The juicy hell demons

harsh egret
#

dw plenty of big things coming for sure

frail bloom
#

No I know I'm sure to be impressed but I like fixating on this one enemy

#

Cuz he's so cool

harsh egret
#

in a matter of a week we saw trailer 2 AND cosmic realm reveal

#

ye he is

frail bloom
#

When I saw the imp stalker and classic soul I got a rush of nostalgia so I want to feel that one more time

#

Idc if the caco is lovecraftian or the archie's gone

#

But at least one more

#

It's the little things

true merlin
#

Probably bc they fit the setting and such

frail bloom
#

Just look at the gladiator

mental gull
#

the demons are still there we just got double the trouble with the lovecraft monsters now

#

it’s like how Halo has the covenant but also the Flood

frail bloom
#

That they're variants

mental gull
true merlin
mental gull
#

cyberdemon looks more demonic than ever

#

the demons look more demony and less alieny and the lovecraft monsters have the more scifi look in contrast

frail bloom
mental gull
#

and I’m also biased since like Hugo I love Lovecraft

#

So I’m ecstatic at the decision

#

demons and lovecraft? based?

#

It’s a fresh cross-over

#

and makes sense, lovecraft’s universe also deals with hellish stuff

#

just a unique scifi spin on it

#

which Doom was already doing anyway

#

Hugo knows what’s good

#

tasteful man

true merlin
#

Even if they won’t have a classic Baron I’m still gonna have fun

mental gull
#

I would have been disappointed if it was just more of the same fighting same demons with different skins

#

with predictable lava environments all the time

#

We’ve already explored Hell in the last 6 Doom games

#

lovecraft-verse is creepy and interesting and mysterious

frail bloom
true merlin
#

If we had a classic demon it would be a copy of the cosmic barons attacks

mental gull
frail bloom
frail bloom
true merlin
#

There heavy demons

#

Hell 2016 and eternal had a fast Baron

frail bloom
#

Have a fast cosmic variant and a slow hell variant

#

Maybe give it a melee weapon

#

Just modernize the design but make it's functionality different

prime sentinel
#

Bro just wants a big imp like classic doom

frail bloom
prime sentinel
#

Dude that would be so lame

mental gull
#

seems new cyberdemon with wings will be like the hell version of baron

true merlin
#

I’m just not holding out hope for a old design and idc it’s a game not like they can’t eventually

frail bloom
#

I can have both

prime sentinel
#

lol not really

mental gull
prime sentinel
#

Where he just walks around and throws fireballs

true merlin
#

Classic Baron of hell

frail bloom
#

like the gladiator

prime sentinel
#

Idk why you are so hung up on this

mental gull
#

We’ll see how the lore goes

#

there’s gonna be plenty of lore

true merlin
mental gull
#

frankly the lovecraft monsters look like demons to me anyway

#

Mancubus in 2016 was just some alien looking cyclops and people talk about that game like it had no scifi

frail bloom
# prime sentinel Idk why you are so hung up on this

Cuz it's cool, I'm not saying they're a bad team but they took out the archie, redesigned 2 demons with no chaingunner in sight. During earlier months I presumed that they would have all the demons from the previous doom games and add new enemies but by the sounds of it, they are replacing demons and taking some away

mental gull
true merlin
frail bloom
prime sentinel
#

A lot of the demons have equivalents or new designs, the baron is in the game, it just looks different.

true merlin
#

My guy they are demon soliders not sentinel soliders

mental gull
#

WHERE IS THE HIGH TECH MARS BASE THIS IS NOT DOOM

frail bloom
prime sentinel
#

The cosmic baron is the baron of this game

mental gull
#

WHERE IS SAMUEL HAYDEN THE ROBOT GUY WTF WHY HE NOT HERE

true merlin
prime sentinel
#

Maybe there is a heavy soldier enemy 🤷

mental gull
#

WHO IS THIS SAMUR MAYKR DUDE I ONLY PLAYED 2016 WHY IS THIS DIFFERENT WTF

prime sentinel
#

You just can’t tell because it doesn’t look exactly like a classic chaingunner

frail bloom
true merlin
frail bloom
true merlin
#

Fires fast moving bullets and there would be to many

prime sentinel
#

He has some of the design elements of the baron

#

It’s just a new direction 🤷

#

Imo redesigns aren’t the same as replacements

#

They are just redesigning the same monster

frail bloom
prime sentinel
#

Because they don’t need both

#

Design clutter

frail bloom
#

They have like 15 variants but that's not design clutter?

