[boreal locust]

Ayy someone caught up

Yeah I’m ragebaitin ya

[barren ember]

Oh my Fuckin god I'm so stupid

[grizzled thicket]

And I am going to slepp now

[barren ember]

Bai

[barren ember]

This shit is funny now LMAOOO

[boreal locust]

I never played Doom 3

[barren ember]

cool

[boreal locust]

I did play both Subnauticas tho

And I LOVE them

I really can’t wait for Subnautica 2

[barren ember]

Same same tho i find below zero kinda worse then the first one

[boreal locust]

I personally liked both but first more than bz

[meager vortex]

if doom3 doom guy lost his pet or lover from demons he will rip and tear demons but he just weird

[mental grotto]

Below zero lowkey buns besides the qol and graphical updates

[barren ember]

I have like 200 hours in the first game and like 20 hours on below zero

[boreal locust]

We’ll he didn’t

[boreal locust]

Good stuff

[mental grotto]

Subnautica 1 is great though ofc, cautiously optimistic for subnautica 2 in the midst of all this legal drama going on with Krafton

[boreal locust]

I’m finna have double on the SN2

[mental grotto]

Especially with the co-op, gonna be super fun

[boreal locust]

Have no idea what’s going on about what drama and I still hope the game comes out

[merry sapphire]

thought provoking experience change

[merry sapphire]

both are really good but the first was better for me

[mental grotto]

It basically boils down to drama between the publisher and unknown worlds management. Not something I care enough about to dive too deep into, just hoping it doesn’t affect the quality of the game

[meager vortex]

yeah

[boreal locust]

Same

[silver flame]

doom 3 plays like a survival horror calm down ☠️ but who cares

[boreal locust]

As long as the game comes out in the best shape possible idgaf

[mental grotto]

Real

[floral aspen]

I was playing when a Mancubus had spawned, so I had targeted his arms without any others strategy and i had removed them
Its kinda funny actually

But i was disapponted at first

[merry sapphire]

fym hoping they fired the two lead dev behind subnautica

[hard thistle]

These are not mutually exclusive. Many RE games are both.

[crude verge]

I did not enjoy the dark ages

[lunar spire]

Why? Curious on your opinion

[merry sapphire]

it insists upon itself

[solar cairn]

?

[crude verge]

i think the whole parry thing could have been a good solution to the lower mobility design of da but in reality its just overused and becomes unfun quickly

[crude verge]

good way to put it, its circular logic

[lunar spire]

The amount of times I've seen this argument drives me to madness

[green estuary]

that's not what the phrase means

[hearty edge]

alr i can understand that

[lunar spire]

I could see that, I felt the same way about the dash in eternal

[merry sapphire]

parrying in this game should be as common as parrying in sekiro. its a major part of the loop. personally i found it fun, try ramping up the projectile speed or lowering the parry window to make it more deliberate

[crude verge]

if i put the ragebait in with the legit no one will tell the difference

[green estuary]

[lunar spire]

NO

Stop telling them the strat....

[crude verge]

I didn’t like how unrewarding the timing felt so putting it to least timing was one of the first things I did. The ultra violence proj speed was enough for me though

[merry sapphire]

real talk the only game i know that actually insists upon itself in an annoying ass way is the last of us games

[crude verge]

stop using my strat

[merry sapphire]

did you finish the game?

[crude verge]

see now they’re falling for it

[merry sapphire]

im actually dead serious i Hate that game with all my heart

[floral aspen]

I m a Sekiro player too and it is really satisfying of parrying perfectly an ennemy attack

[green estuary]

are they in the room with us right now

[crude verge]

I hate sunshine and rainbows and cute puppies and lollipops

[floral aspen]

In Doom and also in Sekiro

[merry sapphire]

Last of us is as valuable as a summer ant

[crude verge]

I just saw a lot of people typing so I assumed more people disagreed

[mental grotto]

Neither of whom were working on subnautica 2. Krafton claims that they were supposed to be managing the development of sn2 but weren’t. Not that I fully trust their word, but these situations are never black and white

[merry sapphire]

true true,,,

i still think the game now is gonna suck ass 💔

[green estuary]

I mean I'm sure loads of people enjoyed TDA
but if your gripe with it is a core gameplay mechanic then there's not much to be said other than it's just personal preference

which is perfectly fair

[lunar spire]

I don't trust anyone's word here until the truth comes out, but I tend to believe an indie dev before a giant corpo

[merry sapphire]

We should kill him for that

[mental grotto]

Like I said, I’m cautiously optimistic. What they’ve shown thus far seems very promising, but if it takes the same direction as below zero, especially story wise then 💔💔

[merry sapphire]

the dialogue is really corny

[floral aspen]

What does "ngl" mean ?

[crude verge]

I meant people disagreeing with thinking the last of us is bad

[lunar spire]

Haven't played it, couldn't tell you

[green estuary]

oh lol
last of us isn't very good

[merry sapphire]

Not Gonna Lie

[crude verge]

wait what

[floral aspen]

Thanks sir

[merry sapphire]

no Problem

[merry sapphire]

yeah im not ragebaiting its a #DooDooWater type of game

[green estuary]

I didn't like it

[crude verge]

I would recommend it if the graphics requirements didn’t make me want to neck myself

[green estuary]

I see endless reviews raving about how perfect it is but I just didn't really see it

[merry sapphire]

its Boring and Predictable as hell #NGL

[floral aspen]

Wow i didnt see you changed the message before im really blind

[merry sapphire]

also the director is pretenious as hell

[merry sapphire]

Yeah i Switched it up Im Elaborate and Mysterious like that

[mental grotto]

Absolutely, but iirc one of the devs had actually opted to work on his own side project rather than sn2, and the people on the dev team have been very insistent that the people fired were not working on or overseeing subnautica 2. So do with that information what you will

[lunar spire]

That's what the big corpo says, yes. But the devs are suing, and if that is all true I heavily doubt they have a strong lawsuit on their hands.

[merry sapphire]

his sideproject is an AI movie btw

like a movie made with ai

thats his passion

[lunar spire]

What-

[floral aspen]

What

[lunar spire]

Oh no... Maybe it is all joever

[merry sapphire]

i swear to god im not making this up

[floral aspen]

Bruhh

[lunar spire]

I take it back, never believe in anyone, life is a scam and people are demons

[floral aspen]

Lmao

Vega plz not now

[mental grotto]

That’s not what the big corpo says, that’s what every single subnautica discord moderator and subnautica 2 dev has been echoing since the situation went down

[lunar spire]

That's rather damning but not for the reasons of it being AI

[merry sapphire]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/625082996327841804/1399913180481720320/you-know-charlies-personal-film-project-mentioned-by-v0-bbu3bz8hd5cf1.png?ex=688aba3f&is=688968bf&hm=c452a2af4652c421669847fd1604557cef03e16292359ce438ef8d5f4ef7425b& poster made with AI ts looks so ass 💔

[lunar spire]

Oh dear. Well, I didn't hear it was the devs that were saying it too...

