#

i mean games generally start up like this and get more optimized as they go

green estuary
#

I mean so do I

frail bloom
#

Idk at most they can remove denuvo

#

That's it

green estuary
#

there are always optimizations that can be made
the game is already quite well-optimized but I'm sure there's always improvements

frail bloom
#

Well idk in what really

#

All I can think of is denuvo and what it usually does to hardware

#

But besides that you can wait until you can afford the specs

#

In a perfect world, they allocate resources and 2 years making a baked light version but that has 0% chance of happening

The difference between Eternal and TDA is clear as day, I went back to Eternal not too long ago. I just don’t see how they’re even similar

brave leaf
#

And I forgot how to control the atlan by the time this level comes around

#

Anyone else run into an issue where the game deletes your save files?

#

Like I just loaded into dark ages and my saves aren’t there???

#

Ok I just restarted the game and my save files are there again… very weird

Had to lock in for Serrat

doom classic can coop i know but doom the dark ages is not

am I crazy for thinking the first room in belly of the beast is the hardest arena in the game? (without the bfc)

#

or is there some obvious strat I'm missing

frail bloom

I do think imo that a third person view for the mech would be muuuuuch better

Like those old godzilla games

#

midnight the goat is here

green estuary
#

I can pretty consistently get through the right side of the arena (battle knight, mancubus, armored arachnotron, two nightmare imps, caco, whiplash) without getting hit more than maybe once
but the enforcer armored manc + revenant combo is just so unbelievably cooked
and then once you beat them you're usually in a semi-vulnerable state
and of course that's exactly when the baron comes to bash your head in

wicked abyss
#

At least they are not calling it a "Mourning Star" like I did

harsh egret
#

the hype for quakecon is starting to set in

frail bloom
#

Is someone gonna upload a re-review since the game is gonna change up a lot

Already 100% Dark Ages both on xbox and steam

everyone needs to try no slow mo when it drops. so we don’t have to use mods or commands

200% speed with mods is an experience. one i wouldn’t do a whole campaign on, but man my fingers were zooming around like a fast paced shoot em up

it was too much to explore

what kind of eternal are you playing kekw

merry jackal

On tda it's wayyy more easier

obsidian shard

On eternal it's much more hardee

eternal has fast travel but the secrets aren’t as straight up on the map probably

anything above 110-120% to me is just silly

I like eternals gameplay tho

Months between master levels

And ppl were just grateful

Ye

#

I'm never sniffing UN in any doom game let's be honest

merry jackal
frail bloom
green estuary
#

people acting like getting 100+ fps on low-end hardware with a new big-name release is somehow a realistic ask

frail bloom
#

Compared to the 8 months it took for sgn

merry jackal
#

What's difference between doom 2016 n eternal

obsidian shard
merry jackal
#

Is eternal more gore

green estuary
obsidian shard
lament lotus
#

The abyssal forest was my biggest hurdle because whiplashes are the worst thing in existence.

merry jackal
harsh egret
#

i also love when ppl say that dark ages is dead cuz its already on sale when eternal also went on 25% sale around 3 months after its release

#

fk the internet sometimes

harsh egret
#

yep

frail bloom
#

That's just ragebait

merry jackal
#

N use chainshoy

obsidian shard
frail bloom
#

No way

green estuary
obsidian shard
harsh egret
#

i checked it was 25% on steamdb

merry jackal
merry jackal
#

But I find 2016 to be more dark

#

but eternal is more gore

#

am I correct

frail bloom
#

Different context for the gore

harsh egret
lament lotus
merry jackal
frail bloom
#

Eternal is more cartoonish with its gore, 2016 is more brutal

merry jackal
harsh egret
#

so technically doom eternal is more dead than dark ages according to morons

#

if we go by that

merry jackal
#

Is it just me

slate heart
#

People who want quick swapping in doom tda missed the whole fucking point of the game

frail bloom
lament lotus
#

TDA has my favorite gameplay, but 2016 will always be my favorite aestetically.

