how to switch to melee weapon?

[hard thistle]

in the menu, it's the fist icon.
(Not pause, the one where your map is)

[ornate portal]

E

[real rampart]

it seems like that chest spawned bugged

[frail plaza]

When you're in the inventory menu lookong at your upgrades you go to the melee section nd can change

[hard thistle]

Those two might be right.
That box shouldn't be inside the Gold Chest.

I honestly have never seen that happen

[ornate portal]

its E thanks, it wasnt bugged. What about those red fist armor things?

[frail plaza]

Thats just a melee recharge

[lilac swan]

Melee recharge

[real rampart]

those are refills for the melee, if you are full you can't pick them

[hard thistle]

Those are melee charges

[ornate portal]

thanks 3 of you

[real rampart]

oh btw, little nitpick, completely unimportant too

but I noticed that during the showcase of TDA before launch

the subtitles had the same font as the menus, and for some reason on launch the subtitles have the most generic font ever

very unimportant non-existant issue, but I wish it was the pretty fonts from the menus instead

🤓

[slim crypt]

i love a good subtitle font too i understand it

it comes with the autism brain

[tranquil moss]

i have it yellow

[real rampart]

Im glad you also notice these things

[tranquil moss]

piss yellow specifically

[slim crypt]

give me customizable subtitle fonts and ui

[slim crypt]

you need to serve jail time

[real rampart]

also, add some shadows on them, I don't like background on fonts, but without the background I noticed the fonts are just bland white, no shadows or nothing

[cobalt fog]

Spent 30 minutes trying to kill the Komodo champion with these settings https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/932354406823903314/1376708027289305229/75a3e809-aa91-43c1-b9d2-e31301582dda.png?ex=68364ec3&is=6834fd43&hm=7fbd41dfa6f3b4565a7e758db405b7ca09bbd83927367e5910c90ce36e60b392&

I eventually succeeded

[hard thistle]

Damage to demons higher than 50%.
Weak.

[slim crypt]

not good enough put that parry all the way down

[cobalt fog]

It’s at 500

Oh wait-

that’s the damage to myself

[slim crypt]

this should just be a thing in every game tbh

[hard thistle]

(Immediately degraded by half of chat)

[cobalt fog]

I did right after, thank fuck I learned how to predict every move

[hard thistle]

Jokes aside, good job.

[cobalt fog]

Parrying that shit was a bitch

Smallest parry window possible on a Komodo is SCARY

[ornate portal]

how do u have image perms here

[cobalt fog]

I had already 100%ed all my equipment so I wanted to see what I could do with my free time

[cobalt fog]

We all do

[ornate portal]

no i cant upload sc here

[cobalt fog]

Yes you can

It’s just through links

If I sent something somewhere I can copy the link and paste it

[ornate portal]

i see thx

[cobalt fog]

Did not use melee in the fight at all really because dread mace is broken

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/932354406823903314/1376711471517401128/e94d7d4a-195a-4a03-a73a-a53b2f881633.mov?ex=683651f8&is=68350078&hm=cb1dc914c436e70c73bb8e407ed0e5d0cf270be7cb058f685eb4cee8692d3029&

Also spoiler for anyone who don’t the story

(When you first fight the Komodo)

[visual trail]

i am sad there is no whiplash toy model

[tribal patrol]

god i hate the komodo

[cobalt fog]

I love them

There entire fight is a fun dance

[tribal patrol]

they move so weird so its difficult for me to parry them

[cobalt fog]

But FUCK those projectiles HURT

so many retry’s

[vital rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/kurtz-gif-18061458

[snow pewter]

I feel like TDA sets up Eternal more effectively then it lays the groundwork for 2016 despite taking place before that game

[hard thistle]

How do I do the "thy flesh consumed" challenge without the bfc if not how do I get more ammo since I've entered the final level without any

[vital rapids]

Wow, reverent rocket launcher skin is rather warhammery

[cobalt fog]

Komodo is peak I had fun dying for 30 minutes straight I won’t lie

That music too

[honest vortex]

Also his music on Chapter 14 is God tier

[hard thistle]

Does anyone know how to get the butcher skin pls help

[cobalt fog]

One I’m thinking of is the one you fight the champion in

[cobalt fog]

This one here

[fossil hedge]

Is there not a Nightmare skin for the Atlan and Serrat?

[dark thunder]

WHO are the mfs saying the combat shotgun is better than the super shotgun

cause that's untrue

[hard thistle]

Does anyone have help?

[cobalt fog]

Ehhh

[dark thunder]

yeah it has the armor and burst upgrade but it's not a strong and is absolutely needed when killing things like mancubus and revenants and others

[hard thistle]

It's really good for getting armor

[cobalt fog]

Tbh I think they are both equal, slapping tune up on and maxing it out is BUSTED

Tune up is grossly powerful and getting armor makes it even better

I’d say damage wise super is best

But for multiple situations you can really use the combat for about anything

[patent robin]

the pain of having to go back after not 100%-ing a level is so difficult 😭

[cobalt fog]

And it helps you when you REALLY need it, maxed out one plus maxed out flail is just an armor shower

[hard thistle]

True this is why I need to know how to the reckoning challenges without the bfc

[patent robin]

im doing my nightmare 100% run and i was on chapter 4 or 5 i forgot and literally just missed a little bit of gold and one secret

[dark thunder]

yeah i guess if you want to use the ssg you can supplement the flail for armor

[hard thistle]

Does anyone know how to get the butcher skin pls help

[ornate portal]

which key to crouch?

[patent robin]

i just got it by completing the campaign

hands down my favorite skin

[hard thistle]

Go to the Bethesda site and claim the free bundle.

[gleaming swallow]

DOOOM

[hard thistle]

I thought that's the "Nightmare" skin?

[patent robin]

no youre right im slow

[hard thistle]

Hm.

[patent robin]

theres no crouching in the game

[hard thistle]

Can you replay older missions for bfc ammo? Or is it a one time use?

[ornate portal]

u know?

[hard thistle]

As lost said, no crouching in doom. Only doom 3.

[hard thistle]

That's a good question. I assume so, otherwise a save could run dry out of BFC ammo.forever.

[ornate portal]

oh ok thanks i found an area thought i had to crouch

[hard thistle]

I consider that a multiplayer feature, for when you gotta drop it on someone's body.

[hard thistle]

What would be the best mission for it? But idk if they respawn or not lol

[hard thistle]

Not sure. The most effective mission to check would be the one where you get the BFC. It's the most consistent you'll ever find it lol

I could be wrong but it's worth a shot ig

[hard thistle]

Imma try it now thanks

[hard thistle]

Yeah np, lemme know if they Respawn at all

[hard thistle]

Yea true

[hard thistle]

Did that and still don’t have it

[main wren]

Hello

[hard thistle]

Is the correct account linked with your game, and did you restart your game.

Yup

[vital rapids]

Mine took a while.

[hard thistle]

How long if you don’t mind me asking

[hollow sandal]

Hi, I like doom

[hard thistle]

True.
I'd give it a few days, If it doesn't work contact support.

[honest vortex]

I hate how Whiplashes seem literally invincible when they're slithering

[main wren]

👍

[hard thistle]

Yeah they are exceedingly annoying in this game

I don't feel like they contribute much. Not really interesting to fight.

[honest vortex]

You can't even shield bash them or melee them when they're slithering.

They're like literally untouchable

[main wren]

I just jump at them and punch them

[hard thistle]

Ohhh I know ..
Bane of my UN Melee run.

Stuck waiting for their I-frames to end.

[vital rapids]

Couldn't say how long exactly as it didn't appear for 2-3h, but I slept, did some work then came back and it was there

[main wren]

The ancient city you go to after you ride on the that ancient ones back looks like a necron tomb world

[snow pewter]

I'm so glad I got the Conqueror skins before the adjustment lmao

They must've been keeping track of scrubs like me

[frail plaza]

What did they adjust?

[main wren]

What did they adjust now

[snow pewter]

I'm just referring to the quiet patch last week

[honest vortex]

Also. The game feels like you randomly get insta killed by unclear things like what DOOM 2016 Nightmare did

Don't get me wrong Dark Ages is my favorite DOOM game, but it's just a criticism I have

[main wren]

Oh yeah i know

[main wren]

Understandable

[honest vortex]

It's funny, Eternal's my least favorite of the trilogy, but I feel like it did the best job at making it clear what killed you and you didn't just randomly die for seemingly no reason in Eternal nearly as much as 2016 or TDA

[frail plaza]

You also just die from literally nothing sometimes, had to restart a level once cause a dead mancubus sat on me and killed me

[sweet mist]

Im finding while playing the game that Demons just like 20+ feet away from us have a significant drop in Graphical quality, theyre using a Level of Detail option to decrease graphical quality until we are up close to the Demons. Does anyone know of a config file or an option to change this? Thanks for your time.

[honest vortex]

But yeah Whiplashes kinda do suck ngl.

I don't understand the complete Invulnerability frames and complete evasiveness when they slither design

[frail plaza]

Theres a slider in the graphics section that increases detail for further stuff

[honest vortex]

Sometimes you'll parry at the right time and then stun the demon, and then half a second later you're dead

[sweet mist]

Is that the Texture Pool thing? I already maxxed that one out. Or is it another slider? Thanks for your time btw

[hard thistle]

Yeee that's been kinda getting me here too.

[honest vortex]

It even happens on Ultra Violence for some reason lol

[frail plaza]

Oh the texture pool was what i was talking about, it might just be either your gpu or game drive bot loading fast enough so you see the texture pop in

[hard thistle]

I can't remember what it was but one of the Upscalers did this to me. Can't remember which one.

[hard thistle]

Yeah, Idk if you've tried turning on Hit Indicators in settings, but it helps a lot UV and higher.

