the-dark-ages

[obsidian shard]

god damn, big difference between the 2 site

I believe OpenCritic is the Average based on Multiple critic site!

(IGN, PCgamer, Metacritic)

So Opencritic's review is the Average!

[harsh egret]

ye i feel like opencritic is a bit better

(not just for the sole reason that tda is rated higher there )

[obsidian shard]

TDA Average is 87-90%

Metacritic doesnt reflect that at ALL

[harsh egret]

I got surprised when a friend of mine gave it a 8/10 when he doesn't even enjoy first person singleplayer games that much usually, he said he only really enjoyed this and cyberpunk to this degree

[meager vortex]

IGN they are not good they make a suck review

[harsh egret]

They gave it a 9/10 lol wat

[meager vortex]

yeah but i remember they gave a ALIEN: isloation 5.9/10

[harsh egret]

Yh but r u talking about alien isolation or dark ages here

Now idk what they said in the dark ages review but a 9/10 from ign is...yk

[meager vortex]

but they are 9/10 tda

[harsh egret]

I have no idea what the issue is here

[meager vortex]

i know one thing IGN they don't want a make a angry doom slayer (they will rip and tear if they do lol)

[midnight cedar]

Interesting

Alright judging off of what you two are saying I’m gonna assume someone asked about the revenants projectiles specifically

[half marlin]

1/10 or 3/10 to god hand 💔

[midnight cedar]

If Hugo really did respond like that

[obsidian shard]

yup!

[midnight cedar]

It’s possible that this may have a butterfly effect

[harsh egret]

Ye

[midnight cedar]

Maybe they’ll switch it up for a couple of other enemies too

[harsh egret]

I asked once and it feels like he forgot so ill remind him

[midnight cedar]

Thanks for that btw

Both of you

[obsidian shard]

Yes i hope so, i think the Agaddon was one they talked about too!

[frosty roost]

question - can you modify the setting for ultra nightmare on tda? i want to get the conqueror skins

[obsidian shard]

Yes

[frosty roost]

ah thank fuck, thank you!

[harsh egret]

Wasnt that a thing where they were gonna make some attack unparryable but they reverted that and kept it the same?

[midnight cedar]

Hopefully that’s a sign of what’s to come 👀

[harsh egret]

I doubt they will change the aggadon now

[obsidian shard]

Ya something like that, or still working on it

[harsh egret]

I think he is fine

[obsidian shard]

i mainly remeber the Pinky Change

[midnight cedar]

It at the very least shows that they are willing to change things up

Even if it doesn’t always work out

[harsh egret]

No yeah im pretty sure they reverted a change that didn't feel as good as they thought it would before one of the major patches

99% sure

[half marlin]

he sometimes does unparryable slash in close distance while it was def supposed to be distance attack

[harsh egret]

Well it doesnt break ur shield on base nightmare iirc at least

[obsidian shard]

Yup! I say look at the weapon changes and They wanna make it feel good!

[half marlin]

maybe, i mainly turn my back to that attack instead of blocking lol
idk why it's like a reflex

[obsidian shard]

The Non-parryable Projectile the Agaddon does ALWAYS Breaks my Shield

[obsidian shard]

Shield has 360 degree Range!

[harsh egret]

On 250% dmg?

[obsidian shard]

oh wait im 300% lmao my bad

[harsh egret]

I remember it took my shield to one hp

[obsidian shard]

nvm me then

[harsh egret]

Ye on 300% makes sense

[half marlin]

huh

[obsidian shard]

Basically you Can Parry Stuff behind you and Beside you as well, you don't have to look at it!

(Includes Blocking)

[half marlin]

parry
but not block

[half marlin]

lemme check

[harsh egret]

I think u can block too

[half marlin]

wtf really
was it all time like that?

since release?

[obsidian shard]

Yup!

[half marlin]

i thought it only works from front loll

170 hours 💀

[obsidian shard]

When will the DOOM: Arena Board Game be announced 😭

I know its today but when today

[harsh egret]

i think today

could also be today tho

[obsidian shard]

hmm i see

[hard thistle]

Board game???

[obsidian shard]

Nah, new comic book

[hard thistle]

Oh

[obsidian shard]

Yes, we are getting a new Board Game

2 of them

[hard thistle]

How tf didn't I know

[obsidian shard]

A 1993 Version and
a TDA Version

[hard thistle]

Thx for telling me

[obsidian shard]

The Kickstarter from Modiphius should be up today as they stated since Quakecon and Gencon

Its all bout waiting...

[green estuary]

Unless you’re playing above 300% it doesn’t break your shield (even then, don’t think it does)
If your shield is broken that means you’re also getting hit by the initial swing in addition to the projectile, which comes when you get too close

[obsidian shard]

ya, talked to Hato bought that, It was Breaking Because i was at 300%

[green estuary]

I am also at 300% damage
If you only get hit by the projectile, your shield does not break

The attack has two parts to it

[obsidian shard]

Ahh ok

thanks

[green estuary]

When his eyes turn red just backpedal a little bit so you don’t get hit by the melee swing

[obsidian shard]

I'm Eternally Waiting through this Dark Age

pov sneaky waiting for the board game

[warm ibex]

you and me both twin

im getting board waiting for this game 🗣️ 🔥

[obsidian shard]

Ong bruh 😭

[eternal brook]

I wish I could play good games instead of just mobile games god dang it

[obsidian shard]

Damn son

[eternal brook]

Sadness

[obsidian shard]

Angry Birds

[eternal brook]

Ohhhhhh

Hmmmmmmm

[obsidian shard]

DOOM: The Dark Ages the Mobile Game

[eternal brook]

OUUUUUHHH

[obsidian shard]

(rip Mighty DOOM)

[warm ibex]

I will never stop asking for Might Dark Ages

[slender night]

Unavailable

Well aside from the 1 dollar remake on iOS but it's not the best

[solid nacelle]

Mighty dark ages that doesn't shut down after just a little over a year

[warm ibex]

preach

[obsidian shard]

Bro I have Merch just sitting in a warehouse rn, because Canada Post is on strike (my Daily Canada Post rant begins)

[warm ibex]

mighty doom had its problems but it wasn't anything that couldn't have been fixed with a clearer monetization strategy

[slender night]

The game was in early access for like twice as long as it was actually fully out lmao

[warm ibex]

they took the time to get it right before the full release, I respect that

and even then it had some issues. but at least they cared!

[slender night]

It was a fine game

I don't miss it but I wouldn't be against it returning

[obsidian shard]

It was pretty fun

I Cant wait for the DLC

and i have a Genius name for it

"The Mancubusing"

[vivid light]

Have y'all beaten the secret encounter in chapter 18?