#

Mind you they have only 20 base enemies so far, less than eternal

true merlin
#

Ok so

#

We still don’t have the full roster yet

mental gull
#

HOW COME YOU CANt AIM DOWN SIGHTS WHAT KIND OF CALL OF DUTY IS THJS

prime sentinel
#

In what universe is 20 enemy types not acceptable anyway, despite the fact there are definitely enemies we haven’t seen yet

frail bloom
# true merlin Ok so

They had promised the "largest roster in any doom game" which is funny cuz they would have to beat doom 3 in that case

prime sentinel
#

Then clearly we haven’t see everything

mental gull
prime sentinel
#

They should put the commandos from doom 3 in

#

With the tentacle arms

#

Would fit, obviously would need a new design

frail bloom
mental gull
#

they should put general grievous in from star wars

true merlin
mental gull
#

Hell probably prioritized production of demons that filled roles that cthulhu monsters couldn’t

frail bloom
mental gull
#

while their alliance was ongoing

#

lore in doom 2016/eternal says barons evolved from normal hellknights

#

cacodemons probably evolved from something also given their vestigial legs

true merlin
frail bloom
#

I'll be dissapointed

pliant coral
#

Wonder if a cyber demon gonna use those wings to fly or just for show

mental gull
#

later hell evolved the hell knights into barons once they didn’t have access to lovecraft army

#

this is a prequel ‘member?

frail bloom
#

Cuz I don't remember that

mental gull
# frail bloom Do you have the page

UAC REPORT FILE: I2CN5KMB The Baron of Hell is the highest demon among the order of the Hell Knights. They rarely leave Hell, and no Baron of Hell has yet been captured by any of the Tethering Operations. Details regarding their behavior and physiology are therefore limited.

#

Baron of Hell are a type of Hell Knight

frail bloom
#

I see

prime sentinel
#

I just want to see the archvile replacement

mental gull
#

I think the archvilles in doom eternal are evolved forms of the imp stalkers also

frail bloom
#

I think he's the tentacle dude

#

Like a summoner type

prime sentinel
prime sentinel
frail bloom
#

Or y'know they share a common ancestor

mental gull
#

archvilles are said to descend from ancient demons probably referencing imp stalkers

mental gull
#

hell knights->barons
???->modern cacos
imp stalkers->arch-villes

frail bloom
#

Is the pain elemental gonna be lovecraftian too

#

Is is even gonna be there

mental gull
#

idk

true merlin
#

We don’t even know if he is returning yet

mental gull
#

they don’t want to spoil everything before release

true merlin
#

Ya for sure

frail bloom
#

Hm

mental gull
#

also lesser imps->summoners according to lore

#

demons are like pokemon

#

and dark lords prioritize demon production/evolution depending on what they want/need, they can only create finite demons that’s why they recycle them when their bodies burn up

#

they need to collect more biomass to make more hence gore nests and soul harvesting

frail bloom
#

M0no would be proud

true merlin
#

Makes sense

mental gull
#

after Slayer foils the alliance between Hell and cthulhuverse Hell probably has amassed more biomass and thus is able to evolve and produce new demons to replace the roles previously held by their allied faction.

All I want is to cook noodles, is that so much to ask?

I go to grill my shoulder roast, grill wasn't even plugged in, I plug it in, put on the timer again, it's not even turned on

frail bloom

So if they keep their word then we'll be surprised

Actually idc

arctic pagoda

I don't hate him, his voice just grates on my nerves

frail bloom

He's workin on it

arctic pagoda

Good for him

frail bloom

Gta 6 before Horde mode gaming voice update?

arctic pagoda

Probably

frail bloom

Lol

arctic pagoda
#

Can't wait to see Dean Takahashi's dark ages gameplay

#

I'm sure it'll be.... something

frail bloom
#

Well don't tell him he can slow things down, otherwise we wouldn't have fun

arctic pagoda

Ye

sterile summit
#

I just got the Doom The Dark Ages controller and it came with a code for the game

#

How do I get it into my Steam library?

#

Do I have to wait for it to RELEASE 🌊🌊🌊?

arctic pagoda
#

So why did Mick Gordon leave doom?

frail bloom
#

Not this again

uneven dragon
#

m*rty str#tton

sterile summit
arctic pagoda
#

I see

sterile summit
#

I don’t know a lot about it

uneven dragon
#

it's just what ID does with its composers

arctic pagoda
#

Hm

frail bloom
uneven dragon
#

yk like how trent reznor left cause of "management" in Doom 3
and mick gordon left cause of management in Doom Eternal
and the ancient gods composers aren't allowed to release the ost because of management

arctic pagoda
#

Explains why doom 2016 kept using the same 4 tracks for the game

uneven dragon
sterile summit
#

If I buy the Doom 2016 soundtrack on vinyl who gets the money?

