transform into marauders

[grizzled umbra]

I hope it is a more consistent one, marauder I swear just does whatever he wants randomly

[autumn dawn]

that's bold

[prime sentinel]

wouldn't be gambling if there was no risk

[autumn dawn]

eh fair enough

[frail bloom]

Ye especially buffed marauder in bloodswamps, he's on something

[grizzled umbra]

He might just run at you and stand there for 4 seconds, maybe spawn a dog for no reason

[autumn dawn]

the swamp shrooms

[frail bloom]

On that argent goos

[prime sentinel]

I forget what they're called, but the big demon with the sword is the marauder equivilant

it'll require you to parry from what we know

[grizzled umbra]

da doom huntah

[frail bloom]

Agaddon hunter🤓

[prime sentinel]

thank you

[autumn dawn]

nah that's an Agaddon Hunter

[prime sentinel]

its the marauder equivilant

[grizzled umbra]

that's what a doom hunter is

[autumn dawn]

yep

[prime sentinel]

we got a whole article about it

[autumn dawn]

ask Deag Ranak on more lore about them

[prime sentinel]

its not literally a marauder, but it serves the same purpose of a monster meant to test what the player has learned

[grizzled umbra]

what does the marauder test?

[frail bloom]

No he'll yap about the telos realm again

[autumn dawn]

i think it's a miniboss, based on what we've seen in the trailer

[prime sentinel]

I am not arguing with you about this, I am simply explaining the article

[prime sentinel]

dude, I'm explaining the article, this is literally what Hugo said

[autumn dawn]

oh

[prime sentinel]

he directly compared the Agaddon hunter to the marauder

[autumn dawn]

i've finished the trailer, but i don't remember that so carry on

[grizzled umbra]

Not trying to argue, I just never knew what the marauder was supposed to test

[prime sentinel]

its an article

[autumn dawn]

if you were ready enough

for the ancient trials

that sucks

[frail bloom]

Stuff like the faltering system, reaction time, enemy management

Off the top of my head

[autumn dawn]

more parrying

[prime sentinel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/849538360744607757/1352814347562389535/image.png?ex=67df620a&is=67de108a&hm=3fdb7dfa9ba1ceaf33f0ba05d1e6fa63b0db1f84c69915b168637ab64d9f61cb&

[grizzled umbra]

Yeah that makes sense, I run off muscle memory when I see him I just didn't think about that lol

[autumn dawn]

first we're gonna encounter the Agaddon Hunter as a boss, like the Doom Hunter amd marauder, and later in the game we'll encounter him regularly

[prime sentinel]

I think the problem with the marauder is that his mechanics aren't really taught to the player, you're thrown into the deep end, in TDA more monsters will ask you to do things similar to what you will have to do to beat the agaddon hunter and he will be the test of that

[grizzled umbra]

marauder is just red light green light

[prime sentinel]

yeah, and no other monster functions at all like that, in TDA countering is a mechanic that will appear throughout the game

[autumn dawn]

i'm not really entertaining the idea of the hunter telling you "CMOM SHOOT ME WHEN IM GREEN"

[frail bloom]

Hey at the time it released, he shocked the world

Part of it lol

[prime sentinel]

it'll be that you have to parry them to open them up, more than likely

[autumn dawn]

Gladiator?

[prime sentinel]

no you counter them with your shield

you parry their sword attacks

[grizzled umbra]

I cried when I saw the big flash at first

[frail bloom]

You don't know pain till the kaiser campaign

That rhymed

[autumn dawn]

GREEN SPARKLE

[frail bloom]

Did you know that kaiser works at id now btw?

[prime sentinel]

marauder appears before the gladiator

[grizzled umbra]

I played till Taras Nabad but it crashed due to me not having TAG 1 or 2 before

[autumn dawn]

who's kaiser

[prime sentinel]

the gladiator doesn't teach you how to fight the marauder

thought Kaiser worked at nightdive

[autumn dawn]

you gotta kinda figure that out on your own

[prime sentinel]

yeah, you shouldn't have to

[frail bloom]

He's a talented modder who made the kaiser campaign for doom eternal, he coded some enemy ai in the dark ages

[prime sentinel]

the game should teach you how to fight the marauder way earlier with different enemies

[autumn dawn]

"WHY IS HE PULLING DOGS OUT OF HIS ASS"

[prime sentinel]

that's a big reason why he was so hated early on

[grizzled umbra]

Gladiator was a bad boss

[frail bloom]

Different kaiser

[prime sentinel]

oh, lmao

[autumn dawn]

hah 𝓷𝓸

[prime sentinel]

sorry I was thinking of "guy who made Doom 64 EX and like half the maps in Legacy of Rust"

[frail bloom]

Yeah it's really coincidental

[frail bloom]

Very talented musician too

[autumn dawn]

gladiator wasn't a bad boss, he was just difficult (i dunno how difficult tho, never fought him)

[prime sentinel]

can't think of his music, what did he work on?

the music for Legacy of Rust was Xaser

[grizzled umbra]

My happiness being drained when I see his maces rotate towards me

[frail bloom]

Oh Im such an idiot

Their names are so similar

My bad

[grizzled umbra]

The idea of the boss is pretty easy

[prime sentinel]

Xaser was the lead on LoR, Kaiser did a bunch of maps for it though

[frail bloom]

Yeah that's it

[prime sentinel]

Xaser made E1M2 which is one of the best official doom maps imo, it rules so hard

[autumn dawn]

yeah, the second phase was considered pretty hard by many players

[prime sentinel]

Kaiser also did all the maps for Doom 64 The Lost Levels

[autumn dawn]

Doom 1's E1M2, or LoR?

[frail bloom]

Shores of heaven slaps

But my favorite is the skeleton world

Sounds like a modern doom boss theme put into midi

[prime sentinel]

also E2M4 started as a Doom 64 map apparently

[prime sentinel]

LoR

E1M2 is not even the best in E1

[grizzled umbra]

Sometimes he won't stagger and missing a green light will cause him to do a combo that is life ruining lol

[prime sentinel]

in Doom 1

LoR E1M2 is one of the best official Doom maps ever is what I was saying

the huge blood dam is so cool, the music is instantly iconic

the pipe puzzle

super memorable map

[frail bloom]

Ye Idk how he makes those groovy tunes

[autumn dawn]

well the biggest reason why i like the boss is because of the ost

[frail bloom]

Blood magic and midi

[prime sentinel]

Xaser did a piece for BTSX E3 that's super awesome

its in his map in the demo that released a while back

[frail bloom]

There's a third one?

[prime sentinel]

we're working on it

[frail bloom]

Oh demo

Can't wait👍

[prime sentinel]

well, I doubt I'll ever have a map ready for it, but I'm on the team technically lol

[frail bloom]

What's the hub area look like

[prime sentinel]

can't divulge deets here

[frail bloom]

Like the one that's usually empty and stuff

[frail bloom]

Oh k

[prime sentinel]

anywho I gotta go to work

have a good night everybody

[frail bloom]

Ye goodnight

[plain iron]

Speaking of hubs, do we know if there's gonna be a hub in TDA?

[autumn dawn]

it's night at your countries?

[frail bloom]

No it's the linear structure of 2016

[plain iron]

ew.