[obsidian shard]

Ya

ITS HARD ASF

[vivid light]

The fucking barons got me

Not like the one for the collectors one

But the one you need to hit 2 extra switches for

[obsidian shard]

Ya, hard asf, died like 3 times before finally beating

[vivid light]

Yeah took me 3 tries too

Baron part was the only hard part to me honestly. Wasn't ready for 3 of them with them being buffed

[frail bloom]

Mancin' it, Mancin' it

I stopped doing the secret encounter cuz it crashed and put me back to the start

So I'm salty and won't do it

Wait why is the pc score higher you would think on console you'd get more consistent frame rate and it would be more accessible in general

[hard thistle]

I wanted to try it but the respawn was so terrible

So I have to go back to it

I just die to the acolytes

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[harsh egret]

idk, can also just be random, maybe there were like 4-5 more critics who gave it smth like a 75 ot 80 instead of 85

and maybe it had nothing to do with the platform even

[vivid light]

The acolytes are easy to deal with if you stun them with your shieldsaw

Then you just go up in their face, ssg, remove shield, ssg

And then they're dead

[cerulean pagoda]

why is it that after i play tda and return to eternal i lose all my skill and have to do another entire nightmare playthrough just to get my skill back

[cerulean pagoda]

they are very annoying especially the purple goo they spawn around them i just spam rockets at them

[next thistle]

Yes, with 3 BFC shots, Dreadmace, and fully upgraded Heaven Splitter 😂

[solar cairn]

Acolyte is much more dangerous than a cyber demon

The cyberdemon has fewer ground attacks, the acolyte feels like covering the entire arena with ground attacks, it is not clear how to dodge them even

Just run, in a second a cloud appears from the ground and you die

[green estuary]

No shot

Hitscan, tracking skulls, and sentient ground spikes that follow you around the entire arena regardless of line of sight are way worse than telegraphed purple projectile rain

[solar cairn]

All this can be dodged or blocked, the rain is not blocked as far as I remember

[green estuary]

Yeah, you just go around them lol

It only gets annoying once you’ve got multiple acolytes in the same room

[solar cairn]

At a speed of 150, it’s not so easy

[solar cairn]

There don’t seem to be such arenas in the game to have several at once

[green estuary]

The secret one in belly of the beast does
Other than that encounter, acolytes are a complete pushover unless you crank the projectile speed up

[solar cairn]

I never got to the secret battle, I only recently found out about it

[green estuary]

All increased game speed does is tax your reflexes more
Acolyte purple stuff doesn’t suddenly become less feasible to dodge unless you mess with projectile speed
And besides, you can’t dodge cyberdemon hitscan at any game speed

[solar cairn]

Nerf.Acolyte.Pls

[hearty edge]

so fun

[hearty edge]

ah that one's cool

[warm ibex]

The way people talk about the Acolyte has me wondering if there's some sort of bug going around

Not even close to the first time (throughout the past month or so) that I've heard someone say the purple attacks are incredibly difficult or downright impossible to dodge

I've never had any trouble with them and I really don't think that's a purely skill related thing

[green estuary]

they're near-impossible to dodge at max projectile speeds because of the weird way the telegraph syncs up with the projectile
but in regular gameplay they're no big deal
I just tend to believe that people either don't have threat indicators enabled or just don't pay attention

[warm ibex]

do you have threat indicators enabled?

[green estuary]

I had previously, but not anymore

acolytes didn't give me much trouble either way

[hearty edge]

doom

[hearty edge]

damn bro i should have waited for the autumn sale to buy the dark ages

wdym 33% discount that's great

also 75% discount on doom eternal year one pass huh

i wont need microsoft store anymore

[frail bloom]

Alr time to continue my run

kinda cool asf ngl

[sterile dome]

What going on

[frail bloom]

Holy moly

[frail bloom]

Ok, the flaming tree arena in the 4th level is aids

It's just the armored mancs

[harsh egret]

pretty sure its 1.5k per statue

i can NOT afford this lmao

[obsidian shard]

It's peam

So instead of Board Game we get this

[harsh egret]

i could only dream

[obsidian shard]

Welp time to Get Savin!

[frail bloom]

I've been stuck on the vagary boss for like 30 min

His goop puddles are just the worst on max sliders

I DIIID ITTT

My god

Took forever

[warm ibex]

DAYUM where are these from???

the promo image makes it look like the slayer's head is being struck by lightning

would be kinda funny if the Slayer spent ages being an unstoppable force against Hell only to be vaporized by a stray bolt of lightning while fighting an imp

[frail bloom]

Hey some demon should test that out

Wait his suit is made of metal he should be getting striked

The demons should invade during a thunderstorm

Problem solved

[warm ibex]

Khalim

[frail bloom]

Ahzrak who?

[frail bloom]

Ye but the lightening didn't feel like lighteninening that day

[warm ibex]

and also UAC atlantica

that's a legit storm

[frail bloom]

They should channel the power of lightening

And shoot it at him

He can't react

I would know

Is it too much to ask that they rework some checkpoints in this game

Some of them just set you back waaaayy too far

(It also hurts a lot on max sliders)

[obsidian shard]

Prime 1 Statue

[warm ibex]

wait that's the Prime 1??

Pleasantly surprised! I expected something similar to the Eternal statue where it's just Doomguy standing there

Hell yeah, I'd totally grab that if it wasn't like a trillion dollars

[harsh egret]

Yh prime 1

Only thing ill own is a screenshot of it

[warm ibex]

we can print out the screenshots and frame them

[warm ibex]

It comes with an alternate helmetless head too? that's actually nuts https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1423140530526748754/G2NONTGaIAMIqm4.png?ex=68df3a67&is=68dde8e7&hm=5dbb2e093d145f6c72185d669f271b9f93c004b582f477b514a81af033ffbf02

[harsh egret]

It comes with the flail, cycler, ssg and chainshot AND pulverizer

U should look at the vid they made

@warm ibex look up the latest prime 1 showcase on yt, at minute 52:00
Its like 5 ish minutes of showing off all the diff parts and stuff

Its really sick

[warm ibex]

Yeah I'm looking at it rn, the Imp Stalker comes with an exploding head variant 😭 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1423142515648888922/image.png?ex=68df3c40&is=68ddeac0&hm=931d4306c25f2a3b079814e6cb746009faa3e5f50b71cc4b006bae184f414463

[harsh egret]

Fuck man

[warm ibex]

genuinely crazy to see something like that on a premium professional statue instead of the same "hero standing with weapon in hand" statues we normally get

might be my first prime 1

[harsh egret]

It might be upwards to 2k per

Maybe the imp could be "cheaper"

[warm ibex]

$1k - $1.2k USD

each, unless the Imp is less

[harsh egret]

Nah no way

[green estuary]

[harsh egret]

I think thats the imp price, could be even more

And the slayer might be over 2k but under that i dont think so

[warm ibex]

$1k - $1.2k is the typical price for their masterline statues

Although there are a few that surpass $2k, but I don't think the Slayer will be one of them

[harsh egret]

Maybe, but I'd be surprised

[warm ibex]

It is kinda hard to tell since some of them have crazy bases and still sell for $1.2k but others are relatively tame and go for upwards of $2k

I guess we'll know soon enough though lol

[uneven dragon]

oh thats fire

[warm ibex]

Like this Alita statue, which is a Premium Masterline 1/4 (like the Slayer) and comes with a whole scene for $1,650 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1423145863391477761/pmaba-02_a03_press.png?ex=68df3f5e&is=68ddedde&hm=71296457fa53cd6df9089d8444d75224056370125b41e6e0b18ca1e5efd68472

[harsh egret]

I think it also depends on the franchise ig

[warm ibex]

oh for sure

licensing and whatnot

[harsh egret]

Cuz the Alita one looks like it should be more but how many diehard Alita fans r there that would spend that much (maybe there are lol)

[warm ibex]

I think there definitely are super hardcore alita fans lol

unrelated but the narrator in the Prime 1 showcase vid pronounced id Tech like eye dee Tech and that hurts

[harsh egret]

Hahah yeah

[solid nacelle]

I love identification software

[warm ibex]

I'll have to settle for the gear store statues though

no matter how much they actually end up being, over $1k for a single statue is unfortunately out of my price range. Hopefully the gear store puts out an Imp Stalker statue at some point

[harsh egret]

At least the in game toys

But iirc they didnt have any plans to do more atm?

