the-dark-ages

[velvet elbow]

Then again I did get DANGEROUSLY close to losing my UN attempt more often than usually

[slim crypt]

dragon adjustments like how

[real lynx]

Weird. Doom hasn't done weapon rebalancing post launch iirc

[velvet elbow]

Nerf the SSG and the blue skull cutter variant

That’s all I want really

[tribal patrol]

why nerf the SSG

[harsh egret]

i think the SSG is not the biggest worry in terms of balance issues ngl

[real lynx]

Game doesn't need nerfs imo

[velvet elbow]

It can 2 shot a mancubus and 1 shot a hell knight it don’t seem right

[remote thunder]

eternal's ssg does a similar amount of damage

[tribal patrol]

its supposed to be kickass at close range

[hard thistle]

They tweaked full auto in eternal i think when horde mode came out

[velvet elbow]

I mean sure

Maybe I’m just not used to its power

[hard thistle]

I originally felt it needed nerfing but now that I'm thinking about it I think the issue is more with the Hell Knight and Arachnotron's health.

Because right now the SSG does comparable damage to an empowered Impaler shot and a fully-charged Chainshot hit.

[harsh egret]

agreed

[real lynx]

Hell knights and arachotrons are pretty wimpy

[remote thunder]

to continue that thought, whiplashes are strangely tanky

[hard thistle]

It also feels like it does shit damage to the Whiplash but that could be how thin it is. The Whiplash feels like it's a bullet sponge in this game, though.

[real lynx]

Fuck the whiplash

[hard thistle]

Yeah, it's really weird. It feels like the Whiplash's health is what the Hell Knight's health should be. Switch those fuckers.

[harsh egret]

whiplash my beloved

[tribal patrol]

one shield throw and its over

[wild rose]

The mad lad SAID IT LOUD

[plain iron]

Fuck the whiplash, but at least it don't bounce me around anymore

[remote thunder]

applies to every heavy but that doesn't change how much hp it has

[wild rose]

As he worked in Pacific Rim he just wanted Mechs to be in this game lol

[tribal patrol]

yeah true, plus with their movement its annoying at times

[remote thunder]

luckily they also have a long range parriable melee attack they like to spam

[velvet elbow]

Alright that sounds a lot better

[hot mist]

I hate that they brought the whiplash back lmao

Also hi

[paper dome]

How the bugs lookin rn in TDA

[velvet elbow]

They hurt so good I hate them

[wild rose]

He mentioned the little guy in the minigun

[hard thistle]

I think they should rebalance enemy health like this:

• Double Arachnotron health.
• Increase Hell Knight health by like 60%.
• Nerf Whiplash health by like 30%.
• (I'd honestly like the Vagary to have a slight health buff but that's more subjective just because I wanna fight it more.)

[tribal patrol]

only bug i had was randomly flinging backwards and up when fighting aggadon hunters

[velvet elbow]

WHAT, WHERE

[trim salmon]

I'm experiencing some issues with the eyes, but I think it's due to my GPU that's about it

[trim salmon]

Ong the whiplash be having too much hp😭

[paper dome]

Alr lookin good

[tribal patrol]

yeah vagary is underwhelming to fight, its just annoying with the slow spit thing

[paper dome]

Ty guys

[hard thistle]

Arachnotrons should not be glass cannons, that's reserved for the Revenant. Arachnotrons should be slightly tanky and long-ranged beasts. I love how oppressive the Arachnotron is in this game at long-range, the chaingun's really hard to deal with when there's no cover - but it's invalidated because one shield bash and SSG deals with it instantly.

[hot mist]

I think the Vagary should have more health too

[hard thistle]

I like all the Vagary's attacks, it just feels like it dies too quickly once the armor's done with.

[paper dome]

They kept Arachnotrons?

[remote thunder]

if vagaries were to get a health buff, they should also be given a new move or two

[trim salmon]

Yeah, there's armored variants as well

[remote thunder]

the current moveset doesn't have enough variety for a health buff imo

[wild rose]

Am I the only getting damaged while parryng last minute?

[velvet elbow]

Just saw another bad review for TDA, now I wanna play more out of spite

[velvet elbow]

This ain’t dark souls, parry earlier

[wild rose]

Just died because I got damaged while doing a successful last minute block

[hard thistle]

I'd like to see a move that's a reference to Doom 3 where it psychically lifts a big rock from the ground and flings it at you at high speed, and it has to be parried or it deals massive damage or breaks your shield for a second.

[trim salmon]

I just beat it 10 minutes ago 10/10 game fr

[velvet elbow]

Guy called TDA “parry slop”

[wild rose]

Since when is it a thing in this game? I thought a parry was a parry and that's it

[hot mist]

Lmao

[remote thunder]

every afps is strafeslop... trvth nvke...

[hard thistle]

Me when Doom Eternal is quickswitch slop:
Me when Doom 3 is horror slop:
Me when Doom 1993 is boomer shooter slop:

[cyan lotus]

madlibs ass suffix

probably one of the worst buzzwords to grace the internet in the past few years

[remote thunder]

it's useful though

[velvet elbow]

https://youtu.be/Sbs5TxTKMVI?si=sLaDY-qyd0XRaE3o

here’s the vid i ain’t watching this

[cyan lotus]

usefulslop

[versed fulcrum]

Doom The Slop Ages

[remote thunder]

[a thing the game is known for] + slop

takes no effort to come up with and means nothing

[hard thistle]

There's a bunch of people in the comments making jokes about trans people committing suicide, so this tells me enough about the guy's content and the kind of people he appeals to.

[velvet elbow]

O H

[jolly geyser]

rage bait being shared, whooooo

[remote thunder]

oh yeah he's a chud

[velvet elbow]

I didn’t even look in the comments fuck that

[tribal patrol]

FPS slop

[cyan lotus]

i dont like the game they make me shoot my gunslop at the demonsslop and press buttons on my keyboardslop

[versed fulcrum]

And the mouse slop

[hard thistle]

Tammie, have you played TDA? What were your thoughts on it? You've been the most in-depth I've seen in this server on Eternal's gameplay.

[split saddle]

who actually watches synthetic man 😭 him and his fanbase gotta be from 4chan

always the bad takes from him

[cyan lotus]

to be honest I couldn't really get into it, got maybe 7 levels in before i decided it's just not my kinda thing

no fault of the game though, just personal preference

[split saddle]

like hes such an inferior creature I'm not even going to click play on that video

[junior star]

Anyone heard anything on the glitched Berserker trophy for ps5?

[hard thistle]

If you finished Holy City of Aratum and decided it wasn't your thing that's crazy. I won't judge you for it but that's wild.

[velvet elbow]

We shall point and laugh at this FOOL who made such a bad review

[plain iron]

Something interesting to see is when someone says doom 3 is a dead space rip off... didn't... didn't doom 3 come out before?

[velvet elbow]

So dead space is a doom ripoff…interesting…

[harsh egret]

[ruby quiver]

I haven’t been here in 2 days and there’s another dead space conversation when I join in the chat again lmao

[trim salmon]

It did feel weird to me at first too but I really got into it after a few levels.

[split saddle]

dead space 3 ,, why EA, why

[wild rose]

Lmao his daughter is adorable, but if I was him and she didn't like my Prime1 Doom statue she would leave the house

[fierce galleon]

yeah the game really kicks off once siege pt 1 rolls in

[wild rose]

His daughter questions why there's so much satanic stuff with a space dude in their house

He uncovered 9 bugs in this stream lmao, no way they tested the game

Watched the stream for hours and didn't get the Slayer skin lmao

[tropic briar]

The Dark Ages codex fully transitions us to the promised land of 40k-style weapon descriptions we got a taste of in Eternal.

No more "this is supposed to be a mounted gun that fires unusually large NATO-spec bullets."

Now it's "behold the artisanal deathbringer crafted from the finest of Stygian ores for only the most legendary Sentinels."

[shell totem]

I just beat the game on nightmare plus sliders (to speed up game) and now started my second run on pandemonium (No sliders) and everything looks it is going slow motion .

[vast flax]

Real

[velvet elbow]

I just stubbed my toe and broke the nail

[slate kestrel]

EPIC

[velvet elbow]

Did Hugo say anything about an HDR fix yet?

[harsh egret]

no

[vast flax]

No

[velvet elbow]

:(

[harsh egret]

patch coming tmr according to him so look out for that tmr i guess

[velvet elbow]

Yippee

[vast flax]

Yeah they found like 9 bugs during the stream

[velvet elbow]

Okay good, now they can fix them

[woven jolt]

bro didn't get the joke

[harsh egret]

dragged out joke

[vast flax]

What if

I said that knowingly…

[remote pasture]

I got a bug during the forest looking level(I forgot the name) where I was at the end, somehow fell for a second through the map, and it put me all the way back in the beginning

[real crater]

why not just play it again the gameplay is fire

[remote pasture]

Good point

But at that time I had already beaten the campaign twice and was just trying to 100% the level

And the demons didn’t spawn again

[neon perch]

I like that they got rid of GKs to allow you to kill enemies faster, and then you can't do Glory Strikes if you're switching weapons because it takes forever.