frail bloom
obsidian shard
frail bloom

since it was discounted 25% a month and a half after release and then in june for steam sale it was 50% off xd

Tda is definitely the easiest i suck ass at video games but beat it on un

slate heart

#

lowkey i fear that enemy variety in mech segments might get worse now that they are adding more AI to it

merry jackal
green estuary
merry jackal
#

Eternal is like if u stop moving ur dead in the next 2 seconds whereas in tda u can survive

frail bloom
#

There are only 3 enemy types

slate heart
#

Dark ages looked absolutely amazing its just it didn’t have much variety with its levels

merry jackal
slate heart
#

Eternal is the modern doom game with the most level variety

frail bloom
harsh egret
# frail bloom Wdym by this

with the update they said there will be more ai in mech segments, and the variety of enemies will just get worse if u fight the same ones but instead of 3-4 of them now u fight maybe double the amount

slate heart
merry jackal
lament lotus
#

Eternal is my least favorite because it's so hard to play optimally especially with a hand disability.

frail bloom
placid rampart
#

I think overall eternal is where the newer games peaked, but Dark Ages is still really good

merry jackal
#

Eternal n dark ages r different

lament lotus
#

Dark Ages' slow-mo is such a boon for me

merry jackal
#

Sum might like one or the other

#

but u can't compare them both

frail bloom
slate heart

#

Ye, more just up to personal preference than anything

lament lotus
#

The best Doom game is whichever one is your favorite comfyslayer

frail bloom
#

It is like that even before the update

obsidian shard
#

Eternal had the Set pieces in the background which make the game "look better" in TDA we are in the Set Pieces

harsh egret
#

just wished they got more time to cook on more enemies for the mech

frail bloom
obsidian shard

#

yeah ik but still

frail bloom

merry jackal

#

they said they literally didnt have time to make more

placid rampart
#

Honestly, Doom is one of those rare series where every entry is a banger

placid rampart
#

Even Doom 3, the “worst” game is still a really solid experience

harsh egret
#

doom is just goated really

slate heart
#

Im glad they are rebalancing the mech sections. Mech and dragon sections were fun the first time around but they got boring on repeat playthroughs

merry jackal
#

doom 123 64 built fps 2016 etenal tda carried them

frail bloom
#

At most they can do titan leaders

lament lotus
harsh egret
#

shouldve had some cosmic ones or smth

maybe in dlc

So guys when’s that update coming again? The one where they add a slowmo meter and stuff?

merry jackal
#

Btw guyshow to get dragon n titan skins

wintry nexus
merry jackal
#

I like hunting for skins

green estuary
slate heart
#

Also tda ages felt like it just shoved in lore. 2016 mentioned the maykrs and sentinels and everything in the codex. But with tda it just introduces things out of nowhere. Like if the cosmic realm is so important why is it never even mentioned in a single codex in 2016 or eternal

slate heart
frail bloom
merry jackal
lament lotus
frail bloom
#

They hid the history of the cosmic realm

merry jackal
slate heart
merry jackal
#

Like do we need to do 100 percent

frail bloom
#

And it's also why the old one is just shackled off of nowhere and the sentinels knew exactly where to go

merry jackal
#

Or just beating the game is enough

merry jackal
wintry nexus
#

It’s kinda interesting how we don’t see the Normal cacodemons and baron of hell in tda

green estuary

counts as an execution

Even if id makes more doom games they probably will still be good. Rage is the only id game ive ever disliked

frail bloom
#

Imagine shield and meathook

#

Whole new game right there

wintry nexus
slate heart
#

Im glad tda wasnt just doom eternal 2. But did it need to have nailguns medieval themes and lovecraftian shit

slate heart
frail bloom
#

And quake isn't happening, so they're assimilating quake stuff

#

Makes sense to me

green estuary
#

the best gun in the game is literally a nail gun

slate heart
#

To be fair doom is more recognizable than quake. Whatever gets Bethesda the most money