I could be wrong

[warm ibex]

That's what was said during the second TDA stream I believe

[harsh egret]

yeah thats what i remember too

[warm ibex]

Something must be funky with the production process

otherwise I figure they'd already have a few numskull TDA figures up for preorder

[harsh egret]

more rubber duckies

[warm ibex]

I also feel like sales numbers for the Eternal line might've been lower than we think. I kept seeing them shoved in the discount section of GameStop for like half price

and they never finished the Eternal line despite prototypes being made and Numskull mentioning that they planned on producing more

[harsh egret]

yep, probably why

[warm ibex]

rather unfortunate

[harsh egret]

ill be getting some of the eternal ones in january, im alot more into collecting these days also considering back when eternal came out i didnt really have money to spend on these things

[warm ibex]

I'm trying to get out of collecting personally, but I'll buy an Imp Stalker figure/statue in a heartbeat

the classic imp is one of my favorite designs and enemies in the entire franchise, has been for years. cannot skip out on imp merch

[harsh egret]

maybe they will have some imp stalker designs on their id signature series clothing

im kinda looking forward to that actually, especially since i love oversized t shirts and they showed off some of those on stream before

hopefully they reveal them tomorrow or friday since they said that would be this week

[fresh perch]

Okay, I need a definitive answer. Is DOOM 3 a bad game.

[harsh egret]

wrong chat bud

[meager vortex]

doom3 is well..... that game....

[warm ibex]

depends on the version you play and what you want out of it

[fresh perch]

I mean the question as in, what other people think, not to decide if I wanna play. Just, gimme your thoughts! Did you enjoy it or dislike it?

[warm ibex]

Played the BFG edition and thought it was alright. Solid atmosphere, god awful horror, half decent combat after you get halfway into it. Typically I prefer longer games but Doom 3 goes on way longer than it needs to despite being a six - eight hour campaign on a first time playthrough

Can't really speak on the original or xbox versions but BFGE drags its feet way too much and takes too long to realize that it actually does want to be an atmospheric action shooter and not just a halfhearted horror fps

[warm ibex]

Josh specifically said this Thursday iirc

so should be tomorrow, which I'm hyped for. I'd like another doom shirt or two

[harsh egret]

oh damn

hell yeah then

[green estuary]

I don't care for it
most of the guns don't feel very fun to shoot imo, and the movement also feels incredibly clunky
90% of the game's difficulty just comes from random enemies either getting spawned directly behind you or waiting behind a door to get a cheap hit off at you, and none of this comes off as actual horror, more just annoyances and cheap jumpscares that become incredibly tiresome after the first 2 times they happen to you
oh, and if you get hit by anything, your whole screen shakes violently and you become unable to aim your weapon or do literally anything
it feels like it's trying to mix a survival horror game in with the traditional doom action shooter formula, and I don't think it does either aspect particularly well

a lot of people like it, which I can understand
but to me it honestly feels like I'm just putting up with the game for the majority of the time rather than actually playing it

[fresh perch]

Honestly, I gotta say it, i don’t really like DOOM: The Dark Ages. I think, in the series of the Doom games, it’s too slow. And the removal of glory kills really added to that. I also think that ‘Prince Ahzrak’ is a weak story wise antagonist, as he sort of feels like, just some random dude (he may have more lore, but I haven’t played through the whole game) . The games demon models feels similar to the downgrade of DOOM: Eternals models after the amazing DOOM 2016. The addition of the shield is cool, but, it doesn’t really feel like something Doomguy would use. All these add together, and make Doom the dark ages feel pretty bad, even if it does have its highlights.

[green estuary]

first off idk how you're passing judgement after not having played through the whole game
but the lack of glory kill animations in the middle of combat is making the game slower? not exactly sure how that works
and if ahzrak, a literal prince of hell, just feels like a random antagonist, I'm not entirely sure how olivia pierce or the khan maykr managed to feel less random in your eyes lol

[solid beacon]

Ahzrak like maledict from doom 3 did on roe.

[green falcon]

Early 2026 dlc ?

[solid beacon]

Yes.

[uneven dragon]

original doom 3 is goated doom 3 bfg edition is mid

[fresh perch]

On okay

[hearty edge]

i feel that's the most reasonable release date

[hearty edge]

no

i prefer it over doom 64 imo

and doom 64 is goated still

[hearty edge]

i wouldn't mind it releasing later tho so that they can really slow cook the enemies, encounters, and bosses instead of microwaving it like they did with tag 2

[fresh perch]

Well, to clarify, I think my feeling for Prince Ahzrak mainly came from the fact that, before DTDA, we had never heard about him. Olivia pierce sort of made sense, by being a human supporting argent energy usage, and using hell. Khan Makyr also was kind of random, but, still fit into the maykrs. But Ahzrak felt, well, just wrong. Also, im currently playing through the campaign, and so my opinion could change. For now though, I still think it’s a good game, just not that good. And, glory kills felt like a break between fast combat, and I think they showed Doomguys power, seeing him obliterate a demon.

[obsidian shard]

imo, Ahzrak feels like the Most Fitting villain for the Game (Surprisingly Cunning and Intriguing villain), You just got to learn about him by watching the Story

For GK it shows ALOT in later game why they removed it and imo its the smoothest combat out of the trilogy, (GK are still in the game-you got to jump above the demon)

In other News, THAT PRIME1STUDIO Statue is gonna make me do terrible things!

[fresh perch]

I mean, I guess, this topic starts debates, which is kinda what im looking for, but, it’s just my opinion

[obsidian shard]

Also Best of Luck to Finishing Move for the GRAMMY® Nomination/Consideration!

[obsidian shard]

Debates are Good (Opinions are also needed)

[wheat sigil]

too slow... okay
https://youtu.be/If-vqaFWvig?si=lsGp2BFVQusmBKay&t=55

[uneven dragon]

Better than Davoth

[solid beacon]

Maledict was like ahzarak on other hand.

[uneven dragon]

Bertruger/Maledict is probably the best villain we’ve had

Olivia was also pretty cool, less present than Bertruger but that’s mostly because of (back when he was a good character) Samuel being so important

[fresh perch]

That looks to me like they just went into settings and upped the game speed :/

I did that as well so that it felt faster

[solar cairn]

[wheat sigil]

"removing" glory kills in tda was amazing and came one game too late imo

[fresh perch]

OBJECTION

[wheat sigil]

i don't think the badassery should come from an animation where the player does absolutely nothing but watch, in games about skill
and doomguy's power is already showed by killing large hordes of demons, moving really fast, and all that
and using it as a pace breaker was unnecessary, as it feels very disruptive and i haven't seen a single complaint for the urdak level where glory kills are basically useless

[solar cairn]

There are not enough intermediate animations

I don’t know why they decided that a kick with a foot and a shield is enough, at least they made variations or something

You see these animations all the time and they quickly get boring because of the monotony

[wheat sigil]

i can understand that

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[warm ibex]

I wish people weren't so obsessed over this

[obsidian shard]

Ong ngl

[warm ibex]

It's rather unfortunate that a lot of people favor hype moments and aura over actual gameplay improvement

accidentally activating a traditional glory kill in TDA while you have a few other guys in gk state is super annoying

I don't know who would want to cram the previous system into tda

[obsidian shard]

I'm dying over the way you described it 😭

"Hype Moments and Aura" I'm Wheezing

But I do agree with your points, The combat is more reactive this time around too, so it needed to adapt

[unkempt dragon]

Hi people

[warm ibex]

omg hi!!!

[unkempt dragon]

You're that guy!

