[lunar spire]

Survive off rice and eggs

[harsh egret]

Win win

[frail bloom]

[harsh egret]

Dw i was also susprised by the pay

[frail bloom]

Ye 500

[harsh egret]

And it took me like 8 hrs of work

Let that sink in

[green estuary]

Lucky mf

[silent surge]

voice act an indie game

[harsh egret]

Right place at the right time

[silent surge]

[frail bloom]

[harsh egret]

Didnt get anything remotely close to that pay while freelancing since then

[silent surge]

https://youtu.be/ITqEym_Lhq8?si=g8msNYAUWG3CKMuB

[lunar spire]

You raise a good point. I gotta start doing ads. How did you get that job?

I have the equipment

[silent surge]

it was @digital shore game

[lunar spire]

Sick

[frail bloom]

Alr imma leave the stream so I can do other stuff

[silent surge]

i haven’t dove into voice acting hard. it’s actual acting too

[frail bloom]

Bye

[harsh egret]

Cyu samir

[lunar spire]

I do monster noises so been trying to find that stuff

Bye samir

[harsh egret]

Yeah no it's not for everyone, I applied for a small job thingy within voice acting and I got denied twice and I gave up, wasnt great at it at all

[silent surge]

i’ve read it takes a lot of auditions

[harsh egret]

Probably yeah, especially if you arent known in the scene

[meager vortex]

quakecon 2025 highlights show up

[polar spruce]

💔😭😭

[green estuary]

I am seriously reading comments on youtube rn complaining about how an 85 GB game wasn't completely contained on a blu ray disc

[vital hearth]

doubt that would even be possible

[green estuary]

well yeah obviously
yet people are still mad that their "physical" copy of the game still required you to download it from the internet

like what did they expect 😭

[slate heart]

I finally beat un dark ages. IM GOLD

[lament lotus]

I'm on day one of my Ultra-Nightmare journey. Only got a single death rn

[lunar spire]

LETS GOOO

[lunar spire]

do your best to shoot for no more than 10!! Personal challenge!! you got this!!

[pseudo bone]

Hello everyone!
I wanted to know.
I have a problem with
DOOM THE DARK AGES not using all the video memory on my graphics card.

[pseudo bone]

I just have 10 GB instead of 12 GB

[nova shoal]

i think my game might be glitched or im overlooking something, im at the city ryul level and it says i need to "pass through the gate" and when i do, nothing happens. the objective just remains

ive cleared everything in the area too

Turns out it was a UI bug and I by sheer chance figured out which way to go

[lunar spire]

getting back in the groove after a month away from TDA

i forgot how fun this game is

[green estuary]

bruhhh I'm waiting for it to go on sale

actually losing my mind over how fun it looks

[split gate]

You will join us soon brother

[unkempt dragon]

I ragequit

[lunar spire]

Noooo what got you

[unkempt dragon]

everything lmao

[lunar spire]

:(

[harsh egret]

Who knows, maybe it might go on a lil sale for quakecon but i also kinda doubt it

[green estuary]

one can always hope

[harsh egret]

With all the new content and general updates to the base game i think it might make u buy it either way

[green estuary]

I don’t need it
I don’t need it

[harsh egret]

[green estuary]

I gotta be financially responsible here

[lunar spire]

What arena

[unkempt dragon]

I'll tell u tmrrw in dm bc shame

[lunar spire]

Okay :) no shame is needed, the game can be hard sometimes

It's way harder than it was when I did it on UN

[green estuary]

Gives me hope that TDA will give me the same rage moments as eternal

[lunar spire]

Oh man...

[unkempt dragon]

hope lmao

what is that? I lost it tonight

[lunar spire]

Hope is a word to use for sure

[solar cairn]

Will QC have an online broadcast or only offline?

[unkempt dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-square-pants-he-is-really-a-rectangle-class-hihi-gif-15503377

Me starting up:

https://tenor.com/view/bye-good-bye-goodbye-david-dastmalchian-coffin-gif-17576457089254516435

Me after 10 attempts:

[lunar spire]

You know what enemy has been pissing me OFF lately? The mf mancubus that fire parryable strikes

They act SO weird sometimes

[unkempt dragon]

YES

[green estuary]

Honestly I’d lowk feel disappointed if dark ages didn’t make me rage

[lunar spire]

Oh let me fire my second parryable strike off into the aether where you can't even get to it if you shield bashed

[silent steppe]

same here

[lunar spire]

They have something screwing up in their code for sure

It's especially noticeable in the first few levels

[silent steppe]

i usually play the lasts for have more demons to rip and tear

[lunar spire]

I've been retraining myself for ultra nightmare since the game is significantly harder than before

[silent steppe]

i only wanted some mode like zombies on COD for just kill demons ultiil i die

[green estuary]

I heard they’re gonna buff the late game too

[lunar spire]

They'd better

[silent steppe]

i goona try it in some daus i wnat to try o eternal too but on nightmare is hard

[lunar spire]

I can wipe out a field in under a minute sometimes

It gets kinda boring if you kill everything so fast it can't really react

Needs more enemies

[green estuary]

From what I’ve seen
Dreadmace needs a nerf

[silent steppe]

same sometimes is fast sometimes a little slow

[green estuary]

Same with impaler

[lunar spire]

Impaler is WAY too strong, it's getting a nerf

[green estuary]

Maybe chain shot as well

[solar cairn]

Guys?

[lunar spire]

I can deadass nuke almost any demon in the game except super heavies

[lunar spire]

Didn't answer cuz idk

[green estuary]

I’m sure they’ll stream it

[solar cairn]

Thx

[green estuary]

But don’t ask me for the schedule lol

[lunar spire]

I think dreadmace is fine

[green estuary]

You think so?

[lunar spire]

It's just when paired with impaler it gets really silly

And obviously ground fissure bug

[lunar spire]

Yeah if you apply it at the wrong time on nightmare you get punished very hard for it

[green estuary]

Melee seems to recharge too fast tbh

Maybe it feels different in game

[silent steppe]

i know i died many times because of it

[lunar spire]

Dreadmace charges at an acceptable pace unless you use impaler or ground fissure

It's a really good gtfo of my face stick

[green estuary]

Ah right
Because ground fissure gives you an absurd amount of melee charge

I just see 5 or 6 consecutive strike against a super heavy with the gauntlets and I kinda just go “bruh”

[silent steppe]

but now i prefer the flail

[lunar spire]

Flail is S tier

The survivability with it, and the armor deletion is just amazing

And armor is the only real thing keeping a demon alive in late game

[silent steppe]

i use it with the super shotgun in a cyberdemon and kill it in like 7 seconds

[lunar spire]

Yeah

I think I got it down to 5 with impaler

It's so strong

[silent steppe]

and the Reaver Chainshot?

[lunar spire]

That thing is fine

It's not actually all that much DPS

[solar cairn]

Does he kill with 2 SSG shots faster than 7 seconds?

