ok so almost every, i dont have the rpgs and im not very interested in those
all the concept art and shit is so rad
Carmack made doom rpg
love revamped 1993 slayer
i saw people hating on dark ages but it looks really good
I enjoyed RPG and RPG 2. The sequel is a bit silly, but the bosses and bestiary are nice. Wolfenstein RPG was maybe the best of the 3 tho...
opinions cant be wrong... but that one is tda is peak
anyone who says this game aint good is just wrong
does anyone have a high quality png of a dark ages demon
i gotchu
how much hours do you all have on it so far
dms?
yes plz
4.7
I love doom 3
Kinda funny how doom got another uber successful game and halo is still floundering around trying to figuring out what to do in the 2020’s
the revenant is probably my favourite demon
i hate the arachnotron in this game it just spams shots at you until you get close to it
The visual bugs and stutters on 6gb of Vram are crazy ngl
I need to upgrade this shit asap 😭
the vagary is really fun to fight and he looks cool
I've temporarily settled on running the game at 1080p in borderless window mode and setting my desktop background to black. So the same pixel density as my monitor, just a smaller screen for the game
oh also the soundtrack is so good
How can I replay a previous chapter in pandemonium difficulty?
ive been waiting for the album to come out on spotify LMAO

steam update
crashes at launch are a known issue and they're working on it, very cool
How do I activate my premium edition stuff
Someone let me know when the dark ages is playable in est time zone
Should be in an email
you should have it already if you got the premium edition
Gonna restart the game
may 14th, 8pm est
Yeah my premium edition stuff isn’t showing I can play the game and have the divinity skins but the void and art book isn’t showing
Check your email
Kinda loving it so far around
i have same problem but have nothing
You should get a code from bethesda gear. You redeem like you did the steam code.
PM????!!?!!!
yes
code?
darn
it's available now if you pay for the premium edition lol
Like a steam code, or it could be something else for ps and xbox users
Thanks
and it will give me all my premium stuffs?
I... do not have an emailk
Yeah, void slayer skin, artbook, that stuff
I have the confirmation email from Steam for buying prem edition - but no specific Bethesda email to activate it
k thanks guys
Mine came the 12th so make sure you check a couple days ago
What are good quality settings for the game, I have everything on UN and it looks weird and blurry
Turn off motion blur
I don’t know why games keep having them on as defualt but motion blur is likely causing the bluriness
i played the game for like 5 hours haven't even touched the graphics option and the game is running pretty good
Can you show me a sample of the email? (make sure to cross out anything necessary)
send it to dms
I already have that off
I turned on DLSS and it looks a bit better, it looks amazing at 4k but Im getting like 30 fps so Ill stick with 1440p
Question!
Listening to a bit of the music, that breakdown in From The Ashes is fucking nuts
Doom Eternal too hard for everyone? Ignore the voices in my head. Playing Dark Ages right now. Not going to say anything. I like Doom Eternal.
Hmmm, not sure what it could be then, I’d reccomend fiddling around with settings, maybe lower some things if you’re only getting 30
I see they're working on fixing the crash issues
Will you still get the stuff from preorder premium edition if you upgrade to premium edition after it comes out? Cuz I preordered standard
only other thing I could think of it being is dynamic resolution
Doom Eternal is too hardcore for everyone lol. Laughing at Part 2 and Part 3 to Doom Eternal.
?
i just got a update for the game?
automatically lowering the resolution basically
yep me too, probably a hotfix for the crashes and stuff
or the driver issue
doom and "too hardcore" in the same sentence
with everything on UN I was getting 30 fps at 4k resolution, which is insane considering I run a 3080 which got over 150 fps on eternal
If you guys link all 3 games together later on I hope its like Doom Eternal gameplay. Or make each game unique. Talking about Wolfenstein and Quake in same story. Never played Quake.
It’s relevant for "Eternal" tbh.
yeah fosho
I’d reccomend turning it down.I have a 3070 and could run eternal on max. But right now I run tda on medium and get a consistant 60. I might go higher to test it out. But tda is a lot more graphically impressive and big than eternal so running it at max is gonna take a lot more power.
i did not recieve a email with a code have they just started sending these out?
how did yall get the avatar decoration 😭
update changed the pop up that appears on launch, basically saying they know about the driver issues and they're working on a fix
i wanted that aswell lol
Should have gone out a couple days ago with the extra content
I know Doom Eternal Part One and Part Two were like wtf for everyone.
So I got the void skin but still can’t see the artbook and soundtrack
hm
i've killed a few arachnotrons but i haven't gotten their codex entry?
This game slaps
man im not eligible for the quest thats unfortunate
that's been a thing unfortunately for many people
All these PC issues I see people having is making me glad I swapped to console gaming. I have no issues on the S box.
i've been playing on pc without issues so far
i guess i will have to reach out because no email so far 😩
Is this a bug? Why isn't the game giving me the arachnotron codex entry?
But no mods
i'm only on chapter 10 tho
i'm on chapter 6
I’m ok with that
unless it's for some reason found as a physical collectible in the world i don't get why the game isn't giving me the arachnotron codex entry
If I had to pick which character Im like in the storyline... with Wolfenstein (spy BJ) or Quake (dont know story), or Doom Slayer. Im Doom Slayer. Always running on turbo mode never talks really? He ever takes his helmet off to show his face?
or are arachnotrons straight up missing a codex entry
ive got one
How easy is dark ages? On each difficulty
as easy as you want it to be
easier than eternal, bump it up by one difficulty setting
well you can customize your difficulties, so it really depends
i miss 2016 online
Without changing anything so just base settings
Wow this game runs amazing at 640x480p with 0.50 render resolution
Idk if it’s js me but im tryna platinum the game but im missing one trophy but I legit did it so idk ✌️💔
getting a solid 160-180fps 💀
Someone currently doing 100% and in chapter 8/9? (Or maybe even 7...)
each difficulty pretty much only adds more enemy damage to my knowledge
I wanna know has anyone ever played DOM:DTA on MacBook 💻?
Okay
not aggression?
that too
Are sigils part of the end of the chapter 100% collection criteria?
Curious to try it out. I don't mind a bit of low res.
Okay now I've got it at 480p + ultra performance FSR + framegen and it's getting 300ish fps
I did a level and got 99%, apparently missed one gold piece running too fast. I did the whole level over to get that one gold piece
just so you know after you get the gold piece you can back out to the menu, you don't have to finish the mission
I honestly wasn't sure if I could do that lol
Come on man, you need to run it at 128x64.
because I didn't want to re-re-run it because back to menu doesn't save
this is the lowest that the game has as an option
It's Doom the Dark Ages for nintendo DS
Doom The DS Ages.
So I'm playing on Xbox series x and my game crashes every five minutes does anyone have any recommendations?
The funny thing is that you don't even notice framgen artifacts because it already looks like that 24/7
Interesting. I'll be testing the settings, and will lower res if I have to plus other settings. Keen to just try it out.
10/10 ragebait, but have your opinion.
Will my 9900k+3080 play this game or is the 10th gen a requirement
So how do you guys deal with the hitscanners? I know you can block and approach or sometimes stun them with the shield etc. but i feel like it's almost impossible not to tank a few bullets.
Especially the chaingunner. You need to let go of your shield to be able heat up his shield. He always sneaks in some shots. Is there a reliable way to no-hit those enemies without hiding?
