[lusty tulip]

I jusr wanna fulfill my power fantasy lol

[naive wigeon]

theres still a lot more gold in the later levels

[lusty tulip]

I probably surpassed that amount already

[crude sparrow]

So usually even if you don't do everything you'll have enough to max everything by the end

[lusty tulip]

I don't do enough exploring smh

[naive wigeon]

i recommend u go for those red looking gem thingys as well

[lusty tulip]

Yes yes

[crude sparrow]

Only thing you can really miss is ruby's and wraith stones

[naive wigeon]

having a bunch of those will give u really good upgrades on ur guns

[lusty tulip]

Are wraith stones like token masteries

[naive wigeon]

a lot of them are used to unlock final upgrades so sort of yeah

[crude sparrow]

Basically yes, but they're mandatory to get the final upgrade for the gun

[lusty tulip]

Oh

How many are there in the game

[crude sparrow]

Only after that you'll get the mastery challenge which only gives you a skin in this game

[lusty tulip]

Enough dor each gun?

[crude sparrow]

One per each gun

[lusty tulip]

Cool

[marsh sleet]

do we have a tentative release date on the dlc

[lusty tulip]

I havent learned enough from silksong to explore everything bruh

[crude sparrow]

I'm actually playing silksong rn xD

Bought it since it's on sale

[lusty tulip]

W

Amazing game

Just way more infuriating than hollow knight

[crude sparrow]

Yeah I've noticed that

The beastfly chapel boss fight was so bad

And the 30 second runback after every death didn't help either

[lusty tulip]

I was way overturned when I fought it so I fot it 2nd try

[lusty tulip]

This guy isnt ready for ||groal the great (runback isnt too bad actually just get the secret bench)||

[harsh egret]

Nope, 2026 is all we know

[marsh sleet]

thanks mate

[swift pebble]

Why are my parry signals blue instead of green now on my main play through after making a different save file on an easier difficulty for my brother?

[fleet spruce]

check settings

[fading bone]

could have switched color blind mode

[ionic glade]

Always enjoy your breakdowns regarding the music of new Doom and your mixes for TDA. Maybe I need to revisit 2016’s OST as it has been a while since I did I full sit down listen of the whole thing.

It’s crazy how good TAG1 is considering they only had 30 days to do it but gave us nonstop bangers throughout it. Also I need to shout out David Levy again as the guy seems to be the forgotten one when people talk about the new doom games music. Not here on this discord of course but on YouTube vids and other Internet forums. All of his tracks in TAG1/2 range from good to phenomenal. Hulshult is great is in his own right (he was my most listened to artist on Spotify back in like 2020) but it sucks David’s work gets accidentally attributed to him when it comes to TAG.

[solar cairn]

Doom: The Happy Holiday’s Ages

[obtuse oyster]

I been sleeping on the skull crusher

its goated

[wheat sigil]

truth

[forest hatch]

i only use it for fodder hordes even tho i know it has more uses

[thin hound]

David Levy gave us Immora, arguably the heaviest DOOM music ever

[uneven basin]

do we have damage values for weapons yet?

[obsidian shard]

The Main Menu Music is sooo good!!!

hey our ranking is almost the same, we're totally twinsies

Personally I'd rank them

1. TDA

3. TAG1
4. Eternal
5. TAG2

[hazy pasture]

Nope not yet as far as I know

[harsh egret]

I think Katsu might have em

[hazy pasture]

Rust, Dust and Guts is peam

[warm ibex]

yeah I was about to say

unless he's just been making up numbers this whole time lmao

[hazy pasture]

Oh I'm intrigued

[harsh egret]

LOL

[hazy pasture]

Also greetings Hato and Horde!

[warm ibex]

[unkempt dragon]

Hi guys 👋

[obsidian shard]

Yo whats up

[harsh egret]

I think i'd rank the osts

1. tda
2. eternal
3. tag 1
4. tag 2
5. 2016

sup yall

[unkempt dragon]

2016 below Tag2💔

[harsh egret]

tbf its hella bangers there too

[unkempt dragon]

I'll allow it for now Hato

[harsh egret]

its just an order where the lowest one is still like a- tier lol

[unkempt dragon]

lol

[obsidian shard]

Its hard to rank em since their BANGERS

[unkempt dragon]

my list is not one y'all would like so I will keep it for myself 🤗

[harsh egret]

well now u gotta tell us

[unkempt dragon]

it'd just cause a mild argument and I hafta leave for work soon

[harsh egret]

[unkempt dragon]

fine I'll list it quick but won't be able to reply to the inevitable hate I will surely get in here lmao

[slender night]

DOOM 64 OST no. 1

[unkempt dragon]

MODERNS
Eternal
2016
TDA
TAG1
TAG2

This list is my own and for various reasons and does not reflect practical reasons and stats and other bullshit of optimized blah blah. Just my personal enjoyment; is subject to change in the future. lmao

[slender night]

Isn't this the most popular take I thought

[harsh egret]

seems like a fair ranking to me

[unkempt dragon]

Adding also as we all say.. this does not mean that ones ranked lower are any less in beauty or gameplay (imo) or quality. They're all AMAZING in their own right. It's a list by a small small margin within one another.

[harsh egret]

agreed!

[slender night]

I can only rank the base game OSTs because the DLC music is so god damn quiet the only ones I remember are that one part of Blood Swamps and the Samur theme

[fleet spruce]

PSX Doom is obviously the best

[obsidian shard]

hold up

Where DOOM3 at

[unkempt dragon]

It's like being the parent of quintuplets and having to rank them in order of your time with them at that moment in the day. Subject to change and you love them all dearly. Bad analogy but it's what I could think of atm. lol

[unkempt dragon]

modern doom, friendo

[slender night]

Very glad people rank the modern OSTs seperately because if I saw a ranking of every OST with DOOM II at the bottom my black heart would shatter

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/druski-rage-angry-annoyed-whatever-gif-5126333390325209476

[foggy fable]

Thats right doom 3 is a retro game its 21 years old

[harsh egret]

well i got bad news for ya...

[obsidian shard]

I Guess DOOM3 is classic, I mean it is in the Classic Collection.... But it doesn't feel old to me

[harsh egret]

but i guess we aint on the tda topic anymore so uh..

[hazy pasture]

Howdy again

[slender night]

Don't worry man "Modern Sonic" refers to games up to 27 years old, it's not just you that messes the definition of modern up

[unkempt dragon]

Ok kids I hafta go for now and trek to work in a snowstorm again. See y'all after a bit. Be nice to the goat Bob

[harsh egret]

See you LM

[obsidian shard]

what's the numbers of the Ethereal Daggers?

[hazy pasture]

I heard you got the weapon damage values

[unkempt dragon]

send prayers. It's only just begun. 10 more inches incoming today

[hazy pasture]

Prayge

[green estuary]

idk I know most of them
I have no idea what the chainshot does though
its damage files are confusing asf

[green estuary]

its damage scales up as you upgrade it
but at max level, each individual dagger deals 7k direct + 2k splash damage

[slender night]

How much health does the Cyberdemon have

[green estuary]

80k

[slender night]

Just so I can make a mental comparison

[green estuary]

leaders have 120k

[slender night]

Okay for a parry over 10% of health is very good

[harsh egret]

Yeah that's a lotta dmg lol

[green estuary]

but bear in mind this is a singular dagger

holy swarm summons a fuckton of them that all deal that much damage

[harsh egret]

Idk it's a lot of ambient

[alpine pilot]

DOOM 2026?

