Like 2016's browser

You upload your thumbnail, all that fancy stuff

Or a vid where someone plays through all the presets here and rates them

Not a whole lot of laidback ripatorium content

I never hear anyone talking it's just a silent run, which is fine

I think the only guy who did it more casually on stream is Raitro

[harsh egret]

theres plenty of ripatorium vids

[frail bloom]

I know

But they're just a run through the presets, it's not like a dude interacting with his chat or playing through multiple in one go

[obsidian shard]

YES

[frail bloom]

Alr here's my top 10

Excluding mine

[elder raven]

bottom ONE = every preset ever

[frail bloom]

1. Waltz of the Archdemons
2. Path of Vengeance collection
3. Manc mayhem
4. Melee fury
5. Absolute Baloney
6. DOOM: the corrupted gauntlet
7. Hell's trials
8. Escalation of pain(ingame)
9. Metal Hell
10. Ahzraks Abyss

It's impossible to rank these

They're all too good they all can shift each day honestly

[heady trout]

okay so after trying out the cycler I've deduced it peaks at dealing with vagaries, especially the champion and bosses

Ravager is weird bc at that point of the game I unlock it im content using my already existing arsenal and i find no need for it, basically what happens with the chaingun in the two previous modern Doom games, by then if you know what ur doing it's not that special

[versed quarry]

Bro what do you mean the flail is peak

[river stratus]

Is it me or SSG is both peak and in "Ok but I'm never using them in favor of the alternatives" ?

[heady trout]

nah the feel of using it

is just too good for me to let go

[river stratus]

I wonder why gauntlet is not peak.

[elder raven]

flail is alright

[unkempt dragon]

Update: The guy got a hold of Josh and the guys finally! 🔥

[heady trout]

its close, just the fact that the big one is better

Hell yeah, awesome to hear 🤘🔥

[solid beacon]

I think if arch vile reuse one from 2016 model in dark ages hasvester one.

[elder raven]

im all for the harvester returning like the prowler did but i prefer a traditional archvile

[fleet spruce]

And prowler's behaviour is reminiscent of that one imp from the scrapped Doom 4 footage

[obsidian shard]

My DLC enemy Wishlist

• Prowler
• Gargoyle
• Pain Elemental (D64)
• Archvile (Confirmed)
• 1 New one

[elder raven]

put jay in the game but not as a demon but just him as an actual model

[obsidian shard]

Cosmic Prowler to be specfic

[harsh egret]

YES

[mystic barn]

As much as I love modern DOOM’s Hell, I really wish there was more of an emphasis on Christian demon depictions. The goat iconography is striking, and these butcher characters really emphasise it

I mean, they’re more blacksmiths, but you could replace his weapons with a cleaver and be none the wiser

[heady trout]

please tell me why for every single one except the ravager (i know its good I just don't like using it) if im never using them

[ornate cypress]

Its the first weapon lol but it rechargea real fast

[elder raven]

exactly

[flat elm]

What's the point of the Ravager? Exept single targets and bosses

[twilit stone]

I guess they just like scaly beast designs more

[obsidian shard]

• Combat Shotgun, Shreds demons pretty freaking good (Explosive Triple shot) not as good as the SSG but it is a great weapon!

• Rocket Launcher gives back good hp and does equally Great damage, with cooked it kills basically all heavy demons in one shot.

• Flail, although the weakest of the 3 melee's, eats armor like nothing (including on Leaders) Great against leaders, also has the coolest animations.

[versed quarry]

Flail has a secret aura farming mechanic built in

[obsidian shard]

Also you can spam the melee hit with it and it's fun, also great at destroying objects around maps.

[versed quarry]

Doomguy beating the shit out of a demon with an oven mit

[flat elm]

Yes, that pretty funny because orignally imp meant to be teleporting and have different design, but changed to prowler like model, that abandoned and reused to create imp and prowler.

[heady trout]

wait did i put the rocket launcher wrong, i thought i put the nade launcher in the lower tiers fuck, also this isn't my point, i put weapons in lower tiers when they are ok but there's no reason to use them over the alternatives

as good as the combat shotgun can be at its peak i find next to no reason to use it, the armor shards I get from it are nothing anyways

[fleet spruce]

Would be really cool if they bring back the glory kill state with the pentagrams and runes n shit as well

[heady trout]

wait no @obsidian shard you read my Tierlist wrong, the rocket launcher is in the "Can be useful for long range and crowds of heavier enemies"

[obsidian shard]

I did mention the CS isn't as good as the SSG but is still good

[obsidian shard]

My bad 😔

[heady trout]

like, yeah but i put it in low tiers bc there's no reason to use them in favor of the alternatives

thats what i consider a low tier weapon outside of something that's actually bad, a weapon that doesn't add to the arsenal

[obsidian shard]

[violet zealot]

[heady trout]

[twilit pumice]

Combat shotgun's fun as hell with domino fire explosion AoE.
With Blast and Flare-up mods

[twilit pumice]

Feel like the shield saw should be regarded as one of your best weapons.
From ricochets, destroying armor, stuns that open up damage/kill windows, canceling attacks, and other uses you can find. So much utility within one simple action.

[heady trout]

oh i was just counting the shield bash lol

[twilit pumice]

Underselling our glorious shield saw./s
Even the shield bash is phenomenal. Capable of using ground impacts immediately after bashing into said demon to AoE clear minor level demons. Plus more ways to stun lock.