I'm heartbroken

[mental grotto]

Yeah, I have no idea if it’s just damage control or not but if you go into their discord and try talking about it they almost immediately shut it down by saying that the 3 fired had not been working on sn2

[lunar spire]

Oh Jesus.

[floral aspen]

I'll go to bed
Good night guys

[merry sapphire]

Good Night

[lunar spire]

Gn

[solar cairn]

It’s good that Hugo won’t be taken away from us

[lunar spire]

You say that now.. just wait

[hearty edge]

chat flail or power gauntlet

just got the flail

[green estuary]

depends on what you need

[crude verge]

i like to flail about like a fish from time to time

[vivid umbra]

Power gauntlet is good at max level before that use flail

[hearty edge]

yea i got the power gauntlet at max level

what rune

i havent gotten to that part i think

[north spire]

Don’t worry about it

[north spire]

I like the gloves cause you can just keep punching and punching once you fully upgrade it

[vivid umbra]

Each rune is great except for turret

[sterile sage]

Has anyone yet cleared max slider UN 100%?

[crude verge]

Yeah

[sterile sage]

It's not impossible to clear, is it?

[crude verge]

No

[sterile sage]

100% UN

MAX SLIDER

[crude verge]

What about it

[frail bloom]

You did max damage to player, least to demon, 150% speed, fastest projectiles, lowest resources and lowest parry window on UN?

Jeez

Idk that seems ridiculously hard

[green estuary]

no he didn't, he's just saying that it has been done
although I don't think it has been done yet

[uneven flame]

shield throw into mancubas and flail from behind, there’s no other way

[hearty edge]

backshots

[uneven flame]

flailshots

[split gate]

It ain’t hard bro, demons can’t kill you without your consent

[frail bloom]

Oh.

My fault I should've read closer

[cedar dagger]

dark age's on sale

finally time for me to buy it

[split gate]

Theomachy is such a banger, best boss track in the series for me

[split gate]

Experience greatness

[cedar dagger]

👍

[subtle sundial]

Nice

[crude verge]

No

I didn’t

[waxen maple]

Guys I’m close to beating the game on Nightmare.

First playthrough was on Ultra Violence and it was my first fast paced game with a keyboard. Died soooooo much.

Second playthrough on Nightmare and I think I’ve died like ten times during the whole thing so far. Couple of missed parries here and there but honestly I feel like I’m doing really good. Like unless I suck ass at the last three bosses I could probably do Pandemonium pretty easy, right?

[split gate]

If you died that much during Nightmare then you’ll be okay

[uneven flame]

and you did it at 150% speed with smallest parry window i hope?

[waxen maple]

I believe so yes. Whatever Nightmare’s default sliders are.

[uneven flame]

nightmare doesnt default to smallest parry window and 150% speed unfortunately

i dont think any difficulty makes them any smaller, and are options that you have to manually choose

[green estuary]

bro not everyone's just gonna want to crank the speed up immediately

[uneven flame]

bro as soon as i saw that the game had those extra difficulty options i cranked that shit up 😭

[green estuary]

I mean the other options sure
but why on earth would you crank the speed up before you had even played the game normally?

[uneven flame]

i go into every game with the difficulty cranked up to the max

[green estuary]

difficulty yeah
but speed isn't just difficulty
it completely changes how the game plays

[uneven flame]

exactly

for me, what's the point in beating the demons if it doesn't feel like the demons are at full strength

[green estuary]

well with that argument why not crank literally everything up
slayer damage 500%, demon damage 50%, projectile speed max, resource values min

obviously that would be way too difficult

[uneven flame]

exactly

you're getting the idea now

[green estuary]

so you're telling me you beat the game on all max sliders 🤨

and that was a good first playthrough experience

[uneven flame]

it was difficult yes

[green estuary]

color me extremely doubtful

[uneven flame]

that's okay

you can stay colored

it's never felt better to finally kill the bosses as compared to an easier difficulty

[green estuary]

I mean unless you're just proteh or toyota's alt account

[uneven flame]

no idea who they are

[hearty edge]

brotha i'm on uv on my first playtrough and when i defeat the encounters i feel like god

[uneven flame]

especially when you finally get that glory kill

[hearty edge]

ya i dont understand people who think this game is slow or easy

defo harder than 2016

[waxen maple]

Now that I’m doing well with Keyboard I need to retry 2016 and Eternal.

I’m liked actually really hyped about it.

[hearty edge]

yeah replaying both is really fun

but imo i feel 2016 is funner

although i feel the early game is better in eternal as it gives you most things that you need in like the first level

[brave leaf]

So i just realized the room that had me hard stuck on belly of the beast is optional

[hearty edge]

just realized i was doing the hardest encounter on this level as my 2nd one

good to know

[silent surge]

and you can cheese it

[brave leaf]

Belly of the beast completed

[hearty edge]

yk i dont understand people that miss glory kills

executions are like the same thing to me

[brave leaf]

Yo this game is becoming peak

[hearty edge]

brother you are on the nineteenth level and its just getting peak

[silent surge]

endgame is the best combat

[waxen maple]

It’s true. I think most people just miss all the cool animations.

But you’re right they perform the same thing. Glory/execution drops pickups and uses less ammo to finish kill versus just shooting.

[split gate]

Complaints from 2016 talked about how people aren’t a fan of the glory kill animations for the same reason why they were not included in TDA…

[waxen maple]

My first playthrough I did stomach fight on Ultra Violence and was so dented that I didn’t use shield stun the whole time.

I don’t know why I did that but I finally beat it after like 30+ tries.

Second time around did it on Nightmare (using shield stun like a normal person this time) and I didn’t die at all.

[hearty edge]

even then one of the hell knight executions is literally just the death from above glory kill from eternal lol

[waxen maple]

Yeah I don’t know. There’ll always be people on both sides. I think the glory kills were cool but realistically after you see them the first time they take a little to long. Best reason for them after some experience is knowing you’re invincible while performing them.

[unkempt dragon]

agreed

[hearty edge]

yk in doom 2016 i do like to go for them bc they are fun

[waxen maple]

Also true

Plus it’s free health

[hearty edge]

yea

but after the rich get richer rune you basically dont even need that lol

in doom eternal they are more necessary

[waxen maple]

I don’t think I’ve played 2016 campaign since it release.