[frail bloom]

Yessir

[warm ibex]

january 8th was the date mentioned in passing, don't know if that holds any weight though. we'll see in a week

[harsh egret]

well duh we need the doom 3 stream hello

[harsh egret]

where was it mentioned

[warm ibex]

last stream

[slender night]

A fourth piece of media called DOOM would be so awesome for confusion's sake

[harsh egret]

ah

[warm ibex]

or the one before it, I don't really remember

[frail bloom]

It's happening

[warm ibex]

maybe I pulled that out of my ass. we'll find out on the 8th

[alpine pilot]

DOOM (2026)

[harsh egret]

unless they are tryina escape our proof of their promise again

[frail bloom]

No they showed video proof lmao

[slender night]

If you are wrong Horde we riot

That Hexen release at QuakeCon was correct, I get to inflate my ego here, I was right in predicting that

[frail bloom]

"Erm I perceive the entire master level campaign at october, possibley november🤓 🤓 "

"Wait and see"

[harsh egret]

Theres gonna be ppl actually believing I said that confidently smh

[frail bloom]

Bruh you did!!!

I'm that people

[harsh egret]

Ok bad wording, I just never said that its confirmed

always was my speculation

[frail bloom]

Ok but you were so sure

[harsh egret]

yes.

[frail bloom]

Sooooo sure

[harsh egret]

i wanted to believe

[warm ibex]

and I can't fault you for that

[frail bloom]

It's alr I expected a trailer at tga but that didn't happen either

[warm ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/hl2-hl3-half-life-3-hopium-hope-gif-7246120153840726923

like tbf i had fair reasons

but the devs have other priorities

[frail bloom]

We had reasons but reasons ain't enough yeah

[harsh egret]

and i cant predict that

[frail bloom]

Could be any day

[harsh egret]

trailer any moment now

[frail bloom]

That's the dev direct I recognize that date

I remember waiting for dark ages itself

My buddy was making fun of me the entire time lmao

"You waiting for that doom game??"

[harsh egret]

also when they said they have so many games that they wont even fit into the dev direct that kinda sounds like no tda at the dev direct to me

[alpine pilot]

smite the non-believers

[warm ibex]

I hope no one here goes into the 2026 dev direct hoping for TDA dlc lol

[harsh egret]

yeah no lol

[frail bloom]

I don't think anyone is

[harsh egret]

the games will be confirmed early jan

[warm ibex]

there's that one fella that talks about it often

[harsh egret]

maybe within a week

[frail bloom]

That fella is

[harsh egret]

lmao ik who hes talkin about

[frail bloom]

Ohhh

[alpine pilot]

[frail bloom]

Wait Ik

[harsh egret]

it was Polech

jk

[frail bloom]

"I pray for muh trailer my hugo savior"

[alpine pilot]

where polech

[warm ibex]

should be confirmed next week. but to play devils advocate, they've had surprise reveals in the past

[frail bloom]

It's this guy

[harsh egret]

at the dev direct?

[warm ibex]

yeah. smaller things that weren't announced beforehand

[harsh egret]

dont they just have a few slots and they confirm which games they are?

i havent watched them before this year's so i have no idea

[warm ibex]

I can't remember what happened last year, but the 2024 dev direct had four announced slots and ended with five games shown

[slender night]

I remember waiting for DOOM: Year Zero

[harsh egret]

ahhh would be cool to have the dlc as a fun surprise at the end then

[frail bloom]

I remember that too but all I can think of is a headline

[harsh egret]

kinda makes sense too

but still not gonna keep my hopes up

[warm ibex]

my biggest fumble was thinking Year Zero was canned and replaced by Quake

[harsh egret]

bruh when i heard about the leak i went crazy

[slender night]

To be fair everyone thought that the job listing perfectly described a new Quake game

[warm ibex]

Hugo had also talked a lot about how they want to do something new with each game and I was like "no way they squeeze a prequel out of modern doom or ruin TAG 2's ending by making a sequel right after. That 'something new' has to be Quake"

I didn't want a prequel or mech battles prior to TDA's announcement but I'm very glad we got both lol

[obsidian shard]

Dev Direct is looking more possible from all the "Leaks"

[slender night]

And it was actually RAGE 3 haha we live in the best timeline haha ha ha....

[harsh egret]

leaks? where leaks

[slender night]

All jokes aside I am VERY happy with TDA and I love DOOM but I also love Quake, Hexen and RAGE. I want something new from those too...

[warm ibex]

check the pipe beneath your sink...

[harsh egret]

oh shi how u know

[frosty roost]

horde!!

[warm ibex]

marshal!!

[obsidian shard]

Dev Direct will most likely have Forza 6, Fable, just Xbox games in general and Possibly 2 Unannounced titles

[slender night]

The dev direct will feature video game

[harsh egret]

ah

yeah that i heard about but if its titles then its new games

which is what the dev directs have been about

unrelated but i hope fable is good

[warm ibex]

I hope all the games shown are good, even if tda doesn't pop up

[frosty roost]

@obsidian shard hi jay!!

wait when's dev direct?

[warm ibex]

sometime next month

[obsidian shard]

Howdy Marsh!, near the end of January

[hard thistle]

i cant for the life of me find the last secret in the holy city of aratum

[obsidian shard]

Bottom of the map?

[hard thistle]

i know it has a cult circle in it

[hard thistle]

i already found both secret landing spots

[hard thistle]

because im also missing 1 cult circle

[obsidian shard]

It must be the One where you get the SSG then!

There's so many secrets in that one area

[hard thistle]

ill double check that area thanks

i have a non rtx card, i have dark ages on gamepass, does the method of opening the .exe in administrator mode still work?
im playing the game on nightmare with everything set to max difficulty....on xbox cloud

nvm it got patched, devs can go and fuck themselves

[slender night]

Ray of sunshine

[obsidian shard]

What

[green estuary]

me when I download a game I know I don't have the hardware for

"it's the devs' fault"

I can't believe they'd make you waste your money like that, smh my head

they left the server lol

[warm ibex]

ah lol

[gleaming vortex]

[hard thistle]

im genuinely losing it

i cant find it

it doesnt seem to be anywhere

[unkempt dragon]

💀

[frosty roost]

LM!!

[unkempt dragon]

Hello!!

[hard thistle]

fml it was on the red key island

THIS WHOLE TIME

[hard thistle]

its your responsibility as the consumer to make sure you can run the game properly in the intended way before you purchase it, it is in no way inconsiderate of id to patch an exploit that can make you run the software on insufficient hardware, which could potentially damage your computer

[green estuary]

don't waste your time
they left already

[hard thistle]

oh

[slender night]

Not an expert but wouldn't "Xbox Cloud" imply they're trying to run it via cloud gaming and hardware shouldn't matter in that case?

[foggy fable]

While all for people playing games and such, if your hardware isn’t strong enough…it unfortunately isn’t strong enough and needs to be upgraded

[slender night]

Them lashing out was stupid eitherway though lol

[foggy fable]

It sounds like they found an exploit to run the game from gamepass on the pc using the exe

But it was since patched and could only use the xcloud version

[slender night]

I see

[foggy fable]

Since the game required an rtx card it won’t let you download without one. But the workaround would

I mean it still wouldn’t run but idk

Can’t wait for dark ages switch 2 port.