[silent steppe]

i ussualy use 3 shots on nightmare

[lunar spire]

I usually empowered shield slam, impaler, then parry and melee until dead, and it's really funny how fast it gets if there's a barrel nearby

[unreal terrace]

Bro i just survived an agadon hunter getting me to ZERO hp

[lunar spire]

Rip and tear

[warm ibex]

bro might actually be the slayer

[silent steppe]

agadon hunter and maraunder are 2 demons idk if i hate or love it

[unreal terrace]

i was on ultranightmare too PHEW

[silent steppe]

ultin it's done

[silent steppe]

slayer lore accurate

[lunar spire]

I love the aggadon hunters

[fallow arch]

Agadon hunters I'm pretty sure they try to distance away from you but then when u get close they fight you one on one unlike maruaders that try to get close to you

[lunar spire]

Yeh

Just inverse of marauder

[silent steppe]

hey guys whats yours favorite gun on doom

[fallow arch]

Big fucking gun

[harsh egret]

that one doom weapon

[unreal terrace]

classic shotgun 100%

[silent steppe]

on what doom the original or the new versions?

[fallow arch]

On the old doom games you can use it a bit more so I prefer the original ones

[silent steppe]

gauss cannon specially on Siege mode

[lunar spire]

Aesthetically, doom TDA SSG or the combat shotgun.

Like are you KIDDING ME, an upside down P90 style feeding mechanism????

[silent steppe]

i like the gauus cannom it destroys everything in seconds and i can use more of the bfg

[lunar spire]

Oh I'm talking purely aesthetics

[silent steppe]

oh

[lunar spire]

I also mistyped earlier

[silent steppe]

in aesthetics you are right

[lunar spire]

Also the SSG being a flintlock lever action

God it's so cool it makes me tear up

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-slayer-doom-the-dark-ages-shotgun-lever-action-gif-2020066775983639348

[lunar spire]

G u h

[harsh egret]

makes me realise we didnt see this cutscene in game

[lunar spire]

[silent steppe]

commom how i dont saw this before

[harsh egret]

cuz its not in the game for whatever reason

[silent steppe]

because its first person

[lunar spire]

Ok so I know the SSG is iconic but for my slayer cosplay, I'm making the runic flail

[silent steppe]

but a cutscene with it

[harsh egret]

wut

[silent steppe]

you gonna do a cosplay?

[lunar spire]

Yes

[silent steppe]

i want to do one day too

[lunar spire]

Doom TDA slayer suit too

this is the whole reason I've been bodybuilding for years

[silent steppe]

but everything on Brazil is expensive

[silent steppe]

that's what i call dedication or enter in the character

[lunar spire]

I also really wanna make the flail out of real metal

Like a legit mourning star

Carve the runes out and everything

[silent steppe]

its gonna be very good its hard to do but it will be worth it

[lunar spire]

I have no clue how I'm gonna do it.

Let me preface this with that XD

[silent steppe]

serach anothers cosplay

[lunar spire]

Oh no I'm gonna make the suit out of metal as best I can too

[silent steppe]

and maybe chat gpt or another AI sometimes the solutions are useful

[lunar spire]

I have a ton of work to do but it will be done

[silent steppe]

@lunar spire what level of doom tda i should play now?

[silent steppe]

you can do it remember RPI AND TEAR

[lunar spire]

Have you 100%ed

Kar en tuk, Kar en tuk

[silent steppe]

i have the platinum

[lunar spire]

Sick. I say go back to the level with the first vagary fight

[silent steppe]

what chapter is i play on Portuguese

[lunar spire]

That means rip and tear in argenta.

Uh, I think that's chapter 3?

I forget. I'm too tired to think clearly

[harsh egret]

technically 4th if u count the mech level

[lunar spire]

Ah thanks hato

[silent steppe]

thanks man

the translation of the levels sometimes are very different

[lunar spire]

Also if you do any mech levels, speed it up to 150%

It'll feel right at home

[silent steppe]

i do all the levels in 150%

[lunar spire]

Hell yeah

I'm working my way up to 150 for UN

Eventually I will do max sliders UN

[silent steppe]

i gonna do it on 100% because its the firts un i gonna do im my life

one day i will try on 150%

[lunar spire]

Dawg go start a pandemonium run

Trainnnn

[silent steppe]

already do it

[lunar spire]

Oh

Then you got UN in the bag

Go start it up

[silent steppe]

i just playing the on nightmare again because the last time i played its like 2 months ago

but i will try very soon

[lunar spire]

Oh yeah get back in the flow it's what I'm doing too

[silent steppe]

how many hours do you have?

[lunar spire]

Learning how the AI works again cuz some of them got screwed up like the mancubus

[silent steppe]

i have 40

[lunar spire]

A little over 100

Xbox measures it by days so idk exactly

[silent steppe]

the only problem for me is the agadon

[silent steppe]

say to me

[lunar spire]

Oh bro I got you

Just remind yourself to parry later than you think every time

[silent steppe]

thanks

[lunar spire]

That's the easy way, because he has about a .2 second delay in when you think the attack is gonna land and when it actually lands

[silent steppe]

say to me i will say how many hours are

[silent steppe]

good to know thanks on un every clue is useful

[lunar spire]

Abuse impaler if you wanna clear UN

Stun lock with shield and just obliterate them

[silent steppe]

i ussualy dont use the impaler

[lunar spire]

It's an easy clear

[silent steppe]

i wiil try it on nightmare to see if wprks for me

[lunar spire]

Spam shield throws for the empowered shots, chronospike is doodoo

[silent steppe]

i see

i kill every deomom on seconds

thank you very much

[lunar spire]

Impaler one shots imps and hell knights

It's great for stopping those kinds of pressure demons

[silent steppe]

i do it right now its only one shot how

[harsh egret]

in the next balancing update they will tweak the impaler

[lunar spire]

They need to XD

[harsh egret]

yeap

[lunar spire]

Any shield action buffs next shot

[harsh egret]

its just too good

[silent steppe]

common let me have fun

[lunar spire]

No dude it's oppressive

[harsh egret]

the gun is so good it feels like ur cheesing the game just using it

[lunar spire]

Fr

[silent steppe]

i think its better do un before the next update

[lunar spire]

It feels like every demon is a mini game instead of a threat lol

[lunar spire]

Probably

[harsh egret]

yeah i cant do UN before the next update even if i want to

im back from a vacation right before QC

but im fine with all the act 2/3 changes and weapon balancing and etc

i like the game being harder lol

[silent steppe]

doom was made to play on harder

[lunar spire]

The accelerator may need tuning too honestly

[harsh egret]

i think its in a good place

[lunar spire]

I saw it's actual DPS and that was crazy, on par with ravager

[harsh egret]

hmm

[lunar spire]