Crazy. I was in high school back then. Cheers to id software for still making Doom.

[hearty edge]

i dont think they will be stopping anytime soon

[merry jackal]

do you guys think the dark ages is worth 50$?

[hearty edge]

yes

[merry jackal]

;-;

is it better than eternal

[hearty edge]

i meani bought it yesterday and i dont regret it

[hearty edge]

havent played all of it but i like it better

prolly my favorite doom game

[merry jackal]

alr

[merry jackal]

i had to buy the game

[dark thunder]

what's the easiest way to take down a komodo

[merry jackal]

cuz my game pass n all

i switch from xbox

to playstation so im just frustated buying games

[waxen maple]

Personally I like gauntlet and Accelerator. As long as you stay close and get the parries down you can kill him in like 20 seconds.

[merry jackal]

currently its 50$ but originally it was 70$

do u guys think i shld wait for a discount

[dark thunder]

thanks will try

[hearty edge]

actually i wanted to get the free game pass from microsoft rewards as i had all of the points necessary to get it but it just didnt let me redeem it so i just bought it on steam

[waxen maple]

I paid $100 so I am currently replaying a bunch to get my money’s worth lol.

[dark thunder]

ok the accelerator is op lmao i was using ssg for komodo

[hearty edge]

why did you pay 100 dollars

[waxen maple]

You can only kill it that fast if you have upgraded both of those items. You need the shock from gauntlet and burst from Accelerator.

[dark thunder]

yeah i got em both

[hearty edge]

a discount will probably not come until next year so if you want it and can affordit i'd say buy it now

[merry jackal]

r u being fr

[waxen maple]

Pre order special edition that gets me the dlc’s when they come out. Also artbook and ost comes with.

[merry jackal]

but the price is too high 70$?

wont their sales go down

[hearty edge]

idk bout you all but i literally fully upgraded the gauntlet before encountering the komodo

[waxen maple]

Told you bro. That combo is good versus all big guys imo. Less thinking about gun timing and more on parries.

[hearty edge]

didnt you say its currently 50

i would use the opportunity

[waxen maple]

^this

Like the game has been out for 2 months. Won’t get all that much cheaper anytime soon.

[hearty edge]

in my region its base price is 50 dollars lol

[merry jackal]

50$ is too much too

should i wait for black friday

[hearty edge]

not sure if it will get a discount in black friday as it is fairly new

[merry jackal]

oh

[merry jackal]

oh alr

thing is i just bought a ps5

so i have to stop spending more money on games

[waxen maple]

Credit card moment

[merry jackal]

😭

[hearty edge]

you are making me regret buying it yesterday

[merry jackal]

u bought it for 50 or 70

[hearty edge]

50 cuz thats the base price in my country

[merry jackal]

oof

[solar cairn]

The new stream is tomorrow!

QC is coming..

[hasty stone]

Doom games are worth the price, all of them

[onyx tartan]

The game is fantastic! I am currently doing UN with Nightmare sliders. But you know what sucks? Getting a shield bug in the beginning of Kreed fight. 🥴 With no shield had to close the game with 5 hp left... 😆

[solar cairn]

In a week the game will be different

[split gate]

Depends on you tbh

[merry jackal]

alr

i just boguht the dark ages

lets see

[split gate]

Hope you enjoy man! My only best tip for you is to see it with open eyes and don’t compare it to the previous Doom games. See it as its own thing.

[merry jackal]

alr bro

i hadnt played eternal much

im hoping to beat all three one after another

[harsh egret]

at this point i'd recommend waiting for next weeks update

with all the encounter changes and atlan/dragon qol stuff

[merry jackal]

oh uhm

lets see ;-;

[harsh egret]

up to u really

but its gonna be a very big update

both with extra content and campaign tweaks

[merry jackal]

what if i beat it in ultra violence

[merry jackal]

n try the other stuff out in nightmare

[harsh egret]

u can do that if u want

hf brotha

very good game as it is

[merry jackal]

alr

lil dissapointed in the glory kills

[harsh egret]

why's that

[split gate]

That was my first impression too

[merry jackal]

doom eternals glory kills were crazy as hell

but i was told to not compare ;-;

[harsh egret]

it works way better like this in this game

[merry jackal]

oh

[harsh egret]

especially even more so with what content they are gonna release next week

[split gate]

I mean, it’s okay to be disappointed in not seeing glory kills, but there’s a reason why it’s not there and you’ll understand why as you play

[merry jackal]

alr

im waiting for the update ten

[merry jackal]

okay ima beat the game then give my reviews

[harsh egret]

lol wat

[split gate]

Let him cook now

[harsh egret]

u dont have to wait for the update for THAT tho

[merry jackal]

;-; alr

thing is i just switch consoles

[harsh egret]

thats separate from the campaign

[merry jackal]

so i can play doom the dark ages

but my entire progress on my xbox is reset ;-;

so i gotta do allat again ;-;

@split gate @harsh egret were u satisfied w the game

[split gate]

Very, more so, when the combat clicked for me, like when I understood what Eternal’s combat was

[merry jackal]

r the bosses fun to beat

[harsh egret]

Yes, very, and im very hyped to see all the QoL stuff thats coming and the new content

Just need more content, the master levels and horde mode could go crazy

[merry jackal]

r u gonnatry ultra nightmare

[merry jackal]

horde is not there??

[harsh egret]

Yeah ill do that after the update

Ive been gone for the past month or so so havent played

Did 3 playthroughs after the game came out tho

[merry jackal]

oh

thats crazy ;-;

[solar cairn]

No, only if Hugo makes a surprise

[harsh egret]

But yh no, it isn't. They are working on smth, idk if its horde mode exactly or not, but master levels are confirmed coming, and horde mode or whatever it is we will prob know more about with quakecon

[merry jackal]

😭

[merry jackal]

anyways i dont play horde ;-;

[harsh egret]

it'll prob be smth completely different from how it was in eternal

If i were to guess

[merry jackal]

alr

im excited to use the new shield saw

[void ocean]

Enhanced ahzrak fight was amazing

[solar cairn]

And what was wrong with the previous regime?

It’s like you can’t come up with much

[merry jackal]

oo

did the graphics get an improvement

[solar cairn]

I was only pissed off that I had to assemble the guns gradually

[merry jackal]

like a huge noticable imrpvoement

[harsh egret]

It was just not that great imo

[merry jackal]

wdym assemble

[harsh egret]

Somewhat repetitive, kinda boring, idk

Needed more to it

Also the coin platforming was just... Not it.