arctic pagoda
#

I played 2016 recently and it was the same few tracks

#

Bethesda probably

frail bloom
#

You mean combat tracks

arctic pagoda
#

Yea

frail bloom
#

Ye they do repeat, like rip and tear, bfg division

arctic pagoda
#

I see

frail bloom
#

I don't think the others do tho

arctic pagoda
#

I like "I sawed the demons"

frail bloom
#

The same with eternal, it had meathook played twice

arctic pagoda
#

I see

frail bloom
#

Not a big deal

uneven dragon
#

it isn't just "the same few tracks" lol

arctic pagoda
#

I like a lot of the old tracks

frail bloom
arctic pagoda
#

Like waltz of the imps, Sandy's city, sawed the demons

#

You have to eat your vegetables

uneven dragon
#

just replied to u with the list cause u mentioned some examples, sorry if it was confusing

arctic pagoda
#

I know, I didn't mean all the time,just frequently

sterile summit

I just got the Doom The Dark Ages controller and it came with a code for the game. Do I have to wait for it to RELEASE 🌊🌊🌊?

Yea

uneven dragon
#

which sucks i hope finishing move are being treated well

sterile summit
#

Now I have a controller from the 4 major console makers. Valve, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft.

uneven dragon

🔥

frail bloom
#

Ye I hope the same, they do seem happy but I never know

patent robin
#

is there gonna be some kind of other thing for finding 1 ups when youre at max? if anyone knows

grim cloud
sterile summit
#

Haven’t used an Xbox controller since like 2018

frail bloom
sterile summit
#

I love this dpad

grim cloud
#

more demons to kill the better

sterile summit
#

I don’t like the placement but it’s so clicky

grim cloud
#

always

frail bloom
#

Alr here's a list of base enemies with their variants
[1]Imp stalker(classic): Nightmare variant
[2]Pinky Rider: leader variant
[3]Titan: cyclops, armored variants
[4]Mancubus: armored, leader variant
[5]Agaddon hunter
[6]Soldier: normal, plasma shield, metal shield, hellish shield variants
[7]Zombie
[8]Revenant
[9]Arachnotron
[10]Cacodemon
[11]Hellknight: battleknight, leader variants
[12]Cyberdemon
[13]Imp: stone variant
[14]Vagary
[15]Classic lost soul
[16]Komodo: gold variant?
[17]Cosmic Baron
[18]Serfs
[19]Acolytes
[20]Archvile stand-in

sterile summit
#

It’s like the PSVita dpad but loud

frail bloom
#

I want to add more to the list

uneven dragon
#

there will be bossfights and shit

frail bloom
#

But Imma have to wait my turn

uneven dragon
#

not to mention dlc enemies

grim cloud
#

i think the acolyte is the archvile stand in

frail bloom
#

Make that 19

grim cloud
#

And there is a demon called enforcers that act as a buff totem, whatever that is

frail bloom
#

Eh they're just buff effects on already existing demons

#

Like that shield soldier buffing two hell knights

grim cloud
#

he was a flag carrier

sterile summit
#

How do the Xbox Series controllers deal with drift?

grim cloud
#

we see a few of them in the footage

frail bloom
sterile summit
#

Like is it Switch where they drift in a few seconds or Wii U Gamepad where they’re practically [TITLE CARD]

grim cloud
#

But the enforcer gives off the red buff, so yah that is kinda confusing ... does it stack with blue? If it stacks it should turn purple

frail bloom
#

I'm not sure but the general concept is that it's an improvement over buff totems in eternal so that's good

patent robin
#

am i tripping or will the shield block the red projectiles and parry the green ones? i feel like in some of the footage im seeing people are getting damaged by red projectiles even while blocking

frail bloom
#

Maybe the shield is low health or they're taking damage from behind but that footage is too early to tell from

#

As it was an early build itself

#

"Just parry bro skibidi"

#

@patent robin

#

But ye they parry the green attacks

#

Anyways, the ost track that plays during the dev direct when the armored titan rises, it might be the combat track for the cosmic realm

#

Cuz I hear it in the cosmic realm vid

#

Where the hell is this clip from

true merlin
#

wtf

#

Why is it clipped so bad

harsh egret
#

i think i vaguely remember seeing it somewhere

frail bloom
#

Where is this from

harsh egret
#

but i have no memory when or where

frail bloom
#

Me neither

harsh egret
#

it was revealed to me in a dream

true merlin
#

It’s in one of those pods like the flail was in those gameplay vids

harsh egret
#

and it looks very sandy and orange around

true merlin
#

Has to be hebeth

harsh egret
#

so maybe in hebeth but that makes zero sense since theres footage of the shield used in khalim

#

aka first level

true merlin
#

And the shield and shotgun sequence from trailers

#

Unless it’s a shield upgrade

#

Wait a minute

#

That’s a shield upgrade

harsh egret
#

aaaah

#

ur right its just the metal parts with the chainsaw

#

i assume then u dont have the shieldsaw in the first level at least

true merlin
#

That’s why it has that clipping type behind it

#

U get the shield but u probably can’t throw it

harsh egret
#

yep

true merlin
#

Honestly I like that

formal root
harsh egret
#

want to know something interesting

formal root
#

maybe its an upgrade??

