[silent surge]

nobody knows it yet

[chilly wagon]

idk where these people are finding all the leaks

maybe im blind

[formal root]

this with the dance minigame system from the yakuza games

[fair egret]

I can’t wait to see how they top the doom eternal intro cutscene

[pliant coral]

Yeah hopefully it’s better or equals too

[mystic barn]

There’s been some leaks of the opening cutscene on Reddit, but in Spanish. Without spoilers, it tops Eternal’s

[fair egret]

I’m staying away from leaks and spoilers entirely

[grave cave]

happy birthday to everyone tomorrow (May 10th) is also my birthday :D

[minor flower]

[grave cave]

[shell wedge]

Alright fellas review score predictions for today ?

[burnt moss]

u r not a dev bru

[mild loom]

Happy bday

[tropic adder]

Any reviews out yet?

[north drum]

the early access first impressions

[north drum]

IGN gives anything 8/10

[plain iron]

Saw it, and I agree. I also saw you

[mystic barn]

I’m everywhere

[plain iron]

Deadass can't escape 💔

[burnt moss]

we're right there bro

like 3 and a half days left

[formal root]

I saw it

it tops eternal’s

[sterile sage]

I heard that the Dragon section has not been improved at all?

[tropic adder]

Improved as opposed to what? We haven't really tried it yet.

And tbf I dont care either.

[formal root]

tbh i’m more interested in the mech sections

[sleek ermine]

improved as in the dragon was ”too slow” or smth in the March 31st playtest for creators

[formal root]

it’s gonna be a powertrip fighting titans

[sterile sage]

I watched it streaming on twitch and I don't think it's any different from demo.

[sleek ermine]

you wouldn’t know

[harsh egret]

damn people went from complaining about trailers being too spoilery to looking for spoilers and gameplay the week before release lul

but ye i think the only thing i would like to know from "leaks" is if the dragon segments are better or not

[hot lava]

spoiler tagged is okay. Just right now any info from a leak/ unofficial we can't be having that so we will be very harsh until release

[frozen shuttle]

I’m so hyped for the game

[sterile sage]

Time is too short to improve.

[frozen shuttle]

Pre ordered it in February

[latent fractal]

im not surprised

oh well

[sleek ermine]

anything could be done

[lament grove]

Guys my collectors edition is coming between 12 and 2pm and im still in college 💔

[harsh egret]

Whoopsie

[fiery bobcat]

Is this game going to cause another fanbase schism like eternal because they changed the gameplay everyones used to so people will make 5 hour video essays on why it sucks actually cause it doesnt play like eternal?

[uneven dragon]

people will freak out over it for 3 minutes and then get over it :P

[tropic adder]

Well ppl can eat shit. If the game was exactly like eternal, they'd cry how its an eternal copy. Ppl dont like changes. They bitch about everything.

.... Says probably the most paranoid person in the chat... But I really don't mind whatever they throw at me gameplay vise. I am 100% it would be a blast, even if its NOT eternal... Which is great cuz we dont need another Eternal. It would water it down.

[fiery bobcat]

I remember when eternal came out there was alot of complaints about how they railroaded the gameplay so you didnt have as much choices as you did in 2016.

[harsh egret]

Ah yes, "no player freedom", classic

[tropic adder]

Yeah well... they can eat shit. Both 2016 and Eternal are amazing games. Eternal clicked with me more, mainly because "everything happens everywhere all at once". It's a therapy.

[latent fractal]

it solely comes down to preference. imo 2016 and eternal are drastically different games in terms of their combat loop, so there is no “this one is subjectively better”. its just preference, and for some reason the majority of people cannot accept that lmao

i personally prefer eternal but i get the arguments for 2016

especially for console players💀

[sterile sage]

5 hours

[torn spade]

so i can see this is just "what if doom was heretic mixed with hexen"
and i don''t mind that i just feel after 2016 the plot was lost.

eternal spent most of it's time making me feel bad and crushing my spirit and feeling, cheap

[queen atlas]

Holy shit the collectors edition model is waaaaay bigger than I expected

[dreamy relic]

When can we preinstall

Currently on Xbox it's only 328mb

[uneven mortar]

Embargo?

[sterile sage]

yup

[uneven mortar]

I literally checked in here just to ask that, you must be psychic

[sterile sage]

👍

[queen atlas]

Did anyone else struggle with attaching the cape?

[harsh egret]

yes

a lil

[queen atlas]

And how does attaching the new arm work? Do you just pull the super shotgun one out of the socket? Don't wanna break it

[harsh egret]

Yeah u pull it out

The hand holding the shotgun

[uneven mortar]

Now I've played Doom and Quake... what next?

[tacit plinth]

Wolfenstein

[uneven mortar]

I want to play something fun... sorry..

[plain iron]

Commander keen.

[safe ice]

Cyclones

[tropic adder]

Boltgun?

[queen atlas]

I honestly think its impossible to attach 1 side of the cape pins

[feral bane]

Hexen

[queen atlas]

Been at it for over 30 minutes

Nvm I did it

[harsh egret]

Lol took me like 5 mins

[rigid crane]

Welp… collectors bundle is delayed shipping by a day. Expected to arrive late on the 13th. I’m curious if anyone else is having issues.

[grave cave]

Dude it's so fukn close!!

[tropic adder]

I dont think its fair you guys dont get your CE on time, especially if you preordered in the first 2 months.

People on reddit spam info and screenshots of their shipments. Some might not even get it by 13th. Or 14th.

So basically due to logistics, some people wont get what they paid for.

Bethesda should've dispatched the CEs earlier.

[dawn badge]

I mean the name is kinda terrible but I wish someone would make a 3D modern version 😢

[plain iron]

... whar

[dawn badge]

I wish someone would make a new Commander Keen game

[fluid nacelle]

How long until reviews drop?

[dawn badge]

4 hours

[safe ice]

I mean they were gonna but I dont think it was really good

[fluid nacelle]

Just in time when i get off work then

Gud

Just 6 more days

4 more for the rich folks

Hope we get preload soon aswell

[pseudo sail]

I’m not rich and I pre-ordered it just traded in a bunch of old games that I don’t play to GameStop

[tropic adder]

I have rich friends.

[pseudo sail]

They must be lucky

Or they work hard

[uneven mortar]

Cooked

[sleek ermine]

vega please sybau

[uneven mortar]

Its funny every time

[pseudo sail]

Rip thought I could post a image of doom the dark ages doom slayer

[uneven mortar]

Rip... huge guts....

[pseudo sail]

Rip and tear…. Until it is done…

[merry sapphire]

i miss the old slayers club the new one sucks so much

[uneven mortar]

What even was slayers club

[sleek ermine]

free stuff in eternal basically

[merry sapphire]

like a community hub where they post news and updates and fanart and interviews, shit they wont post in facebook

[uneven mortar]

The eternal rewards stuff was so cringe..m

[merry sapphire]

also had a cool point system where it had a leaderboard and stuff and you get exclusive skins if you grind it out

[merry sapphire]

i mean it was just color palletes swaps

other than the zombie skin which just gave you the skin instantly without grinding for points if you link your account

[uneven mortar]

I just didn't like getting notifications in the menus and having "disconnected from online" pop up in fights tbh

[dawn badge]

I hope we get some more skins. The pre order one looked not great imo

[merry sapphire]

thats just connecting to online, has nothing to do with slayers club lmao

[merry sapphire]

i dont think this game is gonna focus on skins as much as eternal

keep in mind, the investments in skins on doom eternal was because the online played a huge part of it

this game has no online mode

[uneven mortar]

I'm so glad this game has no online

[merry sapphire]

im gonna miss battlemode HIGHkey

[dawn badge]

Fair point

[uneven mortar]

Although they could have just done a simple arena and horde mode from the start and people would have loved it. Baffling tbh

[merry sapphire]

if they did that, they would've. theres a reason invasion mode was cancelled as a whole

[wind shale]

Rememver when eternal was supposed to have Invasion Mode ala Dark Souls

[uneven mortar]

I get they didn't want to but what they did instead totally blew

[merry sapphire]

i mean they did want to, we have horde mode now

[uneven mortar]

Yeah ... but it was weird

They overcomplicated it and i didnt like that

[wind shale]

Without Horde Mode Doom Eternal maybe couldve had 1-2 more missions in campaign. Who knows

[uneven mortar]

"Kill the golden enemies in time and you'll get a bonus platforming stage that sucks ass!" Who is this for

[wind shale]

Imagine Doom the Dark has an Online Mode Post launch

Heavily doubt that tho

[uneven mortar]

Tbh I would like them to add co op

[merry sapphire]

it was sick idk what you talkin about

[tropic adder]

Can you play it without internet connection? Like can it run?