[merry jackal]

the horde mode or the game

[harsh egret]

Way too arcadey

[harsh egret]

The horde mode

[merry jackal]

oh okay

does dark ages have multiplayer

[harsh egret]

No

[merry jackal]

;-; so the campaign only costs 50$

[harsh egret]

Most people dont care about that

[solar cairn]

Well, at the very beginning you have one gun like and then as a reward for the arena they give more and so on

[harsh egret]

Thats like most singleplayer games, yes

But this game will get content and support for a year+ after its release

50 dollars is cheap lol what country u in

[split gate]

So freaking fun, easily the best bosses out of Eternal and 2016. It’s just pure hands, no gimmicks like Eternal’s

[harsh egret]

Ur describing what a roguelike gamemode would be, and they could make a crazy good one for tda if they wanted to

[split gate]

Which is what it should be, you’re going toe to toe, it should be like a boxing match

[harsh egret]

Guess we'll see what it is

But the way eternal did it, just wasnt it for me

[merry jackal]

oo

[merry jackal]

i just spend like 600$ on a new console

n 50$ on new games ;-;

[merry jackal]

🫡

eternal was too complicated

[split gate]

Tbh, everyone’s going at it tough, it’s not easy

[split gate]

Ahh then you’ll love the bosses here more

[merry jackal]

👍

just gonna spam whatever i like

[void ocean]

is it recency bias or enhanced ahzrak fight > davoth

[harsh egret]

its not even close

[split gate]

I played both again, Enhanced Ahzrak by a mile. Davoth was a disappointment even on my first playthrough. Ahzrak was pure fun, almost like Sekiro

[void ocean]

yeah, if you mess just one dodge you're cooked

died way more times to this fight

beating this on ultra nightmare might be impossible

[harsh egret]

imagine with the lower parry window setting thats coming

[split gate]

Yep, although he’s more easier now in multiple playthroughs, the difficulty spike on the first playthrough was something else, he almost felt like a Souls boss

[void ocean]

true, wasn't expecting it at all

beat kreed on my first try so I was confident

[split gate]

Same Kreed is super fun

[harsh egret]

kreed wasnt really that hard but it was a fun fight for sure

many steps in the right direction with this game in terms of bossfights by id software imo

[merry jackal]

is there icon of sin or no

[harsh egret]

just wish the unique bossfights were more spread out, or just more earlier on

wouldve liked one earlier in the game and one maybe in the mid game

[void ocean]

icon of sin was a cool fight too imo

[harsh egret]

not the vagary and so on

[harsh egret]

no not in dark ages

icon of sin doesnt even exist yet

[void ocean]

my only complaint was the davoth fight, considering he's the creator of hell it was kinda disappointing

all he does is throw some balls at you

[harsh egret]

they were pretty much forced to rush it

[merry jackal]

ohhh

[void ocean]

samur maykr was much better

[harsh egret]

ye that fight was pretty good imo

thats also cuz i liked the spirit

[merry jackal]

how long does this game take to beat

[void ocean]

im around 24 hours in got a chapter left

[harsh egret]

on average i think its about 20 hours for most ppl

[fleet spruce]

20+ hrs if you're looking for secrets and stuff

[merry jackal]

ohh

[void ocean]

but I take time to find all the secrets, if you w key it should be much faster

[onyx tartan]

A side note: Even with the shield, melee options and finishers, this game feels most like D1 & 2 from the modern trilogy. And that is great! I grew up with classics... 2016 and Eternal are both very good games but TDA really goes to the roots of the franchise.

[fleet spruce]

that's exactly what they were going for with this game

[merry jackal]

pretty much same here

[daring bridge]

ngl dark ages soundtrack slaps really hard

[fleet spruce]

All that bullet hell bullshit reminds me of bosses like one from Eviternity 2

[fleet spruce]

Same, my favourite track is Into the Void

[daring bridge]

true its nice

idk why but it reminds me of some band

slipknot maybe or smth like that

[merry jackal]

u guys bought the dark ages or got it from game pas

[fleet spruce]

I preordered premium edition to not to bother with getting DLC later

[fleet spruce]

I hear people compare it to Meshuggah, and after listening to some of their songs I can definitely see that

https://youtu.be/l3LYfT9kFco

[merry jackal]

how the hell

[fleet spruce]

It just works

and yes, I'm running it natively, no streaming

[vague sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/todd-howard-howard-nodding-gif-13246550

[fleet spruce]

Lmao

[harsh egret]

maybe they'll announce tda for the switch 2 tmr

[solar cairn]

Let them announce Doom: TDA 2.0 for PC and consoles

[harsh egret]

i said that cuz theres a nintendo partner showcase tmr

also i hope the 2.0 ur talking about is just a joke xd

cuz the quakecon update is not a 2.0 update

[solar cairn]

He has RT implementation at the engine level, the switch will die

[harsh egret]

nah

[solar cairn]

Well, it’s not Zelda

What is the power of the chip in the switch 2?

2060?

[astral turtle]

hello mates

[frail bloom]

No no no it's bad doom game cuz no glory kills

[harsh egret]

yh im still in shock, im never gonna forgive id software

[frail bloom]

Ye also no Mick so no Doom!!!

[karmic shadow]

i hope so too

[harsh egret]

yeah i cant believe it

[frail bloom]

Hello

[karmic shadow]

the game is on series s and im not an expert or anything just saying what other ppl said but apparently if a game is on series s it wouldnt be hard to port it to switch 2. but that all depends on how the devs do it lmao

would probably be 30fps like cyberpunk but better than nothing

[frail bloom]

That would make sense, Doom eternal is like 30-below on Nintendo 1

[harsh egret]

never doubt id software

[frail bloom]

And like 10 fps on WS master level

[karmic shadow]

doom eternal switch 2 upgrade would also be really nice

[frail bloom]

Yet I beat it on Nightmare with minimal deaths lmao

Ye nightmare is easier on the switch

I feel like you take less damage

Probably to accomodate for the low fps

[karmic shadow]

you have gyro too on switch so aiming with that is easier than just using controller sticks

[frail bloom]

Ye that too

[karmic shadow]

now if the devs really wanted to they could also implement mouse and keyboard support since switch 2 games support that

[frail bloom]

That's sorely needed

Especially in Tda

With no multiplayer so why not??