(I'm not a big fan of getting killed by ghosts)

[sweet mist]

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up, hopefully i can find a tweak to make it work better. Thank you.

[honest vortex]

Also I love Komodo demons but their programming seems very strange and random at times

[sweet mist]

Ill try it with each upscaler and see which one does the best work, thank you

[main wren]

Is it just me or does ultra nightmare seems easier on dark ages than eternal

[hard thistle]

I found Eternal easier, but also the games kinda busted when you use all its tech

[honest vortex]

To me Dark Ages is actually harder than Eternal.

I find Eternal the easiest out of the new DOOM games by a significant amount

[main wren]

Im playing on ultra nightmare and have already gotten to the ancient city in that beasts back in a day

[drowsy rock]

I played both Eternal and TDA on Normal difficulty, and i find TDA very easy compared to Eternal

[hard thistle]

To me that's the point when the game starts going hog wild. But also also, I have Max projectile speed and 75% damage at all times.

[hollow sandal]

Agreed, most people are finding TDA easier. I don't understand why. Eternal is difficult but fair(balanced) . And flame belch

[main wren]

This is my second run and i always hated the ancient city one it just throws enemies at you non stop

[hard thistle]

Default sliders are pretty easy imo, I think default could be a little harder than it is.

[sweet mist]

I had to lower the parry window to 0 and its still too forgiving lol. Some of these projectiles, its impossible to mess up the parry lol

[hard thistle]

Yeah we need one setting lower on parries

[flat pulsar]

Mancubus facesitting

[sweet mist]

Like youve gotta legit not be paying attention if you fail a parry here. Like talking to someone in another room

[honest vortex]

I can't really compare their Hurt Me Plenty difficulties. Haven't really played Hurt Me Plenty much

[sweet mist]

And this isnt saying dont play on any difficulty you like - but these games are built around Nightmare, then they lower dmg levels, increase health, etc to create the other modes. But these games are built with Nightmare in mind to see how far they can push the combat system, then they reel it in and make it easier for each lower difficulty mode. Play how you want, absolutely - but Nightmare is what the mechanics and tools are built around

[honest vortex]

Eternal got you dash and air mobility spam as well as Chaingun energy shield, the yeethook, as well as much lower damage taken, and resource restacking pinatas everywhere.

It's very easy to restack to full resources whenever you want in Eternal. Due to the absurdly high pinata levels of resource drops all the time, as well as the God mode Chaingun shield. You're basically untouchable in Eternal.

Also deaths are easier to read in Eternal

[main wren]

Genuine question does the doom slayer ever eat

Or is he enternaly hungry

[sweet mist]

He will never eat, he will never sleep - he will never stop.

https://i.imgur.com/169MyVR.gif

[unkempt umbra]

My issue with the difficulty of the game is the quantity of enemies. There could be 2-3 times more demons throughout the game.

[main wren]

Until all is ripped and teared until reality tears

[honest vortex]

"kinda" busted is an understatement

[sweet mist]

Then he rips open a hole to another dimension and nukes it with his fists too.

[main wren]

Yep

He is just to mad to die

[hard thistle]

Yea if you go to the spire of narathul when you go into the bfc cutscene you get full ammo

[honest vortex]

Tbh I felt the arenas in the 2nd half and late game felt similar to Eternal length.

Not as much as the Master Levels and DLCs, but still

[sweet mist]

Like Volgan. Hes so mad he cant die lol

[hard thistle]

Oh and a lot ammo pick ups Too so yes they do respawn on that only I think

[unkempt umbra]

the TTK on most of the mobs is incredibly short. You have to increase the health slider to extend the length of most fights. On default, I can clear a Nightmare encounter in a few minutes. Then there is too much downtime between fights. Only recourse is increasing the sliders but I would rather have more demons to fight than making them harder to kill.

[honest vortex]

I felt Dark Ages had a lot less downtime between fights than Eternal did, but that might just be me I guess

[frail plaza]

Once you get to the ssg most enemies just melt

[honest vortex]

I guess if you're trying to 100% secret and challenge hunt, it can feel like more downtime than Eternal

Since Dark Ages levels are huge

[honest vortex]

Yeah. Most broken SSG in any DOOM game

[lament grove]

i banned myself from using it until i got to the final 3 or 4 chapters it was just too good ngl

[unkempt umbra]

The downtime between fights is one of my minor issues with TDA. I'd rather them just constantly send demons at me.

[frail plaza]

When i got it the first time i thought it was mid cause it was slow......then i saw the light of the ssg shield combo

[lament grove]

just beat the game btw its a 9/10 to me, few nitpicks but peak all the way through

[sweet mist]

You know what i really dig though? The desctrution to the demons in Eternal was great - now, where you shoot them, they get an injury in that exact spot. Looks so dope

[unkempt umbra]

They definitely cut some corners with the kill animations with TDA. Looking back at how you would tear an imp in half in 2016 and the animations feel like a big step down

[sweet mist]

Oh ya, the glory kills are garbage compared to before - but each bullet will pepper skin away

Eternal did that well, but not for basically every projectile that contacts them, theyd have chunks fall off, not more specific damage

[hard thistle]

I miss my absolute favorite glory kill;
Chucking a zombie into a wall then kneeing their head off. Fucking peak.

[sweet mist]

I think theyll return to Glory Kills and Eternal style gameplay for the next one, but, I think theyre gonna make something else before another Doom. 3 in a row is probably more than enough at this point

[hard thistle]

I hope it isn't slayer oriented...

[sweet mist]

Oh ya, he needs a break

[hard thistle]

We have the Slayer Trilogy.
It's time for something new.

Definitely not "Slayer Trilogy: 2"

[sweet mist]

Obviously we all would like to see Quake get its time to shine again and the monstrosities you could make with modern graphics could be fantastic

[unkempt umbra]

Naw, I'll take a new ID album every couple of years 😉

[ornate portal]

i changed the difficulty to hurt me plenty from chapter 3-6 and on 7th i set it to ultra nightmare, but it still shows hurt me plenty?

[unkempt umbra]

I highly recommend everyone plays the album on spotify while playing the game, increases enjoyment by 3.5 doomguys

[ornate portal]

which game soundtrack? Doom eternal or DA

[unkempt umbra]

TDA, of course

[uneven dragon]

but then you lose the dynamic sound

[ornate portal]

i thought game already had music? wym

[unkempt umbra]

Which is the absolute worse in this game

[ornate portal]

yes

[unkempt umbra]

Interestingly enough, playing the album straight off spotify, the album still hits in the right places

[real rampart]

you can't set UN mid game, maybe you selected nightmare

[ornate portal]

tbh i would just play DE Soundtrack

[unkempt umbra]

The dynamic sound is god awful

[real rampart]

UN has to be from start because its permadeath

[ornate portal]

whats after hurt me plenty

[real rampart]

ultra violence

[unkempt umbra]

to each their own, but the TDA soundtrack slaps

[ornate portal]

i selected hurt me plenty then tried to change it to UN. Thats not possible?

[tribal patrol]

playing this game on UN made me realize that fodder are much more dangerous than the bigger dudes

[real rampart]

you can change to ultra violence or nightmare.
Ultra Nightmare is a permadeath difficulty that requires being done on a fresh save file

[hard tusk]

Hi everyone, I need help.

I'm on an Xbox Series X. I launched DOOM: The Dark Ages, and I got to the "Press A" screen, and then I couldn't do anything.

Do you have any ideas or solutions?

Thanks in advance 🙂

PS: I'm translating from French ☺️

[honest vortex]

I don't want to lose Infernal Chasm.

Hell no

[honest vortex]

Infernal Chasm!

[frigid crystal]

is there any plans to fix the platinum in doom dark ages?

[ornate portal]

ill try tomorrow

[ornate portal]

i wish i could help because i know the fix on pc but not console

[delicate grotto]

Parrying Cosmic Barons on the tightest parry window is a pain, lol. Feels great when you get it down though.

[wild rose]

This is such a dope reference
https://youtube.com/shorts/_zegVY3o1_w?si=JH00LVs6oJ8Fxl_-

[wild rose]

It's already pain in the regular one. Their melee attacks are kinda different from the other demons'

[violet lynx]

why don't doom eternal or any doo game have a coop mode for campain?

[haughty elk]

does anyone know if the collectors edition will be back in stock or is it gone for good

[acoustic plover]

Did they change the parry timing on Nightmare?

My shield is fricking up timing is the same as it has been for me and it just doesn't register

[main wren]

Honestly killing ahzarak is fun

[unkempt umbra]

There seems to be situations where you will "parry" but you are essentially late and will get hit anyway

You get the animation and parry sound as if you did it right but still take damage

[acoustic plover]

I've been immaculate with parrrying idk why im struggling. It's in the final level

[unkempt umbra]

Well I just got there on Nightmare so I'll report back if I experience the same thing

[acoustic plover]

I did this on UN yesterday and parryed fine im so confused

[acoustic plover]

Thanks slayer

[harsh briar]

anyone have ideas on how to get game to launch on steam?
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
ASRock Taichi Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6

seems to try and launch but never pops up, i never alt tab, I have updated Drivers AMD 25.1.1

I can see it in background processes in the task manager, but never pops.

[lunar cape]

@hard thistle wasn't Arachnotrons made by UAC from Spider Mastermind's corpse ? How are they back in TDA ? Same for Revenants.

[twilit pumice]

Have both the lovecraftian entities and strogg in one game.
Machine games have been wanting to make a Quake game.

[hard thistle]

Because Dark Ages takes place after Doom 1, 2 & 64

[twilit pumice]

I'm not as familiar with Quake lore as Doom lore.

Maybe the cosmic realm will merge the two series. Still need to collect all codex pages.

[scenic lichen]

Just hit lvl 20

[delicate grotto]

After playing a couple of the cosmic realm levels, I can safely say this is absolutely the best Doom game.