[merry sapphire]

it was so unique and the point system it had actually was so fun]

[uneven mortar]

I think so, not install tho

[uneven dragon]

Horde Mode is so heat

[uneven mortar]

I'm glad you liked it, I really disliked the creative liberties they took tho

[uneven dragon]

It’s kinda a little weird IMO

[uneven mortar]

Imo a good horde mode should just be constant action, maybe with a 30 second break to heal

[uneven dragon]

Like I get why they didn’t do it and I support it

But like Doom having multiplayer has always been sort of iconic imo

[uneven mortar]

It's weird and fucking AWESOME after all these years of live service slop. Though yeah, it is weird historically for the series

[uneven dragon]

It’ll never happen but some form of co op or just a Deathmatch style thing (closer to 2016) would be nice somewhere down the road (but I understand it’ll never happen cause that’d be a monumental effort

[uneven dragon]

Yeah Eternal’s multiplayer is … bleh.

[dawn badge]

People didn’t like Doom 2016 multiplayer and I loved it. Could be improved but still lots of fun

[uneven mortar]

You don't log into doom hoping to play as a demon, sorry!

Also the revenant super shotgun setpiece trying to introduce the mechanic was cringe

Well, not cringe. But kind of lame on repeat playthroughs

[uneven dragon]

Yeah I thought it was pretty good

[uneven dragon]

It feels kinda awkward?

Like it’s not hard at all and you just float. You can even touch the gun before you’re done shooting and nothing happens lol

[uneven mortar]

Yeah...

[uneven dragon]

Maybe if it was like a reoccurring thing throughout the level and got harder each time I’d like it more

Or like if you possessed different demons throughout the level

[uneven mortar]

Either that or it would get infuriating on repeats

It would be a fun optional minigame in the fortress of doom maybe?

[uneven dragon]

Maybe maybe

[uneven dragon]

Actually yeah I’d really enjoy this, if there was like 3 instances and each time it was a different demon

[merry sapphire]

i mean dread knight was pretty fun Ngl

[uneven dragon]

That’s my issue with a lot of Eternal, it doesn’t expand on a lot of the minor mechanics and just throws shit in there

[merry sapphire]

?????

[uneven dragon]

• 1 possession segment
• 1 beserk
• random 1 singular hostile encounter in the fortress
• launch pads but only in urdak

[merry sapphire]

launch pads? you mean jump pads?

[uneven dragon]

The things in Urdak with the rings and whatnot

[merry sapphire]

yeah thats just a level thing though

how else would you traverse a giant realm that has no floor

[uneven mortar]

The ripatorium introduction is also annoying

[uneven dragon]

Yeah but like why not bring it back for the Holt at least???

[remote thunder]

they did

there's a tiny segment where you get launched by one of those rings

[merry sapphire]

cause the holt is a forest. while regular urdak is like giant islands

[uneven dragon]

oh ya

[uneven dragon]

They could just.. like.. have separated foresty islands tho

[uneven mortar]

Eternal's pros make it a 10/10 but god does the game have a bunch of shit in it that would be better stripped away

[uneven dragon]

WHY DOES IT ONLY HAVE 1 BESERK

[merry sapphire]

posession segment was cool the first couple of times but ngl id much rather it be a one time thing rather than it be repeated. (thats something im worried about in dark ages btw)

[uneven dragon]

there should’ve been another Beserk in Final Sin at least

[uneven dragon]

Idk what I would’ve done is like

3 possession segments and each one is a different demon

Then it’s a repeated mechanic for the level

[merry sapphire]

the one berserk just shows how much the game changed in its last years. though they should have put more berserks icl.

[merry sapphire]

yeah i know, but like. its gonna get annoying on repeat playthroughs you feel me

[uneven dragon]

I would’ve put one in Final Sin and one in Cultist Base

[uneven mortar]

I think it was cool how Quake 2 let you store powerups for when you really want them. Just give doomguy 5 berserks and let the player pick instead of compromising specific arena designs

[merry sapphire]

replace final sin with nekravol

[uneven dragon]

That feels a bit OP

[uneven dragon]

Nahh Final Sin fits the best IMO, big open level with every single enemy in the game yfm

Or yk.. It could be in both

[merry sapphire]

the game already gives you free passes with the crucible and the bfg. this is just gonna be way too op

[uneven dragon]

I dislike the Crucible immensely

[uneven mortar]

Crucible was dumb

[uneven dragon]

It’s just not fun

[uneven mortar]

It better not come back in TDA

[uneven dragon]

Hammer was BUSTED but also it was more fun and flowed better

[merry sapphire]

true, but i feel like final sin should be the final test of the players capability you feel me. since its the culmination of the game and by then you should have mastered the game's design

[uneven dragon]

Yeah but like imagine one fun room in the middle that lets you go ham before getting back to it

just as a last hurrah before the end of the campaign

[merry sapphire]

i wish it does come back but as an actual melee weapon and not just a one hit kill weapon. its such a cool design just for it to never be used

[uneven dragon]

Oh tbh Blood Swamps and Immora should’ve had Beserks

[merry sapphire]

ykw actually yeah that makes sense

[uneven mortar]

I honestly don't like the crucible's design 😭 it's too cartoony and has no real weight to it

[uneven dragon]

I wish modern doom had good melee combat

2016 had a decent punch at least and it let you hold your chainsaw and wouldn’t do cutscenes if you leaped at a jumping enemy

[merry sapphire]

its cool as hell Idk what you talking about

[uneven dragon]

Eternal is all just like… one use stuff

[plain iron]

That's a issue all glory kills have in 2016 and eternal.

The animation has no real weight

[merry sapphire]

blood punch in doom eternal is way better than 2016 normal punch

[uneven dragon]

And don’t get me wrong blood punch has some serious OOMPH to it but like… not my style

[merry sapphire]

glory kills are sick what do you mean. though all the crucible kill animations (except the tyrant) are ass ngl

[uneven mortar]

Blood punch and glory kills all felt pretty great to me. A good "get off me!" and a good breather

I also liked the animations

[uneven dragon]

Blood Punch is fun yeah

I like 2016’s animations far more than Eternal’s

DoomBlade was overused FARRR TOO MUCH

[merry sapphire]

them nerfing normal punching was such a good idea i dont care if its a hot take

[merry sapphire]

idk i thought it was used fairly

[uneven dragon]

It works for Eternal, I’m not a fan of it but I agree you can’t do anything else with it

[uneven mortar]

They should have just removed normal punching as an ability so doomslayer doesn't seem piss weak

[uneven dragon]

Like I don’t like it but purely cause it’s just not my style not cause it’s a flaw

[plain iron]

I'm not sure you exactly get what I mean. It's cool. But from a artistic perspective it feels very weak. When we shove the doomblade™️ into the tyrant's/pinky's [i forgor] eye, there's no real weight behind the animation. No real force.