If they do anything

I would sacrifice more range for a little damage

[silent steppe]

me too

[harsh egret]

but u gotta stand and fight not sit and snipe

[silent steppe]

i preffer the acelerator but a little morte of damage is better

[lunar spire]

Oh I know, I just don't like getting in a vagary's face

[harsh egret]

hah

[lunar spire]

They don't take kindly to that

Like early on there's nothing to speak of that REALLY kicks a vagary

I just want something that makes that first fight less annoying

[silent steppe]

i bugged the game

[lunar spire]

How so

[silent steppe]

remeber the leve l you said to me play

i kill the boss but after it for sore reason i died

and now the door don't open and the boss is on hole in the wall

[silent steppe]

and reload the checkpoint doesn't work

[lunar spire]

There's some bugs like that yeah

[silent steppe]

at least in not on un

[lunar spire]

Yeah :/ the game felt more put together on initial release which is weird

I ran into maybe 2 bugs in my first 80 hours

[silent steppe]

i found 4 on my 40 hours

[lunar spire]

Jeez

[silent steppe]

but i just remember this bug the othesr is like on the first days

[lunar spire]

Well I gotta sleep now

[silent steppe]

me too

[lunar spire]

Goodnight new friend

[silent steppe]

04:16am

[silent steppe]

good night

[mystic patrol]

After I finish Bloodborne I think I am gonna pour some more hours into TDA

I hope the quakecon update will be big

I need some master levels asap

[hasty stone]

I think they will do something different for master levels

Need some new modes since there's no multiplayer

@mystic patrol it will prolly be big, we haven't had any more content or skins yet at all, I suspect some twitch stuff during quake con

[mystic patrol]

Another horde mode would be amazing

I loved the eternal horde mode, even though the content variety was not that big, but it was a great mode for the times when I was in the mood to play Eternal but I didnt want to go through the campaign again

[solar cairn]

Master levels are a cool thing, you don’t need to replace them

[hasty stone]

No I meant I doubt they will just be basically like eternals they will want to do something new

[solar cairn]

Master levels, horde mode and something else

[solar cairn]

I’ve read on streams how many people ask for an endless mode, but as if without any rating table it’s pointless

[harsh egret]

?

U really need to just wait and see lmao

[solar cairn]

It’s so hard..

[fallow arch]

Im quite late but during it's launch i only found one bug where either the cosmic barons of hell or hellknights jump into get stuck in roofs

[uncut needle]

i cant explain this too well but almost every level end of TDA feels like Nekravol part 1 where it just kinda ends

[vocal widget]

Hollow Knight reference

[marble seal]

I need some endless waves and master levels asap*

[vocal widget]

sounds like being desperate for pain

[marble seal]

I want to slay demons endlessly

[vocal widget]

• Doomguy

[mystic patrol]

!!!!

triggered

[lunar spire]

The removal of slo mo is gonna make it faster than eternal imo

[short mountain]

on 150% gamespeed and max proj speed its already insane

[slate heart]

Hey I recognize that clown

[vocal widget]

Freedom leitmotif starts playing

[slate heart]

Urdak/hell/cosmic realm ect are just dark worlds

[vocal widget]

makes sense

[frail bloom]

Well the game's gonna get much harder in the QC update so best of luck to you

I would be surprised if ppl still think the next game is slow

Some ppl thought it would be a really slow, like snails pace

[minor plinth]

did the impaler get nerfed yet?

[solar cairn]

At a speed of 100, the game is really depressing

[vocal widget]

why

[frail bloom]

Not really

It depends on your skill

[solar cairn]

Well, because everything is very slow and there is no drive

[frail bloom]

No you can chain several comboes and no glory kills makes the game much faster paced. The only thing slowing it down is slo mo

It's slower than eternal but not depressingly slow

Again, depends on your skill and knowledge of metas

[lunar spire]

Have you played it on ultra nightmare?

That'll definitely make you a lot more depressed, especially when you realize baby game is not baby game

[solar cairn]

I passed on 150 and a nightmare

[lunar spire]

(x)

Was that your starting speed? When you first played?

[harsh egret]

this was already known but the internet likes to play dumb for clicks

just look at how slow eternal is in some of the trailers

[harsh egret]

thats subjective, i like 100-110% speed alot more than 150%

i look at 150% gameplay and to me its just full on adhd brainrot gameplay sometimes

[frail bloom]

150% just looks silly in general

[harsh egret]

even 120% for me is pushing it

[frail bloom]

Everything is sped up

[lunar spire]

It's funny as hell but not very fun

[harsh egret]

i played last time on 110% and i liked it alot

[lunar spire]

I'm currently playing on 130 for the challenge of it

Getting ready for pandemonium since I still need the skin for it

[harsh egret]

lower parry window will be interesting to see

since they said they will add that

on more normal speed settings it should add some extra challenge without making the game just faster

[lunar spire]

I always play on lowest

[harsh egret]

same

[lunar spire]

Anything higher feels too forgiving

[harsh egret]

but i cant wait to play on even lower

[solar cairn]

150, tried another 130

[harsh egret]

ahzrak says hello

[lunar spire]

That was your first problem 💀

Why TF didn't you play it normally to get a feel for how the game was curated to feel initially 😭

That's maybe one of the silliest things I've ever heard someone say about the game

[harsh egret]

lol

[frail bloom]

Wait he tried 150 first?

Talk abt rushing

[lunar spire]

That's so goofy bro

[harsh egret]

thats crazy to me

[lunar spire]

"the game is too slow on normal speed"
"What did you start on"
"Not normal speed"
Bruh no shit Sherlock 🤣

Jokes aside, I kinda get it

[wheat sigil]

wherefore?

[solar cairn]

I need 1000 percent..

[lunar spire]

Interesting

Do you have severe ADHD

[harsh egret]

show me the daily usage of tiktok on ur phone

[flint turtle]

What if i never had one? :)

[naive wigeon]

u should instead be asking for bro's hours on eternal

i'm willing to bet eternal fries ur attention span more than tiktok

no shame dude

i have like a giggashit amount of games from retro to today era and sittin there coming home tired from work

its honestly hard to decide what to make time towards

but i absolutely love this game from start to finish it was so damn good

im almost finished with my second run where i do least damage to demons on nightmare small parry window fast projectile is good fun

[harsh egret]

we are in a time where theres lots to play and not enough time for all of it xd

[silver flame]

its always been that way especially for the adult life thats the beauty of being a kid if you get the oppertunitys to game like that

[harsh egret]

yeah im starting to feel exactly that now

[silver flame]

which i did i have many cherishing memories of just sittin on a ps2 and gamecube for hours

[harsh egret]

a couple years ago i could game all day no problem

[silver flame]

when halo 3 came out it was explosively exciting

[harsh egret]

i was 4 when that came out 😭

[silver flame]

it was the most hype experience it was all over the news and everything

like people were just so ready

[shrewd mountain]

@hard thistle I got a tiktok comment stating the doomslayer "absorbed the father's life sphere"

Is that backed by anything in lore??