At the very least, it has the best level design in the franchise.

[twilit pumice]

Prolly my favorite modern Doom.

[delicate grotto]

For sure

[tame shale]

this chapter reset bug in my pandi campaign is so irritating

[delicate grotto]

Funny I started out not really loving the game much in the beginning. Mission 5 is where it started to get good, and only improved from there.

[hard thistle]

Only the Arachnotrons of Eternal are made from the 2016 Mastermind's remains. There were Arachnotrons before then.

[scenic lichen]

Fuck dude I love the cosmic realm so much

[mental gate]

there are revenants and arachnotrons in doom 1/2, so obviously there must be some other method of creating arachnotrons

and as for revenants, they are created from the remains of other demons in 1/2 IIRC

Maybe mono can correct me on that if im misremembering

[twilit pumice]

Prolly my favorite modern Doom soundtrack as well.
Love all of Doom but I still have my favorites.

[eager needle]

Hello, so I missed out on the Doom The Dark Ages x Discord quest that gives the Doom Shield deco profile.

What are the odds that the quest & shield would make a comeback?

Or is that no longer possible?

[hard thistle]

I actually can't say I've ever seen a quest come back; but I also don't pay too much attention to them.

[eager needle]

Your profile says you're a project lead?

[hard thistle]

I am, I run a game development studio!

[hard thistle]

Your profile says you're...
fumothuvthuthuvthuthuvthuthuvthu?

[dire bear]

Hello everyone. I'm writing about a problem I'm having when I try to start the game. It tries to log in, but then sends me a message, and I don't know what it means. Could you help me? (aviso de lanzamiento idTech)

[hard thistle]

Unless google translate is dumb, you're getting an IDTech Announcement?

Is there any chance you have the full message it's giving you?

Ohh, thanks for the translation as well

That's a standard message I get when I launch too. I just click play, then continue on as normal.

[dire bear]

I thought it was normal, but when I clicked on "Play," it just closed the tab and didn't open the game. When I tried to open it again, it said it was already running. I've waited about 30 minutes for it to open, but nothing.
Thanks anyway brother

[covert goblet]

Since it's been about a week and a half since release, what would you guys say is your favorite weapon in the dark ages? (Counting shield)

I'll always be a super shotty fanboy, but I LOVE the design and feel of the ravanger, especially against cyberdemons.

[eager needle]

You said it. Shield.

[granite jewel]

Shield, parrying, ravager, cosmic realm

[covert goblet]

genius.

[mighty wolf]

hi, my laptop can't run doom the dark ages so i was thinking of using one of those cloud gaming services to play the game, has anyone tried to play it that way? and did it run well? and which service did you use?

[ocean cloak]

Idk who I talked to in here about this before but I figured out what happened with my Bethesda account. I got eternal and it shows the email of the account that is linked. It never asked me to log in or anything and the account it automatically linked has my ex gf email 😂 I submitted a support ticket to hopefully get them to unlink that one and link mine so I can finally get my rewards in dark ages

[harsh briar]

I cant even get the game to launch

[ocean cloak]

They have a website with a bunch of know issues/troubleshooting help I can try to find it for you. It shows a menu pop up everytime I open the game on pc for it

[harsh briar]

Yep , I wish any of those were relevant / worked

[ocean cloak]

https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en-US/article/doom-the-dark-ages-troubleshooting-guide

[tribal patrol]

the super shot gun

[harsh briar]

I've submitted a ticket as well. Brand new PC, 3 weeks old. Have all drivers, etc etc yada yada

[ocean cloak]

Do you have nvidia gpu by chance

[harsh briar]

nope , AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
ASRock Taichi Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6

seems to try and launch but never pops up, i never alt tab, I have updated Drivers AMD 25.1.1

I can see it in the background in processes but the main window never pops up. I only have 1 monitor

[ocean cloak]

Bc nvidia latest drivers have had some bad issues

Oh I have 9070 on 25.5.1

[harsh briar]

Yep. me too. It launches but never pops up.

[ocean cloak]

Did you enable fsr3 frame Gen before? I know that freeze my game every time and I have to disable it from config

[harsh briar]

in the game or in amd

[ocean cloak]

In the game settings

[harsh briar]

Brother I can't even get into the game itself

I hit launch on steam and it never even pops up.

[ocean cloak]

Idk I wish I could help I haven’t had any issues though so I really do not know. I play on pc game pass version

[velvet elbow]

Y’all what’s good about Expedition 33? I hate turn based games so I need a 2nd opinion

[harsh briar]

Yeah idk what to say - nothing i've tried works

[velvet elbow]

If you own it, you can play it through GeForce now without an issue

[harsh briar]

Great, but I don't have an nvbidia gpu

[velvet elbow]

You don’t need one

[harsh briar]

Why would I play it on a virtual PC

[velvet elbow]

It’s just an option i don’t know anything about specs

[harsh briar]

Idiotic

[velvet elbow]

Just tryna help any way I can, I guess

[harsh briar]

I'd sooner spin up an AWS VM and run the game on 5 pc'

it's such a strange issue that it launches as a background process, i get no screen or audio etc.

[velvet elbow]

I just discovered GeForce Now today, and being on a low end pc, I can actually play high end games, I am pretty happy, and it syncs with steam and Xbox library

[real rampart]

from what I heard its the story and gameplay, so if you don't like turn based RPG there's a likely chance you won't like the game

[velvet elbow]

Well yeah, but I am just tryna figure out what makes it GOTY worthy

[real rampart]

it has a good gameplay with a good story

pretty much what a game needs to be goty material

[velvet elbow]

Idk, Astro Bot winning last year shows story isn’t too much of a factor

[real rampart]

but that has a very good gameplay

[velvet elbow]

You right, 100%

[real rampart]

not necessarily its required a good story, but then E33 seems to do both very well

[velvet elbow]

Idk, this year is gonna be a tough year

We got peak dropping left and right

[lunar cape]

Thanks !

[velvet elbow]

Like bro, 3 fucking days until Nightreign

And October 2nd is Ghost of Yotei

But I am decently confident Doom will win

[real rampart]

def wont, like, the game is great, but its far from a GOTY

[velvet elbow]

Not because of anything special, but because Shooters are the most prevalent game out there

And game pass, sheer numbers

[real rampart]

for goty we have to be objective about what consists a game winning it, and TDA has enough shortcomings to remove it from a GOTY worthy game

[velvet elbow]

Fair

We’ll have to see what happens for the next few months

[real rampart]

like E33 is rn sitting on 92 on metascore, and 9.7 user score, that is absurdly high

[velvet elbow]

It’ll probably take it then

[ocean cloak]

Kcd2 deserve goty imho

[velvet elbow]

Eh, I shouldn’t care too much, I’m here I’m having fun

Last of is II made me care less about GOTY stuff

[real rampart]

its what matters, goty hardly matters at all and if it consistitutes as a base for people to play somethign then they are more interested in adhering with what people tell them its good than making their own minds about what they actually want to play

[velvet elbow]

But last year was nice, we had all these AAA titles being released, high graphics, fast gameplay, and the winner was just some goofy lil guy

[ocean cloak]

SOTE deserved goty last year :D

[velvet elbow]

That’s true, mob mentality bro. It sucks

[real rampart]

well, for starters good graphics are def not and should never be what constitutes a good video game

[velvet elbow]

As much as I love Elden Ring, it had it’s own shortcomings that did not justify GOTY

[velvet elbow]

People don’t realize that

[real rampart]

no game is perfect, but which has the least amount of shortcomings

[ocean cloak]

I dont know any shortcoming in SOTE

[velvet elbow]

Too many fucking fragments n shit

[ocean cloak]

No flaws. Perfect dlc that was better than almost every full game released last year imo

[velvet elbow]

I am glad Doom is fixing their game, improving it

[ocean cloak]

I’m a bit biased though I guess idk guess that’s why there is voting lol

[velvet elbow]

We all got a bias, but me having played astrobot day 1, it really did deserve GOTY, it was so fun and there was never a low point

Every area and tool was just so fun to use and play around in

And the use of the controller just made it so much fun, and pushing the ps5 to the max

[ocean cloak]

Kinda just a rip off super Mario Galaxy imo lol but at least it was fun

[velvet elbow]

Why be able to see every pore on John Protag’s asscheek when you could have 50,000,000 acorns

[twilit pumice]

Nowadays can't help but feel repulsed by the words good graphics. Cuz usually it's casuals going off about ultra realism visual snooze fest.

[velvet elbow]

Fuckin striker 2

[ocean cloak]

I spoiled myself with my latest hardware purchases so I can’t really play games with bad graphics anymore :/ thankfully basically all games now look amazing

[real rampart]

for me SOTE should never ever have been a contender, its GOTY not DLCOTY

[ocean cloak]

Even some older games like Witcher 2 I am impressed by how good it looks. And original oblivion

[real rampart]

GOTY should be given to full fledge new video games

[velvet elbow]

You right, that’s why I didn’t vote it

[ocean cloak]

When dlc is better or at least just as good as the best games released that year I’d say it is fair

[real rampart]

nah, it doesnt matter how good it is

[velvet elbow]

“Good graphics” aren’t an achievement, it’s an art style, and one that’s done too much

[real rampart]

its still a dlc, and not a full game. It requires you to have access to an entire different game to play it

[ocean cloak]

That dlc has as much content or more content than a lot of recent games

[real rampart]

its not about size of content

[ocean cloak]

Well, I’m sure people consider that when voting. Among other things

[real rampart]

if that was the case most rpgs would win GOTY because they offer 100h of game compared to linear shorter games

[velvet elbow]

It’s the principle, if we include a dlc more dlc’s are gonna be included, and then it’s just a mess

[ocean cloak]

They just allowed dlc in last year. I am sure they will do same this year. If there is dlc good enough that is

[real rampart]

then if thats the case automatically every game that has 90-100h of content would win the award instead of a 20-30h game

[ocean cloak]

That’s not what I said at all

[real rampart]

imo DLCs should not be included at all, but well it is what it is

[velvet elbow]

We should just complain louder, that will do something

[real rampart]

you said "the dlc has as much content or more content than a lot of recent games" which implies that the amount of hours of content indicates if its a better game

[ocean cloak]

Anyway I don’t want to get in trouble for not talking about doom

[real rampart]

fair

[terse hollow]

🤣🤣 I don't think I've ever seen that happen

Unless you get political or heated about it

[velvet elbow]

HEY MODS THEY AREN’T TALKING ABOUT DOOM, GET THEM

[ocean cloak]

That’s how just about every server I ever been in has been

[fossil lion]

The gold skins look fire

[delicate grotto]

Eternal had its best shot with how many trends and memes spouted from it during Covid, and it still didn’t win. In fact, it didn’t win a lot of its nominations.
Each year a Doom game comes out a lot of other heavy hitters do too, and usually titles that are more mainstream.