[hard thistle]

like i get the feeling i really do, i was on a macbook pro 2012 until this time last year, but it is still not the developers fault you cant run a game

[slender night]

It could be if it's poorly optimized and that's why it can't run, but that's very clearly not the case here, this is id Software we're talking about

[obsidian shard]

"Push tech to its limit while being optimized" is how I see id,

[versed quarry]

I don't even think that's possible

[hard thistle]

hell id actually say the dark ages runs better on my steam deck than eternal does

[obsidian shard]

Can be, Switch 2 has RT and Well TDA can run on handhelds

[slender night]

The Dark Ages runs better on my Xbox Series S than a port of a 2018 game on performance mode does lol

[foggy fable]

Oh it’s VERY well possible

[hard thistle]

i kinda hope the dark ages gets a multiplayer mode, like 1 on 1 slayer duels or something

[slender night]

I'm indifferent to it honestly they've given us so many peak multiplayer modes I'm fine with TDA dropping them

[versed quarry]

deathmatch would actually kinda cool with parrying and all

[harsh egret]

from what ive heard it will happen, tho i think its likely gonna be at 30 fps

[foggy fable]

It’s steamdeck verified, runs on Xbox series S perfectly. And the switch 2 has dlss support

Cyberpunk on switch 2 is some voodoo magic and so is ff7 remake.
Re9 is also coming

And don’t forget Indiana jones has been confirmed to come to switch 2, and it’s more demanding than dark ages

[foggy fable]

Which would be more than fine. A locked 30 is very playable

[slender night]

I only personally start noticing low framerates if it's at like 20fps

[harsh egret]

for handheld standards im sure yeah, imo i could never play on that

[foggy fable]

I’ve played 2016 eternal dragons dogma monster hunter and so many more on 30fps. As long as it’s locked with no dips it’s quite steady

[hard thistle]

from experience this game is actually surprisingly smooth at 30 frames

[harsh egret]

for me anything below 80 feels kinda rough

[versed quarry]

Anything below 80 FPS?

[harsh egret]

yes?

[foggy fable]

It’s an odd number I think I the question

[hard thistle]

but 80 doesnt match the refresh rate

[foggy fable]

Since 90 would be like the next number jump

But usually HZ is 30-40-60-90-120-144

[harsh egret]

yeah ik its oddly specific but 90 feels better to me to a degree where its acceptable, tho i get more than that

[slender night]

Anything above 60 feels rough to me lol

[versed quarry]

What kinda framerate snob couldn't handle anything below 80 FPS?

[slender night]

It's too smooth, it kinda gives me motion sickness

[harsh egret]

idk what to tell ya, 80 is my limit :d

[foggy fable]

I only like higher fps for a competitive game

Single payer 30 is more than fine

[harsh egret]

depends on the pace of the game

[hard thistle]

probably has motion sickness problems or headaches

[harsh egret]

eternal 90 fps to me would be unacceptable

tda 90 fps is good

[versed quarry]

ohhh

[slender night]

I play a lot of oldies so 30fps is normal to me

[harsh egret]

re9 or smth 50-60 fps would probably be completly fine

thing is im used to 360hz monitor and thousands of hours poured into competitive games at 300+ fps so yk

[hard thistle]

this feels like when you see someone fall and scrape their knee on the sidewalk and instead of getting back up they just start crying

[slender night]

...how

[harsh egret]

im lost lol

[hard thistle]

minor inconvenience ruins their whole day and you just kinda look at them like how did you make it this far

[harsh egret]

what

[slender night]

Man

[foggy fable]

I could see why the pace of a fast paced game may not work on lower fps if used to competitive high fps

[slender night]

😭???
There wasn't either any day being ruined or a minor inconvenience at all

[hard thistle]

im bad at analogies

[harsh egret]

yh idk i think it makes sense especially if i said it depends on the pace of the game

[hard thistle]

i just dont understand how anyone couldnt stand anything under 80

like

id play at 12 fps if i had to

[harsh egret]

depends on the game bruh

also why would u play the game in the form of a powerpoint presentation

i can manually spam slides faster than 12 per second

[hard thistle]

i would simply thug it out

[harsh egret]

now that i just dont believe

but again, i can understand 30 fps but if its hard for u to understand where im coming from for me then idk what else to tell ya

[brittle finch]

I’m fine with like 40 in TDA

[brittle finch]

Anything under 30 is a bit terrible

But depending on the game 25 is actually fine

Hard to believe for those weirdos with a 5090 who need 120 FPS on max settings or otherwise they won’t play the game

But GTA San Andreas ran at 25 FPS on the PS2 and it’s one of the best selling games and the PS2 is one of the best selling consoles

[harsh egret]

i mean if u spent alot of money for an insane pc then surely u want good framerates

[brittle finch]

Graphics are just advancing too fast for GPUs honestly

That and Unreal Engine 5 is ass

[harsh egret]

or maybe its the other way around 🙃

spoiler alert, it is

nvidia is slowing down on raw performance advancements because of framegen

[foggy fable]

It’s less so graphics

And more so cpu

Since people want more immersive games with more stuff going on, all of that is cpu bound

[thin hound]

60 FPS is almost always what I set games to

[obsidian shard]

We have the same convo a lot I notice

[slender night]

Repetition is fun, that's why we love DOOM: The Dark Ages
-# Don't skin me I'm kidding

When you talk here a lot you notice a lot of repeating convos

Not that it's a problem

[solar spoke]

I have returned, what's up fellow humans?

[versed quarry]

Smart. Reverse psychology totally always works.

[obsidian shard]

How bout this one
Which of the 3 Modern games has the best HUD?

[versed quarry]

DOOM: The Dark Ages

Just because they brought back the HUDface

[mystic barn]

Quakecon 2018 Eternal HUD is where it’s at

[frail bloom]

Idk 2016 ig

Or dark ages

[twilit stone]

i actually can't decide, i like em all tbh, even the racecar one from Eternal

well actually I don't like the fact you still can't remove many things from TDA's hud so TDA last I guess

[random sand]

I like TDA's one. The classic face returning is a nice touch

[warm ibex]

horde mode gaming poll ahh question

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/gülmek-komik-gif-12950352696137374051

[warm ibex]

personally I think the QC 2018 hud is still probably my favorite. I really like the TDA one, especially the Slayer face

but it's a tad... I dunno, basic maybe?

[obsidian shard]

Nice to see some QC 2018 Enjoyers!

[warm ibex]

it's a damn good hud! not that Eternal's launch hud is bad by any means

[obsidian shard]

Something between Eternal and TDA's would def be my fav

[warm ibex]

I think I've said it before but I really hope the Slayer status face becomes a staple going forward. to me it really is one of those things that makes it Doom

like how the Slayer's exposed arms turn a space suit into a Slayer suit

not that you can't go without those elements, but they're small things that really tie it back to the franchise's roots

[obsidian shard]

The hud, biceps and of course the guns, is what makes DOOM... DOOM to me

[warm ibex]

I like how they tackled the changes to iconic guns in TDA

[obsidian shard]

The lever action SSG

[warm ibex]

the plasma rifle too. quite different from the other modern iterations but still very much a Doom plasma rifle

[obsidian shard]

I do like The RL designs from Eternal and TDA where we can see the Rocket

[warm ibex]

for visuals and gameplay

[warm ibex]

I really like that too

although I do think the non-empowered rockets feel a little too weak in TDA

[obsidian shard]

The Gauss Canon and BFG of 2016 is straight peak designs

I'm not really a fan of the other designs due to the DOOM 4-esq design

[warm ibex]

I'm pretty iffy on the weapon designs of 2016, even the Gauss Canon and BFG

[obsidian shard]

Since using empowered shot more, I feel the same

[warm ibex]

