I like my longer levels

harsh egret
#

But fk knows maybe levels wont work the same way we know them, if there will be post end content still to unlock so idk

obsidian shard
#

the TDA levels are like 3 times bigger then the biggest Eternal level

crude sparrow
#

speaking of huge, how do y'all feel about the big open levels like siege and resurrection

frail bloom
green estuary
#

the only level I feel is too long is spire

frail bloom
#

I love them and hate them

#

I hate the checkpoint system

harsh egret
green estuary
#

but the more open levels would be improved with better checkpoints

frail bloom
#

That part is aids

obsidian shard
frail bloom
harsh egret
#

On my first run it took a while for sure

frail bloom
#

And I don't like the look of spire either

crude sparrow
#

yeah spire is really long

green estuary
#

it needs a spire part 1 and 2 lol

frail bloom
#

So it kinda makes me go crazy

harsh egret
crude sparrow
#

but for me siege is one of my favorite levels tbh

#

If only there were more enemies

#

maybe in the master level?

frail bloom
obsidian shard
#

Hellbreaker my beloved

green estuary
#

if they ever do a master level for spire, I'm gonna be very upset if they don't give us another combat encounter once we return to the first area

harsh egret
#

Master campaign u mean

crude sparrow
obsidian shard
harsh egret
#

Idk if u could tell but im hyped for the master campaign

green estuary
frail bloom
#

Ye we don't know

green estuary
#

even though it's kiiinda confirmed

harsh egret
#

Ng+ without all the levels would be weird

obsidian shard
#

BRO, its 3 Campaigns then basically

crude sparrow
#

plans could still change

harsh egret
#

Pls no

frail bloom
#

It's happened before

obsidian shard
harsh egret
#

Uh oh horde is gonna bully me now

warm ibex
obsidian shard
#

and no Multiplayer means they can focus on other

frail bloom
#

Horde humble him

harsh egret
#

Omfg

frail bloom
#

NOOOOOO

obsidian shard

green estuary
#

what we don't need is master level mech section

frail bloom
green estuary
#

that could get very aids very fast

frail bloom
#

I see you and me like using the word aids a lot

#

Sneaky stop posting

#

You'll get timed out for an hour

green estuary
#

it is very apt in a lot of scenarios

obsidian shard
warm ibex
harsh egret
crude sparrow
#

am I the only one who liked the mech sections šŸ˜­

harsh egret
#

No

frail bloom
#

Dlc is fair game tho

obsidian shard
warm ibex
green estuary
#

well if they give new enemies and give us more weapons for the mech sections that'd be cool
but if they just add more basic titans to mech encounters then that would be iffy

crude sparrow
#

please dont add spectre whiplashes to tda too

harsh egret
#

I would lose my mind

warm ibex
obsidian shard
#

Absolute Serrat with spear in neck image

harsh egret
#

Lmao

frail bloom
green estuary
#

yes

warm ibex
#

yeah since they didn't appear until TAG1

frail bloom
#

They don't have a codex, or toy or anything

#

And y'know why not use the other dlc enemies

harsh egret
#

Whiplash champions incoming

elder raven
#

every dlc demon doesnt have a toy

green estuary
frail bloom
#

They made a mars core level that released with the world spear master level, could've done it there

warm ibex
#

purple goo mars core arena with screechers and cursed prowlers

green estuary
#

yeah because that long-ass mars core ML could definitely have done with more blood maykrs

#

obviously

frail bloom
warm ibex
#

not really

frail bloom
#

Putting dlc enemies in campaign level remixes?