[velvet elbow]

What won 2016 again?

[delicate grotto]

Overwatch

[velvet elbow]

Dafuq?

[fossil lion]

As much as I love TDA I don’t see it winning over Expedition 33

[velvet elbow]

Well I just hope so, but in the end I don’t care

If it does get GOTY we might get a cool skin

[fossil lion]

Yeah it’s always nice to see favorites win but it’s not the biggest thing

[velvet elbow]

Hey I need one of y’all to reply to any of my messages at about 9:30, I gotta take some money out of my stocks

EST

[twilit pumice]

Older Final Fantasy 1-6 still looks amazing today

[delicate grotto]

I’d love to see TDA win too, or at least win a couple of categories. Mainly for the devs who worked hard on the game. Seeing the id team get recognition for that would be awesome.
It likely won’t win GOTY though. Not that the Game Awards should be taken seriously anyways…

[mental gate]

"amazing" is a very very strong word for an NES game

[terse hollow]

I don't see expiditon 33 winning at all. Its still way to early and there are alot of people who just despise the game. But it's forsure the most likely right now

[velvet elbow]

Well who knows, RDR2 was really fucking good and didn’t win

[delicate grotto]

Definitely not my cup of tea but to each their own.

[terse hollow]

Yeah I don't like the type of game lol, don't despise it but im never gonna try it

[twilit pumice]

Does Castlevania look like shit?

[delicate grotto]

I just don’t like that genre of game. Has nothing to do with that one in particular.

[terse hollow]

I've watched enough streams of it and stuff to know it's not my kinda game

[mental gate]

yes? its the NES lol.

[velvet elbow]

I just don’t like turn based combat. That’s why I stay away from twitter arguements

[fossil lion]

I can see it winning because in the end, it’s really just the critics votes who count and I think all the reviews from journalists were positive

[delicate grotto]

Hot take: I don’t think the modern God of War games are all that great. They’ve got some great storytelling and cinematography, but the gameplay is pretty standard. It’s nothing all that special. I prefer how the older games played

[terse hollow]

Who knows bl4 or something could be just as amazing and win over even more people since they're already a beloved franchise and a popular genre. But obviously that won't release in time

[velvet elbow]

I’ve played both, really fun, really unique combat, maybe in retrospect not GOTY worthy but always fun to do new stuff with

[fossil lion]

I’m not gonna touch that take, I couldn’t stand the clunky controls of 1 and ascension

[terse hollow]

Something like that though is what i think will end up happening and winning

[velvet elbow]

any of y’all got like $10, I need moneh

[twilit pumice]

Well Tbf, not everyone is gonna like the same graphics.
Shit, tried showing my brother blasphemous. Didn't think it looked great either.

[terse hollow]

I agree, both the new and old gow games are amazing. One for the awesome world and feeling and the other for the combat and originality. I think both are pretty damn good

Not the same but remasters never are and shouldn't be

Remakes*

[delicate grotto]

I really liked God of War 2018, don’t get me wrong. I think it’s fun. I just preferred the older mechanics. A lot of games are obsessed with tight, over the shoulder camera views, and ridged “realistic” movement. I don’t see why God of War needed to transition to that.
Doom 2016 did a good job modernizing its roots.
I wish GOW 2018 did the same.

[velvet elbow]

There are a few games that I think need(ed) remasters. Mafia Definitive Edition and Bloodborne for example

[delicate grotto]

I was replaying some Bloodborne before TDA dropped. Great game. Would love to see a remaster, I agree.

[velvet elbow]

GOD DAMN IT SONY GIVE ME MY FUCKING BLOODBORNE

LET ME TASTE THE OLD BLOOD YOU RICH EGOTISTICAL SACKS OF SHIT

[fossil lion]

Mafia 1 and 2 are great, never played 3

[mental gate]

IDK man, i dont think you can say any NES game looks "Amazing". Its way way too limited by the hardware. SNES is where i can see that being said. Secret of mana and Chrono Trigger both have incredible pixel art and environment design, and Donkey Kong Country and Star Fox are both very impressive from a technical standpoint, though neither has aged well.

[terse hollow]

Speaking of i hate that everyone keeps calling the new switch game bloodborne 2. From what it looks like its a multi-player souls like ish game, maybe it slightly looks like bloodborne but it doesn't look like it'll play anything like it

I want a real bloodborne 2 damnit

[velvet elbow]

It is not bloodborne too but i think it will have the same feel. Fucking monkey’s paw bullshit

[delicate grotto]

The only thing that looks Bloodborne about it is the art style.

[mental gate]

open world?? theyve already said its a pvp multiplayer game

[velvet elbow]

3rd one’s gameplay sucks but the story is peak

[terse hollow]

Sorry i meant to say multi-player souls like game, I'll fix that 🤣

[wispy parrot]

its a more grounded story and they wanted gameplay to reflect that, you are far from the Kratos when he was younger.

[velvet elbow]

From Software actually did a pretty good job with a multiplayer soulsborne. I got to play the Beta of Nightreign and it was REALLY fun, hard as balls tho

[delicate grotto]

Yeah that’s a fair point.

[terse hollow]

If is just a co op then maybe that would make sense but it looked like its multiplayer 24/7 or some crap. Idk, obviously I only saw the trailer

[velvet elbow]

Just trust the process bro, FS has never released mid

[terse hollow]

The fact that they agreed to another exclusive is bad enough though 😅

[velvet elbow]

Rent was due bro 😭

Maybe that means we’ll get an exclusive for every console

Everyone wins(?)

[terse hollow]

No...

I'm with Microsoft on this one 😅

[velvet elbow]

Come on man I gotta find some justification

And didn’t Sony just acquire the company that owns FS?

[terse hollow]

Plus we all know how greedy Nintendo is

[velvet elbow]

Bro let me have HOPE

[terse hollow]

"Bloodborne 2" forgot what it's actually called lmao, will end up being $80 base price

But it'll probably be on pc for free at least, most switch 1 games got cracked and works on emulators

Free amibos for days

[velvet elbow]

I mean I can pirate switch games to my pc I’ll just pirate switch 2 games

[terse hollow]

Legal, against their tos but still legal 😂

[velvet elbow]

The fuck they gonna do? They don’t own AMD they gonna confiscate my pc?

Okay I’ve been laughing my ass off because some guy posted about an issue they are having with their Xbox not working and on the table is dried hot glue but it sure as shit doesn’t look like it

[mental gate]

When emulators come out, and IF your pc can run it.

[velvet elbow]

I’ll find a way

[honest vortex]

Honest question.

Am I going through a phase, or did Dark Ages completely ruin 2016 for good to me?

[twilit pumice]

Tried sacrificing your left nut and newborn for Bloodborne 2?

[velvet elbow]

Did more than that, I’m a woman now

[honest vortex]

Eternal never ruined 2016.

Eternal made me like 2016 even more, because 2016 with quick swap combos makes it feel like a brand new game.

But after Dark Ages, 2016 feels so bland, clunky, and even aesthetically uninspired (even though 2016 USED to be my #1 aesthetically)

But Dark Ages didn't just ruin 2016 for me, it also ruined Eternal.

[honest vortex]

Will I love DOOM 2016 again? 😦 I hope I will.

I hope it's just a phase that'll pass

I don't want Dark Ages to be the ONLY modern DOOM game I currently like nowadays

Classic DOOMs are still fun after Dark Ages on the other hand

[terse hollow]

This is how I felt about rdr1 after playing rdr2 lmao

Tried replying it again a few months ago. Still feels to clunky, ended up replaing rdr2

[honest vortex]

Understandable. Red Dead 2 is vastly superior in every way tbh

I can't think of a single thing I like better about RDR1 actually

Wait no, there is one thing....

[terse hollow]

I can't think of any off the top of my head lmao, the only thing rdr1 did better for me was the nostalgia

[honest vortex]

John Marston has a better model as a playable character in Red Dead 1

In Red Dead 2, they lazied up on his playable model and made him mixed with Arthur

[terse hollow]

I kinda prefer his look in the second game tbh

[honest vortex]

I just mean the playable character model.

Not his story mode and cutscene model

He has two completely different models in the same game

The playable version is like a weird Arthur Morgan hybrid that doesn't really look much like John tbh

[proper veldt]

Hi, I'm having a problem with the Berserker trophy on Playstation. Does anyone know anything or can help me? I already completed it but it doesn't give me the achievement : (

[honest copper]

I'm on chapter 10

so good so far

[fickle gorge]

Did anyone else get this random glitch when getting the ravager gun

[fickle gorge]

Idk if this counts as a spoiler

[twilit pumice]

Doom 4 felt more clunky to me during my recent playthrough.
Doesn't help that I enjoy Eternal's and TDA combat more. There's much more depth in these games than Doom 4.
Button mapping feels awful on controller. Which isn't an issue in either Eternal or TDA.