I would greatly prefer much higher standard rocket damage with significantly lower ammo and fire rate

the busted lock on burst makes up for the general lack of raw power in Eternal's launcher, would be cool if TDA's was the polar opposite

slow as hell but ultra powerful. Not at all bad as is though, and empowered rocket is crazy strong

[uneven dragon]

dark ages

[obsidian shard]

Fr, I do enjoy the larger splash tho, also gives back Good hp

[warm ibex]

true true, the healing is peak

they came up with some damn good upgrades

for most of the arsenal, not just RL

[rose cargo]

i love it when ammo isn’t a rarity and requires using the chainsaw to get more! feels like doom again

i can walk around punch ppl for ammo but i can also just find it lying on the ground :D

[warm ibex]

as much as I like both the chainsaw and melee ammo regain systems I honestly wouldn't mind if the TDA sequel utilized ground pickups

maybe enemies would occasionally drop ammo upon death too, like in 2016

[rose cargo]

same

i hated that chainsaw was the only way to get ammo pickups, really i hate "needing" to kill enemies a certain way to get ammo but if we got ammo drops on enemy death id love it

[crude sparrow]

doom eternal had ammo pickups on the ground tho

arguably more of them lying around than in 2016

also the ammo that dropped from demons upon death in 2016 was so little it barely even made a differnce

if you needed ammo you'd still use the chainsaw 90% of the time

even though if you utilize your whole arsenal like in eternal instead of just using one or two guns you basically had infinite ammo in 2016

[warm ibex]

this is very true

[warm ibex]

I actually don't think that's true

I very rarely ever use the chainsaw when playing 2016, ground pickups and death drops are usually more than enough to get you through the entire game

as long as you don't just use the SSG lol, like you said

[crude sparrow]

yeah you already have so much ammo and if you actually use more than 2 guns you basically never run out

chainsaw just becomes an instakill tool atp

to be fair that's how I used it in eternal too, I'd save up my charges until I had 3 and then use all of them to take one heavy demon down

[warm ibex]

yeah, and that's why I don't like using it. glad that TDA has non-instant kill ammo options

not that it really matters since you chew through fodder anyways

[crude sparrow]

dreadmace xD

[warm ibex]

I don't use it lol

[crude sparrow]

but yeah ammo kinda just comes to you constantly in tda

as long as you use melee you'll never run out

[warm ibex]

also worth mentioning that 2016 has the ammo boost rune, which increases the amount of ammo enemies dropped. also has a high chance of dropping BFG ammo pickups once upgraded too

[crude sparrow]

yeah but I think that makes the game kinda trivial

[warm ibex]

I don't think it's any different than tda

[crude sparrow]

infinite bfg shots make the game too easy

[warm ibex]

oh I thought you meant the ammo thing

yeah I don't care for the modern doom BFGs

infinite bfg ammo is cool (and definitely fits 2016) but it's entirely unnecessary in a game where you practically have infinite ammo anyways

[warm ibex]

may not be a popular opinion but I like the melee ammo system a lot more than Eternal's chainsaw for ammo type deal. feels like it rewards you for playing the game right

[crude sparrow]

yeah of course I agree

doesnt lock you into an animation every time you run out of ammo

same reason why they "got rid of" glory kills

[warm ibex]

I prefer all of it

the unsynced glory kills, the melee for ammo

all feels a lot smoother imo. and I think more people would agree if they weren't so attached to the glory kill animations

[crude sparrow]

those people are just outright wrong

the glory kill animations are still in the game

[obsidian shard]

Plus we have new ones, the Glory Strikes

[crude sparrow]

I do wish the glory strikes had some nicer animations sometimes tho

[warm ibex]

I wouldn't mind if there were zero synced animations in tda 👀 but I like them and won't complain about them

[crude sparrow]

I really like the uppercut one but most of the time is just a generic shield smack or kick

[warm ibex]

im fine with that

[harsh egret]

The ragdolls are hilarious

And even better now after the later updates

[warm ibex]

imo it's not really any different than spending 500 hours seeing the same chainsaw animations in eternal. or constantly seeing the same weapon firing animations in every game

[warm ibex]

the whole gore and physics system is so peak

[crude sparrow]

idk I just wish they were a little more unique sometimes

like maybe quickly cut the demon in half with the shield saw or hit him with the gun or something

would still be just as fast as the normal glory strikes just more unique animations

[frail bloom]

To play devils advocate, those animation compilations make for a really cool montage

That's abt it but

They were hype for their time

[calm pewter]

I love all the demon types in the game

[frail bloom]

Functionally, this new system works better, but I don't blame those who miss glorykills

[crude sparrow]

yeah but I was talking about the people who complained about the glory kills not being in tda, even though they literally still are so idk why they're even complaining

[frail bloom]

Well tbf, it's like 2 per demon, and it only goes for heavies and superheavies

Plus they're all very similar

Cut by chainsaw, or tear open the heart

[obsidian shard]

Yes give the fodder gk

[frail bloom]

No why

[crude sparrow]

while I like seeing doomguy actively tearing the demons apart, I have to agree that getting locked into an animation all the time gets annoying after a while and that tda's glory strikes just make the combat smoother

[frail bloom]

They're fodder

But I thought they coulda randomized them maybe?

[crude sparrow]

again, I only wish there were maybe more unique glory strike animations

[frail bloom]

If you gk for the front, you can get 3 diff animations

So it can keep the system smooth without adding more angles

But that takes work that they thought wasn't worth it

[harsh egret]

I like how the fodder barely even survive shit, if u jump they die, if u shoot them once with almost anything they die, if u shield bash they all die

So u would just never be able to glory kill them

[obsidian shard]

[frail bloom]

And I never really get swarmed when a gk happens

Not yet

[warm ibex]

gun butt animations would be cool for sure. since TDA takes a different approach to synced glory kills I would've liked to see some that integrate guns instead of just melee

[frail bloom]

Or they could've had synced animations for berserk I forgot

That was the perfect chance

Did not appreciate their approach for berserk in this game

[crude sparrow]

yeah I need more variation

also utlizing the shield saw more would be cool

[frail bloom]

I liked ones where the slayer slaps demons with his shield

Like the caco

[crude sparrow]

the uppercut is probably my favorite out of all of them

[frail bloom]

There's an uppercut gk? Or you mean the melee animation

[spark elm]

Is there no second glory kill animation for Cyberdemons?

[crude sparrow]

glory strike

[frail bloom]

Gotcha

[warm ibex]

semi late reply but it's not exactly like 2016 or Eternal had a shit ton of super original glory kills. an overwhelming number of them are things like wrist blade slashes, punches or head stomps

[crude sparrow]

okay but the doom blade was cool as fuck

[spark elm]

Welp I guess there isn’t

[warm ibex]

there could be a larger number of them per demon but I don't necessarily think the method of execution is the problem in TDA

[spark elm]

like getting a glory kill from the back of the cybderdemon, guess that isn’t a thing

[warm ibex]

I do agree! don't get me wrong

[crude sparrow]

now doomguy has a whole sawblade and yet he only uses it in the glory kill animations

saw a hellknight or imp in half as a glory strike or something

[frail bloom]

You had the slayer sticking bones into demons, prob cutting off different limbs, ripping spines, stabbing. You got a lot of them repeating but less is less. If you only have two per demon, it starts to get really noticeable. A lot of them do follow a formula but they had more variation. I think what ppl were stuck up on is the fact that this game has so much melee weapons. Flail, shield, fists, dreadmace, so that would've made for some interesting variety.