[heady trout]

the shield saw is so intrinsic to the game i wouldn't even put it in the same category as the other weapons

it's like, good luck trying to play without it, its like trying to play Eternal without dashing or double jumping

when is anniversary stream?

[fleet spruce]

It's absolutely a necessary tool, gameplay is built around having the shield after all

What Icon said

[harsh egret]

What Sneaky and Icon said

[hazy pasture]

What Sneaky, Icon and Hato said

[heady trout]

exactly, that's why i wouldn't compare it to weapons bc they aren't fundamentally necessary to win

[grim cloud]

Okay doky

[alpine maple]

Do we think they’ll announce the release date of the DLC?

I’m pretty sure I bought the deluxe edition with the dlc and just recently was wondering if they released any news on it

[fleet spruce]

we may or may not get trailer soon

[wintry forge]

So far, no set date. It’s coming along nicely, but still needs some polishing according to Hugo and the team. They announced that the 35th Anniversary stream this week will be in celebration of the company and the games and to not really expect discussion of the DLC (if I recall correctly)

[slender night]

I hope by "the games" they mean more than just DOOM

[silk moat]

[wintry forge]

Absolutely! Their legacy goes beyond just Doom

[hazy pasture]

Catacomb 3D...

[wintry forge]

I think their biggest feat (besides setting the Standard for the fps genre) is inventing side scrolling for computers

[hazy pasture]

Frfr

[alpine maple]

Has id even done anything in the last 20 years that wasn’t doom or rage?

Did quake get something? Like a F2P mobile game or something?

[fleet spruce]

um , Quake Champions happened

Quake 1 and 2 got awesome remasters with tons of extra content

[slender night]

Quake Live, Quake Arena Arcade, Quake Champions

Wolf is handled by another dev and Hexen is dead

[alpine maple]

I know about the remasters, I don’t necessarily count those, meant new games

Quake Champions, I just read a little on it, was in EA for like 5 years and officially released in 2022?

Is the game still up?

[fleet spruce]

yeah

[alpine maple]

Hmmm

I’m going to assume it did not take off

[slender night]

It's mid

[alpine maple]

Does the “champions” moniker indicate a hero shooter type situation?

[thin hound]

I like Quake Champions a fair bit, it’s the best hero shooter

[alpine maple]

Oh

Well that would explain why it might not’ve taken off

[wintry forge]

More or less. They’re more passive abilities so it doesn’t give each champion a true advantage over an other. More of a “whichever you prefer” type of deal

[alpine maple]

I wonder if there’s enough people playing to where I can get into a match and not get immediately pub-stomped by veterans

[slender night]

It's just a weirder Quake III. I do appreciate it giving us Blazkowicz and Doomguy in the same game though, and Quake III + DOOM 3 skins for Doomguy

[thin hound]

Isn’t that how hero shooters work?

[slender night]

Overall my least favorite from the Quake franchise easily, probably even my least favorite game from id's catalogue

[wintry forge]

Yes. but it’s not as integral to the gameplay as something live overwatch or apex legends

[thin hound]

Yeah true

[alpine maple]

Ooo Doomguy is playable? I assume all characters are free and it’s just monetized with cosmetics?

[slender night]

Precisely, yeah

[thin hound]

As someone who plays Overwatch for a college Esports team, Quake Champions is loads more fun

[slender night]

Doomguy was playable in Quake III too though which is the superior game imo

[fleet spruce]

hero shooters are basically mobas in first person, this is just spicier Quake 3 meanwhile

[alpine maple]

Well, I’ll try it this week at some point for science, even if I don’t play it long. After all, gotta keep grinding in HIGHGUARD

[wintry forge]

Quake arena games have always been based on heros/characters as opposed to random player models. Just in Champions, they gave each hero something small to make them each unique in terms of gameplay. The abilities aren’t game-altering by any means

[thin hound]

Hell yes, it is free after all so why not?

[wintry forge]

Yeah, the Slayers abilities are berserk, double jump (like with 2016’s delta thrust boots) and stuff like that

[thin hound]

Also I would recommend playing on or voting for the more molten looking maps when playing a round because the music there is usually the best

[alpine maple]

That sounds very nice, is the pacing still similar to the classic arena-style or did they slow it down a little bit because of the “hero shooter” implementation?

[fleet spruce]

https://youtu.be/7fZzxhf1Rug

[thin hound]

It’s as fast as DOOM Eternal pretty much

[fleet spruce]

much faster if you know the movement tech

[wintry forge]

It’s just as fast if you ask me. They’re arenas are better scaled and more detailed, so it might feel slightly slower than Q3 unless you turn up the fov a little bit

But overall, it’s definitely still the fastest “hero shooter”

[alpine maple]

Bro wtf this is BOPPING, why did they go this hard for a hero shooter ;_;

[fleet spruce]

Andrew Hulshult magic

this game has like 3 different music sets iirc

[slender night]

The menu theme by Vrenna is phenomenal

[thin hound]

What’s the third?

[flat elm]

Yup, Volkerh, Ithagnal and Cthalha

[frail bloom]

This is my list basically, for the new one

D1 cover art demon

Very good list tho

Prowler can be cosmic

And the pain elemental but it looks like its 64 counterpart with some cosmicy stuff

[frail bloom]

That's where I thought they were going with tda till the cosmic realm was introduced

What

Bruh

[harsh egret]

32 USD

l m a o

[frail bloom]

33% of 70 is 23 tho

Or it's premium

So it's 33% of 100

[frail bloom]

Makes sense

[harsh egret]

is it not on sale on console yet?