I like all of three. Tho I dislike that shield block do not prevent/cancel weapon swap. There is also force weapon swap after ammo ended which can end you up dead. ||and music of course, no impact from heavy hits/shots because it's constant riffs in place of syncopated djenty things without weird time signatures||
It might just be me, but the crashes got worse after the game updated.
Best to wait for the day 1 patch, yeah?
And thus, the doom division begins again.
I'm a sucker for the style TDA is going for tbh
It might not be better, it's that its different.
My doom is still not out yet
People who have premium edition have it already
Oh not early access ?
isn’t that just an option you can turn off in settings? i’m pretty sure
ye, im pretty sure it is
Yes indeed it is
-# Might also be a hot take, but I'm much preferring the look of TDA's gameplay (though, I haven't played it yet, so we'll see). I didn't really like Eternal at all.
Still block do not cancel animation which is feels awkward a bit with max speed/short windows etc.
I love the gameplay loop of dark ages
that’s true, i’ve kind of felt the same issue, but not the point that it’s really bothering me
There should also be a way to better switch between weapon versions without having to switch to the other obe first
that would be ideal
Ayou eyy ay
I was really not into buying TDA because of soundtrack I listened on YT, I did bought, the game becomes better and better every new chapter. Better enough to stop care about soundtrack part. Probably best of all 3 'new doom's' in terms of gameplay.
Tho now I soft locked with 99% achievement and devastated because 11h ingame. 
i persoanly feel like dark ages combat is way more fun, id get bored wit eternals and 2016's after a bit, i feel i could actually play an endless mode on dark ages and not get bored
Do yall think there could be a post-launch horde mode?
im praying for this
only problem I had with the gameplay really is it felt like it had the 2016 issue of once you get the ssg its gg for the other guns, maybe using other weapons more is more useful on higher difficulties but most of them I hardly used at all to the point I didnt even bother upgrading them
(I haven't completed the game)
eh tbh i never played multiplayer, i just want horde mode
Idk if this is a hot take, but no multi-player is better tbh
(i dont mean i never tried it i just didnt like it much)
I upgraded the ssg, the shield, a little bit of melee, and thats about it
The Doom 2 modding multiplayer scene has been the only multiplayer in Doom worth playing.
More time spent on other features, like the atlan, and dragon
I'd be down for somes coop. throwback to my zdaemon/skulltag days
Complex Doom Co-Op is absolute bonkers.
are you counting the two dlcs into eternal’s campaign, cos i don’t get how it has a longer campaign otherwise? dark ages has 22 chapters against the 14 levels in eternal 🤔 some are shorter for sure, but i still doubt it’s going to be shorter on the whole
is it just me or is the ID intro logo when you boot up the game absolutely loud as fuck
literally nearly breaks my ears everytime
all the other logo sounds are normal and then the id one is just earrape
moist critical confirmed he has a high end pc
who woulda imagined
the album is out
cant wait until i beat the game so that i can finally watch youtube videos of it
The soundtrack is out for me
on spotify?
Just finished the game
Holy shit, probably the best game out of the 3, manages to be extremely fast without undermining doom eternal
Diddy blud
Ts pmo
sybau
Is the final boss good
I'm not saying anything directly
But all the bosses are extremely good, better than anything we've seen in the series
Not giving exact details, but its a trillion times better than the dark lord
much more creative too
Hey guys there is a new doom game called the dark ages
wait fr?
TDA might be faster than eternal
I thought the, doom guy was dead. I killed him. My oc is “Doomguyandgokukiller”
My only issues are, if you dont look for secrets, the game goes by wayyy too fast
so friggin tuff 🥀
I powered through that bitch in less than 15 hours
LOWKEY but sometimes i find all secrets but one since theyre really well hidden sometimes
Around the same playtime as eternal honestly, if you don't care for secrets
First few missions are mainly tutorials and go by super quick
I didn't even know I was in endgame until after it was over, thought I was still midgame
Leaves you wanting way more
I collected any I happened to find but didnt make an effort to get everything for my sanity cause I was into the story and wanted to see the next cutscene
Missions feel super short if you don't look for secret </3
but secret = gold
The game felt like halo, GOW, subnautica and a souls game all at once
I hope there will be master levels and content like that outside of dlc. For replayability etc
Everything I'm autistic over in one game, absolute cinema
So excited for it to be available to me tomorrow 🙏
If there's no horde mode, we riot
Environments felt like a mix between subnautica, dead space and pirates of the Caribbean
Whoever was behind art direction went off
My only issues were music related, sometimes tracks wouldn't play
But idk if they'll fix it, a lot of arenas felt empty without the right track, and some tracks aren't memorable
But the ones that were, really fit the vibe the games going for
greatest game of all time
And the campaign overall was shorter than expected, but it's partly my fault for not exploring thoroughly
But overall, TDA is the best doom experience so far
I hope the DLC goes into the lore and story even more
I mean most tracks since Doom 2 aren't memorable for me, like I can't recall them in my head and start humming them, they just aren't as catchy as in classic Doom and they don't make them like they used to.
Not once did it ever get boring
Tracks don't NEED to be memorable, a majority of the tracks are great
So question
Penguinz0 is having a meltdown about crashing, is pc struggling this much?
I just think it's day 1 issues
Him too?
Not everyone has the correct hardware, I never had any issues, consistent 70 frames on ultra settings
He had 17 crashes 
yes
I believe that might be the issue
I think he also mightve forgot to turn off present from compute, it caused crashes with streaming elements
dark ages
It crashes when I load discord overlay, so
ah nice, i prefer the lossless version from premium edition tho
I can't buy premium edition sadly
I didn’t crash once but I was on console
If you're on steam check on tools, its not next to the game itself
Critical and Gmanlives were also having a lot of freezes and crashes. Levaniel said that her copy's unplayable.
should be called digital artbook and soundtrack
Might be a pc thing then
It’s also early access so I imagine launch won’t have these issues
it should be in the soundtracks filter
Ah, gotchu
I won't lie, as much as I defended finishing move, I don't think it's at micks level
For me it performongo. As well as doom eternal even
But it's unfair to compare them, finishing move did an amazing job, but preferably i like 2016 and eternal just a bit more
Amazing performance
Yeah, I've not heard any complaints about the console versions.
Well ofc console works perfectly
It performs super well on console like REALLY GOOD
Every console has the same specs, pcs do not
yo guys, there is slow motion when you hold down throw shield key. I seen upgrades for weapons that require you slow-mo, so something tells me there is some other source of slow-mo? Or just weird wording.
Except for BonJoviFan. 🤣
Ya just hold r
Its like toggling the weapon wheel except on purpose
I don't know what R is for you. 
Throw shield button, just hold that
Your shield throw button
Ye, but there is guns upgrade that do work during slow mo. Which is confusing.
Hold it and it will slow things down
Oh. Right, i missed the part you can shoot during that. Thanks.
GooN The C○○M Ages
Its not that useful, honestly :/
^^^
It could be if there would be some small slow-mo window when you shield up, when game is maxed in difficulty.
What difficulty did u guys pick for dark ages?