[paper dome]

Oh boy

[neon perch]

I want to play this game fast but Doomguy himself is so fucking clunky.

[paper dome]

Why would they have Arachnotrons tho since they came from the Mastermind in D16

[remote pasture]

That’s why I only played on 150 speed

It felt a lot easier to play on it

[neon perch]

I'm ony 150% and smallest parry window and I'm having a blast, except when I can't fucking execute the enemies because Doomguy has to whip out his comically large spoon everytime he switches weapons.

He needs both hands, the guns are very heavy you see.

[paper dome]

The Doom Slayer needs two hands.

[remote pasture]

We need a comically large spoon of gold

[paper dome]

How fucking heavy are these guns?

[neon perch]

Not only does switching weapons lower the shield for whatever stupid reason but you have to wait for the gun to be out before you can press E on the enemies, and by the time you're finally able to the enemy is already out of the daze.
It's the dumbest shit in this game and I wish they would patch it out. If I see an enemy ready to be executed, the strikes NEED to take priority.

[remote pasture]

yes

[merry sapphire]

i agree

[vagrant path]

tfw people used to call dead space "resident evil 4 in space"

[remote pasture]

I’ve watched it on computer and played it on controller (the doom one) it it feels wayyyy slower on controller even on same game speed

[inner wigeon]

Just maxed it out, it’s aightttttt

[nimble epoch]

Anyone else had the bug where after completing a mission it just doesn’t count and you have to play the whole mission again to progress to next one? Second time this has happened

[inner wigeon]

I was expecting something more highkey

[remote pasture]

That happened to me in the first atlan mission

[nimble epoch]

Happened for two missions in a row 💀

[remote pasture]

It was fun to go back and play again tho

[nimble epoch]

Oof gonna take a break

[remote pasture]

Yeah

I am kinda annoyed because I already almost 100% the game and there’s like nothing left to do

But that’s just what happens in every game

[slim crypt]

it really scares me on how many people say this

[mental grotto]

You know what i just realized? Your Atlan skins only appear on 1 fucking level lmao

the 2nd atlan level you use the random mech in hell and the skin doesnt apply, and the third you use the ||royal atlan||

kind of a shame

[hollow sandal]

Those commenter are so fuckin dumb

[remote pasture]

Unfortunately

But every skin you get for the atlan also comes with one for the slayer right?

I mean I got the skins from preordering and from the controller and it came with the slayer atlan and dragon skins

[neon perch]

I hope they fix the bug where if you kill an essence demon and load last checkpoint it's forever marked as 0/1.

I have like 5 levels permanently marked as 99% because of it.

[mental grotto]

Yeah thats true, so far the only mech skins are the deluxe edition and ultra nightmare gold

[woven jolt]

it's scientifically proven that when you complain, your brain releases feel-good chemicals, it's literally a drug lol

[mental grotto]

wonder if there'll be any mech levels in the dlc

[mental grotto]

watched for like 3 minutes and decided it was BS lol. I use buzzwords therefore i am intelligent!

[remote pasture]

I wish there was a bit more types of attacks in the dragon levels instead of the 2 or 3 we got

[mental grotto]

Doom eternal is quickswap-slop, dark souls is dodge-slop, pokemon is turn-based-slop, am i doing it right dad?

[velvet elbow]

Fair criticism

[mental grotto]

Agreed it'd definitely make the dragon gameplay less repetitive

[remote pasture]

And maybe a ranged attack with the atlan enemies unless I’m forgetting one

[inner wigeon]

Ground surge rune is so overtuned bro, I hope they adjust that

[wise lily]

Said it in spoilers but imma say it again here. I despise fighting the hunters now

[velvet elbow]

You’re doing well, son. I will let you play yet another madden. I got you the preorder for the season pass ultra super mega deluxe edition

[wise lily]

The novelty has worn off and they just piss me off with their insta break shield attack

Wait wheres my last message

[velvet elbow]

God damn the gold skin looks so much better in TDA than eternal

[split gate]

Smartest Doom 3 Hater

[mental grotto]

Yayyyyyyyyy, can i also get the COD black ops 47 season 19 battle pass???

[remote pasture]

Im honestly glad I did ultra nightmare as fast as I did because of the skin

[velvet elbow]

Of course son, let me just take out another loan of 10,000. Hopefully they don’t repossess the house

[remote pasture]

Now the one skin I’m missing is from pandemonium which is gonna be annoying

[harsh egret]

i will never be able to hate that game, it was one of the first games i ever played together with doom 1 and 2, always gonna be that childhood game even if i was scared shitless playing it as a kid lol

[hollow sandal]

Yea I believe it!

[remote pasture]

Not my type of thing but you do you

[velvet elbow]

I won’t mind, I get to play TDA again

[hollow sandal]

Congrats on UN

[harsh egret]

i mean u gotta understand where im coming from tho

[remote pasture]

I do

I’m more fast paced and doom 3 just isn’t that for me

[hollow sandal]

Mhmm~

[mental grotto]

Not my type of game =/= bad game

[harsh egret]

"that one cartoon is objectively dogshit but ill never see it that way cuz it was my favourite as a kid" type shit

[remote pasture]

I’m not saying it’s bad

But it doesnt really connect well for me

[harsh egret]

but no doom 3 isnt objectively dogshit but u get the point lmao

[mental grotto]

I figured, its good to make the distinction because for some reason a lot of people are incapable of doing so

[harsh egret]

yh fair

[remote pasture]

Yeah

[mental grotto]

real asf then you revisit it and its like "what the fuck was i watching"

[velvet elbow]

Thx bro, too many close calls

[remote pasture]

But hey just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean nobody else can

[velvet elbow]

Look man Sonic 06 wasn’t that bad man I had so much fun as a kid please

[hollow sandal]

Hugo pleewaaase 😭😭

Lmao rip

[remote pasture]

Heretic

[mental grotto]

Spore 💀

[harsh egret]

yup, i was into some knockoff avatar cartoon like 14 years ago or smth, always brings nostalgia looking at it again but boy is it BAD

[remote pasture]

I don’t even remember what I used to watch

[mental grotto]

Spore shows you its most fun gameplay within the first 1-2 hours of the game and then you spend the last 10 playing shitty civ 6

[wild rose]

I'm dieing too much on 200% damage now. Hugo really made a difference in the game

[remote pasture]

At least it’s a challenge

[harsh egret]

u think they did it today or yesterday tho

cuz i didnt get to play today but yesterday i didnt feel a difference i think

[wild rose]

I liked to think I was competent enough for UV lmao

[remote pasture]

Yeah

I beat it first on UV normally then I did UN

[wild rose]

I believe the game was still fine yesterday, and I've heard of a "secret update" the game got today around here. I don't remember who said that

[harsh egret]

i did probably xd, i just dont know when they did cuz yesterday i played and it wasnt "harder" i felt

[wild rose]

Same. UV felt like Eternal's hurt me plenty on my first playthrough, I was dieing but not an absurd

[remote pasture]

Yeah

This is the first UN I’ve beaten in doom but I’m happy

[wild rose]

Please play as soon as you can and tell me

Maybe it's my skill issue rising

[remote pasture]

I did increase damage to demons to 200% and game speed to 150 but the rest was the same

[wild rose]

I added you tho, to keep in touch about this

But I felt some crazy bugs today, some I shouldn't have died to

[remote pasture]

That sucks

[hollow sandal]

I died plenty if times on UV, and I haven't even beaten the game yet

[harsh egret]

i declined but dont take it personally xd
just tryina keep my friends list clean with ppl i know and stuff

[wild rose]

Oh alright

[slate silo]

Is it even possible to get every weapon mastery in one run before the game ends? Because you get the last stone sooo late, and unless you left over a really easy gun, you wont finish it in the last few minutes right?