[merry sapphire]

yeah but like thats the point you know, the game doesnt want you getting close to enemies to panic spam melee. it needs to be intentional, thats why the blood punch exists. high risk high reward kind of attack where you usually have to set up a falter before getting close

[uneven dragon]

I HATE ETERNAL PINKY GLORY KILLS

2016’s are so much better

[uneven dragon]

Yeah no I get that it’s just not my preferred style of gameplay

[plain iron]

Like. When you stab something through bone and muscle, there's a lot of resistance. He just pushes the blade through so easy and its annoying

[remote thunder]

2016's inclusion of a panic quick melee is a result of following trends, every fps at the time had one

[plain iron]

Idc how sharp that blade is, it needs force.

[merry sapphire]

i can understand that, but theres some really unique glorykills in the game. biggest example is the prowler glorykills due to how brutal it is. like cutting open the prowler's chest and its heart falls out or digging your hand in this back to pull out its spine Shit is brutal. i genuinely think the slayer hates that particular demon to death

[plain iron]

A example of what I mean is like. Idk the parry in ultrakill. That pause that occurs when you pull it off gives that idea of force.

[uneven dragon]

prowler has some of the better ones

[merry sapphire]

ouhhh i think i understand what you mean now

[plain iron]

Yeah lmao

[merry sapphire]

i never really thought about it tbh

[plain iron]

Don't expect you to get it if you ain't a artist

[uneven mortar]

I do agree about the animations but that didn't really bother me. Shadow warrior 3 had some really weightless ones which bugged me tho

[merry sapphire]

alright no need to be like that man

[remote thunder]

one of the many symptoms of the "lol he god lol infinite speed infinite strength" image the slayer has

[uneven dragon]

AUGH I hate all powerful Slayer

[plain iron]

... what? I'm just saying I don't expect you to understand something that clearly the artists in doom struggle w 😭

[uneven dragon]

he was glazed to shit in 2016 but somehow he still felt like he was struggling there

[plain iron]

It's a common issue in many games

[uneven mortar]

Slayer should be like a chainsaw. Terrifying but not actually all powerful

[plain iron]

He's a Mary Sue and I'll stand on that hill till I die.

[merry sapphire]

lowkey that sounded condescending as hell LMAO my fault

[uneven dragon]

I did enjoy Final Doom/Doom 64’s characterisation of the Doomguy where he’s just fucking lost it lmfao 😭

[uneven mortar]

Tbh I like all powerful slayer, because I care more about him as an experience and a vessel for player expression than a properly written character

[merry sapphire]

genuinely hate how they made him to be like the chosen one who was ordained at birth to be some primal someshit man i liked it when he was just an underdog that rose to the ranks of sentinal just because he worked his ass for it and nothing else

[uneven mortar]

Trueeee

[merry sapphire]

him being related to primevals or some shit like that is so stupid

[uneven dragon]

Yeah in 2016 he still felt like… idk. It felt different than him in Eternal

Eternal is a goofier game though in general so it might just be the general tone portraying him differently

[plain iron]

Dw I also suck at explaining/expressing emotion

[merry sapphire]

2016 is supposed to be like horror esque in how the doomslayer is shown. like he is terrifyingly strong or something like that, while in eternal its more of an epic adventure of some sorts

[merry sapphire]

all good man 🙏

[uneven mortar]

In 2016 he had a certain attitude, smashing the argent stuff and clearly hating Samuel. I like when the games characterize him as hating authority

[uneven dragon]

Final Doom Doomguy is funny

bro considers being buried with his rocket launcher so he can kill more demons when he dies

[uneven mortar]

I don't mind him being super powerful as long as I believe he once punched his superior in the face for telling him to fire on civilians

[uneven dragon]

Also (in the manual) he has sort of a cool motive for TNT I guess

[plain iron]

I don't think he hates Samuel per se. He sees his use. But he might not even view Samuel as a person w feelings

[merry sapphire]

i gotta play final doom but is it fun hard or annoying hard

[uneven dragon]

Like the equivalent to Daisy is that all the marines he trained got killed by the demons so he’s pissed

[uneven dragon]

TNT is annoying hard Plutonia is IMO fun hard

Plutonia is VERY HARD though but I found it pretty fair?? Or like. Idk . I enjoyed the layouts

[merry sapphire]

i thought it was the opposite

[merry sapphire]

did you savescum or play normallyh

[plain iron]

I like to believe that doomguy in classic doom got his spine fucked up by a demon and that's why he can't jump

[uneven mortar]

I guess not a personal hatred but he seems to resent the "greater good" nonsense in a really satisfying way

[uneven dragon]

TNT is easier overall but when it’s hard it’s hard cause of BULLSHIT. Plutonia is hard because it’s designed so the enemies can use their full potential lol

[uneven mortar]

You cant see it but classic doomguy is wheelchair bound and thats why the games like that

[merry sapphire]

doesnt plutonia spam chaingunners like crazy though

[uneven dragon]

So does TNT

[merry sapphire]

like unfun unfair crazy

[plain iron]

Exactly. Fucker is crippled and he's just zooming bout

[uneven dragon]

also imo the Chaingunners were mostly okay in Plutonia mostly

[merry sapphire]

no wonder he cant look up or down his neck dont work 😭

[uneven dragon]

Olivia Pierce’s spine aligner was actually first used on Doomguy

[merry sapphire]

holy shit i forgot about olivia pierce

i should replay doom 2016 ngl but the levels are so repetitive 💔

[plain iron]

Real and canon

Olivia is a brilliant character

Folk just don't like reading into her 😭

[merry sapphire]

yeah she's a scientist of course she's brillliant man

[uneven mortar]

I get sick of 2016s UAC aesthetic pretty fast on replay tbh

[plain iron]

She has a very real motivation for her shit w hell.

[uneven mortar]

Most exciting element of TDA is there are probably no UAC levels

[merry sapphire]

i love that aesthetic, but seeing that and just mars and redder mars (hell) just gets boring really fast. my fav level there is vega's core due to how Different it looks.

[uneven mortar]

I really reallllly like 2016s yellowy hell levels

[merry sapphire]

thats not exciting i love uac levels. just when its not used every single level. (also they did confirm that there is atleast one uac aesthetic level)

[slim matrix]

getting the premium edition tomorrow lml

[uneven mortar]

I am unironically glad UAC is returning and I liked it in TAG as well, it just got old in 2016

[sleek ermine]

yo people

[plain iron]

Ever be in so much agony that you just want to be able to walk normally, no matter the cost? Yeah me too Olivia

[sleek ermine]

Check Spotify (Finishing Move Inc.)

[uneven dragon]

i like it :(

[merry sapphire]

agreed

[merry sapphire]

she should have just went on a horse racing competition

[plain iron]

Its so very corporate clean it's wonderful

[sleek ermine]

the DOOM The Dark Ages OST is on Spotify as a prerelase rn

[plain iron]

... she woulda died 😭

Well today’s review day

[velvet elbow]

I’m not sure I’m gonna look at it, I’m gonna play it and love it already

[lament grove]

Ups changed my time back to what it was smh

Back to 7pm instead of 12-2pm

[sleek ermine]

does that mean you’ll be home to receive it

[mystic patrol]

Watching the route of my collectors edition is like looking at a clock ticking

[harsh egret]

ikr

was staring out my window for hours looking for the truck

then i get a phonecall randomly im like oh shit lol

[cursive path]

They always ask when doom but never ask how doom

[velvet elbow]

Doom is happy

[harsh egret]

cant say, haven't met him

[mossy flicker]

I know this is off topic but I’m getting irritated with how agressive YouTube ads are
I keep getting 15 second ads like every 2 minutes it feels

[velvet elbow]

On my tv they want me to watch a full minute ad

[lament grove]

Yeah i finish college at 4pm

[velvet elbow]

I got about 5 days left of high school (counting the weekend)

Save videos to a watchlist. Go back to homepage and scroll. Your watchlist videos with come up as you scroll. You can then just watch from there (don’t click on video to open) and not a single ad plays. Only way I watch YT stuff now

[sleek ermine]

Use Brave browser or smth

[alpine pilot]

firefox + ublock

[sleek ermine]

Or Brave browser 🤷‍♀️

[alpine pilot]

also you can use something like freetube client PC or newpipe for mobile to avoid bloat in vanilla yt client

[sonic turret]

Okay so I've just preordered the game, and had to buy a PS5 too, as well as hundreds of pounds of other games, so it's going to be a long dark vitamin D deficient summer for me.