Knuffy nightmare is have to mode
Hurt me plenty to start and I’ll move up the better I get
I tried nightmare but I was tired so I went ultra violence
based
If you are skilled, go with UV, best difficulty for mastering the game
Well since it’s brand new game with new mechanics I’m trying ultra-violence for my first playthrough
I was on the road to beating UN on doom eternal and ultra violence is kicking my ass. Definitely start with UV if you were good at eternal
You could also just do nightmare and make that parry window big
And I beat UN on 2016 and ETERNAL and dark ages kicked my ass
i headbutted straight into nightmare lol
i just checked steam and dark ages had an update, what did it include?
I don't wannaaa change settings for UN
It's not easier than eternal i would say
any bug fixes?
the parry window seems kinda big on nightmare already ngl
They should lock difficulty sliders on UN, i think it's a bit cheating to allow it

Are they not locked? Tf lmao
Nah, mostly free range i believe
Fat-ah mf
Honestly… IMO I think the only thing that should be allowed to be changed is the parry window
Because parrying can be a bitch….ESPECIALLY WITH COSMIC BARONS OMG
I kinda regret watching all the gameplay and trailers before the game came out, I knew of everything going in, there's was only 1 new enemy that I didn't expect to see
Komodo and aggadon are harder imo
Also wasn't there supposed to be like, a beach level?
so i have played a mech section and dragon. I like them a lot, not sure why reviews dont like them
My new fav enemy in doom series
Like a D-Day type level, I did not see it anywhere, idk if it was cut
Idk either, loving hearing that booster sound before drifting around and landing on a ship
yeah it was chapter 2 or 4 it was a beach with a titan and you get on a turret
They are lacking, but it works great for doom
Dragon is so cool
Oooh yea u right,
He’s dah best boi
I can only assume it was because they were expecting the same level of depth as the main gameplay loop.
The combat is just a bit too simple in those sections.
Dragon feels slightly slow but it's fun, mech gameplay feels basic but it's a fun pace breaker
We need an emoji of serrats face
Anyone know what all of the redeemable slayer skins are and maybe how to get them? I know divinity is premium, void is preorder bonus, executioner is from the controller, verdent is Nvidia, guardian is Twitch, and then there's one for the GPU bundle too. Are there any that I'm missing?
its a nice popcorn munch spectacal and a nice breather from the ass clenching sweat fest that is the main game
There's a ranger skin if you buy from a specific pizza place in New york
and CA
and toronto
and i think miami
Pizza oh pizza!
Oh well I can't afford to drive there
I love dumb mechs and monster fights.
Eat all the pizza and get a doom skin
ive reached out to a few folks i know to see will they buy a pizza slice they think im trying to scam them
I loved this game
like ive mega fomo for this skin
Can’t wait to play the dlc when it comes out
I got spoiled for possibly the best moment in the game
Bitch how u post an image in the server
What if the dlc isn't as dark as the dark ages?
dont you pass on your trauma to this chat
If mods will be a thing we can probably just switch them? And if its entirely single player i mean
A shame. Most of the locations are in California lol
tracking projectiles are so stupid
Oh ur a mod duh ☠️
block bro
no shit
You control the buttons you press
Doom The Block Ages
do this on 150%
You stand and fight
I only wish we see more classic enemies return
9000 projectiles a second
ups the slider to 150% difficult, complains its too hard i dont understand people sometimes
I am missing the pain elemental and some big barons
its a must
Beginners bullet hell
then literally stop complaining about your self imposed difficulty
I want the D64 pain elemental, a giant fatass meatball that spits out lost souls
where can i find patch notes?
hey guys, why is there no sword? kinda of seems like a no brainer
There's 3 melee options and 1 superweapon, why do you need a sword
Dude I can’t believe finishing move didn’t remove the awkward pauses in Unchained Predator and Infernal Chasm 🤦. Time to remix
Anybody who lives close to a Prince St. Pizza location looking to sell me a code 💀
What happened to the voice channels on this server? I remember waiting out here for 12 AM to hit on DOOM Eternal release...
Plus there's 2 whole games hyping up the sword, it's best to keep it in eternal and leave it as that
Hugo where is my sword?
me and you kid
frfr
I wish we could've seen the demonic crucible, we get hints of it but that's it
no one in the team really thought to pair the shield with a sword? do you even medieval bro
petition it for DLC
Flail goes hard
Doom The Sword Ages
I would like a... sinister weapon...
im at chapter 18 i really don't want it to end
The dreadmace is the best melee
Swords, they just work. It just works.
Hugo, I except a sword in the dlc, no excuse
hammer even better
People will literally eat up anything id throws at them, if I've already got a skin on my Slayer, I'm not worried about some pizza place giveaway or some NVIDIA giveaway, I mean they hardly look unique.
I mean, would you wnana see doomslayer SLAP a sword in TDA instead of locking into a synced kill
..yes? xD
It won't be able to stab or slice, just slap
hey is anyone noticing the music cutting out during dialogue? doesn't seem intentional to me and gets really annoying
wondering if it was just a me thing
and it has to be a Greatsword, swing with one arm of course
can u buy a slice to the get the skin or need whole pizza?
Also the glory kill rework is the best part of the game, the game wouldn't work with the old system
I asked a friend in New York to see would he get a pizza for me
30 mile walk he essentially told me fuck off
the rocket launcher self heal is so op
Just put in the Moonlight Greatsword so the Slayer can smite and slice the demons with holy damage.
super shotgun is even stronger then ever
Storywise it makes sense too since the doom guy is supposedly weaker in this game
so I guess canonically the slayer is very weak but very competent, it he dies in 2-3 hits on UN let's say is the canonical difficulty
I wouldn't say weaker, just less skilled
You’d think we would get to see how the crucible blade ended up in that titan seen in Taras Nabad
Its probably the MOST powerful we've seen him so far, in terms of gameplay
Nah, that takes place way before TDA
Shoulda made the game set at that time
DOOM The Stone Ages LFG
It would be very disjointed
That's like, DIRECTLY after the divinity machine
Doom The Primal Ages
I was hoping the beginning of TDA would be doom guy stepping out of the divinity machine
Think of it as a new player playing chronologically, imagine seeing the divinity machine, then playing eternal and seeing it explained ALL OVER AGAIN
Most Underrated Far Cry game imo.
Missed opportunity tbh
We still haven't seen a majority of the codex and slayer testament events happen yet
playing it atm about 60% through. Nice game for a 10-15min blast which is about all i have time for atm as a dad. Very fun feedback loop, i love taking out camps with the owl and bearsts like a recon drone
Nah, if you read codex's that would be the worst part to start
Narratively, it would be a jumbled mess, and it would make eternal even more complicated
It would make at least 5 cutscenes irrelevant
This makes me think the fact they didn’t adapt it means all future doom games are gonna be prequels
I mainly like the neolithic setting, it's limited but it's beautiful how much nature is present, plus seeing extinct animals is interesting. Riding mammals is a blast for me.
They are leaving it open for future dark ages stories
They aren't ending it with the sarcophagus
I found it quite moving the opening scene like made me feel a lot of sadness for how harsh life was for our ancestors. Like we complain about such trvial shit compared to a sabretooth attacking your straw hut
For a gaming franchise it's best to leave things open ended for future stories, either it be games, comics,
6 MIN
The slayers saga is technically complete now
We don't need any future entries except for DLC, the story is full circle now
Yeah like dealing with a cave bear that can reach a high rock with people on it while standing up. Shits scary.
