[dark thunder]

get hunted by rednecks

[half plaza]

well i was going to say it just exists in its habitat but that works too

both are getting hunted by probably a texan

[dark thunder]

day in the loif of a true cosmic realm geezer

I wonder why the cosmic realm is dying, and what happend that was so bad the wraiths left it, I hope we get more answers

Also the statues in the cosmic realm that have tentacles at the bottom kinda look like headless maykrs

[honest vortex]

I found out the issue. Apparently the final upgrade for the Shredder got unequipped.

It's a common bug that screws with the functionality of the gun.

I reequipped the final upgrade, and was able to get Pincushion to work, and now the challenge is complete lol

[honest vortex]

@twilit pumice everything's complete lol

[twilit pumice]

Only Machine Games Wolfenstein.
The New Order and Old blood are both good. The New Colossus gameplay is terrible and has very noticeable story flaws. And Youngblood is decisive

[spark elm]

So how do I get a second baron to spawn at arenas in Reckoning?

(most annoying challenge in the entire game)

[barren warren]

iirc you go to the gore nest encounter and first kill demons until one baron spawns

then ignore that baron and kill other demons until a second baron spawns

[mental grotto]

Sounds chill ngl

[twilit pumice]

This would be badass to have. Not like we can't pause and filter through the menus already to do so. It'll just be quicker

[thin zinc]

I do wish it had melee swapping in game and you could mix it up

Yeah that woulda been sweet.

[fleet spruce]

Personally, i was expecting having all melees to be their own buttons back then

[tired rock]

It would have too much input lol

Unless you're on MnK

Controller? Not possible, not even with the ones with extra button

If they add that, then they should do the same thing with shield.

[twilit pumice]

For controller, they could have a rune/melee wheel with the dpad. Pretty sure the dpad is barely used in TDA

Left/right sides of dpad for Rune/Melee

[wooden dust]

i am trying to lanuch doom the dark ages but every time it says sorry something went wrong and anti-tamper link, does anyone know how to solve it?

[sly gull]

I'm praying dark ages will have mod compatibility in the future, I wanna make my own levels badd

[hard thistle]

The only thing that has a function is the down d-pad for scanning the environment, the others arent used at all. In eternal, they were for switching between normal and freeze grenades, hopefully its the same here but for runes and melee in the next update if there is one

[waxen rivet]

Hot take: I think I might like Dark Ages more than Eternal only by a little bit.

[mild loom]

Not such a hot take, both games are incredible

[waxen rivet]

[waxen rivet]

Real

[wooden leaf]

We done a melee only run yet?

[low locust]

tbh disappointed with his gameplay & being shortly written in the game or y'know a real codex would've been nice.

[proud vine]

i think i saw it somewhere

[proud vine]

it has some kind of lore in its codex entry but nothing major

[low locust]

[edgy pine]

equivalent of knives only in CoD?

[wooden leaf]

I don’t play cod but maybe?

[edgy pine]

fair

[remote thunder]

if shield throw, shield bash, and shield runes count into that, then yeah

[proud vine]

techncially the shield is a meele weapon

[remote thunder]

it's the kinda run you do once and then forget about cause it's kinda boring

[edgy pine]

knife throws are fun

[signal crescent]

Well, the majority of the story of Argent'Dnur has been written in Doom Eternal, so of course there isn't much material left now
There's less codex, but more frontforward exposition

[signal crescent]

I read some papers about Id Tech 8, and it has been said that the engine has been built in order to facilitate the management of composents, especially concerning the levels
Plus, we got a modding support for Doom Eternal, which wasn't planned at first, they added it because they were impressed by how the community manage to make mods with the few low tier tools they have
So, nothing official, but i think we should get a official modding support way sooner than for Doom Eternal (i mean, i hope so)

[slim tulip]

Very provokant take: This games ost is much better than it was in previous

[sly gull]

It's good but personally I disagree.

[serene cloud]

I actually loved doom the dark ages lol

Its something different from eternal, like its not better or worse its different and thats good

[unborn palm]

Doom had a update righte ? what was fixed

[formal root]

I heard the berserker trophy glitch

some bugs with the shieldsaw

they added the battle knight and aracnotron codexes

[unborn palm]

yes it bugs

[formal root]

made the atlan and dragon fights more enjoyable I think

[unborn palm]

how they made this ?

[foggy breach]

I like how tiny the demons are in the Atlan gameplay, lmao

[unborn palm]

ah ok but with the thropy no one knowes ?

is it take long ? i dont want to hurry but its good to know when its fixed

[honest vortex]

Really got ratio'd and "skill issued. Fix Tik Tok brain" because I criticized 2016's unskippable cutscenes on r/Doom

[honest vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-spongebob-fish-stare-what-gif-16202349

[remote thunder]

tiktok brain is when you want games to be better, classic

[broken crow]

Personally I think that the cutscenes in 2016 were just a little bit better than eternal and dark ages because it makes you feel more like you're in control and you're the one doing things

Except for the speech with sam

I will not defend that cutscene it sucks ass it should be skippable

I just like the first person cutscenes

[honest vortex]

It's not that I don't like the cutscenes.

I just don't like them being unskippable.

[serene cloud]

i think the fight against chutullu its so easy for a boss fight

[half plaza]

It's not crazy to say that. It's not

[delicate grotto]

And yet so fun. Imo.
id cooked with their Boss fights this time. Easily the best set of bosses in the franchise.

[serene cloud]

that´s for sure, i hope the dlc wont be so expensive

[delicate grotto]

Probably $30-40 USD

[cinder estuary]

Graphic looks better

Looks less blurry on console, by a lot actually

It has, but the cutscenes are on half life style where you can still control the slayer.

Unbroken first person narrative

[sudden rover]

not yet it seems

[waxen rivet]

Ooooo pretty

[wooden leaf]

Peak

[serene cloud]

I used to think that but after hours of playing I found melee useful sometimes and actually fun to use except the dreadmace

[serene cloud]

ouch

no you need to know how to use it, I play nightmare mode

you don´t understand

[delicate grotto]

That looks fucking awful lol. Power to you though, for trying it. I doubt melee is worth it atp.

For the exception of the Dreadmace, maybe

Have fun with those updated encounters in the next couple maps

[remote thunder]

you can make it work with shield saw and other falters but yeah, you wanna hold off on melee at least until you have the 3rd and 4th gauntlet hits upgraded

you can just blow off the cannons, you get infinite ammo with impaler

staying alive long enough to do that is the tricky part

mace is a nuke even at 50% damage to enemies, and i don't think the sliders change how many parries it takes to falter things

i know armor damage doesn't change either, which is a small mercy

[slim tulip]

nah, the soldier will sneeze on you and you are dead

[stoic forge]

Guys when do I start fighting bosses? Like what counts as a boss in this game? Half way through and not sure

[delicate grotto]

Sounds worse than 2016 pistol only UN run

[stoic forge]

Aggadon?

[slim tulip]

tried the first two levels max sliders
definetely not my fun zone
I felt like a masochist bruh

[stoic forge]

I can’t figure out my combat strategy. I have fun with melee but shooting long range doesn’t kill as fast as I’d like so I get hit.

[delicate grotto]

The weapons in this game aren’t designed to be long range. Most have short-medium range. Lot of fall off damage too. It’s to incentivize getting closer to the enemy. The game’s combat loop definitely takes a full playthrough until you start to develop your own playstyle, in my experience at least. Melee is crucial.

There are bosses in the first 3/4ths of the game, but they’re more like how the Marauder was presented in Doom Eternal.

There are actual Bosses with a health bar and all though. You won’t see them until the last act of the game.

[remote thunder]

you should start to understand just how much of a nightmare this is around level 4

the impaler pickup room got a bunch of additional enemies

an extra hell knight, a nightmare imp, and a couple of stone imps

i mean it's the only scary encounter in the level but with max sliders, everything is fucked

[slim tulip]

its so satisfying to no hit agadddon hunter champion by stun locking him in punches and staggers

[cobalt fog]

Reposting this laggy ass video for the funny https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1370923197519630428/1382869340432633916/copy_B5CA7E9F-EB4C-4F71-8EE0-C9D0B172A8B3.mov?ex=684d61af&is=684c102f&hm=8117a71f526d9fe28056a2a9726a4bda5ed375dbb77c08cadb62ce2903e32a7f&

[split gate]

Fellas, the more I listen to TDA’s ost, the more I realise it really is leaning more into Classic Doom’s

[cobalt fog]

I realized that the moment I entered the cosmic realm and realized the ambient track sounded exactly like one of doom 2s tracks in hell

[split gate]

Infernal Chasm has this violin? part to it that really reminds me of a classic Doom track but I cannot tell which it is

[cobalt fog]

What?

Oh, maybe?

Idk it’s a very edgy thing to do

[frank turtle]

asscrack

[frank turtle]

yep, a surprising amount of this game resembles classic doom

[neon gust]

I honestly had not noticed any connections to Classic Doom OST at any point during TDA, which level do you mean?

[signal crescent]

I think he wanted to say gameplay-wise

[queen lintel]

idk why but the hellgates remind me of oblivion

[twilit pumice]

Know what track?
I need to replay Doom 2 sometime

[cobalt fog]

I’d have to listen to them all again to find the exact one

[frank turtle]

why don't soulspheres heal armor on UN?

[signal crescent]

Because it's UN (i guess)

[graceful lion]

they dont?

[vital rapids]

It's clearly a reference imo. Makes sense since Oblivion Remaster released from same publisher

looks to see if the Finishing Move interview got uploaded yet

[twilit pumice]

Luckily Classic Doom is one of the best osts.