[chilly wagon]

had to buy a ps5?

there is gameplay up on youtube rn, dont know if it will be taken down

[harsh egret]

ill prob be mostly avoiding the discord in case of spoilers, but wanted to wish everyone happy slaying next week 🤘

[simple mist]

Yep

[hollow sandal]

Peace out brother

[mild loom]

i have finals next week, 3 days after the preorder

[split gate]

Same bro 😎, going here during the next few days is the equivalent of stepping on a minefield with no mine detector

[mild loom]

doom is more important

[hollow sandal]

Welp I just got spoiled a bit

Good move leaving guys

[chilly wagon]

just watched some of the leaked gameplay, im guessing its coming from people that dont know they cant release footage of their review copies, 100% game journalists from their gameplay its like watching someone play an fps game for the first time

performance wise though on a 4070ti its running at high frame rates even at 4k ultra nightmare settings with raytracing

[hollow sandal]

Beautiful

[chilly wagon]

eternals engine ran insanely well so im guessing its going to be similar performance on this new one

[plain iron]

Isn't idtech 8 specifically made for raytracing? Or like. Am I schizo

[chilly wagon]

its built around it yeah because they "raytrace" the bullets or whatever the fuck

[plain iron]

It's pretty neat imo

[chilly wagon]

as long as it doesnt melt performance i dont care

[plain iron]

Most engines aren't built for raytracing in mind, just with it slapped on.

[chilly wagon]

cough ue5

[plain iron]

I'm happy it's actually being used instead of it being a party trick and gimmick

[split gate]

Yo, asking for a favor but if they release the launch trailer with big spoilers like more info on the final boss, can you inform me just in case 🙏

[hollow sandal]

Holy fuck I need to play this game

[gilded summit]

I can’t wait for dragon combat! I think playing this game will make me produce so much testosterone that I will create a son via mitosis

[split gate]

I know what kind of videos you watch

[plain iron]

I will no longer need HRT then. That's $70 every 3 months saved ig

Every DOOM game fucks hard imo, every one I've played at least

Peak after peak after peak

[alpine pilot]

Id say TDA will be the peakest of dooms

[chilly wagon]

Pacific doom

[mild loom]

i dont own a vr kit, therefore the game is bad

[slender night]

Maybe let's judge it once it's out against games that have been out for decades

[plain iron]

I love the model viewer in VFR.... hell knights are tall chat

Same w doomguy actually

I may just be a shortass tho

[chilly wagon]

I can't get another Pacific rim movie but fuck it the altans work for me

[slender night]

I'd love a Breaking Bad VR game

Or literally just any Breaking Bad game, just make it mature and not whatever Criminal Elements was

[alpine pilot]

Better Call DOOM

[plain iron]

But that's what breaking bad is

[slender night]

That being...?

[gilded summit]

Doomborne

[alpine pilot]

Having breaking bad without crime is like having doom wirhout demons

[plain iron]

I mean the criminal parts. W out it it's like.... wanna play a science teacher w cancer

[slender night]

I never said I don't want crime in it

I capitalized Criminal Elements because it's a title

[true merlin]

Just a few more minutes

[slender night]

It's a defunct Breaking Bad mobile game that, to my knowledge, was basically just Simpsons Tapped Out

[alpine pilot]

Ah okie

[hard thistle]

30 minutes and there's gonna be a bunch of cool and awesome spoilers everywhere

[chilly wagon]

They can't show new gameplay

[delicate sequoia]

Eh so just vids like the ones months ago?

Wouldn’t that be just the same?

Kinda pointless

[hollow sandal]

There's already.Spoilers on reddit, do not go on reddit

Even tho the picture is blurred the title is a spoiler

[delicate sequoia]

HOLY HECK

[plain iron]

Mhm. Me checking a comment on my doom art I put there ruined shit for me lmfao

[delicate sequoia]

Yeh you were right…

[plain iron]

But idc really

It's in 3 days, I'll live

[hard thistle]

I checked reddit as a joke but damn first thing I saw

[hollow sandal]

Big rip lol

[plain iron]

Was it the opening cutscene or something else 💀

[hollow sandal]

Something else

[plain iron]

Good thing its in Spanish. I don't know Spanish so I didn't get anything spoiled for me

[split gate]

30 minutes later I’m going dark 🥸

[plain iron]

I did get the soundtrack names leaked tho so it's balls

[delicate sequoia]

How are we not getting more gameplay?

With all of this out there

[chilly wagon]

Some Russian guy uploaded like an hour long gameplay thing showing the full intro which is wild, no spoilers obviously but yeah this games story already seems really cool conceptually

[echo latch]

Oh god its going to be so hard to avoid spoilers isnt it

[tropic adder]

Wanna swich? Spoilers seem to be avoiding me like a plague...

[chilly wagon]

Yeah just stay off discord, YouTube, Reddit, twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and every other social media and you should be fine

[upbeat cipher]

All I’m seeing on Reddit is old stuff 👀

[delicate sequoia]

You think it will be the goty?

[chilly wagon]

I would send a link to the hour long gameplay thing but it seems that it got taken down already in 5 mins lol (luckily I downloaded it haha)

[chilly wagon]

Probably not tbh, goty winners are usually all rounders instead of being good at a couple things

Eternal was easily my goty but it didn't win

[dapper palm]

I would be happily surprised if Doom wins goty but yeah unlikely.

[boreal jay]

Time to go on a week-long walk in the forest then!

[tropic adder]

Why unlikely? Everyone and their mom have heard of TDA at this point?

[boreal jay]

Because Clair Obscur Expedition 33 exists

[chilly wagon]

This

[dapper palm]

Well there's other bangers as well this year but I am definitely voting for TDA.

[chilly wagon]

and all the other games coming this year too

[tropic adder]

Lol... i dont think you have to worry about 33

But others, maybe? Dunno.

[chilly wagon]

You really do lol, bg3 won goty and these two are said to be on par

[tropic adder]

I know TDA marketing definitelly pulled A LOT of people.

[dapper palm]

Ghost of Yotei could be Goty, KCD2 too..

[tropic adder]

BG has a cult DnD following. Even I picked BG3 and I dont play RPGs.

[boreal jay]

I definitely think 33 is a solid contender
And honestly it deserves it

[boreal jay]

Those are strong contenders too

[tropic adder]

I mean I dont say it isnt. The game looks amazing and I'm hearing good stuff about it.

But I feel like Microsoft is much louder with their new green guy

Might be wrong

[boreal jay]

I would definitely be happy to see Doom win, but I wouldn't take it too seriously

Some amazing games are releasing this year

[chilly wagon]

It's rigged anyway #balatrogoty

[echo latch]

I think its gonna be gotw

This game just looks so innovative and unique

[dapper palm]

Well at least TDA and other games now have a chance since gta releases in 2026.

