[frail bloom]

No clue

Might aswell write it off

[green estuary]

[frail bloom]

If it happens I'l tell y'all

But hey infighting rune

Awesome idea

[silent surge]

I figured out why i get 2 respawn when im supposed to have one

Pressing F to input a new code while my selector is on the respawn count, advances the menu because my right move key is F

[cerulean pagoda]

hi

[frail bloom]

It took me like 2 hrs to get to siege

Haven't started it yet

[silent surge]

is your tracking accurate or impacted by bug

[earnest mulch]

Hi, I like the song Hellspawn Rift

[obsidian shard]

Real

Pursuit of Demons and Hellspawn Rift are Extremely Underrated imo

[earnest mulch]

Thank you, yes that it is my other favorite

[cerulean pagoda]

hellspawn rift is demonically underrated

[obsidian shard]

Been listening to the Standard OST and The "game rips" a lot recently, and they are soo good

[cerulean pagoda]

i really like the classic doom upbeat metal vibes in there

[fervent maple]

100% agree with this

[cerulean pagoda]

i love the ost in general

ive been vibing to it for days

[earnest mulch]

Just like with 2016 and Eternal, can’t stop bumping TDA during workouts

[hearty edge]

I personally just stick with eternal cuz it's still my favorite ost oat but TDA is great too

[earnest mulch]

What happened to the “mission complete” music for TDA? Are there any official comments on its absence? The previous two entries had great songs, 2016 being the E1M1 motif and Eternal sounded like you finished a high octane arcade game

[twilit stone]

a lot of minor little things keep being removed from tda in every update i swear

[fervent maple]

Fun fact, the Eternal one is from 2016 MP; it's got elements of VEGA Core in it! Great asset reuse that really fit with the game

[hearty edge]

i honestly never thought of that

i forgor about doom eternal's but 2016's was great

[earnest mulch]

Oh shoot I didn’t realize that, I only played the 2016 multiplayer when there was that early pre release death match

[fervent maple]

It's a lot of fun, though I didn't like it at all when I was younger. I played the beta and thought it was a "dumb Halo clone" or something. I'd be a really different person today if I didn't give the SP a chance after all

[cerulean pagoda]

i have noticed that yea

[earnest mulch]

I wish I dove into it during its prime. Life was too busy for me and I stuck with the single player

[cerulean pagoda]

when the shadows first lengthened would be a good addition for the mission complete music

or something else idk

[fervent maple]

My vote is for Unchained Predator or Battle on the Blackened Tide

[fervent maple]

Me too, wish I had given it more of a chance when it was bigger

[cerulean pagoda]

something arcadey would be cool, like hellspawn rift or pursuit of demons they sound like upbeat arcadey metal

[earnest mulch]

I imagine something subtle/ambient would work well. A rest between the battles. It could even be a reworked version of an existing song

Get some war drums or throat singing going

[cerulean pagoda]

or you knwo what, in the prince azhrak battle(2nd phase) when he kills you theres some ambient sound when the death screen appears, maybe that could sound something ambient or a rest between battles?

[earnest mulch]

There we go

[warm ibex]

also hey

these early TDA concepts? made all the way back in 2018

don't know if anyone pointed that out

[earnest mulch]

That’s awesome, just saw those

[warm ibex]

"During DOOM Eternal's production, LONG before we established solid tangible elements for Dark Ages such as story and art direction, we were given the wonderful 'what could be in the next game' assignment. For a couple weeks we had the opportunity to explore really any direction for what could be next. The idea of a prequel game in the DOOM universe was already out there but I really wanted to take some wide swings on exploring that else could be out there in this exciting would we've been crafting.

This was such a fun time in development while also not adhering to a cohesive idea or art direction, really just pure exploration for each artist involved. While this is true for the work we bring to the proper development phase, I always enjoy a little world building for world building ideas that might be something we don't see as the player. Similar to me exploring ideas and concepts in existing game franchises when I was younger, fun ideas, but may not work with the direction of the project as these did not match the tone and direction we went with."

From Colin Geller's ArtStation post

[hearty edge]

doom the light ages

[warm ibex]

lol

[hearty edge]

dude bt that would be such a cool thing to see in a future installment

like sentinel prime's able to recover to its fullest after finishing the war with hell and hunting down the high council

before the sentinel war and everything going to shi ofc

[warm ibex]

I was talking about that with @upper star earlier

definitely think it would be cool to have an era of false recovery post-TDA where the Sentinels think they're "winning" the war against Hell, when in reality the Kahn's deal was the only thing truly holding them back from another full scale invasion

[upper star]

🥴

[umbral flint]

How much dlc will the game have?

[unkempt dragon]

TDA is on sale for $35usd rn for those who want it still

[mystic barn]

I feel like there is an intermission stem that unfortunately went unused. It’s a much slower, more thrashy version of From the Ashes

[obsidian shard]

WHY DO THE 2 OF YOU CONSISTANTLY COOOK

[fleet spruce]

Such cool tracks actually!

[fleet spruce]

They said it will have one BIG dlc

[green estuary]

And I’m praying for a master level campaign as well

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

[obsidian shard]

That's (Basically but not) Confirmed

[arctic pagoda]

The lore

[delicate stirrup]

IIRC TDA is the first Doom not to feature the UAC.

[gusty seal]

working on a Chad Mode and im back https://youtu.be/JDW3f2KR2MY?si=-FY_w_uo3Kka8d39 500% Player Damage

[strong moth]

Hellspawn Rift is a favorite of mine for sure

[karmic quest]

Ribbon tear

[warm ibex]

I'm considering it

although I could wait until I get an RTX gpu, might be cheaper by then

[warm ibex]

oh hey you tried my encounter, hell yeah

[spark elm]

This game is finally half off on steam!!

Promo ends next Tuesday

[hazy pasture]

Sounds pretty interesting and plausible considering the Sentinels were invading Hell and pushing the horde back prior to the invasion in Nekravol, basically before the Civil War

So it would be really cool if we get to see them advancing their tech and all whilst Hell makes it's plans with the Maykrs and stuff and then Nekravol expedition and Civil War occurs

[spark elm]

I like how you can go to the jukebox to just jam from there.

like before setting a Ripatorium arena.

[hazy pasture]

Yuh

[spark elm]

So many jams on the soundtrack.

[spark elm]

I got the premium upgrade which is $17.49 right now. The art… it’s all so cool!

[surreal mango]

Bro

Check DMs

[delicate stirrup]

I like how the weapons are categorized by the type of ammo they use. Hope to see that concept be used in future games.

[frail bloom]

No bugs that I know of

[obsidian shard]

The father says in TAG 1, That "He will be brought back to his full facilities" But that could just mean 'he's a human' but it's up to interpretation

[potent iron]

Can weapon masteries be accomplished in the ripatorium or do I have to enter the main game to finish those

[hazy pasture]

Full facilities could mean he's back in his flesh and blood

And in full control over Hell

[obsidian shard]

Precisely my point, it's just very vague

[hazy pasture]

Yuh

But def not in his prime

Also Sneaky did ya check Geller's Blue Sky stuff?

[meager vortex]

commander valen

his new image drop by x

he is traitor image show up

[obsidian shard]

Sure did, absolutely Incredible stuff to say the least!

TDA DLC will be named "the Mobile Spear Armor Ages" but I just can't prove it yet

[harsh egret]

I get this feeling we're entering the teasers on socials phase again but for the dlc

[obsidian shard]

Same, I'm excited to see anything tbf

[harsh egret]

Its also nr 11 on top sellers on steam and growing

And 92% positive reviews

Recent reviews that is

[obsidian shard]

Hell yeah

[harsh egret]

Pretty damn good man

[obsidian shard]

And general Positivity has gone up from what I've seen

[harsh egret]

Goes to show they made tons of improvements and people are more happy and thats great

Yup

[obsidian shard]

Yup

[harsh egret]

Not that I should care but I hope some streamers play through the game again before dlc, im curious to see what they would think of the game again

[obsidian shard]

Same, considering how much was changed, added and improved!