[frank turtle]

nah they only heal health for me

interesting

[boreal locust]

I just want the platinum already of this game and this berserker trophy is not obtainable

[graceful lion]

either they coded the soulspheres weirdly to whree thye needed to add that to every difficulty, or its just to make you a bit more butthurt

[graceful lion]

they still working on a ps5 fix

[queen lintel]

interesting if it were to be true

[cobalt fog]

How in the hell did you get that to happen

[vital rapids]

We all know this is a feature of tunables

[queen lintel]

rather confirmed

[boreal locust]

Yeah ik but it’s desperate moments

[frank turtle]

it might be cause life sigls act like soul spheres in UN

[graceful lion]

what

soul spheres are the things that instantly put you to max hp/ammo right?

[vital rapids]

I honestly don't see how they can not be a reference. They're just... Oblivion Gates aren't they

[queen lintel]

which sliders

I'm currently doing an ultra nightmare run like that

yeah

my attempt today got me halfway through level 3

[frank turtle]

I'm honestly surprised we didn't get pain elementals in tda knowing there's lost souls

[vital rapids]

Hugo has a laptop in his office like Gus Fring, and on it he selected @frank turtle > properties > tunables > turned wtf and BS sliders up to 90% and checked the "lol" box

[queen lintel]

no wait level 4 it was after the mech

[frank turtle]

[lilac swan]

There was lost souls in 2016 but it didn't have pain elementals

[frank turtle]

oh yeah that's right

gotta finish that game

[queen lintel]

they prolly didn't make it down there like the cacos did

[frank turtle]

it's the only doom game I haven't completed yet

[delicate grotto]

DLC
Hopefully.

Although the Pain Elementals in DE were super buggy and (reportedly) a pain in the ass to code. Pun unintended.

[queen lintel]

parrying is fun shield is fren

[delicate grotto]

I love them

[queen lintel]

however idk why I do this to myself

[vital rapids]

Whatcha running on those sliders?

[twilit pumice]

Possibly in future DLC. Hopefully archvile comes in later

[wooden leaf]

Am i the only one that likes the first shield rune?

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-you-can-gif-15523445

try nightmare, it took me 2 playthroughs to learn everything

This is a fun way to go I think. It will be a fresh combat experience unlearning bad habits

[uncut needle]

yeha thats the plan. idk i felt like it clicked in some spots and didnt in others
enhanced ahzrak feltl ike a weird massive jump in difficulty to me

[twilit pumice]

Wasn't Horde mode like that in Eternal?
Yet to play Eternal's Horde mode. Took a break from Eternal to play Atomic Heart

[frank turtle]

I just cut a fucking cyber demon in HALF

[wheat sigil]

play MLs instead lol

[queen lintel]

Is that the one with the "sexy" murderbots?

[twilit pumice]

I'm loving it so far

[vital rapids]

All in a day's work for a Slayer. Rip and tear

[frank turtle]

yep

[twilit pumice]

MLs?

[wheat sigil]

master levels

[graceful lion]

theres atomic heart 2 or dlc coming iirc

[delicate grotto]

Thinking about it, kind of wild we didn’t have a double Cyberdemon encounter.

[twilit pumice]

I probably will
Doom Eternal's gameplay is starting to take shape on me. Last playthrough I felt the guns were weak, but that was purely due to my misunderstanding of the game

[uncut needle]

ok about to start my nightmare playthrough how do i get good

[queen lintel]

become the slayer

[twilit pumice]

I'm psyched.
And the Ill game they're helping to publish also looks good

[twilit pumice]

Would be fun. Cyberdemon is one of my favs in the game

[delicate grotto]

Learn falter combos.
Third punch with melee is a guaranteed hard falter. Meaning any demon, including super heavies, will be interrupted, allowing you to follow up with another attack.

[uncut needle]

why would i use third punch when i can swing the big funny stick

[frank turtle]

I bet we'll see that in dlc

[delicate grotto]

🙏

[twilit pumice]

Are you starting a new game?

[vital rapids]

Multi cyberdemons would be some fun management to pull off

[uncut needle]

its a joke

[queen lintel]

reminds me of a "fun" level

[uncut needle]

ngl i expected TDA to have a lot of 2016 testament stuff in it but thats probably the DLC

especially Morak being shoehorned in at the last few levels like a damn MCU setup

[wooden leaf]

Why didn’t the slayer give payment?

Is he stupid?

[queen lintel]

he did in lead

its has value

[twilit pumice]

Ok.. sorry for taking you seriously for a moment and not realizing your joke..
Didn't know if swapping to nightmare difficulty was a thing in TDA. Cuz you know how modifiable difficulty is in TDA.

[wooden leaf]

Like imagine u sell cinema tickets and the guy shoots u

[uncut needle]

oohhhhhh gotcha

forgot about that tbh i usually dont change settings
new game

also why do i get the "nightmare" skin when beating UV

ok 1 thng i dont get about this game is holding right click sometimes just melees for me?

[hazy jolt]

can you disable the thing where when you get melee hit theres a claw/bite mark on the screen, its distracting

[rocky badger]

Best way to do the Shredder/pincushion Mastery challenge?

Doing it on UN so I can't replay missions. I'm on mission 13

[hollow hedge]

Hit large demons in groups first with the shield, and let the shredder do the rest. It was the hardest mastery for me as I started it about halfway through as well.

[tranquil bluff]

prioritize mancubuses

[rocky badger]

You think it's possible to complete all the Mastery challenges without replaying missions?

[uncut needle]

yeah if u lock in (or can abuse respawning)

[wooden leaf]

Silly little guys

[hollow hedge]

It is possible, but I didn't do it.

[rocky badger]

Respawning? Like when fighting bosses, wait for more medium and light enemies to spawn and keep farming them?

[uncut needle]

yea lol
wait misread. i meant like u die and then re do the arena to farm

[hollow hedge]

Yeah, you'll end up locking into a lot of the big imps doing that.

[rocky badger]

Trying to do it on UN so no dying. Although I may or may not be using the Alt+F4 exploit

[vital rapids]

Oh, OST CD and Vinyl going up

http://youtube.com/post/UgkxDjawnN9DVOd5OGItfa6PN1reryHYPTIz

[queen lintel]

Funny

[honest vortex]

Resurrection is pretty good since there's a Revenant and Pinky next to some fodder in the first arena

Also the BFC introduction area is literally the best area in the game to farm ANY weapon mastery.

[queen lintel]

[inner wigeon]

I take back this claim

[remote thunder]

gasp...! my le game has le... mechanics... NO! THIS CAN'T BE!

[delicate grotto]

Seems to boil down to whether or not the person playing likes parry mechanics.

If you don’t like parry mechanics, you’re not gonna like the game.

Calling the game mid is a disservice though, if he doesn’t consider it bad.

But what else is going to get clicks.

Makes decent points though. To be fair.

And also some bad ones lol

[daring onyx]

[astral ravine]

I was thinking of a new mechanic that can be applicable in the DLC

I'll call it the "golden parry" mechanic. Its a type of attack or projectile that flashes gold and cannot be spam shield parried, meaning you have to be precise with the timing to deflect it and if you failed to do so, it either deals a massive damage or depletes all your shield meter. But if you are able to deflect it its a guaranteed daze on normal enemies and a massive damage to bosses/enemy leaders

[signal crescent]

That's an interesting mechanic, but i'm afraid that it will be too punitive for the average casual player (which compose the majority of the player base)
Doom Eternal DLC's already has theses types of criticisms too

[vital rapids]

Eternal is crying out to have parry mechanics added tbh

[zinc crater]

As someone who has 600 hours in eternal, I still can’t see how dark ages is bad. I wasn’t going in expecting to have eternal 2.0

[astral ravine]

yeah and I want it to be balanced out by making it rare in the DLC but a frequent occurence in master levels. Since Doom doesn't really introduce new mechanic in master levels they just take in DLC mechanics and tweak it a bit to make it more difficult, it would be good to introduce this in the DLC and then make it a norm in master levels.

[zinc crater]

And I’ve really enjoyed it. The parrying mechanics are really fun especially on higher difficulty. Especially with the cyberdemon where I know it’s game over if I mess up a parry

[vital rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/harry-potter-gif-25336971

[signal crescent]

Not bad, but for some people, the dlc was too hard

[astral ravine]

I think TAG 2 is fair difficulty wise

[signal crescent]

Yeah, they reduce the difficulty a little, precisely because of the crisiticms about that for TAG 1

[zinc crater]

I liked ancient gods 1 and 2 for different reasons. TAG 1 because of the challenge and TAG 2 because you become Thor lol

Believe me I love my master level enemy randomizer maps but I don’t need every aspect of doom to be ball bustingly hard

[astral ravine]

but yeah, introduce the golden parry mechanic in DLC, but make it more like a tutorial there and go haywire with it in the master levels

[zinc crater]

Which there doesn’t seem to be many people like that in the doom community. I love the challenges but I don’t need everything to be like that

[astral ravine]

Honestly the biggest problem I have with TDA boss fights is how much you can cheese them by spamming the shield parry and it would be interesting if DLC/Master levels introduce a mechanic that punishes you for doing this to certain enemy types

[delicate grotto]

Seems many wanted TDA to pull a Doom 2. Be the same exact same game with extra content. Essentially a glorified DLC expansion. Expectations were “Doom Eternal but with a Shield.” There really wasn’t much room left to improve Doom Eternal’s combat. Expanding on it would only further bloat the game. A different direction was needed, and sure TDA isn’t without its flaws, but the arguments surrounding it are all about what it did different from Eternal.