[remote pasture]

I beat the game around the 14th because I had premium but then I beat UN in like 10 hours just straight doing nothing else

[harsh egret]

lmao that "oh" makes me feel bad, again its nothing personal xd

[velvet elbow]

It was very personal

It was an act of vengeance for what you have done

[wild rose]

I was on 5 HP, an Imp jump scared me but my shield was raised, he killed me

[velvet elbow]

Hesitation is defeat

[wild rose]

I'm trying to download a video but PS App isn't allowing

[velvet elbow]

I got a video of the payment required bit, I gotta find a way to cut my dumbass laugh out of it

[frosty dagger]

for me it was mostly the fact ||he still screams after the slayer hits him with a flail ||

[wild rose]

Please guys watch it on #1369206341003903018

[velvet elbow]

It was so brutal and I love it

[remote pasture]

The silence after was perfect too

[remote pasture]

Oh my bad

[simple mist]

JOHNNY TEST

[remote pasture]

YES

I had tmnt discs for blu ray and I watched them all the time

But I watched them recently and they were not good

[wild rose]

Time to start playing on Hurt Me Plenty now

I want to have fun anyway. UV isn't it anymore lmao

Glad I took the UN skin as soon as possible before the first patch, I knew it'd get harder

[remote pasture]

I mean you’re the one playing you decide what’s for you

[deep skiff]

How did It get harder, I didn't read about the patch?

[remote pasture]

Thank god I beat it early then

[wild rose]

I just know I'm dieing on UV in places I never struggled. Maybe I'm just tired

[wild rose]

Oh I almost forgot, the shield not working as I showed on #1369206341003903018

[onyx flame]

so where can I get that fancy zbrush file of doomguy that emily the engineer has

[remote pasture]

Maybe

[deep skiff]

okayy

[deep skiff]

I will check it out

[wild rose]

But I feel like the damage is increased lol

A Hell Knight shockwave took 100 hp of mine on UV

[remote pasture]

I mean it would show on the slider from before wouldn’t it

Oh yep def increased then

[wild rose]

So I ain't crazy?

[remote pasture]

Yeah when I played it was way less

We might be havin a group hallucination tho

[agile sonnet]

Chapter 12, my first actual death (not including Sigils)

[wild rose]

No, Hugo complained people were not dieing. He might have increased the damage on Hurt me Plenty (100% damage) so now the other modes are harder

[remote pasture]

Ohhhhhhhhh

Ok

At least I’m not crazy

[wild rose]

But I'm not having hallucination, have you seen my video?

[remote pasture]

No I haven’t

[wild rose]

I actually filmed the Hell Knight making 100 damage in one hit lol

[remote pasture]

Didn’t hurt me plenty used to be 50%

Maybe everything was upped by 50%

[agile sonnet]

Idk I'm on thst and this aggadon hunter being a bitch

[remote pasture]

Those are annoying on every difficulty

[deep skiff]

Yeah saw that

[wild rose]

Is that right? I don't remember them making so much damage on UV last week

[remote pasture]

Yeah that was Definitly different

I swear it was like half that

[deep skiff]

Looks like they did increase it

[remote pasture]

Great

At least I got UN out of the way

[velvet elbow]

So that’s why I almost died like 3 times near the end

[wild rose]

I really hate extra life mode on the game. Restarting a mission when you die is so boring. Doing everything again

[wild rose]

The end of what? You're going through the same huh

[velvet elbow]

Resurrection and final battle almost got me killed

And that 2nd to last cosmic realm level, room full of hell knights

[remote pasture]

I’m honestly just trying to 100% collectible and gold and weapons my UV game file and beat pandemonium and I’ll have 100% the game

[velvet elbow]

I 100% UN because I felt like I needed consistency

That gold skin is beautiful though

Much better than external’s, at least it ain’t just straight piss yellow

[remote pasture]

It is

I’m not ashamed to wear it anymore

[inner wigeon]

I feel like this game’s “marauder” would be one that faints a lot and punishes you a big time with like a slow or something if you miss

[wild rose]

I'm just missing pandemonium

[small echo]

Why is my ps5 still trying to get me to buy the premium upgrade when I already redeemed my code for it

[remote pasture]

Nice mate

[wild rose]

I'm 100% just playing those modes for the skins. I hate modes that punish you with boredom when you die

[remote pasture]

Yeah I don’t like it either

[velvet elbow]

I feel it

[remote pasture]

I know it’s meant for people who like a challenge but locking things behind it is annoying

[velvet elbow]

I mean it’s only a skin

[remote pasture]

Good point but still

[wild rose]

Having to start an entire level or an entire campaign because of a little mistake or a bug just kills the game to me, I'll get annoyed of those levels even faster because they become bad experiences
"Oh shit this level again"

[remote pasture]

Don’t blame you on that

[wild rose]

Dieing and just trying again fixing my mistakes is the best thing I can do

Well the fault is on me for trying UN and Pandemonic now anyway

[remote pasture]

I think the aesthetic (besides a few missions) are kinda boring to look at aswell

So that doesn’t help while trying to do the same thing over and over

[uneven mortar]

Hugo says they're fixing the bugged trophy AND they're gonna be "sprinkling in more AIs" to spice up existing encounters

[remote pasture]

I hope they add that as soon as possible

I hope the DLC looks nicer aswell whenever that comes out

[real crater]

doom external

[spark elm]

Now I’ve learned how to glory kill, gotta be close up and jump before enacting

[remote pasture]

It might be because I’m running it on an Xbox x but it seems a bit grainy

[wild rose]

Did he talk about the trophy?

[velvet elbow]

HDR issue, they are gonna fix it soon

[spark elm]

Is there a graphic issue on console?

[uneven mortar]

Yeah he said a hotfix is coming

[wild rose]

I actually like it. I had this gripe with Doom External tho

[spark elm]

Graphics look great man

[wild rose]

You can jump and shield bash as well

[remote pasture]

Might just be my Xbox then

Might need to clean out fans

Or something I have no idea

[spark elm]

Oh nice.

[wild rose]

He said he isn't trying to do the DLC as hard as TAG, just more enjoyable. He'll do the hard on us with the Master Levels

[spark elm]

Glory kills I’ve gotten have been like slicing in half, one head stomp so far

[remote pasture]

Nice I got access to the dlc because I bought premium aswell

[spark elm]

And also some decapitation glory kills

[remote pasture]

So I don’t have to buy it

[wild rose]

I hate the head stomps. But there aren't much variations tho. It's mostly you get one from front and one from behind

[remote pasture]

I didn’t hate this games glory kills as much as I thought I would

But it does lack in variety

[wild rose]

The shield slices are very rewarding

[remote pasture]

But the limited amount we got is well, limited

[hollow sandal]

Anyone here on ps5?

[spark elm]

Hope they can maybe add more in the future

[wild rose]

Yes

[remote pasture]

Maybe some with the DLC

add some new enemies aswell

Maybe a new weapon

[spark elm]

Minigun would be nice, like the other modern titles

[remote pasture]

Yeah

[hollow sandal]

Have you experienced Any horrible frame drops anywhere?

[lavish hazel]

I'd like it if there were glory kills for the bigger enemies, because it feels lackluster when you absolutely slaughter a massive thing just to dispatch it with a single kick or punch

[wild rose]

You know, the game does nothing with the circle button besides using gimmicks, it'd be nice if we could choose to make a glory kill or not, just press circle or smack it with melee button

[wild rose]

I don't pay much attention from those so I don't remember

[remote pasture]

Maybe an explosive weapon for the atlan

[wild rose]

Technically it's the skull crusher

[remote pasture]

Just for the level

[spark elm]

true

[wild rose]

I mean, in Eternal we also only got 2 glory kills for the tyrant, so some being limited I don't mind as they are satisfying

[spark elm]

When near big groups, Pulverizer is so handy.

[remote pasture]

Well you are right about that one

[simple mist]

I hope we get master levels for Tda (or something akin to them]

[wild rose]

But I miss Eternal minigun in turret mode, the long range and insane damage were great

[hollow sandal]

Bro wtf I was playing ancestral forge and I was getting 2 fps for a second 😭 a few times

[remote pasture]

I wish there was another weapon along with the chain shot

[spark elm]

And it’s awesome to see when there’s a TON of weak shielded enemies, they can all die at once.

[wild rose]

Skull crusher kinda require you to be on shotgun range and I'm not a fan of that

[wild rose]

Yeah, it was annoying switching to combat shotgun just to kill them with bombs all the time

[remote pasture]

Because it felt weird to have it be the only one in its category

[wild rose]

Have you seen the concept arts?

[spark elm]

Or with like energy shield enemies, the cycler or its other variant can dispatch them at once.

I like how quickly they die.

[next oar]

Shield gunners and arachnotrons always top priority for me 😂

[spark elm]

Some 4-legged chaingun enemy and cyberdemons are the most annoying for me

[next oar]

Full charge chain gun on parry makes it fun to slowly pick off the cyberdemon when there's a crowd of different other enemies

[spark elm]

Oh the arachnotron yeah those are obnoxious

[next oar]

I don't mind the armored ones since u can parry those shots atleast

But the regular one just slowly chipping away at you while you do other things is so annoying

[velvet elbow]

I love the power scaling bullshit that has begun with the existence of the Dreadmace, just complete chaos

[remote thunder]

synergizes perfectly with impaler mastery too

idk how much it charges per headshot but it's good man

[uneven mortar]

Slowdown adjustment options incoming (IF possible) according to Hugo

[hard thistle]

Oh yeah, he's streaming, right?