[hard thistle]

No. Definitely not. He simply crushes it.

[frail bloom]

@hard thistle do you know where it mentions that the baalgar was killed in the third age. I'm asking cuz I got a guy thinking the slayer fought in during the crusades

Not even if the slayer fought it, just when it died and how we know what timeframe

[hard thistle]

Cyberdemon Codex files in 2016.

[shrewd mountain]

@hard thistle last question for today, he also stated "only primevals can harm / kill other primevals" I wanted to know the truth of this claim and to what extent, since we see a lot of things hurt the slayer which are not primevals such as ahzrak causing him to bleed in TDA post divinity, and hes 100% not a primeval, he didnt even have the heart of argent by that point

The slayer was stunned by the sentinel god so that may contribute

[hard thistle]

TAG1's Codex states that only a Primeval or something stronger than a Primeval can kill another Primeval. The Book of Seraphs is unreliable so the validity of this statement is unclear. The Slayer is capable of being killed by random demons, though, and Ahzrak mortally wounds him in TDA.

He also died from a Maykr explosion in TDA as well.

[shrewd mountain]

Idk if this is a headcanon or truth but I firmly believe ultra nightmare to be the "canon" difficulty, if there even is one, argent based attacks can damage the praetor suit and the slayer pretty quickly even if it cant be damaged by UAC tech

So the slayer dying to a charged imp fireball can happen, it just doesnt.

And an imp 100% is not a primeval

[frank turtle]

I love ultra nightmare

[shrewd mountain]

I beat UN on almost every modern doom game

I just finished siege part 1 on TDA

[dreamy kiln]

That is true, but wouldn't the slayer not been in the divinity machine yet?

[shrewd mountain]

I beat 2016, eternal, tag 1 and 2

The slayer in TDA is post divinity

[frank turtle]

I've only beaten tda

[hard thistle]

The Slayer has already gone through the Divinity Machine by the time TDA starts. Otherwise he would not be called Slayer in this game.

[raw drum]

hello chat

[shrewd mountain]

I can point to the flashbacks taking place before the first battle with the demons in taras nabad and the defeat of the dreadnought, and he still had his 1993 armor

And in TDA hes already has sentinel weaponry, a suit, sentinel training

[dreamy kiln]

Then why would he need the sigils to revive in game?

[shrewd mountain]

And power from the divinity machine, pointed by the intro text, lines from many characters including novik,

I forgot the girls name

And the kreed

And hell

[dreamy kiln]

Thira

[hard thistle]

The Sigils are a gameplay mechanic. They are in Eternal as well.

[barren ember]

Chat has anyone got this bug?

Like i had a 100% save file i was playing on ultra-nightmare and decided to take a break in that 100% save

I launched the save and choose the flain and for SOME FUCKING reason the flail didn't have the engulf and the scorch upgrade, EVEN THO I ALREADY BOUGHT THEM i tried everything and nothing helped i ended up deleting the save file because i did everything i fuckin could

[dreamy kiln]

Oh, yeah I haven't played eternal or tda yet, but I do love the lore

[hard thistle]

TDA explicitly tells you the Maykrs have already "blessed" the Slayer during TDA's events. They're actively holding him captive because of his unnatural power.

[barren ember]

The only melle that had every upgrade activated is the dreadmace

And I'm not a big fan of the dreadmace

[shrewd mountain]

Tbh base doom guy is already inhumane

But (dont take my word for this)
In DOOM 3, hell gives you the ability to infinitely sprint without losing stamina

Maybe hell gave the slayer extreme speed and agility even prior to the divinity machine

Small theory, probably not even true, im stretching it pretty far

Gameplay elements are confusing if they are canon or not

We know the slayer drawing health from demons is canon, as stated in some logs the slayer has receptors on his suit that draw argent from their blood to heal and empower him

But ammo???? Im not too sure if demons hold ammo like fortnite piñatas

Life sigil also seem to be tricky

May be canon, may be not

Sentinel crystals make no sense to me, how does it empower his suit

Does he eat them? Grind them and snort em??? Shove it up somewhere?

💔💔💔

[barren ember]

Idfk guys i always get the most nonsense bullshit bugs that disallow me to enjoy the game

[shrewd mountain]

The bonk weapon

I love it simply from power alone

[shrewd mountain]

Ultra nightmare is wack

I mean yeah i like the bonk but i like the flail more

[barren ember]

I'm on chapter 16 rn

Kinda struggling but also i love it

[lunar spire]

UN was fine for me

[barren ember]

I can do anything for the golden skins

[lunar spire]

Pandemonium had the most bugs from my experience

Bad enough that I didn't finish it

[barren ember]

I have to say i play on 120%(this is actually easier for me then 100%)
Lowest parry window and highest projectile speed
Low resources too

I'm using those not because i like the difficulty it's because i played with these settings on my first playthrough and i just got too used to it

But yeah i should say i did lower the damage to myself by 50%

Only on un run i still have 250% damage on myself on my nightmare

[lunar spire]

I mean play it how you want I'm just saying I'm surprised you had a bug on UN

[barren ember]

I didn't have a bug on un

I had a bug on regular nightmare

Which fucked up my entire save

I'm happy me UN run is still fine

[lunar spire]

^

Ah

[barren ember]

My un run is still alive, my regular might died because no reason

[lunar spire]

Gotcha gotcha. My playthroughs have been quite bug free with the exception of a shield upgrade bug and the mancubus hell surges acting really weird

[barren ember]

I didn't really have any bugs on all of my 3 playthrougha

Actually no i had 4 playthroughs and all we're almost bug free

I had like 1 bug where i tried to land with a dragon and the dragon got stuck in a wall

So i could say this is the second bug i ever encountered in this game

And this bug happened because of something??? Idk why and it was fatal to my game

And i hate it

[fathom ivy]

i finished TDA and honestly I was a little let down by it tbh

[lunar spire]

What did you not like about it?

[sudden saddle]

Same. So glad that a lot of people feel the same tbh.

[lunar spire]

Guh

I thought it was peak why did you two not like it?

[fathom ivy]

i enjoyed it

it just sorta didn't live up to my expectations

[lunar spire]

Can you explain? I can understand the sentiment but I like pushing people to give objective feedback

Helps the devs improve

[fathom ivy]

i felt the levels got too big, and the parry system works and is well implemented, but i kinda got tired of it

the music was a real let down for me more than anything, and i mean i barely noticed it lol

[lunar spire]

Interesting. I can understand that about the parry system, I felt similarly about the dash in eternal

The music for me was one of the best parts, but granted I'm a big metalhead so it gets more bonus points on my end

[fathom ivy]

yeah. i think it's still well made game and Hugo still knocked it out of the park, it just wasn't for me. Eternal is my personal favorite

[lunar spire]

Did you start with eternal/2016?