[frail bloom]

But expanded in individual levels

[plain iron]

With how big the world is, I hoped for a hub area

[frail bloom]

I'm fine with it, you progress normally

[autumn dawn]

oh yeah it's 9PM in america

[plain iron]

Yes but imagine how damn tiring it would be for a game that big

And, if we have collectables where tf are they gonna go

[grizzled umbra]

I mean Eternal is pretty linear too, and it has a hub

[frail bloom]

How, having a hub area just adds more time, it's just like 2016

[autumn dawn]

i'm a big fan of games putting small hub levels in between missions

[frail bloom]

Probably in some viewer in the menu

[plain iron]

ew.

[frail bloom]

Just speculating

[frail bloom]

😭

[grizzled umbra]

bruh

[plain iron]

While i don't like eternal, I do really like the hub

[grizzled umbra]

you don't like eternal?

[autumn dawn]

sad smile

[plain iron]

Yes I don't like most of the nudoom games

[autumn dawn]

🥲

[plain iron]

I only like doom 3 💀

[grizzled umbra]

why do you care then

[plain iron]

Because I like the series + lore

[frail bloom]

Brutha da lore

[frail bloom]

Hopefully dark ages is more your speed

[grizzled umbra]

what does a hub have to do with lore

[grizzled umbra]

It has more classic movement according to hugo

[frail bloom]

Cuz having your favorite game like 22 yrs ago is a long timr

[grizzled umbra]

with strafing and such

[frail bloom]

No dude like preference

[autumn dawn]

sets all sliders to minimum

[plain iron]

I prefer slower games, and a hub between them slows it down

[frail bloom]

I coulda worded that better

Cup of tea i guess

[plain iron]

I like slow games because I got a processing disorder 💀

[autumn dawn]

would you like glory kills?

[plain iron]

Autism moment ™️

[grizzled umbra]

doom 3 doesn't have a hub

[autumn dawn]

oh.

[plain iron]

Yes but it's slower compared to 2016 and eternal

[autumn dawn]

yeah but, being a horror game, it has a significantly slower pace

[grizzled umbra]

guess the sliders will be a huge accessibility update

[plain iron]

It's not like I haven't played the other games, I have over 800 hours in eternal, but that's mainly from me redoing a lot of levels and reading

It's why I like eternal's hub, I can just read the codex and not worry about when I exit out, getting murdered by le demons

[autumn dawn]

but i hope minimum sliders won't turn the game into baby's first bullet hell game with blood

or else it'll make TDA really lame

[grizzled umbra]

its a slider, so I guess that's up to you

[hard thistle]

Good thing you can make it not play like that

[plain iron]

It's actually really funny because what do you mean I cried during a slayer gate because of several archviles 💀

[autumn dawn]

what do i mean?

[prime sentinel]

Just play with the sliders up and it won’t affect you?

Does how other people play affect you?

[autumn dawn]

no

it doesn't

[prime sentinel]

Alright then it’s completely fine if the sliders being down make it “baby’s first bullet hell”

[autumn dawn]

eh, ok

[plain iron]

Making doom more accessible is good

[grizzled umbra]

I play with my sensitivity slider pretty high

[prime sentinel]

Doom has never been “all about the difficulty” every doom has had difficulty settings for less skilled players

[plain iron]

Exactly, now it's just more flexible

[autumn dawn]

ITYTD

guess i cant argue with that

[prime sentinel]

Having a challenging option is good, just as good as having an easier option

[grizzled umbra]

I hope TDA difficulty affect enemy placement like classic doom

[prime sentinel]

I don’t think it will

[plain iron]

Same tbh

[autumn dawn]

i like that idea

[prime sentinel]

It will probably be like modern doom

[plain iron]

Fuck you 5 chaingunners or the TDA equivalent

[prime sentinel]

Where ai behavior and damage is affected

[grizzled umbra]

Also Nightmare, Ultraviolence and stuff is still a thing. The sliders simply for fine tuning for folks who need it

[prime sentinel]

Yes, also we know the difficulties affect the sliders, they’re basically presets

Hugo mentioned it in the “doom the woke ages” clip

[autumn dawn]

Classic doom be like

HMP: 5 chaingunners
UV: 18 chaingunners

[grizzled umbra]

It would be great, and there's no need to make master levels

[prime sentinel]

Yeah but it’s a lot more development time for a modern game

Not to mention mech sections and dragon sections needing to be hanged

The reason this sort of thing was for master levels is that enemy placement in modern games is way more complex with how monsters move around and shit

[autumn dawn]

only the ground enemies need the difficulty number treatment

[prime sentinel]

Because ai is so complex areas need to be changed so that the ai can properly move around it

It isn’t like classic doom where you just slap down a Mancubus and as long as there’s enough room it will be gucci

[autumn dawn]

maybe the enemies won't be clumped up in one spot so they won't stampede each other and accidentslly infight

also, would infighting do anythiny like classic doom and 2016?

[prime sentinel]

This would also mean way more playtesting which is more time

[grizzled umbra]

I have no experience with newer idTech tech stack, just idtech 4 and it's editor DoomEDIT (not counting GZ). Would it really be that difficult?

[prime sentinel]

The enemy pathing system is pretty complex

[grizzled umbra]

Isn't a lot of the features for idtech supposed to be reused, like it's navmesh (does it still use AAS?) any enemy should be able to use it.

[prime sentinel]

Open the editor and check it out

[plain iron]

Make the demons infight but make em refuse to infight certain demons [archviles]

I hope we see the summoners again tho

[prime sentinel]

Yeah but monsters moving between platforms for example is manually placed and certain animations are chosen

It’s actually super cool

[grizzled umbra]

Like intro animations or they literally pick out specific animations for specific clip edges

I thought they made that dynamic in Doom 2016, unless I remember incorrectly

[prime sentinel]

Just got to work

[prime sentinel]

You can pick certain animations

The auto ones aren’t always great

Anyway I gotta get off for now, I just think different enemy placement would probably be more effort than it’s worth for every difficulty and level

[autumn dawn]

where do you work

[grizzled umbra]

Cya, have a good day

[cobalt fog]

I’ve got a 14 hour drive

Traveling to Florida atm

And my solution to my boredom is going to infernal chasm, hitting video settings and clicking loop video

This will not stop until I get there

[frail bloom]

Gotta keep that window open

Wind for a complement to the ear blasting experience

[autumn dawn]

i look naive af

oh nvm i searched it up

i'll listen to it later

[cobalt fog]

Update

It’s

STILL

[sweet nexus]

[cobalt fog]

PLAYING

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-the-dark-ages-doom-slayer-dragon-flying-gif-15004662688642397896

I’ve been jamming for four hours based on the gps

Will update in another 4

[exotic stream]

they better add big head cheat code to the game

[vapid lodge]

I might shed a tear on the first playthrough

I dont think ill be able to play it man, I was so amazed on my first Eternal playthrough

Ill probably stare a minute at the main menu, God this game is the gift that keeps giving

[autumn dawn]

we should be able to play doom eternal in TDA

through a cheat code

[plucky plinth]

that'd increase the game's file size by 90 GB for no real reason

the reason they could get away with UDoom and Doom 2 in Eternal was because the WADs and even whatever code to actually run them are at most 30 MB

well, actually could be more depending if you lump in whatever it took to get the game showing up on that monitor

so let's just say (to be safe), around 60-80 MB

[grim cloud]