[meager vortex]

marok is key

[hazy pasture]

That frown on his face... Interesting

[hazy pasture]

Petition to actually make this the DLC name

[slender night]

A little long and doesn't roll off the tongue imo. Sorry Sneaky

[warm ibex]

when the archvile concept art teaser drops on a random thursday afternoon in january

[obsidian shard]

Darn

[hazy pasture]

So real

[harsh egret]

that would be something

[warm ibex]

that would be... Interesting....

lol

[fleet spruce]

wonder if they'll casually drop an "DLC comes out today" trailer again

[harsh egret]

no shot

[frosty roost]

wait how do y'all post images in here? i can't do that

also hellooo

[harsh egret]

yello

i just copy paste the media link

[frosty roost]

ahhhh

[warm ibex]

as much as we all swear up and down they wouldn't do this, that's not entirely out of line for modern marketing trends

I mean they won't do this, but I reckon the trailer will drop about three months prior to release

(judging by indiana jones' marketing)

[flat elm]

We need more Doom 3 demons in TDA DLC, see once again maggots and cherubs would be awesome.

[warm ibex]

I really like what they did with the vagary, so I'm open to more D3 demons for sure

[slender night]

I've been saying this forever. This game NEEDS the Maledict

Maybe as a super heavy

[flat elm]

But he died in ROE

[slender night]

The Icon of Sin also died and came back

[warm ibex]

the old one died and hell still brough him back 🤔

[harsh egret]

guardian of hell

[slender night]

It doesn't need to be straight up THE Maledict, just a Maledictlike creature

[warm ibex]

hell yeah

[flat elm]

Ahzrak ressurected him

[harsh egret]

him as a super heavy with maybe armored variants and all that would be sick

[slender night]

Bring back Ahzrak then #ILoveCheapSlopPlots

[flat elm]

I wonder if the Cosmic Realm, after resurrecting the Old One, is completely under the control of Hell, especially since we've seen more of these creatures in the game.
And Colin's Cosmic Realm design document also meantioned the Old One in the plural.

[green estuary]

well it's on sale for half off
that's about the best you're gonna get it for unless you go to some steam key websites

[weak beacon]

Does tda have like cosmetic bundles you can buy?

[red peak]

Does anyone else get hurt even when they parry an attack?

Or am I just missing the parry?

[green estuary]

I believe there's a very small timeframe around the set parry window where you technically missed the parry, but the enemy still takes the effects as if the parry actually happened

so to answer your question, yes, you probably did miss the parry

[red peak]

Oh ok, cool

I hit that window alot lol probably cause of my bad reaction time

[slender night]

No, each skin has to be acquired individually and none of them are currently available from official digital storefronts (aside from the Divinity skin pack as part of Premium)

[white kayak]

Fanatical has it 56% off.

[green estuary]

Yeah, like I said, unless you go to a steam key seller

[white kayak]

No, Fanatical is green site.

Just like GMG.

[green estuary]

The site is selling steam keys.

[white kayak]

Yes but not a grey one.

[green estuary]

So, like I said, 50% off is the best you’re gonna get unless you go to a steam key site

[white kayak]

Which would ussually refer to grey or possible shady sites.

[green estuary]

that is your interpretation, not my words

[slender night]

Steam key site
After careful consideration I think this refers to websites that sell Steam keys.

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-willem-dafoe-duh-duhh-obviously-gif-16794513

[white kayak]

Obviously, but most people think of shady sites when speaking of key sites. Some people don't even know about Fanat or GMG.

And sometimes they can have different prices or actions. Always helps to check some other sites. Or ofc just use Dekudeals.

Or try the other sites*.
*At own risk and all that.

[wintry forge]

The latest posts on Doom’s instagram makes me wonder if we’re getting a new character model viewer for the DLC…

[delicate remnant]

Hey guys quick question I'm gonna try a pandemonium run for the skin.
But I like playing at max speed.
Does it lock the achievement if I mess with that slider ?

[harsh egret]

maybe but i kinda doubt it, they are just posting the stuff that character artists posted on artstation a little while ago

[harsh egret]

no, u can mess with any sliders it wont matter, same with UN

[delicate remnant]

Oh I see.
Good, game is pretty slow at base speed.

Thanks

[wintry forge]

Correct, but I don’t recall seeing this exact posing in Artstation. I could be wrong, but it would still be interesting to see for the dlc

[harsh egret]

both the king novik one and the valen one are on artstation

but yeah i wouldnt say no to that

they already have the slayer so its not impossible

[wintry forge]

Ah, gotcha, thanks!

[frail bloom]

I'd kill for another music tease

I need some of that fm

[fleet spruce]

real, excited to hear more from them

[green estuary]

didn't think I'd ever be excited for doom music by someone not named mick gordon, but here we are

(obviously andrew and david killed it for the DLC, but I didn't really have a chance to get excited for them because they were in and out pretty fast)

[wintry forge]

I can’t wait to hear more cosmic realm tracks, assuming we are in fact going back (according to the teases)

[gusty seal]

I would like to know more about the cosmic realms relation to the greater universe as a whole. They keep expanding. Maybe they should dig. Either way, as long as I get to blow stuff up, we cool 😄 me and Doomguy

[wintry forge]

They will. There wasn’t much lore exploration of that place other than more minute details, but that was just the introduction to its existence in the doom universe as a whole

[ebon lynx]

was there a music tease somewhere??

[wintry forge]

Nah, I wish! Soon hopefully

[ebon lynx]

ooh gotcha

[gusty seal]

The only teaser was the teaser that there was no teaser

[wintry forge]

What a tease, you teased me

[gusty seal]

Rehehe - Scooby

Story and gameplay
New narrative: The DLC will continue the Slayer's story by having him hunt down the six arch-demons of Hell's High Council.
New characters: The character Merrick will play a central role in the narrative, and the Slayer and Merrick may have a complex relationship.
New mechanics: Gameplay will expand on the base game's mechanics, with a new tool for enhanced mobility, and new weapons like a possible battle axe.
New enemies: The DLC will introduce new demons, some of which might be similar to a "Marauder 2.0"

i just glanced at it, but check the read me for the group first.

[sterile hamlet]

6 new presets are in the Ripatorium if any of y'all have interest in trying them. 3 are made by y'all from the #1440705736975061053 channel and 3 are made by myself- most the ones I've seen have been long 5 wave encounters so I wanted to give some examples of very short but challenging time trial focused ones to inspire y'all a bit 😉

[gusty seal]

time to chad then

[supple oracle]

I will create few encounters

They gonna be very very interesting LOL

[gusty seal]

what am i looking for i got it splt screen going, i see zeexy spectral horde samir

or in game you mean ?

[harsh egret]

nicee

[gusty seal]

scooby is jealous and wants in on the fun! help me find them please 😄

[frail bloom]

Sorry to ask, do you play all of them? How do you go abt selecting them I'm curious

[supple oracle]

New modded master level, might coming too, learning how to encounters work rn, village of saleem master level LOL

[frail bloom]

Bc some of them are very hard

[harsh egret]

they're in game

[gusty seal]

thank you very much fellow slayer

[frail bloom]

Currently?

[harsh egret]

yh

[frail bloom]

That was quick

I expected late december they'd have them in

[harsh egret]

its a tuneable, they can just add them and rotate them whenev

[frail bloom]

Awesome

We better spam encounters

Imma try to beat them then

[obsidian shard]

Hell yeah!!!

[mystic barn]

Any restrictions on your presets, i.e. no BFC?

[obsidian shard]

Which ones are in game by chance, if anyone knows?

[gusty seal]

No Blasted Fun Cannon ?

[mystic barn]

Escalation of Pain, Arachnophobia, Melee Fury

[obsidian shard]

Ooooh, hell yeah, I'll have to play Melee Fury When I get home

[mystic barn]

Kroniid's preset Blitz is cruel. That Vagary GK animation nearly fucked me

[gusty seal]

so no memes here at all?