[astral ravine]

This, thank you you got it. Its very hard to make Doom eternal 2 without changing the core mechanic of the game or making it bloated. Eternal was almost as balanced as it can get with the playstyle, a sequel to it would just be another DLC expansion

[vital rapids]

Which is ironic because some parts of the community aggressively stonewalled all discussion of how Eternal changed things, and suggested the only possible reason anyone could dislike those changes were personal flaws

Which as an opinion, fine. But it seems a bit funny now

[zinc crater]

If you more doom eternal, then play doom eternal

Download custom master levels, etc. people were already complaining about the price of the game. If it was eternal 2.0, it would be the same problem people have with the cod franchise

[delicate grotto]

No glory kills… No Mick Gordon… Oh no you can’t button mash 2 hotkeys to instantly kill a Cyberdemon anymore… Oh no I can use one gun to beat the game even though I’m using a variety of different tools and mechanics in conjunction with it which definitely doesn’t offset quickswapping.

[zinc crater]

Same shit different disc

[astral ravine]

I think this is why the Devs essentially gave us the tools needed to make Doom eternal levels. Because if we want more Doom eternal content its up to the modding community to do it now

[signal crescent]

It's a shame they pulled it out this late thought

4 years after the game release, the game's community was basically dead during this period

[delicate grotto]

It’s funny, if this game had glory kills, I can assure you the wagon hoppers would love it. Even if it took away from the flow of combat. As long as they get that adrenaline fix.

It’s insane what a talking point that is. Glory kills. It legitimately makes or breaks the game for a lot of NuDoom fans.

[vital rapids]

I mean, Eternal is right there, man. You can play it now and have a blast if that's what you'd prefer to do, man. Nobody took it away

[astral ravine]

I've gotten used to the 150% speed. Next stop will either be to make the projectiles slower or faster

[vital rapids]

Absolutely. Breaks for me

[signal crescent]

I understand, it was such a good addition to the gameplay loop for 2016 and Eternal

[willow beacon]

150% speed max proj speed is so fun

[signal crescent]

But not so much for TDA yeah, that why they took it out

[astral ravine]

yeah but its also interesting to see slow, homing walls blocking your bullets too

like, the fact that projectiles are homing and act as walls in this game is what makes them so scary at slow speed

[remote thunder]

having fun with the unstrafeable homing projectiles? i love shield bash iframe slop btw

[delicate grotto]

It was a cool addition and I love them personally, but if the game is immediately a downgrade because it doesn’t include them, I just can’t understand it. Why do animations take precedence over the actual gameplay for so many players. Hell, I’d argue you have more control over the power fantasy now with the new melee system over 2016 and Eternal.

[signal crescent]

Please tell me its sarcasm

I could explain to you why it is like that, but i wont, i'm too tired

because Rage era Id sucks yeah I agree

[vital rapids]

Thing is, they are still there.
And if people use them, id may increase the variety

[astral ravine]

that's alot of stuff to fix

If it was 79 times bigger, it would have been released in 2032 lol

Change yours sliders values then
Try and try until you find what's best for you

[astral ravine]

lay low on the staminan drink

I mean, that what they added that, for quick and easy experimentation

play something else then

Oh well, that explain everything then, you simply got tired of the game

[hard thistle]

I also finished it thrice then dipped

[vital rapids]

3x is a lot tbf

[harsh egret]

i heard theres a console command that makes enemies faster that worked for eternal that apparently works for tda so maybe thats smth u can look into idk

[delicate grotto]

Many complain the punches and kicks are boring and uninteresting, despite their purpose being vastly different from glory kills. They’re not supposed to be a replacement. They’re not supposed to exceed glory kills in terms of style. They’re meant as a gameplay mechanic, and for you to use said mechanic to do the cool shit yourself. You can never string attacks together in 2016 or Eternal like you can in this game.

[hard thistle]

wdym never string attacks?

[vital rapids]

Use the sprint jump. Let it be known you use the sprint jump. Feed back asking for more variety if you want it. Simples

[vital rapids]

Yeah in fairness you can chain 300 punches on one enemy in Eternal

[hard thistle]

eternal is peak

[signal crescent]

Same ahah

[hard thistle]

condolences

[signal crescent]

Let's go play Kaiser Campaign, i assure you your skills will be back real quick

[delicate grotto]

In Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal:
Shoot focus demon. Falter surrounding demons. Glory kill focus demon.

In Doom TDA: Parry projectile. Falter demons. Punch combo an Imp. Parry incoming projectile. Kick super heavy closing in, follow up with an SSG or Chainshot.

Simplified situations but you get the point.

[vital rapids]

Ultrakill's supposed to be good

[signal crescent]

It's very good

[delicate grotto]

You can’t move or power up another attack following a Glory Kill. Whereas with the melee system, you can, and many of the weapons are designed around it.

[summer cloak]

Guys

[signal crescent]

Yeah bro ?

[summer cloak]

Wassup? I’ve got an issue

For some reason, i did everything in the abyssal forest

But it says i got 10/11 secrets

And it’s stuck at 99%

Is it a bug?

[signal crescent]

You probably didnt finish all the level challenges

[summer cloak]

I did that too

[arctic verge]

War never changes

[signal crescent]

Wrong channel bud

[hard thistle]

u probably missed a golden coin or something

[arctic verge]

Maybe

[summer cloak]

I’ll send a pic in the screenshots

Hold up

[vital rapids]

Unless you're the Slayer in which case it changes every game these days

[signal crescent]

For a second i thought you were talking about The Golden Coins, the Doom 2 mod

[arctic verge]

True

[signal crescent]

Hey hey, no geo politics stuff here

[summer cloak]

Sent there

[vital rapids]

We've got enough on our plate with these demons to rip and tear
Without worrying about the conflicts of puny normal humans

[delicate grotto]

Did you go to all life Sigil locations, because sometimes a hidden Sigil counts as a secret. You might’ve skipped out on finding your way to it if you thought you didn’t need it.

[hard thistle]

geo politics?

[summer cloak]

How many sigils on that phase?

[vital rapids]

Neo geo politics

https://tenor.com/view/art-of-fighting-games-ryo-gif-12282280

[hard thistle]

yeah ur missing some secret that isn't a collectable

[stoic sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-gif-2470683115406026117

[delicate grotto]

I’m not sure, but I’d recommend checking your map’s surroundings regularly to see if a Sigil icon pops up nearby. Secret markers will reveal what they are when you get close enough.

[summer cloak]

Probably a life sigil but if there is only one which i already got… it’s bugged

[vital rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-eternal-gif-20780580

[signal crescent]

You we see the screenshot ?

[stoic sleet]

Me when i see Guts

[delicate grotto]

There’s usually 2+ per level. You don’t have to pick it up, just go to the location it’s in.

[hard thistle]

go to the areas in the map that are dark/not explored

[summer cloak]

Yea i sent one

[signal crescent]

Where ?

[summer cloak]

On the screenshots

[signal crescent]

Oh ok, i thought it was in this channel 😅

[summer cloak]

Yea i think it’s on the wrong to semtnhere. Found tho.

Thanks for the help guys, had to do a quick search hahaha and did this level 3 times already

[stoic forge]

This game is hard.

[signal crescent]

Yeah, it's more likely that you died, and the game didn't save the "secret found" when you get to the sigil life

[stoic forge]

I’m just on HMP but I die several times at some encounters

[vital rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/sacha-baron-cohen-great-success-yay-gif-4185058

[vital rapids]

Means you're at the sweet spot for you 👌🏻

[delicate grotto]

Glad I’m not the only one who thought this my first time playing.

[dusky yew]

I love how he looks when he is undead

[delicate grotto]

Enhanced the game a bit but still, died more 1st time than Eternal, which really wasn’t that hard for me.

[honest vortex]

Idk why but I never really liked how the Eternal Baron looked

I feel like the only person who thinks Cosmic Barons look cooler and more intimidating than the Eternal Barons.

I don't even find the Eternal Barons cool or intimidating in the slightest and I don't like their color scheme very much

Eternal Barons are just kinda.... boring looking? A bit plastic toy like with unappealing colors

Yet apparently the vast majority prefer their look over Cosmic Barons for whatever reason.

[signal crescent]

Everybody knows that 2016 Baron of Hell > others versions

[honest vortex]

2016 Baron is my favorite. But Eternal Baron is the weakest Baron design in the series IMO.

I like the Classic games , 64, and the Cosmic Baron over the Eternal Baron.

[signal crescent]

I agree, i don't really like Eternal Baron design either

[honest vortex]

Cosmic Baron is probably my second favorite Baron design.

He's not all that far off from the 2016 one IMO

[torpid crane]

2016 baron goated
the change was a huge reason why I hated the eternal demon designs for a while

[signal crescent]

At least, there is a mod to change their skin

[torpid crane]

also the cacodemon changes
2016 demons look like demons
eternal looks like monsters
best way I can put it

[honest vortex]

In quality I mean. Cosmic Baron is not that far off in coolness and intimidation from the 2016 Baron

[signal crescent]

Yeah, that the whole ambience change
2016 wanted to be more spooky horrific, while Eternal dive right into the epic style

[honest vortex]

I'd say:

1. 2016 Baron
2. Cosmic Baron (but is pretty close to the #1 with 2016)
3. DOOM 64 Baron
4. 1993/II Baron
   Very very distant 6. Eternal Baron

[torpid crane]

question for yall
am I the only one who feels like dark ages was
not exactly rushed but not fully realized?
has less collectibles, skins, etc. Than eternal.
Also I get strong vibes that it at some point was a quake game in dev

[signal crescent]

I disagree

[torpid crane]

dark ages is v good BTW had a wonderful time

[signal crescent]

There is less collectables, but more levels, and way more diversity in terms of gameplay

[honest vortex]

I think all three games aren't fully realized to an extent.