TBH, it would be cool to play the other doom games MP modes through it, it would bring back people. optional install obviously

[autumn dawn]

well if that's the case then maybe we could just play a pixelated doom eternal, or maybe even doom 2 but with an eternal mod

so they can simultaneously give support to modmakers by making their wads officially used in a licensed doom game

[plucky plinth]

only issue is that they'd need to open source the entirety of the game due to licensing

well, they could also just make a custom easter egg without using modded Doom 2

[autumn dawn]

what easter eggs are you looking forward to in TDA

for me, i wanna see the hanging dead barons again

and a dead spiderdemon

[grim cloud]

id rather have a alive spider demon to kill

[autumn dawn]

about the fire physics ingame...

i really like the mancubus flamethrower graphics

eternal's fire looked like lava (which i liked too) but TDA improved it

[sick hound]

Need game

[summer obsidian]

Most real thing ever said in this chat

[pallid hound]

it’s inside

[wooden acorn]

Can’t fall back asleep
Day 58 of 112

[vagrant path]

Damn you're really counting the days huh?

[wooden acorn]

Ye

[slim nexus]

The reason why I show up here so I can remember the days @wooden acorn

[wooden acorn]

[copper torrent]

The more you wait, the longer the wait

[exotic stream]

It should have a 2 minute 4 part cheat code with 2 controllers like a damn ddr game

[neon perch]

Stupid ass stretched out wolf.

[wooden acorn]

True

[neon perch]

Fucking STUPID.

[mighty glen]

Excuse me if I get a bit political, but I think anti-wokes are the stupidest people in the world.

Literally in the old Doom we can already select the difficulty to our liking, I don't understand why they start crying because you can configure the difficulty to your liking

[wheat sigil]

that's not even anti-woke, that's called ragebait ;)

[mighty glen]

Even so, I'm fed up with the existence of "anti-woke" people. I hope the developers add a skin that is a trans or LGBTQA+ flag to keep that kind of people away.

[slender night]

Wouldn't that just draw them in to critique the game harder? I'm all for what you mentioned but it'll have an opposite effect

[mighty glen]

And again I apologize if I have become too political.

but I hate anti-woke people

[mighty glen]

Well you're right

[wheat sigil]

eh, make a skin like that instead, because those look cool

i use a trans pride slayer skin, because it looks nice xd

[plain iron]

Well if it's any consolidation, one of the ex-big dudes from id software, John Romero, is very openly supportive of transfolk

[dark peak]

new imp looks great

love the new artstyle

[tropic raft]

The imps are jacked 💀

Massive improvment

From 2016 and Eternal imo.

[mighty glen]

Trve

[dark peak]

totally

[tropic raft]

You know I have feeling that this game will be goty. Am I reaching?

[sleek ermine]

Unless the highly anticipated GTA VI releases before the goty awards

[tropic raft]

I honestly don't think Gta 6 will be that great. But we will see won't we.

[sleek ermine]

Overhype you think? Just might also become the case with TDA but what do I know

[slender night]

GTA VI being anticipated will bite in the ass more than help it

People will have crazy expectations, then play through it and be left dissapointed

[sleek ermine]

:true:

[tropic raft]

That is true. Im just saying tho...

[delicate grotto]

Even if GTA 6 sucks it’ll still win GOTY lol

Unfortunately

[ebon shale]

genuinely no. 90% of GTA fans are pretty much "casuals". They maybe buy COD every year and then FIFA or madden or NBA 2k if they are feeling fancy. The only way they can screw this up is with a cyberpunk launch. Best recent phenomenon to compare it to: The new carti album. Album is... meh I guess, at least looking at critic scores and definitely not worth the wait, but the fans don't listen to anything else and will praise it because they hear nothing else to compare it to.

[slender night]

Don't you remember when they were like "this game looks so bad" at an ALPHA build? These people are gonna be critical of the game

[ebon shale]

no lmao those are the very vocal grifters that shit on everything

[slender night]

Right, a huge chunk of the fanbase. The negativity will pierce through the positivity, this shit always happens, negative reviews stand out more than positive ones

Also the fans isn't really relevant, people care about critic reviews more than anything

[ebon shale]

well internet culture is based on outrage, sadly. Regardless I can't see GTA 6 not being like the best selling media product of all time. If it gets the critical acclaim is another question, but I don't think the expectations are that high since we still havent seen a whole lot of it

[slender night]

Oh it will sell crazy, but only within the first year, if it's not gonna be good it won't have the staying power the others have

[ebon shale]

depends on the online features I think

[unborn tiger]

my ages have been getting darker lately, DOOM™️ed even

[patent robin]

when do preorders end?

[cyan lotus]

When the game comes out

[gentle cobalt]

still ain’t beating Minecraft (seriously why is the game so popular still)

[obsidian shard]

cause its Minecraft

[ebon shale]

Minecraft is timeless. The graphics cant age and it has limitless replayability

[final dune]

yeah i dont think the game is gonna be that good

[final dune]

maybe theyll release a trailer for doom the dark ages when the review embargo for all those people that were playing it recently lifts

[fleet spruce]

lost interest in gta long ago so i feel absolutely nothing regarding gta 6

[charred wolf]

I can't wait to play this, I haven't felt this antsy since Doom 2 came out >>

[plain iron]

Same, it feels like waiting for Christmas when you were a child 😭

[vagrant path]

I hate both sides of the coin.

on one hand you have the grifter anti-woke mob that banks on losers and nutjobs, on the other, the idiots that resort to violence the moment they face even the most minor of opposition, left and right wing politics are one in the same.

both clueless mobs that hate eachother more than the big men (and barely any women) in the one percent at the top.

[vagrant path]

damn I got way politically charged with this one

[plain iron]

Yeah anyways 💀

I'm convinced Serrat is gonna die lowkey

Like there's no indication

But it wouldn't be too weird for id software to kill off a animal for the shits and giggles

[summer summit]

Yeah, it's sad that internet culture has ruined so many movies, shows, and even games.

[plain iron]

That's how culture works, it changes opinions

Society will change, so will public opinion

[summer summit]

Just wait until GTA 6 comes out and becomes a huge success, and they'll act like it's the second coming of Jesus Christ.

[simple mist]

We have demons to slay

I dont really care about GTA

[plain iron]

They already are acting like it, and when it releases it probably won't live up to the hype tbh

I don't like first person games like that in general

[cobalt raven]

i'm excited for both GTA6 and Doom TDA 😌

[plain iron]

I don't even particularly like nudoom [avid doom 3 lover]

Deadass only here for lore and characters

[cobalt raven]

Doom 3 is a banger. I love the vibes but i'm just very particular with space horror.

[slender night]

Isn't GTA TPS

[plain iron]

The two most abysmally written things in nudoom

[slender night]

Or TPP, however that works

[vagrant path]

HEY, you're right😭

[plain iron]

Fuck probably, I played it for maybe a hour at most and went ew lmao

[simple mist]

Real

Mid theft auto

[slender night]

I played a rip-off where you're a stickman spider

[vagrant path]

last good one was gta 4

[plain iron]

The autism works in strange ways. And for some reason it consistently makes me like abysmal lore, robots and military people 💀

[simple mist]

I can't wait for metroid prime 4 and doom TDA

[slender night]

Can't wait for Half-Life 3!

