[frail bloom]

Like hellknights being maced

[thin hound]

Where do I find this?

[frail bloom]

Look up doom dark ages cut content

The thumbnail is the slayer fighting a titan on ground

[obsidian shard]

I'm cooking

[obsidian shard]

ahhh ye ye

[frail bloom]

And it corroborates with what Hugo said

They were in the game but at some point they decided to ditch it

[harsh egret]

I guess T could work, its next to R which is the default shield throw keybind

[frail bloom]

Hm

[thin hound]

I’m seeing the video. How did they find this? It’s crazy!

[harsh egret]

and its not too far away either

[obsidian shard]

Didnt flow with combat (I Get now)

[harsh egret]

feels pretty convenient to do tbh

[frosty roost]

the cut content is fucking sick, really wished they didn't ditch it

[thin hound]

So they could totally bring back most of it including the marauder axe

[harsh egret]

peam

[frail bloom]

So peam

[harsh egret]

Now u just need drop shadow on the logo and title

[obsidian shard]

The "DLC Info" bit will be more in the middle

[thin hound]

Now I understand why everyone was saying there might be an axe in the DLC

[harsh egret]

@warm ibex @obsidian shard thoughts

btw Samir would it work on console

or is it too much

[obsidian shard]

That's technically in the game....

Pincussion

[harsh egret]

hmm

well then might need some other ability to it thats not just simple aoe

[foggy fable]

Hopefully a golden axe

[obsidian shard]

done

[harsh egret]

need to channel my inner game designer which im not

[warm ibex]

I think not being able to do that is part of the current loop. you have to choose between the bash or shield stun, can't have both

[frail bloom]

So far I have the left and right arrow buttons open and the right circle/red button open

[thin hound]

I really hope we get to fight a titan as the Slayer on foot

[harsh egret]

yeh

[frail bloom]

Up and down arrows are taken by melee swap

[frosty roost]

it's peak

[harsh egret]

no no i meant drop shadow for each

but that is better

[frail bloom]

Whatevs

It sleeker

[obsidian shard]

I can do that for "DLC Info" but it'll be too Dark imo

[harsh egret]

im nitpicking but it has to be as peam as it can be

[harsh egret]

then u prob dont need the top shadow

[obsidian shard]

nah you aint, Just giving me ideas and tips

[harsh egret]

i dont wanna just say everything is perfect when imo its not, sorry if im ruining the fun lmao

[warm ibex]

copy and paste the text layers, make the lower one solid black and then add light gaussian blur. might want to do another round of blur afterwards and set the layer opacity to 80% or lower if it's too strong

[frail bloom]

Bro you say peam to everything

Seriously you do

[harsh egret]

yh ik but thats cuz shit do be peam

ok would u rather me being honest or do u want me to just say peak to anything

[frail bloom]

No I was just surprised

Be honest

[warm ibex]

we want you to have a good day and to enjoy yourself 😀

[harsh egret]

tbh I can be brutally honest but I understand that maybe I've just glazing too much

[frail bloom]

Sir

Actually nvm

[harsh egret]

[frail bloom]

I gotta watch what I say

I never know

[harsh egret]

say it

[warm ibex]

don't do it samir

[frail bloom]

Nuh uh

[harsh egret]

say. it.

[frail bloom]

My lips are sealed

[harsh egret]

[slender owl]

Tfw Bethesda announced today that they're putting all their games on Switch 2 EXCEPT for Doom: The Dark Ages

[foggy fable]

To be fair with all the ports happening at once it kinda overshadows a dark ages port

Not to mention all of those ports have been in development much longer than dark ages

A dark ages port will 10000% happen no doubt there. But likely closer to / after dlc comes out

[slender owl]

I hope so

[obsidian shard]

I believe after DLC

[foggy fable]

Bethesda ( thankfully) loves supporting the switch 1/2 with all its nonstop ports. So this for me is fantastic news

[versed quarry]

No clue how’d they’d get ray tracing to run on it

[fleet spruce]

rest assured it has the required capabilities

[green estuary]

you don't have to wonder lol
the indiana jones game also requires RT and is getting a switch 2 port

[fleet spruce]

exactly, and that game has similar specs requirement

[versed quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/blinking-eyes-white-guy-blinking-meme-what-huh-gif-26334323

[foggy fable]

Switch 2 has an Nvidia chip

It has raytracing and dlss support

Re9 confirmed to even be 60fps
So is the Pragmata demo

Dark ages runs at 60fps on Xbox series S

It’s not impossible to think dark ages could also hit 60 on switch 2

[fleet spruce]

yeah, the general performance of switch 2 is surprisingly close to xbox series s too

Actually it's a bit faster than my Ally X even

and I'm running Dark Ages 720p at 60 fps with the handheld graphics preset

[harsh egret]

If they got indiana jones on the switch 2, they are getting tda as well

Just a matter of when

[trail sandal]

Hey, I'm stuck at the Chapter 2 Parry Gate in The Dark Ages. I killed the enemies too fast and the gate is softlocked. Can someone hop on a Discord Stream with me and help me clip through it or tell me where the vent is?

[random sand]

can't you just restart from a checkpoint and do it again?

[trail sandal]

I tried that but still have same issue it says Perry melee attack 1/3

[random sand]

hold on. this tutorial's in chapter 1 yet you said chapter 2?

[trail sandal]

I’m not sure exactly which Chapter but it’s where I got a plasma gun and killed all the enemies

[random sand]

there's no melee tutorial there as far as i remember. you just kill all the enemies there and move on killing plasma-shield enemies to test the plasma gun. there's the hellknight area i suppose? you mean there?

[trail sandal]

Maybe there yes but I don’t know where to go now I’m stuck I can video call to show it

[random sand]

well i can't. not home rn. you should be able to press H and it shows where to go

at least i think its default bind is H. not sure. mine is

[trail sandal]

I am playing it on PS5

[random sand]

dang. then idk the binds. well there should just be a door. unless there's a hellafied barrier that's bugged? is there a red barrier that hasn't gone away?

[trail sandal]

I don’t see a red barrier no

[random sand]

what about a door or a path? gotta be one somewhere around there

[trail sandal]

No door or path

[trail sandal]

It says my Perry melee attacks is 1/3 complete

[random sand]

is there a big grey demon jumping you there

[trail sandal]

No I killed all demons

[random sand]

then reset. reset the whole level if needed. i don't think there is another way

[trail sandal]

Why does this happen?