But Dark Ages did better than the first two.

[torpid crane]

but if something comes out like "this was a quake game at one point"
I won't be surprised

removing glory kills was just a mistake
flat out

[signal crescent]

We had a conversation about that 40 minutes ago, you're late to the argument/debate buddy

[torpid crane]

what argument

[signal crescent]

Scroll up a little

[torpid crane]

no
I dont wanna argue with people
I don't have a strong opinion
I just think removing them was a mistake
das it
das the end of the statement

if we disagree that's fine
ain't gotta make a whole thing about em

[silent surge]

it wasn’t, per hugo in the playstation podcast interview
glory kills still exist, just in a smaller fashion. the new strike system offers more mobility and situational awareness of what’s going on around you (especially since you can look).
i do wish we had i frames though. you did in the other games.
interestingly, enemy shots that were already fired would continue, but no new shots would fire until after you left the GK state. so you could use it tactfully

[torpid crane]

I think ripping spines from enemies and tearing them in half was cool
I dont really care about benefits or whatever

[silent surge]

do an above or behind GK for that effect in TDA

[torpid crane]

its very limited
don't play semantics with me you know what I meant

[uneven dragon]

jump before pressing E

[silent surge]

i do know what you mean. you wish the system was still there from 2016/eternal. and that’s ok. those are just the options you have in TDA.

they are a huge aspect in the series

[torpid crane]

im aware

I kinda wanna do just like
an ultra nightmare run modified to be baby mode just for the skin
but also campaign is much longer than the others
but I also wanna do pandemonium at 150% and low item values

also question for yall
how did yall do the campaign in like 11 hours?
bc I did a 100% on uv and it took like 25
I didn't even die much at all

like maybe 3 times

[pine rapids]

something about berserker trophy on PS5? 😦

[scenic lichen]

Fuck these mancs at the vagary champion

75% damage to demons is not it early game

[silent surge]

it’s actually a lot quicker than you’d think, first playthroughs are rough though. take Level 16, Karthul, there’s only 2 required fights up top, and 1 below, so only 3 in total.

100% adds time but you can just route it in

[barren heart]

I can play doom dark ages on my desktop pc local install having Battle.net standard edition, but I can’t on GeForce now, it won’t let me sync Battle.net to say I own it, is this a known problem ? I have ultimate tier.

[torpid crane]

why use battlenet?

[barren heart]

That’s the edition I bought ?

No matter what I do in GeForce now it won’t let my sync Battle.net edition to say I own it

[half plaza]

When i'm in a "being as stubborn as possible" competition and my opponent is this dude

If you want glory kills play Eternal/2016

They still exist

[silent surge]

you can also run past a lot of fights

[torpid crane]

how dare I have a different opinion
I didn't come here to argue with you dude you don't have to be a dick about it i don't even know you
I miss them
I wish they were still here
that's the whole thought

Jesus
random people on the internet just wanna fight over any small opinion

[vital rapids]

They are but they're optional
If you use them and wish there was more variety, feed back to id

[half plaza]

I'm saying you should be more open minded as to why they're not as prominent

[silent surge]

gameplay wise, i like it better this way myself. i’d be curious to see it this way in the other games too

[bronze kraken]

Hey guys, I need to ask y'all something

[half plaza]

It feels a lot snappier

[vital rapids]

I'd love to play through the other games with just non-synced finishers and continuous flow of combat. That would be incredibly sweet

[half plaza]

And you still get i-frames on purple highlighted hits so there's still that breath of air

[bronze kraken]

As I said a few weeks ago, I've been having problems with constant crashes and wasn't able to play the game properly.
Turns out it was all because of faulty NVIDIA drivers, I know for sure y'all have played the game and still do, so please can you tell what version of your NVIDIA graphics card drivers you are playing on?

[vital rapids]

Unfortunately it varies from PC to PC. I use the latest drivers without issue

[silent surge]

oh yea? good good

[bronze kraken]

Damn it

[bronze kraken]

Were you having issues during the first days of the release of the game?

[torpid crane]

I know why they aren't
I just like them and think theyre cool
you were not saying to be open minded you were directly heckling me and being a prick
I wasn't attacking you or anything
I liked them
I wish they had full implementation like before
that's literally it
I like the new gameplay style but miss glory kills so therefore I think it was a mistake imo to remove them
its nothing against anyone or anything
Jesus

[bronze kraken]

I know they "kinda" fixed issues with drivers, did yours start working fine after these issues?

[vital rapids]

Not this game, but I had issues with others and had to roll back. I think it was Dec 24 drivers that were good but I can't be sure now

[torpid crane]

the fix i heard for this is to roll back to old drivers

[half plaza]

It's not a mistake though it literally works better for the system here

[bronze kraken]

Aight, when did you change to the most recent drivers?

[bronze kraken]

I did, multiple times, still nothing.
If I go earlier than march the game forces me to update them

[torpid crane]

im not going to argue with you
I had an opinion
that's it
God forbid it not match yours

[torpid crane]

sorry man, I got nothing.
could try a clean install but I bet you already tried that probably

[bronze kraken]

Yes, at least 6 times

[white kayak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F45itz_3_eY

[vital rapids]

I started tracking the current ones again after the Oblivion Remastered release but before Doom, so April-May

[torpid crane]

sorry man I got nothing

[white kayak]

Big man, big Doom. It works!

[bronze kraken]

I see, so it is different

[full barn]

wait wait wait in the world spear's codex entry it says that those deemed ''worthy'' by the guardians return to their villages bearing a shard of the spear itself

[full barn]

does that mean thira went there?

[vital rapids]

I get it man. Personally I didn't like them and people got very shirty with me for that back then

[torpid crane]

dude doom community is like the least accepting of any type of criticism of any I've ever seen

[vital rapids]

There seems to be different behaviour for different CPU/Motherboard combos. I would be trying the late 2024 ones as the problems became bad this year

[bronze kraken]

Mine is a RTX 2060 super

[torpid crane]

if you had a problem with doom eternal back in the day they just made fun of you and said you were bad at games

was the game a glitchy crashing mess on xbox at launch?
oh somehow that was my fault

[vital rapids]

Also sometimes I think you catch the blowback from people who got that Eternal ridicule with both barrels, because now it's mostly Eternal fans complaining and people love the rewenge
Expect "skill issue" at some point 🤣

"How the turntables"

[torpid crane]

did every bit of eternal on un
have 100+ hours
etc.
that game has fuckin problems and things I don't like

when that game didn't win any awards I wasn't surprised

[vital rapids]

They all do. And we're all in it together

We're all here to rip and tear in the end

[bright current]

I think it’s cool to say that there’s room to get better as long as it’s not in a demeaning way

[torpid crane]

I still think the next doom might be a horror game

[vital rapids]

Doom 3 style? Absolutely here for it. The rage would be quite something though

[wheat sigil]

discard those people, a good bit of the community is very intransigent unaccepting of criticism
as a side note, anybody genuinely saying skill issue is not good at the game

[torpid crane]

intransigent?

[wheat sigil]

"unwilling or refusing to change one's views or to agree about something."

[short hedge]

Does anyone have a spare Ranger skin? I could swap a Verdant for it

[lament grove]

i have finally gotten all achievements

[vital rapids]

Grats man!

[vital vine]

Man this game is a mess. Crashes, sound issues, graphics bugs. Unplayable for me

Guess I’ll wait for the next update

[willow beacon]

I couldn’t play it at all until this most recent update, hopefully next one fixes it for you

[torpid crane]

every time someone says that more people should play pc I just think of that old meme
pc players: "yeah man pc master race, this is the best"
also pc players with every pc version of a multiplat game: "damn this shit is a buggy mess on pc"

not making fun of you or anything, I just always remember that

[honest vortex]

Hugo Martin already confirmed it wasn't.

[honest vortex]

But ...Act Man said....

[vital rapids]

Often there are skill issues involved and those people should lern 2 use a PC but these days there are so many driver issues

[bright current]

Im ok with no glory kills i just need the ability to toggle slow mo off asap lol

[torpid crane]

I've got all the main consoles
(cept a switch 2, but that's intentional)
and I still get a LOT of use out of my series x
if I think a game is gonna be too demanding or have a bad pc port I get it on xbox
I can still talk and stream to discord for free and everything is convenient

honestly my ps5 is a paperweight

unless you like their exclusives(and a lot of them are veryyyy similar)
a ps5 is kinda bad

[delicate grotto]

Luckily a toggle is in the works

I was surprised the option to turn it off wasn’t in the game either.

Especially when pushing for more accessibility with TDA

[bright current]

right, like they had all these customizable options at launch

and you miss that.

but whatever, it’s not ruining the experience, just a bit annoying

[vital rapids]

I would 100% play on a games console as my main system if I could stand to play on them that way, but it's not my thing
Kinda jealous as it's cheap and convenient
I do play on the Switch, though - handheld play is great
Will probably get a Switch 2 as well, because integrated real mouse and pad is a literal game changer for FPS. PC controls effectively

[delicate grotto]

I’ve only ever played FPS on console. Switching to kbm is a hard change, and I’ve never committed to it enough for it to stick. Console gaming is cheaper and shooters are my favorite genre so I opt to stick with it.