[warm ibex]

an idea I had pre-launch was being able to kick the shield through demons and into whatever is behind it if it was embedded while they entered GK state

still think that would be an awesome upgrade

[frail bloom]

What I had is a meter that charges up through glory strikes

[spark elm]

Missed a collectible on belly of the beast on this rerun… what the heck

[frail bloom]

Then the glory kill gives extra benefits

[crude sparrow]

that would've been sick tbh

[frail bloom]

But idk how they'll handle it going forward

[crude sparrow]

also I think shield throw should just saw through a heavy demon if he's in glory kill state

[frail bloom]

Ye good luck doing that to a manc

Or caco

[warm ibex]

that was also back when I assumed that melee weapons would have unique benefits. like the flail being able to knock riders off of pinkies while nothing else could reach it. while maybe the gauntlets were the only thing that could kick the shield through enemies

[frail bloom]

But ye this new system, good

Berserk, not so much

[crude sparrow]

I think it still would've worked

look at the destroyer blade in eternal

[frail bloom]

Do you mean cut through or cut in half

Idk ig

[warm ibex]

yeah I'm not too big on berserk in TDA. Still waiting for them to turn the pickup into a black health pack reskin in a modern doom. one day...

[crude sparrow]

if they're already in glory kill state, instead of having to finish them off with a melee or shoot them just throw your shield and cut them in half like they're fodder

[frail bloom]

Ye lol. I was thinking that's where you can have glory kills because they're optional.

[warm ibex]

honestly that's not a bad idea if they keep the unsynced system going forward. no synced animations by default but you can pick up a berserk pack decently frequently and do traditional executions

[frail bloom]

Ye doesn't sound too bad

I kinda wonder why they didn't try to do that

[crude sparrow]

the berserk in tda is kinda like quad damage and the speed boost power up in one

[frail bloom]

It's pretty much nothing yeah

Not interesting really

Crap it's dec 28th

[crude sparrow]

also I just remembered you can do something similar to this with the impaler

if a demon is weak you can shoot them with the impaler and pin them into another demon

only falters them tho

[spark elm]

Where was the second collectible in belly?

[crude sparrow]

have you done the secret encounter in the stomach?

I think one is in there

[spark elm]

I have that, that has the toy.

[hard thistle]

just figured out how to take both mancubus arms off without killing it

get declawed idiot

[spark elm]

oh codex is the second collectible

[wintry forge]

lol I used to think that the Impaler could knock off the Riders from their Pinkies

[warm ibex]

now THAT would be cool

[wintry forge]

I assumed it until I played. I think it was from a trailer maybe, maybe because the trailers showed it nailing heavies into walls, but the first time I used the Impaler on Pinkies I was a little confused lmao

[warm ibex]

I was a little surprised when I was able to knock the rider off with only the gauntlets

[crude sparrow]

doesnt shooting the rider count as a headshot?

so technically you can knock him off but only after he already went into glory kill state xD

[wintry forge]

Honestly I’m not sure. It’s definitely the “weak point” but I don’t know if it’s as effective as a headshot

[spark elm]

Chapter 21 will truly put me to the test if I wanna complete this save without dying.

Ahzrak (enhanced version) do be a jerk.

[crude sparrow]

dreadmace makes him so easy

[spark elm]

Guess I’ll use that.

Since I kinda figured out how to complete reckoning without dying, hope to complete final battle without dying as well.

[crude sparrow]

should've just done a UN run at that point xD

[spark elm]

Well true.

They gotta put at least one more save spot in, space for pandemonium and ultra nightmare for me.

Let’s say I rerun again and complete UN, do I have to still do pandemonium? Well of course.

[crude sparrow]

idk why they only let you have 3 save files

wow I'm replaying doom 2016 rn and the super shotgun feels so weak compared to the tda one

[spark elm]

Even on nightmare, the super shotgun can still 1-shot the stalker imps.

[crude sparrow]

fully maxed it puts a hell knight into glory kill state in one shot

[spark elm]

yep

it’s soooo insane lol

[crude sparrow]

• with a charged shield bash you can even one shot a mancubus

[spark elm]

Whiplash into dazed state

Few shots on cyber’s gun gets it to be struck

[brittle finch]

I deleted Dark Ages cus I was tired of dying because of shit out of my control

[fickle ibex]

what happened?

[brittle finch]

The higher difficulties in the game (nightmare included tbh) are fucking bunk

[crude sparrow]

I feel like this is probably the easiest doom game out the modern trilogy

[fickle ibex]

really? I mean my main save file is on ultra violence but I made another one which is on nightmare, it’s not really that hard

[brittle finch]

I just got tired after 2 playthroughs and like 70 hours

[brittle finch]

Yeah cool, but I don’t remember dying because my shield broke in the other games

It’s such a dumb gimmick

[fickle ibex]

yea definitely because like in eternal on hurt me plenty I got kicked in the ass a lot by demons while in TDA nightmare is pretty easy

[brittle finch]

It’s not “hard”

You just can’t fucking control anything

[crude sparrow]

man I dont wanna be toxic or anything but all I can say here is "skill issue" I'm sorry

just dont let your shield get broken idk

[brittle finch]

Hit scan

[fickle ibex]

I mean shield breaking is a good feature, it makes you just do something other than block 24/7, but there are some times when it breaks really easily like when the revenant is in that ethereal state those floating skulls absolutely DEMOLISH your shield

[brittle finch]

I’ve already beaten the game on nightmare and barely died, but when I died it genuinely just wasn’t my fault

[warm ibex]

I absolutely do not believe that for a single second

[crude sparrow]

hitscan is pretty annoying I agree with you there but that's just basic threat prioritizing

[brittle finch]

It should make you take reduced damage to block honestly and make you take no damage to parry and a durability system shouldn’t be a thing

[brittle finch]

Cyber demons have hitscan 💀

I think the game is good

[crude sparrow]

they dont use it when you're close to them

[naive wigeon]

yk most of the maps have cover that lets u not get shot at by hitscan enemies

[warm ibex]

that can be instantly negated by approaching the enemy, which is the way you're supposed to take them down

[brittle finch]

I know

[warm ibex]

then what's the complaint

[brittle finch]

The game just makes me a little angry 😭

It’s fun and all

[crude sparrow]

I'd get complaining about dying to actual bugs like your shield refusing to function or something

[fickle ibex]

that’s what I hate most about them like in certain areas I feel likes it’s impossible to kill all of them cuz there’s a cyberdemon and 3000 mancubuses and I can’t kill the cyberdemon first cuz then I’ll get killed by the mancubus but I also can’t kill the mancubuses cuz then the cyberdemon will kill me with his damn machine gun

[brittle finch]

They SPAM cyber mancubi endgame

lol

[warm ibex]

armored mancs are rune fuel

[brittle finch]

It isn’t usually an issue cus they’re genuinely easier to kill than unarmored ones

[fickle ibex]

I haven’t beaten the game yet I’m on chapter 12, but still they spam cyber mancubi a lot starting from like siege part 2 I think?

[brittle finch]

I miss the old VR headset design lmao

[warm ibex]

you were goated for this

[obsidian shard]

ty goat

You are goatd for your content,

[frail bloom]

Well yay free space for other games

Until that dlc comes out

Ain't no one passing up peak

[crude sparrow]

imagine if they go the tag 2 way again and the trailer says the dlc is dropping the next day

[frail bloom]

Would not like that lmao

[warm ibex]

same lol

[frail bloom]

Take their time ofc

But like c'mon now

[warm ibex]

gotta have that hype

[frail bloom]

Ye especially for content creators

[warm ibex]

trailer a day before release just doesn't get me invested

[frail bloom]

No time to digest

Or theorize like crazy

[warm ibex]

no time to anticipate

to build hype

[frail bloom]

I'm fine with their current marketing strategy

[warm ibex]

gotta be able to look forward to something. makes you want it more, and appreciate it when it arrives

[fleet spruce]

Trailer is gonna arrive... Any second now...