Has anything else interesting been said?

[uneven mortar]

They shadow dropped a difficulty increase last night (?)

Will update as i get further into stream

[hard thistle]

I didn't get an update.

[uneven mortar]

Idk that's what hugo said half an hour in

[spark elm]

Some would hope for the re-addition of glory kills being by limb

along with what we currently have

[uneven mortar]

I think they could re add them for heavy demons tbh

[spark elm]

Ohhh.

[hard thistle]

Hoping he didn't say anything stupid re: loreshit.

[spark elm]

Would be satisfying on maybe like cybers or barons

[uneven mortar]

The slayer is also samur? I think

[plain iron]

What 😭

[mental grotto]

It all makes sense now…

[plain iron]

Ykwhat I can see it. Weirdly enough, that was a plot point in a fanfic I read once.

Think about it: do you ever see the dark lord and the intern on screen at the same time? Pretty telling if you ask me…

[plain iron]

Fr...

You've never seen the intern and that one doctor in the ARC base either

[uneven mortar]

Omg guys Andrew Hulshult is working on the Markiplier Iron Lung movie soundtrack. ...

[plain iron]

It's the intern in drag frfr...

[mental grotto]

Elena Richardson is the kreed maykr 🤯🤯🤯

[mental grotto]

Aw fuck yeah

[plain iron]

The kreed maykr is a mad stoner fr

[snow hinge]

Have you seen Andrew Hulshult and the Kreed Maykr's Assistant in the room at the same time?

[plain iron]

... no... oh my god he's more based

Significant lore implications there

He's apart of the divine machine...

just finished my 2nd playthrough, I need like 3 challenges for the achievment, do I have to finish the mission after getting them or casn I back out to main menu and still keep the completed challenge?

[honest vortex]

Wait Beansprout is calling Dark Ages the best DOOM game now yesterday.

I thought he called it disappointing a few days ago?

[feral plover]

I didn't get to watch today's stream yet, was working, did they really say they expect to release a patch tomorrow?

[snow hinge]

You can back out to the main menu

[uneven mortar]

they said theyre gonna do master levels :)

[snow hinge]

I am SO excited for those, bring em the fuck on

[uneven mortar]

it sounds like hugo wants to put them out before DLC but josh wanted to stop him from confirming lol

[jovial cave]

Guys i need help

I bought doom the dark ages a few days ago on steam and im at my grandma till december while my gaming rig is at home

I dont have any pc or laptop (it says i need one on nvidias website) at my grandma’s and i rlly want the verdant skin, it expires on june, could someone with a spare code give it to me?

[visual trail]

master levels were confirmed by Hugo

very excited for master levels and dlc

[snow hinge]

Maybe try Steam Link on your phone?

[jovial cave]

That won’t give me the skin bro 😭

[upbeat cipher]

Gold skin looks 🤌

[snow hinge]

I dunno how much that'll matter because as far as NVIDIA's aware it's running on your desktop

[jovial cave]

I need a pc with an rtx to log on nvidia to access the code, if i try on my phone or any laptop with no rtx the website will say you need a better gpu to access the code and my pc is at home

[snow hinge]

And you can still access the desktop of your home PC through Steam Link

[jovial cave]

Its too far and nones at home

My entire family and me with grandma till december

And my pc is turned off

[snow hinge]

Ohhh

[hoary pivot]

serrat's such a cutie patootie

[grave flume]

Just Beat Doom the Dark Ages, Is there a Classic Doom Marine Skin?

[jovial cave]

Im in like an entire different state bro

Fellas please if someone has a verdant skin code ill be eternally grateful

An unclaimed one please

[uneven dragon]

no :(

[jovial cave]

All i need is a code and i can go add it on bathesda’s website pls anyone lmk

[tall nymph]

thanks I just finished the achievement

[silent trail]

Not yet

[jovial cave]

😭

[snow hinge]

I'm almost there, just got to 100% Ch22 and I'll have all the achievements

Well not yet actually, I still have to get the rocket launcher mastery

[delicate geyser]

siege part 1 alr being the hardest level for me

i know i'm gonna get flamed for that but jesus i should NOT be dying 13 times now

dawg wtf is hitting me from the back that's killing me mid fight

i do NOT understand this shit anymore

[urban compass]

UN is really starting to get to me

Messing up more and more

Died at seige 1 twice today for some reason

I gotta do tough it out but man is it really wearing down on me

I thought about doing the pause truck but I’m not that kind of person

[craggy summit]

I’m on siege one in ultra nightmare rn

I’ll see what the fuss is all about

[north drum]

who would win, doom slayer without guns or 2 dinosaurs?

[mental gate]

slayer minimum diff

with a single punch he can send huge boulders flying

he just does that and makes their heads turn into a fine red mist

[urban compass]

It’s not that hard on the furst run through on un, I got through it no sweat

But on subsequent atempts I got sloppier because I became more desperate and slip ups become easier to make

[sweet cobalt]

hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

[loud gulch]

100 dinos vs 1 slayer

[craggy summit]

Nah.. I just died fist attempt

Rip un run time to start over

[tribal patrol]

im not sure... dinosaurs have pretty sharp teeth

[astral ravine]

why are you buffing the slayer?

depends on the dinosaur too

there's a stark difference between fighting a composgnathus and an argentinosaurus

[uneven mortar]

Which dinosaurs

He could definitely kill 2 t rexes

Also, without guns. He would have his knives or mace

[astral ravine]

I doubt a t rex would survive a single blood punch

[tribal patrol]

now i want to see the slayer ride a mechanized t-rex

but i guess a dragon is the same thing, it just can fly

[astral ravine]

t rex with those cyclops visors and gatling gun on both sides

[craggy summit]

So do demons 😭

[astral ravine]

the dinosaurs win if they attack the ID devs first

[uneven mortar]

The more I think about it, Kratos would probably kill Doomguy. One lucky swing with his axe and it would be over, but I'm pretty sure doomguys weapons would all just bounce off kratos :(

[tribal patrol]

both are immortal so its a draw

[uneven mortar]

Neither are really immortal, you die when you lose

[willow beacon]

How are you gonna lose if you don’t die though

[uneven mortar]

It's like the "kirby kills gods" thing, he still can get hit with a wooden hammer a few times and die

Doomguy and Kratos are not really unkillable, they spend their whole games narrowly avoiding death

[tribal patrol]

lore wise i guess they are unkillable, game wise yeah if they were really unkillable it would be boring

[uneven mortar]

I don't think either are unkillable lore wise

[hard thistle]

lore wise i guess they are unkillable

[tribal patrol]

ok, lore wise they are functionally "immortal"

they can still be murdered

[hard thistle]

There you go.

The Slayer has an infinite lifespan in terms of age, but he absolutely can die, and spends a few eons narrowly avoiding that.

[rancid pumice]

just realized the little doomguy head at the bottom of the health/shield bar looks around like in doom 1993

[uneven mortar]

Yep, depending on where u got hit. You can also change it to the old sprite in settings

[rancid pumice]

oh hell yes

[clever mortar]

What's the plural of mancubus. Mancubai? Mancubusses?

[uneven mortar]

Mancubi i think

Succubi, incubi, mancubi

(Third is sexiest)

Themcubi....

Go to your NVIDIA control panel, manage 3d settings and Restore

One of my friend tried and resolved the same problem

[strange nest]

so uh i'm at the final level fighting the leader, and no enemies are spawning in while the leader is currently protected. what do i do?

You dont need a pc for that

[uneven mortar]

Itching to play TDA again but I'll wait a few days for their balance changes

[strange nest]

shouldn't you have a code then?

[jovial cave]

Nvidia website is the one that needs an rtx to give you a code bro

Bthesa doesn’t also who tf made it a slur

ah so you're talking about this then https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/campaigns/doom-the-dark-ages-rtx-bundle/redemption-instructions/

[obsidian shard]

he cant die but can be killed

[brave spindle]

Doesn’t immortal just mean that someone doesn’t age?

[strange nest]

there are different types of immortality

[brave spindle]

Oh

[obsidian shard]

correct, No food water or sleep

and diseases

[uneven mortar]

I think they changed the mech so getting hit doesn't remove your charge?

[oak stream]

have yall encountered a glitch in the City of Ry’uul where if you attempt going on an elevator, it teleports you back to where you were? (It's the same reaction if you were to fall off the map or be crushed by said elevator).

[uneven mortar]

I got one in the shipyard where I fell out of the map during a puzzle and respawned at the secret

[oak stream]

I don't mean that way. I mean that it doesn't take me up the elevator, just teleports me back.