I got the glory kill movement speed boost rune asap cuz of how slow we are in 2016. Classic Doom, Doom Absolution aka 64, and Doom 3 are all faster. And Doom 3 is in enclosed spaces all throughout the game.

Doom 4 is simplistic and fun combat wise, but classic Doom is more fun and has more depth while also being simplistic.

I still love Doom 4's story for the dynamic between Samuel Hayden and Doom Marine. And Doom 4 helped set up the stepping stones for our current story.

Still a very visually pleasing game. And has my third favorite iteration of the plasma rifle.

[uneven dragon]

i enjoyed doom 2016 just as much on a replay tbh

[worldly sun]

played a 2nd playthrough to try the berserker achievement cause it didnt give it to me the first time but still didnt get it :(

[hard thistle]

So would a young "Cthulhu" still be an old one?

[uneven dragon]

is this not better suited for spoiler chat

[honest vortex]

Bruv I'm replaying the Cosmic Realm and this game is ridiculously hard. How the hell do people find Eternal harder than this game?

Eternal's literally the easy one lol

[uneven dragon]

they did make the game harder recently tbf

most people said eternal was harder before they buffed the difficulty of this game a bit

[honest vortex]

Did they make it SIGNIFICANTLY harder?

[thin zinc]

i find this game way easier than eternal. i think i click with the shield really well

[uneven dragon]

if you already weren't getting hit it hasn't gotten harder but if you were getting hit a bit it's way worse

[thin zinc]

im on level 20 on nightmare

[honest vortex]

Everything one shots you now even on Ultra Violence

It feels like DOOM 2016 Nightmare on steroids

Agaddon Hunters honestly feel ridiculously overtuned atm

[copper turtle]

dark ages on chapter 9 keeps crashing for me on series x

[tight canopy]

Any word on when Berserker achievement will be fixed?

[honest vortex]

Eternal's ridiculously easy to me.

The dash, Meathook, Chaingun shield and ridiculously high resource drops make you untouchable.

Not to mention blood punch chains, and enemies/demons do SIGNIFICANTLY less damage in Eternal than they do in Dark Ages

[copper turtle]

I think its a bit harder

[honest vortex]

Also I get the feeling that they removed the death prevention feature in the new patch.

Literally NEVER drop to 5 health anymore.

Just insta death all the time

Either that or Dark Ages is just INSANELY buggy

I'm not sure

[copper turtle]

dark ages is buggy asf

sounds are glitched, weps are invisible

[real rampart]

its not that they removed it, you still get to 5hp its just the game never had a grace period. In Eternal it puts you on 5hp but gives you 2 seconds of invulnerability.
TDA does have the 5hp rule but you don't get an invulnerability (grace period), so if something drops you to 5hp and half a second later you get hit again, it will kill you

[honest vortex]

I find both Eternal AND Dark Ages very buggy.

2016 wasn't all that buggy though

[honest vortex]

But I get killed by literally the same attack

Like even a simple Agaddon Hunter melee attack will kill me

[mental gate]

they reduced it a LOT

Allstin talks about it in their newest video.

[mental gate]

I have had 0 issues like that. all my problems have been performance and stability issues

[wheat sigil]

2 second invulnerability??😭
no

[mystic patrol]

I finished my second playthrough of TDA last night, on nightmare. It was pure fucking cinema

[loud gulch]

too many mick dick eaters in the doom community. Literally every song that comes after him is thrown to the wolves. FM wasnt even that bad tho, personally, i think its better than both eternal and 2016. DLC was also done really well, but nobody complained about hushult and levy. But somehoww theyre criticizing fm because theyre "not mick gordon"? like ????????

[real rampart]

1 second? i dont recall the precise time

[mystic patrol]

Because they are filthy fanboys that always praised dusk, doom1&2 ost remakes by hulshult. It’s really disgusting to throw under the bus the composers just because they are not mick and hulshult even though their work is amazing

[uneven dragon]

if you went back in time and showed someone atlan battleground and didnt mention it wasnt mick theyd say mick made it

[mystic patrol]

And the list could go on

[loud gulch]

i really fucking agree. And the really funny part about it is that people who critique fms songs for not being mick is just trying to blend in to look good. They probably havent even played tda yet.

[sharp moat]

it rlly is imo the fault of this game’s audio issues

[mystic patrol]

Its okay to have ost preferences, but respect the art man

[wheat sigil]

may be one for 300 ms
(500ms on ITYTD and HMP)

[loud gulch]

if i showed a hardcore doom fan tda gameplay for the first time in their lives and i told them it was mick gordon, im pretty sure theyd believe me

like 90-95% sure

[uneven dragon]

theyve fixed it slightly now at least

[real rampart]

i see i see

[mystic patrol]

Honestly? When they held that extended gameplay event by microsoft back in january, I thought they got back in good terms with mick. Until they mentioned it was FM and my jaw dropped

[wheat sigil]

take dis
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/504714848194527236/1265756830915625132/image.png

[sharp moat]

My personal issues with finishing move are irrelevant with Doom. Im not really a fan of their work imitating the OST’s of some games.

[loud gulch]

YEAH. i was shocked too (in a really good way), it brought me hope that we are still in good hands after all

[loud gulch]

is there like a config to tune slowmo?

[real rampart]

ah its less than, ok thats good to know

never knew the precise timing

[wheat sigil]

hm?

[drifting steppe]

We need more Slayer skins with an option to enable or disable the cape.

[loud gulch]

where did you find that

[real rampart]

thats not from TDA

[loud gulch]

the image*

[real rampart]

thats from Eternal

[loud gulch]

OH mb

[real rampart]

I wanted to know the precise timing for the brink of death invulnerability

[loud gulch]

urh okay

[fathom jacinth]

Hi why does my nividia say 98% temp on gpu and on task manager 50% ?

[real rampart]

% for temperature?

[fathom jacinth]

Yes

What can i trust ?

[real rampart]

i dont think thats the temperature if its %

it can say fahrenheit or celcius

[fathom jacinth]

Oh mb

Im dumb xd

Its temp

[real rampart]

ok, then im going to assume 98f cause if thats celcius your graphic card is gone

[eager needle]

Welp, time to wait for Saw Shield profile deco to back in... (who knows when).

[fathom jacinth]

So is it task manager that is right ?

On other games i get like 50 temp normal

50 60

[real rampart]

what games?

cause 50f is like barely using your graphics card

[fathom jacinth]

On doom eternal

And with max settings

[real rampart]

can you provide a screenshot of both temperatures? cause your graphic card at 10 celcius / 50 fahrenheit sounds weird

[fathom jacinth]

I can need to go to work first

I can msg you later

[real rampart]

alright

which graphic card you got?

[fathom jacinth]

RTX 4080 super

And the best CPU

Dont remeber the name

[real rampart]

I think you are mistaking usage with temp

[cerulean wave]

is the dark ages good

[real rampart]

because there's no way that your graphics card sits at 50f

[fathom jacinth]

Oh on doom ?

[real rampart]

on anything

[fathom jacinth]

78 then

Last time i played

[real rampart]

without even playing a game, the temp should be sitting between 86f and 104f

[fathom jacinth]

Is it normal temp ?

[real rampart]

yes

[fathom jacinth]

So i Dont need to worry

[real rampart]

no, if its saying 98f when you are not playing something its the normal temperature

[fathom jacinth]

Its normal for the temp to be High when playing big games

[real rampart]

yes

[fathom jacinth]

Ah thanks for letting me know 👍🏻

[real rampart]

the more the game demands of the graphics card the more the graphic card will work therefore increasing temp

[fathom jacinth]

Always gets nervers when the temp is high

And its Smooth for me

The gameplay. On dtda

0 fps drop

[real rampart]

the acceptable limit is around 172F

if it gets above that then you should start getting worried about the temperature

[fathom jacinth]

is 98 fine?

[real rampart]

yes, like I said, 98F is the normal iddle temperature

when you start a game it will increase, and the heavier the game is the more it will increase. As long as it doesnt surpass 172F when playing/using heavy graphical software its acceptable

[fathom jacinth]

What do you get ?

[real rampart]

Im getting 34 celcius (93F) with no games open

[fathom jacinth]

What graphics Card ?

[real rampart]

rtx 4070ti super

[fathom jacinth]

Is it Better then mine ?

[real rampart]

yours is a 4080 super right?

[fathom jacinth]

Yes

[real rampart]

its a bit better than mine

[fathom jacinth]

Upgraded my pc from a gtx lol

[candid jay]

dang big upgrade

[fathom jacinth]

My whole pc

[wispy parrot]

Has Hugo said anything about co-op pve

[fathom jacinth]

I glad i did before dtda

[real rampart]

same, I had a gtx 1660

[fathom jacinth]

Or else i could not play it

[real rampart]

nope

[wispy parrot]

I like how ID was trying so hard to make eternal coop pve but scrapped the idea the very next game

Like come on I want 2 slayers on one map mowing demons

[real rampart]

when were they trying that?

[fathom jacinth]

I hope there Will be a optine to turn of Ray tracing in the future

[gilded coral]

rs

[real rampart]

there prob won't

[wispy parrot]

2021-2022, Hugo talks about it in a few livestreams

[gilded coral]

my 2070super is tryin his best to keep up with 27fps

[honest vortex]

Okay ya know what. I think it was just that encounter I replayed

[real rampart]

are you using DLSS?

[gilded coral]

i didnt remember

[honest vortex]

I think the main problem with Dark Ages difficulty is its so inconsistent and random

[fathom jacinth]

Is dlss good to use ?

