PREEEAAASSSEEE

[foggy breach]

Same

[hard thistle]

Dunno if this is a hot take but as for slow, solemn tracks, I prefer this over sign of evil

[vital rapids]

Still getting surprised the game has already loaded. Ridiculously fast

[ornate portal]

DA music is non existent

[thin zinc]

da music has grown on me a lot.

some of the tracks are definitely slowerly. like i feel they were going for a doom 2 tone in some places, like the song posted above

[vital rapids]

for sure. That riff in When the Shadows First Lengthened is a grower

ultra nightmare kicking my ass 😔

[zealous thorn]

Kick it’s ass back harder

[unique anvil]

just discovered a bug that turns my entire screen completely white and vibrating and the only thing I can see is my hud

[lament grove]

True.. i have been playing on 250% damage to player from my nightmare run so i might have to lower it a bit just to make it bareable cuz im definitely going to get fucked in the later levels otherwise like 😭😭😭

[brave leaf]

How can you get the twitch drop

Wait nvm
It randomly gave it to me even though I watched it hours ago

Desperate for skins man
Literally half of then are unobtainable

Third party advertisements

[astral quail]

[shrewd mountain]

Good news, I completed inferno for my completely chronological marathon of doom

[distant tusk]

hey guys i got i problem

my envia app shows nothing when im trying to exchange

[regal agate]

[hexed copper]

[hard thistle]

i want to get it so bad and i want to get serrat as well but when i open my wallet flies come out

[harsh egret]

i got both the slayer and serrat

[hexed copper]

😭

[hexed copper]

Sick😎😎

I just got the slayer, cause I didn't like how the serrat looked.

[ocean arrow]

https://youtu.be/_bBhE19yGbY?si=ACUFjFNieNz9xDpJ figured I’d share this here 🙂

[velvet elbow]

Had a really deep virus on my computer, so now I’m slaughtering processes with the task manager until it lets me delete it

I just wanna play Nightreign man

[sonic turret]

How do we have Arachnotrons in Doom Eternal and TDA, if they were previously made by the UAC?

[foggy breach]

It explains much in Eternal but TDA? No clue, how there are Arachnotrons in that period.

[unreal schooner]

These Arachnotrons are borderline organic save for the guns mounted on them. They have organic legs. They're what the UAC was trying to recreate.

The best way to look at it, is that the ones in TDA are more ancient than the ones in the original DOOM games. The UAC based theirs more on the Spider Mastermind.

[foggy breach]

Wait a second, the Arachnotrons don't even have a codex in TDA.

[unreal schooner]

Which in turn was a demon creation using the organic Arachnotrons as a starting point.

[sonic turret]

Nope. I guessed that either they'd forgotten or they expected us to refer back to the Eternal codex.

[foggy breach]

They probably forgotten it, no doubt.

[cobalt sapphire]

alright I am going to make it my goal this weekend to be Dark Ages

[foggy breach]

🤷

[unreal schooner]

But yeah, that's my explanation on the Arachnotron stuff.

[sonic turret]

My guess was that since the Doom 2 Arachnotrons were made based on the Spider Mastermind, they used cloned brain matter, whuch intuitively lead them back to Hell, which is why they turned up in TDA.

[sonic turret]

I mean we could try asking in Hugo's next stream. 🤷

Maybe they can add it

[dark thunder]

did anyone see romero play tda? what did he think of it?

[real rampart]

he didnt say much other than "this was very cool"

imo it seemed like the game was too much for him, with the management of 3 different things at the same time and stuff

it felt like he was trying to play it like a very old Doom/boomershooter, focusing on one thing at a time

[jovial gull]

hey y'all Gotta question!
Since my copy took a while to arrive as it was lost in the post, started it this week. Now, was planning on starting UN run attempts this weekend, but turns out people can use sliders to lower the difficulty to minimum and considered a 'UN Run'? (getting the gold armours too)?
Is this still the case? or was it fixed, any idea? Cause otherwise, what's the point of supposed ultra-NIGHTMARE if the nightmare difficulty can be bypassed? Or am I just being a d**k or gatekeeper about it ? 😅
Thanks!

[plush coyote]

I can't get the Berserker trophy for PS5 despite having all the upgrades

If someone could help that would be nice

[split sun]

i feel like i havent seen the general concensus on this game

do people like it or not?
do people think its good or not?
do people think its a good doom game or not?
and do people prefer it over 2016 and/or eternal?

[honest vortex]

I'm not even sure at this point 😭

[frail bloom]

Idk give it 5 years

[honest vortex]

I'll say people everywhere call it the weakest modern DOOM game by a landslide. Everywhere all the time.

But then I've seen a lot of people call it the best one lol

😭

[split sun]

personally i think the game is ok, i dont think its better than eternal or 2016, its a decent game but doesnt feel like the rest of the franchise and its a weak game.
howevver, im only halfway through the game and it may recieve updates, but with the amount of content so far and the lack of polish... its not very enjoyable

[honest vortex]

Seen a lot of people love it.

Meanwhile seem even more hate for it than DOOM 3.

[frail bloom]

Dude there is an inner circle of doom purists thst think doom fell off after doom 1

Trust me it gets crazier

[honest vortex]

It feels very mixed, controversial, and divisive.

As much as DOOM 3 at this point

[split sun]

...legit?

[frail bloom]

That's why yu give it time, doom at this point is a bunch of fps options, whatever yu crave, a game is there for yu, unless it's open world or 3rd person lol

[frail bloom]

Yes dude, doomers can get pretty crazy

[fast girder]

Are achievements broken on Xbox btw does anyone know?

[native field]

Hello friends, how do I play the new DOOM after I have redeemed it on the Bethesda site?

[uneven dragon]

the SSG got nerfed so i hope people here stop complaining

[split sun]

i feel that the doom franchise as a whole is about mobility, resource management, metal, focus on gameplay over story, hell and hell on earth, fighting demons and the weapon arsenal consisting of fist, chainsaw, the 4 weapon types with variants for each - bullets, shotgun, plasma, rockets, and the bfg/op big weapon. and a big focus on gore. and challenge, with there being a stupidly hard way to play. and doomguy/slayer

[uneven dragon]

it literally plays more like classic doom than both 2016 and eternal

[split sun]

really? surprising, i think the balance overall was just wrong... ssg broken, one shotted arachnotrons

[uneven dragon]

dont you just need to log in

[frail bloom]

Good thing that's fixed

[fast girder]

Advise looking for instructions online or from Bethesda themselves
I don’t think most people here bought codes

[frail bloom]

Btw the latter half of the game is way better than the former half

[split sun]

eh, i disagree... doom 3 was closer to classic doom than the dark ages even in some ways

[frail bloom]

At least in my experience

[frail bloom]

Nudoom

Not doom 3

[split sun]

classic doom was all about killing demons. didnt have any gameplay variation like dragon levels and mech levels, they feel very out of place for a game that is supposedly most similar to classic doom... and the movement feels way too tanky and slow compared to classic doom

[frail bloom]

Slow???????

[uneven dragon]

i only listed 2016 and Eternal

[split sun]

yes, slow. i feel very slow in the dark ages

[frail bloom]

Uhhh turn on auto sprint

Problem solved, now it's like classic doom

[split sun]

oh in that case id say 2016 is the closest

[uneven dragon]

press shift

[split sun]

im sorry but i dont play anything with auto sprint, especially doom

[uneven dragon]

classic doom literally is auto sprint though...?

[split sun]

and strafing is nothing like classic doom

[frail bloom]

Dude yu are giving me mixed signals

[split sun]

what on earth did you play then

[frail bloom]

Have yu even played classic doom

[uneven dragon]

what did YOU play? auto run is literally the default setting for Doom + Doom II + Final Doom

[split sun]

100%'d, except for nightmare difficulty... excluding 64, havent gotten maxed unmakyr or lost levels

[frail bloom]

How does someone not know about auto sprint yet is beyond me

[split sun]

i played on console

[split sun]

i know about auto sprint and in the new ports i always turn it off, its a pain in the ass

i play controller so its a lot harder to control movement precisely at top speeds

[frail bloom]

Uh so what I play on controller and it's easy, I think it's more a personal issue cuz doom tda can play much faster with auto sprint and raising your game speed

Plus the latter half gets pretty hectic

And yu know playing classic doom without autosprint is torture

[split sun]

...strafing.

[frail bloom]

So what do yu strafe in 2016 and eternal???

[split sun]

yes??

air strafing

[frail bloom]

But not in this game, where there are deliberate bullet hell mechanics

[split sun]

i cant strafe fast enough in this game

[frail bloom]

Dude this is based on classic doom, YOU DON'T AIR STRAFE IN CLASSIC DOOM

[split sun]

i was talking about 2016. and i think air strafing is more akin to classic doom than strafing in tda

[frail bloom]

Yup, I'm going

Gotta sleep

[plain iron]

Lotta folk don't seem to realise this is based on classic doom

[split sun]

i can tell some parts are based on classic doom, but it really dont feel like it

[honest vortex]

Technically 2016 and Eternal is auto sprint too if you think about it

[split sun]

In a way, yeah, it disables walking speed

But for the sake of argument, let's say tda has movement more similar to classic doom

The game is still less similar than 2016 and eternal

Also, on a side note, what on earth is gold doing in a doom game? It isn't wolfenstein

[honest vortex]

What complaining about gold ? Why? 😭

[split sun]

Because there was no equivalent in classic doom.

(From modern doom) Weapon mods were a new, fresh idea to introduce more weapon variety into the progression, since the scale was so much bigger than classic doom. Otherwise the game would go stale compared to other fps games

There was no currency you needed to collect tiny bits of around the map for no reason.

Gold seems to be a homage to wolfenstein 3d, but giving the gold a function past score

It feels redundant and useless as a new gameplay mechanic and just feels like its there to make it feel more unique and different to eternal

[shell osprey]

I’ve encountered a glitch during Siege - Part One, where a gate to one of the Gore Portals won’t open. It’s the one that requires both levers to be pulled to activate it. I’m on UN and I don’t want to simply close the game if it will delete my progress.