[wintry forge]

Haven’t played Melee Fury yet, sounds interesting

[sterile hamlet]

With all the presets I've made, from the original 3 to the 3 I just made, I've always made sure I can complete them with a decent amount of time remaining with no BFC so that it's never required, but some people may need the BFC 😅 I made them pretty challenging

[gusty seal]

just opened up the game, I see em all

[mystic barn]

Perfect. I gave your three presets a good whack. Had to BFC on R3 of Meteors N Bullets, but managed to scrape on by the skin of my teeth with the other two. Phenomenal work!

[frail bloom]

Ok I had like 2 sec left on blitz

That was close

[harsh egret]

im gonna have to try them a bit later

from the ones in game rn only played horde's

[frail bloom]

Ok did mancageddon

Bullets and Meteors left

[red peak]

So do the presets chosen by Id stay or do they refresh after a bit?

[sterile hamlet]

There will be some new ones replacing the 6 that were just added at some point- we haven't decided on a cadence yet though so I cannot comment on when.

[slender night]

The first ones that Ripatorium 2.0 launched with will stay though, right? Medium, Challenging, and Sadistic

[red peak]

Oh ok, thats cool

[red peak]

I think so, yeah

[sterile hamlet]

Next one will probably be all 6 by the community instead of 3 by the community and 3 by me- I just wanted to get some shorter ones in there so there was variety and couldn't find any this time around since the update has not been out very long.

[red peak]

Or at least im assuming it will since theyre difficulties

[red peak]

Thats fine lol

[harsh egret]

gotta make some more unique and perhaps shorter ones too then noted

[frail bloom]

Ok did meteors and bullets

I don't think shorter matters

It's just for now

[harsh egret]

for variety reasons it probably does, and thats understandable

[frail bloom]

Well I guess the longer the round there's a chance it repeats some stuff

[harsh egret]

from a devs perspective it doesnt rly make sense to add 6 presets with 5 long waves

[frail bloom]

Naw I get that

But those are also good presets

Just saying

[harsh egret]

yh ofc

[frail bloom]

You played gladiator pit I see

[harsh egret]

yep

was good, not exactly hard but fun

[frail bloom]

That was the intention!

I played it with my combat shotgun set to the explosive perk

Where it blows up demons you kill

Feels amazing

Especially with the new ragdolls

[solid nacelle]

Looks like I'm going to have to make the Bajookie Blitz then

[unkempt dragon]

Hi guys

[frail bloom]

Ok I did all the official presets

For sadistic just use the accelerator on the vagary

It makes short work of them

[magic spoke]

do u have the RoF mod or the accuracy mod

[frail bloom]

Accuracy mod?

Hold on

What do you mean

[magic spoke]

the accelerator has a mod that tightens its spread

when it reaches charge

[frail bloom]

No

I had modulator on

So the rate of fire increases

Which is better for the vagary, bc it's wide

[gusty seal]

just did Blitz on 75% demon damage 500% player damage with just one bullet. @sterile hamlet

[frail bloom]

That must've took awhile

[gusty seal]

nah just took out my BFG used a shield melee picks, no rune parry . just throw and swing.

[frail bloom]

Oh you used the bfc

[gusty seal]

now i got back to those settings and do it without that weapon

[frail bloom]

Alr

[gusty seal]

75% damage hurts with 1 minute of time but its do able, had one second left and 4 soliders. im like ugh reallly :[ litterally a shield throw away from victory

[frail bloom]

Now uh idk if you can do the same settings on the sadistic preset

Without bfc

[gusty seal]

I have chad mode on (double jump and air control, 2x game speed, 1.5x sprint speed, weapon switch ) 4/5 resources and all else maxed out

[frail bloom]

Bruh you're cheating

I want those

[gusty seal]

No, Im having fun 😄

[frail bloom]

Alr you ain't cheating

But those do help you

Immensely

[green estuary]

chad mode easy mode

[gusty seal]

on 500% the acolytes rain litterly kills one hit almost everytime while fighting a larger enemy, and I take em off for base game. the ripatorium can get pretty crowded so i leave em on for that. and yeah it makes it doable but fun and you do get challenged. either way id prod do 250% 100% and min resources or 2/5

[frail bloom]

I guess you did balance it out with the damage sliders

[gusty seal]

no chad mode means fun mdoe with a twist of challenge lol @green estuary

[frail bloom]

But air control is busted

[gusty seal]

is katsu a korean bbq dish? I love those 😁

[harsh egret]

[gusty seal]

Hat O like Jell' O 😄

lets all Jell

[gusty seal]

also its only me, but I want to make the game even faster than it is, and more hectic. new combos from the air. I think it adds things we never got in a way is all. I miss that speed we had in eternal, that Jump and Shoot, These setting bring back the fly to stand and fight lol. fly to a spot, and then fight haha

[frail bloom]

You can quite literally infinitely ground falter with your settings

[gusty seal]

amazing isnt it ? lol

[frail bloom]

And clear fodder instantly

[gusty seal]

feels just like a sticky bomb paired with a grenade and flame thrower. especially if you shield saw a heated shield right before you land. get that armor and health

I call it. Doom: The Eternal Dark Ages lol

Howdy, how ya'll doing?

[fervent maple]

Doin good :)

[fading osprey]

I’m doing delicious

[obsidian shard]

Glad to hear, you guys are doing good!!

[full jetty]

I guess I am waiting for 2026 for DOOM: The Dark Ages DLC. I hope we get DLC's in 2027 as well. I was very upset when DOOM: Eternal's DLC's ended with The Ancient Gods Part 2.

[obsidian shard]

TDA will only have 1 DLC

but its big

[frosty roost]

so hyped for the new dlc

[fading osprey]

when tf will TDA be on switch🥀

[frosty roost]

also jay i saw your tweet, you might be onto something

[obsidian shard]

Tyty

[fading osprey]

I don’t use twitter, so what was he on?

[full jetty]

Well if DOOM: The Dark Ages if id Software plans to only release one DLC for its entire life time. I should sacrifice my bank account and keep purchasing copies of DOOM: TDA for more DLC's.

[strong moth]

I personally don’t miss the Eternal gameplay loop much. I mean it’s there if I want to go back and play it, which I’ve done since TDA came out, but I love the weighty impact of TDA and am super glad it’s got its own strong gameplay identity

[obsidian shard]

Every (Modern) DOOM Game is different and i Love them all for it!

[manic arch]

Eternal was on the right track with weapon mods

I like what TDA did but not nearly as much as Eternal

I especially love the shotgun’s grenade launcher

But giving the shotgun the fire effect was pretty cool

I think in my perfect world the shotgun would have kept its more explosive qualities while the turret rune would get an upgrade for something like flame shots

Or just give us a flamethrower weapon, that’d be fuckn awesome

[obsidian shard]

The TDA DLC will be one Big DLC

[harsh egret]

and im pretty sure its better for them to move on to whatever's next instead of sitting for 2 years making dlcs

[manic arch]

Yeah, while dlcs are cool I really want them to work on new installments

Especially if that new installment is a remaster of Hexen and Heretic 2

[harsh egret]

that would not be id software remastering that

[manic arch]

It’d be Nightdive I know

I meant remake not remaster

I think it’d be real funny to get Chex Quest it the current Doom engine

[grim cloud]

kex chex quest

[grim cloud]

how many levels if you had to guess? im betting on at least 6

but i wish for 12 because im greedy

[half crystal]

I think I'll buy Doom: The Dark Ages next week because the game is very expensive and I'll have to buy it on sale...

[harsh egret]

its on its biggest sale rn

[half crystal]

The worst thing about living in Brazil is that everything priced in dollars is ridiculously expensive.

[half crystal]

yep

[frail bloom]

Bruh

#artwork message

The peak, it burns my eyes

[delicate grotto]

Depends on the level sizes. If they’re about the same size as the base campaign’s I’d say around 8 levels.