true merlin
#

Hm

true merlin
harsh egret
#

in trailer 1 the shield in the opening scene has a chainsaw in it

#

in trailer 2 it does not

#

hMmMmM

formal root
#

hmmm

true merlin
#

Ya but so was the super shotgun to normal shotgun

formal root
#

maybe its like

#

an upgrade to have like longer resistance to attacks

harsh egret
true merlin
#

I doubt bc it’s the saw part

formal root
#

weird

true merlin
harsh egret
#

just showing what i said

true merlin
#

Oh shit ur right

#

I like that change bc it’s to show that what u have is the standard and u have the sense of having a small not as great arsenal

#

Now we know where the rev animation comes from

formal root
#

what rev animation?

patent robin
true merlin
frail bloom
formal root
#

oh you know what fellas?

true merlin
#

Huh

formal root
#

what if the saw part is the upgrade that starts sawing demons and takes their health slowly

#

like like

you can only take off their armor by the start

true merlin
#

That’s exactly what we saying

formal root
#

ahhh my bad

#

I was unaware

harsh egret
#

i also absolutely love the newer version of the plasma rifle in the 2nd trailer #screenshots

#

compared to the first trailer

#

looks way more brand new as well

formal root
#

reminds me of the doom 3 plasma rifle

true merlin
#

Upgrades

#

Change the appearce

harsh egret
#

i doubt its upgrades

#

ive seen no other gameplay of it lately apart from this version of it

formal root
#

I wish we get like the unmaker as an actual good weapon

harsh egret
#

the copper tube is diff color in previews but ye

formal root
#

not the unmaykr, THE unmaker

harsh egret
#

i love they are still sitting and changing small details to make them look even cooler

true merlin
#

Well that screen wasn’t there until I saw the overcharge upgrade

formal root
#

wait, if we are getting the saw upgrade to the shield

would hebeth be an early level then?

patent robin
#

one more question out of curiousity, do we have any theories for how deaths will work? im hearing that the extra life system is going to respawn you at your last checkpoint, but if you choose not to use an extra life, will you restart the entire level?

harsh egret
patent robin
harsh egret
formal root
true merlin
#

Confirmed to

harsh egret
formal root
#

oh before siege?

patent robin
#

oh damn i thought it wouldve been taras nabad, from what i know it was the first demon invasion of argent d'nur and it was where the slayer gained his legendary title

formal root
#

so it would be khalim, hebeth, siege?

harsh egret
#

unless the order of the levels from the previews isnt the real order i suppose?

patent robin
#

i dont think so

harsh egret
#

cuz in the previews it was khalim - hebeth - dragon segment (part of its own level i think) - siege

formal root
#

huh

patent robin
#

siege is really the only one that the previews were able to record too

harsh egret
#

hebeth also was not played fully, only a mech part

patent robin
#

atleast from the videos ive been watching

formal root
#

huh

#

also i’m really curious about the night level where its raining

#

it looks very cool

harsh egret
#

and believe it or not, hebeth is the level where u get the plasma rifle xd

#

im 95% sure

patent robin
#

im so curious about the cosmic realm

arctic pagoda
#

Doom, the dork ages

formal root
#

THATS KHALIM?

harsh egret
#

yep

patent robin
#

thats the first mission?

harsh egret
#

yep

formal root
#

shit thats cool

arctic pagoda
#

Khajit has wares, if you have coin

harsh egret
#

2 weeks and a day huh, time flies

formal root
#

patent robin
#

im so excited bro

formal root
#

my bday is literally 5 days before dark ages

harsh egret
#

cant wait to spend fk knows how much if they release a life size shield saw this week

#

i wouldnt be surprised if its more than 300

patent robin
#

im a lore nerd and ik that TDA is gonna have so much lore bro

harsh egret
#

man can only hope

formal root
#

I’m interested in the toys like

how big is the cthulhu toy gonna be?