You could play from TDA to Eternal and have a cohesive narrative (mostly)
biggest whiplash ever was 2016 to DE
where'd bro get the sky fortress
that could be its own game
The sentinels were vaguely hinted at in 2016s story, and even more so in codex
like tbh you could make a game at anytime because its only over th4 course of a few hours / days for slayer
The only hints we're the sentinel ghosts, argent d'nur (which doesn't even look like sentinel architecture anymore) and the wraiths
And the rest were codex's and slayer testaments
Then by eternal, we had the sentinel ship, mountains of lore
And cutscenes with context that doesn't even exist yet
can i just say also thank you chat for calming down since the delays yesterday, that was very rough
The dark ages has made it a bit better, now knowing the full picture, you can connect things easier now
Its still convoluted but so much better now
Unless for some stupid reason it's found in the world instead of by killing them I think I've found a bug
The game refuses to give me the arachnotron codex entry
Reminds me of the kalibas codex
Which for some reason doesn't exist, but the game still grants you the entry
Regardless of how good graphics are
The arachnotron has to have an entry here right? It would be weird for a regular enemy not to have one
Id software feels like an indie game studio with like, an insane budget and team
Instead of a triple A studio
it feels like they are still given a lot of freedom and trusted to deliver
They always deliver
unless someone forgot to wrote the arachnotron codex entry
They never once made a bad doom game so far
Except maybe DOOM VFR, but idk if it was the same team
Or mighty doom, but it's not bad just, not doom :/
Idk which branch made those games
i wanna read about the arachnotron but the game just won't give me the arachnotron entry no matter how many arachnotrons i kill
Bro its midnight, why cant I play the new doom
Yeah but we still don’t know the connection between the 90s Doom games and Doom 3 to the slayer
Yea we do
The doomslayer is the same protagonist from DOOM 1993, DOOM 2, & DOOM 64
DOOM 3 is a different marine, just human, there are 3 marines and non of them are connected to the doomslayer
We know that much, but we don’t know how he got from those games to the night sentinels
Yea we do, it's stated he entered sentinel prime from a portal originating from hell
After killing the mother demons sister in D64 lost levels
yo
He remained in hell for an undetermined amount of time, which he entered the sentinels dimension
dark ages in 2 hours WOOOO
There he was trained in the sentinel arts and became the slayer after the divinity machine
In Doom 2016, the soul cube from Doom 3 can be seen in Olivia’s office, so it’s clearly part of the continuity
Doom 3 is not technically canon to modern dooms timeline, but it exists within the same multiverse / hell
It could be argued DOOM 3 takes place before 2016, but there's no concrete evidence yet
There are countless references
Also it's on the slayers desk in eternal, no idea how he retrieved that
I doubt it's important sadly
Unfortunately rn I think the game is in a currently unplayable state for my pc. I was doing ok on frame gen getting ~50-60fps but at this part of the game I'm randomly getting sub 30fps and massive slow down. Hoping they'll send out some optimization patches within the next few weeks :/
Doom 3 is still canon, just might not be the same timeline or even important to the doom lore right now
He must’ve went back to the UAC mars facility at some point to retrieve it
Yeah, it's in Olivia’s office lmao
He was transported to some unknown location and remained unseen for 15 straight years
She's just a girl ig
So who knows tbh, he could've
Idk what took the doomslayer 15 years to get his act together
Took his sweet ass time making new armor and a combat shotgun
Yeah wtf happened between 2016 and eternal
There was gonna be a comic but who knows
Hugo hasn't said anything since like 2021 I think, I HOPE WE SEE IT
Why do they keep making these games set so far away from each other I have so many questions 😭
I don't think we need a whole game explaining it tho, I think a novel or something like that would be great
Yeah that would do
Unsure what you mean tbh. I think that Doom 1, 2, and 64 happen fairly consecutively and then Eternal is set not too long after 2016 I don't think
Doom 1 and 2 are almost right after eachother, DOOM 64 is possibly a few years
Between D64 and TDA, could've been years between games, training takes hella long time plus developing tech based around the slayer
between TDA and 2016 is literal eons
Millenia apart
Those first 3 games happen close to each other but 2016, eternal, and TDA are all set really far away from each other
Sentinels are the descendant of modern earth humans in doom lore so who knows how many thousands of generations it could've taken to reach 2145
If you bought premium for Doom The Dark Ages on Steam:
Search for DOOM in your library, and there's a separate download for the artbook and soundtrack under tools
I didn't think that Eternal was set too far off from 2016 but I'm sure that I'm wrong lol. It's been awhile since I played Eternal
Then it's a 15 year gap between 2016 and eternal
Not a long time for the slayer but A HELLA LONG TIME FOR HUMANS
I really enjoy this gameplay, honestly prefer to 2016 so far.
Thanks bro fr. I had no clue where they were and just assumed that they would be available on release lol
I can't rank these games, tbh all of them are tier
Music is good, but it's not impressing me as much as Mick's work... of course. I so far think I might prefer it to the TAG stuff
TDA, Eternal and 2016 are extremely high in terms of favorability
I can't rank them apart from eachother since they offer completely different things
2016 is the most grounded and rounded out version of doom, it's the definitive doom game
Not DEFINITIVELY saying I prefer it to 2016 yet, but I really enjoy this new gameplay. It's like classic DOOM mixed with FromSoft
Eternal has the best movement combat, best game to play to jump in and have fun
TDA offers something extremely different but also still extremely fun
Tbh TDA felt like a wolfenstein game
Definitive DOOM is Classic. I really enjoy 2016, but when compared to what makes Classic DOOM, 3, Eternal, and The Dark Ages all stand out uniquely - it just sticks out like a sore thumb.
Well, he did utter the word "comics" during yesterday's stream.
I love 2016 dgmw. It has the best soundtrack of all the games, imo.
Like story wise, felt like a machine games wolfenstein game with the pacing
I don't mean gameplay wise, wolfenstein is completely different
Fine, definitive MODERN doom 🙄
i really like tda combat, i'm not sure it'll keep me playing as long as eternal did. But I'm not too far in yet, and i feel like there's some meta strategies to learn that'll keep me interested
Facts. I hope they do some Master Level content with this game as well
There are some animation canceling apparently
I got into dark ages combat loop immediately, clicked almost instantly
Not as much as eternal tho
Yeah the TDA’s soundtrack is good the style of music doesn’t feel as distinct as Gordon and Hulshult
I don't think mick (if he made it the same way as 2016 or eternal) if he made the OST again, it would fit TDA
Maybe if he did a different take, but honestly it mightve been something similar to what we got
Before I saw the trailer I was worried they would just do Eternal’s gameplay but faster with another system slapped on top of it on steroids
Remember ID is the ones guiding them when they make the OST, they define what it sounds like
I don't know, there were some TDA elements in Eternal with the medieval genre influence + sentinel maps, but the Industrial and Electronic elements would definitely be repressed this go around
I like the strings and the guitar riffs
But it is missing something and I can't put my finger on it, not synths but something else
this game is peak i cant lie
It felt a little short imo, but that's only due to me powering through it and avoiding every secret
the super shotgun is too busted
Did it in less than 15 hours, and some of that playtime was replaying the game up to like chapter 5
So honestly, you could beat the game in like, 13 hours???