[frail bloom]

[harsh egret]

cuz someone was asking me and i have no clue

[obsidian shard]

Ain't no way

[obsidian shard]

Should be up within 13 hours

On consoles

[harsh egret]

i see

[sour oar]

do i get the soundtrack on steam from the premium upgrade?

steam music player

[green estuary]

you do

when you purchase it, you get an app under "Tools" that covers the digital artbook and soundtrack

[solar spoke]

I would normally feel bad seeing a game I own that cheap but TDA on day 1 was worth every penny

[frail bloom]

Hundred dollarinos for 186 hours

Was it worth it chat

Yes

[slender night]

Incredible game but for 2x the price point of Eternal I think there could be some more content sprinkled in

We're getting free updates though so I'm not complaining

[frail bloom]

It's a matter of time

Before it's worth more than eternal

[ornate cypress]

Eternal is Amazing but the dlcs were a little weird

[frail bloom]

Loved tag 1

And tag 2 exists ig

Story, smt wrong happened

Kinda rushed

Not their fault, covid

But

I'm confident this upcoming dlc is gonna be way better

[gusty seal]

Hello everyone 😄

i havent seen the dlc trailer or ordered the new dlc yet. Gonnna be worth it?

i took a break from the game and community because i didnt feel at "home" anymore

[green estuary]

I'd recommend just getting the premium upgrade rn

because it's on sale on steam for just 11.50 USD, 67% off

[gusty seal]

and i loved this game for years, since my childhood

its a shame this discord almost made me not wanna play anymore

[gusty seal]

hmm not bad

how are you btw @green estuary

not bad man

how about yourself

[forest hatch]

part of me wants to pick the game up on PC with the new id sale, but i already own it on PS5 and unlike eternal it doesnt like seem like mouse and keyboard makes too much of a difference. what yall think of my dillema?

[foggy fable]

Only buy if it’s more convenient to play on pc

[forest hatch]

prooobably not

[foggy fable]

I usually only rebuy if there is a very good practical reason

Say you own on a potato pc but also own a modern console
A rebuy on console would make sense to play better

I own dark ages in my Xbox,

But I would gladly rebuy on switch 2 once it gets ported over because a portable handheld dark ages would go hard

[forest hatch]

i rebought eternal bc i wanted mods and mouse, dark ages is just kinda for mouse and even then its easier than eternal so a mouse and keyboard isnt as necessary

[forest hatch]

if they can get it running on the switch 2 thats some black magic

[foggy fable]

Eh not really

Switch 2 is very strong and has dlss on top of that

Dark ages already runs at 60fps on Xbox series s and is steamdeck verified

[forest hatch]

oh i didnt know it had dlss

dark ages is so well optimized its kinda insane

[foggy fable]

Plus Indiana jones is a more demanding title than dark ages and is coming to switch 2 this year

[prisma magnet]

how good is doom the dark ages

[prisma magnet]

only 60fps?

[foggy fable]

“OnLy 6o FpS”

[prisma magnet]

Wow

i was just shocked on only 60fps

dont gotta mock me and be a asshole about it

[foggy fable]

60fps is plenty

[prisma magnet]

120 is better

[foggy fable]

For a competitive shooter maybe, but for a singleplayer game 60 is plenty

The reason it’s impressive the series s gets 60fps is because both the series x and ps5 also only get 60fps

It’s a very weak device in comparison but it still hits 60

[prisma magnet]

my ps5 gives 120

[foggy fable]

Nope

Dark ages is locked to 60 on ps5

Well not “locked” but it targets 60

[prisma magnet]

theres a way to bypass that

nothing on tda yet tho but theres a good chance for it imo

i heard e33 will be announced

[warm ibex]

on that we agree, my friend

[harsh egret]

lmao

[obsidian shard]

Oh shii, I'll be hyped of true then

[harsh egret]

you know... they said theres not gonna be anything about the dlc on the anniversary stream

[obsidian shard]

How are you guys doing tho?

[harsh egret]

but they didnt say there wont be a specific mode announced...

https://tenor.com/view/mr-peabody-hypnotize-gif-18017563854157472082

[obsidian shard]

Hugo and Marty kept saying they have tons of stuff for this soooooo

[obsidian shard]

PLEASE, MASTER CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT

[harsh egret]

(im just ragebaiting horde at this point)

[obsidian shard]

(I don't get it)

[harsh egret]

aside from not being able to fall back asleep after sleeping only 3 hrs, good

[forest hatch]

might have to pick up a switch 2 just for doom

[harsh egret]

Nah it's just funny cuz he and many others just dont agree with what I was saying about master campaign being confirmed and stuff

[obsidian shard]

Master campaign will be confirmed one day

[harsh egret]

Time will tell

[fleet spruce]

You can pick up a steam deck with Dark Ages and play it right now

[obsidian shard]

We could ask about it on Wednesday

[harsh egret]

I'm sure most people buy one or the other tho

(i would assume)

[harsh egret]

ive indirectly asked them about updates and havent gotten a reply really

[obsidian shard]

They just go "Anyways DLC tomorrow"

[harsh egret]

would be smth

[obsidian shard]

Or Master Campaign

Or Ripatorium 3.0

[harsh egret]

u know what, ng+ being announced with this sale would be bonkers hype

[obsidian shard]

FR

[harsh egret]

that would be hype.....