green estuary
#

well hopefully there aren't any DLC enemies that are just there to ragebait you

sour crater
#

possessed aggadon

frail bloom
#

Sounds like the same thing

uneven dragon
#

Time for the Stone Vagary

green estuary
frail bloom
#

Unless you articulate

green estuary
#

if you count enforcer-buffed as possessed

harsh egret
warm ibex
green estuary
#

although we absolutely need enforcer buffed barons in ng+

sour crater
#

it'd be funny if they added a screecher-type enemy

frail bloom
sour crater
#

and then everyone becomes enforcer buffed

harsh egret
#

Add stone mancubus

#

Ultimate bullet sponge

sour crater
#

cursed baron

green estuary
elder raven

#

You do have a point, but like you said, we haven't seen the enemies yet

#

They could be as annoying

elder raven
#

pain elemental for dark ages šŸ™

cerulean pagoda
#

hi

cerulean pagoda
green estuary
#

well, if they add some classic enemies in the DLC and then proceed to not include them in the main campaign that would be upsetting

sour crater
#

i want the archvile

frail bloom
#

They also gotta add them to the ripatorium

frail bloom
sour crater
#

woohoo

#

can't wait to get blasted with fire

cerulean pagoda
#

a cosmic archvile would be fitting

frail bloom
#

I said likely

elder raven
#

i really wanna know that new weapon though

frail bloom
harsh egret
#

Cosmic lost soul

frail bloom
#

Gimme classic archvile

sour crater
#

ultra nightmare archvile summons the old one

harsh egret
#

We already have cosmic arch vile

elder raven
frail bloom
#

We already have a cosmic archvile it's called the acolyte

#

#littlepissbag

green estuary
warm ibex
#

I wouldn't want a cosmic archvile anyways

harsh egret
#

Samir works at id software i just cant prove it

frail bloom
#

What no Hugo teased it

#

Remember

sour crater
#

what if they add the classic pinky

harsh egret
#

Yeah tbf he said "interesting..." to like 30 things now at this point i cant care about anything anymore

frail bloom
elder raven
#

can we get every demon ever

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

Awesome

sour crater
#

can we fight bertruger

elder raven
#

every demon ever šŸ”œ

frail bloom
sour crater
#

can hugo be a super secret boss

frail bloom
#

And I don't know him to give red herrings

harsh egret
#

idk he said that to so many things it almost doesnt make sense to have all that in one dlc

elder raven
frail bloom
harsh egret
#

well im talking about even lore

#

like thats a whole game's worth

crude sparrow
#

exactly

frail bloom
#

Well the only thing I see occuring fully is the discovery of nekravol

crude sparrow
#

like how are they going to fit all of that in the dlc

frail bloom
#

We might kill two high council members and meet the wretch

elder raven
#

depends on how many levels

harsh egret
#

so im not taking any more "interesting..."s as teases, im taking them as "hugo trolling and fk knows what is real and what isnt"

elder raven
frail bloom
#

I also don't see how adding an archvile makes or breaks the line lol

#

How many enemies are you expecting here

harsh egret
sour crater
#

what if for funnies the archvile spawns more archviles

frail bloom
#

spawns acolytes

crude sparrow
elder raven
harsh egret
#

i dont wanna do it...

frail bloom
#

I'm expecting 6

crude sparrow
#

or maybe...

harsh egret
#

uh oh

frail bloom
#

Follow up

elder raven
crude sparrow
#

maybe even

elder raven
#

fuckass meme

crude sparrow
#

(I dont want to)

#

someone else say it

frail bloom
#

crude sparrow
#

HE SAID IT

frail bloom
elder raven
frail bloom
#

Nah but I expect 6 enemies

harsh egret
#

fuck you

frail bloom
#

Your welcome

#

I would hope for an archvile, pain elemental

#

Then the other 4 idc

sour crater
#

armored archvile

frail bloom
#

Oh oh gargoyle

sour crater
#

go crazy

frail bloom
#

Where the hell is he

elder raven
#

i think the gargoyles are chilling right now

#

hang on

frail bloom
#

They were most prevalant in the dark ages era

#

They swooped in and took civilians from their homes

#

Weird they don't show up

#

They also shoot acid so they fit right at home

harsh egret
#

my official prediction:
feb 19th release
12 levels (yes, 12)
5 completly new ai, with some armored/leader/champion ones maybe

#

actually no, 7 new ai

sour crater
#

that's 8 days before re9

frail bloom
sour crater
#

whoops

frail bloom
#

To clarify, the variants are not part of the 5 ai right?