[chilly wagon]

Yeah GTA is already a lock for 2026 haha

[boreal jay]

Rockstar was too scared of TDA obviously

[oak temple]

link

[chilly wagon]

Definitely, not because a game that good looking can't run on a ps5

[chilly wagon]

It got taken down, I only have the MP4 file now lol

[oak temple]

Ah fair enough

[chilly wagon]

Just wait 10 mins till reviews drop

[worn lion]

Must... Resist... Spoilers... 🥴

[boreal jay]

Some guy also streamed the game on Twitch for like an hour or something

Didn't watch it but be wary if you wanna avoid spoilers

[chilly wagon]

They must throw darts at a wall to pick who gets review codes

[boreal jay]

To be fair I heard some people can just play the game without getting a review code

Apparently if you get the collector edition for PS5 you can just.. Launch the game

Don't quote me on that though

[chilly wagon]

True

[boreal jay]

It's really hard to be patient right now

[upbeat cipher]

I don’t blame ya

[latent fractal]

are you guys gonna watch the reviews

im staying off in case of spoilers

im just gonna look at the numbers

[tropic adder]

I wanted to but I forgot to care.

[latent fractal]

cane?

[chilly wagon]

1 min

[snow hinge]

I'm just gonna look at OpenCritic scores

[hollow sandal]

Ladies and gentlemen it is upon us

[spare panther]

its timeee

[chilly wagon]

They can't show new gameplay btw

[latent fractal]

82 is the average

[spare panther]

Oh its looking good from the title alone

[latent fractal]

damn

[snow hinge]

OpenCritic opened at 85 top average, Meta's opened with 82

[hollow sandal]

🎶Allllstin 🎶 Hoooorde🎶

[chilly wagon]

IGN gave it a 9

[worn lion]

The Official Launch Trailer is up!

[snow hinge]

Mmmm dunno if I'll watch that one. Could be spoilery

They did show the final boss in Eternal's launch trailer

[boreal jay]

IGN giving anything higher than a 7 is a good sign

[latent fractal]

the launcher trailer dropped and it ended with an “available now” which is a straight up lie

[snow hinge]

Ended up watching anyway lmao -- good news is no spoilers

[latent fractal]

could you send the link in #videos as long as there are no new big spoilery clips

[hollow sandal]

Allstin?

[snow hinge]

Launch trailer

[silent surge]

review day!!!

[latent fractal]

ah

[sleek ermine]

Steamhappy

[hollow sandal]

Allstin!

[oak temple]

9/10 is great

[true merlin]

And reviews are live lets go

[latent fractal]

why does the launch trailer say available now💀

[remote pasture]

Does it say how many hours the campaign is ?

[hard thistle]

I'm surprised by how non spoilery the launch trailer is

[snow hinge]

Can't post anything there either lmao you'll just have to trust me

[hard thistle]

On bethesda's youtube channel it says pre-order now

[earnest swift]

lmao

[weary current]

i was scared to go into this server wtf

glad nothing spoilery's come up here yet

[snow hinge]

Thank god. I'm still mad that they showed the Icon Of Sin in Eternal's trailer

[split gate]

Ahh the launch trailer I’m COOMING

[warm ibex]

@pine terrace would I be allowed to post my review here?

[split gate]

No spoilers either the legends

[sleek ermine]

Bro

[earnest swift]

Also no Shill Up review on the embargo. Sad (maybe).

[hollow sandal]

Horde!

[dawn badge]

Can anyone tell me if Dark Ages has UI customization options / what they are?

[oak temple]

Horde mode?

[hollow sandal]

Yes

No, the Guy

Me and Wagzilla have similar questions

[oak temple]

GamingBolt gave it a 9/10 as well

[silent surge]

good that they didn’t reveal the bosses here
people gonna be stunned

[lament venture]

Currently 82 on metacritic

[plain iron]

IM F

[snow hinge]

Just for the PS5 version, PC and Xbox are higher

[latent fractal]

chat is the ign review spoilery?

[snow hinge]

86 and 87 respectively

[weary current]

oh boy, hearing this from allstin means that we're gonna have a super-feast on our hands.

[hard thistle]

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a good game but a bad DOOM game

[hollow sandal]

Facts

[silent surge]

better than eternal bosses

[split gate]

Allstin you’re making this harder to wait 😭

[plain iron]

I'm going fucking feral

[warm ibex]

I'd give it a solid 9/10, although I felt like the game transcends a traditional rating system. It's not perfect, but straight numbers don't do it justice

[hollow sandal]

Woooooo

[plain iron]

ALLSTIN CAN YOU TELL ME IF SAMUR IS THERE

[silent surge]

here’s the thing

i can sit here and tell you what happened in the game

but you wouldn’t believe me

because it’s so OFF THE WALL CRAZY

[warm ibex]

no

[weary current]

same, i'm already going insane because I CAN'T PLAY IT YET

[latent fractal]

under the mayor dropped a teaser for his review and said it was super good and very fast

[hollow sandal]

Guys😭

[silent surge]

what i can tell you is that there’s something interesting i wanted to tell you in particular but ill wait

[plain iron]

WHAT

[hollow sandal]

Loll!

[silent surge]

just a fun fact lol

[tribal patrol]

i hope we get to fight cuthulu

[plain iron]

WHAT

[latent fractal]

prime edging

[weary current]

is this better than eternal in your opinion? asking out of curiosity

[silent surge]

yeah i realized yesterday but kept my mouth shut

[remote pasture]

I get to play it on the 13th because I bought the collectors edition thank god

[hollow sandal]

Lolol

[silent surge]

sorry lol

[remote pasture]

And the controller

[warm ibex]

it's NOT in reference to samur!!! don't let allstin bait you!!

[plain iron]

ALLSTIN. ALLSTIN YOU.

[silent surge]

no no

[mild loom]

anyone in this discord server that votes for anything but TDA for GOTY will be personally castrated

[velvet elbow]

Holy fuck the maps are bigger than I thought

[silent surge]

horde knows

[plain iron]

IM

[silent surge]

but you’ll still be pleased

[hollow sandal]

@warm ibex is there an option to customize the weapon wheel. I've been dying to know

[plain iron]

Brb I'm having problems breathing.

[warm ibex]

I'll have to look and get back to you on that!

[hollow sandal]

Thank you!

[weary current]

still wondering about this, it's your opinion but i'm just curious

[split gate]

FFFFFFFUUUU

[merry sapphire]

holy shit allstin and Horde Mode Gaming

[silent surge]

no im serious tho

[hollow sandal]

Yeaaaaaaa!

Hype

[velvet elbow]

Based on how I play shooters in general this is gonna be my favorite

[plain iron]

God I wish I still had alcohol I need a fucking drink.

[silent surge]

they pull off stuff that you wouldn’t believe me, if i told you

[latent fractal]

chat does anyone know if the IGN review has big spoilers

[silent surge]

so don’t spoil yourselves on it

[mild loom]

do you pinky promise

[merry sapphire]

allstin how you liking the game so far, is the game worth the purchase?

[silent surge]

you’ll understand next week

[mild loom]

welp, only gotta wait 3 more days

[plain iron]

Erm achtually it's 3 days

[snow hinge]

God my vacation is about to kick ALL of the ass

[silent surge]

i have played too many long nights and gotten not enough sleep

[velvet elbow]

I couldn’t help myself I needed more doom

[chilly wagon]

Ok it's goty

[silent surge]

this is NOT doom eternal 2

[weary current]

"I HAVE SEEN THINGS YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE" - The Doctor

[silent surge]

you have to go in open minded

[warm ibex]

It's much more of a game than Eternal is. And it's what I'm looking to get out of FPS combat at the moment. But I feel like it's far to early to say if it's definitively better or worse than eternal

personally? I predict that it'll surpass eternal in the long run, at least for me

[tribal patrol]

next week needs to come faster

[silent surge]

they’re just different games too

[velvet elbow]

It still feels like doom to me

[dawn badge]

I'm gonna log off. I don't want to get spoiled or shake the Christmas presents under the tree any more.