[uneven dragon]

im a big fan of traditional glory kills being left out of TDA but also the manc shield glory kill is the ultimate hype moment (with aura) so im happy those still exist in it somewhat

[warm ibex]

On the offchance you're not aware, I do want to mention that standard glory kills are fully in the game. If you jump while initiating your final strike it'll play a synced animation, each demon has one from the front and one from the back. There's some timing to it, but it doesn't take much effort to figure out

Cacodemons are the hardest to activate but they do exist

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1274368849495720017/1408555240030212226/watch_yo_tone_mf.gif

[harsh egret]

what if in the next game we'll be able to be fully in control of glory kills in a way that we can finish off and tear off demons with our hand/melee however we want

i have no idea how that would be implemented in a proper way that makes sense with the rest of the combat but yk

[uneven dragon]

VFR if it was awesome and also took 10 years of development time

[obsidian shard]

Hello LM-612

[harsh egret]

sounds cool on paper but doesnt fit with the "guns" part of the gameplay i think lol

sounds more like a melee game thing

[obsidian shard]

THEY DO HAVE GK, I've been looking everywhere

[unkempt dragon]

I had a dream like that one night

[harsh egret]

imagine doom going all melee

[unkempt dragon]

too far

[uneven dragon]

i prefer doom having like actual melee as opposed to just Thing With Charge like 1-3's chainsaw

[harsh egret]

hahah

[warm ibex]

I actually activated one on accident the other day! Got it recorded too

[uneven dragon]

TDA is still Thing With Charge but it refreshes so often it feels a little less like that

[harsh egret]

its better cuz u can refill those charges by parrying

[obsidian shard]

I keep forgetting that the Gauntlets have charges since they are ALWAYS full (Unless bossfight)

[sour oar]

What year does this game take place?

[warm ibex]

I don't believe a specific year is given. It doesn't take place on Earth so I'm not sure if the year would even matter

[dreamy kiln]

It would be pretty hard to find a specific year rn cuz 2016 takes place in the 22nd century and 64 still takes place in the 21st century, so we'll probably find out if the devs confirm or put something in the game

[fading mason]

Hi everyone! Did Hugo already talk about the DLC? I saw a picture, but I didn't hear any other information unfortunately...

[dreamy kiln]

Not much, dw we're all waiting for more info too

[unkempt dragon]

[fading mason]

well I believe so... I trust him, since winter skiing is provided, he will surprise us with a little happiness in winter

[fading mason]

Thanks for answer!

[dreamy kiln]

Does modifying the difficulty still get you the skin?

Or did they make it so it dose not?

[fading mason]

if I heard correctly in a group, you'll get it in principle, but if you're a real slayer, you don't need to modify it!

😸

[dreamy kiln]

Yes

[glad matrix]

How do I log into Bethesda.net in DOOM The Dark Ages? I'm getting an error.

There are no errors in DOOM 3 on PS4.

[uneven dragon]

yea this kept happening to me too

i can log in fine on eternal/doom 1 + 2/64 but not tda

[midnight cedar]

This has got to be the 2nd funniest gk in the game

Only beaten by the Arachnatron

[plush geode]

Okay, cool because I did ultra nightmare legit and I don’t wanna do the second hardest difficulty I can’t remember the name at the moment properly because ultra nightmare was hard as it was

[dreamy kiln]

It's called pandemonium I believe

[frosty roost]

dark ages is great

[strong moth]

I love Dark Ages. I’ve gone back to Eternal twice and each time realize I wish I was just playing Dark Ages again. I understand that the changes aren’t for everyone but I prefer the feel, aesthetic, and gameplay loop of Dark Ages

[plush geode]

Yeah, that’s the difficulty. I just couldn’t remember it because I was out of the house.

[midnight cedar]

I didn’t know rage bait was allowed on this server

[frosty roost]

plus the medieval feeling of Dark Ages is so nice

[frail bloom]

It's not

[frail bloom]

Ahzrak isn't mentioned bc he was a leader for two days

He's a literal nobody in the grand scheme of things

The only achievement he gets is mixing wraith energy with demon energy

He's likely the first

[midnight cedar]

I know I’m just kidding

[frail bloom]

Also you can prefer different styles but the models in dark ages are objectively better graphically. Higher poly's, natural lighting, animations are smoother. If you prefer a different style then all power to ya I like 2016's the best, but dark ages is objectively better in the graphics department.

[midnight cedar]

The guys is clearly rage baiting so might as well have some fun with it

[frail bloom]

I have him blocked

I'm oblivious to what he's saying

[midnight cedar]

He wrote “why does dark ages look so shit and feels like shit”

[midnight cedar]

To be honest that’s probably what I should do

But he’s also kind of funny so I might not

[frail bloom]

I personally think that they should at least try to implement gk's in a new system. I thought of a meter system where you build them up by melee finishers. Not required, like Hugo said once, he'll put them in a game if the game doesn't go against it. It won't be this game tho

[frail bloom]

Well you can still see what he says if you click the x button

[delicate grotto]

I rarely look in this server now and yet, without fail, somehow I see that same guy complaining about this game. Lmao.

[frail bloom]

He's stuck in Limbo

[delicate grotto]

Tragic

[midnight cedar]

Which is crazy because I don’t even think he comments all that often

[delicate grotto]

Yeah, although I really like the direction TDA took with its finishers, there’s plenty of room to improve it. I definitely think the next game should implement a new system with more variety/ freedom to its executions.

[frail bloom]

And also they kinda went overboard on the slomo

Good thing they have the slider

It's not an issue anymore

But during launch it gradually got worse

[delicate grotto]

Agreed. I’m surprised how the game released without a toggle/ slider for it honestly. Given the push to make this game a lot more customizable. At least it’s here now.

[frail bloom]

Ye that's great

[hard thistle]

Controller is more effective than a mouse and keyboard this game

In100%

[wheat sigil]

wherefore?

[hard thistle]

Just the whole game

You can't get the full benefit of the pulverizer speed boost without a stick

To be laser precise all the time in high speed

Precise with sprinting and movement

This is what I'm theorizing

Because I imagine it's not as easy with 4 directions I imagine that's kinda like moving with a d pad and that would be yikes

[wheat sigil]

it's not really an issue in my experience at least, since the mouse exists

[hard thistle]

Mhm I thought about that too

But controller is better movement always

[wheat sigil]

it may be marginally better with a controller, but mouse and keyboard got other advantages

[hard thistle]

I haven't played on keyboard in a long time, what are the main advantages

[wheat sigil]

that depends, in a game such as eternal or dark ages, (even more so eternal) not running at full speed isn't particularly needed or beneficial

[wheat sigil]

you got binds for all weapons and actions and aiming along with looking around is easier

however, the difference between keyboard and mouse probably isn't particularly large in tda

[frail bloom]

The gap isn't as large between console and pc for dark ages

[wheat sigil]

yea

[frail bloom]

A console player can easily achieve what a pc player is doing in this game

Meanwhile eternal has a much larger gap

[hard thistle]

That's what I realized trying to play eternal after getting to the skill ceiling in dark ages, it did not feel good...

And about the movement I want you to think about 100% getting all the items

I also don't think many people see what optimal movement is really like

In this game...

I could go into more stuff too like how PC can't switch weapons faster than controller in this game

[wheat sigil]

that was true for eternal too

[hard thistle]

That's why eternal has to stay a casual game

For me

[wheat sigil]

what do you mean?