It's hard to explain verbally

[hard thistle]

not yet, but that is weird.
restart from checkpoint?

[oak stream]

I've attempted both that and reinstalling the game, neither worked.

[pallid wing]

I think it's supposed to be a mind fuck

[boreal locust]

Running on 3hrs of sleep

[pallid wing]

But yeah I experienced it. You hit the switch on the catwalk I presume, right? The next level is even more mindfuxing

[boreal locust]

Right after whatever I have it’s dark ages for the rest of the day

[upper ice]

hello if anyone want a DOOM Slayer Verdant skin tell to me dm and i sent a code beacause i have a code but i not playing this 😄 ☺️

[boreal locust]

You can gift skins in the game?

[upper ice]

nope

i have a redeem cupon code

[boreal locust]

Oh

[upper ice]

in invidia

[boreal locust]

I’d take it but I’m not even home

[upper ice]

okay

but if you doint active this cupon until tonight its over

i send dm

[rigid meadow]

whats the M for in the difficulty? modifyers? was wondering if that doesnt let you get ultra nightmare if you change the game speed

[thin zinc]

i had no idea the first time i played this game that if you leap at a staggered enemy it glory kills

glory kills are in the game, you just have to leap at an enemy and execute rather than just melee

[hexed ginkgo]

Dude when the ravager gun’s skull ammos turn blue when rapid fire it’s looks amazing

[thin zinc]

what does it mean when the ammo turns blue?

[hexed ginkgo]

So usually the skulls coming out of the ravager gun turns blue after a certain upgrade in doom dark ages

[boreal locust]

Isn’t it yellow

[mystic patrol]

Enemies drop health when the ravager becomes blue

[thin zinc]

ah thanks

[hexed ginkgo]

That’s the other version of it not the ravager

I forgot the guns name

[mystic patrol]

Pulverizer

[uneven dragon]

huh? really?

[hexed ginkgo]

Yea that

[uneven dragon]

that's kinda odd... what's the difficulty now?

[boreal locust]

Ohhh okay

[hexed ginkgo]

Which one is better tho

[mystic patrol]

I think they are both amazing, but against bosses I love to use the ravager

I melt the agaddon hunters with it on nightmare

[uneven mortar]

I don't think thats right, they chamged smth else

Maybe its preserving charge across rocket jumps

[real lynx]

so what did the update change

[thin zinc]

something with the music and difficulty. i gotta go back and watch exactly what hugo said

[real lynx]

i don't see a changelog

[thin zinc]

i think it was a hotfix, and not a patch

apparently made the game harder and did something to improve the music or make it easier to hear

[boreal locust]

Hope the berserker trophy is obtainable now

[sudden stump]

on steam it just popped for me as soon as I entered a level, think it's fixed

music is also louder for me

[uneven mortar]

the stream gives me the impression that updates will be very frequent and theyre paying attention

[frank turtle]

Dying on pandemonium is a bitch

And dying on un is gonna be worse 💔

[uneven mortar]

Hasn't triggered for me...

[north leaf]

the upside is u learn the maps u died on... also i think unm in this is a lot easier than eternal because the bosses are kinda forgiving

[winged surge]

Does anyone have advice to get past the early levels fast I’m so tired of going through it on UN

[rigid meadow]

focus on fodder, blocking the imps green attack up close turns em purple for an easy kill, also, take it slow, low health? grab one of the extra lives for full ammo and health

[north leaf]

just ignore gold after u get ur main wep, and check speedruns for what strats they use

[rigid meadow]

ive gotten to the 4th level so far before dying

[sudden stump]

fodder will erase you quickly if you don't keep them in check

[north leaf]

current best weapon is impaler

[uneven mortar]

Does anyone know how I give feedback to id? I really think the health and ammo resource sliders should be separate

[rigid meadow]

I beat the final boss with impaler, best thing ever

[winged surge]

I made it to level 15 and I’m starting to lose hope cause I haven’t even made it close to that since

[rigid meadow]

oh dang I havent gotten that far yet lol

[winged surge]

Yeah I basically have a route for most of the life tokens

[rigid meadow]

id assume combat shotgun for the armor and the impaler vs Bosses

[winged surge]

It’s intense

[rigid meadow]

that whole boosted shot for parrying is the best

[honest vortex]

I've always agreed with those that thought 2016 demons looked more intimidating and badass in 2016 compared to Eternal.

But I've been seeing people say even Dark Ages has goofy, cartoony, and not-so intimidating demons compared to 2016.

... and I'm not really sure if I agree with that. The Dark Ages Pinkies, Cosmic Barons, Cosmic enemies in general, as well as the new Revenants are hella intimidating and on par with 2016, if not, even more-so than 2016 in that department.

So I'm surprised

[winged surge]

I simply don’t think I’m getting the best upgrades lol

[rigid meadow]

I mess up cause ill revert back to chargin in instead of staying far and dealing with fodder

[winged surge]

Idk if I should stick to fist or not

[honest vortex]

Dark Ages Cosmic Barons are intimidating as hell. I'd say even more so than the 2016 Barons

[rigid meadow]

those damn things are horrible when i fight em unless its a nice open area

[winged surge]

I have trouble with the cosmic cacodemons

[honest vortex]

I'll say that I do think the level of blood and gore of 2016's demons over The Dark Ages is more intimidating though

[rigid meadow]

Yeaaa those things suck too, cool design though

[honest vortex]

Also The Dark Ages Cacodemons are kinda nightmare fuel

Another reason I am surprised people are saying The Dark Ages has more goofy, cartoony, and not very intimidating demons in comparison to 2016. 😂

[rigid meadow]

Yeaaa Giant brain design goes HARD

Love the whole Eldritch segment

[honest vortex]

Like I agree that Eternal demons are more goofy, cartoony, and less intimidating than 2016's.

But I don't really think that's the case with Dark Ages

So I'm not really sure why many people are saying it is 😂

[rigid meadow]

finally a new area and Non demons to fight

[wise lily]

The cosmic barons design is cool I'm just... dissapponted its the baron all over again tho

[winged surge]

Whenever the lizard guy and cacodemon showed up I just instantly BFCd that combo

[wise lily]

I didn't read its codex so maybe it's just a baron corrupted by the cosmic realm

But i feel they coulda done more with such a neat design

[winged surge]

I low key wanna fight more shit on mars lol

[wise lily]

Although i gotta say. I get more scared seeing a Cosmic Baron and Hunter on the field then i ever do seeing a cyberdemon

[rigid meadow]

Oh yeaaaaaa id do the same, Lizard isnt bad by itself, thought it would be tougher, spiderthings more annoying with the acid

[wise lily]

The hunters just infuriate me to no end now

Their novelty of lore has worn off for me and now they just anger me

[rigid meadow]

I wanna know more about other worlds Hells taken over, Like I assume the Spiders and Lizard guys are from their own world, like what stuff was actually Hellborn? and from that dimention originally

[north leaf]

is nobody using combat shotty on their permadeath runs? it seems like the weapon i will most likely stick to because thats really the only feassible way to get full armor reliably

[rigid meadow]

I do

[frank turtle]

Same with the rocket launcher, I love that thing

[north leaf]

i use it to cheese stuff from range all the time mainly

rockets have the highest range of any projectile in game

[frank turtle]

The shield guys with the turrets are so scary, they drain ur health like it's nothing if u don't focus on them

[wise lily]

Yeah chaingunners, arachnos, and cyberdemons are my main targets on the field

[north leaf]

invisible fuckers are way scarier

the smack does like 200 dmg

[wise lily]

The nightmare imps i don't find scary as much as i find them annoying

[north leaf]

on permadeath they are scary

if u cant remember they are there

[frank turtle]

Yeah I've been genuinely jump scared by those nightmare imps

[wise lily]

They're rat bastards and i despise them. I'm glad that they seem to have gone extinct by time of 2016 and Eternal

[plain iron]

I've just been jumpscared by imps in general lmfao

"imp noises"

GO FUCK YOURSELF

[north leaf]

stone imps also, id rather fight 3 cosmic barons at once than a combo of nighmare+stone imps

[wise lily]

Aight thats... thats where we might have to disagree

For all their annoyances they at least take 1 shot to kill from an SSG

[uneven mortar]

the stone imps are HORRIBLE i love them

[wise lily]

Cosmic barons are the most tanky assholes outside of bosses and leaders

[uneven mortar]

desperately trying to stick a revenant down and a stone imp is in front

[wise lily]

Maybe Kamodos too

I'm ngl i really don't like the revenants in this game. Not even in a i hate them but i love them way either

I just think they're annoying to be annoying

[uneven mortar]

idk i like them, they demand attention and can screw with your plans

[wise lily]