#

icon of sin size??

harsh egret
#

Life size cthulhu toy

#

👍

formal root
#

I’m assuming its gonna be like the icon of sin toy in eternal

harsh egret
#

u mean in game collectable?

formal root
#

yeah yeah

harsh egret
#

ah probably

arctic pagoda
#

For 12 collectibles you get, you get one Cthulhu part

#

Build a boss

harsh egret
#

exactly

uneven dragon
#

so is the cosmic realm where the wraiths come from

arctic pagoda
#

Probably

formal root
#

maybe it be like parts of a statue if we wanna get more creative

plain iron
#

Ohh i hope we get a Ahzrak one

formal root
#

yeah, and it has a big forehead

plain iron
#

Good >:3

formal root
#

literally funko pop styled lmao

plain iron
#

I'd buy that actually

harsh egret
#

and they all better be real life toys as well or ill riot

plain iron
#

I'm so sad we don't have a khan maykr one yk? Why couldn't we get the full set omfg

formal root
#

imagine how funny it would be they put a straight up shambler from quake as a secret in the dark ages

hard thistle
#

Yooo

arctic pagoda
#

A lot are saying that quake is canon to doom now

hard thistle
#

Never

#

Gonna

arctic pagoda
#

I don't, I'm just saying that's what some say

hard thistle
#

Give

harsh egret
#

A lot are saying and Hugo denied it

hard thistle
#

You

harsh egret
#

So glhf

#

GET RICKROLLED

arctic pagoda
#

Oof

But you wanna know something more important?

pliant coral
#

Hm?

arctic pagoda
#

You lost the game

pliant coral
#

Dammit.
I lost the game.

arctic pagoda
#

Yes, I did too

pliant coral
#

You too also lost it then

arctic pagoda
#

Yes, double edged sword, telling people they lost, because then you lose

tight elm
pliant coral
#

So?

wooden acorn
#

do we know when collectors edition is shipping out?

silent surge
wooden acorn
#

for now...

fleet spruce
#

then you have people claiming that tda is related to hexen/heretic, atleast quake one is believable

mystic barn
#

Quake has been more about the Strogg than it has anything Lovecraftian, and it’s been that way for decades now. Heretic and Hexen have had a consistent medieval motif since their inception, so comparisons to those games will, understandably, be drawn

fleet spruce
#

It kinda ends on the medieval motif part as well

uneven dragon
#

I think they’re definitely maybe a little bit inspired by Quake

meager vortex
#

stand and fight! slayer!

pliant coral
#

Wonder what beast the cape came from

meager vortex
#

demon hair

#

he can rip and tear you know

pliant coral
#

I mean it could be from one of the demons we fight. Like the one that is suppose to counter the Slayer

slate patrol

I shouldn't buy this game.
I probably can't afford this game.

#

I recall having a Heretic post of mine deleted from a Retro FPS Facebook group because the Admins didn't consider Heretic to be an FPS game. 🤦

mystic barn
#

Yeah, I remember hearing it was originally going to be titled Wor before that was thrown out. QC has done wonders for connecting Quake to Quake 2 and its world, but ultimately, the Strogg have had a stronger focus on Quake than the Lovecraftian elements

sonic turret
#

But honestly, I never got into Quake 3 or Quake Champions because I was playing UT around the time of Q3 and COD around the time of QC.

#

When everyone else was playing Half Life, I was playing Kingpin.

hey lads, do we know if there will be a VR mode for TDA?

plucky plinth
#

Probably not

#

Out of every single Doom game that has released, a single one has gotten an official VR port

#

No, I am not counting VFR, as that’s not a port, it’s a game.

also vfr is dog arse

In EU, the collectors edition will come from Germany. So it will get to you fast in Hungary as well

fading mason
#

I'm really looking forward to it🥹I just need to prepare my pc for it🤣

plain iron
#

See, I doubt that it'll arrive on time here in Australia, so I think I was justified in buying the digital copy

wooden acorn
tropic adder
#

Yeah. I feel the same. Sometimes digital copies are justified. And if we want the statue, we could, I dunno, dig on ebay? Shipping wasn't even available where I'm from. Tried over friends in Norway but turns out it would've cost A LOT MORE due to the customs and all. But like I said some days earlier, turned out it was a good decision to give up that statue. Made a friend and a cousin happy with their early bday presents. ^^ And I also dont feel bad giving such amount on myself, cuz I had to cover some funeral expenses the same month so... I would really feel shitty if I proceeded with my original plan.

harsh egret
#

no but its just kinda random

plain iron

I was maybe hoping for maybe a replica of the shotgun or smthn but holy fuck.

harsh egret
#

the whole bundle is random asf

formal root
#

cool skin but like

#

no man

plain iron
#

Who tf wants that skin on a gpu like that 😭

formal root
#

yeah

lament grove
#

yeah it doesnt look good tbh, reminds me of the hoodie they released like bro 😭

plain iron
#

Honestly tho the slayer symbol on the fan is so iconic

harsh egret
lament grove
#

£87 for a plain black hoodie with the concept art png slapped on

harsh egret
#

no disrespect to the concept art but that hoodie is so bad

lament grove

literally

Genuinely it makes me weep.