Also 100% go exploring, without it you won't be able to upgrade literally anything
And you'll be severely underpowered
You'll still be a force of nature but it'll kick your ass if you are playing any high difficulty
I just like finding the toys so I can use em for art references 😭
Draw fatass kreed
I will lmao
Also they did my boy valen dirty
Him and his twink assistant that is just horizontal Samur. copium
Barely any screen time or relevance 😔
I am glad we didn't see the khan makyr, or Samuel, or vega in any form
I'm not.
Like sure I love them but it would've ruined the continuity of the lore
Well. We saw samur technically. Now that the games out, I can say this. The kreed's VA is Samur's VA
And narratively it would be a bit off, I am glad to see the characters we got to see
A lot of VA's were reused,
where does dark ages fit into the timeline?
After 64, before 2016.
Idk if it's just me, but the slayers suit sounds awfully a lot like vega
I think it’s also the fact Mic Gordon went above and beyond when it came to producing the right kind of sound. Things like recording a chainsaw, using a full blown choir, and working in references to the original doom tracks elevated his music from being generic heavy metal
He do tho
Yea there were like 0 track referenfes
Except for like 1 in I think infernal?
There was a doom 1 track reference i forgot which track, but that's all I hear
... did he use a actual chainsaw or was it the chainsaw tone? Those are two distinct things
Actual chainsaw
I don't think he used a direct chainsaw
He used the chainsaw SFX from doom 1, he didn't buy a chainsaw
That's what I'm saying. There's a thing in metal called the chainsaw tone, which is made via the guitar itself
He basically sampled it and used it for the guitar distortion
Think like. Pantera or smthn
He used the same effect with a lawnmower and other appliances
Idk what exact technique he used but he has a lot of behind the scenes and videos explaining his work
He also did the same things for wolfenstein if I'm not correct, it sounds extremely similar
You can hear the wolfenstein new order in 2016's OST
someone earlier was saying they were bothered that you had to class swap weapons with an extra button press and couldn’t have a key for like shotgun and ssg. just putting two key bindings seems to solve this for me at least on mouse and keyboard
I mean, it's basically like swapping weapon mods, it functions basically the same way
Except you can just press the weapon class twice and it'll automatically swap
And that's how it worked in classic doom to an extent, pressing the shotgun class bind twice would switch from SSG to normal
Or fist to chainsaw, same system just reworked slightly
yeah, this was for the case of treating them as separate weapons
not an issue really, rather just something they might prefer🤷🏻
I know everyone in here is a fan of Doom to some degree but putting that aside is this one worth it? I know its partially opinion based but I’m genuinely interested in knowing if this one is something to pay full price for.
I have the theory is the modern day doom slayer will come back and that there will be a sequel to doom eternal because in doom dark ages it shows the slayer dying and slowly turning into a zombie but just in time the sentinels brought back the slayer from the dead and the funny thing is the casket that they revived him looks an Offal lot like the casket that the slayer was Kaye’s to rest in at the end of doom eternal ancient gods part 2.
Its worth the money
Maybe not 3 grand for a gpu and game code, but worth the base price
I’ve been a huge fan of doom for a long time, this is the first one I’ve been on the fence about
Wow dude, spoilers much
I've already played it but dude
Hey it’s just a theory a game theory
if you're planning to 100% it then it's absolutely worth it
Keep that in the spoilers only channel
Again theory not actually known
Vrother at least put || over it
Like ||spoiler example||, some people haven't played the game yet
yo thanks for the help earlier, i checked some steam and reddit forums and a product code was in my email, i locked that in and now i have my pre order bonuses
Yeah the fact he was sealed in a coffin in TAG2 that resembled the one in 2016 implied to me this was a routine thing
Its the same one from 2016 and TAG 2
Yeah absolutely if I bought it I would play the game until there was nothing more to do
did anyone else have an issue with crashing and just needed to install windows update?
Also doom dark ages is a w game haven’t played it but scene all the cut scenes
Seen*
I just properly played a big chunk. My god this game kicks ass. I adore it. Luckily only had one AMD driver related issue, but otherwise smooth sailing.
God you just stink with nuance and measured criticism.
how did u fix this?
❌
Fundementally it's a different game.
I luckily had like, almost the exact specs for TDA so it ran like clockwork for me
The dragon part is actually really fun once you get into the movement.
Do you know what happens to the dragon
The introduction to the dragon sections was just too long,
That's like saying chocolate is better than vanilla, purely subjective
I didn't . XD My drivers timed out, I waited for my card to soft reset, and then it didn't happen again. XD
Is it cuz TDA is slower
Can you shut up? No spoilers.
I'm lowkey kinda sad a lot of early game levels are super short and mainly used for tutorials
Im kidding I would never
Its not even slower, lowkey it feels faster than eternal
You kinda did but ok :/
Yuup
Dude, base slayer in TDA feels miles faster than maxed Eternal slayer
In terms of attack output yeah but movement wise eternal is faster
You are like, the most fun person I can think of. I hope you continue to live a good and prosperous life.
Movement wise, yea eternal is faster and more agile
Yeah but it was my theory and I wanted to see what people would say about it
Damn who pissed in your cereal?
The dark ages committed the cardinal sin of not being a carbon copy of the last game.
Its not a theory, it just what happens
The slayers not dead after TAG 2, so yes there's room for a sequel
Yeah but I didn’t know that
not as much as ur mom 🤯
Yo mama so stupid, she thought the dark ages was gonna be eternal 2
I'm sure eventually the more important things in his life will take precident.
Instead it’s Pacfic Rim 3
Man I remember when this server was peaceful
It depends on if you like melee focused combat and parry mechanics. If you do, you’ll probably love the game.
The Atlan and Dragon sections take away the replayability of the campaign though. Even if some of its gameplay is fun. Although I haven’t played a ton of the campaign yet, the levels I have played have had little additional content outside your basic secret. No optional challenges so far.
The bulk of the game is only a 5-10 more hours than Eternal. It’s still a great game worth the money, but I won’t lie that I’m a bit disappointed with the lack of side content despite TDA being advertised as the biggest and best Doom game yet.
Yeah im adopted and both my dads love me very much. What's it to you?
But that was a long time ago
Lmao
Who goes on a fucking doom discord and then hides behind the "I have a life" card
🤨
People who pay bills, apparently.
Damn up top ✋
Just play the games you like
You control the games you enjoy, you control the buttons you press
doom slayers so much more handsome in this game in eternal he was fugly asf
I’ll like resident evil
Hey I got that one!
I'll never stop advocating for doom innovating
Nah i live on total disability and get paid $2,000 a month for existing
No two doom games play the same, except doom 2 but even then the SSG and enemy variety are a different experience
True, lol. Idk what was going on with his face model in Eternal. Genuinely scarier than the demons.
Come on now, let's not project. I'm sure you can come up with something better.
Stop.
Guys, help please. I'm trying to log-in into bethesda.net account, but I can't. It says Bethesda.net reported an error
Lucky, I only get 800
If you won't stop, I'll make you.