They're very nicely designed though. Easily my favorite Revenant design

[uneven mortar]

you can also kind of ignore them and win big when they shoot green

[north leaf]

barons and cyberdemons are the easiest superheavy for me. super predictable attacks. meanwhile vagary and the komodo can both go into an attack mode where they just run from you and spam very annoyingly accurate ranged fire

[wise lily]

The problem comes when they're with other demons

Especially demons that typically take priority above them

[uneven mortar]

cyberdemons are a pain in the ass but then you can just kill them with the mace, which is kind of a bummer

[north leaf]

mages are worse than revs, their ranged attack where they spam circles on you comes out so fast and does so much dmg

[uneven mortar]

whiplashes i find annoying because they seem kind of buggy and unreliable\

[wise lily]

Yeah the acolytes and revs speed annoys me

[uneven mortar]

and too much health

[north leaf]

possessed whiplashes are a nightmare in this game

sooo tanky

[wise lily]

Whiplashs i only hat-yeah when they're possessed

Cause at least normal whiplashes will die with a shield toss and a few SSG shots

[uneven mortar]

theyre kind of like this games versio of the carcass

they just suddenly get in the way

[wise lily]

Those motherfuckers when possessed are WAY too tanky

[north leaf]

theres a corridor in harbor of souls with 2 of them and i spam 25 rockets down the hallway and spam shield saw to keep them back and they are still at like 50% hp when they reach me

[rigid meadow]

whats good to upgrade for UN besides Combat shotgun and Impaler? Shield Id assume

[uneven mortar]

yes

[wise lily]

Yes

[uneven mortar]

shield over all

[wise lily]

Shield should always be where you pour your gold in first

[rigid meadow]

alright just got back to the 4th level where I died last time, gotta get that up

1-3 is easy, 3 is just mech, gotta get past 4 and see how far I get this time

[north leaf]

besides impaler, i think upgrading chainshot so it has the charge on parry is good, max upgrade fllail and mace as you get them as well. mace makes the bosses a joke

[wise lily]

And the flail is just good for everything

[north leaf]

ye you can use flail up till the boss chapters imo

[wise lily]

The flail is so good that it honestly makes the power gauntlet obsolete

[uneven mortar]

I kind of miss getting upgrades from combat arenas, so you could just run through without exploring on replay

Mace is way too strong

[rigid meadow]

alright got it, might actually beat this UN, havent beaten 2016 or Eternal yet

[wise lily]

If you want to just cheese the run. When you die, pause and go exit to main menu. Lets you save scum

You'll still need to restart the chapter

[north leaf]

also i think devil daggers or heaven splitter are both good. i used daggers on previous run and they shred

[rigid meadow]

Ahh yeaaaa lol did eternal have that?

[wise lily]

Not at all

[merry sapphire]

i like the fists more cause of the shocked effect

[rigid meadow]

Havent used the daggers yet, I used the shoulder turret my first run

[wise lily]

If you died in eternal and tried to save scum you'd lose all your weapons and everything else

[rigid meadow]

ah dang

[wise lily]

You wouldn't even be able to use your melee

[merry sapphire]

i think the runes in the game are kind of boring except the auto cannon one

[north leaf]

you could cheat eternal un as well by force closing the game if you died. but at that point just use cheats. and if you just want the gold skin then you can play on minimum sliders in tda

[merry sapphire]

no it wouldnt cause my game crashed on UN and it just restored me to the last checkpoint

[wise lily]

Thats what it always did to me

[merry sapphire]

never happened to me

[north leaf]

you could always cheat in eternal by force closing

[wise lily]

The point was on death. Not on external factors

[rigid meadow]

do the sliders not effect the UN run?

[wise lily]

They do

[rigid meadow]

I meant like not getting the skin if ya change em

[wise lily]

You still get the skin

[north leaf]

nah you can use sliders to beat unm easy and get skin

[uneven mortar]

There's no pressure to use anything but SSG Chainshot and Mace its killing me dude it's so unbalanced

[delicate stirrup]

That rifle that Sentinels carry in the cutscenes should've been usable.

[merry sapphire]

oh then if on death i wouldn’t know. game crashed on me midfight and just reloaded my checkpoint when i came back. honestly good ion like cheaters on UN

[rigid meadow]

oh huh, lol guess I could technically make it easier for myself, or just Beat it like the Slayer intended

[wise lily]

Tbf that's what they wanted for the game anyway. Use a weapon you like

[north leaf]

impaler is better than chainshot its the same dmg basically but faster fire rate

[uneven mortar]

Yeah but you gotta hit the head and no AOE

[merry sapphire]

chainshot sounds cooler tho

[wise lily]

Rocket launcher also lets you keep its charge unlike impaler

[north leaf]

there is a small aoe on impaler

[wise lily]

Even if you switch to multiple weapons

[snow aspen]

Is this the right location to ask for Easter eggs in the dark ages?

[wise lily]

Although impaler is still broken beyond belief

[merry sapphire]

wish the impaler stuck enemies to the wall more like the trailer showed

[north leaf]

i think borderlands 3 let u pin enemies to wall? or some other game recently

[uneven mortar]

Someone needs to rebalance this game omg 😢 😢 I love it so much but I can't just cycle 3 weapons forever to stay alive

[merry sapphire]

almost every weapon in the game is broken, the game balances that by putting shitton of enemies and reducing health sources

[uneven mortar]

Dead Space did it in 2008!

[merry sapphire]

you can easily beat boss fights with one weapon whats the issue

[uneven mortar]

No I mean I wanna feel pressure to use ALL of them

[wise lily]

I think they want an excuse to use every weapon when tbh.. that wasn't the games intent or design

They give you a lotta weapons, say use which one you like most and tell you to be on your way

[merry sapphire]

thats eternal Xavier. this game pressures you to parry and keep yo health up not manage ammo

[wise lily]

In all honesty you don't even need to switch during a fight and its more detrimental to do that if anything

[uneven mortar]

Idk I know it's not but... idk. Even basic boomer shooters have a use for every weapon

[wise lily]

Every weapon here has use. You just don't have to use every weapon

[merry sapphire]

exactly. my only issue is that you cant parry or even block when switching weapons and i think thats stupid

[wise lily]

Think of it like that and it'll help more me thinks

[merry sapphire]

the pistol in doom literally has no useful use when you get the chaingun

[uneven mortar]

I know, I've 100%ed it and really liked it but it railroads you to your 3 strongest weapons, it's unbalanced. You have infinite ammo.

I don't need Doom Eternal pressure, just want 1993 pressure

[wise lily]

It is very stupid. I understand not wanting quick swaps but sometimes i want to swap to a weapon with more range so I can kill a demon further off shooting projectiles.

Not having my shield to defend myself during that window really pisses me off

[uneven mortar]

Aside from that

[merry sapphire]

no i think its good that they nerfed range. you are supposed to shield bash to the enemy and fight in close quarters

[wise lily]

Especially when that thing is literally your life line. On UN you're basically guaranteed to die if it breaks

[strange nest]

no long range is necessary

[uneven mortar]

I think I read that they're gonna fix that

[strange nest]

rush in and do something a specific platypus would do.

[uneven mortar]

Not necessary but often smart

[merry sapphire]

yeah they should allow parrying and blocking at ALL times no matter what. even if it cancels a glory strike

[wise lily]

Ehhh sometimes shooting a rocket at a group of demons from afar is a nice way to clear an area

[strange nest]

or parry and be in the explosion

[wise lily]

Especially if you don't have a way to get air time for a ground pound

[merry sapphire]

hate how glory strikes locks you in the attack. died too many times from a stray projectile hitting me mid strike

[uneven mortar]

I don't want the game to be Doom Eternal, I just want the balancing to deliver on the core tenets of both classic doom and reboots. Rewarding smart use of your weapons and improvisation.

[strange nest]

yeah this game is all about brute forcing your way through by slapping the shit out of demons with a shield chainsaw and a skull

probably the only game where you get to crush a skull with a skull

[uneven mortar]

Soldiers killed me more than any heavy demon that way

[merry sapphire]

exactly lmao its stupid. also mayo mentioned something they really should fix which is the moment of invulnerability when you get to low health. it was in eternal and it saved you from randomly dying from half health. but in this game if a projectile hits you and gets you to 5 health, another projectile can kill you within that same moment, rendering the life saving feature useless

[uneven mortar]

Yeah definitely, I know Hugo and Mayo talk and watch each other so I'd be surprised if it doesn't get adjusted somehow

[merry sapphire]

yup. surprised to hear hugo mention mayo as his friend and that they talk alot. pretty cool

i thinks its just an oversight and less about balance since it was in eternal

[uneven mortar]

Yeah

[feral bane]

Stone imps are my opps

Always manage to hit me at the worst times

[burnt patrol]

Is it possible to get demons & weapons stats in Doom TDA like for Eternal ?