[real rampart]

like, you have a better card than the minimium required, you should be able to make the game run on a consistent 60fps

[wispy parrot]

You don’t like invis enemies sneak hitting you dealing 70% of your health?

[gilded coral]

but my monitor is 4k maybe thats why
but if i set pixelation to lower my graphic became trash af and i cant even tell difference between demons and wall

[real rampart]

its basically mandatory

[honest vortex]

Sometimes it's the hardest DOOM game ever, then it goes to being the easiest DOOM game, then it's the hardest DOOM game again

[fathom jacinth]

Ah

[real rampart]

if you want to double your fps

[wispy parrot]

Final boss was just parry simulator lol

[gilded coral]

i need buy sum HD monitor

[fathom jacinth]

If i do i get 200 fps or something Dont rember

[honest vortex]

Difficulty spikes are random.

I think Cosmic Realm has a lot of extremely difficult encounters for example.

But at the same time Cosmic Realm has a lot of piss easy encounters

[fathom jacinth]

I can only do 2x

[remote thunder]

here's a very specific detail: pinkies still ignore brink of death

it's entirely avoidable bullshit but it's still bullshit

[fathom jacinth]

Parry in games are Fun

[remote thunder]

their charge and close range bites just go right through one shot prevention, what a great design choice that is

[fathom jacinth]

I had the same to

[honest vortex]

There's no logical difficulty progression.

It will decide when it wants to be extremely hard, and then it will decide to be extremely easy

It has like a difficulty level crisis

[fathom jacinth]

It couldnt even run Minecraft that good lol

[honest vortex]

I don't think Eternal ever reaches the peaks of how hard Dark Ages can get, not even close even.

But the difficulty in Eternal remains fairly consistent, has reasonably telegraphed difficulty spikes, and fairly logical difficulty progression.

[honest vortex]

I still like Dark Ages more than Eternal by a landslide even, but some things about its design really don't make a lick of sense (but then again literally every DOOM game does plenty of design choices that don't make a lick of sense.)

[gilded coral]

i hope next doom game will be The Dark Ages 2 with story of Valen's betray and argent civil war etc..

[remote thunder]

get rid of this shit and set nightmare brink of death cd to like 10 seconds (eternal's is 7.5) and my life is yours

[honest vortex]

Pinky bites going crazy since D2016 (technically since Classic DOOM when you have fast monsters enabled).

iD tradition I suppose.

[real rampart]

I hope the next Doom is a full fledged survival horror like Doom 3 (jk)

but I would appreciate more horror tones like from Doom 64

[fringe jewel]

Anyone know why I can’t play the game on gamepass. I meet minimum requirements and everything yet it decides to freeze after the intro logos.

Yeah

They really made it the most tedious thing ever

[grave scroll]

Advice for two barons at the same time?

[hard thistle]

kill them both

[grave scroll]

ik that but i mean how to keep one away so i can fight the other

[hard thistle]

you fight both at the same time bro

if it's too hard (pause) use the bfc but it's manageable without it

[grave scroll]

thx

[neon perch]

Imma be real the Cycler really does suck.

Which is wild to say in a Doom game where all the weapons are really good and viable.

This shit snuck up outta 2016 and Eternal because it's bad.

[honest vortex]

It's my favorite DOOM game and probably my favorite FPS in general.

But some choices they did with the game are.... strange

Not true. The movies

[fringe jewel]

why they make it so complicated just to play the damn game. multibillion dollar company can't optimize a game to run normally

[eager needle]

So does the Doomslayer The Dark Ages mini toy figure also come with spinning shield and bobbling head?

[hasty stone]

Hugo is on stream tonight I think

[mystic patrol]

It runs though?

[fringe jewel]

nope

[mystic patrol]

Just do not play on ultra nightmare on min req?

[fringe jewel]

freezes as soon as i launch

[mystic patrol]

Do you have a ryzen cpu?

[fringe jewel]

yeah

[mystic patrol]

I have ryzen too but didnt encounter this. There are 2 workarounds

[fringe jewel]

fully updated for everything

[mystic patrol]

does ur cpu have integrated graphics?

[mental gate]

if you cant even get into the game it has nothing to do with optimization

god i hate how that word has lost all meaning for modern gamers

[fringe jewel]

i have had maybe three times and it has crashed all three times

[minor coral]

bro dark ages hasnt been working for me since the upd

crashing on the title screen

[mystic patrol]

Does your cpu have an igpu inside? If you do not know for sure, you could tell us the model you have and I could check for it

[mental gate]

why do that? Just open up task manager and go to performance and see if there are two GPU's listed there

[fringe jewel]

amd ryzen 7 5700x

dont think it does

[mental gate]

it does not.

[fringe jewel]

disabled both

i had 3

[mental gate]

what

[fringe jewel]

only had primary gpu enabled

[uneven dragon]

which one is that one again

[mental gate]

why do you have 3 dgpus lmfao

[mystic patrol]

What gpu do you have?

[fringe jewel]

one was meta virtual desktop

one was my old 1660 and the primary is my brand new 4060

[mental gate]

im confused, why would that show up as a gpu in task manager?

[frail plaza]

Where you able ro play the gamr before or is this first time

[fringe jewel]

display port

[mental gate]

so what do you use the 1660 for? LS?

[mystic patrol]

Hmm. Okay. Are you on win 11? If so, try forcing doom tda to use the rtx 4060 from the graphics tab

[fringe jewel]

no 10

[mystic patrol]

I do not remember how to do this on 10

[mental gate]

then do the same using nvidia control panel

[fringe jewel]

did that

1660 isnt even on anymore

[frail plaza]

When it crashes is it right after the logos?

[fringe jewel]

yeah

[frail plaza]

Do you have clip recording software in the background like medal? If you do try disabling it

[fringe jewel]

already closed

[frail plaza]

Is it fully closed tho? Need to close it from task manager or the task bar tray next to the sounds icon or itll just be running in the background

[mystic patrol]

You could try verifying or reinstalling visual c++ redistributables

[fringe jewel]

All closed

It worked when I switched accounts for a minute and now I’m in the menu

[frail plaza]

What upscaler do you have enabled

[neon perch]

Double barrel plasma.

[delicate stirrup]

The enemy variety is insane

[fringe jewel]

I don’t remember and I’m not alt tabbing to check

[uneven dragon]

oh i thought that one was good

[frail plaza]

The upscaler in the games graphics settings

[uneven dragon]

if you do the shock upgrades and use the lightning shield then it's so much damage

[mystic patrol]

Is your game going over budget vram? It shows in the graphics tab in the game what is the vram budget

[frail plaza]

Cauze i had a problem with this yesterday and for me atleast it was cause medal fucked with the upscalers that wasnt TAA so it might be something similar to your problem

[fringe jewel]

It’s working so far so I’m not gonna tempt it

[rocky badger]

Is Hugo doing another playthrough today?

[mystic patrol]

I also recommend digital foundry recommended settings for 8gb vram gpus. It works like butter on my rtx 4060 laptop

[fringe jewel]

Nvm that was a solid fun minute of playtime

Seriously I hope they fix this soon

[mystic patrol]

Did you check the graphics tab?

And the vram budget? It shows in the right down corner

[fringe jewel]

Last time I touched the graphics tab it crashed

[fringe jewel]

8gb

[mystic patrol]

Well there might be your issues. Shadows should be set to low, and the max vram buffer set manually to 2048 or lower. 1536 is fine as well. For more details check digital foundry’s video regarding what settings you should play on 8gb

[fringe jewel]

Did that stuff let’s see

[hasty stone]

I keep forgetting to use cypher lol

Grenade launcher is kinda fun

[fringe jewel]

Another short moment even with those settings

[arctic dirge]

Currently the jump only run of Doom TDA isn't possible so I'm doing a shield only run instead. Can't fire weapons or melee

[north leaf]

watching someone who edited the only thing they fear on top of the last boss fight in TDA and its so amazing and makes me realize how much my enjoyment of eternal was partly the soundtrack

[thin zinc]

can you post that video?

[eager needle]

Is the mini figure not coming along with the spinning shield?

[frail plaza]

Soundtracks really makes the game so many would feel boring as fuck without the music

[thin zinc]

have you ever seen that video of the shower scene in Psycho with no music? music is 80% of the scene

[dire sonnet]

Is it possible to get a parry from simultaneous 2 knights attacks?

[rapid parcel]

I saw a video on tiktok ranking the weapons and this dude put the impaler at the bottom and i knew the rest of the video sucked ass

[frail plaza]

im guessing the chainshot was put at the top

[mystic patrol]

Did that a few times on nightmare

Their frames were so close that both got parried

[rapid parcel]

It was 2nd or 3rd but ssg was at 1

[north leaf]

[lone scarab]

what if in the DLC Doomguy gets a companion spirit but instead of a wolf like every other Sentinel it's the dead rabbit from the first Doom

https://tenor.com/view/giant-fatass-bnuuy-bunny-bnuuy-rabbit-rabbit-whatever-gif-15720990188084548831

[neon perch]

Anyone pointed out the reveal trailer and the gameplay reveal stream both feature footage of levels that aren't in the final game?

[lone scarab]

he can summon it like the Marauders

[lone scarab]

it's a trailer, everything's subject to change. probably got cut considering this is the only Doom game without some kind of summoner enemy since the first Doom

[lone scarab]

pain elementals were in 64

they didn't spawn Lost Souls in that?

[neon perch]

Those don't really count as summoner types.

[mellow crater]

Either they were cut out or were moved to DLC

I wonder how they're gonna update TDA

[thin zinc]

Ii didnt notice. Im interested. What is in the trailer that was cut?

[uneven dragon]

why not

[uneven dragon]

pretty sure an atlan factory level got cut

the rest are all recognisable tho

[frail plaza]

whats the fastest way to kill a komodo?