Yesss. Bite the moderators hand. See what happnes. XD
Nah paralyed from the waist down from fuckin ur sister too much
The demons tryna stop u
Tbh everything in eternal was fugly
his eyes were so far apart he didnt even look human
Thank you I appreciate your detailed feedback on my question I proposed. I’m not completely sure how I will enjoy the melee focused combat but what I do know is that I wouldn’t hate it by any means. It would just be something to explore personally especially by coming from eternal for comparison with a baseline at least. Lastly thanks to all that made input on my question.
I'm not gonna lie, for as much as I love eternal and the environments, eternals graphics weren't the best
Its lacking the certain polish from 2016 and now TDA
It felt like his face was modeled that way so we could see his eyes through the visor clearly. I don’t know if the choice to make his face fully visible was in mind before finalizing his model.
Mainly character models but idk
Well those games look more polished because they aren't shooting for a poppy, classic doom visual style.
Demon designs are great tho
Eternal feels more like a rollercoaster ride than a Doom game
Guys, is there any solution?
It wasn’t graphics, it was an art direction problem cuz eternal’s models are way higher res than 2016
I like doom 2 and 64😎
I think eternals models aren't on par with the engine, it looks off to me
Like I get the visual style, but there are a lot of issues with eternal, mainly texture issues
Idk if it's a gpu issue, but it's consistent with every version I play on, including consoles
The soundtrack was a banger though
Like I see gore clipping and texture issues
Nekravol's music is some of the most metal shit I've heard
For some reason ragdolls are very bouncy and stiff and they run at a slower framerate than everything else
It’s definitely a different kind of Doom. It’s worth trying out at least! Supposedly TDA’s at its best late game.
Has anyone here played a resident evil game before
RE4. Only Resident Evil that interested me. It was a blast. Loved it.
Wholeheartedly, I believe the next doom game in like, 2030 is gonna be Japanese culture / mythology themed
Mark my words if I'm wrong, it would go so damn hard if it were true
I think it was a consequence of developing destructible demons
I love re4 too i like the remake and the og
How can i get the doom tda twitch drops?
Developing a whole new system during covid 💔
wdyd with the fire spikes from beneath on bosses? 💀
Haven’t had a chance to play the remake yet. Plan to though!
Yeah I agree, I’m sure I’ll at least give it a try as I can’t stay away honestly. What version have people bought and what would people recommend getting?
Link ur bethesda account to ur twitch, then watch an hour with dark ages content
Trust me worth the money
Sweet 
Is dark ages worth buying
I wouldn't say premium is worth it for average doom user, unless you like the bonus content
To me it is
Its already too late to utilize the 2 day early access
Wich stream? Because i watched a tda streaner for an hour but i got nothing
You should also download the free mercenaries game cuz you get to play as wesker
The dark ages gives me VERY strong God of war 2018 and ragnarok vibes
It'll pop up saying it's actve
Well the PC version is a bit of a hot mess right now… Though I’m sure it’ll be fixed soon. Lots of performance problems, crashes, etc.
The most stable version of the game are the console versions. It looks great on those platforms too. Although they definitely lack the graphical fidelity achieved by PC capabilities.
My CE shipping is delayed, fuck Canada post
Not great but I guess 24 hours early is a bit better than direct release for some people
Can you say me a keyword what can i search on twitch? Because because according to them i watched a streamer with drop unabled.
Ouch. How else to describe those than 💀
Just read that shit flinging match earlier, I guess xbox live chats never really died, they just migrated.
Idk vro, just figure it out, best advice i got
Ok, thx
I will for sure
Yeah that always seems to be a factor on newly released games on pc, so I’ll have to see what I get it on depending on if consoles graphics look completely terrible
The dark ages environments feel like a mix of subnautica, dead space, god of war and pirates of the Caribbean
My super autism loves TDA
They don’t look terrible at all. I’m on a PS5. It still looks gorgeous, but it won’t be as crisp and clean as the PC version- as with any console port.
I'm probably not even autistic I'm just so damn in love with this game
Getting some Quake vibes too.
But you’re spot on imo lol
I mean, 90% of my room is doom merch, I might need to get diagnosed
I deadass thought the zombies sounded like quake 1 zombies
Lmao
Yeah that’s understandable I may just go with console to hopefully avoid the problem on pc currently
Hopefully it’s fixed before it officially releases
But it isnt in the campains
My default settings looked like aids, my pc is strong but my default settings were all low with like 1.00 sharpening
Wdym?
dark ages looks great on my xbox, everything is so cinematic and just so, GAHDAMN pretty I love it
Doom the dark ages is like star wars for people who like doom
In the twitch drops
Except it's nothing like star wars
it really feels like a cinematic experience in the doom franchise
a summer blockbuster like the director stated.
Oh i was confused I thought you were replying to what you replied to
No I should probably just decide on what version I wanna get I know if I get the premium version it’ll only be 24 hours early as a pose to 2 days but having access to dlc whenever that may come out along with other minor things kinda push me towards premium, any input on that choice?
Sorry
I wish premium edition had more content to justify the 40$ but oh well
I ain't complaining, 2 days well spent
||"ballistic force crossbow" 💔 ||
Bio force gun
I mean, BFC 9000 would be very off for a dark age aesthetic
Or even just BFC
It gives the BFG an actual acronym that isn't "bio force gun"
BFB
Big Fucking Bow
Genuine question, is everyone having frequent crashes/freezes or is it just some of us?
||big ficking crossbow||
Big fucking crossbow
It's coming out tmrw YAAAAAAAA
Massive issue for a lot of players. It’s not just you. Very poor PC launch. Needs to be fixed asap because it’s unplayable for players with drivers that meet or exceed the minimum requirements.
Somehow this game wasn’t optimized for PC.
I would’ve never expected that from an id game. Unfortunate.
Honestly i am 1/3 through the campaign and no crashes or freezes so far
I have ryzen 5 7640hs, 32 gb ddr5 and rtx 4060 laptop model
Didn’t Eternal have similar issue at launch, though?
Like, genuine question. My memory is not too great.
Also yeah, i remember eternal crashing heavily on exultia on my part 
And cultist base was a crash fest for me as well
we getting the dlc with it
in the future
Did they say anything about master levels or smth?
As far as I remember, Denuvo was causing that issue.
TDA’s performance problems are beyond that.
"meet or exceed" is interesting.
The tech support megathread on reddit says to rollback drivers so i'm trying that.
Sad that my 2 day early access was somewhat ruined but we ball.
im actually one of the select few with no performance issues at all 💔
Yeah. I think current drivers are fucked. They’ve been fucked in general.
i was surprised so many people did
I kinda wished we could've seen the start of the civil war
Same
Or at least the discovery of nekroval being part of the makyrs plan
They left it so open ended its unreal
lets hope for the dlc or dlc's
Yes, it’s select drivers that aren’t working, even if they’re more than capable of handling the game. Rolling back won’t fix it, at least it hasn’t for 90% of the players facing this issue. Once you update them you’re essentially fucked 
Apparently there are some hotfixes by messing around with a ton of settings to get it to work well- but it’ll take you some time. It’s bullshit regardless.
Also apparently players are crashing even without updating their drivers, so it’s multiple performance issues
What gpu do you have?
well, they either fix it or they don't.
And I get the general vibe that performance issues this bad will get resolved
I’m on PS5, this is info I’ve gathered from the community and the absolute shit show that was this chat yesterday.
Oh okay
Yeah, Christ. The whole chat was nothing but aggressive bickering and basically just a shouting match.