[split sun]

Tried restarting from checkpoint?

[hasty stone]

Can I use the gold weapon skins on other save slots?

[shell osprey]

Ultra-Nightmare. That’s not an option.

[hasty stone]

And I do I have to collect all the gun skins again

[split sun]

Ohhhh thats what un meant

[shell osprey]

What else could UN mean?

[brazen cove]

Is there a way to fix the shield not working bug?

I’ve had it happens twice in my pandemonium run and I had to restart the chapter

[split sun]

It saved from last level right? Does it let you reload it?

[split sun]

What is that?

[brazen cove]

Sometimes your shield just stops working. You can’t block, shield bash or saw shield

[hasty stone]

In June with path tracing they're prolly gonna patch a bunch of bugs

[brazen cove]

Alright

[split sun]

Consietenyly happens to me at the end of level 2, passes after like 5 seconds

[hasty stone]

I never had a shield glitch

[brazen cove]

It does not pass for me lol. Like even after minutes

[hasty stone]

Maybe your shield broke then

[brazen cove]

Nah

[split sun]

Stupid that they can release a game with this many bugs... game industry, not fault of the developers

[split sun]

Nah just randomly happens

[brazen cove]

The only way I’ve found to fix it is either die or reload chapter

[hasty stone]

This many bugs? These doom games are polished to hell compared to other games lol

Idsoftware is on another level

[split sun]

Yeah so uh... not this one

[brazen cove]

This one does seem more buggy than previous ones

Still it’s not too bad

[split sun]

I have a huge eye for bugs, mistakes, etc, especially around environments

[brazen cove]

There are some clunky stuff with swapping I think too

[split sun]

I've found invisible sentinels, gone out of bounds several times, gotten stuck in geometry found floating trees, trees are lower resolution than the original halo, floating sentinel squadrons, lower skybox being visible from cracks in geometry... I could go on

[remote thunder]

force quitting is an option but you will have to restart the mission

[split sun]

Yeah, makes me feel way too limited. You can't use your shield for a full second while the animation plays

Punishes you for wanting to try a new weapon during combat

[shell osprey]

Fair enough. Better than resetting the entire campaign.

[distant tusk]

bros, i got a problm, any idea how to exchange the verdant skin?.. envidia app shows me nothing about redeem this skin

[brazen cove]

Right now in my pandemonium run I literally only use impaler

[split sun]

Verdant skin, whats that from?

[brazen cove]

Chapter 11 haven’t used anything else

[remote thunder]

yeah impaler is arguably the best weapon in the game

[brazen cove]

Well occasionally SSG for shields

[split sun]

SSG can oneshot arachnatron

[remote thunder]

doing ANYTHING procs salvage, you get infinite ammo, and the mastery has perfect synergy w/ dreadmace

[brazen cove]

Yea but i feel like a lot of weapons are kinda mid. And not swapping so

Yea i like SSG too

[split sun]

Swapping feels punishing, balance is all off, I feel that experimentation and fun is discouraged in this new game

[high fox]

Headshots my beloved

[brazen cove]

Yea that’s my main issue. Like I would use other weapons but it takes 3 years to swap and you can’t block during swap

Also a lot of weapons are kinda mid I feel

[high fox]

Oh yeah I agree, I thought we would have eternal weapon swapping

[split sun]

I never use plasma

[brazen cove]

Same or pulverizer, shredder

[split sun]

Pulveriser is fun to use on fodder hordes, bot much more

And its inefficient compared to, say, shield

[high fox]

How many people do you guys thinking cheated UN by lowering the difficulty?

[brazen cove]

I don’t like it personally

[brazen cove]

Do you mean the sliders? I assumed it cancelled UN

[high fox]

No I don't think it does

[brazen cove]

That’s hilarious if it doesn’t

[high fox]

I'll make another account and share gamepass with my main

alt*

[remote thunder]

accelerator w/ modulator and mega cell, ravager, and shredder w/ pincushion are all solid, they're just outclassed by single shot weapons

ravager's healing and ammo drops aren't conditional though, unlike rocket launcher healing

cooked is kinda ass and the rocket launcher as a whole is niche

[high fox]

I don;t get yall. Putting together builds. I run super shotgun, that funny mace and my sheild, I weapon swap accordingly

[brazen cove]

Im sure most weapons are fine but since you can’t swap at a reasonable speed it feels way too tedious and unsafe. Also single shot weapons just feel better with the shield since you can alternate weapon/shield

[remote thunder]

yeah impaler does almost everything

doesn't do great armor damage n it's hard to use optimally on komodos

but other than that it's kinda just better than everything else

[brazen cove]

Yea I tend to swap to SSG if I need armor busting. What do you use on Komodo? I still use impaler tbh

[remote thunder]

accelerator works surprisingly well on them

good sustain dps, don't need headshots for it to be effective

plasma also just got its ammo cap raised to 300

[neon perch]

I never did have trouble using the Impaler on anything that wasn't armored. I can 0-cycle Hunters without even meaning to with full melee charges and empowered shots.

[distant tusk]

i had to use vpn to redeem my code.... happens that the code is for regions... if your region is blocked, nvidia app shows you nothing

[neon perch]

I pretty much only main Impaler and SSG for raw DPS and AB respectively, AB via shield throw is situational and only encouraged with shield guys.

I wished they had brought shotgunners back. They pretty much don't exist in this game.

[distant tusk]

turn your vpn on, reinstall nvidia app and its done, you'll receive the redeem message

i was having a bad time for this... unfortunately im in a blocked region, but i finally solved this

[sudden rover]

Finally got past my softlock

Holy shit this game is good

[iron estuary]

does anyone elses demonic essence - health on ancestral forge not show as gotten, ive gotten everything on that level but for some reason it says i dont have the de health, despite that being earned from a required fight

[sudden rover]

DOOM is now my faith and hope

[real lynx]

Mega cell accelerator does insane DPS

Shocking an enemy and accelerator dumping absolutely melts

[proud sand]

Hi

[cobalt sapphire]

what up

[unreal schooner]

The TDA hate is so not deserved, and kind of baffling.

The gameplay literally has narrative reason for being slower than 2016 and Eternal, it comes before them, and Doom Slayer doesn't have the Praetor Suit which gives him the dash and faster movement.

[cobalt sapphire]

they just need to play it

[unreal schooner]

And are people that forgot that Doom 1 and II in later maps and higher difficulties were literally bullet hell

They just give you a deflect option for once.

[cobalt sapphire]

lol for sure on that

i think like i said people need to play it and have the correct PC to play it as well, because unless you have a decent one its not giving you the correct experience

[unreal schooner]

I grew up with the originals. I still think TDA is the closest to recapturing that. I've been replaying Doom 1993 on Switch after beating TDA (I just got the DOOM Anthology on Switch as it was a decent price for all the games) and near the end of Doom 1, the bullet dodging is uncanny.

Hell, the 2 Barons of Hell in the final map of Knee-Deep in the Dead become the first DOOM lesson in real dodging.

[cobalt sapphire]

Yea I agree with you

I also grew up on the original

I remember when I first came to the USA in 1997 and being in the back of my 6th grade classroom while everyone was at recess and playing DOOM on the low while someone kept watch.

[brazen cove]

fucking hell, shield bug at the final arena of the level

had to start all over, this is infuriating

[uneven siren]

Finally i finished it (before six days) it took my 24 hours on Aspiring Slayer to complete it nearly on 100%. It was great game from my point of view my favorite DOOM.

[dark thunder]

Do u guys think souls just find their way to hell in doom or does someone bring them there

[dire sonnet]

Which are yours top 10 levels?

[split sun]

So far I've only enjoyed a couple of levels. The mech intro and I can't remember the other one. Most of the levels aren't memorable, or just suck

Only at level 12 though so time will tell

[uneven dragon]

Man I love all the levels in this game

[split sun]

...the dragon level?

The first one at least, idk if the others are good yet

The dragon level is a dumpster fire of a level

Dragon combat is almost non existent, the secret areas are really bad, level is extraordinarily unpolished, buggy and I got out of bounds a TON.
Also, the main gimmick of the dragon in that level is turret mode... lock on to a target, dodge projectiles with a button press and a direction... then shoot them. That's boring as hell, couldn't they like... add something else?

Some areas in that level are really nice looking and I like the idea but... damn

Feels like the devs were overworked and rushed to make it

[tropic jasper]

I think dragon combat is kinda what I expected. It was cool visually and the Godzilla finisher is sick. I think the dragon for me was fun just for the visuals and the idea of a lazer wing dragon is just badass.

[split sun]

Yeah its cool visually and I love the dragon, but the gameplay is just boring...

[tropic jasper]

Yeah Im intrested to see if it makes a return in the DLC. Thats the rumor at the moment. Im not sure what they could add. Maybe alternate attacks. Lowkey would be cool to brain storm new dragon combat ideas.

[uneven dragon]

Yeah i like the first dragon level

Has enough Hell Ship dogfights for me to enjoy the dragon combat and the parts where you’re on the ground are some great arenas

[tropic jasper]

I agree but I do feel like it takes away from the dragon almost. I wish there was an exclusive dragon level like the atlan.

[uneven dragon]

I don’t think the dragon would work as well on its own tbh

I like it because it’s more like transport

It’s good at giving a real sense of scale to things

[tropic jasper]

Hopefully the DLC if they bring Serrat back or use a different dragon they update the combat a bit. I think the dragon could carry a level on its own. But I agree visually they nailed it with Serrat.