slate heart
frail bloom
green estuary
#

it's great
but impaler is another level of busted
and either way, my point stands about there being a nail gun

wintry nexus
#

The impaler is so fucking good

meager vortex
#

impaler can make a nut cracked shot

wintry nexus
#

I love combo-ing it with the shotguns

green estuary
lament lotus
green estuary
#

shield bash into ssg is just so cracked

wintry nexus
lament lotus
#

I personally like to use the SSG with power gauntlet and just go full fisticuffs mode on superheavies

green estuary
#

honestly my favorite part of the game is that you can still duel a cyberdemon with the rocket launcher, just like the OG games

meager vortex
#

shield bash+mace combo

lament lotus
#

I feel like both plasma weapons are very underrated. Cycler is fantastic crowd control and fully upgraded Accelerator staggers bosses every 30 seconds

green estuary
#

accelerator is basically the best weapon for superheavies
except for the rocket launcher for the cyberdemon since it takes bonus damage from it, and the chainshot to remove the vagary's armor

#

it just has such high DPS

lament lotus
#

It's not even a DPS thing, it just has an obscenely high rate of fire that you just riddle them with holes

fleet spruce
lunar spire
#

yes it did. it made it unique and carved out its own niche

lament lotus
#

What TDA needs more of is more corpse desecration. Like how you can see all the spikes in a demon when using the Shredder and Impaler

lunar spire
#

I'm curious as to what you would add then

#

you can't really model buckshot in a target

lament lotus
#

A bunch of smaller bulletholes, perhaps?

green estuary
#

well there's plenty of gore wounds

#

and also the burning effect is sick

lunar spire
#

Idk i feel like its an engine limitation

lament lotus
#

Blue burns from plasma weapons would be a fun step in that direction, at least

lunar spire
#

yeah it would be, I just dunno how they would do it. it seemed like most of the demon destruction was ripping off predetermined chunks of flesh based on how much damage was applied there

#

so to me that leads me to believe that is a big time engine limitation on what can and can't be done

lament lotus
#

I mean every enemy model has functioning skeletons underneath. Adding a decal of black dots to a model doesn't seem like too much of a stretch.

#

Just like how we all have functioning skeletons inside us

lunar spire
#

do they? I thought it was just modeling

lament lotus
#

Reject humanity. Become revedoot

lunar spire
#

your skeleton wants out

#

it wants to be free from its flesh prison

What’s yall fav game speed

110%

wintry nexus

i think ill stick with 110% also if i turn off slowmo

no slowmo or lower slowmo will make 120%+ feel silly asf to me

harsh egret
#

forest swan
#

Just bought it. Without spoiling, what should I expect?

wintry nexus

frail bloom
#

Ye I would wait two days

wintry nexus
harsh egret
#

wintry nexus
#

But yea

#

2 days wait

frail bloom
#

Big update that will offer lots of balance changes

#

So might as well wait

green estuary
harsh egret
#

and alot of content

forest swan
#

Well my PC isnt set up either way

#

So I can't say it rn

frail bloom
#

Oh well there you go

harsh egret

forest swan
frail bloom

Then you're all set

wintry nexus
#

Ima play dark ages on my laptop

#

Surely it won’t sound like a jet engine

forest swan
#

Anything I should know? I love classic doom if that'll help you guys tell me how much I'll love it. I havent watched any gameplay or trailers btw

harsh egret
wintry nexus
frail bloom
#

Whereas 2016 and eternal built off quake and a bit of doom

forest swan
#

OOOH.
So what you're saying is less acrobatics, but the same brutality as 2016 and eternal?

green estuary
#

pretty much

frail bloom
#

Have fun

harsh egret
#

kinda goated game really

forest swan
#

I loved the steam sale

wintry nexus
harsh egret
#

hella goated game

forest swan
#

Also since its the dark ages is it mideval? If it is, I'm gonna doomjaculate

green estuary
harsh egret
#

its like a medieval sci fi

green estuary
harsh egret
#

lmfao

wintry nexus
#

I love it

forest swan
#

Doom: The Eight Pages?