[bright current]

I got steamdeck as my handheld, its great cuz I get connect to my ps5 with a free app instead of paying for ps portal

[delicate grotto]

Yes I could hook up a controller to my laptop, but it’s a laptop, it can’t run the games my PS5 can

[torpid crane]

I love playing on controller
can't imagine not doing so

I have my pc hooked up to my TV
I still play with controller only

[vital rapids]

I just can't do it with console sticks unless it's something quite simple like doom 64, or I can use gyro aim which "fixes" the ability to do fine aiming quickly a little bit, just enough for very light play
I have bought console FPS and not been able to get on with them many times, because I have slightly more money than sense

[vital rapids]

Yeh, same applies I could hook a mouse and keyboard up to my Xbox, but it can't play games like my PC can
It mostly gets used by the kids

[torpid crane]

no idea how people do gyro aiming
I just imagine people moving the entire controller around like an insane person

[delicate grotto]

Controller just feels better imo. Movement is smoother/tighter and less snappy than with KBM. That’s just me though.
I’m sure it feels foreign to use a controller when you’re not used to it. When I go weeks without playing it’s always a bit of curve to get used to again.

[vital rapids]

It's nice with a Switch or a pro pad for some games. Gunslinger is good - light gun vibes basically

[vital rapids]

It's funny man. It's the same thing from opposite sides of the line
I have respect for people who can do it with a controller tbh - I am super crap without the precision/snap of a mouse. Like a 3 day noob
(instead of a 4 day noob)

My nephew asked me to play shooters with him as he was in awe at his ancient uncle playing fast fps on a PC. He has a console..
I was a total shambling confused embarrassment trying to even survive with a controller

[full barn]

ok wtf i was playing chapter 2 and when i clicked on chapter 3 it reset my progress on ch2

just straight up reset my progress like i didnt just complete the level

fuck it bro i think ill do this when summer break comes around

eternal wasnt this buggy

is this why they call it pandemonium mode

prince asscrack himself messes with your saves as an extra layer of difficulty

[hard thistle]

no

[full barn]

we already went through this yesterday bro other countries exist

shit my bad

[hard thistle]

he just lives in the wrong country

[vital rapids]

agreed. That "other countries" schtick is just liberal bullshit. Disregard it

[cinder estuary]

I need to test something

When you guys see an arachnotron, what is your way of killing it

[hard thistle]

no u don't

[hard thistle]

shoot it until it dies

As expected from the guy named guts, very uncreative

[cinder estuary]

guy named nuts from berk

[sonic turret]

We who?

[hard thistle]

us

[sonic turret]

How do you know?

[hard thistle]

gut feeling

[vital rapids]

depends on the situation, but they have to go down quickly. Usually shield bash -> melee or shotgun. Sometimes impaler
rarely pincushion

[cinder estuary]

I find that the best way to quickly dispatch of them is getting a shield charge and bashing them, you can instantly use a glory kill on them as you hit

Or chainshot -> bash -> melee

I've been having fun figuring out different combos for each enemy

[torpid crane]

in dark ages the suit we're wearing isnt actually the praetor suit right?

[hard thistle]

nope

[torpid crane]

I still wanna know about the wretch

[hard thistle]

probably dlc

[vital rapids]

Yeh, I mostly charge/falter and melee. If I don't want the position they're at or need to focus something else I will switch it up, whatever as long as they don't get to fire much

[cinder estuary]

Cooked Rocket -> Bash -> Glory Kill on revenants

The more I play the more I realize the most broken and annoying demons are

Imps (every single kind of imp)
Chaingunners

Holy fuck the imps that throw the barrier while constantly jumping around make me want to kill myself

[vital rapids]

I only really hate Nightmare Imps. Ganking asshats

[full barn]

theyre so flimsy in this game usually shield bash + ssg puts them down easily

[full barn]

dude chaingunners shouldve never been in the game honestly bro FUCK chaingunners

imps too theyre the worst enemies to fight

[barren warren]

nightmare imps throwing a fence and then dashing from behind it making them not only hard to see but hard to hit is straight up evil game design

[full barn]

were the 300 different imp variants really necessary

[vital rapids]

I like that taking down arachnotrons quickly is important
whiplashes are weird, much like nightmare imps - ie mostly not a big deal but then sometimes if your awareness/movement is off they get you

[barren warren]

dlc cyber imps and cosmic imps please

[full barn]

also damn the combat shotty in this game is my fav if only it didnt get overshadowed by the ssg as soon as you got it

[full barn]

wait what are the invisible imps called

[barren warren]

nightmare imps

[lapis vessel]

i need help

[vital rapids]

those are the nightmare imps. The ganking asshats

[hard thistle]

go to a doctor then

[full barn]

fuck those guys

[lapis vessel]

can yall try to figure put why doom the dark ages wont launch on my PC

[full barn]

ermmmm we dont know whats in your pc

specs, platform, all that

[vital rapids]

seems like you launched it 3 minutes ago
is it launching without the window showing or something?

[hard thistle]

u have to buy the game first

[full barn]

i especially hate the lunge attack that these guys have its always so unpredictable if theyll even hit you or not

that shit is the hardest to parry for me

[vital rapids]

yeah - these and the whiplash will absolutely get you if your awareness is off for a second

[barren warren]

i feel like they should give that attack a more noticeable audio cue and/or the sparkle effect that turrets have before shooting

[full barn]

that and the cosmic baron and the whiplash

out of all the demons in eternal they brought back the most cancerous one

hey atleast its not the carcass

[barren warren]

i still find it odd that they gave them the blood maykr’s cross projectile instead of a wave one like enhanced asscrack phase 3

[hard thistle]

all low level fodder, what's the issue

[full barn]

tell me you havent played the game without telling me you havent played the game

[hard thistle]

tell me u have skill issue without telling me

[full barn]

bait used to be believable

[hard thistle]

whatever helps u sleep at night bro

[remote thunder]

truth nuke

[full barn]

honk mimimmimimi

fr tho fuck nightmare imps and whiplashes

[hard thistle]

just git gud

[full barn]

are we deadass

[foggy breach]

the whiplash is cancerous

[remote thunder]

idk about that, the game doesn't tell you this but the parry doesn't function at all like parries in other games. that is, there's no recovery time between parry attempts let alone a spam prevention system

[full barn]

actually the baron isnt that bad i take it back his entire thing is being in your face but the other 2 they suck

[lapis vessel]

it just completely crashes my PC

[full barn]

what are your specs

[lapis vessel]

i have a 4060 with a core i5 14400f with windows 11

[hard thistle]

🚬

[lapis vessel]

microsoft store didnt give me any warnings

it justlet me download it

[full barn]

did you update your drivers

[vital rapids]

yeh... it's the weird movement combined with 90% of the time them going down quickly

[lapis vessel]

its all update to date but i can check again..

gpu is up to date

[willow beacon]

Im gonna go for a max sliders run soon and I know im gonna hate them so much

[vital rapids]

complacency bad

[remote thunder]

this is a parry only agaddon champion kill where i literally just mash mouse2 for every parry. zero timing involved. i'm surprised this isn't widely known https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1249410344502165665/1374463143077609532/lmfao2.mp4?ex=684dc80d&is=684c768d&hm=a8e9fce7b3f580899f4b0ec4220535fa4bb9973f4bd4be6cd41da93800a2a1fc&

[hard thistle]

it ain't gonna be fun

[lapis vessel]

everythong is fine

[short hedge]

Does anyone have a spare Ranger code? I'd ring up the pizza place myself, but my phone plan doesn't cover international calls

[lapis vessel]

all up to date

[full barn]

idk honestly it might be your cpu but then again i dont know much about cpus

[vital rapids]

does anyone have any enemies where they think "ahhh crap I hate fighting these guys" ?
I was thinking about this and this is one of the few games (for me) where even the challenging enemies you are happy to see

[hard thistle]

the push back when u parry is so fucking annoying

[vital rapids]

because the fight will be fun

[lapis vessel]

i have this update but it dosent seem important: 2025-04 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 24H2 for x64 (KB5056579

[full barn]

the amount of times i got thrown off the map after a parry

[foggy breach]

I hate and love the Cosmic Baron, I get pure satisfaction after I bully them to death

[vital rapids]

wow that seems incredibly lame
I can see why nobody tries it

[remote thunder]

did this just never come up during playtesting or something

[full barn]

i fucking loathe the tentacle acolyte dudes

[remote thunder]

the parry window slider is completely meaningless lmfao

[full barn]

your parries were on time tho

[remote thunder]

i think i recorded one of these with an input overlay, but i don't time anything in the video "correctly"

[full barn]

that would be interesting to watch

[vital rapids]

all 358 of them :\

[hard thistle]

why does every game nowadays need a parry mechanic

[remote thunder]

i recorded this after binding block to scroll up and down https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1249410344502165665/1374481075736150056/lmfao3.mp4?ex=684dd8c1&is=684c8741&hm=b7490f5eb3c0e568241b9d5be45afbbe8358ae0e364596d3e28d4014ec02725d&

[vital rapids]

I mean, it isn't.