[simple mist]

Lore? My brain doesnt remember jack about a games lore,despite me playing it a bunch.

Had this happen to me with KH2 (amazing game)

[plain iron]

Nudoom lore is kinda weird and shittily written, but hey it has my favourite concept, the divine machine, so it's immediately a 10/10 in my eyes

[vagrant path]

I've started not really caring too much about doom lore, I kinda see it how I see movies like the alien franchise.
Never truly concrete and set down (despite what arrogant directors will always harp on about), and prone to retcons.

[slender night]

Bias

[simple mist]

Watch doom TDA come out,and bad game journalist reviews come out for it. (Its not doom eternal so its bad/J)

[plain iron]

I'm exclusively tismed about maykr lore and biology, it's really funny tbh

[slender night]

I don't care about DOOM lore because it's completely warped Doomguy around from a victim to a gladiator, feels like a sharp U-turn to make on a character and that just kind of killed the idea that the lore can be coherent to me

[simple mist]

Yeah that was....odd

[plain iron]

Yknow that's probably gonna happen 💀

[simple mist]

Underthemayo ahh reviews lol

[ebon shale]

Honestly I have a feeling Journalists will like tda more than eternal

[simple mist]

Nahh

They're gonna get stuck on the title screen

[plain iron]

Sometimes folk aren't too good at realising that id software likes to not do the same game over and over Activision

[slender night]

Game journalist jokes? In the big 25?

[simple mist]

Yea

[slender night]

I don't think it's impossible to expect a sequel game to be similiar to the first, but for id that's like almost never gonna happen

Quake trilogy is connected by the name only

[ebon shale]

Well at least not with hugo at the helm

[simple mist]

I like how they are taking a risk with sequels

They arent afraid to experiment with the gameplay,whilst keeping the core intact.

[slender night]

Not really

Compare Quake and Quake II, Quake II and Quake III, each title is completely different down to its core, aside from them all being shooters

[plain iron]

CoD moment. it all feels the same now and it's ass

[slender night]

Activision used to be cool...

[simple mist]

Was talking about the Nu doom stuff.

[simple mist]

Skylanders was my jam back in the days.

Still have all of em

[slender night]

DOOM 3 was cool, now they publish Call of Duty, such a drop in quality

[plain iron]

It's balls.

[simple mist]

Real

Doom TDA ost is definitely really good.

I just hope it comes out on spotify or whatever

[plain iron]

Ain't they the ones who posted ai slop on one of their stores saying "oh its a new game" or smthn or am I batshit

[slender night]

I want some sort of release of the DOOM 3 ost

[simple mist]

[plain iron]

Hrrr I'm really excited for it, I do like finishing move, I'd prefer if Andrew Hulshult was somewhere but it okay

[slender night]

Yeah, one being for a new Hexen, which shook the community. Surprised nobody else mentioned it here though with how closely related Heretic/Hexen and DOOM are

They also do AI for CoD loading screens and promo art

[plain iron]

ew.

[simple mist]

Ye. Finishing move cooked

[simple mist]

Ai art? More like slop

[slender night]

I was hoping they'd get Chris Vrenna to do some tracks

[simple mist]

Would rather eat the nasty patty

[plain iron]

God I hate ai.

I'd rather speak to my father again than see it in a game

[slender night]

AI should've been limited to just text conversations

[plain iron]

In non-commercial sites

[slender night]

ChatGPT can be useful sometimes, though most of the time it is VERY stupid

[simple mist]

I feel like I'd be more ok with it if its used as an assistant for stuff like medical use

[slender night]

Bad idea

Not with the state AI is in right now anyway

[simple mist]

Was about to say

[plain iron]

I'd prefer if it was doing something mundane

Identifying ocean floor samples.

[slender night]

Instructions:
#1 - Feed the patient plastic
#3 - Amputate

[simple mist]

Ai could have good,but as of now,its not good lol.

[slender night]

ChatGPT is very easy to gaslight it's quite funny

[simple mist]

Chat gpt if it was a doctor

[slender night]

Character ai is crazy though I gotta be honest that service sucks

[plain iron]

It's funny as shit tho

It's for role-play 💀

[slender night]

Some people take it too far, I mean like, getting actually attached

[plain iron]

Yeah I've seen it happen to my friend and its kinda sad

Tbf they get severly attached to characters anyways

To the degree where they get upset if they see ship art of the character with anyone but themselves

They worry me.

[slender night]

I was about to say self-shipping isn't as bad as being attached to a fake person, but I failed to consider the possibility of self-shipping going too far, which I've personally never seen happen but it is a possibility

[simple mist]

I am cooked

[slender night]

Howdy cooked

[plain iron]

I don't personally selfship, idc if others do, i just get worried when they start treating a shapes bot as a real person

[slender night]

I don't ship entirely, I feel like I should leave that stuff up to the writers, some people ship characters that would just gut eachother if given the chance, crazy

[plain iron]

Guilty as charged.

[slender night]

Oh yeah this is the dark ages channel

[plain iron]

No but but but Samur n doomguy were diplomatically married they hated it I swear

[plain iron]

Shit ur right

Uh fucking um

The slayer statue has given doomguy a bit of fat on his sides [I think] and I'm happy about that

[slender night]

The statue from 2016 gave him a very ugly DOOM logo

#general message

How do you even manage to do this

[plain iron]

oh

Are the letters usually like that???

Man I've been playing too much warframe

[slender night]

No, the two Os are fucked up

[plain iron]

YEAH

That's what I thought, they're too long?

[slender night]

The spike part is usually down the middle of the letters, not to the sides

[plain iron]

fuck.

[tropic raft]

Hmm I think it just the armor.

[plain iron]

It's chainmail, chainmail acts like fabric.

It makes more sense for him to be a tad chunky tbh

Insulation :3

[safe ice]

wait they shipped the collectors edition?

[plain iron]

Nawh not yet, some folk have it somehow and it's weird

[safe ice]

oh

[plain iron]

But yeah, chainmail acts like fabric, it's for slashes, not stabs, it's actually a reasonable armour lowkey

The biceps urk me a little

But it's not doomguy without his guns

[simple mist]

Its peam

[tropic raft]

I think its just his muscle tbh. Feel free to correct me wrong.

[plain iron]

What muscle 😭 his inguinal ligament and connected tissue maybe but it's not that smooth nor is it that high

[safe ice]

if you jab with a sword it'll likely be easy to see it coming anyway

[plain iron]

Yeah, jabbing with a sword is lowkey useless, smaller knives and daggers maybe, but those areas aren't vital

[tropic raft]

Biceps the best part. Makes him look badass imo.

[safe ice]

and even then, chainmail still offered some protection from jabs. albeit very small, but it could probably save your life

[plain iron]

Swords are usually more damaging from blunt force trauma, hence why they (and as we can see, doomguy too) would wear leather padding underneath

[mental grotto]

Doom fans so bored waiting for the dark ages mfs in the discord arguing about doom guys bf% im crying

“Does doomguy have love handles” this debate will surely spark endless controversy

[plain iron]

Yes he does, he deserves them at least.