[meager vortex]

bonk!

[harsh egret]

bonk.

[meager vortex]

doom the dark ages slayer hit the demon head with flail

[forest hatch]

i've thought about getting a steamdeck but in reality i don't know how much i'd use it, i bought a PSVITA and modded that as my on the go machine, especially for its size

[alpine maple]

So to the people who I was talking with about Quake earlier:

Quake Champions is pretty fun!

[alpine maple]

Steamdeck is so good, I use mine all the time

[fleet spruce]

I use my ROG Ally almost everyday

boring ass retail job moment

[forest hatch]

what's the battery life like on both devices?

[fleet spruce]

Steam Deck can be between 2 to 7.5 hours depending on how graphically intensive game is

[forest hatch]

not bad, PSVITA probably gets me about 4-6? but i'm not playing super intense pc games on that thing

[fleet spruce]

I played Quake 2 thru Yamagi source port and got exactly 7.5 hours from full battery

[harsh egret]

btw @obsidian shard i've been listening to some of ur latest remixes and they r really good!

[obsidian shard]

tyty

[forest hatch]

oh schweet

[obsidian shard]

Buying dark ages tomorrow so I can stop bugging @green estuary and do the boss tracks lol

[harsh egret]

I got myself a sim racing wheel and for some reason sim racing with tda soundtrack in the background is actually a good combo

[obsidian shard]

Favourite of mine thus far?

Ngl mine are Steel Beyong the Grave, Hellspawn Rift, Infernal Chasm, Blood Red and Surpringly Colossus Unleashed

[harsh egret]

i'd actually say colossus unleashed
im gonna listen to into the void and somehow i missed steel beyond the grave so im listening to them rn

[fleet spruce]

ROG Ally base model is ass battery wise 1.5 to 4 at best, ROG Ally X is double of that which is what im using right now. It's biggest flaw as the well as its biggest advantage is windows, also Z1 Extreme model has far superior performance l.

[obsidian shard]

Steel Beyond the Grave is IMO my best! 8 minutes in and you will assend to urdak, its so freaking good

[forest hatch]

yeah and i know dual booting the steam deck to windows can be bad if done wrong and the ROG ally just is windows

[fleet spruce]

The only things holding me back from outright switching to SteamOS are Crossfire and Counter-Strike Online lmao

[forest hatch]

my biggest concern is i tend to play a lot of indie games that aren't steam deck verified and i'm not sure what would happen there especially if they're like windows inly

[fleet spruce]

Not verified doesn't mean they won't run. Speaking from personal experience.

[forest hatch]

ohh gotcha

[fleet spruce]

It's more so indicator that it wasn't thoroughly tested on how good overall experience playing it on steam deck is

[harsh egret]

ok yeah steel beyond the grave is sick asf man, good shit

[weak lance]

Holy moly dark ages is on a good sale right now. Super tempting…

[tender chasm]

im bored what doom game should i play

[random sand]

The one who's chat you're in

[twilit stone]

Eternal

[frosty roost]

morning

[frail bloom]

I'm on that same grind

Running for the first couple times is awful

I also realized that all my other muscle groups are kinda outta wack so I gotta restart

[random sand]

i've wanted to start jogging but it's too cold outside rn and there's snow and ice everywhere so i wanna wait until spring or summer

[frail bloom]

Jogging in the cold is actually better for your metabolism but there is a point where it gets too cold

So y'know opting for treadmill ain't bad either

[random sand]

been wanting to get one but no space for it. maybe someday

[frail bloom]

Ye someday

Anyways gotta go

[random sand]

farewell fellow doomer

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[split gate]

We’ll need to wait a little longer bro, the Doom is coming

[sharp zealot]

Would you like to see the prowler come back at some point in the dark ages or not a suitable demon for gameplay?

[mystic barn]

Yes, but I want it to be named the Cosmic Imp Stalker. I think it would be fun to bridge that gap

[sharp zealot]

Ooooo okay that’s a cool idea more cosmic hell hybrids is a great concept

[harsh egret]

Yeah I think the prowler would make for a great cosmic enemy icl

[sharp zealot]

But what about the pain elemental now that is also a interesting question

[thin hound]

Pain elemental and prowler were two of the best designs from Eternal, so I would really like them to come back totally

[slender night]

I want them to do something with the wacky D64 PE in the future

[thin hound]

Can we get someone to make a real weapon that launches rail spikes at high velocity?

[grim cloud]

i mean there are nail guns, so its very possible

though they are less effective than actual bullets

[fleet spruce]

actual railguns

[slender night]

Make em green

[fleet spruce]

Not as metal for sure but do the job

[thin hound]

I kind of want a projectile nailgun now

[slender night]

Play Quake then

[fleet spruce]

correct

[gritty mist]

is the optimization good for the dark ages

can 16 gb ram handle it with decent fps or nah

[fleet spruce]

what else are your specs

I'm literally playing this game on a handheld PC at 720p with 60 fps

[green estuary]

Your ram isn’t going to be your limiting factor

[gritty mist]

Rtx 4060 i5 last gen or the gen before the last gen i forgot what they were called

[fleet spruce]

oh you'll be fine then

[gritty mist]

laptop tho

i mean it probably can take on the dark ages but idk about decent fps

[fleet spruce]

you'll definitely hit 60 fps

[gritty mist]

Alright thanks

[green estuary]

My laptop 4060 runs it at a solid 60

But I also have a 14900, so idk how having an i5 will do

[spark elm]

To this day I think siege part 1 still has the BIGGEST map. It truly is enormous in scale!