#

I did hear you get to box the Icon of sin or smth

cursive grotto
#

I finished the game like near the end of june, about to replay it now, did i miss any important balance changes or updates

forest swan
#

(I still havent finished ETERNAL TAG1 or 2)

green estuary
#

death protection is much less forgiving

harsh egret
#

after the update

forest swan
cursive grotto
#

You already had no immunity window after reaching 5 hp like you do in eternal

#

How could they have made it worse

green estuary
#

although the imp melee lunge and pinky bites ignore it

sleek ermine
#

I’ll be honest, to me it’s impressive NOT 100%ing every level I play kekw

cursive grotto
#

Is it just me or did this game feel much better to explore and actually find secrets for than the other 2

#

2016 and eternal

green estuary
#

I liked the exploration much more

cursive grotto
#

I found myself exploring and finding stuff way more often here

forest swan
#

Wait I saw a cutscene in TAG2 and bro pulled a marauder

sleek ermine
#

Exploration? No thanks I’ll use the map

cursive grotto
#

I honestly just keep running around for a while before following the marker

forest swan
cursive grotto
#

Like a hyperactive child

#

I see interesting or suspicious spot, i walk to interesting or suspicious spot

frail bloom
#

I do think that the toys and skins and codexes should have been hidden

cursive grotto
#

ALSO

sleek ermine
#

I usually play for like 2 hours every day and like 90% of that time today was Siege part 1kekw

cursive grotto
#

Which doomguy toy animation do you guys prefer

green estuary
cursive grotto
#

2016, eternal or dark ages

frail bloom
# forest swan Nah

Well it's cuz they offer no real gameplay changes besides being smt cool for exploring

green estuary
frail bloom
cursive grotto
#

Eternal's is so funny he shakes the action figure so aggresively

harsh egret
forest swan
frail bloom
#

In gold, rubies and wraithstones

forest swan
frail bloom
frail bloom
#

Fist bump was so cool

forest swan
#

I have seen like ONE spoiler and YIU HAVE A PET DRAGON?????

cursive grotto
frail bloom
forest swan
cursive grotto
#

Oh yeah

frail bloom
cursive grotto
#

What do you guys think about dark ages showing doomguy's face often

frail bloom
#

Awesome

#

It's easier to characterize him a lot more

harsh egret
#

need helmetless slayer skin

frail bloom
#

Plus he looks much better than eternal's face

forest swan
#

I havent seen it yet but I hope tag1 and tag2 are peak

frail bloom
#

I reccommend you avoid this chat

green estuary
cursive grotto
#

But like you're in the dark ages chat idk what you expect

frail bloom
#

Cuz it's gonna get real spoiler heavy

cursive grotto
#

Lol

forest swan
#

Eh

#

Also got spoiled on the scene where doomguy makes a giant demon eat his ball

frail bloom
#

They had a spoiler chat but they REMOOOOOOVED IT

#

Sad

cursive grotto
#

Why

frail bloom
#

They removed it 2 weeks after release

cursive grotto
#

Actually

frail bloom
#

Idk they could've at least archived it

cursive grotto
#

Now that i think about it

#

I have no idea what i'd consider the ''most people have already played this by now'' window

#

Weeks? Months?

frail bloom
#

I'm guessing a couple months

harsh egret
#

i mean if u havent played and dont want spoilers then surely u would just not chat

cursive grotto
#

That's what i usually do

harsh egret
#

but a month or 2 seems reasonable

forest swan
#

Makes sense

cursive grotto
#

But it's hard to do in communities where there aren't game specific channels

#

Like this server does

#

When it's all just one big fat blob of everything, you will get spoiled at some point