MAKE THAT MAN CHUNKY IM TIRED OF SEEING SHRINKWRAPPED MEN

[wooden acorn]

Day 59 of 112

[delicate grotto]

Man the recent concept art of TDA’s demons look incredible. Excited to see what that green beast looking thing is.

The Cyberdemon looks sick as Hell too

[hollow sandal]

Yea! The green beast demon

NecroLich

I saw someone in the comments dub it that

[autumn saffron]

I wonder why nobody's talking about the skins for the guns nor the slayer

BTW what do we call the slayer now

It was doom guy now doom slayers but now what

The Doom conqueror?

Or the ancient Slayer

[plucky plinth]

Probably still the same tbh

Unless they’re doing a third name change

[autumn saffron]

They should

[plucky plinth]

Eh, not really

No real reason to

[autumn saffron]

But think tho

If they are making him EVEN cooler they should kind of change the name but keep the doom part

[plucky plinth]

To be honest I’ve never been a fan of the Slayer thing

Found it somewhat generic

Well, to be fair technically Doom Guy is generic

[autumn saffron]

Ye

[plucky plinth]

Yeah, I entered the series through the original games

So I’ve somewhat preferred that they were more of a survivor story instead of a chosen one story

Though, sorry for being kinda harsh on ya earlier. Just seen too many people come here and start randomly pinging people for zero reason.

[fleet spruce]

while I also started with classic games, i honestly love direction series is going , sure it's over the top and ridiculous sometimes but it's cool imo

my 3 cents

[slender night]

I think it's cool but also jarring

[slender onyx]

i sometimes can't help but think "doom slayer" is kinda corny

like it's not really a big thing but his other nicknames are honestly cooler
The Hellwalker, The Unchained Predator, etc.

[slender night]

I feel like those are a bit corny too

Doomguy is fine

[slender onyx]

the doom dude

[tiny nexus]

Here’s a good one I created, Thou who makes hell shit themselves to oblivion

[slender night]

Crazy how this name is accurate, they completely flipped the script on Doomguy

[tiny nexus]

Yeah, can’t wait for doom the slow ages to come out

[slender onyx]

well it sure is accurate

[rough heart]

Demons gave him that name for reasom

[vagrant path]

I kinda like the evolution from survivor to legendary demon slayer, reminds me of that one evil dead sequel, the one where the guy goes back in time and fights the monsters.

[rough heart]

And those who taste the byte of his sword will named him the doom slayer"

[hard thistle]

the slayer of doom

[rough heart]

Better

[hard thistle]

how can doom be slayed

demon slayer would be more fitting

[sleek ermine]

what is that pfp

[rough heart]

Just something is something doesnt mean it cant be beyond

[rough heart]

Trump

[sleek ermine]

istg if you support him I will

[rough heart]

Well yes for a reason ofc

Why

[sleek ermine]

[rough heart]

Ahh well

Do each his own

Ooh wait i didnt read your comment well

[frail bloom]

Guys, can you believe that someone said the imp stalker looks like ai art

[grizzled thicket]

damn

[rough heart]

I never seen it

[frail bloom]

I'm pretty sure it's rage bait but if it's not...

[rough heart]

Ohh wait

[slender onyx]

the doom slayer would be a cooler name if like one of davoth's nicknames was "DOOM"
like mf would be literally called "the guy that will kill satan-god"

[rough heart]

Well idk

[grizzled thicket]

yeeaaah

[rough heart]

Could be

Just wait when it releases

[frail bloom]

What?

[rough heart]

Game

[frail bloom]

What about it

[rough heart]

Will see how raga baiters will respond

[frail bloom]

I'm gonna try to ignore them

[rough heart]

Hahah

[frail bloom]

Any criticism that doesn't explain itself is just rage bait

[slender night]

Bruce Campbell is great

[rough heart]

Well yea

[grizzled thicket]

I will just roast the rage baiters

[rough heart]

🔥

[slender night]

I don't mind the evolution like on an opinionated level, but I do find it a sharp U-turn, you're twisting an entire character's purpose around

[frail bloom]

I mean doomguy does deserve to be all powerful

[rough heart]

I dont think ive heard about that

[rough heart]

Well hes one way or another

Should let him rest

[slender night]

Not sure what you mean by deserve

[rough heart]

Because he defeated all by himself

[grizzled thicket]

I wonder what will id do after TDA, like how will they keep doom alive

[frail bloom]

I mean he's been in hell for thousands of years since doom 64 so I think him being a demi god is more interesting than rinse and repeat

[rough heart]

Ig

Exact

[frail bloom]

But there is a special quality to lone survivor

[rough heart]

Budd needs moral boost

[slender night]

I never said the change is bad or not in place, I just said it's an extreme change

[frail bloom]

Sure

[rough heart]

Well yea

[slender night]

A character whose sole experience was survivor suddenly becomes sort of a killing machine, that is a drastic change

[frail bloom]

Not one I mind really

[rough heart]

Well yea because sentinels are different humans

[slender night]

?

[rough heart]

From multiverse

[slender night]

What does that have to do with the character change

[rough heart]

Possess higher intellegence

[frail bloom]

But doomguy is not a sentinel?

[rough heart]

Because they did change him sort of

[rough heart]

No

[frail bloom]

That's how it happened, not the period of time it took to happen

[slender night]

I'm just hoping TDA clears up how he came from having trauma and hallucinations to going toe-to-toe with demons on a daily basis

[frail bloom]

That's why it's unrelated but whatevs

[rough heart]

Well yea they taought him abot self control and many more

[grizzled umbra]

He had trauma?

[frail bloom]

I mean we already see a hint of conflict with him being controlled and all of that

[slender night]

It's not really easy to flip someone with trauma to tackle the object of trauma

[slender night]

Yes

[rough heart]

He didnt hallucinate

[slender night]

Maybe he's reluctant at first? I think that'd also help him feel like more of a character with a personality

[grizzled umbra]

When

[formal root]

the divinity machine me thinks

[slender night]

DOOM 64

[slender night]

He hallucinated the demons to look more twisted than they usually would in DOOM 64

[rough heart]

Aah

[grizzled umbra]

I thought doom guy was just manic ngl, he has no issue showing brutality to demons

[frail bloom]

All I hope is that the dark ages justifies eternal's story and makes it age better by focusing on the characters more instead of the world

It would make the khan mayker and valen feel much more impactful as characters

[slender night]

The story is gonna be in the game itself rather than as readables now which I think is a great change

[rough heart]

He was

Yea

[frail bloom]

Agreed, I hope they took critiscism in the story department

[formal root]

I tought the mother demon brought them back more twisted looking

[frail bloom]

And make change accordingly

[slender night]

They're slightly rotted and under radiation, sure, but that would mean they'd have muscle or bone visible. They're perfectly fine, that leads me to believe he hallucinates them to being in the form they are right now

Pretty sure the DOOM 64 manual also calls to him having hallucinations but I'm not 100% sure on that one

[formal root]

he does have ptsd

with the argentas finding him rambling about killing the demons

[slender night]

I'd also like some callbacks to DOOM 3

Maledict boss would be great, especially with how dragon-themed the game is

[rough heart]

Well its said that hell creates new ones this isnt hallucination

Then agadon hunter is hallucination?