[fathom ivy]

i actually went back to Eternal after beating TDA and beat it on Nightmare. now that was a lot of fun. i honestly prefer the sort of skill based arenas of Eternal

[fathom ivy]

i started with the classic Dooms actually

[green estuary]

as opposed to the non-skill-based arenas of TDA 😆

[lunar spire]

Interesting. What difficulty did you play on?

Hear them out katsu hold up XD

[fathom ivy]

well, i mean in like, 2012, but that was my first exposure

[green estuary]

no I'm hearing them out dw I just thought it was worded funny

[fathom ivy]

i always play classic Doom on UV, i've lost count of how many times i've beaten Doom 1 alone. (i hate TFC tho)

[lunar spire]

I think TDA definitely appeals to a different style of gameplay and it's definitely not for everyone.

[fathom ivy]

Doom 2 is a much weaker experience to me tho

[lunar spire]

I'm a big fan of build crafting and letting my own creativity come out with crafting a build and applying it with my own combat strategies. Eternal was very far from that, same with the classics

[fathom ivy]

i mean to say like, i prefer the weapon juggling and enemy prioritizing, and like having to learn the arenas.

[lunar spire]

Now that I can understand, with HAVING to learn the arenas.

The weapon juggling was actually my biggest gripe with eternal

[fathom ivy]

yeah. i love all the Doom games,(except 3 i can't get into 3). TDA was still great, like if i had to rate it i'd say it's a solid 7.5/8

[subtle wyvern]

Yeah, I myself prefered the combat of doom the dark ages but I understand why some prefer eternal.

[green estuary]

weapon switching lowk gets really tiresome in eternal

and I haven't even played TDA yet

[lunar spire]

Exactly why I adore TDA

[fathom ivy]

Eternal just hits that dopamine for me lol. overcoming a tough arena on nightmare was super satisfying.

i'm glad there's a Doom for everyone though, that's why i love this series

[green estuary]

like switching weapons on the fly when you have a better weapon for the job is fun
but the weapon combos I just don't really jive with tbh

[lunar spire]

I get that. I was training myself for UN but realizing that I just don't have the ability to reach that skill without spending 500+ hours was a huge turn off.

[vocal widget]

plo

[fathom ivy]

actually, i'd say plutonia is my favorite, then Doom 1, then Eternal

Doom 2's maps get really big and not in a good way, and TNT is TNT. xD

[ivory silo]

I'm stuck on Mission 6 on Doom the Dark Ages. I don't know where to go.

[green estuary]

the plutonia experiment should be renamed to the revenant experiment lmao

[fathom ivy]

LOL, yeah

[green estuary]

I think it has almost as many revenants as it does imps over all the levels

[fathom ivy]

but i adore it. it's hard but the maps are well made. Go 2 It might be one of the most fun maps ever

[lunar spire]

I resonate with this a lot. I could totally swap between some weapons to make an arena go more smoothly but it's more about you being a living, breathing tank.

A tank doesn't give a damn what pulls up on it

[fathom ivy]

oh man. Doom TDA knocked it out with the weapons

those were amazing, i love how unique they all are

[vocal widget]

https://tenor.com/view/murder-drones-murder-drones-alice-episode-6-gif-6315455084125287356

[lunar spire]

So I have a question Mikey. Do you think you'd like the parry mechanic with no slo no?

Mo*

[fathom ivy]

i think i'd like it more if the game wasn't built so much around it

but the slow mo coulda been toned down

[lunar spire]

I'm wondering if they'll add sliders for hell surge frequency

But they have confirmed next update will provide slo mo slider from removing or reducing it

[muted zinc]

atumn

[fathom ivy]

when the DLC comes out i think i'll widen the parry window and make the game speed faster but stick to UV

[lunar spire]

Sup

You should totally try nightmare

[fathom ivy]

also unrelated but i honestly think Doom 3 is ass lmao

[lunar spire]

It's a very different experience to UV

[lunar spire]

I get tired of getting lost

[green estuary]

real

[fathom ivy]

the weapons just suck too, and i hate the whole vibe and the focus on darkness

[green estuary]

having a bad shotgun in a doom game should be a criminal offense

[fathom ivy]

Carmack really didn't understand fun lol he just made a glorified id tech 4 tech demo tbh

[fathom ivy]

maybe i'll try it. ill see.

[lunar spire]

I really tried to like it.. I gave it a try very recently and just.. meh

[fathom ivy]

the shotgun SUCKS

point blank range isn't enough to kill an imp lmao

[lunar spire]

I think having to really think about your arenas would make it more enjoyable. I completed ultra nightmare within the first week of release, and I loved how you can adapt to each encounter better than DE, but you can't be brainless about it

[fathom ivy]

yeah. i hope the DLC levels are smaller

i'll still make the game speed at max

[lunar spire]

I liked the bigger levels. It made it feel more like a war. I just want more combat in them if they're gonna be bigger.

[fathom ivy]

yeah i get what they were going for, but it just wasn't what i wanted out of a Doom game tbh

[lunar spire]

That's valid. I'm really glad this was a constructive conversation:)

[fathom ivy]

mhm~

[lunar spire]

not all of them are like this

[fathom ivy]

oof

[lunar spire]

Yeah, but that's how it be on the internet

[fathom ivy]

yeee

[weary current]

genuinely tied for the coolest weapons spot with eternal, stuff like the impaler and cycler is just amazing

[fathom ivy]

mhm

[barren ember]

Good for you I don't care

[vocal widget]

why so agressive

[subtle wyvern]

Omg I love me some nice Maccies

[barren ember]

Because you told me to touch grass BECAUSE I've just beaten a game?

That's very passive aggressive yk

[vocal widget]

well beating the game on ultra nightmare is kinda insane

how many hours you spend on it

[subtle wyvern]

it's all skillz

[barren ember]

Yeah but I've played doom for 15 years and pretty much i really like beating hard games

[vocal widget]

and practice, and also few broken keyboards

[barren ember]

200 hours beaten the game like 4 times un run included

[vocal widget]

so you started from being 3 years?

[subtle wyvern]

skillz comes from practice

[barren ember]

Yes played doom 3

My first doom game was doom 3

[vocal widget]

if you're 18 now

and played doom for 15 years

[barren ember]

Yeah

[silent surge]

nice job!

[vocal widget]

soooo you started playing at 3 years?

[silent surge]

[vocal widget]

https://tenor.com/view/praying-gif-15715313732642844801

[barren ember]

Yes? Many people started playing games like doom even earlier

Like what's your point?

[vocal widget]

after being born

[barren ember]

I don't get the hate

[silent surge]

i haven’t done it yet but haven’t made serious attempts. have done NM 100% w/ 1 life sigil lost. UN mentally isn’t NM tho

[vocal widget]

I'm not hating

[barren ember]

Yeah i know a guy who knew doom for his entire life, he pretty much watched his dad play it since he was barely 3

[silent surge]

what’s your best dark ages achievement

[vocal widget]

just love making those types of chats and screenshot them

[barren ember]

Maybe you're just envious that I'm better in this game then ya or smth?