[random sand]

idk. bugs exist. probably just glitched out

[split gate]

Also thinking of starting on my next preset at some point soon

[hazy pasture]

Interesting...

[harsh egret]

Been a while now since my last one

[hazy pasture]

Imma replay Iron Lung...

[wintry nexus]

It’s that new movie with markplier right?

[hazy pasture]

Simon...

Uh yeah you're right

[wintry nexus]

Ok I thought I was stupid for a second

[hazy pasture]

Nuh uh you ain't stupid

But Simon...

[wintry nexus]

Is that his actual name

Idk I barely watch markplier

I’m just going off what people say

[obsidian shard]

Game that Mark made into a Movie (which he did amazing at-go see it)

[wintry nexus]

Didn’t it score higher than like, Hollywood movies

Alright I’m probably going off topic

[obsidian shard]

Ye also made 10x it's budget

ALSO I suggest checking David's other games too like Dusk

[wintry nexus]

Already did 😝

[hazy pasture]

Squirrel Stapler

[wintry forge]

HOLD UP

that’s the same David?? I had no idea wth. That’s fire af

[hazy pasture]

No more straight faces...

[obsidian shard]

Great Horror game, He cooks every time

[wintry forge]

I played Dusk years ago and have been following his work. I had no idea he did iron lung, where have I been💀🤡

[hazy pasture]

Mark should play it someday

[obsidian shard]

would be cool if it was Marks next movie lmao

[hazy pasture]

Szymanski cooks every fucking time

[wintry forge]

Apparently so. No wonder Hulshult on the project

[hazy pasture]

Also Power Washing Simulator collabs with Iron Lung(movie)

[hazy pasture]

Lmao true

[wintry forge]

Yeah, dusk was an event to play. Truly a masterpiece

[hazy pasture]

Every single ost from the movie was amazing

[wintry forge]

The soundtrack was one of the best parts. I love the thing Andrew Hulshult posted on Insta about him humming a tune he thought of on-set before going home to work on it (It made it into the movie)

[hazy pasture]

Yup yup

[placid rampart]

Oooh david Szymanski mention, I’m a big fan.

[hazy pasture]

Btw the crawlspace was one of the earliest ideas laid out by David for the movie

[hazy pasture]

Yup

[placid rampart]

Has anyone played gloomwood?

[hazy pasture]

Me me

[wintry forge]

Looks great, but haven’t played

[placid rampart]

Nice, I haven’t got too far myself, but it seems to have a solid amount of content and polish for an early access game

[hazy pasture]

Agreed

[placid rampart]

It’s really cool so far, it’s like Thief, but has the surreal atmosphere Symanski is known for

[obsidian shard]

[lean bridge]

Just doing some UN runs and in the first chapter, a Sentinel was firing damage projectiles doing 50 damage

[obsidian shard]

I freaking love that bug

[lean bridge]

I don't

[obsidian shard]

Its the Vagary projectile lol

[lean bridge]

It's doing the Ebony and Ivory

[echo tree]

I’ve been expecting the Khan Maykr to return in the DLC; glad to see that it’s confirmed

I hope FM uses the motif that Mick made for her, though it’s likely that they’ll just stick with their own Maykr theme from TDA, which is similar anyway

[lean bridge]

She's returning in the DLC???

[meager vortex]

yes

[echo tree]

Yeah, I just saw Horde mention that and then looked for the news in here as well

[lean bridge]

She better be a boss or a cutscene

[echo tree]

Prolly just a supporting character
Not an enemy

[meager vortex]

she died eternal remember

[lean bridge]

We better get more lore about the games

[lean bridge]

Ik, it would be fun for her to be a boss though, then she just runs away when we beat her

[meager vortex]

that is no sense

[echo tree]

During the sentinel wars she just made the sentinels and demons do her bidding, likely without any direct confrontation

I also recall there being some lore about maykrs not manifesting physically outside their realm or something
Which is kinda contradicted by some of TDA tho

I don’t think the sentinel wars will be explored too deeply in the DLC

[lean bridge]

That makes more sense, but I'm just saying it would be kind of fun

Like how no one expected that we would be killing Cthulhu, it wouldn't be expected we would fight the Khan Maykr in the prequel

[obsidian shard]

The Civil War will most def be its own game

DLC will probs tease it

[meager vortex]

if she run away she waited eternal????

[echo tree]

There will be too much to focus on for her to have a boss fight anyway
Cuz we’re gonna deal with the high council and more of the cosmic realm

[meager vortex]

that is no good for her

slayer he will track her down

[lean bridge]

And the hunting of the Hell Priest we saw in the beginning and the end, or were they already the Hell Priests that were in Eternal?

[meager vortex]

and that time slayer he don't know her weak spot

[echo tree]

That’s a demonic priest, unlike the corrupted order of deag who are argenta/human

[meager vortex]

her chest

[hazy pasture]

It's the most important event that happened during the Unholy Crusades

[lean bridge]

Then he's going to hunt the priest down

[echo tree]

He’s associated with the council so ya

[lean bridge]

I have a gut feeling that if the game does come out, we might get more lore about the 1993 game

Hell, maybe a remaster

[meager vortex]

hell is ruin by slayer

https://tenor.com/view/desert-dry-tumbleweed-roll-dust-gif-5348866

hell priest he will down or survive

[hazy pasture]

Huh? The DLC WILL come out lol

[hazy pasture]

Yup

[meager vortex]

dlc coming but year of 2026

[hazy pasture]

Real

[meager vortex]

yes real but we don't know what date coming

[lean bridge]

I mean the Unholy Crusade game

[hazy pasture]

Oh I see

It'll very likely come out based on the streams and all

[solar spoke]

Idea, what if Id brought the Hellrazer from 2016 back but made it so that the shield saw could reflect its beam and cut down fodder demons with it?