Still would lowkey buy it but you ain't seeing me wear it outside the house

harsh egret

releases tmr

plain iron
#

YAY. VEGA ISNT BEING A DICK.

harsh egret
#

the shirt is better than the hoodie

formal root
#

so like

harsh egret
#

it would sell better if it was a standalone product

formal root
#

do you get the gold skin with the premium edition or

plain iron
#

I'm still so upset the yellow card goes to a fucking GPU BUNDLE.

harsh egret
#

i would literally get the shirt

formal root
#

is it gonna be a code thing or like

harsh egret
#

cuz u would reserve it for a collectors item, not a 2k dollar gpu bundle xd

plain iron
#

I mean. At least folk can now upgrade their pc to play TDA and get the game all at once 😭

harsh egret
#

well im fine with what i paid cuz this shit is gonna be expensive

#

id rather pay 1k for my 5070 ti than pay 2k for this

formal root
#

i’ll just build own computer man

plain iron
#

Please please todd howard's gear store please sell the yellow card by itself I'm fucking begging you.

formal root
#

thanks

plain iron
#

Ima bite whoever made that choice.

formal root
#

imma bite whoever is making these choices

harsh egret
#

they even have a "trailer" for the gpu and its so badly edited 😭

You got the feral doomcord chatters out

yeah no actually fuck this

harsh egret
winter idol

lots of doom licensing this time around

plain iron
#

I hope the backlash is bad enough for them to not be a dick and have the yellow keycard in another bundle.

formal root
#

yeah like

winter idol
#

bethesda gear store has always been shit

harsh egret
#

not sure if they will get backlash really

#

some people will be happy and thats not us

formal root
#

I gotta pay 2k for a fucking yellow key card?

plain iron

I hope they get hit w pocket sand 420 times.

harsh egret
formal root
#

whatever, drive them insane my cosmic realm demon

harsh egret
#

so u buy the game AGAIN

formal root
#

BULLSHIT MAN

harsh egret
#

which is so stupid

prime sentinel
#

I mean, only hardcore collectors are going to go for all 3 keys, and hardcore collectors are usually the type to spend absurd amount of money lol

formal root
#

yeah no

plain iron
#

Not really 😭

harsh egret
#

u gotta understand what the bundle has and then u see why its so bad

formal root
#

listen, I pre-ordered the game and got a cool controller

i am content

plain iron
#

I'm a baby collector and for me the main pain for price has been the shipping 😭

formal root
#

I am content with what I have

prime sentinel
#

I am just getting the game :p

PLUS LIKE LIKE

#

i already have that classic keycard collection thingy though so i can do without it :P

formal root
#

DO NOT FALL FOR IT

harsh egret
#

i think it would be way more acceptable if the bundle didnt have the game as well on it lmao

#

and no keycard

formal root
sleek ermine
formal root
#

I don’t have the money for THAT bundle

formal root
#

okay good

prime sentinel
#

when it comes to physical collectibles I think the most I'd be willing to spend is like 150

#

and I would have to be feeling financially stable

formal root
#

so random they just add a golden skin

put that shit in game dawg

#

Make it a reward for beating pandemonium or sumn

lament grove
#

collectors edition should have come with that legionary skin 😔

formal root
#

but i’m already getting like 3 skins for less

#

the skin is cool tho

but like, buying the game again???

prime sentinel
#

the slayer statue would be neat but I'm not dropping another cent on this game after spending 105 dollars for the premium edition

#

I don't need it

formal root
#

I spent almost 200 bucks for the game and controller

#

so i’m good

harsh egret
#

ye i bought the CE and upgraded my gpu for this game

prime sentinel
#

yeah I'm not spending that much for a video game lol

#

controller is neat, but I don't need one

harsh egret
#

i was very close to getting it

formal root
harsh egret
#

but i dont need it either

prime sentinel
#

I wanted to get this Ellie statue from TLOU part 2 but its not in stock anymore 😦

#

it was pretty reasonably priced too

formal root
#

eh, I needed a controller anyways

so yknow

prime sentinel
#

yeah if you need it that's fine, or if you just want it and are okay with spending that much

#

but personally, I think games are already expensive and I only have one shelf for nerd shit

plain iron
formal root
#

oh wait

prime sentinel
#

I don't care for that color scheme

#

I don't like how the brown is the primary color and the secondary is so bright

formal root
#

you can get it without game

harsh egret
formal root
#

its cool

prime sentinel
#

O

formal root
#

but, eh

i don’t really hit as nice tho

prime sentinel
#

I'm always gonna prefer the default color scheme

formal root
#

The executioner skin looks cooler in my opinion

prime sentinel
#

skins that are actually new models instead of just color schemes are cool, but when it comes to just different colors, I think the old school green is the best

formal root
#

yeah

formal root
#

it was literally different models

prime sentinel
#

we might get those kinds of skins still, I mean Eternal had both

harsh egret
#

i wonder if they will do another battlepass system thing in this one

formal root
#

I don’t think

prime sentinel
#

but I wouldn't be too upset if they didn't, if that dev time was instead put into making the singleplayer as good as it can possibly be

formal root
#

maybe they do something for it like horde mode again

#

this time is called “invasion” or something

#

how much is a 5080 anyways?