[silent surge]

that is baiting/trolling basically

[barren ember]

Just sayin.

[barren ember]

Exactly.

[subtle wyvern]

rage baiting innit

[silent surge]

how many attempts / how long was the run @barren ember

[vocal widget]

lore nerd

[barren ember]

[vocal widget]

doom guy? nah we have Destruction man from temu

[barren ember]

I 100% 2 times and then i 100% pandemonium and now I've played it on UN, i didn't 100% ultra-nightmare i didn't find the need to

[barren ember]

Do you perchance even know what I'm talking about

[subtle wyvern]

I cant remember what difficulty pandemonium is, is it above nightmare but below un?

[barren ember]

Pandemonium is basically the extra life mode from doom eternal

[subtle wyvern]

Ohhhhhh

[vocal widget]

I have a question, is there any way to play cup head on phone?

or just pc and console

[barren ember]

[barren ember]

Well then i doubt you can launch it on your pc

You can't play cuphead on yo phone

[vocal widget]

I won't waste money to get the game I already have on console just to experience it on pc...

[barren ember]

Oh no not the cringe series

[vocal widget]

hey:(

murder drones is pretty nice series

[barren ember]

It's okay if you like it, and it is a quality series without a doubt but look i watched through it and you can't deny it's cringe

Cringe ≠ bad

[vocal widget]

I mean some things are cringe

at least it's not hazbin hotel right? everything is not so bad

[barren ember]

For a guy who's old enough to pay taxes i could say i felt quite Spanish embarassment while watching it

[barren ember]

I didn't watch hazbin

I can't say what is it

[vocal widget]

I watched 3 first episodes

it's gay, sexist, racist

and other....interesting views on life

[barren ember]

Again i didn't watch it I can't say what is it

[vocal widget]

don't watch it

[barren ember]

I can't form an opinion without having one

[vocal widget]

I promise it's not cringe it's just bad

only music is kinda good

I would talk to you more sir but I'm pretty tired

[silver flame]

thats some wild viewing for just simply a animation that aint even real

[vocal widget]

thanks for listening

[silver flame]

what is family guy then lol i wanna know

[barren ember]

Real, also you can't dictate what i can watch, or what my opinion will be.

[vocal widget]

https://tenor.com/view/bye-bye-chat-murder-drones-gif-23658284

[barren ember]

Oh i watched family guy. It was like that one time i drank my first beer funny clip here

This is family guy ^

[silver flame]

hazbin is ight its up to you to decide if its a good watch lol i enjoyed the pilot when it came out

the helluva boss is alil more enjoyable i think

[vocal widget]

more gay

and longer

[barren ember]

Again if i will be bored or i will just decide to watch through it i will and will form my opinion

[silver flame]

im all for the happy

[barren ember]

OKAY? AND?

MY GOD OKAY IT'S GAY AND?

[vocal widget]

helluva is better tho

[silver flame]

☠️

[barren ember]

[barren ember]

[vocal widget]

try harder with rage baits

[merry sapphire]

but i really do think its ass

[simple mist]

i mean

[boreal locust]

Is there a DLC coming anytime soon?

[hard thistle]

dlc isn't coming anytime soon. probably next year

[hard thistle]

**well, let me rephrase: dlc isn't coming in quakon update. So i'm guessing it won't come this year

[frank turtle]

when is quake con

[solar drift]

August 7th-10th. 🙂

[subtle wyvern]

Do we know what's coming in the update? I am quite out of the loop

[lunar spire]

You can't touch grass. You killed it all.

[fickle plover]

probably not rage bait bro

[hard thistle]

Couple things are confirmed from Hugo's stream: Slowmo slider, cancel weapon swap with shield block, double tap to instantly swap to a gun's second class. Updating existing levels to have more enemies/be more challenging.

These ones i think confirmed but not 100% sure: Master levels, some type of game mode i.e Horde mode

[marble seal]

I might delete the game at this point

And refund it

[lunar spire]

??? Why

If it's gameplay related I may be able to help :)

[unkempt dragon]

What has been going on in here?^^

[lunar spire]

Some ripping, a little bit of tearing, a little bit of discussion about combat

And some discussion about other stuff I guess?

[marble seal]

If they don't add horde mode/endless mode and master levels

I might delete it.

[green estuary]

bro it's been 2 months

[lunar spire]

Dawg 😭

Like I get being hungry for content but it's OKAY to play other games as a break

You aren't married to the video game dude

Updates are coming

[marble seal]

I'm lol

Literally go on my bio and see the hours on a other game

[lunar spire]

Why would I do that

[marble seal]

Wait nvm it doesn't show

[marble seal]

But I'm playing other games

LOL

[lunar spire]

I don't care that much

I'm just saying you can do other things, content will come

[marble seal]

And I'm doing
Other things

[lunar spire]

Ok then why complain about it

[green estuary]

I mean if you thought the game was crap then by all means delete it

[lunar spire]

↑

[marble seal]

Who said I think it was crap?

[green estuary]

I sure didn't

if is the key word there

[lunar spire]

You said you were gonna refund it. Typically you do that with games you don't/didn't like

[green estuary]

but as I was saying, deleting it because they don't have new content after 2 months makes little sense

[lunar spire]

Refunding it because you don't think ~16 hours on a first run means you shouldn't play any COD game ever released, and refund all of em because the campaign is so short

[marble seal]

But I also don't like it when games are not replayable
If they add other modes that are not replayable then I might delete it

Also I was joking about the refund because I don't know exactly how to refund games on ps lol

[green estuary]

I mean they're obviously gonna add more content
just not necessarily within an unrealistic 2 month from release timeframe

[lunar spire]

Gotcha. The tone made it sound like you thought the game was ass because of no post launch content drop 2 months after release

[marble seal]

Call of Duty is ass
I'm not a type of person that plays ass
And definitely not a type of person that plays the old ones too

[lunar spire]

No worries man, we are on the same page now :)

[marble seal]

Oh I know that they will update later
I'm not saying they have to add updates every day of course but I just don't like games that just barely had replayability once or ever

Am I saying the game is bad without it? Of course not because there are people out here still playing the same levels because yeah the gameplay is addicting
But them levels don't feel replayable
You might only replay them if you are missing secrets and collectibles

But I'm sorry guys for wording it in a wrong way or a unfunny joke way

[unkempt dragon]

Just because the levels don't feel replayable to you doesn't mean they aren't in general.

[marble seal]

Never said that
They aren't replayble to anyone
In a first place
Yeah your right it's mostly not replayable for me
BUT I would say that
Some levels are REPLAYABLE
But not all to me though

[hasty stone]

master levels with save progress PLEASE hugo let us save on the map

instead of having to complete whole thing at once!