[slender night]

When did I say he's hallucinating the demons entirely? I just said he's hallucinating them to look different

[rough heart]

Well yea

Dont think that

He defeated different kinds

This arent the same

It might be a fact

[slender night]

What do you mean by that? Are you saying the ones from DOOM 64 look different because they're a different species?

[rough heart]

New generation

[formal root]

i meaaaaan

[slender night]

They're the exact same demons as the ones from the original two games

[rough heart]

And fans also said that he defeated all that hes now fightig aliens

[frail bloom]

I mean he wore the original armor instead of the 64 armor in eternal sooooo

[rough heart]

No every invasion is same

[frail bloom]

Im not sure what they'll say about that lol

[slender night]

The 64 armor is probably just a design tweak, I don't see it as in-lore an entirely different armor

[formal root]

I mean i’m sure the demons do have different breeds

best shown with the imps and imp stalkers

[rough heart]

Yea

[slender night]

They also probably showed the classic design because at that time DOOM 64 was officially on only one platform, it doesn't have the same recognition

[slender night]

I never said they don't; I just said these ones specifically aren't a different breed

[frail bloom]

Well I mean it's a harmless theory that can work, but it depends on the story department yknow

[rough heart]

That doesnt mean he hallicianate

Actually

[frail bloom]

Whether they include it or not is up to them

[rough heart]

He might since hes under maykrs control

[frail bloom]

Anyways Imma play doom 2016 so byee

[slender night]

He wasn't under Maykr control in DOOM 64

[rough heart]

In dark

[slender night]

We're discussing 64 right now though

[rough heart]

Wait we are talking different games

Yea in doom dark channel lol

[slender night]

Yeah, seems so

[rough heart]

In doom 64 possibly while he was under constant rage

[slender night]

He was under fear

[rough heart]

And rage

How he could defeated without rage

[slender night]

You can definitely win battles while scared

[rough heart]

Well not until the end

Mayb thats why he was tired

[grizzled umbra]

So doomguy hallucinated 64 monsters

That's kinda cool

[slender night]

He hallucinated how they look, they exist in reality

[grizzled umbra]

Yeah

[rough heart]

Thats interesting and make sense

[graceful lion]

well, he beat a weakened davoth, not even a god, he did also beat the icon of sin

[scenic lichen]

theres going to be a dlc but after that, idk tbh

maybe they'll add game modes or somethin

[rough heart]

They said dark ages isnt last doom

[ebon shale]

But that doesnt mean that the next game they will work on is doom

[delicate grotto]

Love the games, but I would like to see something new/ different after TDA

[placid saffron]

tbh he also beat the icon with regular weapons (and the comatose sword)

[formal root]

the comatose sword

[placid saffron]

it's what it does to titans

[formal root]

that does make sense lore wise since it does put titans on a coma

Pretty sure the titan is also aware that its trapped in said coma

which is horrifying

[placid saffron]

not stated anywhere iirc

[ember charm]

Is there m+k support on ps5?

[formal root]

I’d like to think of it

adds to the whole “cause as much suffering to the demons” thing the slayer has

[fallow mica]

Previous games don’t

So I doubt they would

[normal vortex]

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the dark Ages hate?

[frail bloom]

The hate is just uncertainty, I understand their discern but disagree with most of it

[simple mist]

The same nonsense happened with doom eternal

[rough heart]

We well see it

[woven jolt]

I can understand it, but the problem is they don't look into it. Like I can see how some people would think the sliders would make the game easier, but they probably haven't watched the Hugo video about him talking about the sliders.

[plain iron]

The sliders are both for making the game hard and for making it accessible to folks with disabilities 😭

I never understood why folk would hate on it

[woven jolt]

I know, but I think some people originally thought they were replacing normal difficulty options with sliders, therefore making it unbalanced, etc

[plain iron]

The difficulties act as presets that you can modify, right?

[woven jolt]

Yeah, like if you change from Hurt Me Plenty to Ultra Violence, you'll see the sliders change

and you can modify from there

I'm probably just gonna play Ultra Violence for my first playthrough

[prime sentinel]

I’m not sure if I should do nightmare or UV on first playthrough

I’m down for a challenge, I started both 2016 and eternal on UV then did subsequent playthroughs on NM

I think I’ll start on NM and bump it down if it’s too difficult

[random garnet]

The bfg better be in this

[prime sentinel]

I really doubt it won’t be

It’d be like if the ssg wasn’t in it

[grizzled umbra]

I like to start on nightmare, it doesn't feel that different from ultra violence

[grizzled umbra]

Maybe a big sentinel cannon or something

[prime sentinel]

Nah we’ll get the BFG in some form

It’ll be revealed the UAC stole the tech from the sentinels or something, or it will be a piece of tech from the universe the slayer originated from that was confiscated

Since the UAC technically already existed in a different universe

[grizzled umbra]

It'd be cool if it wasn't the bfg again

We've gotten it like 6 times, too many bfgs

[prime sentinel]

You can’t do doom without the BFG.

They can make it function differently but it has to be there

It is a core part of the series’ identity

[grizzled umbra]

True

I think it'd be cool if they replaced with the unmaker somehow

[plain iron]

I wouldn't be surprised if we see the old world [the one classic doom is in] for the BFG

[grizzled umbra]

I just want the bfg to at least be different

[wheat cliff]

the BFG is like the shotgun
important to the franchise

[plain iron]

Something like how argent Dnur was in 2016

[wooden acorn]

I Hope he falls a hundred or so feet when he grabs it again

Like 2016 and eternal

[prime sentinel]

they can replace the unmaykr with a new power weapon but I really doubt we won’t get the BFG

[grizzled umbra]

It can still be the bfg, but maybe different than big ball that shoots lasers

[prime sentinel]

I mean the BFG in the modern games functions as a panic button, it serves a purpose, when you are overwhelmed it’s basically a screen wipe

[plain iron]

Brother's knees are bent worse than a pipe cleaner after that 😔

[exotic slate]

I found two rats in my kitchen cabinet eating opened bird feed

[wooden acorn]

Evil beasts

[plain iron]

He's me fr

[wooden acorn]

They will turn into birds if they keep eating it

[exotic slate]

Flying rats

[plain iron]

Oh that's really unfortunate 😭

[wooden acorn]

Even worse

[plain iron]

My bird was killed by a rat

[grizzled umbra]

Tbh I am biased, I never liked eternal or 2016's bfg it is just a thing that kills stuff for you, like you said. I guess I just want it to be weaker, or make more demons be able to withstand a weapon like thst

[exotic slate]

Why is that funny 😭

[prime sentinel]

I think the entire point is for it to be super powerful lol you just have very limited ammo

[exotic slate]

Those rats were fat and greedy too

[prime sentinel]

It’s intended as a panic button

[exotic slate]

As soon as I opened the door they were ass facing me running in the opposite direction

Or I should say walking because they were so slow and fat

[grizzled umbra]

I hope they will give us the option of disabling items in the weapon wheel, I pick the bfg by accident sometimes

[prime sentinel]

Making it weaker kinda lessens its impact as a power weapon imo anyway we don’t really know how they’ll handle it in TDA yet

[exotic slate]

How many lightbulbs does it take to screw in a Nazi

[plain iron]

I cope with my trauma by joking about i am so sorry.