[warm ibex]

almost like the trailer will arrive on Tuesday, February 10th 2026 at 11:00 am EST

crazy stuff

[foggy fable]

👀

[obsidian shard]

[hard thistle]

i feel like the story would have been received better if it were fleshed out a little more and released as a netflix show or something instead of cutscenes in a video game

[frail bloom]

Ye cuz they would do that

https://tenor.com/view/lil-yachty-drake-laptop-duh-gif-8033838636860661307

[crude sparrow]

I dont think doom would work well as a show

hard to have a main character that doesnt speak like at all

[frail bloom]

Nah that dino and caveman show

What abt that one

[hard thistle]

im not saying they should have done it or it would have been good but that it would have been better received

[lime badge]

https://youtu.be/tMl-D6P8KoY?si=gWL5cflTnJxNBK48

[crude sparrow]

the story is supposed to revolve around doomguy but that would be kinda difficult when all he does is kill demons and then aura farm

[frail bloom]

So what's the game supposed to have??

They already released a one hour compilation anyway

I get what you're saying, hard to get invested with all the rippin and tearin for some ppl

But a show😐

[foggy fable]

I think any story would be better received fleshed out properly but I think dark ages does it quite well

At least leagues better than eternal

[crude sparrow]

what 😭

eternal's story was peak idk what you're talking about

[frail bloom]

We be using peak for anything

C'mon now🙏

[foggy fable]

The intern rushing up to the doom slayer “Hayden was the seraphim”

Ah yes peak

[hard thistle]

eternals story was not peak im sorry

[frail bloom]

Are we gonna rip and tear slayer???

[versed quarry]

TAG watching you write this

[crude sparrow]

ALL OF THAT WAS TAG 😭

[frail bloom]

*part of eternal

[versed quarry]

Like I liked it, but it was awful

[frail bloom]

Only thing I liked was the ending

Hard to mess that up

[crude sparrow]

doom 3:

[frail bloom]

[foggy fable]

Also eternals story randomly appears years after 2016 with no explanation to his massive flying space castle or so much

[frail bloom]

Would you consider doom 3 to even have an ending besides it ending

[foggy fable]

It’s ending is in roe

[frail bloom]

I haven't finished roe

[foggy fable]

You should it has the ending

[frail bloom]

I will

[foggy fable]

Roe is doom 3 at its best

[frail bloom]

Cuz doom 3 is

[crude sparrow]

they said they were gonna make a comic that explains what happens inbetween the 2 games but then scrapped it.
though recently hugo talked about a possible standalone game for that

[foggy fable]

I know I wanted that comic so bad

[frail bloom]

Anything be possible in hugo's brain

[crude sparrow]

lets just hope he delivers as well 😭

[frail bloom]

Don't expect nothing

He just says stuff

[crude sparrow]

do you think we'll get to wear the praetor suit again in another game in the future?

[foggy fable]

I mean this depends how far ago dark ages is

There is a MASSSSSIVE undisclosed amount of time between dark ages and 2016

We could have an almost infinite number of doom games

[crude sparrow]

I doubt we'll be wearing it in this dlc

[foggy fable]

Then we could have a game between 2016 and eternal

And then we have potential after eternal games too

[versed quarry]

Probably if theres a game set during the Slayer's rage through Hell

[crude sparrow]

I feel like I theres still room for at least 3 more games in the series

[foggy fable]

Also I would assume. The dark ages dlc revolves around the betrayers son being sacrificed into the icon of sin

Since we see the son more prominent at the end of the main campaign

And that’s when we will see him become the betrayer

[crude sparrow]

1. a prequel to even the dark ages where they show the slayer's recruitment into the argenta and actually becoming the slayer (I know we already have the flashbacks in eternal and codex entries but a game showing all of this would be sick)
2. a game after the dark ages focusing on the sentinel civil war, ending with the slayer being betrayed and stranded in hell, later entombed and leading into 2016
3. the one inbetween 2016 and eternal

[versed quarry]

I doubt that first one happening

They could've just started with that

[crude sparrow]

I don't think so

[foggy fable]

I mean we could say the same about not getting dark ages even tho it went back in time

Order doesn’t seem to matter much

[crude sparrow]

lets say all of these games are possible to happen right, it makes the most sense to release dark ages first out of all them

[versed quarry]

wdym

[crude sparrow]

it already has characters we know like novik and valen, also dark ages has a fresh story we didnt know anything about, meanwhile the prequel one was already pretty much told to us in the eternal codexes

so some people would've been disappointed that the very next game just reuses the story already explained in eternal

[fleet spruce]

some people are going to be disappointed either way 👍

[crude sparrow]

I think id would rather make something new than stuff we already know about

[rose cargo]

am i the only person who feels the ssg isn’t as useful/strong as it was in the previous games

i know i can one shot battle knights with it but considering how semi fast u have to play it doesnt feel worth pulling out to kill them with

[fleet spruce]

It was ridiculously powerful at launch, now it's more balanced

[rose cargo]

hmm. i feel the combat shotgun is WAY more powerful than it was in eternal

i already have it mastered

[crude sparrow]

I'm replaying 2016 rn and it feels like the ssg is so weak compared to how it is in dark ages

[rose cargo]

ngl different games and different styles of play equate to different strengths and weaknesses

[fleet spruce]

the burst shot is so cool, i love it

[crude sparrow]

everything just dies faster in dark ages, but to balance it out theres more enemies

[rose cargo]

im using the flame upgrades

for my combat shotgun

combat shotgun feels extremely strong even with the flame shot upgrades, it’s the perfect starter weapon to start attempting to maximize damage (and i love the chain shot)

[crude sparrow]

I like using the combat shotgun

the triple shot and armor it drops is very useful

[rose cargo]

the problem i’m having really is just how some weapons feel not usable in any situation

[crude sparrow]

for the chainshot I actually think it's kinda lacking

[rose cargo]

grenade launcher and for gods sake i can’t find somewhere to use the ravager and pulvarizer

chain shot is actually fairly balanced in damage but i find it more usable in certain fights than the former

[crude sparrow]

does good damage + breaks armor easily at range but, why do that when I can just shield bash into an enemy and blow them in half with the ssg

[rose cargo]

might try to do that, although for the bigger monsters that does not feel super useful

that would be a quicker way to take out mancubi and arachnotrons

[crude sparrow]

I agree with you here the grenade launcher just gets outclassed by the rocket launcher and skull crusher weapons are kinda eh

[rose cargo]

i feel if you take those out and put in maybe more upgrades that would’ve been fine

[crude sparrow]

like if I need crowd control for fodder just throw the shield or bash into a group of them

and if I want an automatic weapon I'd just use either of the plasma guns

[rose cargo]

i’m starting to use the plasma guns more

still don’t feel super useful outside of combination of shield usage

plasma + shield throw = huge health/armor profit and that’s all i find it decent for even tho shock exists

[crude sparrow]

plasma guns are really good here

[rose cargo]

if shock was actually able to make enemies explode with the shield that would be cool

[crude sparrow]

I think the accelerator has like one of the highest sustained damage in the game and the shock effect from the cycler can make fights trivial sometimes

[rose cargo]

shredder feels somewhat useful although being fazed out the other weapon in that class idk i think i need to find ways to use it more

what all does shock even do again?