[lunar spire]

No

:)

[unkempt dragon]

That's why they're called Master Levels

[lunar spire]

Prove you have mastery of the combat system or get good

Only thing I'll be even remotely elitist about

[green estuary]

bruh

all the lack of save states does is make it so that people who have less time on their hands and/or actually use their computers for non-gaming stuff are less likely to finish it

[unkempt dragon]

They also have a choice to not do it if they don't have time. I don't have that kind of time to grind so...I don't, lol.

[green estuary]

...or they could make master levels like every other level and let you do them in manageable chunks

[unkempt dragon]

Stg nobody is ever satisfied with anything

[lunar spire]

Then do ultra nightmare or pandemonium

You also haven't played the game. One you play it, I think that will be reasonable to say one way or another.

There probably won't be secrets or gold or anything like that, just straight combat

That would make the levels MUCH shorter.

[green estuary]

well the only master levels we have are eternal master levels
so I'm referring to master levels we already have

[green estuary]

yeah far be it to make a reasonable suggestion

[lunar spire]

It's a vastly different experience of game at baseline

Nah LM is right here imo

BRB gotta drive

[unkempt dragon]

It's been five years and people are still bent on it. Sure it may be reasonable, but that's how they chose to make it so what's the point in dwelling?

[green estuary]

I mean
they're likely gonna end up making new master levels
so I wouldn't consider it dwelling if it convinces them to do something different

[unkempt dragon]

I get what you're saying, and I don't enjoy that aspect sometimes either, nor do I have time to do UN runs or ML grinds. So, I don't.

That's all.

[unkempt dragon]

It's probably not going to. Not trying to shit on your idea or thoughts but it's just a high probability.

[green estuary]

I mean the main reason why save states weren't included in master levels was because they wouldn't work with eternal's save file system, right?
not because id made the purposeful decision to remove save states from them because they wanted to

so you never know, maybe they figured something out

[supple oracle]

most likley yes

they will need to built a separated saving system for master levels like horde mode, even so if easy to do still not worth it with master levels in my opinion

[lunar spire]

It's also a high level activity which is an achievement. I don't care if they have one in horde mode I think that would be cool, but in master levels that seems counterintuitive

A master level in doom TDA should NOT take more than 30 minutes to run through BECAUSE it's all combat.

TDAs combat loop is not nearly as attention span intensive as DE so it's reasonable for the levels to be a bit longer too, if you complete it all in one go. I don't like handouts. I've seen enough of it in destiny 2, I do NOT want it in doom. Show you've got the skills or don't do it

When I see new players waltz in with endgame loot it genuinely makes me not want to play at all. If you can't reasonably spend 30 minutes to an hour in an encounter to prove MASTERY of the combat loop, then don't do the master level? You're not at that skill threshold? It's not that complicated

[green estuary]

well 30 minutes is reasonable

if TDA master levels take that long I have no issue with no save states

[lunar spire]

30 minutes to an hour of no deaths, good technique and showing mastery of the combat system

If I full send any level in TDA and even 100% it like siege part 1, there isn't a world where a skilled player will take more than an hour to beat it.

[green estuary]

but when you have things like the world spear ML that just draaag on and on for what seems like forever
then save states start looking really nice
but yeah, if TDA MLs are the length of arc complex, cultist base, and sgn master levels, yeah I can't say I would miss save states

[lunar spire]

Because world spear is a whole dlc level

That level on nightmare takes forever too

[green estuary]

well that and taras nabad, and to a lesser extent mars core
taras nabad just crammed brain-melting encounters behind literally every wall

(literally behind a wall, as it happened with the double archvile room lol)

[lunar spire]

Further spelling why I don't like DE combat system and combat theory

I think ADHD subway surfer split screen gameplay just rots the brain

But that's irrelevant to the situation here so mb

[green estuary]

nah it's fine

eternal is kinda wearing on me too

[lunar spire]

Just play TDA and when you do, you'll understand where I'm coming from

The game leaves you craving more where eternal left me craving a fucking break lol

[green estuary]

when I get my check for all the work I did this summer maybe I'll be able to rationalize buying it at full price lol

[lunar spire]

Just use gamepass fr

I'm buying it once I get my OTA job

[green estuary]

I'm not big on subscriptions
yeah ik I could just cancel it after a month but not really a fan of that

[lunar spire]

It's what I did so I could beat it lmao

Mostly cuz I was broke

[green estuary]

they owe me nearly 600 bucks
mfs need to pay me already

[lunar spire]

Yaaaaa

Save some of that money

[naive wigeon]

i’m curious to know what your opinion is on people being able to adjust sliders on ultra nightmare

[lunar spire]

I think it's fine, especially because I think that the game being accessible to literally everyone is such a massive W that I actually don't care what anyone else says

Personally my only slider change was 110% game speed and 75% damage dealt to demons bc I did it with impaler and it felt too cheesy

Although if someone claims to have done it on official settings and didn't, that can be annoying

[naive wigeon]

but doesn’t being able to change sliders on ultra nightmare to make it easier undermine the achievement of getting it done tho

[green estuary]

if they don't want to show the completion screen then you know they're cheesing

[naive wigeon]

lol

[lunar spire]

It's nuanced but accessibility to all people invalidates my arguments about it imo

[lunar spire]

Oh yeah for sure it does

Let me put you in someone's shoes here tho for a second

[naive wigeon]

i like accessibility and like the idea of having perma death versions of lower difficulty but i think you shouldn’t get the gold skin if you modified it

just my thoughts tho

[lunar spire]

Let's say someone has impaired sensory integration and can't react quickly to visual stimulus, yeah?

[naive wigeon]

tbf someone like that should probably be playing on a lower difficulty then

[lunar spire]

If their ultra nightmare is my ultra violence because of disability

I shouldn't care

And neither should anyone else

But if they aren't transparent about how they did it, then it can be problematic

[naive wigeon]

can’t lie putting the sliders super low and telling ur friends that u beat it with a screenshot of the m* next to ur save has to be peak rage bait

lol

[lunar spire]

Oh it's gotta be hilarious

It's really sad because I beat the game at its easiest so now I'm shaking off the rust to beat it again

Just to prove to myself that I'm not a fraud, but man I'm so bad sometimes now, it feels like I was a different person when playing it 😭

Like the first vagary fight was actually the easiest thing in the game on UN because there weren't pressure demons in the arena

[silent surge]

sure does

i cant stop someone though. up to them

[silent surge]

balancing for mid and late game coming , as well as some QOL changes

[lunar spire]

Oh I know I'm so exciteddd

[raven sonnet]

hi

[naive wigeon]

hi

[solid nacelle]

I kinda hope they don't change the komodo champion fight too much cause that guy's so fun to fight on his own especially with slider shenanigans

[green estuary]

I haven't heard of any upcoming enemy nerfs
all I've heard talked about is buffs to the mid/late game

[solid nacelle]

I don't want them to add too many pressure units I mean

[green estuary]

oh

[split gate]

Facts. Every time someone posts that gold skin saying they did it unmodified, it’s complete cap. Where’s your save bro

[marble seal]

[split gate]

But tbh, it’s not worth being concerned about, the game was made for it

[neon perch]

I can't get enough of how fucking good hell looks in this game.