#

The 5 ai are completely new models with new behaviors

#

Wait 12 levels

#

Bro what are you smoking

#

I want it

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

Horde we should smoke what he's smoking

warm ibex
#

With the teases we have so far I'd imagine they'll prioritize level size over level count

sour crater
#

what if we get one level that's the size of elden ring

harsh egret
#

longer levels? uhhh

warm ibex
#

so instead of having something like twelve medium size levels, we'll get eight larger ones

harsh egret
#

if its anything like spire then uhhhh

sour crater
#

90 gb release

harsh egret
#

like spire is a tiny bit too long for me

#

and many people

#

i hope not longer than that

frail bloom
#

I felt like spire was too long cuz I don't like the look

#

I don't mind the length

warm ibex
#

I don't even think they'll be levels technically, but that's a different thing

elder raven
harsh egret
#

yeah ive mentioned this a lil earlier

harsh egret
warm ibex
# elder raven what do you mean

A while back I came up with the theory that instead of having a tradition chapter select, the HUB will have a war table of sorts with regions that you select from

harsh egret
#

with the hub and all too

frail bloom
elder raven
#

almost like wolfenstein iiā€™s enigma codes

obsidian shard
#

Spire is a dragon level'

harsh egret
#

yeah and then killing the final boss unlocks the 30% rest of the content thats not unlocked yet

warm ibex
#

I believe it was last stream that Hugo mentioned returning to the HUB to select levels (disregard until I find 100% proof)

frail bloom
#

Woah what?

harsh egret
#

wtf i dont remember this

frail bloom
#

I never heard this

warm ibex
#

mentioned in passing

#

I'll find it if I have time

frail bloom
#

Alr

crude sparrow
#

he did say there was gonna be a hub world similar to the fortress of doom

harsh egret
#

i swear horde whats happening with u saying stuff that i dont remember but ur always right so im not doubting u kekw

crude sparrow
#

and a more metroidvania style mission system

harsh egret
#

yeah thats right

#

but i dont remember anything more that he said

warm ibex
elder raven
#

hypothetically horde could say that thereā€™s a new playable character or there will be 1 level and people could believe him

obsidian shard
#

Hopefully Serrat returns

#

isnt doomguy basically running solo now tho?

harsh egret
#

well marok will be a bigger part of the story so who knows

elder raven
crude sparrow
#

I get there will probably be some involvement with the sentinels again but I think with him taking the kreed's ship and staying in hell he basically wanted to distance himself from them again

frail bloom
#

Marok might help him a little

obsidian shard
#

Sentinels find Nekravol (Cinema?)

elder raven
#

if the armor tease is the praetor suit, maybe we wear it in the last two missions?

frail bloom
#

It sets up the civil war

crude sparrow
warm ibex
#

I very quickly went from "woooahhhhh praetor suit!!!" to "damn that would lowkey suck"

frail bloom
#

I don't know why he said armor

obsidian shard
elder raven
frail bloom
#

We are not wearing different armor

green estuary
crude sparrow
#

idk how they wanna incorporate the praetor suit into it when doomguy allegedly got it after he already got betrayed by the priests which was right before 2016

warm ibex
elder raven
#

im just very confused to what he means

obsidian shard
#

and We still have more games of different armor

obsidian shard
frail bloom
#

No we know that but why say armor

#

We ain't wearing the praetor suit

warm ibex
#

I can't remember where I said this, but that might just be his only way of safely teasing the wretch. we know practically nothing else about the character and it's such a vague tease that it could mean a ton of different things

frail bloom
#

True

elder raven
#

all bets on belias

frail bloom
#

But we gotta discover nekravol

crude sparrow
#

also what about the mark of the beast decal on his helmet

obsidian shard
#

Clearly he means we get a demonic Armor essence upgrade!

green estuary
#

nekrasmol

frail bloom
#

Oops

crude sparrow
#

he doesnt have it in tda, only a couple skins do

frail bloom
#

Or maybe

#

Nvm

elder raven
frail bloom
#

I was abt to say armor upgrades but I think he specified it had to do with smt he said earlier

crude sparrow
#

some skins have a glowing one on the helmet tho

elder raven
#

my bad then, yeah idk why

The Codex indicates the Slayer was leading the Night Sentinels throughout a lot of the Unholy Wars + the Argenta Civil War.

crude sparrow
#

pretty much what he did before in doom 64 to save humanity

cerulean pagoda
#

Hi

wintry forge
# hard thistle The Codex indicates the Slayer was leading the Night Sentinels throughout a lot ...