[remote thunder]

it is, because there's zero recovery time between parry attempts

each block input counts as a separate parry, even when the shield is visually up

[full barn]

ive def landed some parries when i was sure they wouldnt connect

gonna try beating the shit out of l2 next time i hop on

[remote thunder]

think of parrying in souls games where you can't act for a while after attempting a parry, that doesn't exist here

[full barn]

the parry system in general is sketchy

[remote thunder]

you could theoretically click mouse2 on every other frame, at 60fps that'd be m2 -> 16.67ms gap -> m2, and each one would count as a separate parry attempt

[vital rapids]

don't play them so can't relate on that score. I like that I can do the thing when I press to do the thing when combat is fast

[full barn]

wonder if thats intentional or not

[remote thunder]

this means that the lowest and highest parry window settings are functionally identical

[full barn]

might be because they wanted the system to be simple enough for new players to grasp

[remote thunder]

nothing stops you from spamming the button which functionally gives you an infinite parry window

[vital rapids]

"nothing stops you"?
apart from that being shit and not fun, what needs to stop you

[remote thunder]

the game lol, it's bad design

[hard thistle]

bros really defending a flaw in the game that can easily be fixed

[remote thunder]

now that i know this exists, it's genuinely mentally taxing to try to unlearn the habit ESPECIALLY because it's optimal

[full barn]

i wonder if this game is getting a horde mode or not

[vital rapids]

Nah, I just haven't encountered "spamming parry". I parry. If I time it well, it works. If the parry window is small, I have to time it better. If I do it wrong, the parry doesn't work
Bear in mind you're talking about a way you abused the system that you want the game to stop you being able to do here

it's just not something I would have considered doing

[remote thunder]

it's like learning to quickswap (talking about speedrunner level quickswapping) and then trying to stop yourself from doing it

that mental interference feels so bad that i'd rather just do the thing until it gets patched

[vital rapids]

if it needs to be fixed, it needs to be fixed
although, could you work around yourself actively doing it by not actively doing it in the meantime?
I know it's hacky but it might work

[remote thunder]

to make another analogy, it's like trying to walk like you don't know how to after having done it on autopilot for 50 years

[vital rapids]

what have you done on autopilot, spammed parry?

other games allow this?

[full barn]

how would they go about fixing it though esp cuz you need the shield to block stuff too not just parry

[torpid crane]

prob eventually

[remote thunder]

no, it's pretty uniquely broken here

[hard thistle]

should have launched with one but guess we'll wait a year or 2

[remote thunder]

any other game i can think of with a parry mechanic has a spam prevention system/recovery frames after a parry attempt

[full barn]

agreed though honestly they shouldve added horde to compensate for the lack of a multiplayer

[remote thunder]

dmc 3, which released 20 years before this game, has exactly that

[hard thistle]

anything other then the story, but nope we got nothing

[full barn]

wait nvm they could just make it so that you cant spam your shield every frame

[vital rapids]

any other game i can think of with a parry mechanic I've never hit up against this, but I guess you're probably right
why not not spam parry tho

[full barn]

i dont think the devs intended you to spam it

[vital rapids]

and you didn't answer my question before, but I'm interested. If no other games with parry mechanics allow parry spamming, how did parry spamming become an autopilot habit for you? Isn't there another game where you do it, then?

[vital rapids]

no, presumably not. I admit I hadn't even considered people would do this. It sounds sucky and not fun

[hard thistle]

which is why it needs to be fixed

[full barn]

yeah same i had no idea you could just spam your shield

[remote thunder]

how did parry spamming become an autopilot habit for you?
because it works in this game specifically, doesn't work in elden ring for example and so i don't do it there

[vital rapids]

presumably other games have this "protection" already as a norm, so it will not prevent the rest of us from getting a parry very quickly when we do one

[vital rapids]

so you do it if the game doesn't stop you from doing it. Does this mean it's fun for you?

or is it just to get an advantage

[remote thunder]

idk man, i'll take advantage of it while it's there. won't miss it when it's gone though (yes)

[vital rapids]

like taking advantage of ai derp or w/e

[vital rapids]

understood

[remote thunder]

tech discoveries in any other game work this way, it's generally much easier to learn things than to unlearn them

[vital rapids]

I guess report it then, if it's busting up the parry mechanic for some people they'll want to get it sorted

[remote thunder]

unlearning muscle memory is really annoying, especially when it's beneficial

it's so deeply ingrained that you don't consciously think about it, you just do it

it's not quite at a "your spinal cord sends the impulse before your brain does" level, that's reserved for things like taking your hand off a hot stove, but engaging system 2 thinking to stop a system 1 process is massively taxing on your reaction time and decision making

[vital rapids]

Perhaps they should make it adjustable/togglable. Then we can see how it affects the game

[remote thunder]

which is a long way of saying you really suck until you unlearn the habit

[vital rapids]

I am sure at some point in the heat of combat I have parried, then parried again without thinking about it, it would suck to die for a 500ms delay or whatever

although I guess it's fine in other games, and up to id to playtest it

and the way you put it, sounds like a required thing

for me the equivalent would be when you notice AI can't cope with something
and the dev has to fix that thing because there is a 99% chance you will cheese it. It becomes as you say a game mechanic

[bold venture]

I find it funny that the way the Slayer killed the Old one is by giving them aBrain aneurysm.

[remote thunder]

my take on this is that doom's not really about precision so it's probably fine if this stays

[vital rapids]

you say that, but dude you have probably infected all of us with this now

[remote thunder]

i think there's technically a lockout system, like if you start parrying before an attack animation has even started because you think the enemy in front of you will attack, that won't count

[vital rapids]

it's not going to lurk at the back of our minds and just happen when under duress.. oh no

[remote thunder]

i don't like being pessimistic about things like this but it's nowhere near as game-altering as quickswapping so it'll probably stay

i mean quickswapping stayed too but getting rid of it beyond a nothingburger, symbolic "nerf", like giving pb a set and impossible to cancel cooldown would be so much work

[vital rapids]

I think it would only be that way to make the game accessible or because it affects responsiveness. But they definitely seem to want to make hard content with it. So maybe it needs to be adjustable

And maybe set by default at harder difficulties

Bear in mind this is a basic thing you're talking about for games with parry mechanics and a few of us hadn't even encountered it
I bet a lot of FPS/doom fans are quite new to this kind of thing

[remote thunder]

the simple nuke solution would be to bind parrying to its own button, but they won't do that

[honest vortex]

We have T7 Jin parry in this game with auto block on whiff

[remote thunder]

truth nuke holy fuck

but they'll have to pull out some fsm magic if they want to address this

[torpid crane]

idk i like it more than eternals design choices
eternal was clearly made with pc players in mind
dark ages and 2016 clearly controller

I love the optimal way to play not being possible on the majority of systems my game is on

[remote thunder]

ultimately i don't think any of this really matters, master levels are still going to be hard because it's an fps, not sekiro

[vital rapids]

There is another problem I suppose - sometimes parries for different things come in very quick succession. This would be a parry fail with recovery time, no?
Perhaps for this game they would need another approach.
For instance, a counter that notices if you parry spam and penalises you after a certain amount

[sullen knoll]

those who are old

https://tenor.com/view/cthulhu-hp-lovecraft-lovecraft-lovecraftian-lovecraftian-horror-gif-8066380572562568174

[waxen rivet]

ITS GUY FROM SMITE

[remote thunder]

eternal's MLs are hard despite how good quickswapping is

[vital rapids]

I definitely feel like this game is a bit less hardline controller-centric even though it is clearly a console game too. Mainly because of the importance of strafing.

[torpid crane]

imagine how hard they were when you literally couldn't quick swap

tda feels way more controller centric imo

[sullen knoll]

We certainly are in quite the dark ages right now hopefully we are not doomed

[vital rapids]

2016 always felt weird as a PC FPS

[dark thunder]

Do you think that ahzrak knows the slayer looks like the dark lord

[vital rapids]

Does he really though. Can we be sure

[honest vortex]

2016 doesn't feel too designed for console to me.

It has the most unresponsive weapon wheel of the trilogy by a longshot on console.

[vital rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/old-man-yells-at-cloud-yelling-old-man-news-the-simpsons-gif-17741451

[honest vortex]

Wait. I thought you loved TDA

[sullen knoll]

I do

[vital rapids]

Oh the other stuff. Yeah.

[honest vortex]

I'll say it again but.... Tekken 7 Jimmy Kazama

[honest vortex]

Same

[vital rapids]

Hrm, haven't played a good fighting game in ages. Tekken 7 any good? I liked earlier Tekkens at some point

[honest vortex]

It's a very solid game outside of ugly character models and 2D characters.

Also it lacks content compared to other Tekken games

Despite how broken Jin's parry was. Tekken 7 Jin is one of the sauciest Tekken characters of all time in terms of gameplay.

His design got butchered in Tekken 8 becoming much easier, significantly less depth, much more broken, and a lot of his moveset was replaced with bootleg great value Devil Jin moves.

[solid nacelle]

Y'know I think it would've been awesome if we could kill dazed enemies with the shield throw, slice them in half like fodder. Would be a nice bit of extra depth.

[honest vortex]

Tekken 8 is in a horrible state ATM on the other hand.

Season 2 has been nothing but a complete trainwreck disaster dumpster fire

[waxen rivet]

Just like Mortal Kombat 😔

I really hope The Slayer is added to Mortal Kombat or Injustice.

[sonic skiff]

Mortal kombat would be perfect for doom slayer but seems like netherrealm studios are a bit too stupid to think about it

[waxen rivet]

Imagine a fatality where he calls Serrat to burn the enemy alive.

[sonic skiff]

That would be the animality

Hear me out

[waxen rivet]

Well since Mk 1 is done we don't if the next game will have animality's

[sonic skiff]

What if he uses his hammer to rip the enemy's legs off and then use the crucible to cut the enemy in half

[waxen rivet]

What do you mean hammer?