[minor coral]

dreadmace on 1000% damage modifier

[split gate]

This was a good review

[quasi lion]

Please, watch... https://youtu.be/slUaq4tur64?si=eLSkM82U_hzBy64J

[zealous shadow]

I keep getting 98+99% completes. Trying to turn every stone to find anything but must be missing something. Any ideas?

[wooden hinge]

is the dark ages fixed on gamepass yet ?

[hard thistle]

probably missed a piece of gold somewhere

game tells you what you missed

[river fern]

Either a piece of gold is missing or you accessed it via an alternative method not foreseen by the devs and thus you didn't trigger the "secret discovered" sequence which counts towards the total progress

Happened to me in Siege part 2 once

Everything was found, only I didn't get the secret gold the way the devs expected me to

Once I've done that, boom, 100%

[frail plaza]

levels dont show some gold as a ? On the map until you actually get to them so you probably are missing that one piece, happened to me in siege 1

[restive matrix]

I’m not 100% the dark ages tbh shit is not worth looking for gold and those damn wolves when I don’t even use most weapons or equipment other than the shoulder mounted turret and flail

[frail plaza]

Bar like 1 or 2 levels its not actually that bad to get everything in the maps for me atleast it all kinda felt natural

[restive matrix]

I was running around checking my map constantly and it killed the flow of gameplay for me I like how eternals secrets were woven into the level compared to going somewhere completely off the beaten path and get ambushed all because I wanted some gold

The games good but I got a feeling that the gameplay isn’t as fun as eternals loop considering the game got kinda repetitive at the end

All the enemies feel the same to fight

It’s like fighting nothing but muraders the whole game

[zealous shadow]

Ok cheers. Haven’t missed any gold according to game. Abyssal forest, ancestral forge and forsaken plains all 98/99

[uneven dragon]

are you finishing challenges...?

[zealous shadow]

Ah no! Forgot about them. They count towards the complete?

[uneven dragon]

yeah pretty sure

[zealous shadow]

Makes sense. Cheers buddy

[split gate]

Chat I would like to announce for no reason that I got the Plat for TDA 🗣️

Pandemonium Nightmare here I come 😄

[hard thistle]

Congratulations!

[wraith lynx]

I still cant decide is eternal better than tda.

Both are peak games

[split gate]

tbh they're both fantastic games leaning into different gameplay directions

[wraith lynx]

Yep

But theyre both fun

[random ibex]

what should I do with the error something went wrong at startup?

[wraith lynx]

Idk

What is the error

[split gate]

But for me overall, TDA just beats it given level design, art direction, and atmosphere

[random ibex]

error "something went wrong"

[wraith lynx]

Intresting

[drowsy fractal]

my honest reaction

https://tenor.com/view/honest-reaction-doom-cacodemon-gif-792118870890486214

[proud mirage]

Does anyone use framegen for this game?

[barren shale]

More input lag to make the game look worse isn't a good tradeoff imo

[proud mirage]

If anyone is, tell me

[barren shale]

Things do look more "smooth" but it's hard not to notice framegen turning games into visual soup unless you're already running it at an extremely high framerate, at which point there's no reason to use it anyway

[frail plaza]

i tried it at first but the game ended up being too skippy to play

[proud mirage]

did you check frametime stability?

[frail plaza]

no i didnt

[proud mirage]

it is not anything near a straight line

I wonder if there is a way to make it stable

Like normally you'd cap framerate and the graph becomes more stable straight line. but for framegen i dont think it works?!

[frail plaza]

might just be framegen specific since its trying to get the frames in real time or something im not too sure how it works

[random berry]

Game looks good, gonna wait for a sale though given the price

[abstract brook]

Alright lads.. now that TDA has been out a bit, what’s your preferred game from the new trilogy atm & for what reason?

[dense flume]

My top 3:

1st Doom eternal
2nd Doom TDA
3rd Doom 2016

I still prefer eternal a little bit more, because of the soundtrack

But TDA gameplay is just as good as

Also, I liked that they did a LOT of fan service in this new game

[frail plaza]

TDA, feels super satisfying, all guns are good so you can mix n match combos easier, gets rid of my main problem of eternal with the platforming being annoying

[abstract brook]

I respect that. P much same for me,

1. Doom Eternal. The visual design / language, classic inspired monster designs etc and the frantic gameplay. Music too, Mick’s best imo. (I also enjoyed the platforming oops..)
2. The Dark Ages. Atmosphere, heavy chunky gameplay, the less platform-y levels reminded me of OG Doom. The weapons. “Run.” Soundtrack is great in its own right.
3. 2016. Neck and neck with TDA though and I consider them equal standing. Game speaks for itself nuff said

[hard thistle]

Dark Ages is my top pick right now;
The presentation is a happy medium between 2016 & eternal, the OST is extremely complimentary to the game we ended up with.
Sliders give us that "NG+ at home" feel for if you wanna notch it up and the combo system that you're capable of doing is outrageous, but not in a way that becomes almost "Procedural" like in eternal, but more free flowing in how you can make your choices during a combo.

Also the designs of levels, the slayer and demons are absolutely peak ngl. Not classic designs and it strays from prior installments, but we don't need the same game every time so it's nice to see them lay it to rest for a bit, giving the old stuff a break.

[split gate]

My way of thinking, in terms of how each game relates to the Doom legacy, is that 2016 honors it, Eternal evolves it, and TDA refines it

The more I go back to the previous games, I can see them standing out in their own ways

Because one isn't a sequel to the other in a sense, it's just innovating and changing every time, all to respect the legacy

[abstract brook]

I really enjoyed how every game does something different so most people will be able to find their own “favorite” in the series.

[dense flume]

The only thing that really bothered me about Doom Dark Ages were the sections with the dragon, I don't think they are as well polished as the rest of the game, and I found them quite boring, but thankfully they don't last long.

But besides that, it's a 10/10 to me, and no game is perfect

[split gate]

Yeah I get what you mean, me personally, they were great for changing the pace, while not taking away what makes Doom DOOM. I was worried it would actually be a lot of levels but I it was fortunately otherwise

[dense flume]

Yes, although I don't think they are that cool, it's okay, since they are distributed in moderate quantity during the campaign, it's bearable.

[harsh egret]

i remember hugo mention on the last stream that they would make some adjustments to the dragon in the patch that came the next day but they didnt yet

[hard thistle]

Did he say what they might be?
I'm a little suprised the dragon is a tunable and not requiring a whole patch

[harsh egret]

nah he didnt specify, but im assuming maybe this week would be the time for a bigger patch rather than the hotfix patch they actually did last week

[harsh egret]

everything has something that can be a "tuneable" but i think they want to make smth more than just that

hence why he said something is coming in a patch and not as a tuneable

[hard thistle]

Oh I just mean I feel like the dragons need a bit more than a tuneable

[harsh egret]

yeah and they will do that

[delicate grotto]

Honestly I think the dragon sections could’ve benefited from more dogfighting other Hell Ships, rather than flying over from point A to point B, waiting for a green attack, then shooting and proceeding.
It’s a lot of fun chasing those ships around and evading obstacles. Wish fighting the larger Hell Carriers and tentacle creatures followed a similar approach, with more dynamic controls.

[split gate]

Dogfighting with Serrat would be so cool

[barren shale]

I imagine all they'll be able to do at this point is tweak stuff like the damage output of the dragon, but imo the problem is the combat of the dragon isn't the most interesting. Honestly, they'd probably even feel better to play with the turrets removed and just being used as an A to B with the chase sections added too, but I doubt that'll happen

[harsh egret]

what i think both the atlan and the mech suffer from one big issue, and it has to do with enemy variety
the ships u chase are all the same, u shoot down the same big hellships whatever they were called i forgot
the mech has very little variety, just some versions of the same demon with some armor changes, i think it wasnt enough variety imo

[delicate grotto]

The only thing in TDA I genuinely did not like were the turret sections. Dragon is fine for what it is, and fun in some cases. Plus the environments are sick to traverse.
But those turrets are such an odd addition to me. Cool concept on paper, not so much in execution. At least they’re short.

[delicate grotto]

That’s a fair point. There’s not a whole lot going on between you flying to the next objective. Nothing is really outright attacking you. Not even the Hell ships. They just fly around, lol.

[harsh egret]

i feel like the turret sections are so short that they are almost hard to hate on imo

[real lynx]

I think the atlan and dragon sections would be better if they were more fleshed out

[fallow badge]

Dragon is good dragon

[real lynx]

Like if we got actual upgrades and multiple weapons for the dragon and atlan

[fallow badge]

Does the dragon have a name or

[real lynx]

Serrat

[harsh egret]

Serrat

[fallow badge]

Serrat!!

Serrat!!!

[dense flume]

Serrat!!!

[delicate grotto]

The lack of variety for the mech is alright imo, since those sections are so short and meant as a pace breaker. They’re fun for what they are but I can see what you’re saying.

[fallow badge]

Yippeee Serrat!!

[snow hinge]

Serrat, but I like to call him "good boy"

[fallow badge]

Yesss

[split gate]

Serrat absolutely goated

[fallow badge]

Yes Serrat!!

Imma name my next pet Serrat

[fathom jacinth]

Doom eternal 2 lol

[snow hinge]

Before launch I was saying he deserved lots of headpats and treats and HE GOT BOTH IN GAME

[fathom jacinth]

My msg dint go through lol

[dense flume]

Can I talk about the story with spoilers here?