With Marok in the dlc, Iā€™m sure weā€™ll see something happen that compels the Slayer to return to Argent Dā€™Nur. Although they arenā€™t ā€œhis people,ā€ he is still obligated to protect them. He fought alongside them for a couple years at this point, and they are a civilization like his own. So with Hell still pursuing the Argenta, the Slayer wonā€™t just leave the sentinels to die

hard thistle
# wintry forge With Marok in the dlc, Iā€™m sure weā€™ll see something happen that compels the Slay...

I would say they're his people by now, personally. IMO the cutscene at the beginning of Reckoning was meant to show that. TDA is kind of about the Slayer regaining the trust of the Sentinels after his rise and the Maykrs taking control of him.

I think if there is something to see from him kneeling to Novik, the connections between his own grief and the loss of Argent D'Nur, I feel the Slayer is meant to be relating heavily to the Sentinels and their culture.

#

This is why I am a bit conflicted by TDA's ending a bit, even if I know he goes back to them. Ending it on the note of him alone in Hell feels a little incongruent with the game's themes. Not a big deal though. Oh well.

wintry forge
# hard thistle I would say they're his people by now, personally. IMO the cutscene at the begin...

Thatā€™s definitely one of the main plot points, and it was great to see how the sentinels grew to trust him, especially through Novik

I think the gameā€™s ending makes sense even with that in mind. The Slayer knows what Hell is capable of, so he left as a means to protect them, to take the battle away from the Sentinels and deeper into Hell alone. This is the first time heā€™s been free since he was blessed, so this was the first chance he had to leave and continue his crusade alone

discord won't let me send the discord link but the artist name is literally in the post and they have this work deascribed as "The Sacratan - Concept.
In an effort to study different world-building styles, I recently had the chance to fully complete DOOM: The Dark Ages. That experience inspired me to explore its universe further by designing a concept for a potential enemy ā€” which ultimately led to the creation of the Sacratan."

To my absolute non-surprise, Finishing Move, Inc. is my most listened to artist and Doom TDA is my most listened to album on Spotify wrapped this year. Looking forward to what they are cooking up for the DLC (if they are scoring it).

Oh dang that sucks

topaz oriole
#

Is doom better PC or controller cause I'm on controller rn and idk if I should be on keyboard and mouse

slender night
#

A lot of people will tell you kbm but it's a matter of preference really. You can be good or bad with either one

topaz oriole
#

Thx and also what's everyone's fav doom gamem

gusty seal
#

i prefer keyboard mouse all the way

topaz oriole
#

Oki

gusty seal
#

I love doom

topaz oriole
#

Cause I'm on switch saving for PS5 so I'm not sure if I should get a PC and get it on their

#

I have eternal on switch 2 btw

gusty seal
#

investing in a pc will be more costly than a ps5 but could last longer if done right or at the very least give more game diversity, especially with emulators and all, able to use controllers right through the PC

topaz oriole
#

And the dark ages is it better PC or controller

green estuary
#

first person shooters are better on mouse and keyboard, with very few exceptions

#

tda is not one of those exceptions

topaz oriole
#

Oki so PS5 it is then

gusty seal
#

haha

I built it for max graphics settings, then Bethesda released an update for path tracing a few months later that required a new Nvidia graphics card

rugged moon
green estuary
#

what's your graphics card

rugged moon
green estuary
#

yeah the ps5 would run it better
if it were eternal then I'd say get it on pc, because the graphics aren't that amazing anyways and it's a real pain in the ass on controller (I know it's possible, but much harder than PC)
but TDA is still great on controller, so I'd say just go for the ps5

#

there are plenty of people here who play it on ps5 just fine

I have a rtx 3070 should i get the game on pc or ps5?