[grim cloud]

i do know that level building is much easier/faster with TDA. likely thanks to ray tracing. so there is that.

[frail bloom]

Console guy here

I play whatever's given to me

[gusty seal]

the console is very popular for dark ages. how does modding work with that? or does it not? I ran emulators before on my PC

[frail bloom]

You can't mod anything

[soft oracle]

I needed this laugh

[green estuary]

Yeah you gotta play the game as intended

[frail bloom]

Shocker

[gusty seal]

Once and a while you gotta just rip and tear in rad ways

[frail bloom]

It looks interesting

[gusty seal]

when DLC comes its back to normal settings no mods

I hate this bug where my melee doesn't work

It gets me killed

[violet zealot]

I think my 𝚖𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚎 works a little too good

hey, did anybody try to get everything golden 𝚒𝚗 𝚍𝚘𝚘𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚍𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚜 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 every single gun, but golden and the doom slayer skin 𝚐𝚘𝙻𝚍... because that’s what I’m doing

[elder raven]

gold weapons are easy to get this time around

gold slayer depends if you abuse the sliders

[strong moth]

I just posted my first attempt at a good Ripatorium setup on the Ripatorium page and would love to get feedback. It feels really good to me but I’m also not nearly as skilled as some of you “max sliders” types haha. Missionaries of Lomarith is the name

[frail bloom]

Alr gimme a moment I gotta finish abyssal forest then I'l try this one out

[green estuary]

tbf most of them were easy to get in eternal as well
you just had to play tag 2
which, admittedly, was quite hard to sit through
actually, fair point

[strong moth]

Thanks man! I like going for a “theme” here if you can’t tell by the post

[frail bloom]

Oh I love any ripatorium set with a theme

[proven imp]

How is ripatorium 2.0?

Worth it to pick up Dark Ages now that it's on sale?

[frail bloom]

Yuh

[harsh egret]

its a steal

[proven imp]

Ok. I'm gonna read up on ripatorium 2.0.

[red peak]

Really good, but just buy it for the ripatorium lol theres also the campaign

[proven imp]

Need a good fps to get into. Taking a bit of a break from cod.

[strong moth]

I loved it before the update when I paid for the collectors edition and put in 120hr before the Ripatorium 1.0 happened haha

[proven imp]

Well I usually look for more content than the usually 8-10hr campaign

[strong moth]

This game’s campaign is about 20hr on a first playthrough I’d say

[proven imp]

Ah ok. Decent amount of stuff. Gotcha. Thanks

[harsh egret]

its a 18-20 hr campaign on average i'd say

yh

[proven imp]

Cool

[frail bloom]

Took me like 8 sec to kill the champion dude

These guys used to take a while

[harsh egret]

93% positive on recent reviews on steam

[frail bloom]

It was like 90 a few months back

Or high 80's

[harsh egret]

its been going towards 88 for the past couple of months

[frail bloom]

Imma try this now

[harsh egret]

after the sale started it went straight to 93% in like one day

[strong moth]

WOOOOO

[green estuary]

actually left my first steam review for this game

[frail bloom]

Huh interesting

[harsh egret]

like you should

[frail bloom]

Wait till the dlc comes out then it'll even be higher

[harsh egret]

inb4 the dlc is ass

[green estuary]

[gusty seal]

dogs have 4 legs sir, its a canine thing. you wouldnt understand 😄

[obsidian shard]

Time to play "Mancageddon" and see how it fairs against Mancubus Mayhem!

[crisp zinc]

why do they give the un skin to you even if you use modifiers to turn yourself into god

like you can turn enemy damage to 0.1 and make yourself basically invincible, and still beat the game on UN and get the golden skin

[obsidian shard]

Because some people specific settings (Faster Game Speed or make the game harder)

[green estuary]

because it is a single player game, and the only person you are cheating by cheesing UN is yourself

[crisp zinc]

fair

[reef zodiac]

Hi, does anyone know if the Dark Ages will be getting a Nintendo Switch 2 release in the future?

[crisp zinc]

fyi if you wanna turn enemy damage to minimal, damage to max and etc you can beat un for free

[frail bloom]

Bummer

But honestly I haven't seen anyone actually do that

[crisp zinc]

they haven’t said whether or not they would do that yet

[reef zodiac]

Got it, thanks for confirming!

[frail bloom]

Mostly cuz no one cares

[crisp zinc]

yh

i wish mick gordon still worked for doom

Bethesda just had to ruin it though

[obsidian shard]

Finishing Move did very good!

[frail bloom]

Yes they did.

Very very good

Exceptional

Extraordinary

Peak

[obsidian shard]

Also Mancaggedon is clearly a Rip off of Mancubus Mayhem

[frail bloom]

And dare I say, it compares to mick😱

[obsidian shard]

it do

[crisp zinc]

nah i mean the TDA music is good

especially unchained predator

i just wish mick still worked for doom

Lots of things are whats up

[crisp zinc]

you know how minecraft is famous for its minecraft music

[frail bloom]

Yessir

[crisp zinc]

it’s like what everyone loves

[frail bloom]

Yessir

[crisp zinc]

mick gordon is essentially the c418 equivalent but for doom

[frail bloom]

Ye he is

[crisp zinc]

both of them are absolutely awesome music artists that people absolutely loved

and yet both of them tried to have their shit stolen by greedy corporations

[frail bloom]

He has a beard now

[crisp zinc]

yeah

it’s like big companies love pissing off the music artists who people literally know the game because of them

[gusty seal]

@frail bloom imma do it with nightmare damage but max sliders everywhere else. its that or up the combat assistance parry for 500% damage, cus im missing the hell surges just by a hair

[strong moth]

I truly think that I prefer the FM soundtrack after hundreds of hours of both. It’s more guitar- and riff-driven style is the type of music I listen to. I still LOVE Mick’s music but I’m glad things have shaded to a point where it’s not as though liking one or the other is mutually exclusive

[frail bloom]

Oh man you're still on it😭

I feel bad

[frail bloom]

I just listened to micks stuff too much

[obsidian shard]

The First round of Mancageddon is like an easier version of the Final round of Mancubus Mayhem

[gusty seal]

rip and tear, until it is done....

[frail bloom]

Trust me Jay between us manc mayhem is the peaker

Trust

101%

[crisp zinc]

rip and tear

[obsidian shard]

I'm really liking Mancegeddon tho...

its like a mini version of Mancubus Mayhem

[frail bloom]

I never said it was bad did I?

I just said one was peaker

Also it's my opinion nothing factual

[crisp zinc]

they are rage

brutal

without mercy

But you

you will be worse

rip and tear until it is done

[frail bloom]

What's so interesting

[gusty seal]

i have a better idea... 500% damage min resources but 3/5 parry. 100% demon max all else out !

[obsidian shard]

You will understand one day

[gusty seal]

too many thigns flying around hahha

[frail bloom]

I see I see

[gusty seal]

could try 75% if its too easy

but im missing parrys so imma fix that for now this challenge got alot of stuff going on and I wanna rip and tear it!

grrrrr

[obsidian shard]

Anyways

id Software shall feel my wrath, Something something, power, money greed, Something bluh bluh bluh, Mancubus, Hugo Martin, words words words, Mancubus Mayhem

Josh

[frail bloom]

Ye they're totally gonna add it now

First try boi

Alr imma go back to drawing now

[obsidian shard]

peak

[fleet spruce]

Probably will be ported to switch 2 soon, considering they even added the handheld PC preset to game it leads me to believe that they almost figured out switch 2

[fading osprey]

no switch OLED? :(

[fleet spruce]

basic ass switch doesn't have the firepower bro

it just won't run at all

[obsidian shard]

Doesnt have Raytracing

[fading osprey]

fuck :’)

[obsidian shard]

Plus if I remember right id Software had some Switch 2 Dev consoles but Don't take my word for it but I'm fairly certain

[fleet spruce]

tbh at this point just get a steam deck, 720p 30 fps with handheld preset

[violet zealot]

hey, did you guys know in debate version of doom the dog cages we were supposed to fight a Titan all by ourselves like without the 𝚊𝚝𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚜?