[fallow badge]

Yessss he got a nice treat

[barren shale]

The issue with the mech to me is you've got 3 moves and there really isn't any reason to use one of them. Like the stomp on the ground isn't really a great option to use because it takes away the charge from your big instakill attack, so you kinda just ignore that move entirely so you can just punch until you get the better attack

[fallow badge]

Ye jus spoil it

I'm in chapter 18 so far

[fathom jacinth]

I completed the game

Doing nightmare

[delicate grotto]

Sweet

[fathom jacinth]

100%

Only Done to chapter 6 100%

[pallid wing]

Omg 4 boss fights in a row

[fathom jacinth]

What color do you guys use for parry

[harsh egret]

and i also felt like while it is exactly what ur saying, i felt like it was too oversimplified of a combat especially knowing what they CAN do when it comes to that
i felt at least like they did it on purpose, which i didnt really like all that much but its not long of and its fun overall, wont "ruin" my replayability like some other ppl felt like lol

[pallid wing]

I saw mayo use purple
Green fucks with all the other green things in game

[loud gulch]

why dont i get an extra charge from the mace after a parry???? i got it fully upgraded

[harsh egret]

i use a less bright yellow, i felt it was the best for me

[hard thistle]

I'm so done with general chat.

Hello friends 🙂

[pallid wing]

Boss fight in mech is bleh
It's fun but base combat is where it's at and I think that boss will sour with age
Even tho the boss is cool af

[harsh egret]

cuz that would be insanely powerful like out of this world bro

atleast it decreases the recharge time on it to still give u something lol

[dense flume]

I already got all the achievements for the game, took me 48 hours of gameplay, playing on nightmare difficulty

[fathom jacinth]

I use purple

[loud gulch]

wdym?? the final upgrade gives another charge??

[harsh egret]

yeah and thats powerful enough as it is

[loud gulch]

did you play the game

[flint turtle]

I use a bit darker white. Not optimal (with revenant especially) but looks the best to me

[loud gulch]

no like im saying
i parried then i used my mace

[dense flume]

Green

[loud gulch]

i didnt get an extra charge (even though i shouldve)

[fathom jacinth]

Cool

[harsh egret]

ah wait wut

[loud gulch]

did you PLAY the game 😭

[harsh egret]

nah bro i just picked up the mace and shut off the game

[loud gulch]

ok

[pallid wing]

Parries don't always work for whatever reason
They also have a cooldown

[dense flume]

Yes, they are finite

That adds a layer of strategy to the game, you need to use all weapons at your disposal, and pull some combos

It's still a doom game, even being different from the other games

[barren shale]

I experimented a lot and white ended up being the only colour that didn't end up looking identical to another attack to my colourblind eyes

[snow hinge]

Default green, but I dabbled with red for a while because it blended in with most attacks and it forces me to memorize which attacks aren't parryable

[snow parrot]

Guys do you also think the shotgun is to overpowerd

[loud gulch]

the same color as the unparriable projectiles.

[barren shale]

I think TDA runs into the same issue as 2016 where there's not much reason to use a different weapon other than wanting to make it more interesting for yourself. You can solve most problems with a point blank super shotty

[loud gulch]

it gives me that "i can parry anything" feeling

[astral ravine]

me with super shotgun

I honestly stopped using the reaver after getting the fully upgraded super shotgun

[dense flume]

Yes, I can literally do one hit kill with this thing

[snow parrot]

becaus i think i played the full game with it

https://tenor.com/view/doom-slayer-doom-slayer-taunt-doom-gif-5228825785991726881

[snow hinge]

It ain't called "SUPER Shotgun" for nothin

[loud gulch]

this might be a hot take but the reaver is just as powerful, if not STRONGER than the ssg when fully upgraded.

[astral ravine]

maybe, but the super shotgun bias is there for me

[loud gulch]

35 ammo + instant charge after a parry + breaks armor instantly (usually)

[astral ravine]

it feels wrong to use other weapon other than it during the ahzrak fight

[leaden gull]

Nah, the limited ammo balances it out imo

[vital rapids]

It's Doom. Shotty/super shotty should be the star of the show if that's what you want.

[loud gulch]

honestly best weapons to use against him are ssg reaver and ravager

[astral ravine]

ravager is just that broken

[loud gulch]

for the melee its gotta be pgauntlet

[leaden gull]

Still by far the nicest gun to play with tho

[astral ravine]

which is why the nerf against the boss fights is justified

[loud gulch]

you should try maxed out chainshot against ahzrak

[vital rapids]

I am in favour of all weapons being generally viable to some level in this game.

[astral ravine]

like, ravager is basically just the mobile turret without too much of the drawbacks

[harsh egret]

the skullcrusher needs some buffs or smth

by far and i think the only weapon that feels underpowered to me

[astral ravine]

if any weapon needs a buff, its the shredder

[vital rapids]

You're probably right although I stopped using it for that reason, so I don't know how good it is upgraded tbh

[astral ravine]

I literally can't find any niche for it

[loud gulch]

the shredder and accelerator are so ass rn 😭

even when fully upgraded

[vital rapids]

Pincushion ❤️

[astral ravine]

I can see some niche with the accelerator heat blast

but literally nothing with the shredder

[harsh egret]

depends on playstyle, a friend of mine liked switching to it for shield guys and ocassionaly for anything really

[vital rapids]

I use the shredder with pincushion to quickly get rid of annoying mooks

[loud gulch]

personally i dont have anything against shredder and accelerator mains, its just that these weapons were significantly outclassed by their counterpart. take the impaler, free empowered shots from throwing the shield saw/parrying/meleeing. And the cycler too, that shit is fucking busted. literally just focus on a heavy and it would perform shock, which transfers to other enemies once killed, and this happens for a VERYY long time

[vital rapids]

Mancubus is satisfying to kill with a burst of shredder to apply pincushion and a shield throw. Brrrrr-explode

[loud gulch]

it just gives free dmg

[astral ravine]

oh boy

cycler's shock debuff is broken

[loud gulch]

also it might just be me but like the rocket launcher is genuinely fun to spam at on heavies and super heavies

[harsh egret]

it is

[astral ravine]

this is why I'm hoping that some of the new demons in the DLC will gain immunity or at least resistance against shock

[loud gulch]

get the extra splash dmg mod and it feels like doom 1 all over again

[harsh egret]

i love both the rocket launcher and the grenade launcher equally ngl

[frail plaza]

canibal perk, parry a cyber demon, rockets everywhere

[astral ravine]

the grenade launcher balls bouncing around the map is fun to watch

[loud gulch]

gl is also really satisfying to use. throw your shield saw at a guy and direct hit it with the gl. Literally activates the neurons on my brains

[vital rapids]

[daring vale]

Is anybody else having the bug where the Berserker achievement just isn't unlocking

[loud gulch]

which one is that?

[harsh egret]

seems to be a pretty trendy issue yeah

[daring vale]

I've 100% completed the game and it won't activate on steam

[harsh egret]

they said they are working on fixing it asap

[daring vale]

All melee, shield, and shield rune upgrades

[vital rapids]

Yes. A number of people. They are working on it

[loud gulch]

cant really tell you on that since im almost finished on the runes, finished on everything else

[daring vale]

Oh nice, yeah I read on Bethesda support that you just had to reset and do it all again, which I am obviously not doing

[vital rapids]

Yeah, I think that's just casual sadism tbh

[hard thistle]

Somebody say Sadism?

[daring vale]

I very briefly contemplated doing ultra nightmare to get it again but considering the death count I dont think thats happening

[hard thistle]

Hey how's your run going btw

[rain glen]

I beat the game

[vital rapids]

Grats man!

[hard thistle]

Wooooooo

[loud gulch]

i lost my run on siege pt2

[daring vale]

Going for the 100% next?

[hard thistle]

You were in UN?

[loud gulch]

yah

[hard thistle]

try again

[loud gulch]

hows ur run going rn

[hard thistle]

Wait had you played prior to that run?

[daring vale]

Siege pt1 is the bane of my existence

[hard thistle]

I finished thankfully, it was a melee only run so now I have to adjust to shooting again. Brain got rewired.

[daring vale]

I only did nightmare but it genuinely took me hours

[loud gulch]

yes, didnt get far tho

[hard thistle]

Ohhh, buddy I'd beat the game before trying UN

[loud gulch]

GGGGS

[hard thistle]

yeah we can tell bro, it's kinda in ur name

[hard thistle]

He asked.
I told.

[silver field]

I just got the game, and it's downloading rn, any tips?

[loud gulch]

i was askig him

[loud gulch]

focus on parries and melee

[hard thistle]

I replied.

[hard thistle]

Have fun, don't use metas and it'll be more fun, don't ramp sliders down or it'll be less fun, and at the end of the day..

[silver field]

[hard thistle]

Unfortunately to no benefit.

[silver field]

Is that a new gun?

[hard thistle]

did this game flop?

[loud gulch]

i literally ramp my dmg to enemy to 50 just bcs i thought killing them quickly would deplete my fun 💔

[hard thistle]

😔

[frail plaza]

no

[silver field]

oke

[daring vale]

Mine is probably the chainshot, its just so fun to use

[hollow sandal]

Don't mind me, apologies. Pulverizer is good for fodder

[hard thistle]

I'm messing with you man.
All love. I see you every day now. We practically related by demon blood spilled at this point.

[loud gulch]

i have TONS, unless you want me to pick just one

[silver field]

ohhhh, okeee

[daring vale]

If you had to pick one

[hard thistle]

Eyyy, same.
At 50 you have room to combo and it's way better.

[frail plaza]

ssg, accelerator, rocket/grenade launcher

[loud gulch]

in a regular combo cycle i like to use parries+gauntlet+chainshot
if i had to pick one id honestly run it back with the ravager

[silver field]

I got the physical version, and I don't understand why I'm downloading the whole game

[hard thistle]

yeah ngl I'm a bit too much on discord lmao

[loud gulch]

YESSS killing cybers dont feel quick with 50

[daring vale]

Ngl they're probably my least favourite

[silver field]

Also, is it recommended to get the DLC?

[daring vale]

It doesn't exist yet

[hard thistle]

cuz the physical version only has like 80mb, the rest you gotta download