[karmic shadow]

even if it had multiplayer i think they could, because fortnite for example lets you use the joycon mouse mode

[frail bloom]

Ye they should have it imo

[split gate]

[solar cairn]

I really count the clock

[split gate]

Truly built different

[solar cairn]

I need an update, like water in the desert

[split gate]

Same, we will be experiencing peak and it will be epic

I was like this with Eternal and TDA

[solar cairn]

Hugo presents a patch
I ask in all chats when the fall patch

[fleet spruce]

I never played master levels but except for like 2 places i never seen fps dip below 30. Said places are ARC Complex and Immora, and even then it wasn't that bad.

[split gate]

It’s because of the emphasis on horizontal grounded movement, which was what people were exposed to the most when playing the classics, something that 2016 and Eternal lacked. Not to say they’re bad, not at all

[fleet spruce]

Gyro is so wonky i couldn't aim with it at all so i immediately disabled it, just my 2 cents

[solar cairn]

The original doom is a corridor, not with open spaces?

[fleet spruce]

Doom 2

and countless wads

[split gate]

Yes, but the movement was still horizontal and grounded for TDA

[frail bloom]

10 fps is so bad it starts getting funny

So I can tolerate it

[fleet spruce]

SNES Doom

It never left , just merely suppressed

[frail bloom]

Ye with the resolution and everything

Pixelated

It looks really funny aswell

Everything is a slimeball

[solar cairn]

Fucking marauder

[fleet spruce]

He's easy unless he is spirit/totem buffed

[frail bloom]

He's broken in that blood swamps buff totem area

Sooooo many times where he runs up to my face and shotguns me

https://tenor.com/view/no-jim-carrey-aim-gun-gif-13911323

[fleet spruce]

After i properly learned the combos he stopped feeling like a problem

[frail bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-ultra-instinct-gif-13958783

Said combos:

[fleet spruce]

As for spirit buffed marauders. Thank god i never had to deal with one

[frail bloom]

Those were easier for me since they were in large arenas

But despite having less resistance, the buff totem one just doesn't work at times

[fleet spruce]

I'm still scarred by fighting spirit buffed tyrant lmao, and Samur. Jesus Christ

[solar cairn]

Didn’t buy dlc

[fleet spruce]

They're really fun and are kinda inverse of each other, TAG 1 is gradually becoming ball buster while TAG 2 lets you obliterate everything within several meters around with hammer

[frail bloom]

Don't diss Novik like that

[shrewd mountain]

Comparing a beautiful man, rightful king and fearful warrior to a weakling like trump is sad

trump is stupid, king novik is peak

[tidal spindle]

Doom should not be that epic

[brave leaf]

So I'm at the beginning of harbor souls and maybe I'm stupid but idk where to go

Nvm i just realized

[harsh egret]

u dont know where to go after the first arena?

lol alr

[brave leaf]

Yeah I just now noticed the heated metal

[harsh egret]

yep

[hearty edge]

so the chainshot is this game's gauss canon

lets go

[verbal void]

Guys

I bought TDA

[waxen maple]

TDA is good.

[odd sorrel]

yes

i jus got it a few days ago, it fun

[frank turtle]

tda best

❤️

[waxen maple]

Just beat Kreed Maykyr last night on Nightmare. Only died once on phase 2. Feeling good about my upcoming Pandemonium run.

[neon perch]

Anybody else weirded out by the total lack of popups on the screen when collecting pickups?

[hearty edge]

finally beat siege part 1

i was like 3 hours on that level

died like 10 times in the leader mancubus fight but went to do the other portals and when i came back i beat it easily

[hearty edge]

no its bad

worst game ever trust

[neon perch]

I recall 2016 having little overlay FX when you picked up stuff, like armor, health and such to convey feedback but they're oddly missing from the later games. Same for stuff like weapon fire lighting up envs or the presence of weird fake lights on enemies and weapons.

I don't understand why they forego simple stuff like this, like it's basic design.

[hearty edge]

yeah even when finding secrets its just a little popup to the right

[frail bloom]

Like health and armor?

No they're there

There's a glow and some effects

Am I going crazy

[neon perch]

I feel like ever since 2016 they've paid less and less attention to detail and downplayed certain elements like powerups during combat and even basic tech stuff like weapons lighting up the environment when you fire.

[frail bloom]

Weapon fire light isn't there?

[neon perch]

The latter is weird because isn't the game raytraced? Why didn't you add that?

[frail bloom]

Huh weird

So firing doesn't light up the area?

Weeird

[neon perch]

No and neither did Eternal.

[frail bloom]

Huh in a raytraced game too?

[neon perch]

This doesn't make or break the game mind you but it's little things that kinda compound and build up to the point where you can't even fathom why they got rid of things that should be second nature. Like classic Doom did all this, how do they not notice?

[frail bloom]

Huh now I gotta go in a dark room and see if it lights up

[crude verge]

It’s screen space rt so not REALLY but yeah

It’s more like extremely complicated and expensive postprocessing

[hearty edge]

Are there even power ups in tda

[delicate grotto]

Berserk. That’s it. Lol

[harsh egret]

First time i hear someone complain about that lol

[wary linden]

truly

[solid nacelle]

Powerups in doom have always been kinda gimmicky so I don't really mind them taking a backseat this time around

[wary linden]

noone gives a shit about powerups

[green estuary]

they're kinda cool
but I really didn't miss them much in eternal

they went waaay overboard with them in 2016

you could literally clear entire arenas with one quad damage or berserk powerup and it was pretty broken

[wary linden]

kinda sad that tda dont have the lets play it again element like eternal maybe im the only one

[harsh egret]

come back next week

[wary linden]

?

[green estuary]

god I love when people compare the content situation of a 2 month old game with a 5 year old game

[harsh egret]

i assume u mean the game doesnt have great replayability or

[wary linden]

yup

[harsh egret]

pretty good feeling about the fact that thats gonna change with next update

imo it does have good replayability just not enough content

but i could see stuff like for example the dragon tutorial that i heard might get cut on replays or u can choose to turn it off or smth, idk
there will be lots of stuff like that

[wary linden]

lets see about it

[harsh egret]

trust me, id is cooking

[wary linden]

idk the game feels like easy pure chaos even with max mods

[indigo rampart]

TDA's fun zone isn't fun to me at all
It's a great game for a first playthrough

[sterile birch]

Someone buy me the game

[delicate grotto]

It’s free on gamepass

[delicate grotto]

Took me a couple playthroughs to get a good feel for the combat loop. I honestly really love it, but it definitely isn’t for everyone.

[indigo rampart]

I have been playing it since release and i understand its combat system but as you have mentioned it's definitely not for everyone

[solar cairn]

Replayability is achieved due to different shield runes and melee weapons

[delicate grotto]

The modifiers provide some nice replay value too. Though I think this game could’ve benefitted heavily from a NG+ or Master Level campaign on launch. I would’ve traded a handful of missions and gameplay features for this instead, personally.