[velvet elbow]

Istg we have a fuckin stereotypical abusive relationship with Todd

[brazen cove]

pandemonium is pretty chill i thought it'd be harder

[real lynx]

You can cheese it

Exiting to menu doesn't consume lives

[brazen cove]

Yea i know. It’s pretty lame so im not doing it, but I had to reload the chapter several times when my shield decided to stop functioning

[iron estuary]

||if they could bring him back from whatever wound destroyed his entire face, wings, and front legs then they can bring him back from that neck stab (this is a cope but i love my boy please) ||

[tropic jasper]

Thats why i love doom they could literally do anything. Im also hoping for a a return for Serrat

[brazen cove]

I don’t, no more dragon mission pls

[tropic jasper]

[meager vortex]

steam forum doom the dark ages moderator is racist

someone make a forum campaign dlc must remove and replace multi player

people said no

i said to op just shut up

moderator ban me

[hasty stone]

Steam forms are cancer negativity

Forums

[meager vortex]

reason is disrespectful

just shut up is disrespectful?

just shut up=please be quiet

[smoky reef]

It's not enough for a full ban tbh

[delicate grotto]

There were so many missed opportunities with the dragon’s gameplay:
More aerial based enemies.
Dogfights.
Freely being able to breathe fire.
Obviously out of scope for a game focused on its FPS experience, but still a shame the badass design of Serrat wasn’t used to its full potential imo.

Chasing Hell ships and dodging around obstacles while you focusing them down is the highlight of those sections. Wish there were more sequences like that.

Also wish those ships actually attacked you too.

[tropic jasper]

That’s why I think Serrat deserves a second chance in the DLC. I think the opportunity to make awesome levels around the dragon game play is super possible.

[delicate grotto]

True. I’m interested what the DLC will be. Have a feeling it’ll focus on hunting down Hell’s council.

[split sun]

Shouldve been in the base game... that's bloody stupid

Is there anything the dragon does after the first level with it? Anything new?

[delicate grotto]

Personally I would’ve preferred the campaign be cut a couple levels shorter in favor of fleshing out Serrat’s gameplay, as it was likely scaled back from its original concept.
The concept art for Serrat had all sorts of attachments. Makes me think it was planned to have more combat-focused gameplay with him originally.

But as said before, the game’s focus isn’t the dragon.

[delicate grotto]

Sadly no, but the second dragon-based level is a huge step up from the first imo.
Environment, and optional challenges make it more engaging to explore and fly around in.

[fresh thicket]

Guys, how did you fix the black screen when launching the new Doom? All drivers are up to date, BIOS is also the latest version, PC specs are R5 7600X and RX 6800 XT.

[lament grove]

Yo who want the onyx skin code from the juvee promotion? I just remembered i did it on a 2nd email

Before they removed the page to get it for free

[verbal spire]

If you have clipping software like medal shut them down completely to see if it loads up

You do have to restart the game tho

[fresh thicket]

I don't use anything like that, and by the way, I also have the overlay disabled

[eternal mauve]

Ayo. Game aint startin, givin bugsplash, i tried whole internet, may cause be 6GBVram?

[split sun]

Ok thats something at least

[eternal mauve]

i dunno what else i can do except ddu,

[split sun]

Also are the later levels longer? The game feels really short, up to level 12

You know what they shouldve done with this game?
Hexen/heretic reboot wouldve been awesome

They could still do it in another game I guess

[eternal mauve]

deus ex would be good as well

[split sun]

Medieval themes, fantasy elements, black magic, eldritch terrors

[split sun]

Thats not ID though, I don't think

I think heretics theme wouldve really fit this game

Or maybe quake would be more similar... wait holy crap Quake would be perfect!!

Already a better known franchise, ID has been giving it some recent attention with the remasters and its medieval themed

That wouldve been perfect. They should totally do that

When they need more money

Maybe summer sale? If not, potentially whenever quakecon is on?

I think summer sale is in June im not sure

[winged blade]

possible possible

[split sun]

Id be surprised if they do 50% off, I reckon they'll just do a 20%

[winged blade]

yeah ngl

[split sun]

They wanna squeeze the cash out

[smoky reef]

I bet it's gonna be 55 euros

For summer sales

[split sun]

Yeah tbh this game is a bit underwhelming...

[winged blade]

ngl im prob gonna like wait 5 years and then get it when its like 90% off

[split sun]

Eternal had a lot more content, so did 2016, and both were way cheaper

[smoky reef]

You can play it on gamepass way cheaper meanwhile ngl

[split sun]

I think that's what they want people to do now

[smoky reef]

Inflation

That's why this is 80€ and future AAA games will be close to a hundred

[split sun]

Inflation in price and deflation in quality. And quantity

[winged blade]

how much is that, how do i even get that shi

[split sun]

How much was eternal again? What, half?

[smoky reef]

You can get it through the Xbox app on your PC and it's like 12 bucks a month

[split sun]

And had... double the content?

[winged blade]

damn

aint worth it tho cuz i got a time limit

[smoky reef]

It's expensive yeah but quality is decent and gameplay is great.

[winged blade]

and dont own it too

[smoky reef]

This is not about comparing this is about enjoying it tbh, these games are made to literally kill anything that moves on the screen

[uneven dragon]

...on launch?

[split sun]

I don't think the quality is the greatest but that is my opinion...
You cannot argue, however, that there is nowhere near as much as eternal, and the price is far too high by comparison

[split sun]

Idk about launch, I started doom in late 2019

[uneven dragon]

TDA's base campaign is longer than Eternal's

[winged blade]

i feel like most of the guys that worked on doom and doom eternal didnt work on the dark ages

[smoky reef]

Release content was less in eternal, IG you're counting the dlc

[split sun]

That really feels like the case

[winged blade]

this one feels like a corporate imitation of what doom was

[uneven dragon]

that's... just wrong lol

[uneven dragon]

wtf are you even talking about bro 😭

[split sun]

No I mean like, multiplayer mode... which sucked... and horde mode... and master levels

[smoky reef]

This is the closest game to the old games of doom you'll find adapted to this new era

[split sun]

I think he's right, this game feels like AAA slop by comparison

[winged blade]

could be wrong cuz i havent played it, but a lot of the stuff i saw gives me that impression

[smoky reef]

I gotcha but it doesn't make any sense to have a multiplayer on this game

[split sun]

I call bullcrap, and if you disagree that is fine.

[winged blade]

if it didnt cost that much tho then i wouldnt be going off impressions lol

[uneven dragon]

i havent played it
come the fuck on bro

[split sun]

A horde mode would be hella cool tho

[uneven dragon]

and why's that?

[winged blade]

?

[uneven dragon]

Horde Mode isn't a launch thing Eternal didn't come with it either

[split sun]

The gazillion bugs, glitches and lack of detail

[smoky reef]

Might come in a future

[uneven dragon]

it literally plays more like Doom 1-64 than 2016 and Eternal

[uneven dragon]

2016 has a bug where you can fall through the floor and instantly lose your ultra nightmare run

[split sun]

I disagree entirely

[winged blade]

this guy is just a glazer, let him

[smoky reef]

I respect your decision, I really liked the game but again it depends on your own test

[uneven dragon]

you haven't even fucking played the game man

[split sun]

Yeah seems like most people are...

[uneven dragon]

this game looks bad and is slop
i haven't played it btw

[winged blade]

i mean spending money usually makes people cope in the way where they defend what they spent money on

[split sun]

I havent beaten the game and my opinion is subject to change, but so far the game is garbage

[winged blade]

i didnt say this game looks bad and is slop, tf are u on abt?

absolute clown

[split sun]

I bought the collectors, the helmet bundle and a few other things

[uneven dragon]

you said it was a "corporate imitation of doom" vro

[somber palm]

how cool is it

[winged blade]

you are at least real on the other hand

[smoky reef]

To be fair getting an opinion like this without beating the whole game is just hilarious

[winged blade]

yes, it literally feels like its a corporate imitation of doom

[split sun]

Pretty sick actually, idk about the helmet yet

[somber palm]

nice👍

[winged blade]

didnt say it looks bad and is slop, cuz i havent played

[split sun]

You don't need to play a full game to form an opinion, that's ridiculous

[somber palm]

my laptops too crap to play dark ages, my brother has a gaming laptop and it looks so fun

[uneven dragon]

you haven't played it

[split sun]

Probably for good reason

[winged blade]

hhahahah

[uneven dragon]

im noticing how the people saying it's good have actually finished the game

and one person saying it's bad hasn't and the other hasn't even touched the game

[somber palm]

unrelated but i just started skyrim and its so good

[smoky reef]

I gotta be honest it's fine to criticize it but you don't have to literally call it garbage

[split sun]

That does tend to happen. People who don't like the game don't finish it... did you think about that?

[uneven dragon]

and what about the person who hasn't even played it

[split sun]

Its not garbage, it's just triple a slop

[winged blade]

maybe i wouldnt judge based on impressions if it wasnt fucking 80 eur

[split sun]

Probably didn't have faith in the company to make an $80 investment

[uneven dragon]

didnt have faith but liked doom 2016 and eternal?

[winged blade]

and you can see a lot from trailers/gameplay clips/other people's impressions

[split sun]

Which, i must say, unless you are rich and/or jobless, is a big investment

[somber palm]

im js gonna wait till theres a sale so i pay the company what i think their game is worth

[split sun]

Absolutely

[somber palm]

because 120$ AUD is blasphemous, as good as the game is i dont think any game should be over 70$AUD

[split sun]

Anyways ima have a shower because I touch grass then I'll see where this conversation goes

[split sun]

Damn right. Also its 110 at jb hifi now

[somber palm]

dang

[split sun]

Aussie gang

[uneven dragon]

i think the price is a bit much but the game was also really good so

[somber palm]

why am i not allowed to type for real

[uneven dragon]

definitely has my favourite gameplay out of nudoom

[somber palm]

in chat

[split sun]

Yeah I always buy from jb hifi now, eb games is honestly too expensive... which I find funny since they are the only dedicated game store chain in Australia

[somber palm]

i went to the eb games at rhodes and oh my days bro 120$ for mario cart on the switch 2

[uneven dragon]

just literally wrong...
2016 and Eternal both have shorter campaigns than TDA

the only thing launch TDA lacks compared to the other two is multiplayer, because DLCs and Horde Mode aren't on launch things

and we already know the DLC they're planning for TDA will be longer than TAG

[hybrid sparrow]

TDA is the longest Doom campaign out of the newer games

honestly I prefer its gameplay to Eternal's

[smoky reef]

That's completely normal, it's a total different gameplay

[deep mortar]

when can we expect the DLC?