[weary current]

oh holy SHIT

[mild loom]

excellent, i wouldnt want anyone touching my precious baby eternal

[spare panther]

Hey allstin and horde im not watching full reviews but i wanna know if the game gets repetitive at all?

[dawn badge]

Rip and tear, friends! 🎉

[chilly wagon]

Any content creators seen daisy ingame like in eternal??? I need to know!

[weary current]

also, i appreciate your input, horde

[velvet elbow]

It feels more like doom than doom eternal

[silent surge]

it is very long so i can see it being tough in that way

[merry sapphire]

niceeee. cant wait, also, do you recommend waiting a couple of days after the game releases for immediate bugs to get fixed or is the game stable enough for you?

[earnest swift]

Wth do you mean by ‘more of a game’?

[silent surge]

id still play it

[plain iron]

Allstin. Hoard. Once I learn, I'll find you. And I'll make sure that you either get a fuckton of fanart, or you get a bomb. Depending on what "it" is.

[silent surge]

it’s not a samur reference i totally didn’t mean to bait. but it’s a fun fact i found that i know you’ll appreciate pretty hard

[warm ibex]

I feel like I've done an exceptional job at letting you know that it's not samur 😭

[merry sapphire]

did you encounter like any save related or game breaking bug? cause lowkey thats my biggest fear

[plain iron]

Idc abt samur but.

[chilly wagon]

Have you been able to find cool tech like quick swapping in eternal?

[tropic adder]

I'm... not sure I'm happy about everything said here.

[plain iron]

If you think it'll make me hyped that's good.

[snow hinge]

How's the performance on PC?

[plain iron]

I'm gonna break a wall.

[pine terrace]

Ye

[snow hinge]

I'm fine with this. I had a hard time wondering where they could've possibly gone after Eternal and the more gameplay I've watched the more excited I've been -- practically yelling at the screen about some things people were doing in previews lmao

[plain iron]

I'm so happy this dropped when im home alone.

[silent surge]

you of all people specifically it will for sure. like i mentioned just a fun fact that you’ll appreciate character wise

[warm ibex]

It's a complete package and not just pure, raw combat. You'll go to TDA for absolutely everything, where most go to Eternal for gameplay alone

[velvet elbow]

I think we’re too used to eternal tbh

[silent surge]

cause i saw it and itll make you do the leo dicaprio pointing meme

[plain iron]

I DO THAT A LOT.

[merry sapphire]

wait you also played the game?!?!

[silent surge]

you’ll do it again lol

[plain iron]

I'm. I'm exploding.

[pine terrace]

Just watched Tyler’s review. Am hyped

[lament venture]

Wait why is metacritic only showing the ps5 score at 83 (the lowest score from the 3 systems when doom eternal is at a 88 but the lowest score for that was a 80

???

[weary current]

this is my second "OH BOY" i've said out loud today while looking at these messages

[plain iron]

The noises I am making are very strange and I'm happy bout it.

[silent surge]

the music is great

[weary current]

what'd he say, i'm aboutta watch

[earnest swift]

And you’re sure it won’t be similar to "Eternal" in that regard on replays?

[silent surge]

though it IS a very long doom game

[plain iron]

I saw the track list get leaked.

[merry sapphire]

official launch trailer dropped!!!!

[pine terrace]

Words

[plain iron]

The names are fun.

[chilly wagon]

Hahaha

[pine terrace]

Ah damn it vega

[earnest swift]

Lmao

[merry sapphire]

wait shit every video review dropped LMAO

[sharp jungle]

lmao

[warm ibex]

ah, bot won't let me

[silent surge]

so basically you can’t judge this game at ALL by the demos you saw

[snow hinge]

[plain iron]

Vega go eat a dick

[velvet elbow]

Guys my fingers are tingling

[pine terrace]

Yeah sorry. Dyno devs fucked up

[warm ibex]

so fair lol

[chilly wagon]

Does the campaign allude to what the DLC is about at all?

[velvet elbow]

Vegas back hell yeah

[silent surge]

it doesn’t

new story

[chilly wagon]

Ah okay interesting

Tbf eternal was like that

[lament venture]

Do we think the dlc will release in 2025 ?

[chilly wagon]

Hell no

[merry sapphire]

allstin did you finish the game?

[tribal patrol]

mid/early 2026 is my guess

[plain iron]

I'm gonna explode. I think. I think I need a bath.

[burnt moss]

i aint watching any of them i dont want spoilers

[lament venture]

Bro came everywhere 💀

[plain iron]

... no I'm just sweating and I've accidentally hurt myself so im sore.

God dammit

[weary current]

oh shit are you okay now

[silent surge]

i did
then i went back and replayed some boss fights to deliver it on em again

[velvet elbow]

I’m gonna cry it’s just so peak

[silent surge]

no need to explode. just a fun fact

[lament venture]

No GOTY for doom the dark ages but that’s okay it still looks amazing

[plain iron]

I slammed my hand into a wall cuz of doom I'm very normal.

[chilly wagon]

Is the sound track good?

[merry sapphire]

sick. just to make sure, you didnt encounter any save related issues or softlocks right? or are you not allowed to speak on it

[weary current]

can someone confirm or deny this without spoiling: i heard there was more demons and variants than any other doom game i could think of, is this true or nah

[silent surge]

no.

it’s great.

[lament venture]

True

[chilly wagon]

Haha very nice

[pine terrace]

What edition did Bethesda toss at you guys?

[hollow sandal]

@silent surge can you look if there is an option to customize the weapon wheel?

[warm ibex]

||yes||

[merry sapphire]

wait you didnt get an early copy?

[snow hinge]

Now I just need to know when I can preload on Steam

[pine terrace]

I didn’t say that

[lament venture]

How long did it take you to beat it?

[warm ibex]

digital premium and the collector's edition

[pine terrace]

Sick

[spare panther]

Did you guys find out if it has keyboard support on PS5?

[chilly wagon]

Ok well I have gotten a ||yes and no answer so I'm confused now||

[merry sapphire]

sick makes sense

[snow hinge]

Hell yeah

[earnest swift]

Do you know if there is a difficulty select screen for the game somewhere about? It’s weirdly what I’m most curious about atm.

[velvet elbow]

Id quit cooking I’m full

[plain iron]

I don't think you understand how much something small means for my tistic ass

[warm ibex]

||I'm not entirely sure what allstin is referring to, the ending directly sets up the DLC. although it is vague||

[burnt moss]

horde does doom slayer throw it back anywhere in the game

[plain iron]

.... does thira kiss women

[warm ibex]

22 hours, and that's with most levels between 80%-90% completion

[chilly wagon]

||2016 ending vague or super vague like eternal (ending of TAG)||

[silent surge]

oops just meaning like the dlc is a new story and this one is wrapped up

[pine terrace]

Here’s @warm ibex’s review that our stupid bot wont allow:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HcYA1XcYZU&ab_channel=HordeModeGaming

[barren iron]

that launch trailer was hot

[merry sapphire]

||eternals ending was pretty straight forward wdym||

[hollow sandal]

Thanks

[plain iron]

Still didn't hear the chonkyr tho

[chilly wagon]

Sorry I meant DLC

[mild loom]

these two mfs have the power of the sun in their hands

[warm ibex]

thank you! review is spoiler free, but I'll answer any questions I can here

[pine terrace]

Soiled it

[plain iron]

They're holding something above my head. I can't end it all yet I need to know what the shit they mean

[hollow sandal]

I am so sorry but did you get a chance to check yet? 😭

[velvet elbow]

I’m glad there are no soirées

[safe ice]

to anyone here whos played the game, can you change the hud face to the one from classic doom? this has been something I've wanted to know ever since hugo pointed it out in one of the videos they posted on the doom social media

[velvet elbow]

Fucking

[lament grove]

The launch trailer was so sick

[warm ibex]

I'll do that right now!