#

Happened to me with the yakuza franchise

#

I was trying so hard to avoid infinite wealth spoilers while still being in the community and inevitably DID get spoiled

forest swan
#

Im poor

cursive grotto
#

Because someone didn't put a spoiler tag on their post

harsh egret
#

i got spoiled even like 2-3 days before launch about smth

cursive grotto
#

How do you get spoiled BEFORE launch

harsh egret
#

leaks

cursive grotto
#

Were you also avoiding the trailers and teasers

harsh egret
#

no

frail bloom
#

Wait Mick just uploaded a new vid

cursive grotto
frail bloom
#

Silly guy

harsh egret
#

there were plenty of leaks

cursive grotto
#

Ngl i wasn't even in the doom community until recently

harsh egret
#

especially cuz ppl got to play the game early with digital copies

cursive grotto
#

Dark ages and me getting back into eternal brought me here

harsh egret
#

on ps5

green estuary
verbal void
#

This game has the easiest U.N

cursive grotto
#

Did they mention anything about the patch coming on thursday

harsh egret
#

its pretty much confirmed yes

cursive grotto
#

Please don't nerf my sweet ravager and chainshot

#

Let me keep abusing them

verbal void
green estuary
#

ravager was already nerfed against specific superheavies/bosses

harsh egret
#

they are doing balance changes to ssg and impaler from what we know

cursive grotto
#

Aw man

green estuary
#

chainshot doesn't feel thaat busted beyond ammo count

verbal void
#

CHAINSHOT 🔛🔝

cursive grotto
#

Especially barons and cyberdemons

#

Parry > max charge shot > repeat

verbal void
#

MAN FRICK THE CYBERDEMONS

green estuary
verbal void
#

Which ones better cycler or accelerator

green estuary
#

accelerator has higher raw dps

cursive grotto
#

It just feels satisfying to get the charged shot instantly from a parry

green estuary
#

cycler has better crowd control

sleek ermine
#

Free parries dealguy

cursive grotto
#

I forgot which one was which can you guys remind me

#

Which one was the super fast firing one

#

And which one inflicted shock

sleek ermine
harsh egret
#

the cycler has shock

verbal void
#

Accelerator - plasma rifle
Cycler - 2 barreled plasma rifle(it causes the shock)

cursive grotto
cursive grotto
#

I melee'd every single one on my first playthrough

frail bloom
cursive grotto
sleek ermine
cursive grotto
#

Cycler is the one i prefer using

verbal void
#

I love spamming dreadmace SSG chainshot and cycler

cursive grotto
#

Idk why it just feels more powerful

#

Even though accelerator has more dps

sleek ermine
#

Chat

verbal void
#

Guys what 5 weapons should i do for the final boss

cursive grotto
#

One thing i love about this game is being able to press the same hotkey twice to get the alternative version of the weapon instead of having to use a different key

#

Like i can just press 3 for both accelerator and cycler

#

It's awesome

frail bloom
#

Imma get that for console soon

#

Instead of the square I press double tap

sleek ermine
#

Should I force myself to not 100% Ancestral Forge (and all the other future levels) so I CAN FINALLY ENJOY DOOMING

verbal void
green estuary
cursive grotto
#

I personally wouldn't restrict myself from 100%ing levels

#

Buut you do you

verbal void
#

Guys rate my five main guns
Combat shotgun
Super Shotgun
Impaler
Cycler
Rocket Launcher

cursive grotto
#

Also

sleek ermine
#

I can barely remember how any of the environments look

cursive grotto
#

Idk if it was just me

#

But || ahzrak || was so much worse as a final boss than the icon

#

He didn't feel satisfying or fun to fight

#

Other than the final cutscene

cursive grotto
verbal void
#

Ahzraks death is so satisfying(im still on ch 16)

harsh egret
cursive grotto
verbal void
#

Name a character that solos doom slayer(comic characters not allowed)

cursive grotto
#

The icon was this big world ending monster and then you fight this guy who's just your size basically