[quaint kettle]

the doom 2016 corrax tablet audios are so aura

[uneven mortar]

Charging through the final third of the campaign using only the SSG is gonna get old... I'm warning you guys...

The end is nigh

We need a rebalance update or mod

[devout mirage]

But it's satisfying and it sounds nice

[uneven mortar]

The end is near

[devout mirage]

i can just replay the campaign though

with a different weapon

[honest vortex]

They're one of the most changed reoccurring demons doe

This game's blocking gets extremely buggy sometimes

[uneven mortar]

Cosmic Baron was absolutely fire imo though I'd like to see classic barons return in DLC

[honest vortex]

There's been a few times where I'm stuck in a blocking animation until I die, reload, or switch weapons.

There's many times where the blocking inputs straight up don't work at all until you die or reload checkpoint etc

[uneven mortar]

id software add spectre pinky riders or no balls

[gritty matrix]

they already got spectre imps and spectre reves. how many spectres you guys still want

[honest vortex]

Parry windows feel hella inconsistent.

Sometimes it won't register a parry or your shield will break, or you won't block, even during a perfect timing.

Other times you can parry for a generous window

Also sometimes the shield animation transitions get extremely laggy and delayed

[uneven mortar]

Spectre pinky riders!!! Cmonnn itd be so funny to get bitten by a giant ass pinky rider when you aren't focusing

[honest vortex]

I'm starting to think this game might actually be as buggy as DOOM Eternal

[uneven mortar]

Currently? Way more. Doom eternal had years of fixes remember, this just released

[honest vortex]

Even current DOOM Eternal is super buggy for me.

Tbh DOOM Eternal got buggier and buggier as more and more updates came out for some reason

[uneven mortar]

I'm super excited to do a second run once they've rebalanced the game and ironed out the kinks

The main doom eternal bug that annoys me is when I blood punch instead of glory kill

[honest vortex]

Actually I wouldn't go that far, I just remembered how buggy Eternal was lol.

But Dark Ages is much buggier than I initially thought.

[uneven mortar]

Yeah it's definitely pretty buggy, pretty good for a modern release window tho

[honest vortex]

Dark Ages is definitely buggier than 2016 for sure, even though I prefer Dark Ages over 2016 (and even over Eternal)

But yeah 2016 is by far the least buggy modern DOOM for me.

Might because it's mechanically the least busy one, so it was easier to polish things

[uneven mortar]

Yeah 100%

I don't know if I've ever encountered a memorable bug in 2016

[honest vortex]

Though 2016 is odd, as when it does bug out, it does an EXTREME bug.

Like glory kills making you clip through the floor and die, and platforming randomly making you clip through the collision

[uneven mortar]

Hmm

[honest vortex]

But it's by far the least frequent and consistent at being buggy

[uneven mortar]

One thing I miss is slayer taking new weapons from corpses and such. The drop pods are cool but I want more variety

Best ever was taking it off that scared soldier

[uneven dragon]

just swap weapon

"using the same weapon all the time is boring" so swap it then..

[uneven mortar]

It would be nerfing myself for no reason, it's a balance issue

[honest vortex]

I mean Dark Ages has a lot of crazy mechanics with the shield and enemies and melee weapons and shit.

The shield system is new for DOOM, so if kinda makes sense why it's kinda unpolished in its implementation to some degree

[uneven dragon]

"i get bored using this gun - instead of using another gun they need to nerf this gun so i dont want to use it"

[lavish hazel]

Impaler is fun and good

[uneven mortar]

"This attack does 9999 damage to everything they should fix this" "duhh you control the buttons you press"

[uneven dragon]

I mean yeah you do control the buttons you press

[uneven mortar]

It's a shitty defense of bad balancing

[uneven dragon]

the ssg and ballista can get you through 90% of eternal too this is just a thing with every doom game

[honest vortex]

But yeah I do hope they fix the blocking and parrying bugs

[lavish hazel]

I mean SSG is just generally strong lol

[uneven mortar]

Doom eternal never let me get away with only using one or two weapons

[lavish hazel]

Parry window needs to tighten

[uneven mortar]

They're adding a tighter option

[honest vortex]

Hugo Martin proved this.

He spams SSG+Ballista combos on Nightmare and gets by on his streams.

He's not even close to a pro either

[uneven dragon]

it sure as hell let me get away with it on nightmare lol

[uneven dragon]

cant you literally tighten it with a slider....

[uneven mortar]

I hate swapping to another weapon and immediately feeling pressure to go back to the super shotgun or risk dying

I want every gun to have value

[lavish hazel]

tighter, I want frame perfection

[honest vortex]

"2016 sucks because I can spam SSG+Gauss. Meanwhile countless people beat Eternal with spamming SSG+Ballista combos"

Lol

[lavish hazel]

aka let me burn red with anger and fume

[uneven mortar]

I don't like feeling encouraged to just spam 2 weapons and beat any of these games

[honest vortex]

I feel nearly every weapon in TDA is valuable, except for the Plasma guns, they feel kinda worthless

But the plasma guns look and sound extremely cool atleast

[lavish hazel]

plasma guns are good for just distancing and boss shred but the amount of parriable attacks makes that usage absolutely unnecessary

[honest vortex]

Rocket launcher straight up lets you heal yourself with splash damage after you parry

[uneven mortar]

Chain lightning is pretty fun but not that useful

[honest vortex]

Albeit the rocket launcher shoots very slow, so it's not THAT useful

[lavish hazel]

I don't like the explosives, they feel pretty lackluster and I'm an up in face person

[honest vortex]

But it's still fun

[uneven mortar]

What about the Cannibalism upgrade

[honest vortex]

Idk. I like the grenade launcher

[lavish hazel]

Even if you heal off it, you can use the pulverizer and have the same effect with better usage

Or just hit them enough to glory strike

[uneven mortar]

The rocket launcher is super good, most of the weapons are super useful until you upgrade the SSG and Chainshot and Mace

[honest vortex]

Though the grenade launcher does feel like it doesn't do very much damage tbh.

But it's very fun to use

[uneven mortar]

Grenade launcher looks and feels awesome but the cluster bombs.... wtf were they thinking

So boring compared to the rockets

[honest vortex]

I don't really use the mace.

It felt like it did six billion damage, and even Cosmic Barons felt like they die pretty much instantly to it.

[uneven mortar]

Yeah, and it replenishes all your ammo, AND you get a second swing after a parry. It's completely OP

[honest vortex]

It's odd they introduce a weapon that trivializes Barons in the same level where it introduces the Baron

[uneven mortar]

Satisfying to use but saps fun in a BIG way over time

imo grenades should do way more damage than rockets bc of the difficulty landing them

[honest vortex]

Wait what's wrong with cluster bombs?

It's how the grenades worked in Eternal as well

[uneven mortar]

They just feel useless compared to the already good rocket splash damage and even stuff like the cosmic aoe

[honest vortex]

I prefer grenade launcher as the rocket launcher feels way too slow for me.

But I like both

[uneven mortar]

The grenades look amazing

Rocket launcher is so cool, I love how it turns green when Cannibalism is active

[honest vortex]

I also think grenade launcher has a better sound effect.

The rocket launcher sound feels like it was reused from Eternal's

[honest vortex]

Atleast I like the explosion sound more from the grenade launcher

[sacred salmon]

Is serrat a dragon or a dinosaur?

Are all dragons dinosaurs???

[sharp moat]

Thira called it a dragon

[sleek ermine]

dragon

[mystic crow]

Yeah they are good but I am an idiot and I keep blowing myself up with it

[neon perch]

I think it's very cool how Whiplashes can randomly break out of Heaven Splitter and slither away.

Very fair and totally not infuriating.

[odd void]

[delicate sparrow]

Whiplashes seem to be very buggy currently

[sharp moat]

i hope they bring in Andrew and David for DLC

[delicate sparrow]

Also annoying af

[sharp moat]

would love to see more of their music

[delicate sparrow]

Blood swamps was sick by Andrew

[sharp moat]

The dark ages is acceptable but i really need something to hit like a truck

[rocky badger]

What did Hugo say about the Ravager? I heard they're going to tweak it. I beat one run on Nightmare but hardly used it, but I heard that it is a DPS monster

[fluid nacelle]

So glad they confirmed master levels
Hyyype

[astral ravine]

wasn't there going to be slayer gates type of challenges in the dlc?

honestly one of my only big criticism of the main campaign, the lack of those kind of challenges

[fossil spear]

holy shit ts game so good

[fossil spear]

its not, it’s actually a pretty bad gun

just use pulverizer, it has cc and high dps at close range on heavies

[uneven dragon]

if you get the electric parry ability tho then it becomes 3x as good

[uneven dragon]

why not stick with finishing move tho,,.?