And it’s all like a single piece…

[frail bloom]

Well

Biggest map if playing as the slayer

The atlan mech levels are to scale

[spark elm]

Well that is true.

[frail bloom]

So while shorter, the maps are most likely much larger than any siege map

But yes, if we take out the stupid stuff, siege is the largest map

And I love how large it is

The map itself looks unique to me

One if my top fav levels

I've also recently been replaying eternal

The reason I mention it here is bc it doesn't feel nearly as fun as tda anymore

Idk why

[crude sparrow]

What's up chat I'm back

Was gone for a couple of weeks

I saw that apparently the khan maykr is coming back in the dlc 👀

[crude sparrow]

I think I gotta agree unfortunately

Eternal is still my favorite game of all time, but I also tried coming back to it recently after tda and dropped it at like super gore nest

Maybe not the gameplay itself though, I booted up the endless horde mode mod which is literally just the combat and it was still a blast

[frail bloom]

I was thinking dropping it earlier but I'm at nekravol

Might aswell finish it and the dlc's

But it feels so

Idk

Floaty

I do appreciate some aspects tho

Slayer gates are awesome, and them returning in the upcoming dlc makes me happy

I also appreciate how some secrets are not marked instantly

Ofc I mostly know them all already but all the secrets feel more secretive

I also enjoy traversal,much more is happening there than in tda

Granted it used it's vertical terrain much better

[frail bloom]

Is that so

[sudden stump]

I wish we could lock the difficulty for a save slot. I know, "just have self discipline and don't adjust sliders" but maybe some people would appreciate the option and maybe more stakes when playing UN

[harsh egret]

I'll add that Marty said they have lots to celebrate, not necessarily announce

[green estuary]

I mean if you’re the kind of guy who’d lock the difficulty on a UN run, you’re also not the kind of guy who’d try to cheese the thing

[cursive grotto]

1080p or 1440p

And what settings

Aand do you use dlss/frame gen

[crude sparrow]

yeah I mostly dont like the parkour in tda because you have no air control

[warm ibex]

last night I played for the first time in over a year, I think this is the perfect way to describe it

tda has so much weight that it makes eternal feel too weightless, if that makes sense

[crude sparrow]

I like the weightless feel

its snappy and responsive

[harsh egret]

Compared to tda it sure is pretty floaty, not that its a bad thing imo

[crude sparrow]

the movement in tda is fine but when it comes to parkour I dont like it as much

because you dont have that much control mid air

[harsh egret]

Games that feel floaty when they shouldnt is what bothers me
witcher 3 is a good example even tho its not an fps, its so floaty that i couldnt play the game more than 20 minutes

[green estuary]

1080p, of course
no frame gen, but I can't remember if I'm running native or dlss quality
either way, both options look exactly the same

also I'm running high settings

[cursive grotto]

My laptop 4060 runs it at about 120 fps ultra nightmare settings with frame gen on and DLSS balanced

80 fps in 1440p

Seems about on par

[green estuary]

yeah sounds about right

[cursive grotto]

Sick pfp btw katsu

Is that carnage or another symbiote

The head looks like carnage but I don't remember carnage having a green tongue

[crude sparrow]

remember when venom had green eyes for some reason

[warm ibex]

toxin

[cursive grotto]

O right

Thanks

What's up by the way horde

Ma man

[warm ibex]

hey man hows it goin

[green estuary]

yeah it's toxin

[crude sparrow]

btw, has sneaky released that ripatorium collection yet?

I was gone for a while so idk

[cursive grotto]

Pretty good

Do you wanna see 2 sick marauder clips I just got in eternal

[rugged moon]

I started playing tda on my RTX 3050 laptop with 8gb of ram, and the game is running much better than I expected. Do you think upgrading to 16gb of ram would significantly improve performance?

The game is running at around 60-40 fps

[harsh egret]

going from 8 to 16 should help yeah

im surprised it runs that good on a 3050 laptop

[cursive grotto]

Me too

Although tbf iirc the minimum recommended card was an rtx 2060

And a laptop 3050 is still stronger

From what I know atleast

[harsh egret]

pretty sure its weaker

by like 20-30% at least

[green estuary]

yeah the 3050 even has worse RT performance than the 2060 despite being a newer gen card
because it's only got a 128-bit bus

[cursive grotto]

Damn the 3050 is an even bigger joke than I thought it was

Especially the laptop variant

I mean I knew it was bad but like

Damn

[frail bloom]

I'm so used to no air control that I don't mind it. But the way the levels are laid out and the way you traverse vertically in eternal feels so much more adventurous that in tda, where you're walking or you occasionally shield throw/shield bash

[crude sparrow]

I genuinely cant play without air control

my go to runes were air control, savagery and blood fueled

[frail bloom]

I mean I play with it in eternal but I'm thinking I shouldn't

[willow beacon]

Playing with no air control feels so weird to me

I want to be able to do my yeethooks

[crude sparrow]

also just air strafing is so good

[solar spoke]

Imagine how broken dark ages would be with air control

[harsh egret]

its like imagining a tank drifting around like a rally car

[solar spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/girls-und-panzer-tank-tanks-drive-drive-tank-gif-649335263553127841

[frail bloom]

Ye it's broken

Doesn't stop some from adding a double jump, and increased weapon swap speed to morbillion

Basically eternal but with parrying and you falter everything every 2 seconds

[obsidian shard]

Bought Dark Ages on Steam!