[uneven dragon]

idk i'd give it a year tho

[deep mortar]

lol I expected it to be much less since they mentioned it with the release

[flat quail]

Hello ladies, gents, slayers, and sentinels

[wheat sigil]

gives us plenty of time to get good enough🥱

[deep mortar]

no rush to be honest just play the game the way you like

[uneven dragon]

siege part 3 🔥

[hard thistle]

Anyone worked out bersker bug ?

[split sun]

Not even getting a switch 2, not until they either release a new zelda, release the new tomodachi or drop prices, or a decent bundle I guess... so probably 2026

[split sun]

Crazy. I wasn't talking about the length though... it had more stuff. 2016 had those sick classic doom secret areas everywhere. Eternal had a damn hub world that was pretty darn cool to explore. Dark ages has... um... dragon and mech

[dire sonnet]

I'd like they add support for low end non-raytracing GPUs in the future.

[wheat sigil]

the way i wanna play is by improving at the game

[split sun]

I think thatd conflict with their interests...

[hybrid sparrow]

That's a strawman argument

[uneven dragon]

Dark Ages has tons of secret areas to find in many levels

[uneven dragon]

The reason why this game has raytracing is cause it would be a herculean effort to do lighting for all of the levels

[split sun]

Really? I havent found that many... I'm only up to level 12, but its still ridiculously underwhelming on the secrets side of things

[split sun]

No, its to partner with nvidia and get people to buy raytracing gpus

[wheat sigil]

how's that a strawman argument?😭

[split sun]

Idk what that means but nah you are a Strawman

[dire sonnet]

In Unreal there's fallback to realtime raster lights. I do believe Idtech engine also has this capability at the loss of lighting quality.

[split sun]

Lol of course it can

[hybrid sparrow]

I mean at some point games will stop having support for non raytracing gpu's, that's just how technological evolution works

Technology has been around for 8 years at this point

[wheat sigil]

a strawman is a form of informal fallacy where you misrepresent your opponent's argument to make it easier to refute

[split sun]

Yeah but they are artificially pushing for people to buy new gpus

[wheat sigil]

people love throwing around different fallacies at eachother lol

[split sun]

Ah, im sorry for that, but... its pretty difficult not to, considering the game lacks so much

[wheat sigil]

ad hominem for example, it's very often used and almost always misused

[split sun]

Pretty much any argument I could make would misrepresent the game and be difficult to argue against

[uneven dragon]

have you actually heard the interview with ID lol

the raytracing was to save development time

[split sun]

Nope, didn't know there was one

[wheat sigil]

yeah idk where the supposed strawman came from, you didn't misrepresent anyone

[split sun]

I misrepresented their perfect game that they glaze so much i think

[hybrid sparrow]

Yeah I used the wrong term, I was more focusing on how they gave two positives about the other games as a means to make the current one look worse, even though it doesn't actually lack those things

Well it lacks a hub world, that is disappointing

[split sun]

I've not found many people who love the game but don't glaze it

[upper oar]

Guys

[split sun]

I think the glazers are all idiots. I'm fine with people who genuinely like the game without glazing though, I have nothing against them

[uneven dragon]

eternal is the only doom game with one though 🤷‍♀️

[upper oar]

I have a problem with my doom

[uneven dragon]

what's the issue?

[split sun]

Yeah, and it was really cool to add it... unfortunately it didn't last past that, didn't even last to the dlc

[hybrid sparrow]

The story is mid, I can't see the toy collectables on a cool shelf, the colour palette looks significantly worse imo (not a fan of all the grey) and the mech and dragon sections are basically just something out of a tech demo

[upper oar]

@uneven dragon Every time I try to start the game, as soon as it starts the loading the game crashes

Game on ps5

[hybrid sparrow]

But the core gameplay is good and the more open level design is a welcome change

[upper oar]

I play on my ps5*

[uneven dragon]

Story is better than Eternal tho tbf and at least you can view them in the menu

[split sun]

I don't think the story is that bad, it is mid though... I just wish it didn't need so many cutscenes to convey, or was focused on so much... they forgot the core idea of doom. But that started in eternal, so I don't blame the dark ages for that

[gritty pasture]

Good morning y'all

[split sun]

Oooh how exciting the main menu

[uneven dragon]

man you get to look at the toys either way who fucking cares
this is such a minor thing

[split sun]

Speaking of the main menu, why do I need to see an ad for premium edition

[uneven dragon]

this was there for 2016 and Eternal too

[upper oar]

So can i solve This?

[split sun]

Me, and @hybrid sparrow, and probably a ton of other people. Get a life, jesus...

[split sun]

...for 2016?

[uneven dragon]

yeah there were ads for all the multiplayer dlcs and stuff

[split sun]

I don't remember that...
And also, I can't remember if eternal still showed it if you owned it

[uneven dragon]

"Get a life" when you're complaining about not being able to see collectibles on a shelf and rather just have a menu for them

[split sun]

...excuse me?

[uneven dragon]

2016 also advertises the other games to you on the menu

[split sun]

Damn right. I'm a physical guy

[split sun]

Im launching 2016 rn to check

I don't even remember it having DLC

[uneven dragon]

ah dang i dont play on ps5 so i dont know how to help, have you checked bethesda's support site for TDA?

[split sun]

??? Am i going crazy

[uneven dragon]

it had multiplayer dlc though idk if it's still offered anymore

[split sun]

Slim, pro or normal?

[candid jay]

man how do i get my game to stop crashing every time i try to load my save on mission 7 (i already previously finished the game before, just trying a harder difficulty)

[upper oar]

@uneven dragon I can't log in to my bethesda account so I don't think I can use the support

[split sun]

First I've heard of it, though I played it in early 2019

[uneven dragon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/699506065854824531/1378315124380794941/they-updated-doom-2016-s-main-menu-for-the-first-time-since-v0-scc0lwkt2mie1.webp?ex=683c277d&is=683ad5fd&hm=1d070eb6cb75a14931b8e2a6b830557cbb10c5dd89fc1b55f5ed40900c191ea2&
Doom 2016's menu is just full of advertisements

[upper oar]

And I can't use PlayStation support because I tried to launch the game on my sub-account and on that account it starts easily

[split sun]

When did they update it??

[fresh thicket]

Guys, has anyone fixed the black screen after launching the game? The sound is there, I've tried absolutely everything, but nothing helped.

[uneven dragon]

they updated it when multiplayer dlcs released, then slayer's club, then eternal, then TDA

[split sun]

Damn i miss when it wasn't like that...

[upper oar]

Can I make a video to show you the problem?

[split sun]

What platform

[upper oar]

Ps5

[split sun]

...which one?

Digital? Pro?

[upper oar]

The first model in disc version

[merry sapphire]

i mean the dlc did technically have a hub

[split sun]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Restored license?

[upper oar]

I@split sun I have had this problem for about a week, I have rebuilt the database and restored the licenses but nothing

[split sun]

Rebuilt the database? What do you mean by thay

[upper oar]

Idk how to say that, im italian and i Dont really know english that well

[merry sapphire]

its lowkey annoying since i already im on premium edition

[split sun]

Ah ok... have you tried reinstalling? Have any other games had this issue

[upper oar]

@split sun yeah i tried that too

[merry sapphire]

Doom the Dark Ages and Marvel rivals Should do a Collab

[upper oar]

Nothing at all

[split sun]

Hmm... is it a digital copy?

[upper oar]

Yeah it is

[split sun]

I don't play playstation 5 much, but can you make a new profile to try it?

[upper oar]

@split sun I talked about it before, I tried on my second account and it works on that one

So it's strange as a thing

[split sun]

Does doom eternal or other id games work?

[upper oar]

@split sun I can check

Im launching eternal

Eternal works normally

[frail plaza]

if you got stuff like medal running disable it and it should work

[split sun]

Hmmm... have you played the dark ages before normally or has it always been like this

[upper oar]

@split sun yeahAnd I'm sorry for that, I also had the golden armor since I also finished it in ultra nightmare

[split sun]

Is the bethesda account the same as on the second account?

[upper oar]

No

[split sun]

Is the second account signed in?

[upper oar]

Yes it is

[split sun]

To a different one? I wonder if your account may have been blocked somehow... you'll need to contact bethesda if that's the case

[upper oar]

@split sun the first account isnt signed in

[split sun]

Try making another account and signing into it with your bethesds account i guess

[upper oar]

So thats not the case

[split sun]

Ohhhhhhhhh you didn't sign into bethesda?

[upper oar]

Yeah, i tried but for some email problems i couldnt

[split sun]

Hmm... so is your first account signed into bethesda in doom eternal?

[upper oar]

No

[fresh thicket]

Tell me, what is this? My game freezes at the "loading" stage - I can hear the sounds of the game, and sometimes there is just a black screen

[split sun]

So you beat the game on ultra nightmare, you don't have a bethesda account and the game won't open without crashing instantly...

[hard thistle]

You guys actually answer questions or ignore people?
I asked earlier if anyone has found away to unlock the bersker throphie?

[upper oar]

Yes thats the case

[vital rapids]

One thing I would ask if id decides to give people a "dash" movement, is that they remember how great the game feels to some of us being able to play viably with strafe in this traditional FPS style, and keep that the case. Maybe even make shift-strafe fast if it seems good. I know id likes to respond to feedback, and have zero objection to dash existing if it's fun for people. Just please don't make it a hard or soft requirement to use it

[upper oar]

Oh and i had 3 save files

The first on hurt me plenty, my first run

The second on ultra nightmare

And the third on pandemonium, i was playing This one to get the armor

[split sun]

That is very annoying... hm... have you tried contacting support with your bethesda account?

They probably wouldn't be able to fix your account but maybe they could somehow find a fix?

[upper oar]

Im not signed in with the account that haves This problem

[split sun]

Yes but have you asked support anyways?
They won't be able to access your account but maybe they could find something

[fresh thicket]

😭

[upper oar]

As soon as I open the support it asks me to log in

[split sun]

What platform

[frail plaza]

if its the same thing as I had its the upscalers other than TAA getting messed with any background overlays for me specifically it was the clip recording software medal

[split sun]

Log into your other account

[upper oar]

Is it okay too?