[fleet spruce]

that's a pretty cool idea

[placid rampart]

id, hire this man

[harsh egret]

yh imagine a shield rune or smth that would make ur shield deflect incoming non-parryable projectiles for a short duration after parrying

[solar spoke]

neat idea, the deflected attacks could be either scattershot with no tracking or could do less damage than genuine parryables to balance out

[frail bloom]

Or a rune for infighting

[frail bloom]

That's also awesome

[harsh egret]

imo it should be seeking projectiles to make it a bit different from the daggers but it should be a very brief period of time where it triggers and probably a bigger window between them

[solar spoke]

fair, it's a solid idea overall

[obsidian shard]

Starts as one then 2 then 3 then for a period of time

[thin hound]

I’ve been asking for Hell razers to return for years

[brittle finch]

This game has an amazing DRS implementation ngl

That or TAA looks so blurry that it hardly makes a difference anyways

[brittle finch]

They should hire you frfr

[merry sapphire]

they should do a marvel rivals and doom the dark ages collab

[thin hound]

Wouldn’t make sense at all

If DOOM collabs with anything outside of ID’s franchises again it would probably be either Halo or Predator

[obsidian shard]

That would be cool, Don't know how rivals would do collabs tho so that complicates things

[obsidian shard]

Fortnite

[thin hound]

They already did

[obsidian shard]

That was Eternal

[wintry forge]

lol I literally redownloaded Fortnite after years for the Eternal skin. I’d probably do the same just to get TDA skin, if they did another collab

[solid nacelle]

I played that entire fortnite season just so I could get all of his color variants

[obsidian shard]

same lmao'

[random sand]

Doubt they will since it's been so long since TDA launched and fortnite typically does collabs like that for the hype of its recent launch (allthough i too would download the game again if they did make a TDA skin)

[wintry forge]

I think it took about a year and a half after Eternal launched for them to collab

[wintry forge]

Best glider in all of Fortnite

[random sand]

Eternal was different since that was the first doom collab. It wasn't correlated with anything. They just did a doom collab. And also, it was nearly 3 years

If they were to do another one with TDA, i just can't see it randomly happening. It'd have to be connected to something. At best, maybe the upcoming DLC

[obsidian shard]

The Fortnite and DOOM collab came out 2 years after Eternal Released (2 year 9 months to be specific)

SO it could be random again

[wintry forge]

Yeah, came out winter 2022

[obsidian shard]

2022...

[random sand]

Doom eternal launched in march of 2020. Chapter 4 season 1 (when the doom collab came) launched in december of 2022. As i said, nearly 3 years. And also, as i also said, that doom collab wasn't meant to be correlated with anything. They just wanted to collab with doom because it's a popular franchise. I can't see it being done again randomly for TDA

[wintry forge]

Typo, that’s my bad lmao

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/the-two-towers-lord-of-the-rings-aragorn-helm’s-deep-hope-gif-8669068073397169641

[random sand]

Lmao. Ofc. I hope for it too. But knowing fortnite, i doubt it'll ever happen

[wintry forge]

I don’t expect another Doom collab anytime soon, but it’s still a possibility. Always welcome

[unkempt dragon]

Hi friends

[random sand]

I can only see it maybe happening once the DLC comes rolling around. Other than that, i doubt it

I don't know anything about rayman

I don't wanna go off-topic so I'll keep it brief, but we've been going through extreme highs and extreme lows constantly shifting since 2006

[versed quarry]

Ah

[solar spoke]

damn, that might be even more potent

[solar spoke]

Intern as one of the survivors?

[frosty roost]

Maybe Doom Slayer as a survivor and Marauder as a killer??

[solar spoke]

I could see the Marauder or an Archvile as a killer. Maybe '93 Doomguy as a survivor?

I couldn't see modern trilogy Slayer as a survivor tbh

https://tenor.com/view/doom-guy-demon-2016-gif-10925418

not with him doing this on a regular basis

[thin hound]

Hell razer as survivor and prowler as killer

I can’t imagine the Slayer running away like a coward

[frail bloom]

New monitors? What for?

[obsidian shard]

Just upgrading I Suppose

The Post had DOOM: TDA EVERYWHERE

Like holy shit

[frail bloom]

Interesting

[ocean ore]

hmmm

i just installed doom dark ages... it runs better than doom eternal, and cooler on my gpu...

[solar spoke]

watch them port TDA to the original switch next

[ocean ore]

ahh nice, this is cool. i like the glowing yellow eyes, throwback to the OG invulnerability powerup?

[foggy fable]

Nah original switch definitley isn’t possible. But switch 2 is

[ocean ore]

this is much more like OG doom than 16 and eternal were

[frail bloom]

Hm how

[ocean ore]

without that ridiculous double jumping and dashing

[frail bloom]

Oh that

What else makes it more like classic doom

[obsidian shard]

Dodging and the Exploration

i think it was speakers

but yeah it seems like they are in doom tda mode rn

[obsidian shard]

AHEM, Professionally they are called Monitors 🤓 ☝️

Chilling rn too, Just finishing up some Editing and what not

[harsh egret]

what u editing?

[obsidian shard]

DLC infographic stuff

[harsh egret]

ah nicee

[frosty roost]

@obsidian shard what would you think?

[obsidian shard]

I like the Idea

[ornate cypress]

i like the first two dooms alot and the third one

i think the first one was the best for its time but they all amazing

[frosty roost]

maybe

[frail bloom]

Do you mean 2016 or Doom 1?

[frosty roost]

i mean like doom slayer as the survivor and marauder as the killer

[obsidian shard]

Yes, Tho kinda meh on DOOMguy

[frosty roost]

who would you pick?

[obsidian shard]

Marauder

[frosty roost]

just marauder for killer?

[obsidian shard]

ye

You could do anything for killer really

[hard thistle]

I’m just popping in, but DOOM 3 Guy as survivor and the Nightmare Imp Stalker as killer!

[umbral flint]

any news on the dlc?

[mystic barn]

Yeah, it’s coming out next week!

[frail bloom]

Doom the Dark ages dlc releases .-- .... . -. -.-- --- ..- --. . - .- .--- --- -...

[solar spoke]

new idea, Pain elemental as killer

https://tenor.com/view/doom-creepy-scream-gif-12314061

[thin hound]

I was thinking that too, would be very unique and the pain killer could totally work in a horror setting

[frail bloom]

Anyways Daisy's in the dlc in someway

Most likely flashback

[umbral flint]

Ok thanks

[obsidian shard]

#the-dark-ages message

[thin hound]

Wait the spear is confirmed?

[frail bloom]

No of course not

But y'know, what else rhymes with steer

That is realistic

[thin hound]

Halberd

I must’ve missed that hint

[frail bloom]

Um

I don't think Halberd rhymes with steer

[thin hound]

Just messing around

[frail bloom]

Yu never know

Now I know

[obsidian shard]

The Leap/Teleport ability comes from Midnight Hugo gave an "Intereting..." Respsone

[frail bloom]

Well he did say intereting true...