[sonic skiff]

The sentinel hammer from the ancient gods

[waxen rivet]

Oh

I think you could pull a reference to The Death Battle when he Kills chief

[sonic skiff]

Maybe , it would be peak though

[waxen rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/doomslayer-doomguy-doom-vs-master-chief-gif-16289536229733305280

[sonic skiff]

Yeah it would be PERFECT as a fatality

[waxen rivet]

And if they do friendships next game have Daisy jump on the Slayers shoulder

That be cute

[clear umbra]

Same

[hard thistle]

im almost finished with the game and still have no fucking clue whats happening

like i only have 4 levels left

and its just crazy shit happening for no good reason

like i try to listen to the dialogue and its like that time i tried to watch mission impossible

its fucking impossible to understand whats happening in these missions

[solid lodge]

I cant link my xbox account to get the skin. Anyone else have issues?

[willow beacon]

I think the story isn’t that difficult to understand but it’s a bit wild so I get why it doesn’t make sense

[hard thistle]

idk maybe im just geekd

the story in 2016 and eternal felt easier to understand

like i got why i was doing all the things im doing. this one i dont

[hard thistle]

What are you not understanding?

[solemn matrix]

Hello everyone, I been away any news on Phalanx Skin?

[tough swan]

Would be cool if Microsoft do a killer instinct again both doom slayer and master chief has to be fighters

[honest vortex]

Wait people hated this puzzle?

I loved this:
https://youtu.be/hSzFkN6uAV0?si=aabUXlrH2lG28Vpn

[tough swan]

Is awesome

[honest vortex]

Reminded me of something from some of the best Custom WADs from DOOM II.

Sunlust specifically

[tough swan]

First the puzzle cost me a little then i figure out and was more simple than it seems

You can easily throw the shield and move backwards on the platform

[tough swan]

The infinite loop also was awesome

[hard thistle]

all of it bro

[honest vortex]

Kinda reminds me of Fractured Worlds as well:
https://youtu.be/owfkkgSD_QE?si=lp93kC19fTAr4cDs

[hard thistle]

rn tho? ||why the hell is doomguy a zombie now||

[hard thistle]

He woke up in Hell after dying. He went to Hell. He's a souped up demigod because of the Divinity Machine.

wait but he goes to hell earlier in the game and is just fine

[hard thistle]

...he died. Those other times he just transported to Hell. This time he died because of the Tether exploding and he woke up in Hell because of it.

ohhhhhh

im gonna have to binge midnight videos once i finish this game

its so nice to finally be able to sit down and play it anyways

had the game for a month now and still not finished ughhhhh

The story is relatively straightforward this time around since you didn't have to read the Codex to understand it.

[honest vortex]

Ewwwww didn't mean to pick a video with texture filtering.

My bad

[thin zinc]

i finished my replay of doom 2016. it's still great, but i do find dark ages and eternal a lot more fun

i'll say doom 2016 is a tighter product than the others. extremely well made, but i dunno. feels so toned down after the summer blockbuster michael bay feel of eternal and dark ages

[honest vortex]

I replayed the trilogy the past 1-2 weeks

For me:

TDA> 2016 >>> Eternal

[static thorn]

fr

[ocean fiber]

I really enjoyed TDA

[low locust]

Cosmic realm was interesting but tbh I believe it didn’t belong in DOOM

[cobalt fog]

Jumped in the chat to state I have just discovered even after beating the game, the combat shotgun is absolutely broken

Idk if they did a patch or something but wtf

[stoic forge]

Wait as in it’s good?

Or bad?

[honest vortex]

Opinions. No need to be elitist about it.

As Hugo Martin himself said. Neither game are "factually" better than each other.

They're all very different from each other.

[honest vortex]

Disagree.

As someone who plays a lot of DOOM II Megawads. It's the most DOOM shit you could think of.

Weren't you trying to paint your opinion as "factually" correct?

That's the impression I got

Oh. My bad then.

Just used to Eternal fans doing that to people all the time.

[low locust]

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-star-wars-shaking-head-gif-19912809

[cobalt fog]

Very good

[honest vortex]

I guess it's more like Quake than DOOM?

But WADs do get close to that type of stuff

[uncut needle]

Welcome to Doom TDA.
We got
-Portal 2
-BOTW
-God of war Axe puzzles
-Doom 2016 opening
-Nekravol???
-How to train your dragon
-Captain america

[waxen rivet]

AND PACIFIC RIIIIMMMM

[uncut needle]

i cant lie the non slayer sections were disappointing even tho they were cool

i swear i saw an interview of marty saying they were "fully deep fleshed out features"

[wild rose]

Guys how do I edit the weapon wheel on Eternal?

[merry sapphire]

why portal 2

also why botw

[fathom remnant]

What's with that mini machine gun on the slayers shoulder in dark ages?

[merry sapphire]

whats wrong with it

[fathom remnant]

I'm confused how it exists in game I've yet to play it but I'm I bought it just haven't gotten to play yet

[merry sapphire]

why wouldnt it not exist

[fathom remnant]

Not questioning the devs decisions at all I'm simply asking from gameplay standpoint

[merry sapphire]

whats wrong with it 😭

[fathom remnant]

Nothing

[merry sapphire]

whats confusing about it brochacho

[fathom remnant]

Looks cool

[merry sapphire]

well yeah what about it being cool is confusing

[fathom remnant]

How does it work I guess is what I'm asking

[zinc bay]

How doom treat their new comers in ultra nightmare mode

Doom: Know ur fu#king place, trash.

[merry sapphire]

oh, its an upgrade you get later on. gets activated by parrying

so no input required just parry

[zinc bay]

Does anybody have any tips on the ancestral forge on ultra nightmare to complete it?

[fathom remnant]

Oh okay thanks

[zinc bay]

I just finished the forest one

[merry sapphire]

still didnt beat the game on UN but from what ive been hearing, use the shotgun and the mace fully upgraded and keep your armor up

you can start a 2nd nightmare playthrough to practice a level right before you dive into it on ultranightmare, thats what i did with doom eternal and it helped out a TON

[zinc bay]

The thing is that I don’t really don’t use the shotgun, I use the nail one

[zinc bay]

I will start a nightmare one tomorrow and practice on it, thanks

[merry sapphire]

also memorize spawn locations and make sure you prioritize the very lethal enemies first like the revs

[zinc bay]

I feel like the nail one is more efficient, but I couldn’t agree less that the shotgun is very powerful and shocking towards the enemies

[merry sapphire]

well use it i guess if you want to. its pretty helpful with armor, also since you're gonna play ancestral forge you should be getting your first wraith crystal. upgrading your shotgun after that makes it really strong

[zinc bay]

Alright, I currently on the AF on Un

[merry sapphire]

the nail definitely is more efficient and stronger, but the shotgun gives you a steady supply of armor which allows you to afford more mistakes

[zinc bay]

Trying to get the gold skins

[merry sapphire]

i believe in you, you can do it!!

[zinc bay]

Thank you, I hope u can do it as well one day

[merry sapphire]

im on my way 🙏

right now though im on my 4th nightmare playthrough. ill start one after i finish this one cause i wanna enjoy the game first

UN on eternal made me stress out Bruh that shit was ruthless

[zinc bay]

I did not even go through a nightmare play through, I just directly go to Un

[merry sapphire]

and its even harder in this game cause you only get 1 superweapon in this game and the game doesnt auto save you like eternal. also because its 22 long ass levels

[west bloom]

shivero have you done UN yet

[merry sapphire]

oh wow man thats impressive. modified UN?

[merry sapphire]

yooo wsg water

[west bloom]

what’s up

[merry sapphire]

Nah not yet, im on my 4th nightmare playthrough, still practicing and having fun u kno. ill start my UN after this playthrough

[zinc bay]

Uhh nah

[zinc bay]

I’m just a big fan of doom ever since 2021

[west bloom]

i see
do you the game is better than eternal?

[merry sapphire]

sick man. crazy how you went from UV to UN without trying out nightmare first and not dying and reaching basically half of the game

[zinc bay]

I died like 3 times mostly between Hebeth-Sentinel Barracks

[merry sapphire]

nah i dont the game is better than eternal in my preference. this might change later on though cause eternal really clicked for me when tag1 dropped. game is fucking amazing though the 2nd best game i ever played in my life fr

[merry sapphire]

the first levels usually are the one that get you killed most yeah. cultist base was a nightmare back when i was playing UN on eternal

[west bloom]

i agree i dont think they’ll ever top eternal
although, i have been replaying 2016 recently and i might end up liking that more than TDA i was sleeping on 2016 so hard

yeah cultist base is a pain💔

[merry sapphire]

2016 is a good ass game but MAN eternal and TDA are so much better its insane

[willow beacon]

Has anyone here done a max sliders run? I’m almost done with a run doing max sliders except for damage, those are normal nightmare. How hard is max sliders?

[willow beacon]

Cultist base was my #1 opp

[west bloom]

cultist base was hard but for me doom hunter base was even harder cause i kept letting my guard down

[willow beacon]

Doom Hunter base was easy for me but I died once cause I wasn’t paying attention and a caco beamed me

[twilit pumice]

Fuck Cultist base

[pallid hound]

Yo guys I have a weird thing with light in my doom game, the light almost looks gritty

[willow beacon]

Every time I got to it I would get so scared

[grizzled wyvern]

Hey

[willow beacon]

I died a good 5-7 times on it minimum before I beat un

[grizzled wyvern]

Will there be any master levels soon? I have completed the game on ultra nightmare but i want more challenge

[willow beacon]

Game just came out chill

You can also just up the sliders

[merry sapphire]

doom hunter base deaths got me sometimes but not as much as cultist base. the ssg with meathook really changes shit so much

[twilit pumice]

Gameplay wise I'd have to give it to both Eternal and TDA. 2016 is still very much a enjoyable game. Especially that art style and story.

As an all around experience, definitely TDA. TDA is my favorite nu doom.