*𝙳𝚘𝚘𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚍𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚜

[obsidian shard]

Yup, the DOOM wiki, has a bit of the Cut footage on it!, its on youtube as well!

Oh, I didn’t know that

what

bro speaks in incomprehensible horrors

[cerulean pagoda]

hi

[proper hound]

Hey fellas, I ran into this bug a little while ago and brought it up here. It sounded like it got patched, but I'm still seeing it. The bug is this:

• I missed one secret in the first level
• replayed the level and gathered the secret (the second codex)
• didn't get credit for it
  Now I went and tried again, but I'm seeing that I have 6/6 Secrets collected, but only 1/2 Codex Entries and still only 93% completion on the level.

[gusty seal]

you have to find the last codex @proper hound

which level ?\

4/5 on that challenge so far, only 1 wave left. nightmare damage. max everything else out but parry, thats 3/5 for now. looks so much cooler that way @frail bloom

[frail bloom]

Sweet! Hope you beat it!

Because it's been hours

[gusty seal]

thanks man !

haha

[gusty seal]

even though my sprint is 1.5x the whole game is 2x faster. So that 150% speed thats base game. Well im running at 300% game speed technically dont forget that and i take alot of risks so it takes a little to get it just right. and I like to make a video that looks cool, now slow and running away, if you catch my drift

it feels that way, the mod only says move speed, oh well 😄

probably my speed in relation to everything else idk, the demons are faster. Unless that just a thing now? if so cool

or maybe I just ate too many scooby snacks

[crisp zinc]

yeah there’s a bug with tda, it also says i have all collectibles collected, but i’m missing one and i can’t find out. it’s weird

[manic jolt]

Did they remove the Dragon's den part of Aratum? I'm replaying through the game again and every time after the first cutscene with Serrat it skips the cave section and immediately plays the next cutscene and I'm put into the actual city section.

Doesn't that cave section contain one of the 3 Hell Fighters too?

[green estuary]

If you have tutorials disabled it skips that part

[manic jolt]

Ah ok

[gusty seal]

im making a nice balanced video for @green estuary 😉 300% player damage. (So balanced that im close to doing it in less than 5 min prob.) same one you showed me @frail bloom

[gusty seal]

I just finished it with a 8 minute timer, 300% player damage 😄 @frail bloom

[full jetty]

As I said I will sacrifice my bank account and keep on purchasing copies of DOOM: The Dark Ages to make more DLC's a reality. The more money id Software sees from copies of DOOM: The Dark Ages sold the more DLC's id Software will develop, that is how it works right?

[obsidian shard]

This is not how it works...

It does fund more content and the next game however

[mystic barn]

No. The stock market determines what games are made and when

[elder raven]

dont do that

[gusty seal]

I balanced it for @green estuary Plutoniums Wrath @frail bloom @obsidian shard 300% player damage. https://youtu.be/qMhBa7Me4_8?si=gclNPu3-bKBttkLg I managed in 8 minutes.

[uneven dragon]

my mind is actually melting watching this this is nuts

[gusty seal]

yea well my head still hurts too from doing it hahah 😄

[uneven dragon]

i gotta play at this speed sometime and see how i handle it 😭

[gusty seal]

i find it really fun and a nice little break from base game haha cant wait for the dlc to come out tho.

[brittle finch]

Never had a problem with V Sync until now, but randomly it started causing my 1% lows/frame drops to be ass

Specifically in dark ages

Like just now

Could be a problem with the new update

[haughty idol]

Did they ever add mouse and keyboard support on console?

[haughty idol]

I haven't played since the game came out

[brittle finch]

Probably

[flat elm]

https://youtu.be/2ygj-g_9fSw

Wow

[fleet spruce]

Lol that one comment

[whole sky]

goddamn kreed is no joke on nightmare 150% speed lol

game's still my GOTY for sure lol

[random sand]

out of all bosses. kreed

[whole sky]

my first playthrough in a few months since the past few updates

I don't notice much different but I'm still having tons of fun

my last run was nightmare no weapon-upgrades, now just nightmare 150% speed and it's exhilarating and tough but still fun

[random sand]

with the kreed? they didn't change much. i think he's just more aggressive now

[whole sky]

yeah I hear they made him tougher

well he's def a bullet hell on 150% speed lol

But that's nothing trusty ravager, cycler and the dreadmace can't solve

[random sand]

ravager? hmm. interesting

[whole sky]

My loadout is typically:

Super shotgun (favorite weapon) and gauntlets for enemies and arenas

Ravager and dreadmace for bosses

Dagger shield rune at all times

SSG is not that nerfed, still goated. a single blast can't gib a hell knight but it can still stagger it for a riposte, just as if not more satisfying

[random sand]

i just super shotgun, gauntlets and the shock stun shield run for everything tbh

[whole sky]

that's also very viable

[random sand]

they nerfed it, then buffed it again

[whole sky]

goddamn the combat in this game is exhilarating as all hell

[whole sky]

interesting

I remember SSG being less reliable on my nightmare no weapon upgrades run from before Update 3

[random sand]

yeah. in fact, i think they made it even stronger. now it takes one shot to falter hellknights

[whole sky]

I remember at launch it could straight up explode hell knights with one shot

a lot of people were raising eyebrows at it lol, me included

[random sand]

does that now too

[whole sky]

no, but it does falter them immediately

still good tho. I actually like the slow-mo pseudo-glory kills so that's a win

gotta keep the shell ammo pipeline running

[random sand]

i've turned off the slow-mo. i prefer maintaining the speed and pace

[whole sky]

that's fair too

[high ore]

Yo doom tda is 50% of rn

[whole sky]

awesome

so is the deluxe upgrade. maybe I'll get it

[high ore]

Same

[whole sky]

dunno when DLC will be out but assuming that owning deluxe edition at any time gives foolproof access to DLC when it comes out, perhaps I'll be getting it

[random sand]

yes. getting deluxe edition means you don't have to pay for the dlc. the dlc comes out like 2026 somewhere

[whole sky]

aight then, perhaps I'll get it

[random sand]

i pre-ordered the deluxe edition lol

[hollow vessel]

guys, dark ages getting a dlc? Eternal had two after all

[random sand]

The dark ages is getting one long one i believe

[hollow vessel]

really?

[random sand]

Yeah. From what we know. Parts of it will be available from the beginning but later parts requires to have beaten the game

[hollow vessel]

Okey

[random sand]

Also a high possibility we get a spear in the dlc

[violet zealot]

𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚒𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚍????

[thin hound]

It would have a very long title, that’s for sure

Just like DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part One

[fleet spruce]

Spear of Longinus? haha

[thin hound]

DOOM The Dark Ages: When Hell Freezes Over

[violet zealot]

𝙾𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚜 nice👍👍👍

[hazy pasture]

DOOM The Dark Ages : Interesting Ages

[cerulean pagoda]

just put theomachy into my ultrakill cybergrind, made the experience even better

[thin hound]

As I’m replaying this game, I’m starting to realize that they should have added more massive demon encounters in the later levels, because I don’t have enough opportunities to use the BFC without spoiling the fun of fighting through an encounter, you know?

[slender night]

Awesome, Spear of Destiny 2 here we go

[random sand]

never seen it but maybe

[slender night]

Game by id. Their last FPS before DOOM

[random sand]

it's also interesting. Midnight theorizes or wishes that you can throw the spear and teleport to it. he put that in chat of one of the Hugo streams, Hugo read it and by his reaction, he didn't deny nor confirm it

[obsidian shard]

Ive been saying it might be a portable Flesh Node

[random sand]

could be cool

[slender night]

It was also the first time they put Hell and a demon into their games

[random sand]

i always wanted a sword because doom slayer in medieval armor, a cape, a shield and a sword would be the rawest thing ever but a spear will do

[obsidian shard]

Spear and Axe

[random sand]

Hugo does say the inspiration for the melee in TDA was that gladiator scene so would track

[obsidian shard]

I prefer Anything BUT a Sword

[random sand]

what's wrong with swords? because he had one in eternal?