[crude sparrow]

increase damage taken by the demons BUT the important thing is it briefly stuns every time it extends to another demon

[rose cargo]

otherwise I REALLY hope the dlc doesn’t force to use the skull crusher weapons like they force you to use weapon mods in tag

[crude sparrow]

so you can just stunlock demons infinitely with it

[rose cargo]

hmm might try to use it more to start with

[crude sparrow]

if there are fodder demons around with the shock effect just throw your shield at one and quickly call it back

[rose cargo]

the shock was really useful for komodo champion i took it out very quickly

cycler + chainshot is pretty good for the bigger demons

[marsh sleet]

the things i would do for id to give the slayer some legendary sword

or a big ass battle axe

[crude sparrow]

theres a rumor there might be a battle axe weapon in the dlc

nothing is confirmed yet though

alongside like a spear with a teleport ability or something

[rose cargo]

long as we don’t get another sentinel hammer that shit was awful

i’d love another crucible like weapon though, an instant kill weapon with limited charges

[crude sparrow]

imagine if we just get the doom 3 soul cube again 💀

[rose cargo]

lmao

how do people use the impaler

[crude sparrow]

headshot do insane damage

• recharge your melee faster

I use it for one shotting imp stalkers and hell knights

[rose cargo]

hmm okay

[spark elm]

I’m extremely stupid… where the heck did they put the 4th wolf statue on resurrection

like how could I forget this stuff

am I frickin stupid or what

[crude sparrow]

they're pretty close to eachother

[obsidian shard]

Hugo "Hinted" at it but the Spear is def most likely to happen, the List of DLC info is subject to change

[crude sparrow]

btw do we know if there will be any more slayers club live streams?

[warm ibex]

of course!

[crude sparrow]

I mean definitely after the dlc is out but before?

[warm ibex]

they plan on doing another one soon, presumably within the first few weeks of january. playing Doom 3 and TDA

[crude sparrow]

cool

[warm ibex]

seems like they just enjoy the streams

I'd imagine they'll keep them going consistently until TDA is completely over and they've played through everything

[marsh sleet]

id want the crucible esque weapon to not have pickable ammo and instead have a cd

with ways to decrease said cd

[spark elm]

Gonna be going into final battle… Ahzrak will be super awful

yeah I’m increasing my parry window, I can play however I want

[heady trout]

yes sir

theres no need to challenge yourself in a manner which makes u suffer

its all about that balance to reach your fun zone

and when u get bored, then you can increase the difficulty to ur liking

[spark elm]

I stg I dodge the titans on time I still get denied it’s scary when this happens

but my god this Ahzrak fight is gonna be garbage again

old one this will suck too

oh god how do I heal on this fight

okay that’s done

I play how I want, I can make it easier if I want

[unkempt dragon]

I have returned from work in the snow blizzard tundra. Hello slayers

[fleet spruce]

hello, replaying Wolfenstein 2

[ruby aspen]

Does anyone Know why my game is just crashing after a minute of run time? I’m on Xbox btw

[hazy pasture]

Greetings LM

[obsidian shard]

Welcome, How was your day? How was the snow?

[obsidian shard]

Reinstall the game and if that doesn't work then try and do a factory reset on the xbox

Never had it crash on me so def strange

[ruby aspen]

Did both nothing worked, I happen with BF6 as well

[obsidian shard]

It's def an issue with your Xbox, I suggest contacting Microsoft support!

[ruby aspen]

Already did that, other games like cod run perfect

[unkempt dragon]

It's snowing SO much. Same amount as last time. Was such a long day and I'm happy to be home and off for a few days finally. How's yours and everyone's day/night going?

[fleet spruce]

average boring day at retail

[obsidian shard]

Bout to hit the hay, hope your days off are good!

Wish we could get snow soon, but we get dumped on in January-March so just gotta wait a bit longer!

[hazy pasture]

At work as usual but that's fine

[unkempt dragon]

rest well Jay!

[spark elm]

The deathless nightmare run… it’s finally complete… I did NOT wanna die at enhanced ahzrak bro and I 100% was going to 😭

[unkempt dragon]

Hopefully an easy shift today

[hazy pasture]

Thanks LM

[spark elm]

I’ll make sure to do the same thing when I’m doing pandemonium and ultra nightmare.

EA is just the biggest hurdle of each run.

[hazy pasture]

True

[spark elm]

Yea final battle is TOUGH on Nightmare+.

So I may have to put the damage up for the titans/old one too just to play it safe.

[rose cargo]

time to hop back on dark ages

[fading bone]

why is the beginning of unholy siege one of the hardest ripping songs ever

[cold patio]

try theomachy

[void hornet]

Hey I'm trying to migrate my Doom TDA gamepass saves to my steam copy of TDA, anyone knows what folders I need to move and where?

[cold patio]

it's a bit tricky, but on nexus mods there's a guy who commented on how to do it

[fading bone]

also really good, but i just love that ridiculous speed of unholy siege riff

[cold patio]

unholy siege goes hard :D

[fading bone]

unholy siege/infernal chasm/into the void are prolly my top 3 in no particular order

[cold patio]

i was pissed when they didn't add theomachy to the juke box when horde mode got released, but in 2.0 they added it, I'm reinstalling the game now anyways also got premium upgrade for 50% discount

[cold patio]

ye

my personal favorite is theomachy

i also need to hunt the last 7 achievements to perfect doom tda

[void hornet]

is it in a post related to it or in a mod submission?

[cold patio]

post related, you'll find in 100 save mod, go to posts, then scroll down a little bit, you'll find someone explaining how to merge game pass save to steam, tho i can't confirm if it's working, but someone said it's working

i have my save file all upgrades done, if you don't mind the easy difficulty tho, i can give it to you

[crude sparrow]

Goated picks

Unchained predator is probably my favorite

I don't like that it was only used for the opening level and then never again

Looking forward to that khalim master level

[fading bone]

yeah unchained predator is prolly my 4th

that and blood spill

[crude sparrow]

Battle on the blackened tide goes hard too

Also I like that from the ashes is basically the unofficial theme for doomguy

[fading bone]

i was just about to say blackened tide too lol

[fleet spruce]

Hellspawn Rift is so cool, i also love how it gets heavier and more intense towards the end of the level

[fading bone]

its honestly really hard to pick favorites from this album because so many are so good

[fleet spruce]

I knew Into the Void is going to be my favourite when i listened to Cosmic Realm trailer in headphones back then

but yeah, there's plenty to choose from cause TDA soundtrack rocks

[fading bone]

bUt iTs NoT MicK GoRdOn

[slender night]

My favorites are From the Ashes, Steel Beyond the Grave, Infernal Chasm, and Ancestral Beast

Not explicitly in that order

[fleet spruce]

I'm so tired seeing these lmao

like Mick is the only composer to ever exist

[slender night]

The only video game ever is DOOM Eternal

[fading bone]

mick's stuff is absolutely incredible but the TDA OST definitely matches it at points

[fading bone]

wow im doing the forge level and when i try to go into the middle to spawn the aggadon after completing all 3 switches it locks me OUT of the middle and then i somehow get stuck between something next to the wall and the aggadon comes and kills me because i cant move

💀 💀 💀

[ionic glade]

Honestly should been used again for the final level Reckoning. Would’ve thematically fit imo

[harsh egret]

lmao that happened to me once a little while ago too, thought it got fixed since

[fading bone]

2nd death in this pandemonium run to bugs. had a bug in the level before this where my shield just disappeared after i threw it

never came back lol

[crude sparrow]

I think they used infernal chasm because the level takes place in hell

the other 2 levels also had it

but unchained predator for sure got robbed

the good part pretty much only plays during the boring turret section as well 😭

[dapper palm]

The Komodo Champion song is such a banger..