Hopefully i can run it

Bro you've been doing gods work for the doom community on Twitter recently ❤️

Even Dave oshry from newblood quote tweeted you

That's why sneaky's the goat 🔥 🔥

[obsidian shard]

Thank you TM ❤️ , Just bringing news and trying to Bring Love to DOOM (and Stop misinfo and hate)

-# different from disliking something

[obsidian shard]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/971218217852862544/1468432948679413893/scream_if_you_love_6.gif

[versed quarry]

What happened?

[obsidian shard]

I just posted that Dark Ages was on Sale and TOP 3 Top Sellers on steam rn

[crude sparrow]

Nah but also the dlc news and calling out people trying to farm with purposefully bad takes

[versed quarry]

Ah

[obsidian shard]

and SynthPotato called Dark Ages a "Dissapointment"

To note I do like SynthPotato, I do enjoy his content and reviews, but the Dark Ages one was like pure hatred

[crude sparrow]

Like I get that the game probably isn't for everyone and that different people like different things but like cmon

[obsidian shard]

Gotta give like 90% of credit to Hato for DLC News

[crude sparrow]

That's true tho hato is also carrying here

I missed last stream since I wasn't online for a while and literally the first day on I was immediately caught up on the news lol

[obsidian shard]

also also, since we are on the topic, I do NOT condone hatred towards his statement or opinions

[crude sparrow]

Of course man, like I said I understand that not everyone is gonna like something but sometimes I feel like people are being ignorant on purpose

Like I think one of the replies on that post (it wasn't his I'm pretty sure) was that glory kills not being in the game makes the executions so repetitive

Like bro

I love glory kills as much as the next guy but it's literally the same animations over and over again

The definition of repetitive

[fringe comet]

If I buy doom the dark ages on 67% discount that it is on right now should i also get it with the premium for future dlc because I don't have any idea for what's gonna be in the dlc the only thing I know is it's gonna be releasing In a month or a little bit more

[fleet spruce]

Which is hilarious that there are complaints like that. Sometimes people just hate for the sake of it.

man, the melee + glory strike system as a whole is very reminiscent of what was intended for the scrapped Doom 4

[solar cairn]

Eternal was cheaper at the start, had more content and did not require rtх

[green estuary]

Eternal only had more content if you actually played battle mode
Which barely anyone did

But yeah, 10 dollars cheaper

[obsidian shard]

Battlemode players (Me) were fed good with 2.0

(I started playing Eternal after Update 6.66 so I had access to all post-launch content)

[merry sapphire]

i miss battlemode. shi was so fun but man i hated the streak based rewards

especially since i wanted that weapon skin set so bad

quite literally the only skin/item set that i didnt get in doom eternal

took like a thousand years to find a match just to get like the same 5 pro players at the end of the streak

they really should have added different ways to get that reward

[thin hound]

Still yearning for that Immoran dread knight skin

[solar cairn]

• 2 master levels

[green estuary]

13 campaign levels, one free master level

The cultist base master level still does not come with the game

[solar cairn]

Ooh((

[green estuary]

Versus TDA with 22 campaign levels
Which, even if you subtract 3 levels for atlan/dragon stuff, that’s still far more single player content than eternal

[fading bone]

wait what i thought you were making ripatorium encounters and shit how have you not had dark ages this whole time?

[green estuary]

xbox series x

[foggy fable]

Tda had a pretty lengthy campaign for a singleplayer game

On top of long large levels and tons to explore for

[green estuary]

it’s easily had the longest campaign out of any linear game I’ve ever played

[foggy fable]

I don’t know if it was worth the full price for me, as opposed to a few other $70 games I played for more hours with. But it’s far far from a disappointment

[green estuary]

see, I don’t have that problem cuz I bought it for 45 bucks

[foggy fable]

I very much enjoyed it and will double dip once it launches on switch 2 because I need handheld doom of course

[hoary pewter]

I loved The Dark Ages I can’t lie

[warm ibex]

I saw it on twitter earlier too https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1468464071413075968/image.png?ex=69841d3d&is=6982cbbd&hm=3073d9bb3222a349168b97fb9499a9155798a3a08f68d9194971fca7b37575d1

Absolutely Incredidible to see!

[mystic barn]

Not sure if you guys have seen, but John Romero also commented his love and support for Wanderingreader123 on the post

[wintry forge]

I saw that. I’m very glad everyone is getting involved

[solar cairn]

Maybe he will be cured or it is no longer possible?

[obsidian shard]

Good Question

[fading bone]

whats the answer 🙊

[elder raven]

el cinco

[obsidian shard]

Xbox and Main PC

[fading bone]

oh lol

[obsidian shard]

Specs are from my laptop

[fading bone]

why do you have to buy it again if you already have it on pc?