green estuary
#

I get a nearly locked 60 fps on my laptop 4060, your 3070 should perform significantly better

ancient atlas
#

tda is really good optimized game

#

so go for pc

green estuary
#

well it depends
if you've got a 50 series or older 60 series card, then a ps5 is gonna perform better obviously

ancient atlas
#

i've got 5070ti

green estuary
#

lmao

#

that's a whole different ball game then

ancient atlas
#

running at 2k with dlss quality 2x framegen gives minimum 150fps performance without input delay

green estuary
#

solid

ancient atlas
#

love the game so much

green estuary
#

frankly I can't even notice much difference between 60 fps on my monitor vs higher frame rates on my laptop

ancient atlas
#

basically it gives me all i wanted from meaty shooter

#

close combat with guns

green estuary
#

yeah pretty much everything from the sound design to how every weapon feels and handles just makes you feel powerful

obsidian shard
#

Thats why i love the music so much!! Its RAW and Powerful!

green estuary
#

even if nothing else it's a case study for what video games need to do to make stuff feel satisfying

ancient atlas
#

fully upgraded super shotgunHuGun_Martin

obsidian shard
ancient atlas
green estuary
#

it's part of what I like so much about the combat
it's not like eternal, where you are going a million miles an hour but then come to a screeching halt every time you do a glory kill
the combat is fast, but not overly so, and it's got a really nice sense of continuity to it without really wearing on your brain in the same way more frantic shooters do

obsidian shard
#

Its as if its its constantly flowing

green estuary
#

the slow-mo did detract from the combat imo, although I certainly understand why the devs put it in initially
it's yet another thing that makes your actions in the game feel deliberate and weighty, but it was likely also meant to give players a bit of a breather in between more intense sections
but like I said before, the combat isn't so frantic that you're really desperate for mental breaks, so being able to reduce/turn off the slow-mo is very nice

crude sparrow
green estuary
#

I mean you can if you want to

ancient atlas
#

gonna buy tda on steam when my game pass runs out i think

#

i wish i had more money lol

green estuary
#

but after my first playthrough I basically stopped even looking to get the execution animations because they slowed me down and made me more vulnerable

crude sparrow
#

I still like the glory kill system but I agree that it doesnt really fit tda with the amount of demons there are

#

but its nice they still included them

green estuary
#

honestly if there were a mod for eternal or 2016 that could replace the gk system with just a simple melee strike for every dazed demon, I'd install that shit in a heartbeat

#

because my god is it annoying to get pancaked by enemies right as you exit the animation

ancient atlas
#

minimum glory kills also gives more challenge cause you're not stucked in animation being invuln

green estuary
#

in tougher custom maps you're basically forced to pop up the energy shield after every gk just to avoid taking more damage than the health you just recovered lol

crude sparrow
ancient atlas
green estuary
#

although it's annoying that it doesn't apply to chainsaw kills by default

crude sparrow
green estuary
#

do chainsaw kills get sped up by savagery in battlemode?

#

never knew that

#

probably cuz I've played battle mode less times than I have fingers on one hand

crude sparrow
#

theres a perk that speeds up the chainsaw animations by like 40% if I remember correctly

#

so it's harder for the demons to loot block you mid chainsaw

forest hatch
#

i think the loot block is kinda just a bs get outta jail card for the demons

green estuary
#

well yeah

#

it's to offset the slayer's built in advantage

#

which is the fact that everyone knows how to play the slayer

crude sparrow
#

funny thing is, the normal glory kills also made the chainsaw sound for the demons so you could bait them into wasting their block

forest hatch
forest hatch
green estuary
#

I suppose if you practice with a certain battlemode demon hard enough, their power ceiling can be higher than the slayer's, simply because air control doesn't exist in battlemode and some of the demon abilities are busted