[hearty edge]

damn

although for 6 levels i havent really missed them

[delicate grotto]

That being said, the Atlan and dragon sections are still nice pace breakers, providing a fun spectacle the first few times around.

Yeah Berserk in this game is pretty much a combination of nearly every Doom powerup anyways lol

[green estuary]

I guess that's kinda what eternal did also
overdrive was a combination of haste and infinite ammo

[vital rapids]

The first time I played the dragon sections the thing that stumped me was the dodge mechanic. As not much of a console gamer, I hadn't really encountered anything that worked like that in an FPS and it confused the hell out of me

[green estuary]

and now they just combined onslaught with overdrive in TDA

[waxen maple]

Bro, give me Snap in TDA so I can make and endless survival map. I will play that shit for hundreds of hours

[frail bloom]

What if there was an endless horde mode premade

[waxen maple]

I could settle for that.

As long as there’s a couple different maps to play on.

[frail bloom]

We shall see in a week

[waxen maple]

Wait is there really a big update coming soon?

[green estuary]

yes
should be on august 7

[solar cairn]

H U G E

[solid nacelle]

Wonder what Hugo's gonna tease on stream tomorrow

[frail bloom]

"So I just got to disclose this info! Update is next week!!!!"

Me:

[crude verge]

martin stinks

[frail bloom]

Hugo?

No way you said that

[frail bloom]

Hellooooo

[solar cairn]

I understand that only Hugo and Joshua will be at QC?

[frail bloom]

No clue

[frail bloom]

EXPLAIN THYSELF HERETIC

[waxen maple]

How have I missed this?

[pseudo jewel]

Yo

[solar cairn]

The patch was not announced, Hugo just hinted that they are doing a lot of things and it is logical to expect news on QC

[split gate]

Fuckass ragebait, try harder bro

[waxen maple]

I guess I don’t follow id software as much as I thought lol

This is good to know though.

I look forward to whatever the announcement is.

Also wtf is going on with the formatting on my messages? Anyone else see this lol or just me?

[crude verge]

oh sorry I forgot who martin was. was thinking of someone else. martin did the music he’s really really good

[crude verge]

I responded to a similar reply you can just read that one

[split gate]

Oh shit my bad gang, I see a few of rage baiters with similar comments to yours every now and then

[waxen maple]

And peace fell over Argent D’Nur at last.

[frail bloom]

Hugo Martin is the game director. Finishing move inc did the music with help from Hugo Martin who's a really cool guy

The stinky homonculous you're probably thinking of is Marty

Ye what's up

Nope.

chilidog is actually a great channel name ngl

[merry sapphire]

2.5 months and 0 content update is #KindaCrazy

[frail bloom]

Uhhhhh nuh uh 0 months when quakecon hits

[merry sapphire]

hope its actually a big content update and not just 1 (one) master level with a couple of qol features and bug fixes

[frail bloom]

Oooh ye then I'll be kinda pissed

I'm hoping for 2+ master levels, qol features, bug fixes, rebalancing and a horde mode

[merry sapphire]

usually hugo tells us what huge content we are getting like what level is getting a master level on and other stuff but ngl he didnt talk much about anything other than qol features from what ive heard from the streams

genuinely the only things we know coming this update (which is less than a week away) is a slomo slider and just qol features and balancing

[merry sapphire]

yea nah they def gon save horde mode for update 6.66 which is a year away

[frail bloom]

No no no I want it NOW

Think abt it

Hugo said that they're making smt right in line with what we're asking for

And they've had 2.5 months plus some extra weeks

No covid and a larger team

Is this copium?

[merry sapphire]

yeah and thats the only thing he ever said

i genuinely doubt horde mode is dropping in like a week. if thats true hugo could not help himself to hype us up for it

[frail bloom]

If horde mode drops, I laugh at you, and you cry. If it doesn't, we both cry

Capishhhe?

I take it as an agreement

[solid nacelle]

Something like horde mode would probably be too big to drop this early on, unless it's like super scuffed or something

[frail bloom]

Damn

https://tenor.com/view/dog-crying-meme-doggo-crys-megan-soo-crying-dog-gif-5276199764143986284

[hasty stone]

Hugo should spill the beans on the next stream he barely said what's coming rly

[sturdy minnow]

Maybe its best kept a secret

[hasty stone]

I wanna see the new quakecon skin

[sturdy minnow]

The practice of just releasing stuff without any prehype or advertising sadly isn’t done enough today

[hasty stone]

I wonder if they will release more gun skins

[sturdy minnow]

Ooh yeah that

[hasty stone]

He will likely tell us more with the new stream

[sturdy minnow]

Are you going to QC this year

[hasty stone]

Nah I'm in Canada but it would be cool to visit Texas and go someday

Texas heat would prolly kill me

[sturdy minnow]

Meh its not that bad in the late fall/autumn

[frail bloom]

Nah he'll just tell use the slo mo slider is done for the 10th time

[hasty stone]

Lol yeah he did say that about it

There's been a mod for like for awhile lol

I use the campaign level skip mod

[frail bloom]

What put salt in the wound was that he was "given permission" to say it

Like WDYM WE'VE KNOWN ABT IT FOR 3 WEEKS

[hasty stone]

Marty is Hugo's master

They're keeping new stuff really secretive

[frail bloom]

No no from some other people

Some woman idk

Pretty vague idea

[hasty stone]

Yeah maybe he won't say anything new next stream

[frail bloom]

I do hope so tho

Same as you but with quakecon in a week he might keep it as a surprise

Better be a good one I haven't played the game in 2 weeks

[hasty stone]

Yeah it better be something good for more playthrough or something

For single player only they will have to come up with a bunch of shit for it

[merry sapphire]

i agree

it would be the craziest shit ever if they add invasion mode in this game

almost impossible though 💔

[hearty edge]

the agadon champion was easier than the vagary imo

[split gate]

https://tenor.com/view/better-call-saul-chuck-mcgill-chicanery-breakdown-gif-25422432

Ye I doubt we’d get Horde Mode next week tbh

Would love it tho

[waxen maple]

Really? I think most people struggle with it more because of the switch between fast attacks and really s l o w attacks.

[hearty edge]

the mancubi really messed me up in the vagary fight

[waxen maple]

Those used to not exist.

They suck

[hearty edge]

and if you stay close range you can get constant parries whereas with the vagary it felt more like a coin toss

[hearty edge]

yea

[waxen maple]

Vagary isn’t too bad later if you remember to stay out of the acid.

Also the normal version have regular armor that can break which means lots of stagger potential.