[exotic slate]

It ok

[grizzled umbra]

No I get what you're saying, I just don't like it in modern doom games, it's more of a personal thing, but I do hope the bfg semi different from the last like 4 since this type of bfg started in Quake II

[plain iron]

I wanna see the classic bfg.

[crisp crown]

DOOM: The Woke Ages

[plain iron]

Shut up no one asked

[crisp crown]

yeah its the title of the upcoming woke doom

[plain iron]

Anyone who genuinely uses that term is fucking brain-dead.

[grizzled umbra]

k

[grizzled umbra]

Those freaking sliders grr

[crisp crown]

yah

[rough heart]

Well tehnically doomguy is other part of dark lord which means its other half of his strength which yea dark lord is weakend

[plain iron]

There's no percentage we know of

[rough heart]

We this my theory

Well

[grizzled umbra]

That's what I told sleepy Joe, ok I told him the doomguy.. was only half, he walked off

[rough heart]

I mean this tehnically is true

[rough heart]

Well father did some nasty work

[crisp crown]

DOOM: The Fatty Ages

[plain iron]

Finally some good fucking content.

[crisp crown]

did you know the leaves are woke because they grow on trees?

[lucid saffron]

fr

[waxen valley]

The woke slayer

[radiant shard]

Does anyone think there will be a dark ages crucible?

[fleet spruce]

Maybe? Kinda hard to say

[rancid plume]

that’d be pretty sick, but I think so

[copper torrent]

It would be a sin to not have the crucible in the medieval themed melee based Doom game

[hot lava]

Why’s it woke?

[scenic lichen]

I agree, to play TDA it should be a required to beat doom eternal UN we don’t need casual gamers they’re bad for the community!

[tropic raft]

I play on nightmare, am I vaild chat?

[plain iron]

I play hurt me plenty and below, am I valid?

[scenic lichen]

No get out

We only need the best of the best here

Nobody else is allowed

[tropic raft]

Aight I'll pack my bags.

[woven jolt]

pathetic

[nova karma]

that's something I had thought about ages ago, if it did it'd either be a set piece or a passing remark

[plain iron]

[fleet spruce]

I used to do so myself, but after trying Ultra Violence i honestly didn't feel much of a difference between them

like Blood Swamps and Holt are equally ball busting on HMP and UV lmao

unlike say, Sigil for classic Doom where HMP and UV are completely different experience

[vagrant path]

I think he's doing something called, 'rage baiting'.

and very badly to be quite honest.

@crisp crown try harder.

[hot lava]

TFW everyone played doom 93 in 93 because it was casual and accessible to a wide variety of people
TFW DOOM is the perfect casual and hardcore game

[hot lava]

They’ve gone quiet because they have no argument

[vagrant path]

typical.

[prime sentinel]

Doom has always appealed to both super casual and hardcore fans

Universally appealing ass game

[hot lava]

Everyone losing their minds about the difficulty slider when they forget difficulty sliders already existed it was just limited to 4 difficulties

[prime sentinel]

Personally I play classic doom with a podcast on in the background, I love the super casual experience

I think the only people still flipping their shit about sliders are trolls and capital G gamers

And grifters

[hot lava]

I want to see the sliders up to 11 on UN

[vagrant path]

Mainly grifters.

[vagrant path]

oh imagine like

super fast enemies

[hot lava]

I call them silly Billie’s

[prime sentinel]

(Capital G gamers are the type of people who say you didn’t beat dark souls because you used summons)

Basically gatekeepers

[hot lava]

I beat dark souls 1 no coop (didn’t have XBL) but Elden ring was all summons and coop because I am old now and don’t have time to grind when I have much less free time

[prime sentinel]

I always play without summons but I don’t think that makes me an epic hardcore gamer and anyone who doesn’t is cheating

They literally exist as a difficulty option

[waxen valley]

Gonna buy doom tda just to beat it like that 😂

[prime sentinel]

Dark Souls has difficulties built into the world

One of the neat things about it

[hot lava]

It’s not hard per se you just need to learn timing. It’s quite slow compared to an action game like DMC, Bayonetta etc I suck at those

I want to love them but I can’t learn I combo past XXY

[prime sentinel]

Yeah but character action games are typically much more forgiving

[hot lava]

What even is the genre name ha

[prime sentinel]

The challenge is in trying to get higher ranks

The only way to describe them lmao

[hot lava]

Hack and slash in 3D

[prime sentinel]

I think in Japan metroidvanias are called “search action” games

Which makes sense

it is wild when a game/games define a genre so much that future titles are referred to by its name

"souls-like" "doom clones" though, the latter eventually fell off in favor of first person shooter

what would we call souls-likes if we didn't call them that?

[hot lava]

Same with rogue-like and rogue-lite

Rogue was its own game

[prime sentinel]

yeah

I always forget that's an example

I'm sure there's even more

[winter idol]

metroidvania

[prime sentinel]

right, we named that one

for a while we were calling souls-likes soulsborne

I don't think that phrase is common anymore

[placid saffron]

action rp- wait nvm

[torn kelp]

I just got a unironic video in my recommended called “DOOM: the woke ages???”

#screenshots message

[grim cloud]

i wonder is the bruiser returns. i think we can spot potential concept art of it and a quick shot of a dev working on it

[spare panther]

bruiser?

[grim cloud]

in doom 3, it was some cyber variant of somehting, i think officially they are the generic name of hell nobles

i think there is a concept art show on that wall, as well as 1:53 timestamp point on the show case

i thoguht maybe it was a titan variant, but the other video looks to be another larger demon

the only concept art i could find its pretty crappy, not worth posting here

[cobalt fog]

Off topic but does Anyone know how to increase the volume on a video ?

[normal vortex]

I feel like not enough people are talking about how cool that armored hell knight thing is

In screenshots

[frail bloom]

That's cuz the rest of the game is a testosterone overload so everything looks ordinary even tho by itself it's sick

[normal vortex]

True🤣

[grim cloud]

it throws energy axes, it might be similar to the cyber baron.

[fleet spruce]

Man i hate bruisers, but they added much needed challenge to the game

either use artifact or use plasma gun to deflect their endless stream of projectiles

[grim cloud]

i always preffered double shotgun to the face

[jaunty quiver]

Surely people will mod in the pacific rim theme into mech segments if they have their own track

[stray pollen]

Did you guys pre order? If so what version?