#

but in practice that kinda never happens

crude sparrow
green estuary
#

unless you're paired with absolute sweat lords

forest hatch
#

demon is just also a lot harder in general i feel, mainly bc like u said everyone knows slayer

forest hatch
green estuary
#

yeah the controls are alien

crude sparrow
#

I played battlemode quite a lot so I could have that gold podium

most of my battlemode gameplay was on xbox before 2.0

#

ive since migrated to pc

crude sparrow
#

I remember having to change my username so people wouldn't insta leave when queuing against me

forest hatch
#

LMAO

#

if i ever went back to battlemode i would boot it up on my xbox instead of pc mostly bc all my progression is on there. hell i have like 350 hours on my xbox account

green estuary
#

suffering from success

crude sparrow
#

real

forest hatch
#

too goated at battlemode

#

is 2016s mp or battlemode more active?

crude sparrow
#

I think battlemode is just straight up dead now

forest hatch
#

oof

crude sparrow
#

though I havent played eternal in a while so

forest hatch
#

i almost kinda wish dark ages had a deathmatch but i feel like it wouldnt really work with how the combat is designed around the shield

crude sparrow
#

atlan 1v1s

forest hatch
#

okay that could be sick if the atlan had a bit more depth

crude sparrow
#

let us do combos and everything

#

like a fighting game

forest hatch
#

id grind the shit outta that

green estuary
#

imagine tda with atlan combat taken from titanfall 2

#

a guy can dream

forest hatch
#

DUDE

green estuary
#

actually would be the greatest fps of all time

forest hatch
#

I NEED THAT

crude sparrow
#

modders get on that asap

ancient atlas
#

i can't play any online modes in eternal or 2016 cause there is 2 things that might happened: my government blocked servers that supports online play for these games or it is the company itsself banned my country ips

green estuary
#

ouch

forest hatch
#

dude thats so lame im sorry

green estuary
#

you aren't from belarus or russia by any chance, are you

ancient atlas
#

i'm russian

green estuary
#

yeah that's unfortunate

ancient atlas
#

at other side i'm glad i could play eternal without any internet loads between starting game on checkpoint lol

green estuary
#

there's always a silver lining

ancient atlas
#

there's probably a fix for that but i wanna concentrate on single player

crude sparrow
#

btw, kinda unrelated question but does anyone know if theres still a way to copy and paste doom eternal save game files onto another account?

forest hatch
#

i do not think so

crude sparrow
#

there used to be an official guide for it but it doesnt work anymore after the mod support update

forest hatch
#

i didnt even know that was possible. was it only on pc?

green estuary
#

join the modding server, there's some instructions there

crude sparrow
crude sparrow
forest hatch
#

aw poo

crude sparrow
#

I havent really played on console so I cant say

forest hatch
#

ill probably look around the modding discord then maybe ill find an answer

noble solar
#

can someone help me with the dark ages

green estuary
#

depends on what you need help with lol

noble solar
#

says my raytracing incompatible gpu

crude sparrow
#

I remember I did it pretty easily when the mod support thing was still in beta so I could play on my main save file in the modded version but then after they officially released it it doesnt work

forest hatch
#

hmm

green estuary
noble solar
#

dont even knowšŸ˜­

green estuary
#

what's your model

ancient atlas
#

what's your gpu

noble solar
#

i wish i knew

crude sparrow
#

if you go to task manager and performance you can check it there

noble solar
#

how do i check

#

ok

ancient atlas
#

if it's lower than 2060 then ouch

green estuary
#

when are people gonna start checking their hardware before they buy games man TheIntern

crude sparrow
#

btw does the handheld graphics setting also use raytracing?

#

how does the steam deck handle that

green estuary
#

yes
though it turns a lot of the RT components off or reduces them significantly (like reflections)

#

although the lighting is still handled solely by RT, so you can't really make the game not require RT

crude sparrow
#

I was under the impression that the steam deck doesnt support any raytracing at all

green estuary
#

no it has ray tracing

#

it's just not very good at it

ancient atlas
#

i wonder how steam deck goes at performance in tda

forest hatch
green estuary
noble solar
#

so it says my gpu memory is 0.6 out of 8.9

green estuary
#

which is honestly not bad at all

crude sparrow
#

I remember buying eternal and I couldn't get into the campaign because of chromatic abberation of all things šŸ˜­