harsh egret
#

the icon of sin is kinda awkward to fight imo

cursive grotto
#

I find it really fun to just wale on the icon with quick swaps

#

Pb rocket ballista and then a bfg shot

#

Never gets boring for me

verbal void
#

The crucible was useless in my run

cursive grotto
#

With like 20 crucible charges around the arena

#

Then i dropped it

verbal void
cursive grotto
#

I don't even use the bfg or crucible anymore outside of extremely rare scenarios

#

Like the final encounter of super gore nest master level with THREE archviles

#

I'm sorry but i'm crucibling those guys

verbal void
#

Do you guys think Icon will return

cursive grotto
#

Doubt it

forest swan
cursive grotto
#

I am excited to see what TDA's dlc will be about though

#

Whenever it gets released

verbal void
#

He probably returned to hell permanently paralyzed while the demons try to get the crucible out

cursive grotto
#

3 archviles is nasty

forest swan
#

I usually use it for when I REALLY hate these guys

verbal void
forest swan
#

So crucible 2 archies

cursive grotto
#

I avoid using super weapons

#

Other than the unmaykr

verbal void
cursive grotto
#

I use it for barons and tyrants it's pretty awesome

forest swan
#

Its better than the BFG in tight spaces

cursive grotto
#

I ESPECIALLY don't use the hammer dear god that thing is op

#

It's too cheesy

verbal void
#

As a person who did horde mode. I can agree the hammer is OP

cursive grotto
#

It's not even hard to get

#

Like atleast with the crucible and BFG the ammo pickups are rare

#

You can literally spam the hammer

#

For something that's as strong as it is, you'd expect it to be hard to get, but no

#

You can spam it

fleet spruce
#

It's so satisfying to use too. I remember I once got both marauders stunned in that one immora encounter and haven't been able to replicate it since.

cursive grotto
#

If only you could stun the buff totem marauder in tag1

#

That guy will never not give me a heart attack

green estuary
cursive grotto
#

And not a possessed one

forest swan
#

What about both?

@frail bloom do we know if they confirmed the lower parry window setting coming with this update

#

tryina work on a list with everything thats confirmed and what isnt but could be in the update to post on twitter

harsh egret
#

Confirmed:

  • Master levels
  • Updates to the Atlan and Dragon to add more depth and replayability
  • Act 2/3 encounter updates
  • Chaingunners will become more of a threat
  • Weapon switching while blocking
  • Singletap/doubletap to select specific weapons in each class
  • Universal slight increase in weapon swap
  • Removed delay on shield-throw to make it feel a lot more snappy and responsive
  • Various polish/fixes to the shield
  • Balance changes to the Impaler and SSG
  • Slow-mo slider
  • Enhancements to the pinky bite attack
  • Increased size for the Komodo ground pound attack

Speculation:

  • Lower parry window setting (not confirmed for this update specifically but could come now, or with another update)
  • Making the 2 parryable projectiles for the Revenant be random (Hugo said that's how it should be, but nothing is confirmed for now)
  • Horde mode (or something similar, this was confirmed by Hugo through a reddit comment but not confirmed for this update yet)

is what i have so far, lmk if anybody knows anything ive missed, i probably missed some stuff

hasty stone
#

yeh hope it's more than 1 master level 🙂

#

for the q-con update i mean..

waxen maple
#

I have 75 hours in the game. Let this update get me to at least 100 🥰

#

By the way, I never did the master levels in Eternal. What are those, exactly?

hasty stone
#

i have 62 on my third run now but going to wait for the update

rain glen
#

Sooooo dlc ive seen some of the footage

#

Its in a snow area?!

waxen maple
#

I want to do a third playthrough on Pandemonium but I died so much to Ahzrak both fights.

rain glen
#

I'm guessing thira or novik will probably be giving us the details of what's going on. Or I wonder if well team up with valen or something.

harsh egret
#

go look up the sgn master level, its rly good

cunning slate
#

Mars Core is pretty a fun master level. That all pinky area is a blast.

He mentioned it like months ago

#

No clue if it's a slider or a mode

#

Nothing abt hotswapping was brought up in that

#

It was just to make it smoother

hard thistle

i would appreciate hotswapping as a feature in dark ages tho