[obsidian shard]

I didn't own it on Steam

Only Xbox

[fading bone]

i cant imagine playing the same game on both controller and m/kb

it would be so disorienting

[obsidian shard]

"Hooks up Controller to PC"

Ya I know I'm a disgrace

[fading bone]

good lord

[obsidian shard]

[split gate]

Bro’s gonna have the best gaming experience 🫡. Happy for him to get what he wanted in the end

[crude sparrow]

I do think mouse and keyboard is better for fps games but for example 2D platformers like hollow knight or Cuphead are generally easier on controller

I remember before I had a controller I played Cuphead on keyboard and it was genuinely the worst key layout I've ever seen

But back then I didn't know how good it was on controller so I didn't even realize 😭

Shooting with M is NOT it

[fleet spruce]

Very doable actually, admittedly took me 3 months to get properly used to gamepad but i can play using either without issues now

[crude sparrow]

For me it's the turning and aiming that's the issue

I know controllers have gyro now so apparently it can be pretty much the same as a mouse but mine doesn't have it so

Also I need my 300 keys for quickswapping

[fleet spruce]

I don't like gyro, it's all wonky n shit

[crude sparrow]

I think it just requires getting used to

I saw some tf2 player play on a controller with gyros and ngl he was better with it than I ever was on mouse and keyboard so I'll let him cook

[fleet spruce]

Which tf2

[crude sparrow]

Team fortress 2

[fading bone]

playing fps with controller just feels so awful

[fleet spruce]

oh, i played with gamepad just fine, no need for gyro

[crude sparrow]

(I actually haven't played Titanfall please don't eat me)

[fleet spruce]

It's ok, I didn't either until last year

[harsh egret]

Fr

[crude sparrow]

Idk I prefer the snappy controls of mouse and keyboard for fps games

[harsh egret]

Tho I haven't put in the time with it so I'm just not used to it i suppose

Yh I agree

[fleet spruce]

I use gamepad only when i hook my device to TV or when I'm not home

even sometimes boot up QC:DE

[fleet spruce]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/611811280260562954/1396211456499908668/rn_image_picker_lib_temp_f211410b-c43b-48a5-a5ae-ba829a98bb29.jpg?ex=698445ff&is=6982f47f&hm=5c6012472dfbbb4e40dce88cf3fcc1956578bc2156625f98ace8c64d33f3315a&

this is what it looks like

[crude sparrow]

You know shit's real when the monitor doesn't have sharp edges

That's so real

[fleet spruce]

I still have ancient photos of when I played 2016 and Eternal on switch lmao

[crude sparrow]

I never understood why 2016 is 60 dollars on the switch

It's only 20 on PC and other consoles

[fleet spruce]

Honestly no idea either as i bought it on a big Doom series sale back then

[crude sparrow]

I also remember when eternal came out on switch with the Phobos helmet in the collector's edition

I don't care for switch releases but I was legit considering it for that

[fleet spruce]

will be really funny if Dark Ages for switch 2 collectors edition will come with yet another helmet

[crude sparrow]

Nightmare skin helmet 🔥 🔥

I actually need that

[fleet spruce]

i hope we'll get some ice themed skins - white , ice blue and black with some silver is a powerful color combo

[crude sparrow]

We generally need more skins in tda

[harsh egret]

Idk if my comment came across as hateful but I just usually tend to call out engagement bait, destructive criticism or lying (which he did in his post and in the replies) especially when we live in a time where people's opinions shift so much based on what influencers say or think. And when someone is posting smth like this, it makes some people disregard the game completely and honestly I'm just tired of ppl with a big online presence ignoring this.

[harsh egret]

Would be cool if they do a nightmare slayer mini figurine just like they did with the divinity one

[meager vortex]

agree 100%

[harsh egret]

Which I'm gonna proceed to wait to go on sale cuz they're like 85 euros or smth 😭

[crude sparrow]

Oooh I do want that mini figure

If only it wasn't so expensive

[harsh egret]

It will go on sale eventually

It's just that it's pretty new still

[crude sparrow]

I wonder if any of the toy collectibles from eternal are still available

[harsh egret]

Not really that new actually but yh

[crude sparrow]

I missed out on those

[harsh egret]

I recently got the baron one but from a marketplace

But I don't think they are in stock anymore afaik

You'd have to go and ask in #merch-showcase there's ppl there that would know better than I do

Ik the caco one is expensive nowadays

[crude sparrow]

There are a couple on Amazon for an alright price

Idk if I trust that tho

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[fleet spruce]

[frail bloom]

May I chime in and ask what the dude said

I got doom psx around ‘08 and I still deem it the most unique Doom port. I’d love a rerelease tbh

[languid birch]

Hi everyone

[wintry forge]

People don’t realize this but that’s where the “Doom 64 Theme” originated

[fleet spruce]

Both, the soundscape and the atmosphere, they both lie in this game

[warm ibex]

people also don't realize that the nightmare imp technically originates from the playstation port

[slender night]

PSX port had the ghost Caco right? Even if unintentional

[warm ibex]

that too

[wintry forge]

They feel less unique because of the sprites but definitely! I even forgot about it until just now tbh

Aside from the Title theme of Doom 64, the same motif and the rest of the main music from ‘64 was from PSX Doom

As well as the sound most, if not all, of the sfx

[languid birch]

Yooo how yall doing?

[wintry forge]

Tower of Babel with Mancubi is a game changer

[wintry forge]

What up man!

[languid birch]

Yooo,im playing doom eternal

[wintry forge]

Nice! Wya on it?

[languid birch]

Im playing the dark ages 2

I meant ancient gods

[warm ibex]

only present in the press version, but still cool to see a blue recolor of the standard imp prior to their first official appearance in 64 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1432843384778784798/image.png?ex=698462a3&is=69831123&hm=1e60746d37f68f5568b5a14adc074c72cb40d6707ac071e5d778e8ff04452791

[warm ibex]

crazy how it fits so much better in d64 than it does classic doom

[wintry forge]

That’s sick. Is this the from the official manual?