green estuary
crude sparrow
#

I had a gtx 1050 back then idk why the chromatic abberation was the problem

green estuary

so what can i do bro

ancient atlas
#

well

restive condor
green estuary
ancient atlas
#

only upgrade gpu or get a ps5 (first variant is better)

green estuary
#

I'd honestly recommend refunding the game before any of that

crude sparrow
#

  1. refund the game and maybe buy it later when you get a better pc

  2. buy a better pc right now for like 1500~ bucks xD

  3. you could try game streaming services but idk how well that works exactly

green estuary
#

you shouldn't cash out on new hardware just cuz you can't run one game, even if said game is peak

harsh egret

#

doesnt microsoft have their own game streaming thing through gamepass now?

shit's getting old really fast

ancient atlas

green estuary
#

honestly just confine AI to text prompts and shit
because image and video generation is literally just done for shits and giggles with an enormous cost on resources

noble solar
#

alright so for the futer what should i buy to run dark ages?

crude sparrow
#

my friend bought their gpu from one of these guys who used it to mine a little and it runs like shit

ancient atlas

some people still on mining farms but not that bad as it was back at the day

harsh egret

thought those things were funny like 4-5 months ago but now what are we doing

green estuary
#

yeah they're funny until you know the costs of what you're getting

harsh egret
#

mhm

green estuary
#

AI for marketing is horrible for business, because nobody likes AI generated stuff and they'll boycott it

#

so why even use it in the first place? just because you're too cheap to pay artists?

harsh egret
#

theradbrad or smth

#

i remember his tda thumbnails

crude sparrow
harsh egret
#

just takes screenshots and asks ai to alter it like what the fuck are we doing bruh

green estuary
#

like imagine making AI generate a thumbnail for you when you have the fucking game installed

crude sparrow
#

those go for like what 400-600 bucks?

green estuary
#

just take a screenshot from the goddamn game, jesus christ

he literally has screenshots but he chooses to make it look like ass instead

it's like the company behind the subnautica games firing the 3 directors of subnautica 2 and then starts going around saying they're an AI first company šŸ’€ šŸ’€

green estuary
#

I couldn't believe it when I saw that headline

ancient atlas
crude sparrow
#

and allegedly the ceo even asked chatgpt how he can get out of paying them the 250 mil bonus

#

cant 100% confirm thats true but it does sound like something he'd do

#

man the first subnautica game is one of my favorites of all time I was really excited for the sequel too

#

I'm still probably gonna play it but I don't really know what to expect from it now

green estuary
#

wait is subnautica 2 even being made anymore?

harsh egret
#

for me i cant even think to support that company lol

ancient atlas
crude sparrow
green estuary
crude sparrow
#

was supposed to come out this year but they delayed it so they dont have to pay out the devs

green estuary
#

then why did they fire the directors

crude sparrow
harsh egret
#

cuz grok can take that role

green estuary
crude sparrow
#

those guys knew what they were trying to do with the delay so they wouldnt let them and they got fired

crude sparrow
harsh egret
#

i swear we need laws against shit like this

crude sparrow
#

they did that illegally too btw

#

they're getting sued lol

harsh egret
#

nah i just mean against this ai shithole in general

#

but damn lol

crude sparrow
#

they apparently had it in their contract when they bought the studio that they cant interfere with development of the sequel in any way

#

by firing the directors and delaying it they just did

#

so it's breach of contract

not after every shot because the weapon switch speed here kinda punishes that but pretty much when I can

Because it does not rhyme with wretch

Any word on the dlc?

frail bloom
#

What have you heard so far

#

Incase I don't say anything old

arctic pagoda
#

It'll be frozen, and there'll be one campaign and it'll be fairly large

frail bloom
#

Oh here lemme post smt for you

frail bloom
# arctic pagoda It'll be frozen, and there'll be one campaign and it'll be fairly large

All we know abt DLC so far:

GAMEPLAY:
ā€¢ 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)
-will increase mobility options
-new melee weapon(apparently rhymes with steer, it's a spear)
-the new things added change the game drastically and playing without them is hard to do for Hugo
EXPLORATION:
ā€¢ Exploration has good backtracking and is especially required in this dlc(to progress meaningfully)
-There will be a hub(most likely the Kreeds ship)
ā€¢ The puzzles are really fun