Couldn’t even read chat most of the time.
It was pretty bad.. I could understand some of the frustration though but shit, some of the aggression wasn’t warranted. Full on threatening to dox people over it. Like tf.
Still cant figure out what the vagary champion song is on the spotify soundtrack 😔
Once I play the game I’ll try to figure it out for ya
What shortcut to skip green resurrection thing entirely?
Esc do the job, but its also opens menu
Holding it down is annoying. I know I can disable hold down but then one Space press and its used.
Goated thanks, i have a feeling which one it is but I’m not certain
So I received my Collector's Edition, and the game case was the first thing I saw when I opened shipping box, sitting on top of the Collector's Edition box that has the steelbook and Statue inside. The disc was loose in the game case and scratched up. I had to contact PlayStation Direct, and they said to send the whole collector's edition back and they are sending me a whole new order/bundle, all because they could not just send me a replacement game by itself.
What happened
Weird they can’t just send you a replacement game tbh. Feels like a waste of money on their end.
I know
Maybe some weird limitation Bethesda or ZeniMax is placing on Direct tbh
yeah and everyone arguing over pc specs and ray tracing while waiting for the game to get fixed
I did not even get a chance to take the statue out or anything, just packed it back up send sent it back. They already set up a replacement CE order for me.
Hell. It could even be Microsoft.
I think I came across a glitch in the game around chapter 6
PC launch happened.
Entire chat was counting down the seconds til’ release, then it was followed by waves of confusion when the PC player base couldn’t access the game at all. Got resolved after 2 hours.
Then half of the players started running into performance issues that rendered their game unplayable.
Nice you at least could get a new one to begin with, I guess.
Question how the heck does moist not know about daisy the rabbit.
Yeah, but the only issue was the game disc, the statue and Steelbook were perfectly fine
meanwhile me on ps5 i was already halfway through the game
Good day to be a console player that’s for sure, lol
All 8 gb gpus died when they booted that up
Anyway, I am preordering Ghost of Yotei Collector's Edition through them as well. This is actually the first time out of all the CE's I bought over the years that the game came scratched.
i remember yesterday someone said "im on ps5 and it works" and a bunch of pc players started tearing into him 😭
Lmao
My 8gb thriving fr
is game out yet
Early release is out.
Official release will be out Thursday this week.
Or today, depending on the time zone
Why are people running into such bad pc performance issues when before launch there were none and the reviewers were able to play the game smooth as butter?
most streamers have space age pc's
i know my time zone may 15 9am
game is release that time
Ngl new games are really just made for the ps5 and nothing else
Well just asw the game hasa update... it it good to use the newest gpu driver now or should I still stick with the old one?
nvidia gpu problem is solved
thanks for the premium slayers
Just realized the games technically officially out now right?
Yo, how can I get the Guardian DOOM Slayer skin with the Slayer Club logo on the shield? Is it to late or there is another Bethesda official stream planned in the future?
Dude how many skins are there!? I’m learning about new ones every day
But doom is choppy on ps5
The new cyberdemon looks raw as fuck guys, did you see the eye on his chest
I've beaten chapter 8 now
||I really hope there's actual cool unique bosses later in the game rather than just super heavy 'champions' as bosses||
I discovered that You can get one from Nvidia, it is grey with green touches
It says it’s just a twitch drop for any doom the dark ages stream but I heard it’s bugged right now
Did everyone get an email from Bethesda with a digital code if they got the collectors edition? Because I didn’t and I bought the collectors edition 😔
The key is inside the jewel case of the CE
Has anyone got the helmet yet
I had to get a refund on mine because the delivery driver broke it
If we count humans about 8 billion, i've only got about 13
I got that code that was in the case, but I people were telling me there’s a separate code for collectors edition through email. Because I have the divinity skin, but not the void slayer skin
When the game works as intended this shi peak
Yes
Wasn't expecting the ||whiplash|| to return of all demons
The jeweils case says Premium Edition, that is the CE.
The sadness in my heart when I open the box to the visor being broken with a crack down the side
Ah, because I'm about to watch at least 1 hour of the rediffusion, maybe it counts, but I think they want You when they are streaming (it sounds so obvious, why do I try to have it now, maybe they gonna stream again, because it's obtainable "between May 12 - June 2"
I like the fact each of the 3 new doom games play radically differently
I was in a stream for almost 5 hours and never got anything so make sure it’s working before you start watching
Doom 2016 was like there way of easing people back into doom, eternal they took it up a notch with more parkourish movement, and dark ages is them experimenting with just being an absolute bigger unit than the doom slayer already was
fully organic version of that demon suddenly jumpscaring me in chapter 8:
I like to imagine the level artists did legit drugs and then the writers had to come up with random BS to explain it
One thing I think is over powered is the second you get the ricochet upgrade for the shield you wipe out entire groups in seconds, I think it should be a much more expensive upgrade instead of one of the first ones you’ll get
Fellas the soundtrack goes unreasonably hard, when I heard the 4th level’s ost, I literally headbanged, Doom is so back
The game gives you like 50 different ways to clear out groups faster than you can blink
I can’t say I was expecting full on bullethell mechanics tho
I totally agree all the people I see who say it sucks are mick Gordon mega fans who think every song is bad if It isn’t his
Unchained predator goes so unbelievably hard
I understood how we can obtain it after watched the stream, look attentively, it's important
https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en-US/article/doom-the-dark-ages-twitch-drop
Unlock a Twitch Drop timed exclusive reward by watching streams of DOOM: The Dark Ages.
I like mick Gordon’s music but some people think way to highly of him
In a way I almost prefer the work here
I outright prefer it personally
The arrangement of the music is really clean
Hot take, I know. But I just genuinely don’t care for Mick’s tracks outside of NuWolf.
MY ACCOUNT HAS TO BE LINKED!?
I really liked Andrew’s work though
Anyone else getting terrible performance?
I hope higher difficulties are not imposible for me
Game requires an absolute monster machine
Almost every other twitch drop doesn’t need a linked account to the game but of course Bethesda makes it a requirement
I ran eternal on 144fps but dark ages on like.. 20fps 😭
20 is crazy
I fucking loved Hulshult and Levy.
Lowest drop I got was like to 53 so far, and that’s when I was going absolutely ham
Up until now, they were my favorite tracks for NuDoom.
I’m going to try to get nvidia skin
How
And the way it’s been implemented into the game, they know how to put it in at the right moments, I don’t think we had much of that in Eternal I think
i already have
This game feels like it was designed with replay value more in mind than the prior 2
I mean, my laptop isn't brilliant. But 20!? I run elden ring on 140fps as well. Just weird
I feel like people are getting FPS and refresh rate mixed up they are not the same thing and people are changing settings that won’t fix their issues
Vegas an op
Maybe there will be some performance patches soon.
Pretty sure there will be a laptop patch because laptop gpus seem to be having visual glitches with screen tearing and textures not showing right
I’d like to see a horde mode dlc
I'm not getting any of that, just shitty frames lol
Depends on the laptop
I have a friend on a 2070 and intel 7900k and he says it runs ok for him. I wonder what the issue is...
Is it Blood Red?
It is probably my laptop being lackluster
more of a bandaid, but have you tried using FG?
Same for play but I think it’s because my tv
It’s the nvidia one I think
I got that
Try turning on FG.