[thin hound]

What if we get an enemy type that functions like a green flesh node for mobility? That’d be cool

[frail bloom]

Hm

Possible

[fleet spruce]

imagine, a whip sword

[frail bloom]

Balrog

From lotr, but as a vassago

Peak.

[obsidian shard]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VODbt07vWro&t=503s
Spear from 3-7:10

[frail bloom]

MY EYES

Midnight contrast filter goes crazy

[obsidian shard]

so peak

[frail bloom]

[thin hound]

“That is a weapon, not a teleporter.”

[gusty seal]

according to the top 5 medieval weapons we are missing a scythe, boiling oil, and a war elephant.
so maybe like another dragon mount that craps hot lava could be added too

[halcyon harbor]

Is the game supposed to crash when I change graphics settings? And then when I force close the game and boot it again it just loads to a black screen so I can't change anything. A complete reinstall is the only way to fix it but I still can't play the game since I can't change graphics settings

[fleet spruce]

that's not supposed to happen

weird technical issue right here

[halcyon harbor]

i checked online and according to a reddit post its at least an 8 month old issue

classic

[slender night]

You good man?

[meager vortex]

just kidding man

[mystic barn]

Weirdchamp

[frosty roost]

can you not...?

[vivid stump]

b

[elder raven]

so i dont think you should say this

[fleet spruce]

lmao

[frail bloom]

Average Doom fanboy

[foggy fable]

Let’s not get overly excessive with the vulgarity yeah?

[frosty roost]

thank you legend

[thick olive]

Hi, I have just finished playing Doom the dark ages

And I must say that I miss gloty kills and the unique use each gun had in Doom Eternal, with this doom I feel like you can just grab any gun and finish the game with it

[wide siren]

yep, you can, and that’s what everyone was crying for with eternal

but all the guns are fun and some have really good synergy with certain runes/melee so you can in a way have ”builds”

[thick olive]

It would be awesome if they released and update where we could just have more strategic uses for the guns

[foggy fable]

Technically there is. Some weapons naturally feel better vs some enemies while not being forced

[wide siren]

well so far it sounds like the dlc will turn up the challenge, and you can already find plenty of community made ripatorium encounters that force you to be more aware of what you use

but you’re not wrong

[thick olive]

I haven't tried the ripatorium yet, I want to get %100 completition in the campaign first

[wide siren]

it was a design choice they made consciously

[frail bloom]

You choose whatever suits your playstyle

Sometimes it's better to use other weapons

Grenade launcher for large crowds of heavies, accelerator for high single target dps and faltering, ssg cuz it's the most straightforward, rocket launcher for distance, impaler for efficiency against bosses

Chainshot for getting rid of armor, it goes on

[thick olive]

I played the game using mainly the SSG I didn't feel the need to change it., I could get rid of the armour with the SSG, demons didn't have a weak spot so I just needed to deal damage regardless of where I was aiming

[frail bloom]

Ye bc it's built for that

Like all the other weapons

[wide siren]

you can amputate the demons for funsies though

[foggy fable]

But also like….you could just swap to other weapons

[hazy pasture]

Howdy folks

[frail bloom]

Yeah it's more fun to use different weapons

And like eternal, it is more efficient

[wide siren]

if you’re going for 100% on the weapons too, you’ll probably see the fun in switching, but you right in saying the campaign doesn’t really force it on you

[frail bloom]

In eternal, you can cheese it the same way

Ssg, ballista, chaingunshield

The holy trio

[twilit stone]

in eternal i just ballista + ssg my whole way through that game

[frail bloom]

Yup

[thin hound]

Not sticky bombs?

[twilit stone]

i dont even think i used the meathook on my first playthrough lmao

[thick olive]

Yes, but just because I wanted to, not because the game forces you into that

[wide siren]

illegal

[thick olive]

Exactly

[hazy pasture]

In TDA swapping weapons adds to the cool gameplay factor

Not that it's essential

[frail bloom]

Ok but switching is beneficial

[hazy pasture]

But I would say some demons have "weak points"

[thin hound]

Plasma!

[hazy pasture]

Like the rider acts as one

[thin hound]

Plasma shields and armor are basically the only weakpoints

[hazy pasture]

Arms of Mancubi and Hell Knights

[thin hound]

Yeah you can blow them off

[thick olive]

I agree, and the demons are forming a line so you can kill them with the shield easily every time you see them with the shield

[thin hound]

I hope we get more weakpoints for the DLC

[frail bloom]

No point for those since we have no railguns

[twilit stone]

and no sniper

[thin hound]

Or weaknesses

[twilit stone]

(i think, cant remember)

[frail bloom]

Nope no snipers

[thick olive]

I guess, I prefer the strategy of changing guns based on the demon I'm facing

[thin hound]

Yes me too

[slender night]

No railguns it's over

[frail bloom]

You can still do that

[slender night]

DOOM is shedding its Quakeiness

[frail bloom]

And it does benefit

[thin hound]

DOOM The Dark Ages literally has a nailgun though

[slender night]

Railgun

[frail bloom]

Using grenade launcher for a crowd of pinkies and mancs is more beneficial than using the ssg

[twilit stone]

difference between rail and nail

[thin hound]

Nailgun, the shredder

Which is from Quake

[slender night]

Railgun bro

[twilit stone]

rail

[frail bloom]

Using a parry charged rocket and healing yourself with it is better than the ssg in some cases

[twilit stone]

with an R

[wide siren]

”rhymes with steer” made everyone thing spear, but hugo just trolling and it’s a snipeeear

[frail bloom]

Using the accelerator for the vagary melts it

I can keep going

[thin hound]

I’m saying even though TDA doesn’t have a railgun, it has a nailgun which is still like Quake

[slender night]

Well we're not talking about the nailgun

[frail bloom]

You can just use the ssg, but nothing in the game stops you from expirementing

[twilit stone]

the shredder actually reminds me a lot of Quake 4's nailgun specifically, I wonder if that's intentional

[frail bloom]

That's why the ripatorium is also a must play

[twilit stone]

cuz you are also in a war alongside allies in that game

[frail bloom]

Ppl use the enemies better than the campaign does in some cases

[slender night]

TDA keeps stealing from Raven 💔 💔

[thin hound]

No both are ID games, therefore not stealing

[slender night]

Raven

[thick olive]

That's my point, before you had to use other guns to face the hordes more efficiently, now I just took my SSG and threw the shield and that was it

[thin hound]

Quake Champions

[twilit stone]

ID distributed Quake 4, Raven Software made it

[slender night]

What?