  • a tool(mechanic) given will lead to some interesting traversal puzzles, not necessarily skill based like Eternal(but seems to be a huge factor either way based on its emphasis, and that will influence the puzzles and movement options in this dlc)
    -lots of secrets and "optional" content that unlocks over time, not all at once when the campaign is finished
    -some Metroidvania-esque elements
    -only 70% of the dlc campaign can be finished on a firstmplaythrough, replays are needed to unlock all content
    ENEMIES:
    ā€¢ There will be new ai that shake things up
    -Hugo replied "interesting" to a comment hoping for an Archvile in dlc(hopefully flame boi returns)
    STORY:
    ā€¢ We will most likely be hunting the high council in dlc
    ā€¢ more chapters from the codeces in eternal and 2016 told, will take steps to build up to 2016
  • Hugo read "Wretch" outloud(said "not interesting")
    -Hugo said "armor" as a hint(praetor suit from wretch?)
  • the discovery of nekravol has a chance at happening(hugo replied "interesting")
    ā€¢ "Will there be cutscenes in dlc", Hugo's response, " It'll be different, but there will still be a story"
    -these cutscenes are infact more in line with 2016/more immersive and in first person
    -Marok is involved in the dlc(implies a larger role)
    -the witch won't be in the dlc
    -we will see more cosmic realm in the dlc
#

I love doing this

arctic pagoda
#

Nice

frail bloom
#

What interests you the most

arctic pagoda
#

I always forget the witch was a thing, specifically because the witch didn't do much

#

Most memorable thing she did,was slow down the doom slayer

frail bloom
#

I mean

#

Yeah

#

Basically

#

Her pact with hell is more important but that's more indirect

arctic pagoda
#

I know she's of the cosmic realm who had a pact with hell

#

I just want an improvement of the Atlan fights, really go all rock em sock em robots mode

frail bloom
arctic pagoda
#

Aight

#

Do you think that the only reason why the doom slayer is faster in the other games,is because he doesn't have his shield?

thin hound
#

Kind of sucks that we wonā€™t see the Slayer in cutscenes as much because his suit in this game is awesome

frail bloom
thin hound
#

When developers listen to the fans itā€™s great, unless you disagree with those fans on something

frail bloom
#

I think we'll have a mix of first person and 3rd person

thin hound
#

Ok good, but we kind of got that in the main game

frail bloom
#

No bc hugo equates it to 2016

#

Doesn't mean it's gonna be all like 2016, but he wants the story more immersive

violet zealot
harsh egret
#

And not revolved around the slayer enough

#

i think its really good they wanna make it so you feel the story more through the slayer (doesnt have to be only through first person cutscenes) again

#

imo

The stream for tonight is suppose to be doom 3 If i remember correctly ?

oh yeah lmao i completely forgot

Was it this stream?

yeah xD

frail bloom

Oh boi

harsh egret

i wonder if thats still the plan

#

we shall see

I would really like a stream on classic doom also i'ts a shame they never thought about that

frail bloom
#

I'd like a stream on 2016

#

Bc hugo can talk abt the development process more

harsh egret
#

im surprised they even said they are gonna do doom 3

earnest mulch
#

Did Hugo do a complete playthrough of 2016 during the Eternal streams era around 2021?

harsh egret
#

its stuff id expect like next year after dlc streams

earnest mulch
#

I remember him doing at least a few levels of 2016

harsh egret

#

Also @frail bloom for dlc info you forgot to mention the return of slayer gate combat type

frail bloom

I coulda sworn it was on topic abt master levels but I can't remember

#

Weā€™re so lucky to have the streams. Iā€™d like to see more developers do that sort of thing. That level of communication and interaction is missing from most companies

#

Hugo laughing and calling BS when he dies in game is great

Anyone order some DOOM merch for Christmas?

at best its diablo 4 expansion and small chance for them to reveal an ip collab with Doom and add the slayer as a playable paladin character with flail and shield