[split sun]

You said your second account was logged in

[fresh thicket]

there are no programs for screen recording

[split sun]

Maybe? Explain your situation and that your other account is crashing but isn't signed in to bethesda.net

[fresh thicket]

pc, rx 6800xt+r5 7600x

[frail plaza]

do you have any app running that adds an overlay?

[upper oar]

Ok, tysm, Ill let you know

[fresh thicket]

overlay disabled in discord, steam

[split sun]

When did the issue start?

[fresh thicket]

I tried everything - it didn't help

[split sun]

What platform did you buy the game on?

[frail plaza]

amd has an overlay too maybe try turning that off

[vital rapids]

Does the game's TAA look way better than DLAA to anyone else? I was just playing with the settings looking at different scenes. Normally DLAA is the best, but I think TAA wins here

[fresh thicket]

after all the warnings, the loading screen appears and freezes there

[split sun]

Steam?

[split sun]

Try pressing shift tab to activate steam overlay

[fresh thicket]

I turned it off

[frail plaza]

type this in the launch options
+com_skipIntroVideo 1 if its like me you'll be able to get into the main menu atleast and switch to TAA if you have it set to fsr

[fresh thicket]

I tried this too, it didn't help

[split sun]

When did the issue start

Have you checked and/or updated all your drivers?

[fresh thicket]

I updated all the drivers, they are the latest version

I also updated the bios

[split sun]

When did the issue start

[hollow ingot]

+r_presentFromAsync 0 +r_antialiasing 1

Disables present from compute (problematic with overlays) and forces TAA

[fresh thicket]

when you first start the game( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG6dMagfJFY

[fresh thicket]

Unfortunately, that didn't help either

[split sun]

No I mean, when did it first start? Has it always been doing that?

[fresh thicket]

yes, it was like that at the first launch

[upper oar]

@split sun DAMN

I TRIED TO USE THE BETHESDA SUPPORT

IWHEN I PRESS SEND IT LOADS ON LOOP

I already figured it out, goodbye doom

[fresh thicket]

Maybe someone else has encountered a black screen when launching Doom?

[vital rapids]

Quite a few people had this around launch and fixed it by disabling the integrated GPU on their computers and/or updating their AMD drivers

[fresh thicket]

I did all this too, it didn't help

[vital rapids]

Did you set the game to a different mode before it stopped? Does it work if you add launch options like:
+r_mode -1 +r_customWidth 1920 +r_customHeight 1080 +r_fullscreen 0

[fresh thicket]

same thing, didn't help

[vital rapids]

Did you enable FSR? Some people have had luck forcibly breaking FSR so they can get in and switch it off. Involves finding the file amd_fidelityfx_vk.dll in your installation and moving/renaming it

[fresh thicket]

deleted, no result either

[vital rapids]

@fresh thicket it might be in the game's local files instead/also. Sorry I don't have it to hand, to check

If it's there, the change you made won't have an effect

Obviously all apps overlays should be stopped - steam, amd, medal, discord etc

[fresh thicket]

the problem is not this, it is all disabled, amd adrenaline is removed, only the driver is installed, with discord disabled, steam overlay disabled, and with xbox/game bar applications disabled via task manager did not give results

[vital rapids]

Did you change monitor refresh rate with it set to something in the game, or enable hdr?

[fresh thicket]

yes, I set it to 60 Hz, HDR was already off

I even reset the BIOS settings, updated it, and resetting the undervolting didn't give any results either

[vital rapids]

Is that the refresh rate your monitor is running at?

[fresh thicket]

my monitor frequency is 165Hz

2к

the second monitor is the same, turning it off also didn't give any results

[candid jay]

anyone knows when the crashing problem will get fixed

[vital rapids]

Yeah, I would be trying to override graphics settings until something works, because resetting them by removing profile.bin seems to reset game progress, and nobody wants that.
Instead, I think you can maybe do this on Windows by creating/editing the file %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\id Software\DOOMTheDarkAges\base\DOOMTheDarkAgesConfig.local - which doesn't get overwritten by cloud sync, and adding stuff liker_fullscreen 1 etc, but I haven't tried to do this with graphics settings specifically

and obvs you have to hunt the graphics settings down. But maybe this gives you a way to attack the problem, at least
Also, trying different graphics driver versions is key with the amount of bugs around atm, and disabling anything you have forced for the application from GPU control panel, and usual stuff like that
#tech-talk may be helpful

[rare flax]

But they don't need to arrive at that price because there are games which cost only 50€ (like Expedition 33) and are incredible games

[split gate]

I gotta play that game, I love turn-based stuff

[smoky reef]

It'll depend on the game studio and the game itself, for example GTA 6 it's gonna be around that 100% sadly but it's one of those games that can do that without actually being blamed that much

Expedition 33 is an amazing game and it's from a small new studio so the price make sense and I love to see things like that. You don't need thousands to get something amazing working

[meager vortex]

To those of you who enjoyed Doom: The Dark Ages, please look forward to the production of Doom Immortal.

The first chapter will be released later in 2026.

doom the dark ages dlc title is doom immortal

2026

[open abyss]

Hey everyone, just wanted to get some views from the community itself on TDA:

1. What are some of your gripes with TDA?, and why Is it music (it is one of mine, not a huge one, but still)? Is it the aesthetic? The story? Difficulty?
2. What do you think of the game's combat compared to the previous instalments?
3. Anything else you have to say, go ahead!!

[open abyss]

BOOOOOOOOO AI 🤮

[mild loom]

im kidding

[plain iron]

Ew ew ai ew

[open abyss]

Just throwing it out there, cause why the hell not, I finished the game yesterday and am gonna step back a bit just to get my thoughts in order, and in the meantime I'd love to discuss the game with you all! I played on Ultra Violence with no modifications to the sliders whatsoever, though, I plan on completing a nightmare run with some slider changes.

[open abyss]

dude your profile is awesome wth

[mild loom]

this is just my opinions:

1. My only gripes with TDA are that the music mixing is kinda weird, the songs are great as standalone tracks but they feel muted and a bit muffled in game for some reason, maybe they can fix that in the future

2. I think the games combat is way better and it feels way more immersive, every time you hit a successful parry at the last second it gets your blood pumping, like the shield is the only thing keeping you alive, its close quarters and ruthless.

3. I love the lore focused isntallment, and honestly the game looks unbelievable

[plain iron]

I think the story is good, best out of the 3. The art style for all doom games has always been phenomenal, the difficulty sliders make difficulty a non issue. Customise the way you want it to be. I love the music, FM did a amazing job.

The combat is super well polished, and well optimised to controller as well. The loop is interesting and isn't as dry as eternal feels for me.

My only main gripe is that it feels too short lmao

[mild loom]

thank you man, i think i found it online somewhere, was immediately like "finders keepers"

[frail bloom]

Well in terms of music, I thought the album was very well done but I have a couple gripes:

1. Ingame it's mixed terribly
2. In terms of the actual album, some of the boss fight tracks are not as unique as they should be like kreeds theme, and there is a lack of classic references across the board

The combat is pretty good, I like messing around, better than 2016's but slightly below eternal's? Or maybe the same I'm not too sure abt it yet
The story is alright, I think some plot points like the wraith within thira thing will be explained, but there are no big plot holes. My favorite parts were anything to do with the slayer. The difficulty(nightmare, lowest parry window) is pretty well balanced in my experience. My own personal gripes also come from the enemy roster, I would've liked more classic og enemies in their considering it's placement in the timeline but overall a very solid entry, hoping dlc blows this one away

[wheat sigil]

falters are few and inconsistent/buggy, this also makes weapons feel kinda unimpactful because no damage falter, you can't swap to individual weapons, and the game kinda favors a playstyle where you don't engage as much as possible and just parry a ton, which gets a bit repetitive
combat is good, and i probably won't think it better than eternal but i absolutely can't say for certain

parries are also too easy to hit

[stoic forge]

In Eternal I always wanted to close the distance to fight close quarters, which wasn’t really incentivized. TDA actually rewards my playstyle

[lavish fern]

hey i need help
ever since i downloaded doom tda and updated my unreal engine
marvel rivals crashes every 2 seconds
doom tda freezes with the music in the background
and star wars battlefront 2 crashes
how do i fix this

[honest vortex]

1. Dragon sections. It's pretty buggy albeit, not as buggy as Eternal. The music is a bit inconsistent (but does have absurdly high peaks that are on par, if not , possibly surpassing Mick Gordon). Sometimes you randomly die instantly from unclear things, especially from behind. Which is something that happened in 2016 Nightmare as well. Too many points of no return as well.

2. I love the combat, and it's my favorite combat. Also I love having an awesome melee combat system in an FPS for once. Reminds me Shadow Warrior 3.

3. It's very cool how shooting, melees, parries, runes, play and feed into each other as well as combos and cancels into each other.

It's a very cool style different from quick swapping but still allows similar, if not more depth and interesting interactions.

[lavish fern]

[bronze kraken]

Guys I need some advice, I have a RTX 2060 super and recently, Dark Ages has been crashing non-stop.
It has been handling the game real good for 90% of it basically but then at the last 5 chapters it just couldn't handle it.
I need to know if this is an issue with the game or the graphics card, because it's a new graphics card, I spent a lot of money to get it to work but the game still crashes.
The specifics of the crash are that suddenly, a bunch of pixels change colors and then it gives me a black screen.
Please I need help

It has been driving me crazy

[plain iron]

Hrr that sounds like a new issue. Haven't heard that before.

Hm. What's your vram amount?

[bronze kraken]

I updated all of the drivers at least 7 times, constantly re-downloading them and testing

[bronze kraken]

8GBs

[plain iron]

Hm. Enough for TDA.

Definitely a graphics issue, how old is your card? Is it plugged in correctly?

[bronze kraken]

I know, you know what's crazier? It's recommend for low settings, but I played 30 hours at high settings with no issues and now it just doesn't work anymore

[bronze kraken]

I bought it less than two weeks ago specifically to play TDA

[plain iron]

Shit.