[hard thistle]

Like it's just frustrating not being able to play at the skill ceiling in eternal when you can do it in dark ages on a controller

[wheat sigil]

you can always push higher though, in eternal no player is at the skill ceiling

and same for the dark ages

[hard thistle]

Yeah I should say, just high skill level

I have like 700 hours or whatever

It's hard to go back to eternal

And hard to sit through glory kills and take eons to kill dozens of strong enemies with melee when they upgraded to executions in dark ages

When a dark ages brutal uppercut sends a cyber demon ragdolling a few feet off the ground

Like how can you just watch the same animation, it's like Hugo said

[wheat sigil]

oh yeah glory kills suck lol, but you also don't need to do a lot of them

i very rarely glory kill, better to just shoot the enemy

[hard thistle]

And it just doesn't give you ammo lol I was trying to subconsciously melee for ammo in eternal 🥀

Like glory kill for ammo lmao

[wheat sigil]

loll

[hard thistle]

That's why I instantly got shit on in the first arena of the ancient gods

[upbeat junco]

the forbidden action

tried that on arachno in hoe and got melted before i realized I'm playing the wrong game

[hard thistle]

Yeah and just having no ammo all the time cause the capacities are so low

Because you're supposed to be chainsawing on cooldown more or less

[upbeat junco]

idm the ammo reserves being shallow

i just have the curse of meleeing for ammo 🥀

[harsh egret]

lmao the jebait

wave 1 of id signature series merch is out in a week, they just did a small announcement @warm ibex

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/491020118780805140/1423340504157917327/image.png?ex=68dff4a4&is=68dea324&hm=d46dcb39d8925d59151d8f4d1226600e0fa59d5481d7cb555a57a92ad077c6f4&

[frail bloom]

So are they showing them off next week

[harsh egret]

top left one of one of the ones they showed on stream

[frail bloom]

Which stream, last one?

[harsh egret]

no, a while ago

[frail bloom]

Oh wait

Yeah

[harsh egret]

also the third thing looks like a leather jacket?

fuck man

[frail bloom]

So they'll reveal one shirt each stream then?

[harsh egret]

no lol they are dropping all those next week

[frail bloom]

Oh ok

[harsh egret]

has nothing to do with the streams

[frail bloom]

I see

[harsh egret]

also "capsule collection" does that mean we have to buy all of those in a bundle

[frail bloom]

I ain't doing that

[harsh egret]

cuz thats easily 400 bucks or smth

probably more

[obsidian shard]

Bro, we aare soo cooked for merch

No wallet left untouched

[harsh egret]

im fine spending 200-300, if say the jacket is REALLY cool

otherwise ill just get some of the tshirts

[frail bloom]

Adults are weird

They just give money for anything

Am I doomed for the same fate

[harsh egret]

maybe some people purposely save up for stuff like this

[obsidian shard]

yes

[harsh egret]

ppl spend money on all sorts of hobbies and other shit

[obsidian shard]

DND

[frail bloom]

Not being judgemental but rip your wallet

[obsidian shard]

its barely a Wallet, Part-time Job makes it barely survive

so we have 3 shirt design confirmed?

[harsh egret]

i think 2

these 2 seem to be part of this first wave

aka the first 2 on the first row

[obsidian shard]

The 3rd one looks like the Impaled Soldier head That they showed

(Would send photo but don't know how 😭 )

[warm ibex]

very nice! wonder if we'll get the full reveals tonight

[harsh egret]

hopefully

[frail bloom]

In screenshots

And then paste the message link

[harsh egret]

or just dm the pics to Mee6 or some other bot like i do

[burnt gate]

Where do they sell them?

[harsh egret]

Bethesda gear store

[burnt gate]

Dope

[obsidian shard]

Thank you 🙏

[frail bloom]

So stylized

[warm ibex]

did you guys see they put bj blazkowicz in world of tanks? fully voiced with original lines, too 😭

I know that's not TDA related but it's still crazy nonetheless

[frosty roost]

new doom merch?

[harsh egret]

yessir

[frosty roost]

omg hell yeah!!

[warm ibex]

that's sick as fuck

[harsh egret]

also the bottom left shirt looks like the slayer in the maykr ship in the opening scene before he gets launched

hoodie i mean

[obsidian shard]

Bbeo what...

[solar cairn]

It’s a T-shirt?

[topaz oasis]

I like both tbh

Fuck 2016 tho

[solar spoke]

Wait really? That's awesome

[frail bloom]

@obsidian shard you said you talked with Alex the other day, do you know all the instruments and techniques they used(or what they told you they used)?

[gusty seal]

Help me expand my channel https://www.youtube.com/@fdoomguy Open to tips and what not! Wish to become a thriving member of the community.

[frail bloom]

Does this count as advertising

[grizzled thicket]

I think so

or wait

[topaz oasis]

At least show me some sick gameplay dood

[gusty seal]

Nope not advertising more Like intition or traing or sumthing

[gusty seal]

show me sick

[topaz oasis]

Say no more

[gusty seal]

i play max sliders too practically.

I know of murican eagle and zero.

[obsidian shard]

Yes, I uploaded it all to the DOOM WIKI, I will DM you deets in a bit if you wish, I'm just a work rn

[gusty seal]

heck yeah sure

wait that wasnt to me... was it haha

[warm ibex]

Crazy that it's the first time we've got any original Wolfenstein content since 2019

I know there's a streaming series in the works but I hope Machine's next project is Wolfenstein III instead of an Indiana Jones sequel

[gusty seal]

https://tenor.com/view/spielberg-lucas-hunters-shotgun-gif-13637460 @warm ibex

[warm ibex]

what

[gusty seal]

ohhh south park indiana jones

that's Spielberg and George Lucas haha makers of the real Indiana

they well... do things to Indiana in the episode. they made the episode when the 4th movie came out and they said the movie was so bad that it was like r* Indiana Jones, it was cus of the Aliens and a few other things. . so they made an episode of Lucas and Spielberg being cash grab soulless guys who have their way with Indiana Jones.

[topaz oasis]

@gusty seal this is me breaking the game https://imgur.com/a/OV6R57c

now how sick is that

[gusty seal]

bro i do that for fun after my morning coffee

Ye I'd like that, whenever you're ready

[gusty seal]

What speed runners call breaking a game, I call scared to rip and tear. So they check point skip or float through walls lool @topaz oasis

[topaz oasis]

ic, chill with the pings tho

[warm ibex]

probably better than walking up all those stairs

[topaz oasis]

true true

those long-ass stairs are the true ultra-nightmare

[wheat sigil]

intended gameplay mechanic
the devs wanna show off their skyboxes😤

[topaz oasis]

I'm gonna call it the "going to heck" tech

[gusty seal]

Its not a bug... but a feature intended to give the best experience to as many players as possible. No I totally get that...

[half marlin]

where exactly on wiki did u post it? can't find it lol

[obsidian shard]

DOOM: The Dark Ages OST, (it's probably waiting for Confirmation from the mods)

[half marlin]

yea probably is

[solar spoke]

That's surreal though, I don't count Young blood so for me it's been nearly 10 years lol

Wolf 3 is definitely their next project now that order of giants is out

[warm ibex]

Here's what @obsidian shard sent me the other day.

Apprehension engine
Balalaika
Blades of grass
Bowed acoustic guitar
Cello
Choir (Finishing Move themselves)
Double bass
Elk-skin drums
Mandolin
Metal Sculpture (From The Callisto Protocol)
Nordic bass tagelharpa
Hardware synths
Modular synth
(This does not Include Samples, Such as Church bells or
Organs)

[frail bloom]

What is a Balalaika

What is a Mandolin

[half marlin]

they recorded the choir themselves? damnnnnn

[frail bloom]

What is a Metal sculpture

What is Apprehension engine

Wait is the Metal sculpture the murder box

[half marlin]

Russian guitar

[frail bloom]

Ah ok

[warm ibex]

you've never heard of a mandolin before?

[frail bloom]

No

[warm ibex]

interesting

[frail bloom]

What is it?