lament grove
#

the free skins will def be 100x cooler than than the three we have rn lets be fr lets forget that disappointing gpu bundle 💀

prime sentinel
formal root
prime sentinel
#

the msrp is 1000

formal root
#

oh thats good

formal root
prime sentinel
#

well no its not, because that's not how much its being sold for lol

lament grove
formal root
#

shit

the gold helmet could have looked cooler it was red instead

#

or yknow

actually be legionare themed

prime sentinel
#

in a perfect world, the msrp would be its going price all the time

#

but because of stock and demand, the price is much higher

harsh egret
#

"look we give u so many different things come buy"

#

it might be even more actually

lament grove
#

thats definitely the reason

formal root
#

yeah

#

damn

why a gpu bundle-

prime sentinel
#

msrp of the RX 9070XT is 600 dollars, but its going for 700 to over 1000

#

it was really bad when it first launched, but its going down I think

#

it is apparently selling 10 times what the last gen equivilent for AMD

#

which is good news for everyone

autumn dawn
#

is the yellow key card just for decoration or csn you insert it into your pc

prime sentinel
#

they're just decoration

formal root
#

just decoration

prime sentinel
#

basically: its a piece of plastic

harsh egret
#

metal*

prime sentinel
#

whoops, sorry

harsh egret
prime sentinel
#

basically: its a shard of metal

#

they do look neat

harsh egret
#

i heard the keycards are good quality

#

heavier than they look

autumn dawn
#

question is: are you spending $2000 for a yellow plate of metal

prime sentinel
#

me? no

#

there are hardcore collectors that will

#

I am not willing to spend another cent on this game

#

and unless there is a second DLC, I probably won't ever

harsh egret
#

id been fine spending 400 for a life size shield saw or smth

#

but this bundle is literally an illusion for value

#

its manipulating u into thinking u are paying a good price just cuz the mousepad and the shirt arent for sale, but they are literally 35 dollar products

prime sentinel
#

collectors editions are kinda always that though

harsh egret
#

this is something else imo

prime sentinel
#

its never actually worth what it is

harsh egret
#

this is not a collectors item imo

#

i dont look at it that way

prime sentinel
#

huge recent example is the 666 dollar big box Doom release

#

that is 100 percent not worth nearly that much

plain iron
#

It'd say its that much bcs it's the will it run edition 😭

prime sentinel
#

more like the "who will buy" edition

plain iron
#

A lot of folk kekw

harsh egret
autumn dawn
#

Will It Sell edition

formal root
#

“will they buy it?” edition

autumn dawn
#

Will We Go Bankrupt edition

prime sentinel
#

how many times are we going to reiterate the joke I just made 💀

autumn dawn
#

i have no idea i'm just bored

formal root
#

when i’m in a most expensive competition and my opponent is nvidia

prime sentinel
#

NVIDIA needs proper competition, its cool to see Intel finally showing up with their more affordable GPUs, and AMD is also doing better

#

blackwell is pretty unpopular rn

harsh egret
prime sentinel
#

but lots of people will buy it because its NVIDIA

harsh egret
#

i "guess" its slightly more acceptable now? but not really

formal root
#

I don’t think

harsh egret
#

oh well it is what it is

whole narwhal
#

but im good with my 4080 super

prime sentinel
#

4070 ti super was what I was looking at before deciding to go for the 9070xt

#

4080 super is a great card, not that I know from experience :p my last card was a 2070 super

harsh egret
#

i played indiana jones on my 3070 and thats the game where i realised yeah this vram aint enough brother

whole narwhal
#

i got my 4080 super for like 800 bucks cuz some retail store close to me had some crazy sales

harsh egret
#

so i went and bought a 5070 ti

prime sentinel
#

I need to install Indiana jones, it’ll probably give me a good idea of how TDA will run

prime sentinel
#

TDA might even run better

harsh egret
#

ye for sure

#

but the vram thing still stands i think

#

the game was crashing on boot if i changed settings to high or above

prime sentinel
#

The texture cache setting was bugged maybe that’s the issue you had?

harsh egret
#

nah i was running out of vram

#

8gb was just not enough

prime sentinel
#

Would it be enough for dark ages?