[bronze kraken]

Were driver issues already fixed in these last days? For the game I mean, because I know it has been crashing a lot since release

But it never gave me problems until now

[plain iron]

Typically the driver issues happened at the start of the game, might wanna downgrade the drivers and see. Seems to be a common fix.

[bronze kraken]

Did that at least 5 times, nothing

[frail bloom]

@slim shuttle sorry for pinging, what do yu think abt this idea for glory kills?

Have 3 distinct glory kills for each top down angle that can be randomized

Top down front: 3

Top down back: 3

Top down side left: 3

Top down side right: 3

That way it's optional to not break the pace but allow for variety

(I know you're not a developer but hugo might consider it idk)

[candid jay]

whens next patch/hotfix coming mane i can't play ts 🥀

[brazen cove]

I have gripes about the combat. It’s fun but imo is a big step down compared to eternal. A lot of weapons feel mid and because of the slow swap + being unable to block during swaps, you’re not incentivized to swap. So you end up using the same weapon 90% of the time. Alternating shield/weapon can be fun but a bit repetitive. It can be a bit clunky also. There are some bugs that are very aggravating but those will probably be fixed

[bronze kraken]

Are you having similar issues to me?

[candid jay]

whats your issues

mine is just that it keeps crashing upon loading into game save, i played the prior week just fine and finished game completely

[bronze kraken]

@candid jay

[candid jay]

yours doens't sound like a game issue or maybe its a hardware/software thing

mine crashes as soon as it loads in

every single time

well before it even loaded in, as soon as i click on the save and it loads and crash

is yours a consistent issue or does it happen at random moments

[bronze kraken]

Now it has become consistent, yesterday it held up better

[candid jay]

ah

[bronze kraken]

But as I said, I played 30 hours with no issues and I have all drivers installed

[candid jay]

yea its been a week or so now, yea i played abt 30 hours in too it was fine until now

[bronze kraken]

I'm gonna call those guys that fixed my PC to see if they can help me

[candid jay]

they probably won't if your issue is game specific only to doom tda

BUT if it happens to other games to then yes definitely call

[bronze kraken]

I have other issues, the HDMI port makes a weird buzzing sound but only when I play War Thunder.
It doesn't crash tho

[plain iron]

what

[candid jay]

Yea okay might need to get that checked out

[plain iron]

That might just be a monitor issue or a cable issue lmao

[candid jay]

Yea right

Otherwise it should not be causing pixels issues or whatever

might need a cable replacement or monitor have sum issues

if not that then gpu got sum issues, thas all i can think of

[bronze kraken]

Yeah but it doesn't explain doom constantly crashing like it's having an heart attack.

Literally a bunch of pixels become bright green, purple, red and yellow and then the screen turns off and comes back on with a black screen.
I can still get out of the game, but it won't close unless I use windows's control panel

[candid jay]

yea but the thing is that issue doesnt sound like a doom issue, the whole color thingamajig doesnt sound like a game issue it sounds like a hardware issue

im not expert on that but thats just me ive used pc for many years now and have never had issues like that even when games do crashes

[bronze kraken]

I'm gonna call them and see if it actually has to do with the HDMI cable

[candid jay]

Ye, if you try a different one and it doesn't cause same issue then theres ur solution

[bronze kraken]

I'm gonna use this information you guys gave me, thank you a lot

[candid jay]

Best of luck fixing it!

[green thunder]

you might wanna get that checked..

[lofty folio]

Yo does anyone have a code for the verdant skin?

Or like a friend who has it and didn’t use it?

[sweet mist]

Does anyone know if there is a console command/Cvar setting that controls LoD? Wanted to mess around with Level of Detail on objects that are further away. Thanks for your time.

[lofty folio]

I don’t think there is, I haven’t checked

[sweet mist]

Gotcha, thanks for taking the time to respond

[candid jay]

should be easy just make an account to get one or smth idk loll

[lofty folio]

Do you have a code for the verdant skin?

[lofty folio]

Is because I can’t afford a good pc with the NVIDIA processor

[sweet mist]

Oh I dont even know what that is lol

[lofty folio]

Oh ok no problem

[candid jay]

what's that gotta do with wanting a skin code 🥀

[lofty folio]

Because it says that I have to buy an NVIDIA processor

I can’t enter the app because of that

[candid jay]

well not all nvidia gpus are expensive i think

but if ur amd then yea sad wont be possible

[lofty folio]

Alright

[candid jay]

im sure theres plenty of people with it lyin around if they havent cared much about it

[lofty folio]

I’ll search if anyone has one and don’t play doom or something, idk

[candid jay]

they dont even need to own doom to get the skin so if any of yo friends got nvidia idk just ask em to open up their app to get a free code

[candid jay]

sounds like u just want it for urself gng idk why anyone would go this far for a friend 🥀

[lofty folio]

Yeah but I can’t find anyone, is been like 4 days of non stop search, and my friend don’t have a pc

[stray stone]

Is the skin limited?

[candid jay]

theyre console?

[lofty folio]

Yeah, is for people who have a pc with an NVIDIA processor

[candid jay]

shouldn't be, as far as i remember anyone with nvidia app can open up and get a code

[candid jay]

bro says it like its something rare or exclusive, nvidia makes up majority of pc playerbase 😭 🙏 🙏

[lofty folio]

Yeah he has one but doesn’t have NVIDIA, we aren’t a gaming pc type people

[stray stone]

No i mean time limited

Im not getting the game till next 2-3 months

[lofty folio]

I know bro but I want to flex on him with the skins😭💔🥀

[candid jay]

mhmm i mean its not a crazy good skin or anything so i wouldnt bother much, but idk have friends that play on pc or smth shouldnt be hard ik plenty of people out there rn who doesnt even know abt the skin but can easily claim it rn

literally anyone in this chat rn someone who doesnt care abt skins prob still has the code unclaimed

[stray stone]

I have gaming laptop and Nvidia gpu but not the game yet

Can i just get the code and keep it ?

[lofty folio]

Yeah but there are like 125.296 players

[lofty folio]

Yeah you can, it stays in the Bethesda account until you redeem the code

[stray stone]

Ty🙏

[lofty folio]

No problem dude

[wraith sapphire]

I’ve been play tda so much I’ve realized going back to eternal how much I don’t like glory kills lols

[harsh egret]

Ikr

[wraith sapphire]

Yo how do you get that avatar?

For your pfp

[harsh egret]

Scroll up to the post in #announcements from earlier this month about it, its a discord quest thing

[wraith sapphire]

Ah ty

[harsh egret]

I dont actually remember if its still ongoing, should be

[wraith sapphire]

Ah dang it’s not

[harsh egret]

[analog schooner]

Hey guys ive got the game via the xbox app [thanks gamepass] but im stuck on Press A To Start.. no matter what i press on keyboard or controller... i cant get past this

[wraith sapphire]

Anyone have any tips for the Aggandon champion? I’m stuck on that part

[analog schooner]

i dont know what to do

[harsh egret]

In what way r u struggling

[wheat sigil]

parry->parry->parry
something like that

[harsh egret]

Lmao

[wheat sigil]

wait no, i forgot to wait a bit in between too

[analog schooner]

i dont know if im the only one with this issue

[hard thistle]

The thing about the champions, imo
Is that there's not too much of a strat to go on with them with the gold armor.

Just get very comfortable parrying their attacks and it'll set you up for Agaddon Hunters in general.

Don't crutch on the SSG or it'll make you ass at the game -
Try out the cycler or melee on him.

Parry the stuff up, and use gauntlets. Time the kick properly and you'll melt him.

[wraith sapphire]

Ty!!

[hard thistle]

Np at all.

I really do think champions should be faster or something. IDK. It just feels like there's not much of a strat to them and it makes it not too interesting.

agreed demzio

[wheat sigil]

agreed demzion

[harsh egret]

agreed demzi

[hard thistle]

agreed nemziod

[lofty folio]

IT WORKED

IT FINALLY WORKED

[candid jay]

yurp

[hard thistle]

Gg

[sweet mist]

I actually like the cinematic kills, like when you chainsaw a Mancubus that is stunned instead of just punching or kicking them. But Ive only seen a unique animation like that for the Mancubus. Is there a certain button combo to press when we do executions they can be more like glory kills, like the Mancubus chainsaw kill?

[hard thistle]

It's an Arial kill.
There should be one for every non-fodder. (Except ||cacodemon|| i think)

[sweet mist]

And on the side I have a Q - Are there any other 'classic arena' type shooters being played now besides Quake Champions? Id love to get back to a good versus Arena Shooter.

[sweet mist]

Oh, okay, so when its happening Ive been in the air each time? Gotcha, thank you!

[hard thistle]

Np

I just went outside and got ass blasted by smoke.

Apparently the Canada wildfires are smoking me out again.

[frail bloom]

There's one for the caco, from the back I think

[hard thistle]

Oh neat, haven't seen it yet actually.

[sweet mist]

Sorry to hear that, hopefully its under control soon

[wraith sapphire]

Y did you censor Cacodemon?

[sweet mist]

Yeah, Ill definitely try that on the next Caco I run into

[hard thistle]

Some people were weird a few days ago about demons in chat. Being caco looks all funny now and is called something else.

[wraith sapphire]

Ohh

[hard thistle]

huh

I actually think that was a different doom server. But still. Idk

[sweet mist]

What is it called now? It has a new name in Dark Ages?

[hard thistle]

Steve

caco hybrid

[sweet mist]

Haha

Have they said anything at all about the campaign DLC? Like by the end of the year or anything?

[barren shale]

TAG1 was 7 months after launch, so I'd expect it to be at least that long. Anything sooner is just a nice bonus

[frail bloom]

Nah I'd say a year

[hard thistle]

All I've heard for big stuff is the possibility Master Levels will come before DLC 1

[frail bloom]

Tag was rushed in some aspects due to the year 1 pass but they can take as much time as they want

[sweet mist]

Its so weird now with the industry cause before I would have said, release it in December if its done to make christmas sales - but then we see so many games knocking it out of the park for sales in like Feb, March, April, etc. Hard to say when the smart time to release it is, besides obviously after its done

Just funny how that all changed. But if it takes a year, it takes a year. I know they wont skimp on content for a DLC for this game

[hard thistle]

Here's to hoping we get events like we had in eternal though.