[warm ibex]

uhh let me wiki the exact definition so I don't get it wrong

[frail bloom]

Right

[warm ibex]

"A mandolin (Italian: mandolino, pronounced [mandoˈliːno]; literally "small mandola") is a stringed musical instrument in the lute family and is generally plucked with a pick. It most commonly has four courses of doubled strings tuned in unison, thus giving a total of eight strings. A variety of string types are used, with steel strings being the most common and usually the least expensive. The courses are typically tuned in an interval of perfect fifths, with the same tuning as a violin (G3, D4, A4, E5). Also, like the violin, it is the soprano member of a family that includes the mandola, octave mandolin, mandocello and mandobass."

[frail bloom]

Where did they use this instrument? What song

[warm ibex]

I mean I don't know what you wanted me to tell you on the spot other than "guitar type shit" 😭

[frail bloom]

Hey Sneaky did they tell you what songs they used these weird instruments in

[frail bloom]

Just Joshin' with ya

[warm ibex]

I'd say throughout the whole OST for most of them

[frail bloom]

Ye but I want to know which segments

So I can pinpoint their sound

[warm ibex]

I'm interesting in know what "from The Callisto Protocol" means

like a prop from the game? or something they just used for the Callisto OST?

[frail bloom]

Well they used a murder box

Or so they call it

Maybe it's the same thing

Now what do they mean by Apprehension engine

Actually that metal sculpture might be in one of FM's short clips back in January-March

When they played Infernal Chasm

[obsidian shard]

The Metal sculpture is the Murder Box If I remember Apprehension Engine, is a Special Synth I believed

[frail bloom]

It was some weird metal thing with rods

[frail bloom]

Did they tell you which songs they were in

[obsidian shard]

No

[frail bloom]

No what

What other instruments can they use

A Hurdy Gurdy

https://tenor.com/view/hurdy-gurdy-hurdy-gurdy-draailier-drehleier-gif-12943758

[obsidian shard]

I suggest Reaching out to them, They are really nice and will answer almost anything

[frail bloom]

Well what am I gonna say "hey uuuuhhh Alex yu thought abt usin a Hurrdy Gurddyy"

[wheat sigil]

yes

[frail bloom]

Genius

[wheat sigil]

you're welcome

[frail bloom]

Did it

[obsidian shard]

Precisely

[harsh egret]

i got confirmation from Josh that all the stuff in the merch drop can be bought separately

[frail bloom]

Preciously

Ye I asked

[obsidian shard]

"angry hurtful words"

[obsidian shard]

Peam

[frail bloom]

What do y'all think abt the new Mick Gordon track

[spiral crow]

Is the stream happening?

[frail bloom]

At 6:00 pm

[spiral crow]

Okay, thanks

[frail bloom]

Yurp

[obsidian shard]

Didn't know he made one, what is it?

[frail bloom]

Go in the music tab

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[frail bloom]

In 2 hrs

[midnight cedar]

I don’t see the stream

Normally they have it set as a premiere like 4 hours beforehand

[burnt gate]

Will there be a stream?

[obsidian shard]

Ya, it's kinda.... Sus

[midnight cedar]

Please god don’t tell me it’s cancelled again

My sanity can’t take it

[frail bloom]

They do?

[midnight cedar]

Normally yes

I always see it on YouTube around 4 hours before the stream actually starts

[frail bloom]

Well they have no reason to set it up that early

If they cancelled it, oh well

[half marlin]

they'd announce it in server

that it's cancelled

[frail bloom]

Yup

[midnight cedar]

Which is why I’m suspicious for the moment

If it’s not cancelled then I’m glad to be wrong

For now I’ll just sit and wait

[frail bloom]

Hugo's gonna decimate the three cyberdemon encounter

[spiral crow]

Guys the stream is happening

It's on youtube right now

[topaz oasis]

hold on, what 3 cyberdemons encounter???

[solid nacelle]

There's a secret lever in harbor of souls that spawns 3 cyberdemons, I think it's after you pick up the red skull key

[topaz oasis]

dog, what the hell, there's so much hidden stuff in this game

[gusty seal]

Doom is all about secrets and exploration

[solid nacelle]

https://youtu.be/JefSPm_U2yI?si=Lsl4WkgHjLLncvzl

[midnight cedar]

https://www.youtube.com/live/yvYW9wL-YqY?si=OtuDfvZUj31OyCLo

Thank fuck I was wrong

[solar cairn]

Ееееееее

[solar spoke]

let's face it, that secret encounter is gonna be a breeze for Hugo after last week lol

[solid nacelle]

Yeah he's gonna knock it out on his first try. If not, it's bugged

[green estuary]

I’m pretty sure those cyber demons are programmed to be less aggressive than normal
Because otherwise you’d die incredibly fast since two of them would just hitscan you to death while you fought the third one

[topaz oasis]

what if I get them close to each other and parry the 3 of them at the same time?

[wheat sigil]

then you are gamer

[grim cloud]

id rather watch on twitch, dont see it up there yet

okay there it goes, just started

[harsh egret]

twitch chat is always better

[frail bloom]

Josh isn't wrong it did feel like 5 seconds

The week just flew by

[frail bloom]

Huh ok

This is prob the last balancing update then

[solid nacelle]

Some kinda QOL tunable coming at some point

[frail bloom]

Nvm I was abt to ask

Every mechanic added will really make a difference

Like the hammer in dlc, expect meaningful additions

Expanding abilities

Skill requirements

There will be a hub

Exploration will be a major priority

[half marlin]

maybe that maykr ship from the ending

[frail bloom]

I think so too

[solid nacelle]

Most definitely

[frail bloom]

Hey this is awesome

Sweet info

Someone should compile all info we have on dlc

New mechanics for exploration too

[solid nacelle]

I was actually hoping they would repurpose the kreed's ship to be a hub world

[frail bloom]

Hugo that's more than enough

Too kind of you

[half marlin]

Hugo's phone vibrating after he spoke about DLC, Josh: "Someone says you're done"

[frail bloom]

I chuckled a bit ngl

[harsh egret]

kreed ship will be the hub then probably

[frail bloom]

I think I'll compile all the info

[solar cairn]

Great news, I really missed it, I hope they will give content for fans like in the eternal, where there was a doomguy room and music tracks from other games

The training ground was also a cool thing, although there is a ripatorium here

[warm ibex]

yeah for sure

[green estuary]

maykr ship hub is gonna go crazy

[frail bloom]

All we know abt DLC so far:

• Will expand mechanics from the base game in both combat and exploration
-Will be meaningful changes and not tacked on
-"from 2016 to Eternal"(to some extent)
• Exploration has good backtracking and is especially required in this dlc(to progress meaningfully)
• There will be a hub(most likely the Kreeds ship)
• The puzzles are really fun
• There will be new ai that shake things up
• We will most likely be hunting the high council in dlc
-dlc will expand the story in ways that people want
• We have a dlc concept art

If I should add anything let me know

[half marlin]

from 2016 to eternal*

[frail bloom]

Oh ok

[warm ibex]

I like the sporadic bullet point formats lol

[frail bloom]

Sorry I had to type it really fast

[half marlin]

he went to custom master levels on controller 💀

[warm ibex]

he might be cooked 😭

[frail bloom]

Why is there no sound

[half marlin]

Idk if it possible to beat some of those levels without sylar lock-on burst and he went with controller

[harsh egret]

lmfao this is bringing back huge eternal stream vibes

[frail bloom]

Why is he playing eternal like that

It hurts my soul

[harsh egret]

cuz bro hasnt played it in god knows how long

[frail bloom]

It's killing me

[harsh egret]

the goat

[frail bloom]

Haha

He walks so slow

How does he even manage to do that

[warm ibex]

I don't think he's even dashing

I feel that lmao

[frail bloom]