[slender night]

Sword's a bit generic imo, spear also feels medieval while being unique. And it'd also be cool to see them put one in their games again

[random sand]

shields are also generic. yet they made it unique by also making it a fucking chainsaw. never underestimate Id's power to turn a weapon insane

[slender night]

How do you do the same for a sword

Also it can be a sword that spews toxic vomit and has wings and shit, it'll still be a sword, I want something you don't see that often

[random sand]

could make it extendable. letting you grapple and pull enemies towards you. could also turn the sword into a chainsaw. like that sword in that warhammer game

[thin hound]

It would make sense for him to have the crucible though, and I would like to see it done better than in Eternal

[obsidian shard]

Nah I mean in general, swords are what Almost ALL Medieval Shit uses, But an Axe, Spear, Flail, Halberd and a War Hammer NOW that's what I'm talking bout

Plus he already had a sword...

[thin hound]

Whatever they do, I’m sure it will be awesome

[slender night]

Sorry, don't wanna be mean, but I would not want to see these personally. Weapon turned chainsaw was already made, and sword that turns into a grapple hook is overengineered

[obsidian shard]

fr

[hazy pasture]

True

[hazy pasture]

A sword would be cool only if it's a Broadsword

Or a huge slab of iron...

[slender night]

Crucible would be fine but I'd love if they made it blue to fit with the Sentinels

In the end though I really really want something more exotic

[hazy pasture]

If I remember correctly Valen wielded a purple sentinel hammer in the promo art of tag 2

I wonder...

[obsidian shard]

Also The Dreadmace is more of a club then a mace

[slender night]

Off-topic but the TAG 2 cover art is kinda mid, sorry TAGbros but it feels like it's trying too hard to be cinematic :p

[random sand]

there's a reason those weapons aren't used tho. they're not as cool. fair enough if you wanna see those. just me personally would like a big fucking sword

[cerulean pagoda]

why is it that almost every depiction of a mace always gets it wrong

[slender night]

The reason they aren't used is because people like you keep pushing for more swords

[hazy pasture]

Yup true

Not a mace at all. Top short to be one

[cerulean pagoda]

like ive seen a lot of depictions just make a mace into a hammer and doom just turned it into a club

[obsidian shard]

My Friendowns a Battle Axe, they are peak asf

[random sand]

"people like you" aight bro. name me one other time you've seen someone wish a new weapon added to a game would be a sword 😭

[slender night]

I don't hang around game communities that much, but there has to be a reason they keep doing swords and it's player engagement. If people voiced their want for spears we'd get more spears. It's just that every game does swords and everyone wants swords and spears aren't underutilized, swords are overutilized

[hazy pasture]

Hear me out

Double edged sword

[slender night]

Eeeehh. Spear.

[hazy pasture]

Tbh we're most likely getting a spear anyways

[slender night]

😌

[obsidian shard]

a Great Axe 🤤

[random sand]

swords are often used because not only have they been the main weapons of combat before guns became a thing, the fluidity and creativity you can do with them leaves almost endless possibilities with them. other melee weapons work too but to a lesser degree

[hazy pasture]

Novik's Great Axe

[cerulean pagoda]

imagine if the weapon was a deer

[hazy pasture]

Also Novik's Chain Sword Spear

[random sand]

just gonna run around throwing deers at demons or something? 😭

[cerulean pagoda]

yeah

[slender night]

Man it's a sword, you're not gonna turn a sword into every possible contraption, especially if everyone else uses swords. If you want "creativity" then let them use something other than the same weapon as a template

[hazy pasture]

Ahh would work greatly since parryable attack flashes are similar to blinding lights

[cerulean pagoda]

or what if it was a cheer

doomguy chearing so loud that the demons get stunned

[random sand]

i've seen swords turned into chainsaws, guns, ride-able transportation. god knows what else. the day i see a spear or an axe get the same treatment, i'll be convinced

[hazy pasture]

Our cheer girl

[slender night]

Maybe they don't want to turn a spear into this insane weapon though, maybe they just want a spear. And that'd be unique already with how many swords there are in other media

[hazy pasture]

Spear being used for teleportation...the day is soon

[obsidian shard]

The Komodo has a Double ChainSaw Spear

[echo sail]

anything is possible

[random sand]

the potential for something great is there

[random sand]

a shame it's rarely seen and can't be used

[cerulean pagoda]

it would be cool being able to do some dmc5 forward swordmaster spear stinger

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-the-dark-ages-demon-komodo-komodo-dragon-gif-2303012859308141566

[cerulean pagoda]

where he just shoves the spear into the ground to spin forward

or just a normal spear stinger

[hazy pasture]

True also if ye remember, one of Novik's statues had a Chainsword spear

[hazy pasture]

Yuppo

[hazy pasture]

Very true

[slender night]

I just don't really care for stupidly overengineered weapons anyway personally. I like realism instead of an axe that splits in half to reveal a flamethrower that can also shoot rockets

[cerulean pagoda]

with the king cerberus equipped

something like that

[thin hound]

I use it as my desktop wallpaper, how could you

[slender night]

And that's fine, I just personally don't like it

[echo sail]

youre playing a game where he slayer died and then got revived

[slender night]

Those two are not really comparable

[random sand]

guessing you weren't big on the shieldsaw then

[slender night]

I think it's a little silly, yes

[cerulean pagoda]

or what about a chainsaw spear

[green estuary]

We already have a chainsaw shield

[random sand]

i'd say it's cool asf. a shield that can also be used as a chainsaw. name a more badass weapon than that

[hazy pasture]

Komodo wields one

[slender night]

I don't dislike it, they don't make it super unrealistic (aside from its weird floaty powers) but it is a silly weapon

[random sand]

this is doom. nothing makes sense here

[slender night]

It used to

[green estuary]

Most stuff still makes sense

[random sand]

really? one ordinary joe defeating an army of demons on his own?

[green estuary]

He’s just good at not getting hit
Plus he has all the guns necessary

[slender night]

And when did I say that specifically makes the most sense

[thin hound]

It makes sense, it just is so unbelievably awesome that no one else is willing to do it

[random sand]

how does he get all the weaponry. he just finds plasma rifles, shotguns and rocket launchers lying around

[slender night]

Angels didn't come down to Earth and turn into humans then turn into robots then turn into robot angels then turn into flesh angels then (according to Hugo) turn into eldritch beings

[slender night]

Dead soldiers with weapons drop the weapons when they die

[green estuary]

Sure
He’s just using the weapons dropped by people who died

[cerulean pagoda]

chainsaw spear: give me the chainsaw utility
chainsaw shield: no way you got your own
chainsaw spear: well i want yours too
chainsaw shield: what are you gonna do with all that power huh, no matter how hard you try you'll NEVER be like a true chainsaw
chainsaw spear: YOURE WASTING TIME!!! (runs forward to stinger)
chainsaw shield: (blocks it) we are both going to have chainsaw utilities, within each of us flows its fuel, but more importantly, ITS SOUL, AND MY SOUL IS SAYING THAT IT WANTS TO STOP YOU
chainsaw spear: evil laugh unfortunately our souls are at odds brother, I NEED THE CHAINSAW
chainsaw shield: and we are supposed to be both chainsaws
chainsaw spear: chainsaws...... right

[slender night]

Also as far as I'm aware he never "defeated" them in the originals. In DOOM 1 he escaped, in DOOM II he freed humanity from their clutches, then in the rest he just killed their leaders. It's not like he singlehandedly drove the entire population to extinction

[cerulean pagoda]

okay i think i placed it very braindeadly

[random sand]

which one of those guys decided it was a good idea to bring a rocket launcher to fend off against demons in a lab 😭

[slender night]

Maybe they were experimenting with new weapons in the UAC? It's a corporation that handles science and weaponry...