[fossil spear]

ravager is better and has cc and is also high dps at close range for heavies especially mancs(big hitbox) and hell knights(cuz hell knights are always coming at you)

[uneven dragon]

IDKFA has more official Andrew doom songs

[tired ember]

I played Doom: The Dark Ages yesterday and it was fine. Today, when I went in, it gave me a Denuvo error. Has anyone had a similar situation and solved it? I rebooted my PC, but it did not help.
Error:
support.codefusion.technology/anti-tamper/?e=88500005&l=english&s=at

[fossil spear]

andrew’s work on the dlc was better than finishing move imo

[oblique fjord]

dude

why does the SSG hit so much harder in DTDA than the SSG in DE

[rocky badger]

Interesting. I didn't use either in my first playthrough. Will have to try them out

[fossil spear]

yeah pulverizer is really fun when faced with a horde of fodder, also the way that you can just shred the hp of mancubi is insane, its such a great gun

[loud gulch]

unholy siege tops both andrew and mick imo

[fossil spear]

hell no, it’s way too heavy that you cant even hear any melody

[loud gulch]

the breakdown is just so 😻😻😻

[loud gulch]

i like heavy

it fits the games theme alot

and i REALLY REALLY like that

[plain iron]

Isn't... that the point of metal idk bout you but I can hear the melody fine

[loud gulch]

me2

[plain iron]

It's definitely more thrash than djent, that might be why. I think it's thrash

[loud gulch]

i dont rlly like djent music btw

i odnt like electronic in metal

[plain iron]

Im iffy w it. Especially when it's a rude imitation of djent mick

[fossil spear]

yeah but for example, in harbinger, the sounds are actually pretty clear, sure, the sound is rough, but not so rough and thrashy that it makes it sound like noise. In Meathook, you can hear the recurring melody of the guitar and in finishing move’s soundtrack, its more rhythmic and just mindless shredding instead of a carefully produced piece of music

sorry for yap

[loud gulch]

i can really tell unholy siiege was tryna become the new bfg 10k

[loud gulch]

LOL true. that shwy i love fm sm, they do it in their style with a little homage to micks style

[fossil spear]

i guess it is personal preference, but like cmon you cant tell me the best tda song can beat Flesh and metal man

[plain iron]

... yes its a different genre of metal to Mick's. Thrash is thrashy. That's the point.

[fossil spear]

i feel its a downgrade

[loud gulch]

ok icl most of the eternal songs are repetitive

[fossil spear]

if you think about it, every doom song ever made is repetitive except for the first 2 old games

[loud gulch]

rip and tear sounds like tottfiy and tottfiy sounds like meathook and so on

[loud gulch]

thats the tda goal, to be as similar as the ogs

[fossil spear]

idk about that, rip and tear is pretty unique compared to the other doom 2016/eternal tracks

[plain iron]

Just not your genre ig. I'd love for TOOL or SOAD to do the soundtrack, which both are better than mick imo, but many would see it as a downgrade

[rocky badger]

What's the stronger/better Impaler buff? Empowered shot from picking up ammo or stronger shots when holding the trigger?

[loud gulch]

i mean ehh

[loud gulch]

empowered shots. easy falters against super heavies

[plain iron]

Mick's work is pretty bland imo, all very samey and kinda shallow

[fossil spear]

idk both are good, but the empowered ammo shot thingy is really fun to headshot stalkers with

[fossil spear]

holy shit dude imagine if Hakita helped work on a doom game soundtrack

do u know hakita?

[plain iron]

Hakita is pretty good at what he does.

[fossil spear]

so it would be awesome to see him work with finishing move or mick or andrew

[plain iron]

Heaven pierce her is a absolute banger name tho

[loud gulch]

ok one more thing, the main menu in tda is so much better than the other 2 imo

[plain iron]

Real !!

[loud gulch]

wtsfl sounds so MEATY and REAL

[rocky badger]

How did they increase the difficulty like Hugo mentioned? The only thing I noticed was that medium-heavy enemies felt like they were staggered for a shorter period of time

[fossil spear]

uhhh idk man the doom eternal menu is pretty damn near perfect

[loud gulch]

i love ultrakill

[loud gulch]

the menu theme for eternal is good and i cant deny, but over and over it just became too repetitive. even with 90 hours dumped into tda im still not bored with the main menu

[fossil spear]

yeah, its very unique and fun. I do like doom eternal more but ultrakill is a decent game as well. Sisyphus prime took me like 190 attempts to beat bro

[loud gulch]

i p ranked sisy on brutal on 2 save files.

i couldnt wait for layer 8 so i just hopped on doom and slowly fell in love with it aagain

[plain iron]

My main issue with mick is that he doesn't have a real distinctive style. Comparing this to say, daft punk. You can tell when daft punk has worked on a song, it has a very specific noise, but with mick, he's so... eh. You can find other artists that sound like him

[raven sonnet]

is sheild saw as fun to use in the games as it looks?

[fossil spear]

thats crazy man, i dont even compare. I have not even p ranked sisyphus on NORMAL, but i did p rank minos prime on normal so that’s cool i guess

[loud gulch]

thats true. sometimes i couldnt tell which songs are which by mick on my playlist

[fossil spear]

HELL YEAH

[raven sonnet]

great

[loud gulch]

thats some good progress, i think with more tech you could p rank on violent

[raven sonnet]

cannt wait to buy it a play it once i get a new pc my pc has a nividia quadro

[loud gulch]

bro. try it for yourself and tell me

[raven sonnet]

i would if my pc wasnt dog shit

[loud gulch]

WHAT is a nvidia quadro is this like a new gen thing

[raven sonnet]

its old

[fossil spear]

no im not kidding its actually so fun and it feels very good, the parry, the block, the shield charge, the throw, it all flows seamlessly together and feels really weighty yet smooth

[loud gulch]

ive never heard of it like ever

[raven sonnet]

and isnt even for gaming its so ass

[loud gulch]

whats ur rig

[raven sonnet]

it cant run roblox at max graphics aand struggles running geometry dash

its so bad

[rain anchor]

fellow dasher

[raven sonnet]

i cant wait till i get my nvidia 4060 and ryzen amd 9700 and 32gb of ram

[loud gulch]

wtf obr

[raven sonnet]

my first game pc

[loud gulch]

my specs r so bad like

[raven sonnet]

nvidia 4060 cant run 4k

[loud gulch]

compared to others my rig is so ass

[rain anchor]

GD players are everywhere istg, i just joined and the first message i see is a GD player

[raven sonnet]

and my monitor only 72 hz

[rain anchor]

72?

[loud gulch]

THANATOS? LIKE ATHANATOS BY EXEN?

dududu du dudu du dudu du

[raven sonnet]

u make terraria mods?

[rain anchor]

NO WAY ITS NOT LIKE SOMEONE MAKES THAT JOKE LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE DAY

[plain iron]

Lemme get the specs of the puter I'm paying off

[rain anchor]

ye

[raven sonnet]

nice

[loud gulch]

[raven sonnet]

pet cacodemon and then shove a grenade down its throat

i beat doom eternal and it only took me like 1 and a half years

i have a terrible pc so i couldnt play it very good with mine so it was painful even playing it so it took me so long

[rain anchor]

#screenshots i dont understand why everyone hates motion blur in games, it just looks better. the absolute only time it affects gameplay is if ur at a super high competitive level

[raven sonnet]

and my storage is only 476gb

[raven sonnet]

I LOVE MOTION BLUR WHEN MY PC CAN RUN IT

[rain anchor]

what are ur specs lmfao

how can u not run motion blur lol

[plain iron]

A 5500, 3070 w 8gb of vram, 16 gb of ram and 1.5 TBs of space.

Other shit too but yk

[loud gulch]

motion blr makes 70fps look like 120fps i cant fucking lie

[rain anchor]

ye plus its just more cinematic

[loud gulch]

it made my game from unplayable to enjoyable

[plain iron]

I need to upgrade the ram... too bad the mobo is ddr4. Couldn't even get ddr5 smh/j

[loud gulch]

is ddr6 6gbvram good 🥀

[raven sonnet]

nvidia quadro something an intel core i 3 i think and like 4 gb of ram

[rain anchor]

i would die

[loud gulch]

can you run eternal

[raven sonnet]

at lowest graphics and still lag the heck out

[rain anchor]

@raven sonnet typing here cuz slowmode in #screenshots . it was just about $4K USD but now its way more cuz the GPU market sucks atm. i got it at a pretty good time

[raven sonnet]

my pc so shit it cant even run indie games at max graphics FRiCKING INDIE GAMES

[rain anchor]

depends on the indie game tho

a game being indie has nothing to do with its performance

[raven sonnet]

dude that would of costed me 6,221 dollars if i bought that

i hate currency differences