[frail bloom]

You can take every gun and do that

Not just the ssg

This isn't 2016

Trust me every gun works

[slender night]

Also no that's not even right, id had NOTHING to do with Quake 4 💔

TDA thief game smh smh (I'm being sarcastic obviously)

[twilit stone]

fr? dang you learn smth new everyday

[slender night]

Ye it was Activ and then Bethesda

[thin hound]

It wasn’t mentioned during the anniversary stream the other day

[twilit stone]

https://tenor.com/view/sus-rock-gif-23559354

[slender night]

Because id Software anniversary stream actually means DOOM: The Dark Ages stream

No love for the underdogs

[twilit stone]

(not that i'd disagree)

[thick olive]

That's why It lacks the strategic gameplay, if any gun can do the work, then why having them?

[thin hound]

Maybe that’s why most people don’t know there even is a Quake 4

[slender night]

People absolutely do know lol

If you care enough to engage with Quake on a surface level then you know Quake 4

[frail bloom]

Fits your playstyle, some ppl can use weapons much better than others. The ssg is just an entrypoint gun honestly

[thin hound]

I didn’t know before you guys too me, and I’ve only ever heard people talk about 1-3

[wide siren]

for me, combining the melee, shield and weapon play scratches the same itch that switching did in eternal. So I don’t think it really lacks in strategy, but to each their own. Both are awesome games

[thin hound]

To anyone outside of the main Quake fanbase

[slender night]

Well you think Quake should be a DOOM spin-off so I'm not surprised

[thin hound]

I mean modern Quake basically is tied to DOOM

[twilit stone]

(it is the least talked about in all fairness, still good tho)

[slender night]

If you search up Quake in the store Quake 4 is in the top 4 results

[twilit stone]

dang nvm

[slender night]

I love TDA but it cannbalized Hexen and Quake which is BAD

[frail bloom]

Ruh roh

[thin hound]

I mean I’d rather we get those cool elements in a DOOM game than never see them at all, but I hope we still get those reboots at some point

[slender night]

I'm not entirely against their usage in TDA but it does keep the other two less unique

Like yeah they haven't had singleplayer games in a long time but like, we still had some singleplayer games, you can still retroactively suck uniqueness out of that like TDA kinda did

[twilit stone]

well they cant now because DOOM's stolen them. DOOM was the sci-fi one, Hexen was the medieval one, and Quake was both because something something identity crisis something something Quake II wasn't always called Quake II something something

[thin hound]

I think DOOM was the cyberdemonic one, Quake is the cyber eldritch one, and Hexen is medieval

[twilit stone]

and now DOOM is ALL of those at once

[slender night]

DOOM was Hell Quake was cosmic Hexen was medieval
Now DOOM is all

[frail bloom]

Eh

[thin hound]

Kind of, but not really true medieval

Hexen is pure fantasy

[slender night]

Set in a medieval world

[frail bloom]

I feel like heretic and hexen still have a much more medieval tone and aesthetic, you can still salvage them

[thin hound]

Medieval fantasy, DOOM is just science fiction with a few medieval inspirations

[slender night]

Few? 😭

TDA is medieval as all hell

[frail bloom]

Take out all the sci fi stuff

And raise the colors up a bit

[thin hound]

I don’t think they had shotguns, rocket launchers and plasma in those times

[slender night]

That really doesn't change all that much

[thin hound]

And it doesn’t take place in a fantasy universe nor in medieval times

[frail bloom]

To me, it is predominantly medieval but

[twilit stone]

it still has a medieval aesthetic, like that's clearly the whole game's intention. "Medieval DOOM"

[thin hound]

But yeah Quake basically has nothing that The Dark Ages doesn’t already do

Quake is pretty much DOOM The Dark Ages without the demonic elements

[frail bloom]

Why do ppl say that

[slender night]

I disagree with the consensus that TDA is more Quake than DOOM but I agree with the idea that TDA is close enough to Quake for a new Quake to be disregarded by a lot of people as just cheaper TDA

[frail bloom]

Only thing quakeish is the double plasma cycler

[slender night]

That's not really true...

[twilit stone]

except the Night Sentinels not being cool ass warriors and instead lame ass stock soldiers

[thin hound]

The nailgun and Cosmic Realm

[frail bloom]

What would it be?

The cosmic realm is lovecraftian, so what

[slender night]

So is Quake

[thin hound]

Quake is Lovecraftian

That’s the whole thing

[frail bloom]

But to me they don't look the same at all

[thin hound]

DOOM: Demons and technology
Quake: Lovecraftian and technology

[frail bloom]

Dark ages is like surface lovecraft

[twilit stone]

yeah like it is the most by the numbers stuff

[frail bloom]

Quake could go deeper than that

[slender night]

TDA is a medieval-style shooter with lovecraftian elements

[twilit stone]

Quake's lovecraftian horror is much more gothic

[thin hound]

Totally yes, because it’s the main focus

[slender night]

Quake is... a medieval-style shooter with lovecraftian elements

My point earlier wasn't that TDA is a Quake knockoff, it's that it cannibalizes the potential for a new Quake game by filling that role

[twilit stone]

(oh and some mild sci-fi at the start but nobody remembers that part)

[thin hound]

I though science fiction was a big part of Quake’s identity

[slender night]

The other Quake games yes, not the one we're talking about here

[twilit stone]

Quake II yeah, not really the first one

[thin hound]

There are characters with cybernetic limbs and advanced energy weapons

[wide siren]

seems likely they’d just tie the two games into one universe if a new quake got made. people love that stuff these days

[slender night]

Ok
Not in Quake 1 like we just said

[slender night]

Meh I don't care for crossovers

[frail bloom]

Me neither

[thin hound]

I’d like that for sure

[slender night]

I'd dig it if it was like Quake III (🤩) or Quake Champions (🤮) but anything excessive would be bad

[twilit stone]

yeah like as a joke it's fun

[thin hound]

They don’t need to explicitly connect the games, but just imply through the background that it’s taking place in the same universe

[slender night]

Yeah that's also bad tho!