Im fairly certain it is
I’ve notice recently most issues in games have been nvidia issues
Yeah it’s the ost on the fourth level
Absolute banger that one
4090 and 13900kf here and I have completed the whole game with literally no issues.
FG will do nothing good if the framerate is below 50 ish
Lowest settings, ultra performance dlss, 25fps max when I'm literally right at the start of the game 😭
CPU?
@woven whale what specs do you have?
The 3050 MIGHT be letting me down
I’ve played with maxed out graphics on my laptop and it runs super well with the occasional visual bug
Which 3050? 4, 6, or 8gb?
what CPU? The 3050 aint the issue
Yeah gotta be blood red then, when the vagary revealed and the music dropped i actually jumped out of my seat
The IDTech engine is heavily CPU bound, so it is important what CPU is used.
It can be the issue if he has below 8 gb
If it is defaulting to its Igpu, it’ll be running it entirely on the CPU.
SAME, that’s when I knew this game is going to be a classic
The only people I’ve seen with frame rate issues on laptop are people who modified their laptop or it’s just extremely old
I saw some dude playing with a 6GB card and it was running fine on low because he had a really solid CPU.
did yall see the steam version updated a few hours ago? any clue what it may have done
Maybe patched some crashes
Might of been the ray tracing
What’s the everyone’s opinion on the new fodder enemy the de’esh?
if you are having performance issues, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you post your CPU.
I really like the new fodder enemies, the new glory kill system? Not so much
also be sure that DDA is installed on an NVME SSD for best performance.
They still have the old glory kills it’s just kinda tedious to do them
Sprint block and E I think while in the air
I5 - 12450h 16gb ram 3050
that is a laptop cpu, correct?
Yes laptop
So they have to be air engaged.. I see
I think that’s the only way I’ve done them so maybe not
I don’t mind them being less cutscene heavy but I miss the iframes yo
The melee is fun though.
you can always practice and get good enough
It makes sense for me the more I play it, the combat has a flow too it that if still have the usual glory kill system, would disrupt it
The old glory kills should be a toggle function in accessibility
Base clock speed is kinda mediocre and the boost speed likely isn't getting full power due to heat/power issues. What is CPU temps while running DDA?
Bitchslapping demons around with the new melee system is growing on me
Would ruin the game
Not built around it
How it would be a toggle
Haven't checked but on similar games it can get about 70c iirc
glory kills already disrupted eternal/2016, especially chainsawing, one of my biggest issues with the game
You don’t have to play with it on
Chainsawing was so excessive in eternal
tru dat
That’s what made it so fun tho
LIke what games?
Most modern games are GPU bound. DDA is not one of them because IdTech engine uses a lot of the CPU for cetain renders. For instance, the ray tracing in this is pretty CPU heavy rather than GPU heavy.
The game would play like shit the combat isn’t built to make that work
Not in excessively cool, just you had to do it every 5 seconds
Plus they would need to make GK animations for everything
They literally have the ability to still do them it’s just rare you’ll meet the requirements
Not happening
Implementing ammo refills through quick melee kills is a very smart idea
Looking it up every enemy does have a GK animation but it’s triggered differently
are there not voice channels in this server?
Maybe not similar then, I cant say for sure. I know it can get up to about 80c on some games is all
Yeah I totally will
The power scaling of nudoom is crazy tho
How do you even get the code in the nvidia app?
It may be getting hotter than that on DDA. It would be nice to know temps on DDA specifically. Boost clock may be dropping for hitting thermal limit.
We used to have them but fools loved shouting ni||ceca||r
Not something I can check right now, but that could be the case.
Does FPS drop immediately or does it happen after a short time?
I just wonder what possibly they could do next lmfao
Ah that’s why they’re gone.
What. A. Surprise.
Immediate, 40 max during the first cutscene then drops to 25 in the actual start
Like What give the slayer a mad max roadster that shoots flames out of its headlights
Why we can’t have nice things
I know the gameplays meant to be slow and tanky but I think the game runs better on fast speeds like in eternal some of the levels are way to big to be going slow in
Each game slowly becomes the original until we’re back to square one 
Could be both power draw issues AND heat. Laptop CPUs are very finicky as they need to have limited power usage to make sure they don't drain the laptop battery too quickly. Not to mention not much space for cooling.
Seeing the health indicator face made me cackle with joy tbh
Wish they had the floppy discs like in eternal
Doesn’t slayer sound like serious Sam and Ranger
im playing nightmare 130% game speed and i think so far this is the sweet spot for me
His voice is incredibly deep and it’s pretty sick
feels like eternal now lol
Fast is the way to go
Have you beaten the game yet?
I feel like every instillation somehow makes the slayer emit more “I don’t give a fuck” energy than the last
only up to level 13
I’m playing UV seems easier than DE UV
Is it good if I bought the game (premium or not, that's not the question) on Instant Gaming to be able to obtain the Void Slayer skin?
I think I’m just so used to eternal it feels weird going slow
yeah i was playing at 100%, it is fine but sometimes the melee attacks and other animations feel too slow
The slayer definitely spent most of his time bulking, my boy shakes the earth with every step
You missed your chance the void skin is for pre ordering
The reason DDA is easier is because you have more defensive tools compared to DE. DE REALLY REQUIRES that you know your kit inside and out or you die.
IMO eternal so far is still the better game but TDA is a close second.
Nah I wish there was a help Chanel that had some advice for people that wanted to unlock the dark ages skins why is it so difficult?!?
I wasn’t the biggest fan of eternal but I respect it
Ha, preorder was till which day?
No, still can it’s not widely released yet
are there skin unlocks for Pandemonium and UN?
Today
eternal gets really good once you fully learn the mechanics like quickswapping, i totally understand why people dont like eternal aswell
Void slayer is available on Xbox as of 1hr ago when I checked
The game comes out today for everyone
I'll blitz my laptop and make sure it's clean later. Last time I cleaned it was a couple months ago so cleaning fans might help a BIT.
I just didn’t like the cracked out mobility all that much
It was part of preordering it says it when you look it up
Oh, I bought it today, so does it count or it's really to late?
Hotswapping wasn't intentional but became a fun tech so they kept it. Even without hotswapping, DE enemy setups are very much "this weapon counters that enemy" kinda thing. Not that it's bad, but it requires a lot more game knowledge compared to DDA.
Did you buy the pre order edition
i think it was funny lol, jungle gym for the slayer
The amount of weapons they throw at you in TDA is wild tho
i find myself just using 3 or 4 of them consistantly
I can't stop listening to "what lies below" on the OST
quick swapping was intentional lmao, but the playerbase took it further than intended via BATS, fblade, FSE, etc
and the second part is just untrue lol
Did you get it on steam or console?
I love the enemy designs in TDA tho
Such a step up over eternal imo. I was not a fan of the more cartoony designs for the demons in eternal
how so? Most weapon mods have clear advantages against specific demons, whether it be damage or weakspots.
give an example
(tag2 demons don't count, they suck xdd)
Lock-On Burst on RPG easily clears Dreadknights for instance.
Had my friend listen to it because im not listening past where I’m at currently, he says its so different to the songs i told him to listen that he actually likes it unlike the others
deals the same exact damage against other demons too🤷♂️
Or i think it was he is out there i forgot which one
its amazing