[lament venture]

Oh okay ty ! You seem to have done it kinda fast , do you have to do a second playthrough to get all the achievements ?

[chilly wagon]

The ending of the game is doomguy riding his shield like a skateboard into the sunset isn't it

[warm ibex]

yes!

[sterile sage]

How hard is full slider?

[burnt moss]

gonna stop talking here until the game releases to prevent any spoilers for myself

[weary current]

hell yeah.

[spare panther]

Can you check if ps5 has keyboard support too?

[warm ibex]

it doesn't

[spare panther]

aww alright, thanks

[warm ibex]

at least not pre-launch

[weary current]

also, i cannot WAIT for ahzrak to terrify the shit out of me

[mild loom]

sae

[weary current]

dunno how, but i'll see when i finally get to play

[safe ice]

damn so your gameplay was all on controller?

[silent surge]

he’s one of the best villains in the series

[warm ibex]

I haven't tried yet! I've only played around with them a little

[plain iron]

HOARD. How's Ahzrak's character?

[warm ibex]

I second this

[chilly wagon]

Are there "doom" levels like in eternal even though there isnt a battle mode/multiplayer

[weary current]

WHAT.

[plain iron]

Does he feel shallow or does he have a motivation that's not just "hehrhr evil time."

[silent surge]

i like him as a character while also hating him for who he is

so good job id

[plain iron]

I'm. If I could show you how I am feeling rn I would.

[weary current]

so he's kinda silco, aight
anyway i'll stop talking here to prevent myself from being spoiled

[plain iron]

SILCO.

[silent surge]

interesting character development

[chilly wagon]

||any quake references? ||

[plain iron]

I'm tweaking out. I hate you so much./j

[warm ibex]

yeah, no mkb since my GPU wasn't good enough to run TDA. My controller sensitivity settings were maxed out on both axis, aim acceleration turned down to 60

[plain iron]

I hate you all pink namers

[warm ibex]

lmao

[earnest swift]

Is the bar not in the floor?

[mystic patrol]

MY PC IS SAVED GUYS

[chilly wagon]

Is it a solid 60 fps on console?

[plain iron]

Explodes

[velvet elbow]

Oh my god the slayer playing with the toy got me

[naive flame]

6 days guys🎉🎉

[sterile sage]

What is the difficulty level?

[plain iron]

I'm so fucking feral

[scenic lichen]

@silent surge yo my goat sorry for the ping i just woke up how was dark ages? Did u enjoy it? How was it compared to doom eternal? Did u feel that the endgame held up well along with enemy roster difficulty etc

[safe ice]

great news to hear since I too am stuck on console. will keep those settings in mind (I say knowing that I will probably forget about them tomorrow)

[half plaza]

GLOWING REVIEWS THIS IS AMAZING

[plain iron]

I saw Ahzrak's final form leaked in those collectable concept arts. I'm.

[weary current]

ign actually gave it a 9 what the fuck

[velvet elbow]

Please ID I preordered the deluxe edition PLEASE LET ME PLAY

[plain iron]

I'm not normal over this twink.

[safe ice]

humongous if true

[warm ibex]

can't confirm that unfortunately, I don't know what it's running at. I would assume a clean 60 bare minimum since it's next gen hardware though

[warm ibex]

I played on ultra-violence

[plain iron]

"Doomguy, obliterate that twink."
- bishop kreed probably

[sterile sage]

now Im contemplating on if I should start on HMP or UV lol

[warm ibex]

Honestly you can probably get all the achievements on one save file, but I'd still recommend a second playthroug hregardless lol

[sterile sage]

Did you adjust the slider separately?

[plain iron]

Holy shit. Wonderful reviews.

[tribal patrol]

wonder when we'll get the first master level

[warm ibex]

no slider adjustments for my first playthrough, but they are separate

[snow hinge]

Glowing all around, that's what I wanna see

Wrong reply OOPS

[chilly wagon]

I hope we get master levels back

[silent surge]

it’s one thing to see, its another to fight. and also to take in how he is ingame

[sterile sage]

Isn't there a master level?

[silent surge]

i like what he develops into

just character wise

[plain iron]

IM. IM GONNA GET. GET YOU.

[lusty delta]

Saw the trailer

I can't wait!

[scenic lichen]

Without too much spoilers how good are the boss fights?

[plain iron]

I'm gonna fucking combust.

[long quest]

Is Nightmare harder than eternal!?

[tulip canyon]

Doom (2016, Eternal and The Dark Ages) set bar for first person shooters once again. Should other fps-series take learn an lessons from The Dark Ages?

[silent surge]

better than eternal

[scenic lichen]

HELL YEAH

[velvet elbow]

We got 3 days 8 hours 27 minutes GIVE ME DOOM GOD DAMN IT

[chilly wagon]

Probably the lesson is going to be to make something new every time and not conform to the easy money

[warm ibex]

Not that I could find, no. this is pre-launch though

[hollow sandal]

Ok thank you for looking man, I appreciate

[plain iron]

[silent surge]

i really do stress that the endgame did some things that NOBODY is gonna expect.

i see people in chat asking about this; or that; and im just like… you aren’t even expecting this…

[velvet elbow]

Easy money almost gave us a bad 2016 Doom

[silent surge]

idk how to say more without spoiling

nobody will predict this stuff

[upbeat cipher]

Oh the new trailer was lovley 🤌

[plain iron]

Ima guess that thira dies and serrat gets brutally murdered by ahzrak's final form.

[velvet elbow]

Then that’s where it ends man

[chilly wagon]

[spare panther]

Would you say you prefer TDA or eternal?

[tropic adder]

Tell Thomas in private. 😛

[grim cloud]

they really need to open up spoiler chat

[silent surge]

they’re both different

TDA stomps eternal on scale and story

[plain iron]

If you do, I might have a aneurysm.

[spare panther]

true, was just curious

[plain iron]

I already have a headache from this shit

[silent surge]

cosmic realm is just weird

but i like weird stuff so it fits

[tropic adder]

I fainted once...

[delicate grotto]

I’m debating on whether I should play TDA when it releases or focus on studying. Such a dilemma.

[velvet elbow]

I’m just gonna say if we consider doom 3 as a doom game we can consider TDA a doom game

[plain iron]

Real.

[mossy flicker]

Based on the reviews the story isn’t that great and is lackluster but the combat and overall game is good
Idk anything about how well or engaging the bosses are tho

Has anyone heard?

[barren iron]

AKA: It's a doom game

[plain iron]

Anyways. Ima draw ahzrak being a pretty boy

[delicate grotto]

Haven’t heard a word on the Bosses

[velvet elbow]

I’m just waiting for Civvie to say something

[chilly wagon]

Doesn't he usually review stuff retrospectively

[velvet elbow]

Yeah

I said I was waiting i didn’t say when I expected it

[weary current]

really? because some people here are raving about it

[snow hinge]

Usually but he did do a review of Eternal pretty quickly after it dropped

Like 10 days I think

[hollow sandal]

My weapon wheel....

[tropic adder]

You know some preorders depend on cerain spoils. 👼🏻

[hollow sandal]

Noooo 😭

[proper nimbus]

Wait don't tell me they killed the weapon wheel

[hollow sandal]

Nah horde just told me that the option to customize it isn't available

[earnest swift]

Not entirely convinced it’s partly a honeymoon thing.

[proper nimbus]

Eh that's fine I personally never customized it

[earnest swift]

It probably helps I’m not getting to this immediately upon launch.

[mossy flicker]

Guys lmk if anyone hears about the performance of this game on series s

[hollow sandal]

Me neither , but this time the weapons aren't convention, you know?