It's impressive

Not even quick switching

[harsh egret]

i still havent gone back to eternal after dark ages launched

[frail bloom]

Simply shooting

[harsh egret]

im curious how that would be

[solid nacelle]

I saw the revenant get staggered and expected him to shield bash over to him I got the dark ages brainrot

[harsh egret]

lol

[frail bloom]

Lol

Josh feels the same

[warm ibex]

yeah this is making me wonder how I'd play lol

[solar cairn]

I was coming back, during the first mission I didn’t understand why the character walks so slowly, then it turned out that it should be like this

[frail bloom]

Well he can just dash tho

I actually played recently(like 2 months ago) and it was pretty easy to get used to it

[green estuary]

the first 3 levels are harder than usual, then it starts feeling more normal after cultist base
most of the difficulty came from me fat-fingering my normal weapon combos lmao

pb rocket was sloooow

[frail bloom]

Oh I forgot to add melee and rune swapping to the info

That's prob gonna be a dlc thing

Wait do y'all consider it a dlc thing or just an update close to dlc

To clarify

[harsh egret]

he said that last stream, to me it sounded like it will come with dlc

idk

[frail bloom]

But will it be in the base campaign

[green estuary]

what's the name of the master level hugo's playing rn?

[frail bloom]

Weird to have a qol change in a dlc

I'm just not sure

[harsh egret]

what difference would it make

if its a month before dlc or with dlc

[green estuary]

it'll probably just come along at the same time as the dlc
I don't think it's gonna be paywalled

just lumping their updates together if I had to guess

[frail bloom]

Ok ok ye so it's just closer to dlc but not exclusive to dlc

I won't add it then

[uneven dragon]

binding of isaac players know that pain all too well

[solar cairn]

By the way, after the full completion of the campaign, I have unused resources, gold and so on

Either they were left for a special one for the DLC in larger quantities, or I don’t even know..

But it would be cool if you could buy skins for guns or doomguy in the hub

[half marlin]

arc complex levels by beth

[frail bloom]

No that's so you have a good chance for upgrading everything

Imagine having to get every piece of gold

I would flip a table

[frail bloom]

.

Lol they won't stop

Hear that

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-read-old-news-gif-9870921

[frail bloom]

So what

[solar cairn]

Well, it would encourage you to replay the levels, it’s not so critical for this game, because the essence is in the gameplay

[frail bloom]

I ain't getting 5 piece of gold scattered across the map

F that

Has anyone tried making a classic baron in Idstudio

Why hasn't anyone taken a gladiator, made it red and get rid of all the gear

And then paste it on a baron of hell ai

C'mon now where are the priorities

[harsh egret]

confirmed no purple goo in the dlc

[frail bloom]

A tragedy

[harsh egret]

i cant believe it

[frail bloom]

Good thing we have indistinguishable acid

Even better

I 100% spelled that wrong

Someone correct me

[green estuary]

yeah now we have enemies that shoot purple goo that damages you lmao

https://tenor.com/view/stonks-up-stongs-meme-stocks-gif-15715298

[solar cairn]

How much content is waiting

DLC, ripatorium 2.0, master levels..

It’s a pity that it’s a long wait

[frail bloom]

Oh well

At least it's coming

Just gotta wait

[frail bloom]

They should've made it more vibrant I hate how hard it is to see

[green estuary]

new tda mod is hot pink mancubus/vagary bile

[frail bloom]

I don't care at least I can see it

It's so much harder especially in siege

Green backround, greenish floor, green fog

Like what

Here come's the lame berserk

[green estuary]

hugo died 5 seconds after he got the berserk

[frail bloom]

He should just use the shield throw

[autumn stump]

What

[frail bloom]

And then melee

[green estuary]

makes me realize how much harder everything hits in TDA

[frail bloom]

You don't realize that till you play max sliders

At least for me

All of the sudden acid puddles snipe you

Melee attacks break your shield instantly

[green estuary]

even on 250 or 300% you can lose health crazily fast
there are very few attacks in eternal like that

[frail bloom]

Fence projectiles are AIDS

Absolutely bane of my existence

[solar cairn]

I just chose SSG and managed to kill everyone during the berserk

[green estuary]

funnily enough, armored manc projectiles make them unable to be damaged by the auto turret rune

[frail bloom]

I hate armored manc projectiles on max sliders they're one of the hardest enemies to fight

Funny enough the pulverizer is very useful on max sliders

It kills everything rather quickly and no aim required

The more the speed increases the more useful the pulverizer is

Harder to aim and more chances to mess up

Wait what did Hugo say?????

Someone just said will there be cutscenes

And he said it'll be different

Huh???

[half marlin]

Will we see such cutscenes in dlc? (context: after the doom 4 reference cutscene)
Hugo: it'll be differrent

[harsh egret]

[frail bloom]

I guess I'll add that to the info

[harsh egret]

quick time events in cutscenes

[frail bloom]

All we know abt DLC so far:

• Will expand mechanics from the base game in both combat and exploration
-Will be meaningful changes and not tacked on
-"from 2016 to Eternal"(to some extent)
• Exploration has good backtracking and is especially required in this dlc(to progress meaningfully)
• There will be a hub(most likely the Kreeds ship)
• The puzzles are really fun
• There will be new ai that shake things up
• We will most likely be hunting the high council in dlc
-dlc will expand the story in ways that people want

• "Will there be cutscenes in dlc", Hugo's response, " It'll be different, but there will still be a story"
  • We have a dlc concept art

[harsh egret]

here we go

[frail bloom]

NOOOOOOO

[harsh egret]

[frail bloom]

Maybe it's gonna be like 2016

Where it's all first person

[harsh egret]

doubt it

[frail bloom]

Just guessing

[harsh egret]

yeye

[warm ibex]

telltale style choose your own dialogue cutscene where every option is blank

[frail bloom]

It's vague yet weird to point out

Cuz obv the question was satire

And he completely subverted what I thought he was gonna say

[solar cairn]

I don’t understand why cutscenes should be remade, as if no one complained

[next thistle]

Just turned on stream, did they mention timeframe?

[frail bloom]

Nope

[warm ibex]

what?

[frail bloom]

It's out when it's out

[harsh egret]

i dont think its as deep as people make it out to be

[frail bloom]

Also who said that

[solar cairn]

These were my thoughts out loud

[frail bloom]

Hugo is dropping a lot of bombs today

Ngl

He's gonna get demoted lol

What was he even promoted to does anyone know

[harsh egret]

game director?

[solar cairn]

Well, it seemed to me that they made separate cutscenes for greater cinematography, now Hugo says that in addition they will be different, strange..

[harsh egret]

i think its not that deep

[frail bloom]

That's not remaking lol

That's having a different way to tell story

[warm ibex]

what does that have to do with remaking cutscenes?

[frail bloom]

What it is we don't know

[harsh egret]

u just gotta wait and see :d

[frail bloom]

Yurp

Hey also FM got awards???

Did I hear that right

[warm ibex]

yeah not too long ago

[frail bloom]

Pls win

[solar cairn]

Well, I called it so simple, in fact we are waiting

[frail bloom]

Pleeaaase win

[harsh egret]

they r also in consideration to be nominated for a grammy award

[frail bloom]

Pleeeeease

Dark ages suite

[warm ibex]

I think you might have misunderstood what hugo said bro

[harsh egret]

expedition 33 is too, for the same award

[frail bloom]

Blah

[solar cairn]

Maybe..