I think they gave more replayability than TAG

[frail bloom]

I think so too, no dragon, probably no mech, more slayer combat additions, more enemies.

If like tag, the enviroments might also be cooler

[oblique coyote]

Is it just me or some one else thinks that the GLORY KILLS are rubbish in this new Doom?

[sweet mist]

Doing an official Coop Mode for Eternal would have been difficult due to the way that combat system is - but Itd be dope if they gave us a Coop Horde mode to run through with friends, score attack, keep you playing forever

[frail bloom]

What is it now

Can yu elaborate

[hard thistle]

agreed

[sweet mist]

I meant make Coop for Dark Ages horde mode, not Eternal

[hard thistle]

A lot of people feel this way.

I personally disagree, because of the enemy count. But I know people got attached to glory kills so it's valid.

[pseudo rampart]

I think they’re far better than eternal, they disrupted the flow of action and in dark ages it has more of a rhythm to it

[oblique coyote]

Its like just a punch and the enemny explodes, where as in the previous DOOM you had a variaty of different glory kills wich made you feel savage

[hard thistle]

The animations def get old after 1,200 hours though lol

[hard thistle]

all the slow mo's in tda disrupt the flow of action

[oblique coyote]

Probably your right, maybe its just me but when I saw the lower version of these new executions is what made me decide to not fork out £60 for the game and instead I bought Oblivion

[frail bloom]

Oh here we go again. No we still have glory kills, two for each enemy. The reason they did this is the enemy count. For example, the hellknight room in hebeth. Once yu get them in the glory kill state, yu hit them and IMMEDIATELY turn to the other staggeree demon, why is that possible?!? Because they unlocked glory kills, the slo mo is so yu can turn around while yu scout out your surroundings

[vital rapids]

Are you using glory strike? As in, sprint jump into them while doing the finisher?
You get a glory kill animation when you do this instead of the ordinary finisher

[frail bloom]

Using the slow mo wrong

[pseudo rampart]

Not as much as a locked animation. Plus the small bit of slow motion helps give a quick break in the action without feeling like you’re being bogged down too much

[hard thistle]

other guy using glory kills wrong

I feel like in tda I'm the one doing it-
But in eternal I was watching the gameplay.

I think where everyone is going wrong is Hugo said we can do it however we want - but everyone is just clicking melee and calling it a day.

Try to stagger another demon, get behind the first one, wipe out two to charge power kick, stagger another with it then jump and shield kill the next..

Like get creative with it, and the system fucks. It's boring because people are making it boring.

[frail bloom]

Yu should be turning around and hitting other enemies while in slo mo, it doesn't lock yu

[hard thistle]

in tda I don't need a break the action ain't that crazy, in eternal it's a different story (my humble opinion of course)

[sweet mist]

Its also there to allow you to string deflects together, because if 4 Projectiles come at once at normal speed, youre never going to be able to Deflect each one away. The slow mo for the melee combat and deflection is purely out of gameplay necessity for the intense fighting scenarios you get into with multiple demons attacking at once with parryable attacks

[hard thistle]

I don't need slow mo for that

[pseudo rampart]

The glory kills in doom eternal also kill ALL of your motion, compared to TDA where you can retain your motion and even build motion using the glory kills

[vital rapids]

But you can also have the old style synced animation rip and tear kills by using glory strike.
So everybody wins

[hard thistle]

yeah but in tda the slow mo also ruins my motion

[frail bloom]

Yu do, it's how yu get health, and keep it flowing. Here is my proposal#the-dark-ages message

[vital rapids]

They're probably adding a slow mo toggle, they said on stream. In which case you will be able to try and chain deflections in real time

[hard thistle]

bro ion wanna dash jump every time I want a glory kill, and I want unique ones in tda they're all kinda just the same

[frail bloom]

Oh ye the slo mo toggle

[hard thistle]

that would be great

[vital rapids]

Maybe they will add more glory kills for you guys who want to do loads of them

[hard thistle]

nah doubt it, it'll take too much time

[pseudo rampart]

Maybe once/if mods come out you’ll get them

[hard thistle]

it's fine they aren't a MUST, I just miss em...

[frail bloom]

Again, yu can't have both, once they add slo mo toggle, yu shouldn't be asking for on ground glory kills, do yu wanna sabotage the game??

[hard thistle]

I'm on ps5 bro, no mod can save me

[vital rapids]

But it's sane that they didn't spend as much time on the glory kills for this, where they are voluntary side content, as they did for Eternal etc where the whole GK button press event is front and centre

[hard thistle]

how is that sabotaging the game??

[pseudo rampart]

Shi ion know buy a pc

[hard thistle]

maby in another life

[vital rapids]

It would kind of ruin this game's combat to have to do 12 glory kills one after another. They were boring enough in previous games, 10 minutes of them in a row I would be suicidal 🤣

[frail bloom]

Bc yu would be doing glory kills all the time, and thus ruining the flow, you either don't get the game, or you're asking for a different experience, at least THERE ARE glory kills

[hard thistle]

you never have to do glory kills unless u want health or a quick moment to breathe

[vital rapids]

Buuuut, if they're there anyway, maybe they could make it a toggle for people who want glory strike as a default finisher.

I don't think anyone would keep that toggle on for long though, it would suck with massive encounters

[pseudo rampart]

Not everyone plays on easy lmao

[hard thistle]

neither am I?

[vital rapids]

I know all the things I don't have to do. I went without a whole game I paid for because it was full of things people kept telling me I didn't have to do dude

[hard thistle]

elaborate

[frail bloom]

Whats the point of glory kills if yu won't do them anyway like seriously

Would be a waste of time

[somber canyon]

damnit, my PC overheated while streaming this game

my GPU really needs to change

[pseudo rampart]

There’s a LOT of time that went into the glory kills in 2016 and eternal. It’s also just better on development time to make animations like TDA instead of some glory kill animations in eternal that you never see

[hard thistle]

no you wouldn't bro the small enemies die in 1 hit so you only CAN not MUST glory kills on the bigger ones, they could make it a toggle but like I said ion expect that since it'll take too much time for no profit. All I'm saying is I miss the glory kills

I love talking about glory kills.

[hard thistle]

cuz when you do them they are badass, ion use the bfc doesn't mean it's "a waste of time"

[frail bloom]

They actually had more during development but it was getting frusrrating to play, it was the right call

[pseudo rampart]

In all honesty tho, I wish the berserk power up had locked glory kills. Yet again though the berserk power up only appears in a handful of missions so it would be a waste of time

[vital rapids]

It's better for combat flow in large battles to have most finishers unsynced without 1000 iframes

[hard thistle]

yeah ik, takes much less effort to do what they did in tda

[vale bear]

Hi, where can I report Doom TDA bugs?

[vital rapids]

GK would be a good thing on a power up for sure.

[hard thistle]

if you say so bro I'm not developer, I'm just giving my 2 cents on the matter

[keen blaze]

I finally got to launch the game and it's way fun

Hell knights fuck me up now though

[vital rapids]

Or a GK mod on a melee weapon if such a thing could be done, so you could disable it

[hard thistle]

One of the original things Hugo said was struggling to find a balance because by the time one glory kill ended, everything else unfaltered.

There's too many enemies to possibly be faltered at once. It's the best choice. The end.

[frail bloom]

I mean I offered a good solution that would allow variety and keep the better flowing system but 12 glory kills per enemy isn't good enough apparently

#the-dark-ages message

[pseudo rampart]

Thanks for the doom tag btw

[hard thistle]

I gotchu

[pseudo rampart]

I was wondering how everyone had it lmao

[hard thistle]

no bro 12 glory kills for 1 enemy is more then enough, just dash jumping all the time to get that animation is just stupid

[vital rapids]

It's nice when multiple enemies are cooked, to be able to finish them rapidly

[vital rapids]

Y tho? It's a small reward for a small effort.

[brazen cove]

Pretty sure jump and shield bash also does it

[hard thistle]

if it's the best choice why did they add jump glory kills at all?

[brazen cove]

I wouldn’t want glory kills in literally every finisher

[pseudo rampart]

Honestly the only drop glory kill I do is the Mancubus

[hard thistle]

to have a choice?

They are also far shorter than most glory kills.

[vital rapids]

So you can still have them without it being constant. Simple

[frail bloom]

How, it's not hard to do, at all. It rewards you for not just simply clicking the melee, yu just sound lazy

[hard thistle]

Anyways.
Real talk.

If the DLC's add a melee, what do we all hope it'll be

[pseudo rampart]

IT HAS TO BE A SWORD

[vital rapids]

Maybe they should make glory strike bindable to a button for people

[brazen cove]

It’ll probably be the crucible again

[hard thistle]

Oh dude, a whole ass Broadsword would be sick ngl

[vital rapids]

SWORD OBVIOUSLY. Preferably a flaming sword

[pseudo rampart]

I’m going to be so mad if we don’t get a sword of ANY kind in TDA

Metal sword, crucible, cardboard, I do not care I JUST WANT A SWORD

[hard thistle]

not about hard per say, it's about being repetitive

[pseudo rampart]

Or perhaps an axe would be quiet tasty too

[brazen cove]

You didn’t just complain about repetitive while advocating for all finisher to be GK 😂

[vital rapids]

There should be a righteous sword of justice for slaying demons.

[hard thistle]

that means game can still work even with glory kills tho right?

[frail bloom]

????????? But normal glory kills aren't, even tho jump glory kills are optional, yu don't make sense

[pseudo rampart]

Does anyone else think the dread mace was kinda underwhelming animation wise?

[vital rapids]

Yes. If they are not constant, right?

[brazen cove]

It is very slow yea

[hard thistle]

Oh dude...
A big ass axe.