[cerulean pagoda]

but get the reference if you can

[slender night]

I imagine they ran experiments with the rocket launcher too

[green estuary]

Clearly he had the right idea
It’s the best standard weapon you get

[cerulean pagoda]

so the explosion destroys all the evidence of their browser history

[thin hound]

With the arachnotrons, revenants, and mancubus of the Dark Ages, really makes it seem like the UAC took a lot of inspiration when creating demons now, like they didn’t have any original ideas

[random sand]

makes you wonder why it didn't work for him but does for us. guess doom slayer's just built different

[fleet spruce]

unga bunga stick of chaotic divinity

[obsidian shard]

real

[harsh egret]

my artbook is on the way 🥹

[cerulean pagoda]

the BFS(Big fucking stick)

[slender night]

@random sand Sorry if I came off as a bit aggressive during that spear convo. I just want them to do something less generic. We have already had swords in DOOM
And yes the shieldsaw is badass. It's just also silly on paper. I think those two can coexist; really really silly idea that would realistically never be pursued by any military in the world, but it does end up being fire

[random sand]

just gonna whack 'em with a big-ass stick or something? 😭

[cerulean pagoda]

or ykw BFC(Big fucking club)

BFS is reserved for the spear(Big fucking spear)

[hazy pasture]

So real

[random sand]

i think it honestly makes sense Doom Slayer has a shieldsaw. it was just a regular shield at first but then he got an upgrade to stick a chainsaw onto it. it only makes sense to make the arsenal of your biggest ace even deadlier. making his defense also an offense

[fleet spruce]

I hope we'll get another eldritch weapon in DLC. There's so much potential in design and function due to the nature of it.

[slender night]

I'm glad they gave the saw part more gameplay purpose than the Doomblade

[random sand]

what could they have even done with the Doomblade? made it the melee attack?

[hazy pasture]

BFR(Big Fucking Rock). Doomguy tosses it up in the air and hits a homerun with the Dreadmace at the demons, pulverizing them in a fraction of a second

[harsh egret]

still crazy to me, we should be getting a cosmic weapon cuz that makes the most sense, we will go to snowy hell, we will find out more about marok, "armor" tease that we got that might mean we could see the wretch or smth, like how big is this dlc bruh

[slender night]

I don't know but they could figure more purpose out for it than just glory kill animations. Especially with how much exposure it gets in promo material

[hazy pasture]

Hugo is lying to us. It's a whole new game

[harsh egret]

i swear it feels like it

no

[obsidian shard]

hell yea! Still waiting on the records

[hazy pasture]

Sorry brochacho but nope

[random sand]

there is that one reaver weapon from the cosmic realm that's in the files but wasn't added into the game. could be a finalized version of that

[harsh egret]

oh shit u didnt get them yet??

[hazy pasture]

Dang

[harsh egret]

doubt it

[hazy pasture]

Reanimator

[harsh egret]

it will for sure be smth else

[obsidian shard]

nope, but i have a spot cleared for them

[harsh egret]

nice

yeah ill be getting a cabinet early next year for my doom stuff

[hazy pasture]

I mean we could've gotten ourselves a Cosmic BFG

[hazy pasture]

Peam

[harsh egret]

i still hope we get a 2nd bfc weapon too

[random sand]

why? it would make the most sense. reaver is the only weapon type with only one weapon and a cosmic realm weapon is pretty much a must-have

[hazy pasture]

Let's hope we get a Cosmic BFG

[harsh egret]

pressed enter earlier by accident :d

it wouldnt cuz the concept art is already out and we know it was cut from the base game. they wouldnt show us things for the dlc like that

[hazy pasture]

Chainshot is enough tbh. Reanimator could've been cool but idk

[harsh egret]

it can be a different cosmic weapon for sure but im also sure they got tens of different concepts for that

[fleet spruce]

Man the concept arts of it looked cool af. Shame it got scrapped in favour of the crossbow.

[random sand]

they could rework it. scrapping it entirely seems like a waste to me. you already have the ground of a cosmic realm weapon laying right there. why build a new one from scratch

[harsh egret]

the black hole element doesnt really fit this game i think

[fleet spruce]

quake 4 moment

[harsh egret]

that got scrapped a long time ago at this point lol

they got time for one new weapon in the past 1-2 years xd

[random sand]

yeah but it's still there. they got time sure but it's just a waste when they got it right there

[harsh egret]

ok was removing the pistol from eternal a waste too?

or was it a good decision cuz it didnt fit in the game?

[random sand]

that's different

[harsh egret]

how is that any different

hell, they had the full model in game which they didnt for the reanimator

isnt that a bigger waste

[random sand]

you're comparing a pistol with infinite ammo which only was used in case you had nothing else to a second weapon for the class that lacked one

also. 2016 and eternal work differently with their rescources so the pistol wouldn't fit there

[harsh egret]

either way, cut content is normal and if they decided on it then i bet they know what they are doing as devs

yh exactly and maybe they playtested this one and didnt like how it played

they only had the blockout of the weapon, that takes like 1 day to make

[random sand]

then comes the question. how did it play? i haven't seen it and idk if it's possible to see it

iirc, it was similar to the chainshot except it shot some sorta spike instead of a ball

[harsh egret]

idk i remember it shooting many orbs that were heatseeking orbs or smth

[hazy pasture]

Nope it fired orbs that had a funny curving projectile arc and were heatseeking

Really high rate of fire

[random sand]

watching a vid on it rn. reaver nova was its name?

[hazy pasture]

Yup

Reaver Chainshot and Nova

Reanimator in files

Possible upgrade was something like that of Pulverizer's Haste

Increased rate of fire and also increased damage

[frail bloom]

[obsidian shard]

Your favourite!

[random sand]

i mean, looking at it, it looks alright. i'm not seeing anything crazy from it. soemthing i'm noticing it takes very little for it to overheat 😭

[frail bloom]

[obsidian shard]

you will love my Next Ripatorium Pre-set!!

[frail bloom]

Oh hell nah

[hazy pasture]

Yeah nothing too interesting tbh

But the concepts were crazy

[frail bloom]

Max komodos huh

Bring it on pal

[hazy pasture]

Komodo Jungle...

[random sand]

honestly. i think they scrapped it because it was too weak. it doesn't look that good to me when looking at it here

[obsidian shard]

I Call it "Unholy Wars... Thy Punishment Due"

[hazy pasture]

Fair enough

[frail bloom]

Nah thy flesh consumed

[obsidian shard]

(Megadeth is peak)

[hazy pasture]

Yuno ball

[earnest mulch]

Is the new melee weapon almost guaranteed to be a blade of some kind? Since the other three are blunt force weapons and Hugo said something about traversal with the new weapon? I might be misremembering

[frail bloom]

Smt smt rhymes with steer

[hazy pasture]

It's a deer

[frail bloom]

Obv

[earnest mulch]

Ok so antlers

[frail bloom]

[hazy pasture]

LMAO

[frail bloom]

Nah it's prob a spear

[hazy pasture]

Highkey yeah

[frail bloom]

I would've kept going but ppl are easy to trick

[hazy pasture]

Also greetings Samir

And ErikEnigmatik

[earnest mulch]

Hugo did say the slow-mo combat scene in 300 was a source of inspiration

[frail bloom]

Hello

[earnest mulch]

Good morning!

[frail bloom]

Ye makes sense they go full circle

[hazy pasture]

Yeah especially the spear scene

[earnest mulch]

Whatever happens, I am pumped. We've been spoiled having three great games in the modern trilogy

[hazy pasture]

Many are speculating the spear to be the one Azhrak wielded

[hazy pasture]

So real mate

[frail bloom]

This should've been in the game ngl

[hazy pasture]

Mech chainsaw had double blades like the one in D64

It would've been insane

[frail bloom]

I wanted to lift titans!!!