[hazy pasture]

Ancestral Beast ig

[dapper palm]

It's so sad the Komodo champion part of the song isn't included in the official ancestral beast.

[fading bone]

holy moly i have been converted to be an empowered rocket launcher enjoyer

that shit melts leaders like nobody's business

[solid nacelle]

That was literally the first thing I was looking for when I opened the soundtrack

[hazy pasture]

True

[hazy pasture]

Cooked ftw

[solar spoke]

My Id signature clothes finally arrived 😁

[solar spoke]

There's actually a smokey smell off them which is a nice touch

[void hornet]

thanks for offering to but I just tried to transfer a steam save to my own copy and it said the save file was corrupted, so I don't know if it would work

[cold patio]

steam save works for steam, but anything else doesn't work for steam

other way around

[void hornet]

oh then maybe your saves do work, so it'd be great if you sent me the saves if it's not a bother

[cold patio]

all good, will send ya it tomorrow

some chapters 100% others 70% or 50% with all upgrades

[void hornet]

Wait you gonna play the game again just to give me the save?

[cold patio]

no I'll upload it for you on your dms

it's already ready

[void hornet]

great thanks a ton

[cold patio]

no worries, I'll upload ya the save tomorrow, you can crank up difficulty or collect what's missing, do what you see fits

[void hornet]

hey isn't there a parry slider that allows you to tweak numbers instead of boxes?

[arctic pagoda]

You think it's strange that each game, doom guy gets more buff?

At some point Bros gonna look like Bane

[frail bloom]

No he looks ridiculous in eternal

He's more toned down for this game

[harsh egret]

he just looks tanky asf in tda cuz of his armor

[rose cargo]

is there any way to make weapon swapping less delayed

[heady trout]

increase game speed 🙏

[frail bloom]

Or implement more melee in between reloading

Try to play with the game and not against it

[harsh egret]

how many times does it have to be said

increasing game speed doesnt increase weapon swap speed

[frail bloom]

Ye everything else is increasing

So it isn't more viable then if you were playing at 100% speed

[harsh egret]

good to see tda in the list of 13th-24th of highest grossing games on Steam released in 2025

[obsidian shard]

Merch Drop in January 🙏
(All current Pre-orders except the statues end in in Janurary)

[harsh egret]

they dont say the exact order but still, being alongside these games is pretty good

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/hugo-martin-doom-eternal-dark-ages-happy-yay-gif-13218051490774665565

[harsh egret]

wait are u saying there will be or are u saying u hope there will be

[obsidian shard]

hope there will be

[harsh egret]

i hope so too man

imagine a proper serrat statue

[obsidian shard]

But Come on, we been dry for a month, Fallout gets a million things

[harsh egret]

well i guess they gotta with the season 2 dropping and stuff

[obsidian shard]

Im also calculating based on previous merch drops and all dat

[harsh egret]

like i swear if they release a serrat statue with his wings wide open like in the dragons den when u first meet him... holy shit im payin 200-300 for that bad boy if i have to

[obsidian shard]

I mean the Serrat expansion for the TDA Arena Board game...

16 inch wingspan

[harsh egret]

i was also thinking of getting frames for each of the vinyls lol

i wish there was a proper way of displaying both the cover and the disc but i havent found any good frames here for that

ive found only frames for the 12inch cover

so the disc would be inside

[obsidian shard]

Framing for vinyl is a pain, since when people do make it, its expensive ASF

[void hornet]

use kaibz advanced options

[rose cargo]

what’s that

[void hornet]

are you on pc?

[rose cargo]

no

[void hornet]

damn sorry then it won't work for you cause it's a mod

one of the options is precisely to increase the weapon switching speed

[slender night]

I need to start learning kr prices and what they equate to because it's what my Xbox store is set to lol

[obsidian shard]

For me I times by 100 and it's about the same as CAD

[slender night]

Not for lower prices or anything, it's because of Rayman :p

[void hornet]

hey isn't there a parry slider that allows you to tweak numbers instead of boxes?

[frail bloom]

But, but it's a flop!!!!

Rhymes with slop!!!

[void hornet]

that's what synthetic man would have you believe lol

[unkempt dragon]

hi guys

[violet zealot]

Hi

[jaunty quiver]

WHERE IS THIS FROM LMAO

[obsidian shard]

Hugo Stream of TAG i believe and He says "I BEAT IT"

[obsidian shard]

Howdy dude, how ya doing

[jaunty quiver]

That's gotta be the funniest thing I've seen today

[unkempt dragon]

chill. my car got towed from the snow and my partner is flying in and his flight got delayed by a day. So actually not very chill lol. wby?

[obsidian shard]

ohh damn jeez, I'm doing ok, went to work and was told I had the day off today

[void hornet]

Yo didn't know they added native rune and melee swapping in the vanilla game that's freaking sweet!

[obsidian shard]

Fr, all the sliders added and new changes have been amazing

[frosty roost]

LETS GOOOO

also helloooooo

[obsidian shard]

Dark Ages being with Split Fiction and E33 is peak and awesome

Dark Ages sold well after all

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-spy-team-fortress-2-tf2-spy-smile-gif-1166012079989333769

[frosty roost]

Dark Ages is definitely one of my favourites games of this year! the combat and parrying is so nice

[rustic tundra]

any way to improve performance besides graphics settings? I have a pretty good computer but even at the lowest settings the game runs pretty badly

[obsidian shard]

whats your specs?
If your on windows use dxdiag

[rustic tundra]

I have a Ryzen 7700x and a 4060ti

and yes I have 32Gb of ram

[obsidian shard]

is everything updated?

[rustic tundra]

should be, thats the first thing I checked

I can get around 70-80 fps but it's REALLY choppy, and like I said that's handheld settings

I saw the game's recommended is 10gb of Vram, I only have 8 but I feel like I should still be running it well on lower settings..?

[obsidian shard]

Ya you should be fine, i know people with lower specs and on higher settings that run the game fine

interesting

[rustic tundra]

yeah, figured something was up cuz I can run any other game I know of perfectly fine T_T

[obsidian shard]

Do you have other things running in the background at the same time perchance?

[rustic tundra]

just discord, that's it

[obsidian shard]

Strange

[rustic tundra]

Changing some settings got my Vram usage down enough that the game doesn't "flag it" (like, it doesn't make it red), but it still skips some frames often and slows down

I can't figure it out T_T

[arctic pagoda]

Hey

[rustic tundra]

does the game force ray tracing?

[obsidian shard]

yes, the lighting is made of RT, and some hit detection, RT also lowers the File Size and Loading times

[rustic tundra]

well thats probably why I'm having issues

any time I try and play any game with ray tracing my computer doesn't like it, always makes performance worse

guess I can't play till I upgrade

they should've just had it as an option, forcing it just makes it so a lot of people can't play

[obsidian shard]

The engine is built around RT

[rustic tundra]

well that doesn't help me

[obsidian shard]

Plus a 4060ti should run RT well! The min spec is a 2060 Super

[rustic tundra]

I can't run any game with raytracing, I've tried, it just gives me way less fps

raytracing is never worth it

[obsidian shard]

Dark Ages is the best RT mandatory game I can think of, runs consist 30fps on steam deck

[elder raven]

i wanted to add: i own a steam deck and the highest i get is a steady 40