[acoustic cosmos]

i5-11400h RTX3060M how cooked am i guys

[plain iron]

I preordered the collector's edition :3

I also preordered the helmet

[grim cloud]

i have to work mon-wed. Can't relaly play until later wed night, but ill prob be taking thursday off

so ill be playing at the same times as non collectors people will be playing

which also means mostly blackout taht week, but i hope there is a non spoiler chat channel. ill be drinking some wine

[graceful tulip]

I’m like 99% sure the collectors edition people will also be playing the same night as non collectors people depending how reliable the delivery companies are

[grim cloud]

Yah there is certinaly that issue, i did get my DE and 2016 boxes earlier than release, but that was through non bethesda stores,

[plain iron]

Hrr that's comforting, I bought mine from a Australian store

I actually have to pick it up

[rancid plume]

Both digital premium edition and collectors bundle

[plain iron]

Hrr I've been planning on doing the same

[stray pollen]

Nice nice. I recently got the premium edition for ps5 at gamestop

[rancid plume]

that’s awesome dude

[plain iron]

I did the same but for the Australian version of gamestop

[stray pollen]

Yea, dude no lie like just a week before TAG 2 came out I found a ps4 version of doom eternal deluxe for like 40 bucks on gamestop, happiest week of my life

[fallow mica]

Excited for release

[fair venture]

[rough heart]

Whos carcuss i forgot

[fair venture]

doom eternal demon that smap you de plasma shiekd

[rough heart]

Ooh

Damit my brain doesnt function but i know the concept

Ohh i remember

[plain iron]

The small fat fucks who make energy shields

[rough heart]

The fat annoying

Yea

[plain iron]

TDA's mancubi design looks fine imo

[rough heart]

Well yea it does remind a bit but still mancubus

[plain iron]

It looks like classic doom's mancubi [I think]

[cobalt fog]

It does def

[rough heart]

Yes i mean thats the point

[cobalt fog]

I love it

[rough heart]

They are remaking whole franchise but with universe

[plain iron]

Hrr I'm really hoping to see more wintherins

[rough heart]

Hmm

[plain iron]

The dragons we saw in TAG 2

[rough heart]

Ohh

[plain iron]

Wintherins

[rough heart]

Well maybe

[plain iron]

There's 2 types as well

[rough heart]

Ohh

[plain iron]

Serrat looks like the demonic one a bit more than the sentinel one

[rough heart]

Aa nice

Cool

[plain iron]

Serrat doesn't look like a wintherin tho, so it's weird

[cobalt fog]

Wenis

[lyric mesa]

will dark ages have m&k support for console?

[plain iron]

Probably not

[autumn dawn]

it's a modified wintherin

it has that cyber helmet

[lyric mesa]

[plain iron]

Wintherins don't have eyes. They also have a set of lower tusks.

[autumn dawn]

on second look at what a wintherin look like, i can see the difference

conclusion: it's a new non-hell dragon

look in #screenshots

[subtle remnant]

Is this doom game going to a semi open world

[plucky plinth]

more than likely no

[subtle remnant]

What did they mean by sand box then

I’m kinda confused

[plucky plinth]

sandbox is a broad term relating to several things

so I don't even know what they fully meant

[subtle remnant]

Do you think it’s worth getting the premium or regular edition

[plucky plinth]

get it physical if you can

but either version should be fine tbh

[subtle remnant]

Thanks

[hard thistle]

It just means the levels themselves are larger and more open

Working on my TDA Cosplay, these are still WIP, any thoughts?

[wooden acorn]

The tiny shield saw is cute

Did you make it?

[vapid lodge]

yes

[plain iron]

Shieldsaw for bunny.

[wooden acorn]

Oooo

Would ye be willing to make me one if I can pay ya for it? Or is it just a personal thing

[vapid lodge]

I do commissions

But I havent got a page on etsy or anything like that

[wooden acorn]

Ahhh fair enough

[vapid lodge]

And the version that I have its not spinning, the spikes I mean, they hide tho

[wooden acorn]

Oh fun, how do they hide?

[vapid lodge]

basically a manual lever

[wooden acorn]

Ohhh

[vapid lodge]

no motors or servos

its not my design tho

[wooden acorn]

That’s fair

[vapid lodge]

but I did print it and worked on it

[wooden acorn]

How much would you charge for one like in the pic you sent?

[vapid lodge]

probably a little shy off $180, since its not spinning

depends how large you want it too

[wooden acorn]

That’s fair!

[vapid lodge]

but I gotta ask for permission to sell

[wooden acorn]

How big is the little one in the pic?

[vapid lodge]

a little larger than your hand... I havent measured it xD

[wooden acorn]

Lmao

[vapid lodge]

You can find the same model on Etsy for the shield, but its not printed they correct way and they're way smaller

[wooden acorn]

Lemme know if ya get permission to sell em, would love to have one
Trying to get more non-Bethesda stuff in my collection lol

[wooden acorn]

Ahh

[obsidian shard]

no, Levels are still Linear in a sense and theres Still Levels/Missions

just way more open

and by Sandbox, they mean you can kill the Demons however you want

Melee, Shield, Guns, Glory Kills, Atlan, Dragon, whatever (Atlan, and Dragon are only during Specific parts since those are the "Pace-Breakers")

[delicate grotto]

Modernization of classic Doom level design. Can’t wait to explore the environments.

[woven jolt]

kinda semi-open because certain areas will open over time

[fleet spruce]

Yeah, something like After Doom or Eviternity in that sense

[neon perch]

They specifically mentioned the levels would be sprawling and nonlinear.

[autumn dawn]

now that you mention it, i kinda want TDA to be more open world

i like the idea of smaller demons respawning when you clear an "arena"

[winter idol]

Far better than I could do, thats for sure, looks great

[proud vine]

The harderst part is being ripped like the doomslayer ngl

[prime sentinel]

if that's the hardest part then the 2016 doom slayer is probably the easiest to cosplay lmao

since his entire body is covered

really, I guess to do Eternal and Dark Ages all you have to do is work biceps super hard lol

[vapid lodge]

Yeah I got some fake muscles lol

[mystic barn]

Anabolic steroids, my friend

[wheat sigil]

nah i achieved his physique as a natty on a vegan keto diet in about 2 months

[grim cloud]

New information is coming soon! I can feel it

[heady trout]

Your pfp is truly the leandemon

[grim cloud]

1. NDA For streamers being lifted next week 2. PC Gamer issue 396, 3. Incoming Trailer no. 2

All this might happen before april

[spare panther]

i just want new music clips really thatll hold me off until release

[grim cloud]

Probalby get a Hugo stream or two in late april, with a final launch trailer in early May

[hard thistle]

Do we know when the pc gamer issue is supposed to drop?

[grim cloud]

based on the past few months, every 27-28 days

once published, i guess they takea day to get mailed

dec 5th, jan 2nd, jan 30th, feb 27th were the last four issues

prob will be this week, just a matter of time for magazine scans

[hard thistle]

Yeah going off of that it would probably be this Thursday or Friday then, Monday at the latest

[summer obsidian]

Still waiting for the final collectors item to release

Bethesda would be stupid to only make 2 of the 3 key cards

Praying it’s something cheap

[grim cloud]

which color is missing?

and when do we get skull keys?

red is missing in 2016 campaign btw

[spare panther]

we're only missing yellow iirc i really hope it releases with a shield saw

[rancid plume]

Maybe we’ll get more 2016 merch for its tenth anniversary? Since that is technically gonna fall this year? Who knows honestly

[summer obsidian]

I don’t, it would be cool but I don’t wanna spend 400

[grim cloud]

that is like almost the same day as TDA release

[spare panther]

true

[grim cloud]

man 10 years ago, i was living in a condo, no kids

[summer obsidian]

Damn peak year was that long ago

[wooden acorn]

Day 61 of 112

[stone salmon]

I hope we get a master level of every level in dark ages

[grim cloud]

master levels and grand master levels because i coudlnmt beat the later ones

Master Level Campaign mode

[slender onyx]

i hope the DLC is the argenta civil war

since the main campaign will be the unholy crusades

[fleet spruce]

maybe?