[thin hound]

How?

[slender night]

Like these universes are nothing alike except being the same development team, attaching them for no real reason other than crappy fan service sucks

[thin hound]

They both have a very evident them of flesh and metal

[twilit stone]

doom already mentioned slipgates and introduced multiverse concepts in Eternal, it's gonna happen whether we like it or not 😑

[thin hound]

And heavy metal

[slender night]

That's it?

Incredible

[thin hound]

And now Cosmic Realm stuff

[frail bloom]

Nooo

[twilit stone]

it will im telling you

this is Hugo Martin writing we're talking about here

[thin hound]

Yeah I think they say Slipgate at least twice in DOOM

[frail bloom]

But he loves making doom games

[slender night]

TDA DLC Quake crossover I will actually be fuming

[thin hound]

Well I’ll be basking in the greatness

[frail bloom]

Yummy slop

[twilit stone]

he also loves the MCU

[wide siren]

tda dlc is quake confirmed

[slender night]

No offense man but you've only played Champions, if you played deeper into Quake you'd realize it deserves far more than just being a sister franchise to DOOM

[thin hound]

DOOM The Dark Ages: Just Quake

[frail bloom]

Ok, well

[thin hound]

The DLC title

[frail bloom]

That dlc doesn't sound so marvel

[thin hound]

No matter what it deserves, it seems to be on that trajectory already, and I like it

[slender night]

What do I even say to this

[twilit stone]

that's true, which is why it sounds actually good

[frail bloom]

Nothing

[slender night]

I'm genuinely at a loss of words this is such a comical statement

[frail bloom]

Ikr right I'm feining

[slender night]

I'm a FAN of the idea of cannibalizing a franchise I don't care much for in sacrifice to one I love!

[thin hound]

Alright DC fan

[frail bloom]

Oopx

I said right twice

Oh well

[twilit stone]

im gonna like it better than the base game based on the first person only focus ALONE

[frail bloom]

Ik bro

[twilit stone]

i dont like superheroes in general tbh, except like.. Venom or smth

[frail bloom]

I might like it more than 2016

Based on how locked in they are

[green estuary]

not gonna happen dw
the most they did was make a couple half assed references in the live service aspect of eternal

[slender night]

I hope so

[twilit stone]

yea not happening lol, at least for me

[wide siren]

cut scenes may be first person but hugo said nothing about the combat….

[green estuary]

I actually still have that quake podium equipped in DE

[thin hound]

Honestly Venom and the MCU is quite comparable to Quake and DOOM

[frail bloom]

Ah it will if it delivers

[slender night]

What's that supposed to imply

[thin hound]

I mean not completely

[green estuary]

difference being venom is peak and the mcu is hot garbage, whereas quake and doom are equally awesome

[slender night]

What do you MEAN

[twilit stone]

god then its gonna feel even more like RE4

[frail bloom]

Satisfying narrative, extenstive exploration and combat

Much more focused

Right up my alley

[thin hound]

So much MCU hate

[slender night]

For good reason

[green estuary]

because they spit out undercooked stuff time and time again

[twilit stone]

don't hate, just don't care for in the slightest. I'll give it credit for accomplishing what it is

[wide siren]

they put half the budget into that fur cape, you have to see it more

[foggy jasper]

Quake 2 > Doom 1

[green estuary]

yeah sure they make something decent occasionally, but that's to be expected when you're putting out a million releases a year

[slender night]

I'll say based just for being an unpopular yet valid opinion

[green estuary]

100 percent

[slender night]

Quake 2 > Eternal

[green estuary]

alr you lost me there lol

[twilit stone]

okay dont push it

[green estuary]

I like quake 2 but I don't like it that much

[frail bloom]

I've played 4 hours of quake 2

[slender night]

I love Quake II and like Eternal

[frail bloom]

That's all I have to say

[foggy jasper]

As of right now I agree honestly because I've played 4 hours of Doom Eternal

[green estuary]

if you were to say quake 1 > eternal, then I might be on board with that

[twilit stone]

I love every id game (except TDA )

[thin hound]

You’ve got to get back to it, then!

[green estuary]

[frail bloom]

Daisy emoji! Daisy is coming back

[slender night]

I love them all except RtCW, but that one is only a half-id game

[foggy jasper]

My PC storage 😭

[frail bloom]

Oh btw anome

[thin hound]

It’s fine, I’m sure you don’t need all those Windows files

[frail bloom]

Daisy is coming back

[slender night]

I saw and I hated

[green estuary]

gotta cycle through those installed games lol

[frail bloom]

Lmao

You worry too much

[thin hound]

I once closed out several Windows applications to save VRAM or something and locked myself out of my computer

[foggy jasper]

BF6, Helldivers 2, Alan Wake 2 and Doom Eternal don't want to coexist

[slender night]

A benefit of old games is their filesize

My XSS can't fit four TDAs but it could fit 600 Rayman 2s

[foggy jasper]

Microsoft Copilot and Edge taking up 2 GB of ram for no reason

[frail bloom]

Next game abt to be 100 gigs

Sigh

[thin hound]

Those you can close I hope

[foggy jasper]

You can, but windows just starts them up again 🙄

[thin hound]

I always have DOOM, DOOM Eternal, and The Dark Ages installed on my PC

And usually Quake Champions

[slender night]

Sorry for your loss

[foggy jasper]

Worth it

[thin hound]

I have the space

1 TB is all you need maybe

[obsidian shard]

2 sides of the same coin ahhh

[foggy jasper]

I only have 1TB and a 100+ game library 🫠

[slender night]

I used to dislike QC but Squid's statements today have made me borderline hate it 😌

[thin hound]

It’s fun, go play some

[slender night]

I'm good

[foggy jasper]

I also just realized I somehow have yet to finish Doom 2016

[frail bloom]

Squid, tell anome abt what you think of daisy

[twilit stone]

https://tenor.com/view/dew-it-galactic-republic-palpatine-gif-21847982

[frail bloom]

Riveting it was

[thin hound]

What does Anome have another contrarian DOOM opinion?