[warm ibex]

from a preview of the game in MAXIMUM gaming magazine

[languid birch]

Guys whats your favorite demon(if you have one)?

[slender night]

Arch-vile, but in TDA it's probably the Pinky

[languid birch]

Nice,in doom eternal i probably say the gladiator or tyrant

[wintry forge]

I completely agree, coming from a guy who played psx Doom far before Doom 64. The title screen of psx doom is awesome, with the flames/title drop, but I can’t imagine that track playing anywhere other than the climactic ‘64 end screen with the Slayer staying in Hell lmao

[fleet spruce]

Doom 64 is so metal

[warm ibex]

btw the nintendo partner direct was confirmed for tomorrow, so keep an eye out for a tda switch 2 port announcement https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1468649594312462498/image.png?ex=6984ca05&is=69837885&hm=29124aa2f15b549cbda8a6c4229bbe29328695f800076b14b453ae3de637ab3c

[wintry forge]

Only issue with PSX Doom is the end screen voice

[warm ibex]

end screen voice?

[slender night]

Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition got PEGI rated recently BTW so any Rayman fans here have reason to be excited for this direct 👀

[wintry forge]

“a LiFeTiMe Of FrIvOlITyYyY”

[wintry forge]

Yeah go check it out. It’s goofy af lmao

[warm ibex]

I didn't know such a thing existed lmao

that gives me a video idea...

thank you lol

[thin hound]

Tower of Babel is a raid in Painkiller

[fleet spruce]

Tower of Babel is a level in original Doom

[solar spoke]

Id 35th anniversary

[thin hound]

Didn’t know that, or if I did I forgot

[solar spoke]

damn, not even two weeks later. Cool to see an evercade Doom collab

[fleet spruce]

maybe you can find out, Doom + Doom 2 is right there

[thin hound]

Yeah I can find out if I go on DOOM or DOOM Eternal and look at classic maps names

[fleet spruce]

😔

[harsh egret]

yh im looking forward to it

[wintry forge]

Yeah, PSX version of the Tower of Babel mission (from Doom 1) has Doom 2 enemies because of the setup and of Doom PSX

[slender night]

I think there's a more famous telling of the Tower of Babel 😭

[young schooner]

TDA's on a very good sale right now, that's cool.

[grim cloud]

so buy it on the ps5 ?

[young schooner]

Oh I mean on Steam.

[young schooner]

64 has some of my favorite text in the series.

YOU CACKLE AS THE FAMILIARITY OF THE SITUATION OCCURS TO YOU. THE GATEWAY TO THE DEMONS WAS TOO ACCESSIBLE. YOU REALIZE THE DEMONS MOCK YOU WITH THEIR INVITATION.
IT DOES NOT MATTER...
THE DEMONS SPAWN LIKE RATS AND YOU HAVE THE GRADE AAA UAC POISON THEY CRAVE. YOUR BLOODTHIRSTY SCREAM SHATTERS THE TELEPORT HAZE. ONCE AGAIN YOU FIND YOURSELF AMIDST...

Probably my favorite text screen in the series.

Perfect mixture of that badass meathead stuff from 1-2 and a more grim and horror-focueed tone.

[versed stone]

Can the game still run fine if you have it in a 2.5 inch SATA?

I have it currently in my external SanDisk Extreme drive, and I heard that could be a reason for why I was only getting 102 FPS maximum without using LSFG.

[thin hound]

Painkiller is all about purgatory, which I only knew as like a hypothetical place where someone is tortured for all eternity, I know next to nothing else about it

[slender night]

Okay

Not entirely sure how that relates 💔

[thin hound]

I don’t know either, Painkiller is the first I’ve really heard of Tower of Babel

So I’m assuming it has to do with purgatory, which I also don’t know much about

[slender night]

Let's move this to general

[frail bloom]

I hope they update the ripatorium today

If not, this week?

[solid nacelle]

It's been like a month and a half since 2.0 came out, would they update it again so soon?

[obsidian shard]

2.0 came out in November

2.5 months

I believe full focus has been on DLC

[solid nacelle]

Oh weird I was looking at the slayers club article and it was marked as December for some reason

I didn't even realize it had been that long geez

[simple cypress]

guys could someone pls help me get the game on steam ? i don't have any supported payment method , i have local one only , im still young to make an international one , my parents have one but they dont want to let me use it , i wanted to ask kindly maybe someone can help , this is my friend code on steam : 1840851733

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[harsh egret]

doom

[frail bloom]

No like putting in new presets

Not content updates, but shifting the presets ingame

It's a tuneable I don't see why it hasen't rotated yet

[solid nacelle]

Oh yeahyeahyeah right yeah I was kind of under the impression that those would rotate on a biweekly basis or at least monthly or something

[elder raven]

my same exact thought

[frail bloom]

Ye I just wanna know

[gusty seal]

so cyberdemons will be able to "fly" lol

[frail bloom]

Nope

[gusty seal]

wing flap i thought?

[frail bloom]

Flapping wings on ground =/= flapping wings while hovering

Now

The wingflap is to push away players who are getting too comfortable bullying the cyberdemon

I guess they thought it was a big pushover

(Which it kinda is)

[gusty seal]

@frail bloom #videos message

[heady escarp]

The codex says that Ahzark is the reason they can't fly.

[bronze ocean]

67% on steam 🙏

and i bought it at 50%, dang