[hearty edge]

yeah the normal version isnt too bad

i say as i use a life sigil whilst fighting one right now

finally found the last of these dogs

alright chat first of these upgrade crystal thingies

what weapon should i upgrade

i can upgrade the shotgun

shredder

impaler

accelerator

pulverizer

and chainshot

out of those i feel i use the impaler more but the chainshot seems more useful

[waxen maple]

I like the Accelerator and Impaler the most. Have both done wonders for me on Nightmare.

Impaler insta kills Stalker Imps and regular Hell Knights on headshot.

[hearty edge]

yea the impaler is a beast

[waxen maple]

Accelerator works really well for big enemies like Agadon Hunter, Cyber Demon, and Komodo (all can be killed in like 20-30 seconds with that gun).

I like the chain shot, too. Super good against armor. I like it for the regular and armored Arachnatrons. Kills them in 1-2 shots when fully charged.

[hearty edge]

ow hell nah wdym armored arachnotrons

wait how do i see the mastery challenge

WTF AN AGADON HUNTER ALREADY

oh that wasnt so bad

[waxen maple]

You have to fully upgrade the weapon first, then simply look over to the challenge tab and select the other page.

Should be level challenge page and a mastery challenge page.

[lunar spire]

There's a reason it's getting a nerf. It's that good

[green estuary]

It’s really OP but in a boring way
Used it for one arena and immediately put it down

[waxen maple]

It's getting nerfed?

It can't be that good.

Right?

[harsh egret]

The complaint was smth else it was just bad timing i was writing at the same time as the other guy

Someone talked about weapons not lighting up the environment or smth i was like wut

[harsh egret]

It is that good

It's broken

[lunar spire]

Infinite ammo
Among highest DPS weapons and combos
Insane bullet magnetism
Extremely forgiving aim assist
Gives melee charges on headshot when fully upgraded

[waxen maple]

forgiving aim assist?

[lunar spire]

I can land a headshot I wasn't even trying to hit

[waxen maple]

interesting

[lunar spire]

It's very broken

[waxen maple]

I have never experienced that.

[lunar spire]

I also forgot near miss falter on fodder

Are you using chronospike or the ammo harvest

[waxen maple]

I only use it for Imp Stalker and Hell Knights because insta kill on headshot.

[lunar spire]

That does matter quite a lot

I can kill cyber demons in about 6-8 seconds with the harvest upgrade

Mancubus probably 2-3 seconds

[waxen maple]

I use the Salvage upgrade.

Mancubus has no health

[lunar spire]

Revenant can be near instant killed

Aggadon hunter gets dunked on by it

[waxen maple]

I mean it takes two headshot so yeah, if you don't miss.

on revenant

[lunar spire]

It's extremely safe against cacodemon

Shield saw spam ez win

[waxen maple]

Yeah but you have to aim so high because of the lob

Why not just rocket launcher

[lunar spire]

You have to do that anyway?

It's like

[waxen maple]

yeah

[lunar spire]

.001% effort

I fail to see your argument

[waxen maple]

Bruh I'm not going to argue that aiming above something versus directly at something is easier.

[lunar spire]

Overall, I mean. I'm trying to understand where you're coming from on your stance on the impaler

[harsh egret]

As a pc player i think its easy to get used to that

Maybe its harder if ur on console idk

[lunar spire]

I think the game is harder on console at baseline

Not as snappy and responsive on controller, I've found

Right, well. I'm off to bed then. Gn folks

[harsh egret]

Cya

[merry sapphire]

oh my bad

[north spire]

To me, Dark Ages kinda feels like the Doom equivalent of Sonic Heroes. Its a radically different interpretation of a formula that was already refined in the last game that isn't going to please everyone but still has a ton of merit behind it. The main difference is that in Dark Ages, you aren't dying by clipping through the geometry.

[split gate]

👀

[split gate]

You could also say it’s more like the classic games too

[harsh egret]

i just hope ppl start realising that id software will always make smth different

hugo saying that on stream in like 2021 wasnt gonna reach alot of ppl but i hope from now ppl actually get that

[split gate]

“Nuh uh, where Eternal 2?! 😡😡”

[split gate]

Yeah, they had what they envisioned for the game for a long time

Even during development of TAG i bet, they already knew they couldn’t go higher by improving what Eternal did so they switched up their strategy instead.

Based af, and a middle finger to the state of the gaming industry it is today

They could have went the easy route but they had balls and put out an entirely different game that defied expectations, and still cooked

[harsh egret]

i mean even as a developer, do u really wanna work at a studio long term and make the same thing over and over? ive heard about plenty of devs who sometimes leave studios for this exact reason

[subtle wyvern]

Personally the entire switch in the style of gameplay in tda was one of my favourite parts of the combat

[split gate]

Yep, it’s another combat loop to master, which is all I wanted tbh. The fun I got from Eternal was mastering something new and feeling like a badass. TDA did the same for me

[harsh egret]

some ppl just dont wanna let themselves enjoy smth new and different, even if its great

[split gate]

Over time, I got bored of Eternal, but that’s not due to shoddy game design, it’s just because I’m stuck playing the same thing

[harsh egret]

ye imagine eternal 2 came out now

like what

[split gate]

While I would love Eternal 2, it implies samey gameplay, which I may not enjoy

[subtle wyvern]

Honestly, I think eternal has my least favourite combat of the 3

[harsh egret]

sure i replay eternal often but im not waiting 4 years for the next game to just be the a bigger dlc of the previous game

one of my friends said tda had the best combat and also music compared to the other 2 games

he played all 3 back to back pretty much

now just give me master levels and horde mode and oh man im chillin

[split gate]

Based take, while Eternal is still my top, I have a strong feeling TDA will overtake it, when we see the full potential of its combat

TAG was where Eternal truly shined

When id said that the fun comes from mastery of the game, they became my favourite developers because they’re one of the few I’ve heard who understand what makes playing games fun

[hasty stone]

Eternal is basically doom arcade mode

At least that's how it felt and looked

Dark ages will have more story I could see them doing dark ages part 2

Even after the dlc I can see them making another dark ages game

[harsh egret]

well it is gonna be in this time period

[split gate]

I have no idea how they would change up the gameplay

[subtle wyvern]

That's what I did too

[harsh egret]

ye i thought the same after eternal

but when u look at concepts and stuff for both the slayer and the weapons u realise ahh... they can do some crazy stuff with this in the future if they want

[split gate]

Same lol

[hasty stone]

I just hope they don't do midevil sword bullshit

[harsh egret]

what

a medieval sword makes alot of sense, could be smth for dlc

[split gate]