[slender night]

Oh god what does he think of Daisy

[frail bloom]

Absolutely astonishing

[slender night]

Define contrarian

[twilit stone]

fucking stupid robot thing

[slender night]

Because depending on the definition you are either saying something true or completely false

[frail bloom]

Squid, should doom guy have a family, and what is daisy's role

Go in depth

[twilit stone]

oh this is GETTING REAL

[frail bloom]

Prolong it

[thin hound]

Daisy’s death is really important to DOOM’s story because it’s what began the Slayer’s rage towards the demons

[frail bloom]

[slender night]

Whatever man

[frail bloom]

Keep going

[slender night]

I heard worse today from him this is light work

[foggy jasper]

True

[frail bloom]

No no keep going

[slender night]

No reaction

[frail bloom]

NO

[thin hound]

I mean you can just scroll up or search for it in one of the channels, I don’t have time for this

[foggy jasper]

||Also Serrat I think||

[wide siren]

daisy coming back in the dlc as the slayers new fur loin cloth is really going to upset some people

[twilit stone]

who?

[thin hound]

Serrat was the next step that refreshed his anger

[green estuary]

1 side of the same coin lmao

[foggy jasper]

It's a TDA spoiler

[twilit stone]

god even through text im amazing at sarcasm lol

[slender night]

This is why I don't want Daisy returning in the DLC

[green estuary]

no need to spoiler tag stuff, the game's been out for 9 months atp

[frosty roost]

wtf is going on? i just had food

[foggy jasper]

True

[slender night]

I'm too worried they'll lean into the silly and imo inferior narrative that Daisy is the reason he does literally everything

[foggy jasper]

He's got a point

[thin hound]

I don’t have any super outrageous opinions on Daisy, Samir just has a problem with the established story or something, he isn’t an animal lover

[green estuary]

we can hope not

[obsidian shard]

Tell me bout it lol, I just woke up

[frail bloom]

She isn't being ressurected, and I doubt it's gonna be like what you think it is

[twilit stone]

yep, and totally ignore the family, his buddies on mars, humanity, the Sentinels, everything

[frosty roost]

I was just watching a video and I come back to see something

[slender night]

There's no drama guys come on

[twilit stone]

we're having a very civil discussion actually, no hard feelings here, this is all just really funny to me

[wide siren]

next twist is daisy being the creator of davoth

[foggy jasper]

I think it's because Serrat and Daisy died that just started his rage against the demons, and then after that he just kills them because of what they do to innocent people / he protects the people of earth

[thin hound]

Exactly! Thank you!

[slender night]

I have had this exact same convo like fifty times by now

[frosty roost]

tbf i have no clue so my apologies

[slender night]

I forgive you, it's okay to have no

[frail bloom]

Guys Hugo won't do this to y'all

If he says meaningful then I'll believe it

[thin hound]

There’s a difference between having only one motivation and having a main motivation, and nobody is saying that Daisy is the only reason

[slender night]

A lot of people do actually

[wide siren]

a loin cloth can be very meaningful is all i’m saying

[frail bloom]

Boi

[thin hound]

Daisy is what matters most, but there are other things too

[fleet spruce]

I'm most likely delusional but what if it'll be a hell on earth flashback of him finding his family and the rabbit all massacred which is why Daisy was mentioned

[slender night]

That would be ideal

[frail bloom]

I would pay 100 bucks to just hear what could be his family's voices

[frail bloom]

Oh I didn't expect smt dark

But, yes

[wide siren]

it makes sense. daisy, slayers abs…

[twilit stone]

Daisy is SYMBOLIC for innocent lives being taken for no good reason by pure evil, and that being what Doomguy fights for

that's it, that's her purpose

[frail bloom]

I'd love that too

[thin hound]

Why would the Slayer have a painting of him holding Daisy in his fortress, and keep her cage and food then?

[slender night]

Because he... misses her...?

[thin hound]

Yes

[frail bloom]

Lol

[thin hound]

It’s more than just symbolism

[slender night]

???

[frosty roost]

why the fuck would you ask that?

[slender night]

What is your point here man

What are you trying to enlighten us with

[frail bloom]

E v e r y t h i n g

🕺

[thin hound]

My point it that the Slayer truly cared about his pet rabbit, and some of you seem to have a problem with that for some reason

[frail bloom]

No he did

[slender night]

That's not what's being described here at all

[frail bloom]

He also happened

To care abt his human friends, family and everyone else important in his life

[slender night]

We are saying he cared, we are just saying that saying he's fighting these extreme battles JUST for the rabbit and with her as his main motivation and not like, the countless lives lost overall, like entire cities burning and almost all of humanity, is silly

[thin hound]

That’s what keeps his rage and motivation going

But the thing that makes him most angry is losing his pets

[fading bone]

im fine with daisy just being a fun little easter egg reference to the originals, not being a main thing

[slender night]

Way to make him seem like he has really bad morals

Humanity was almost driven to extinction, but... but... rabbit...

[thin hound]

How? Everyone has a more personal connection to their loved ones

[slender night]

He had more loved ones than just her

[frail bloom]

He had multiple loved ones

[fading bone]

but also its doom who cares about the story i just want to shoot demons

[thin hound]

Maybe

[twilit stone]

None of these games have Daisy's death as Doomguy's motivation.
In I it's getting the fuck out of dodge
In II it's saving humanity
In 64 it's stopping the Mother Demon from resurrecting all the demons
In TDA it's winning the war against Hell with the Sentinels
in 2016 it's avenging the loss of the Sentinels and shutting down Argent Energy production
in Eternal it's saving the world again
in TAG it's killing God

[frail bloom]

Why does he sound so lonely lmao

He has a rabbit and that's it

[slender night]

The only one is E4 and that's like, 9 levels, not a whole lot at all

[frail bloom]

Why

[twilit stone]

exactly!

[slender night]

Also mr. Epic I thought you don't believe in the originals, wouldn't NuDOOM indicate his rage is from the divinity machine?

[thin hound]

No

That gave him is super soldier power

It’s very heavily implied that Daisy’s death was the original cause of the Slayer’s hatred towards the demons back in the First Age

[frail bloom]

All Ik is that Hugo said Doomguy's abs, fun to learn abt slayers past, and daisy. Do with that what you will. I don't think they're going all in on fanservice they must have a good reason

[twilit stone]

I know which one I'm most excited about now

[frosty roost]

go on

[wide siren]

abs obv

[slender night]

I'm most excited about my 30 bucks spent on premium edition actually being worth it

[frail bloom]

Abs bc the classic doomguy suit exposed abs

[slender night]

Mid skins and music rips is like, not very good content rn...