[hazy pasture]

Lift em up and break their backs like Bane

Aww man

[frail bloom]

Or throw them at other titans

[hazy pasture]

Peam

[frail bloom]

Everytime I think abt what they could've done, they didn't do it

Ok that makes no sense

But basically it's too basic for me now

Doesn't feel spectacle-y

[earnest mulch]

The titan combat sections?

[frail bloom]

Yes

[earnest mulch]

Same here

[frail bloom]

It could've had glory kills, it could've had more comboes for you to do

[earnest mulch]

It's a good one-time thing, the novelty and spectacle was exciting. But then you get familiar with the game and it's all about how good the gameplay is at that point

[frail bloom]

I know it can have glory kills, bc there's not that many enemies at a time

[earnest mulch]

True, it could've been a lot more in depth

[twilit stone]

Could say this about a lot of things about this game

[frail bloom]

It just goes for the atlan, dragon and story for me

Everything else I'm good with

[twilit stone]

That's true of me as well yeah, especially the story

[harsh egret]

then u would see the same ones even more all the time cuz who goes around the titans and tries to do different ones

that would get so old so quick

[frail bloom]

Er it's cooler then a punch

And it won't break the game

[harsh egret]

the punch is pretty cool

[frail bloom]

C'mon a chainsaw is cooler

Ripping them apart is cooler

[harsh egret]

and makes it so the segments arent unecessarily long

[frail bloom]

So why have them

[harsh egret]

but yeah any game has cut content and thats how it is

[earnest mulch]

My second playthrough has been moving as quickly as I can to each slayer combat section. Not into the atlan and dragon combat this time

[harsh egret]

its still cool as it is imo

[frail bloom]

If it's a spectacle segment go all big with spectacle

It loses its luster when you realize what they could've done

[dapper palm]

I hope there's a bit more Atlan gameplay in future games/DLC. Don't care about the dragon stuff though.

[harsh egret]

thats the case with anything

[twilit stone]

They're also using big ass spears in Eternal's codex pictures and in Immora, why don't we get to play with those in TDA ;-;

[earnest mulch]

We just might be able to soon

Oh you mean with the Atlan

[twilit stone]

Yea

[meager vortex]

ripatorium2.0 new challenge show up now!

[frail bloom]

That is true

[meager vortex]

new pre-set is good

@warm ibex your pre-set challenge is awsome!

[violet zealot]

hey, did anybody know that 𝚝𝚎𝚊 taste different in hot water than a cold water cause I just figured that out

[hazy pasture]

Yes it does

[violet zealot]

𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚎𝚕𝚕 I have to start drinking hot tea now

cause it tastes better

[hazy pasture]

Imma drink tea now

[warm ibex]

thank you!

[old fable]

what.

[solar spoke]

I have to say I enjoyed it too. I've gotten to round 3 so far but I'll keep chipping away at it

[warm ibex]

take your time and keep practicing, you'll get there

[hazy vale]

i got a code for the onyx slayer skin i got but i dont play this game if anone want it dm me for free

[elder raven]

i cant decide whether i like the eternal arachnotron or the tda arachnotron

design wise

[grim cloud]

medieval chitnous tech versus uac cultist tech

if pressed i would probably take the Doom Eternal variant. But i am not sure why it bleeds blue ... maybe that is synthetic blood

[cerulean pagoda]

I wish serrat doesn't get resurrected I don't want more dragon sections

[grim cloud]

serrat will be turned in the new maledict

[cerulean pagoda]

Or wait what if the spear could be a mech weapon as the ones we see in exultia

[frail bloom]

Eternals

[frail bloom]

That would be kinda sad huh

[crisp zinc]

who owns this discord server

[cerulean pagoda]

I like the organic look of tdas better

[frail bloom]

They should do that

[cerulean pagoda]

The person that owns the server owns it

[grim cloud]

force ti kill your beloved pet 😭

[frail bloom]

Awesome but sad idea

[cerulean pagoda]

I may have also stumbled across some crazy movement tech in TDA

[crisp zinc]

🤯

[cerulean pagoda]

Allows you to do some sort of super jump that launches you all the way up to serrat and daisy in heaven

[slender night]

A Bethesda employee

[cerulean pagoda]

And the ground slam does absurd amount of damage

[frail bloom]

Show a vid

[cerulean pagoda]

I'll post it on my channel I did it randomly

The way you do it is by getting a tyrant to summon spikes whiel you're on the edge of an arena and jump at the correct time with your shield upto go in the air flying

[frail bloom]

Oh that thing

That's kinda hard to do

[whole sky]

speaking of super jumps

[magic spoke]

what are my defensive options for homing attacks

[whole sky]

I had it happen that the cyberdemon's pillars launched me into the sky randomly

[magic spoke]

because im starting to get real fucking tired of them lmao

[frail bloom]

Parry them

[magic spoke]

not all of them are parryable

[whole sky]

if it has a hell surge color, parry

[frail bloom]

Oh those?

[whole sky]

strafe also works very well

like, for agaddon hunter and cyberdemon homing attacks, I often just strafe em.

[frail bloom]

You look the direction you wanna dodge and you run away

[magic spoke]

in specific the revs homing blue skulls at 150%

[frail bloom]

Or you look away and take a shot from behind

[whole sky]

or hide behind cover

[frail bloom]

As funny as that sounds

[whole sky]

oh

that

yeah I often just strafe or just hope he whiffs lol

[frail bloom]

You take less damage looking away

[magic spoke]

fr?

[whole sky]

I also have it happen that the blue ones at 150% just pass by me

[frail bloom]

Ye

[whole sky]

and my strat with revs is to just kill em asap

give em a good ol shield bash and a fist and a ssg blast

[magic spoke]

i see, ty for the advice. and yeah i usually just headshot fieldbash ssg

[whole sky]

good choice

goddamn I love this game's SSG

[magic spoke]

i got really close to beating the leader cyberdemon in resurrection on max sliders

[slender night]

Bad SSG in DOOM count: 0

[whole sky]

or just have the first blue one whiff, the second homing projectile is always parryable

[frail bloom]

There's a leader cyberdemon?

In resurrection?

[magic spoke]

leaders are the ones that amp demons right

ohhhh not resurrection

[frail bloom]

You mean reckoning?

[magic spoke]

i meant reckoning yea

[whole sky]

DOOM 2: Good, very iconic
DOOM 3: I have not played RoE in a full year lol
64: Also very good
2016: Also awesome, very weighty, lovely sound
Eternal: Sounds a bit bad but the meathook is neat
TDA: Hell yeah

[cerulean pagoda]

okay got the video

who wants to see it

[frail bloom]

Me

[whole sky]

i'm curious

[whole sky]

it's funny how you said resurrection at first but my mind immediately knew that you were talking about the final level

[magic spoke]

yeah i get those 2 mixed up lol imo they are the 2 best levels

[whole sky]

I'm currently doing nightmare 150% speed (not max sliders tho), final battle and reckoning left

I gotta compliment the devs for having a long ass campaign but with little filler

[magic spoke]

immediate action so they r perfect for practice

[whole sky]

every level fucking rocks

[magic spoke]

the skippable cutscenes are great too

i wish more games did it

[whole sky]

the levels that are closest to filler are city of ry'ul and the purple temple level (belly of the beast feels very convenient of a plot device but I can let it slide), and even those I wouldn't take out of the game because they're fun regardless

[magic spoke]

otherwise u get situations like kingdom hearts where u have to watch a fucking movie everytime u die

[whole sky]

It's a slight gripe I have with dead space remake

Good game, great atmosphere, and although I understand why the cutscenes are unskippable, it still hampers replayability imo

[magic spoke]

LMFAOOO

[crisp zinc]

fr

[magic spoke]

so funny u say this cus im playing DSR rn and thats my exact issue lol

dude i have no idea how many times i watched haley die