[pseudo rampart]

Like it’s cool and I love the feeling of hitting hard, but when he swings it just look weird

[pseudo rampart]

Maybe a hammer like valen had

[open tulip]

is doom tda 60 fps on ps5

[pseudo rampart]

Should be

[frail bloom]

Yes

[pseudo rampart]

A sentinel spear would be kinda interesting too honestly

Wrong reply but still

[hard thistle]

True.

I'd kill to have a Sentinel Axe though, like the uncorrupted Marauder Axe.

[hard thistle]

yeah cuz ion gotta dash jump each time to get one

[vital rapids]

Could be kinda boring for kills, though. How about a nice glaive or halberd?

[open tulip]

Is it possible they will release an online mode

[hard thistle]

but you can make em constant, it just being slightly annoying that you gotta dash jump every time

[hard thistle]

There's console commands that are like "Toggle_nextplayer" and stuff. But idk. I don't think it's likely.

[frail bloom]

How ix that repetative, yu know 80% of glory kills yu do are in the front, and it plays the same one for each angle??? Having a randomizer is far better, ontop of the melee finisher system

[pseudo rampart]

I like that the glory kill discussion is still going on

[frail bloom]

Yu actually sound lazy

[hard thistle]

I'd kill for some sort of big chakram disks that are thrown on the third hit of a combo. Like Makyr Discs.

Imagine chucking the shield and comboing then chucking chakrams, or having them swoop behind you.

Actually that's what we need. Something that can poke behind you.

[velvet elbow]

Graduating in an hour and a half, the hats feel terrible

[pseudo rampart]

I just want a sword…

[hard thistle]

there's multiple glory kill animations for each angle bro, only some demons have like the same one. It being randomized isn't a problem, me being required to dash jump is imo

[hard thistle]

Congratulations on graduation!

[vital rapids]

Grats bro!

[hard thistle]

that's fine bro you can have that opinion, many do in fact that's why we got the new glory kill system in tda

[velvet elbow]

Bro I just want my diploma and leave

[hard thistle]

Time out the stupid glory kill talk

We got a fresh graduate here

Throw the hats in the air boah

[vital rapids]

Imagine striding into a battle with your sword to fight the demons...

[karmic dagger]

did you guys encounter a bug with pinning the masteries/challenges for each level? sometimes they dont get unpinned and i have to restart the game

[vital rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/aragorn-frodo-run-gif-12983861

[velvet elbow]

It’s hot here and they didn’t give me the right cords

[frail bloom]

Either yu can keep flow on the ground and do bad ass stuff like yu want on the air, or yu play eternal

It's that simple

[vital rapids]

Don't try to do any flips

[hard thistle]

Graduation never goes as planned. If that's all that went wrong strut that shit anyways lol.

My highschool graduation was declined by COVID. Lost out on the whole thing.

[hard thistle]

I played both

[velvet elbow]

If I do that they don’t give you your deploys, it’s very formal

[frail bloom]

What you're asking for is impossible

[vital rapids]

Probably best for everyone

[frail bloom]

And tedious

[hard thistle]

ion underestimate the id developers

[vital rapids]

I was bored of glory kills 10 minutes into 2016 tbh. But this is a different game!

[hard thistle]

wasn't tedious in 2016 and eternal, why would it be now

[vital rapids]

I am also not in 2016 chat banging on about GK. I play the game that suits my tastes

[hard thistle]

Alright.
Majority vote is for a sword or one notable mention was a glaive (I'd love a battle standard or chakram).

Real talk.
Should the Unmakyr (64 design) come back in the DLC?????

(Super done with the glory kill shit lmao)

[frail bloom]

There are way more enemies, that can corner yu, lack of verticality means there is no easy way out

[hard thistle]

I'm bored of the same punch punch kick animation in tda's "glory kills" but it is what it is.

[vital rapids]

This game has larger encounters

[frail bloom]

Are we done now

[hard thistle]

Yeah, we're talking about where did the Unmakyr go after Doom 64

[hard thistle]

yeah that's why we got so many 1 shot kill enemies

[brazen cove]

Bro read the room

[vital rapids]

The difference being, I am in TDA chat not liking GK much. I'm not in Eternal chat moaning about Eternal having Glory Kills, lol

[pseudo rampart]

Did he take it through the portal? If so then yes

[vital rapids]

Anyway

[hard thistle]

Tbh I don't remember.
Or it's never said.

[delicate grotto]

There’s different melee weapons if you get bored punching the demons into gibs
I get what you’re saying though, but I still think the melee system we have here flows better than standard glory kills.
I think a happy medium would be having a couple more unique animations tied to certain actions, leaving it up to the player if they want to execute quickly or do a fancy animation.

[pseudo rampart]

I mean I imagine everything he had came with him, like his shotguns

[hard thistle]

Trueee...

[vital rapids]

Yeah, glaive is good because it's basically a sword and an axe and in a pinch, a spear. Maximum demon choppage

[hard thistle]

damn ight bro my bad, but you can go in eternal chat n say gk are bad if you're asking me, ion mind people having a different opinion

[vital rapids]

A scythe could work if animated right

[pseudo rampart]

A scythe would be pretty cool ngl

[vital rapids]

But not so 100% sure Slayer + scythe sounds right

[hard thistle]

Ohhh a scythe is nuts.

[hard thistle]

Before tda I never would've imagined a flail tbh. I'm down for whatever their cooking.

[delicate grotto]

The guns he had going into Argent D’Nur were probably obsolete to their artillery.
Can also be assumed he lost most of his old weapons after the Sentinels found him on the brink of death in Doom 64.

[pseudo rampart]

Iirc he kept his shotguns cus he REALLY wanted his shotguns

[vital rapids]

I love the flail, and largely use it because of how fricking cool it is
There's utility, too. But smashing demons to bits with a flail is badass

[delicate grotto]

Yes, his shotgun is his closest friend

[hard thistle]

I guess I just imagine the Unmakyr was taken as a relic though.

Wait, is it the same one that's in Eternal, but the Makyrs got ahold of it? I never bothered checking.

[pseudo rampart]

I wonder if the reason he’s so mad in 2016 and eternal is because he doesn’t have his shotguns anymore

Well, his super shot he still has

[hard thistle]

I think the Dark Ages is why he's so mad, by the end of it lmao.

[delicate grotto]

That would an interesting theory. Never thought about it either tbh. I don’t remember what the codex entry said about it.

[pseudo rampart]

But not his combat shotgun. They’re just random UAC shotguns iirc

[pseudo rampart]

True, it’s the second time afaik

[vital rapids]

Fair enough man. I do think it goes beyond whether we like/dislike. They just have to be rarer with so many big multiple enemy encounters or it'd get bogged down

[hard thistle]

@hard thistle
Hey I got one for ya.

Is the Unmakyr in Eternal the same Unmaker from Doom 64?
What happened to it after Doom 64 and can it return in The Dark Ages DLC do you think?

[delicate grotto]

I really wish the double bladed chainsaw made a return in this game

Probably wouldn’t work well with TDA’s systems though

[pseudo rampart]

Why is this still going on you guys are trying to throw bricks through a concrete wall, neither of you are winning the argument 😭

[hard thistle]

We need the Double Saw on a staff as a melee weapon.

[delicate grotto]

Yes

[hard thistle]

Oh shit, Chainsaw melee weapon would go crazy.

[frail bloom]

I offered a good solution but NOOOOOO

Whatever

[pseudo rampart]

Doesn’t feel like it would fit in TDA. The chainsaw shield is plenty of chainsaw imo

[delicate grotto]

True, but it still sounds sick

[hard thistle]

Doom 3 Flashlight as fourth melee weapon.

[pseudo rampart]

Is doom 3 still canon I can’t remember

Ik it’s not doom guy you play as but did the events still take place

[vital rapids]

Crap. I have a pole chainsaw and you just reminded me I have to use it. Oh well

[pseudo rampart]

Doom slayer gets a Milwaukee battery powered pole saw

[vital rapids]

Nobody will know I am secretly channeling the slayer as I tidy up the tree line 😂

[pseudo rampart]

Next doom game is the slayer trying to make it in his blue collar 9-5

[hard thistle]

Hedge Slayer

[vital rapids]

disappears to rip and tear

[pseudo rampart]

Y’all think the slayer is dewalt or Milwaukee

[sudden rover]

I wanna suggest a gpu upgrade for a friend to play this at 1080p

She'll be coming up from a 1660 super

Would a 3050 handle TDA at mild settings at that res?

She has a steam deck at least so she's not locked from the game

[hard thistle]

They aren't the same. The Unmaykr likely came first.

[hard thistle]

Oh interesting.
Do we know what happened to the one from 64?

My dad's making a computer profile on his computer and we are thinking of buying Xbox game pass for PC so I can play the dark ages on Phoenix for 15$

(Phoenix is a collaborative effort of a Nvidia 4070 TI SUPER, 11th gen Intel i7 32 GB RAM, 3.5 TB NVMe and AI based overclocking motherboard for both CPU & GPU)

[graceful lion]

low

i recommend a 3060 instead

[sudden rover]

Got it

[slate kestrel]

why does this game just not let me block sometimes

[wraith sapphire]

I finally killed the Aggadon champion 😭

On 13 health too

[hard thistle]

We have no clue.

[wispy parrot]

How even with this new doom has the double chainsaw not returned

[vital rapids]

I guess it doesn't fit the setting. So. Shield saw

[wispy parrot]

It could’ve worked

We have plasma weapons in medieval setting

[wraith sapphire]

Those are sentinel weapons tho

I’m pretty sure?

[slate kestrel]

yeah we get them in sentinel locations, and the accelerator is literally in a lab lol

[hard thistle]

I'd like some random old UAC weapons to pop up in DLC

[plucky haven]

can i be honest the dark ages feels a bit wierd to play

[wispy parrot]

What’s weird about it

[cunning slate]

The shield can “wear out” if hit repeatedly, and needs to recover. There is a fill meter in the lower left that shows the shield’s level of damage.

[slate kestrel]

Not that. My shield will literally be in my hand and not parry

[graceful lion]

known bug, throw your shield and recall it by blocking to fix it