[dark thunder]

gman lives just said the wildest thing about the game

[plain iron]

I HATE REDDIT

[dark thunder]

bro said it will be "the black sheep" of the community and replace doom 3

[hollow sandal]

You Got spoiled? 😭

[earnest swift]

I expect it to be great but I get the suspicion it will be substantially less focused than "Eternal" was and not that replay-friendly.

[proper nimbus]

In other news grass is green

[plain iron]

NO I SAW THAT MAYKR THAT HAD THE BROKEN ORDATOR RING.

HE IS. DIVINE.

I need to sit down

[tribal patrol]

final boss imo might be cuthulu or that demon guy

[echo latch]

Really?

[proud cloud]

ign dropped the trailer for dtda

we got a grenade launcher now

[dark thunder]

yeah and he didn't like the soundtrack he's just too infatuated with gordon

[plain iron]

If he ends up being a fucking side character I'll fucking end someone's entire career.

[delicate grotto]

That’s very interesting. I can see it being true though. TDA looks like a very different game compared to anything else in the franchise. I’m here for it though.

[lavish otter]

hype

[dark thunder]

saying it will replace 3 though is WILD

[plain iron]

On all fours going feral and barking

[delicate grotto]

I wouldn’t use the term in a bad light. Doom 3 is fantastic imo.

[dark thunder]

game looks nowhere near that kind of notoriety

[lament venture]

Gotcha , enjoyed your vid , I’ve subbed and liked !

Is the hardest difficulty challenging ?

[dark thunder]

gman is controversial anyways when he said that sigil review was bad ppl went nuts

[tulip canyon]

Doom 3 is the first doom game ever played.

[silent surge]

huh?

[weary current]

does anyone customize the weapon wheel anymore

[midnight wolf]

i started with eternal x.x

[sharp jungle]

started with 1993

[plain iron]

THE. THE GUY WITH A BROKEN HALO.

[midnight wolf]

at this point pretty much everyone just has keybinds for all the guns

[sharp jungle]

I did when I played

[delicate grotto]

Same
Played the shitty ports of the classics included with the game too. Got me into the franchise.

[tribal patrol]

i cant wait to see why doom guy lost his helmet in the trailer, he finally got his ass kicked?

[weary current]

i feel like you're going on like a broken record rn, but that ain't a bad thing lmao

[midnight wolf]

yeahh im wondering abt that too

[plain iron]

I'm freaking out very much.

The dude is another unique maykr form

I'm a maykr fan I've been starved for too long.

[weary current]

auto pre-download starts for me on ps5 tomorrow, let's gooooo

[tropic adder]

I just wanna know if I was right or I stressed over nothing for 6 months. Literally a yes or no answer. That, so I could wait for the game in peace, thank you.

[plain iron]

THE NAMES FOR THE TRACKS ARE ON SPOTIFY.

I CAN FINALLY TALK ABT IT.

[tribal patrol]

i hope they explain it good enough, because if slayer can beat davoth then idk how he'd almost lose to the other guy

[weary current]

do NOT spoil the track names, please

[plain iron]

[midnight wolf]

yeah

theres prob smt reasonable tho

[tribal patrol]

maybe pre-divinity machine slayer

[snow hinge]

Just waiting for FM to put it up on Qobuz so I can buy it

[plain iron]

This is post divinity.

[meager vortex]

offical launch trailer

[tulip canyon]

Future DLC we could play as Night Sentinel.

[snow hinge]

I really love how less electronic it is compared to 2016 and Eternal's

[warm ibex]

definitely don't spoil yourself. there's a lot of very big surprises that catch you off guard, you'll want to go in blind

[tribal patrol]

really? well i guess that makes sense considering the yellow eyes although that might just be the maykr control

[plain iron]

I didn't take my meds that's why I'm like this.

[plain iron]

It is the mind control, but the reason why he's being mind controlled is due to the divinity machine's blessing.

[sharp jungle]

hope we get more insight into like doomguy's mind if that makes sense
Like give him personality

[mossy flicker]

Tyler mciver said that Id and the trailers and gameplay that they showed made the game seem super easy and slow
But he said the game is just as frantic and chaotic as doom eternal in reality and is super fast even without touching sliders

[sharp jungle]

although I won't play it it'd be nice to know

[tribal patrol]

thank god

[safe ice]

I mean this has happened before with doom eternal so I cant say Im surprised

[weary current]

kinda figured this out from the gameplay shown off from the demos in march

[spare panther]

@warm ibex sorry for the ping but does the game have all the tutorialization and short cutaway things like eternal?

[snow hinge]

That's about what I was expecting. No surprises there imo

[mossy flicker]

It seems a little overwhelming and I’m here for it

[astral ravine]

damn

I recognize one of the new guns

that's literally ||the serious sam gun||

[hard thistle]

they also have sirian werebulls as pinkies

[echo latch]

did you get the game early? what do you think of it?

[astral ravine]

I love the serious sam homages

[snow hinge]

Yes and Horde has a review on his channel

[snow hinge]

@echo latch

[warm ibex]

it does have some tutorials, but they're all in-mission and natural. That's one of the biggest changes from eternal to TDA. nearly everything about it feels natural

[regal osprey]

Dang already getting great reviews. No review embargo for this legendary game.

[dark thunder]

how can anyone hate the soundtrack for this wtf

[astral ravine]

doom fans eating so good in this era

[lament grove]

Running home rn collectors edition is waiting for mee

[spare panther]

Thats super good to know, thanks dude

[tribal patrol]

greatest revival of a series i ever seen

[astral ravine]

now we need duke nukem

[snow hinge]

I can't really tell from the gameplay videos, are you able to dodge side to side and backwards? It kinda looks like you can but it's hard to tell

[mossy flicker]

A critism I keep seeing is all the demons have super repetitive moves and get super boring to fight 1v1

[regal osprey]

And Caleb

[mossy flicker]

Your forced to fight them one way and they have like 2 moves

[tribal patrol]

i can see that happening, but with the amount of jumping, running and switching between enemies maybe its not so bad

[delicate grotto]

Just like 2016 and Eternal, I think TDA is going to be too different to compare entirely. There’s going to be things it does better than its predecessors and things it does worse. General consensus is that the game is good, and that’s all that matters to me. Can’t wait to play it.

[mossy flicker]

This complaint was only for the doom Hunter and the cyber demon
As ur forced to fight them 1v1 after all enemies are done bc they have such a high health pool

[astral ravine]

the big question is will we actually have really fun boss fight now.
alot of doom boss fights aren't fun tbh

[tribal patrol]

ohh, yeah thats true

[astral ravine]

also I doubt we'd have a marauder tier enemy here

[tribal patrol]

same here

[stoic sleet]

So has this review been released yet?

[mossy flicker]

Cyber demons you have to fight close and they’ll only ever spam a stomp or slash that you need to parry

[warm ibex]

that's not true at all and I have a hard time seeing people actually saying that

unless you're referring to super heavies only

[quick drum]

Do any of you know why the discord quest won't show for me. Sorry if its a bit offtopic.

[delicate grotto]

Bugged

[mossy flicker]

It was the cyber demon and the doom hunter that was complained about

[warm ibex]

well that's not "all the demons" lol!

[mossy flicker]

Yeah I could have worded it differently

[lusty delta]

Redditors are whining

[mossy flicker]

How so

[tropic adder]

Let the heavens hear their cries.

[snow hinge]

lol what does the supreme voice of r/DOOM have to say

[mental grotto]

When do redditors NOT whine

[plain iron]

I saw my new wife on r/doom [new maykr form] and so I'm happy

[half plaza]

nine inch nail reference

[merry sapphire]

watched tyler's review of the game i actually cant wait for this This looks so good man