[lunar spire]

I didn't think to screenshot my settings, this is so sad

Eventually I'll have the time to redo UN, and do it unmodified to get my super duper important clout points

[hybrid fable]

for some reason my game is only showing 6.8 gb of VRAM eben though I have 8

why is this happening?

[tired nimbus]

Is Ultra Nightmare that difficult?

I’ve heard from others that it’s pretty hard

[green estuary]

I mean it's just nightmare difficulty, but if you die you have to restart the whole thing

so yeah it's pretty hard 😆

[green estuary]

probably because other tasks are taking up the remaining vram, other than that idk

my card has 8 gigs of vram and usually my game says I have 7.5 and change

[harsh egret]

exactly what katsu said + keep in mind the qc update will only increase the difficulty

[spark elm]

So I’m missing 67 gold and 1 more secret on Aratum…

not sure where to go for my last secret

[harsh egret]

did u already go to every secret encounter

[spark elm]

probably

all 3 challenges done for the level

[harsh egret]

welp u prob missed the secret below the arena of the upper secret encounter

and u cant go back unless u restart lvl

[spark elm]

I’m at the first Titan landing as shown in an ign video, I see a chest I didn’t claim!

now 12 more gold to get…

found it!

last bit of gold I needed was on the Cyberdemon hell carrier

8+4

[harsh egret]

Nice nice

[spark elm]

Now on Siege Pt1, got more progress

[spark elm]

Narrowed down to 8 gold and a secret

[warm ibex]

good work bro

[hybrid fable]

just did an ultra nightmare run

I made it to siege part 2

then i died i got myself in a really tough spot

[vernal star]

Gyro aim?

[plain sable]

yo

[vocal widget]

possible sbr reference

[vernal star]

Sbr reference?

[vocal widget]

yes sbr reference

[vernal star]

sbr?

What's that?

[vocal widget]

you know what is sbr?

[vernal star]

No

[vocal widget]

https://tenor.com/view/steel-ball-run-steel-ball-run-opening-steel-ball-run-op-opening-op-gif-8428892110070599389

this is sbr

[vernal star]

No I'm not referring to that

Especially since I didn't know of it

[vocal widget]

so what are you referring to?

[vernal star]

I'm referring to the lack of gyro aim on the PS5 version of DOOM TDA

[vocal widget]

oh

[vernal star]

This is the-dark-ages chat after all

[vocal widget]

alright

[vernal star]

Not the sbr chat

[vocal widget]

I know

[vocal widget]

I'd make some nerdy argument for that but you seem nice and I don't want to rage bait or waste your time

[vernal star]

Well TL;DR it's mouse aim for controller

Also been able to do it with the PS4 since 2013

[vernal star]

But no DOOM game has let you do it because uh

[split gate]

STEEL, BALL, RUN, run for your life 🗣️🗣️

[vivid flicker]

When i saw this i thought of the chainshot

[vital rapids]

Oh, that's not good. I don't know how people play on controller without it tbh, I can't. Unless it's classic, it works for that 2d style. Doom 3 is a nightmare without gyro

[vernal star]

Real

It is a nightmare playing with glorified button aiming

(Before anyone goes on about how "it isn't the same" it is I tried it in quake remastered and it's literally the same thing it's just your locked to max stick deflection and up, down, left, right directions)

[tired nimbus]

alright and qc update is speculated to release in August?

[harsh egret]

yes, on the same day of the announcement

on the 7th

[tired nimbus]

kk, thanks!

[mighty meteor]

Hey there people

I'm new to doom fandom

[merry sapphire]

im still kinda pissed how dark ages didnt really reveal anything or expand on anything that much except the wraith's origin

wish we would have seen samur maykr or the wretch

i know at that point of the story he was exiled or something but like they could do a memory or something like that

[mighty meteor]

How the hell u expect that guy to pop up like that is he a Mr beast product he can come anywhere he want

[merry sapphire]

he quite literally made the slayer to who he is now

he's like the entire reason why the story of doom eternal happened and why maykrs betrayed the sentinals

also, its samual hayden brah who DOESNT wanna see him in the newest game

[solar cairn]

Will there be an announcement with the time of the Doom stream in August?

[vivid flicker]

Its not necessary that hes in the game

I think thats why they didnt add him

[harsh egret]

mhm

[merry sapphire]

its not, still kind of dissappointed that he wasn't mentioned even once though. not even in the codex if i remember correctly.

besides, what the hell is going on with the wretch, we still have no idea about that and it was solely mentioned once in doom 2016 and thats it.

[vivid flicker]

Next game??

[merry sapphire]

its been 2.5 games already brah.

[vivid flicker]

Or who knows maybe in a dlc

[harsh egret]

we need like 1-2 more games about what happened before 2016

[merry sapphire]

and not a single mention of the wretch ANYWHERE in all doom games after 2016

not in the codex, story, nothing

[harsh egret]

cuz in tda the wretch isnt relevant

[merry sapphire]

then make him relevant 💔

[harsh egret]

next game

[vivid flicker]

A thing about the codex’s is I CANT FIND THEM and the ones i have found are in the most obvious places am i blind?

[harsh egret]

for now we hunting down the witch and the hell council

[merry sapphire]

i understand that TDA is like set way back, but hugo did quite directly say that TDA will directly lead up to the slayer testaments in 2016

wheres the leadup

[bold mulch]

My L take is I want multiple dlcs that take place at different times

[merry sapphire]

it doesnt really address anything in the slayer testaments or elaborate on them other than the aura farming parts

like theres no Great One or the wretch or anything to even hint towards them

[bold mulch]

First progress the story ofc but I really want to see the fall of taras nbad and see samur give dg his power

[bold mulch]

I think they forgot about the wretch/hj

[merry sapphire]

sounds sick but its not gonna make sense like gameplay wise

[bold mulch]

Yeah it doesn't unfortunately

[merry sapphire]

it would just break immersion cause how the hell would the slayer have the reaver before all the cosmic stuff

vise verca if you want to maintain immersion cause how the hell would i play without the reaver

[bold mulch]

I know making prequel after prequel is unhealthy but I wouldn't mind another game in the argent dnur era

idk I just love the art direction of the sentinels

[merry sapphire]

we are still in argent dnur era though so its all good

[bold mulch]

truuuue I'm so hyped for dlc

[merry sapphire]

Yah, hope we get more cosmic stuff it was sick

[rancid raft]