Being honest, I never liked Mick's music as much as seemingly everyone else. I do love his opera and ambient tracks in Doom. But the rest of his tracks felt flat and repetitive. I prefer his work on machine games wolfenstein.

[merry sapphire]

and once you get the ballista you basically won UN on eternal

[pallid hound]

All the light in my game looks weird, can anybody help me?

[willow beacon]

Not sure, good luck figuring it out

[tired rock]

I prefer TDA replayability more than Eternal lol

[pallid hound]

I looked it up on reddit and everything and my light looks all weird still and I have no idea how ot fix it

[twilit pumice]

Some people don't like the slow mo. But I got that autism in me

[merry sapphire]

micks music is amazing but it gets tiring to hear people complain about the music in tag and tda just cause its not mick. music is still amazing

[merry sapphire]

send a screenshot cause what does weird mean here

[pallid hound]

dm you shivero

[merry sapphire]

sure

[grizzled wyvern]

Bro there was no extra content besides the main campaign…

[willow beacon]

And the game came out a month ago 😭

There’s a million sliders to make the game harder too go use that

[grizzled wyvern]

So? At least eternal had multiplayer. Is more content at launch too much too ask?

[grizzled wyvern]

Idk man i dont feel like tinkering with those sliders, i tried a couple but it just doesnt feel balanced

[willow beacon]

TDA also has a longer campaign

[willow beacon]

Then use them to make it stupidly hard and get better with that

[twilit pumice]

Yeah, I believe even Mick said he likes the ost of TDA. I'm just not a fan of his fanboys. And I don't think he is either.

Industrial metal is one of the genres I normally listen to. Skinny Puppy, Fear Factory, 3Teeth, Fange, and whatever else.

But it all boils down to personal preference. I certainly don't get it and that's fine. Not every tune signs with our soul.

[grizzled wyvern]

Do you have any recommendations?

[willow beacon]

See if 150% speed is fun, if it’s not do 120, then max every slider other than damage ones

I’m doing max sliders other than damage and it’s super fun for me

[grizzled wyvern]

150% speed 😭😭 cosmic baron is gonna kill me

[willow beacon]

LOL

[grizzled wyvern]

Aight thanks man, i’ll give it a try

[willow beacon]

you just kinda spam parry and pray 🙏

[grizzled wyvern]

Doom guy doesnt pray, the demons pray 🗣️

[twilit pumice]

You mean Battlemode? That seemingly was never talked about, much less played.

Classic Doom only has their campaigns, mods, and Deathmatch. Deathmatch was revolutionary for its time, but now it's just a gimmick. It was surpassed by Quake.
Not many people talk about PvP when you talk about Doom.

[coral tapir]

It's taken a month, but I'm finally on level 22 on ultranightmare in TDA! I give props to anyone modifying it to make it more difficult that the base setting. My hands be cramping 😅

[twilit pumice]

I am psyched to hear TAG's music for the first.
Andrew Hulshult is a pure joy to listen to.
I'm not so familiar with the other artist, but I've listened to one of his songs. And I loved it

[stoic forge]

The only reason I tried Doom at all was because I heard BFG Division in a different context and I happen to like fps games

[idle sleet]

Just finished The Dark Ages. Wowza. So good. Made me come and find this Discord. Possibly my favorite Doom so far! It's close between Eternal and Dark Ages. Vibe in this game is next level

[hard thistle]

Glad you liked it too, Ross! It’s so good!

What’s dope is I actually got my older brother to give the game a shot, and he’s loving it so far!

Now I get to be the one to teach him the game and help him if he needs! How’s that for a role reversal?

[stoic forge]

I wish the end of unskippable actions was clearer. So I can know when to press my next button after, say, firing the SSG

[merry sapphire]

they should wire all the profit this game made to me

[merry sapphire]

the other artist is david levy. preferred his music ALOT more than andrew hulshult. felt like he got the mick style down exactly. his uac atlantica and immora track are genuinely so good its crazy

[dark thunder]

why does the cosmic realm relic look like a maykr

[twilit pumice]

Uac Atlantic is lovely

[tight finch]

I haven't seen any game play of dark ages yet but I will tomorrow

[idle sleet]

It took a little while to get into it. Tried it the first few levels and thought it was ok. I left it for a week or so. Turns out I was misunderstanding the systems.

Once you get rocking with that shield parry rhythm, it’s so much fun. I hear the parry sound all day in my head now lol

So satisfying

[hard thistle]

Facts!

And perhaps that is what most players were feeling when the game first dropped. Once everyone started getting the hang of the systems, they started having fun!

[idle sleet]

Yeah. I’d say that’s it. I was playing it like the other games at first.

The action beats in the story in this game are also next level.

id team really cooking with gas after 3 games.

I'm on chapter 10 and I destroyed the 2 hell cannons but it's not saying I did

Idk man, where else do I ask? It ends in a day

The bit in chapter 22 with the 2 Cosmic Barrons at the same time is doing my head in. Trouble with the parries and melee animations is that you can still be harmed during an animation so while I'm parrying one of them, the other kills me in 1 hit (I'm on Ultra Violence)

[merry sapphire]

he just said he will pay before getting the code

[merry sapphire]

parry both

mace is pretty strong against them

[kind granite]

Hard to if they don't always hit at the exact same time. Like I said, if the other hits you while you're in the middle of a parry animation you can't stop the other one.

I'm hoping to beat both at the same time though because there's an optional challenge for it

[merry sapphire]

the parry animation is like 1 femto second, and the parry window is pretty forgiving. you can do it just time it better

make sure to use the falter window to get your bearings

and prioritize one of them instead of fighting both

2 cosmic barons is basically a single cosmic baron thats on 2x speed

when both are meleeing you atleast

[vital rapids]

This is the kind of situation I was thinking of when people were talking about wanting a more appreciable parry 'cooldown'
You need to be able to do parries in quick succession in this game sometimes vs multiple enemies/projectiles amd still parry others if one gets through... or it will potentially end your run I think

[kind granite]

Those fuckers sure do make good use of that 1 second.

What weapon did you use?
I've been using the mace and Super Shotgun on them. Mace has a long animation though.

Maybe I should try the grenade launcher and keep some distance since I have it fully upgraded to spawn clusters too

[bold merlin]

when azharak screamed in pain and demons walked away did they walk away ignoring his order to help him or he ordered them to run away?

[cosmic karma]

wait when did this happened

[bold merlin]

last chapter

[cosmic karma]

wait sis wasn't him decapitated xd?

he couldn't clearly order to them in that way

[bold merlin]

before doomguy killed him he screamed in pain

[cosmic karma]

well demons was pissed off of him being the prince at the end

[bold merlin]

what

[cosmic karma]

yeah they said "what a fking boring prince we have here" so they did leave him to the Doom Slayer

for his fun enjoyment

very clear

[kind granite]

Finally beat those bastard barrons

[cosmic karma]

barrons?

[kind granite]

I was saying earlier that I was having trouble beating the 2 Cosmic Barrons that attack you at the same time in chapter 22

[cosmic karma]

oh that little shits

[kind granite]

Yeah I kept getting killed because one would hit me while I'm in the middle of an animation parrying the other

[cosmic karma]

me tho he did killed me for the same reason

but now i can oneshot them very ez

[neon gust]

I gave up on these two and just used the BFC to kill them both at the same time for the mission objective

Ideally you could put the shock rune on your shield so you can stun them, giving you a little wiggle room to land some additional SSG buckshot on them

[kind granite]

I wanted to do that but I had no BFC ammo.

I ended up killing one with an execution, then I immediately tried melee killing the other with the Mace and I thought I was gonna lose again because the 2nd one kept hitting me while I was stuck in the mace animation

I need to keep an eye out for some BFC ammo as I still need to do the challenge for killing 25 enemies within 10 seconds

Nvm just got it at the 2nd big area where the protected enemy is

[jaunty canyon]

Hi. Do you think they'll ever add an option to skip the dragon and mech levels? I'm in the mood to start the game again from scratch today, but I just can't see myself going through those levels.

[graceful lion]

they worked pretty hard on them, and the levels have rewards, i dont think they will make them skippable

[jaunty canyon]

Ok, thanks for the reply. I'll play some classic Doom then, that should scratch the itch just as well.

[kind granite]

Man the Burster mastery challenge for the Shredder takes forever

[slim tulip]

Am I the only one who doesnt like flail at all? It feels kinda weaker in comparison to dreadmace and powerfists
And I also like how power fists give you the opportunity to destroy the agaddons and cyberdemons quickly early on

[full barn]

i might be stupid but i have no idea what advantages the other 2 melees have over the dreadmace

i know they have more charges but like apart from that what else

[split gate]

They’re so insufferable like bro, that composer of yours you kiss the feet and worship daily has moved on already, hopefully being treated better too

[full barn]

mick is overrated (im ready to get thrown off a cliff for this statement)

[harsh egret]

ggs bro the redditors are on the way to ur house

idk people just glaze him too much

[split gate]

He is an insanely good artist, the problem are the fans, who are clouded by their own biases to listen to FM’s ost properly. I 100% guaran-fucking-tee the majority of them would’ve loved FM’s music if they listened to FM first before Mick Gordon

[full barn]

hes good but the glaze is insane

[full barn]

dark ages ost is good but people cant help but compare shit

[mossy patrol]

I barely completed the game, there are still so many secret stuff I haven't encounter

[split gate]

Comparison is okay, it’s good, but the reasoning for comparison is garbage imo

[harsh egret]

he is insanely good for sure imo but is it that hard to just be open minded and accept that fm actually did a good ost? lol

[split gate]

Not for Mick fans