They always refer back to the classics, they’d make sure they still hit what people love about Doom

[harsh egret]

as a 4th melee

[hasty stone]

🔥

[harsh egret]

i said this before but i think it would be cool for them to make a "intergallactic doom" or smth after i saw the black hole bfg concepts

some high tech sci fi stuff idk

[split gate]

What if they just keep referring to the classics until they make a Doom game equivalent to a literal modern Doom 1

[harsh egret]

i think they can do whatever they want as long as the core aspects of doom are still there

(dont give me open world doom)

[split gate]

Remember when people thought TDA would be open world

People be saying shit fr

[harsh egret]

Me when Hugo says "this level is like a sandbox" and then people go "oh i didnt realise they were going open world with it"

[split gate]

How they came up with that conclusion boggles my mind

“You’re a tank in this game, the game is different from the other two, you’re more heavier.” That clearly means it’s Eternal 2 guys holy shit

[harsh egret]

I can't believe in this game i have to stand and fight instead of meathook and fly

[split gate]

Guys I can’t believe that I have to stay grounded and actually go to toe to toe with the demons instead if staying up in the air and killing them from there like a wuss

[solar cairn]

The stream is already today!!!!

[split gate]

Let’s gooo

Another round of Hugo telling us more of what we already know

[ornate fulcrum]

Hello slayer

[solar cairn]

Rip and Waiting QC Major Doom Update

[ornate fulcrum]

Ok

[ornate fulcrum]

Thank you

[north spire]

tbh, the wording was a little iffy in the marketing

but the levels feel less like open worlds and more like the foundry from Doom 2016 but 3 times bigger

which is great for combat, but can be a bit annoying when you're trying to find that last wraithstone you missed and there's no fast travel Spire of Nerathul >:c

[barren shell]

Tbh siege part one was really fucking boring

All i was doing was 70% walking 25% exploration 4.99% combat and .1% fun

[solar cairn]

On the contrary, there are a lot of battles

[harsh egret]

thats the craziest exaggeration ive ever heard

[barren shell]

I didnt notice i was walking too much

[meager vortex]

2025 august 7th update confirmed

[harsh egret]

thats a u problem then, idk how u can be just walking for 70% of the level

bro is taking his time

i can also sit in the level for 2 hours walking around but what am i doing at that point

[barren shell]

Ok ill update it
40% walking 40% fighting 19% exploration 1% fun

[solar cairn]

Is this a question or a statement?

[harsh egret]

we known that for like 3 weeks at this point

[meager vortex]

horde mode gaming said

[harsh egret]

bro hugo said this 3 weeks ago

[harsh egret]

also all ur insider leaks were false

[meager vortex]

next thursday major big update

[harsh egret]

"insider"

[solar cairn]

When and where?

[meager vortex]

@warm ibex tell them

[harsh egret]

bruh

[fleet spruce]

Siege pt 1 is like one of the first levels where it really shows the return to form they were talking about: the exploration of massive map with combat encounters and secret hunting, really reminds me of Doom 2 wads

[meager vortex]

his youtube channel

[harsh egret]

y'all acting like u didnt know this already

[harsh egret]

yeah its great

[fleet spruce]

Music is also fucking awesome

[meager vortex]

HORDE said A massive DOOM The Dark Ages update is rolling out NEXT THURSDAY!

ask him if he is online

[solar cairn]

The big update is confirmed!

[harsh egret]

??

ive talked about the update for over 2 weeks now

i know lol

[solar cairn]

But now it’s more official than 2 weeks ago

[harsh egret]

not rly

idk whats more official now than back then lmao

we just got more details each week from hugo streams, thats all

he said theres gonna be a big update at quakecon on mayo's stream like 3 weeks ago now

meanwhile he never said theres gonna be a quakecon update on his actual streams xd

[meager vortex]

doom eternal was updated quakecon 2020???

[harsh egret]

[solar cairn]

They will add a master level with serrat!

[meager vortex]

damn!

atelan too?

[solar cairn]

Of course..

[oak temple]

70% walking? Were you walking in circles or something?

[split gate]

Oh is there an example of where it was iffy 👀

[barren shell]

i edited it.

[barren shell]

look

[north spire]

the xbox showcase

[split gate]

The developer direct? I thought that what Hugo said didn’t really imply it was open world, just only levels with big open areas

[solar cairn]

Are you waiting for the patch?

[split gate]

For next week? Yeah

[merry jackal]

how many chapters in dark ages?

[meager vortex]

22

[merry jackal]

and how many in eternal

[meager vortex]

15

[merry jackal]

but the gameplay time is the same ?

[meager vortex]

no not same

dark ages is more fun eternal

[merry jackal]

oh ok

[meager vortex]

how is your pc spec?

can run dark ages?

if you focus eternal pc spec your pc maybe upgrade

rtx gpu need

[harsh egret]

its 13 not 15

[merry jackal]

me is ps5

[meager vortex]

ok

[merry jackal]

does it take the same amount of time as dark ages tho

i love this game holy

[harsh egret]

no

tda is maybe like 30-40% longer

[green estuary]

nah it’s shorter

[merry jackal]

what in the

[green estuary]

Obviously just comparing main campaigns

And also maybe 40-50% of that extra length is dragon/mech sections

[merry jackal]

im going to replay tda

[merry jackal]

oh

thats part of the campaign tho

[green estuary]

But still, significantly longer than eternal even if we’re just talking normal combat

[merry jackal]

alr

[solar cairn]

22, but there are several missions with the atlan and the dragon

[merry jackal]

ty mate

[daring bridge]

If he can run eternal on high graphics he can certainly run tda on low

[raw drum]

i wont be able to play TDA for 30days it seems at the moment

im gonna miss the no slowmo update

[merry jackal]

i like how the shields work

they rip small demons n not the heavy

cuz physics

[unreal terrace]

TING

[green estuary]

why on earth does the flail not one-shot imps

[unreal terrace]

Tough little rats

[lunar spire]

im not upset about it

[fleet spruce]

cause imps are now powerhouses

[lunar spire]

more of their skin to go on my armor

[green estuary]

no not stalkers
the fodder imps

[lunar spire]

OH

[fleet spruce]

ah

[green estuary]

obviously it shouldn't one-shot stalkers

[lunar spire]

yeah they can eat shit i hate them almost as much as i did in 2016

i genuinely target them immediately in any encounter i start if i see them, because i just know i'm gonna get hit from the back by one

[unreal terrace]

their attack that blocks the shield is so annoying

[lunar spire]

yeah

[harsh egret]

its pretty easy to recall the shield whenever u want tho