[frail bloom]

Doom sweeps

[uneven dragon]

oh we cooked

[frail bloom]

Nah have faith

Trust

[harsh egret]

nah i think they will win a diff award that they r considered for maybe, but doom should win the one they are both nominated for

[warm ibex]

the DLC cutscenes and storytelling will be a bit different from what was featured in the campaign, that's all that was said. No remakes man don't worry

[frail bloom]

Ye it's not remakes

[half marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/dutch-van-der-linde-red-dead-redemption-gif-22961531

[uneven dragon]

my single hope is that hugo wont listen to jacksepticeye's criticisms of doomguy in tda

[harsh egret]

but thats not before like feb 2026

[frail bloom]

I think like Hugo said, they are advancing the story in ways ppl want, maybe the way the cutscenes are shot and what they contain is gonna be different

[harsh egret]

when the grammy awards r iirc

[frail bloom]

It's smt to do with that

[frail bloom]

No I don't think he will

I don't think Hugo watched it all

[half marlin]

i hope he only listens to horde mode, allstin and others lol

[harsh egret]

i wonder what Mark thinks of the game lol, if he played it

[frail bloom]

And if he did, think of it this way, everyone else disagreed with him

[frail bloom]

I have a deep feeling that Mark doesn't like it to the point where he doesn't even wanna try it

[solar cairn]

And what didn’t he like?

[solid nacelle]

I was pretty bummed to find out that markiplier never did any dark ages videos

[harsh egret]

kinda jumping to assumptions lol

[uneven dragon]

why

[frail bloom]

He already didn't jive with eternal's story

And now doom is medieval, and more story

Maybe it alienated him

[uneven dragon]

i think mark kinda stopped posting doom after the response he got to his eternal gameplays

[frail bloom]

Again this doesn't mean I think he's wrong

I'm just saying maybe it's not his thing

[harsh egret]

i think he mentioned once that he played it off stream or smth

[frail bloom]

Well you gotta find a source

[uneven dragon]

jack criticised how they were focusing on the human aspect of doomguy which... wtf man thats literally the entire point

[harsh egret]

my source is a reddit comment i read a while ago that he said that in a members only stream

[frail bloom]

And everyone dissed him for it

[frail bloom]

Wow so convincing

[solid nacelle]

How dare they focus on the human aspect of a human character lol

[uneven dragon]

tbf its probs true

[harsh egret]

sounds plausable and tbh i dont see a reason to lie about that specifically lol

[warm ibex]

same here. Mark is the reason I got into both Doom and content creation

[frail bloom]

If he did I'm glad for him

He doesn't need to make videos tho

Did he like it how did it go for him

Or does the comment not clarify

[wintry forge]

Markiplier got me into Brutal Doom back in the day. I liked mods but never cared to try Brutal Doom until his old 2012 video

[solar cairn]

I didn’t really understand where exactly they focused, like he shows more emotions than he should?

[uneven dragon]

he said it during the siege 1 intro

[harsh egret]

i dont think he talked about it much, the comment also said smth about that he wants people to stop asking him about making vids on it lol

[uneven dragon]

which is fucking mental btw given that's like the hypest doomguy has ever been

[uneven dragon]

hes making a movie and also seems to not really gaf abt his fans asking him stuff lately so i wouldnt be surprised

[harsh egret]

yup

[uneven dragon]

i know he didnt play the ancient gods

[harsh egret]

i can perfectly see it from his perspective lol

[frail bloom]

Ye he's too busy to make vids on it he's making movies

He's in the big leagues

[frail bloom]

Huur duuur how dare doomguy nod his head duurrr

Isn't andrew hulshult composing on the movie too

The stars have aligned

[warm ibex]

Does he know that Horde Mode Gaming wants him to make videos on it? I'm sure he'd instantly play through the entire game if he was aware, I'm very important.

[frail bloom]

Well Horde we have to take other ppl into consideration

So nuh uh

[warm ibex]

No no no, other people have to take me into consideration

[frail bloom]

🐴

Horse mode gaming

[harsh egret]

horse mode gaming

[warm ibex]

horse mode gaming

[frail bloom]

I hope he liked it

Does anyone know when the movie releases

[warm ibex]

nah but I'm looking forward to it

[frail bloom]

Ye

[uneven dragon]

whenever he works out a cinema deal i think

[warm ibex]

[frail bloom]

Did you make that gif

I know I can't find it here

Too niche

[warm ibex]

no someone sent that to me a few years ago lol

[harsh egret]

yipie

[frail bloom]

LOL

Wait till dlc to do that

Sorry Hato

[harsh egret]

didnt expect any earlier tho ngl

[warm ibex]

rare HATO loss

[frail bloom]

Common Hato L

[harsh egret]

[frail bloom]

[warm ibex]

do NOT disrespect our residential goat

[frail bloom]

🐴

[solid nacelle]

If they randomize revenant projectiles I wonder if they'd do it for any other demons like armored manc for example

[harsh egret]

should do

[frail bloom]

All I hear is Brays and Neighs

Hey that was a good lore question

Hugo's too laser focused

[warm ibex]

hugo is too locked in for lore

[frail bloom]

Neigh neigh neigh

Horde I can't understand that

Speak up🏇

[warm ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/rofls-horse-mammoth-gif-8054793687520288380

[solar cairn]

I beg you no, I can barely pass the enhanced versions of these demons anyway

If there is a randomizer, I’ll have to go through one arena for weeks

[harsh egret]

skill issue

[uneven dragon]

pain elemental for dlc pls

[frail bloom]

I agree good sir

Now, cosmic, or classic?

[uneven dragon]

doom 64

[warm ibex]

Doom 64

[uneven dragon]

my guy

[frail bloom]

The people have spoken

[warm ibex]

the people being Horde Mode Gaming, who is very important. So now they have to do it.

[solar cairn]

The point is to memorize the arena, demon attacks and where they will spawn, the randomizer will break the balance too much

Horse is this you

Talkin to Hugo

[warm ibex]

yea that's me

[tranquil bluff]

classic weapon position would be cool

idk if it would look to awkward with the melee

[harsh egret]

i think there was a mod for that

[frail bloom]

Guys they won

#general message

🍷

[tame hollow]

Yipe

[tranquil bluff]

also a feature to turn off the melee charges in the middle of the screen without turning off the full hud, I like to play without a crosshair and it kinda defeats the purpose

[warm ibex]

Murican Eagle has a video on that, it looks good!

done via console commands I believe

[harsh egret]

what award is that for

[frail bloom]

Ost

[harsh egret]

no i mean what award show

[frail bloom]

I don't know bruh

[harsh egret]

"nyx game awards"

never heard of that in my life but ill take it i guess lol

[frail bloom]

They won smt

[warm ibex]

win is a win

[harsh egret]

damn right

[solid nacelle]

Wow hugo just used the bfc on the triple cyberdemons instead of fighting them regular

[frail bloom]

Wut

That defeats the whole purpose man

[warm ibex]

kinda funny lol

[frail bloom]

Mint

[harsh egret]

without context thats random lol

just randomly going "mint"

[frail bloom]

Mint.

[harsh egret]

tic tac freshmints

maybe next week new concept art for dlc apparently

[frail bloom]

Eh like he said they got ways to go

Maybe yes maybe no

We had a ton of stuff dropped today already

[harsh egret]

well he did start with "maybe next week"

[frail bloom]

I'm surprised he said allat

To begin with

[warm ibex]

"maybe next week, maybe the week after"

so soon, I'd imagine

[solid nacelle]

If they reveal anything else like concept art I think they should save it for the final level

[frail bloom]

Ye I can see that if they decide to do go with it

[harsh egret]

yep whenever that happens ill be hyped

[frail bloom]

But for now like he said a lot

A hub?? Never expected that

I knew story wise the slayer is using the kreed ship as a hub

But like it's awesome