harsh egret
#

i got 16 now so im good for hopefully 2 years coolcaco

prime sentinel
#

Because 8 is pretty low

formal root
#

I think dark ages takes 16gb

harsh egret
#

12 should be minimum nowadays

harsh egret
prime sentinel
#

Yeah so why would you assume it runs better than Indiana jones besides the fact the engine was built for TDA

harsh egret
#

just to be safe, even if it hurt my wallet like a mf

prime sentinel
#

I was surprised it ran as well as it did on my 2070s :p

harsh egret
#

id knows how to optimize their game

whole narwhal
#

one day till collectors edition get shipped, even if i saw some people getting their shipping info already 🙃

prime sentinel
#

Like it was 60 fps

merry lion
prime sentinel
#

Indiana Jones was praised for being more optimized than most triple a releases these days

formal root
harsh egret
#

it was yes, but it requires a way better pc than most ppl have

prime sentinel
#

I assume TDA will run better because the engine is built just for it, instead of being a modified Eternal engine

#

But the reason I think it will give me a good gauge for how TDA will run is because of the forced RT

#

So I know if it runs pretty great for me here then TDA is likely to run a bit better

#

And if there’s anything I’m concerned about it’s AMDs RT performance, though the 9070xt is their best rt card, it’s NVIDIA’s tech and they have a stranglehold on it

harsh egret
#

and for that reason i dont understand getting an amd gpu

prime sentinel
#

Price to performance is better

#

I decided to switch over just to see how it goes

harsh egret
#

amd will always be behind nvidia, nvidia adds something new and then amd adds it in a waaay worse form

prime sentinel
#

So we’ll see, so far I’m happy with how it performs but I’ve only played TLOU part 2

harsh egret
#

like bruh

#

threat interactive made a very good vid on this

prime sentinel
#

No one seems particularly happy with this gen for nvidia

#

And I wanted something current, and high vram cards were pretty unavailable in prebuilts

#

Thusly

#

That was the sticking point for me, the 5070 has 12 gigs of vram

harsh egret
#

yeah but they almost trick u with "better specs" and "lower prices" while also giving u a noticeably worse product

prime sentinel
#

Idk their cards aren’t burning wires rn

#

🤷

Morning

harsh egret
#

my 5070 ti has been nothing but perfect either way

prime sentinel
#

The product nvidia produces themselves?

harsh egret
#

idk i could be wrong

#

all i know is ive been perfectly fine

prime sentinel
#

Idk I don’t regret my purchase, but give me a few months and I’ll give you an update

#

This is the first time I’ve tried AMD

harsh egret
#

as long as it satisfies you im sure u'll be fine

prime sentinel
#

165 fps in TLOU part 2 at native 2k is pretty sick

#

And like you said, Id’s optimization is on point, so it’ll likely run better than that

My last two I put together but I kinda decided I didn’t feel like it this time and did a prebuilt

And wouldn’t you know they fucked it in shipping and I had to return it and get another lmao

I always get shat on for liking prebuilts, I genuinely don't know why 😭

i dont think i went more nerd mode on stuff than before i built my first pc 3 years ago

Also, curious about something with AMD

I heard the the amd motherboards can use both old and new cpus

is that true or am I misremembering?

not to mention the zero effort airflow they have sometimes

I think you should at least know a bit about computers before buying a prebuilt

plain iron

I do know a decent amount

prime sentinel

Like do some research because they can fuck you if you aren’t paying attention

The basics mainly, but enough

Plus if I'm buying a pc I'll ask around on forums or ask nyx

I don’t recall if I posted the computer I returned where they drop kicked the package

which on would be better? liquid cooled or air cooled

the cooler is also pretty damn good, it costs 27 bucks and cools a ryzen 9 5900x with a max temp at full power of 90C

The general rule of thumb for me is that a computer should be at most as loud as a fridge running idle, if it's any louder check that shit out

prime sentinel

Imo returning it and getting a new one was the proper call

Yeah it was clearly damage from the delivery

but one timei think i bought something and cancelled the order too fast, so it took the money and i never got it back

it was just a 20 dollar mic tho, i rebought it so no big deal

prime sentinel

Ah yeah at least it wasn’t something expensive

#

I don’t really blame anyone, because you know, usps has so many packages and shit happens

graceful lion
#

if im buying a gpu i will 500% be sure i want that gpu in particular

prime sentinel
#

And it was all made well to me

#

You get a computer in a truck riding around bumping and yeah, there’s a chance something will fuck up, even components arrive doa (though that’s not usually a shipping thing)

graceful lion
#

like the gpu boots, but it seems somehting wit the vram is fucked

prime sentinel
#

I’m glad I was able to get a replacement before tda released

graceful lion
#

gpu z detects the gpu, so its not broken or anything

#

so baically one of the little solder points might be a little off or something

prime sentinel
#

Is that your main card?

graceful lion
#

nno, it only boots to the screen with your motherboard's logo and it has alot of artifacting on it, artifacting from vram specifically

#

my current gpu is a 2060 with 6 gigs, so double the vram and a more powerful chip is much appreciated

ooh, found a 5070 at 500 that a best buy near me is selling