[frail bloom]

I was implying it's all connected

We're gonna have a flashback sequence

[frail bloom]

Ye not exactly worth it besides that dlc

[twilit stone]

no shit especially not for you know $120🤬

[thin hound]

It was $100

[frail bloom]

Different countries

[wide siren]

would be fun if we got a playable flashback

[frail bloom]

Have different prices

With different tax rates

[frail bloom]

Hm

Hm

[frosty roost]

£100 for the premium edition in the united kingdom

[fleet spruce]

i spent 50$

[frail bloom]

Lucky

[fleet spruce]

for premium edition

[slender night]

I bought the game full price one day before the 50% sale FML

[frail bloom]

Dw bro you supported the id cause

[thin hound]

I beat the game before it even released to the public

[frail bloom]

The dlc is better thanks to you bro

[twilit stone]

i also had to pay another $60 so i could getthepremimum 😄

[slender night]

Do you mean the 3-day early access?

[thin hound]

Yes

[twilit stone]

for context that is more expensive than Eternal at FULL PRICE over here

[slender night]

You do know that's still a public release tho lol

[frail bloom]

Those who paid full price are carrying🕊️

[slender night]

It's just for a specific edition

[obsidian shard]

I beat it like a week early lol

[thin hound]

Yeah but I don’t know how else to call it

[slender night]

In early access

[obsidian shard]

Collectors Edition be funny

[frail bloom]

Oh ye that early release

I played the game a week after everyone else

100 bucks well spent

That dlc better be succulent

[slender night]

I upgraded to an XSS just so I could play TDA freshly after release

...I then got too lazy to buy it because I did not care for it and only played through it in November

[wide siren]

i kinda just threw this out there, but it would actually be more doable with tda combat than eternal

[frail bloom]

And then you were enlightened

[slender night]

Yes

[frail bloom]

Indeed

[slender night]

No what

[twilit stone]

bro i cant have no fun here ;-:

[thin hound]

I built an entire PC for the first time to be perfectly fit to run The Dark Ages at max graphics settings a few months before release

[frail bloom]

Yes

[slender night]

I'm still on a GTX 1650 cuz I play grandpa games

It runs Rayman 2 at 60fps I'm happy enough

[wide siren]

i didn’t do it for (just) tda, but i’m in the same boat. good timing for a new pc too

[frail bloom]

What's a Zalgo

[twilit stone]

i was gonna make a sarcastic comment with glitch text

[frosty roost]

my 1650 blew up because my fucking fan broke and could only play certain games

[frail bloom]

Ahhh okay

[frail bloom]

Ye just get rid of the shield

Boom

Would make a good challenging segment

Problem is, you have to make like 8 new enemies

[wide siren]

good point 😅

[frail bloom]

Ye lol

[twilit stone]

you'd also have to add in humanity and the UAC, something TDA just doesn't like at all

[thin hound]

For a flashback? They could just reskin

[slender night]

Just force people to play through DOOM 1993 to progress so we can finally see more love for peak

[frail bloom]

Why would the uac be intergrated

[thin hound]

“No”

[wide siren]

all of doom 93 as a flashback

[frail bloom]

If I had to make a game based on the unholy wars, the uac doesn't cross my mind

It sucks but it makes sense

[thin hound]

The UAC didn’t even exist before TDA

[slender night]

It did

[frosty roost]

it did

[twilit stone]

becaaaause if the Forsaken Plains actually does resemble the Hell Map from DOOM I, then we could potentially find Phobos and Deimos after they got dragged into Hell again!!

[thin hound]

I think it was founded in the 21st century

[frail bloom]

Ohhhhhhh

Look at you, lore nerd

I'd dig that

[twilit stone]

and it'd be like the Ishimura part of Dead Space 2, it'd be literally my favourite thing in a DOOM game ever

[frail bloom]

And the flashback sequences would make sense!!!!

He'd be triggered

[twilit stone]

EXACTLY, you can explore more of his PTSD stuff

[frail bloom]

Boi we cooking

[slender night]

It existed in the original Earthly realm, they could theoretically do what the Slayer did to get to Argent d'Nur

[thin hound]

We are not going to see the UAC, guaranteed

[twilit stone]

laaaaame

booooo

[frail bloom]

Not confirmed

[slender night]

Guys EpicSquid guaranteed it

So like, it's not happening, pack your bags

[frail bloom]

We have daisy, most likely classic doomguy, flashback sequences

[thin hound]

The closest is the Sentinel bases the UAC later likely finds

[frail bloom]

Something has to prompt such things

Causation and correlation and allat

[thin hound]

Probably finding the meaningful weapon

[twilit stone]

that is literally exactly what im saying. We find the abandoned Phobos and/or Deimos and get a level or two in em

[thin hound]

From Hebeth?

[twilit stone]

okay i confused both of us nvm lol

[thin hound]

It just doesn’t make much sense with the timeline, and there’s already enough going on that they need to do in the DLC

[slender night]

Rule of cool

More Classic DOOM would be cool

[thin hound]

No that’s Rule of Fanservice

Only cool for classic fans

[slender night]

So like most of the fanbase

[thin hound]

I don’t know

[twilit stone]

it'd be more interesting than some more lame and pointless cosmic realm levels

[thin hound]

How? The last two games focused a ton on the UAC, the Cosmic Realm is new

[frail bloom]

We can have both

[twilit stone]

i genuinely dont know why tf the Cosmic Realm is still a thing if the Witch is gone, like that'd be the IDEAL reason to have it be in the DLC again and yet she's just.. dead now

[slender night]

I think Eternal focused on anything but the UAC

[thin hound]

I don’t think Ulsamir is dead, but she probably won’t return in the DLC from what I’ve heard I think

[twilit stone]

yea Eternal was only half "Hell on Earth" unfortunately

[slender night]

It's okay we had a better Hell on Earth game 26 years before that

[thin hound]

Around half of the enemies were enhanced by the UAC, and there were like 4 UAC location missions

[slender night]

(A better game overall imo but I know that's a hot take)

[twilit stone]

Hugo confirmed she isn't, which is so baffling to me. Like that'd be such a driving motivator

[slender night]

The former is reaaaally in the background though, I would hardly call it focus

[thin hound]

That is weird and contradicts the codexes

[twilit stone]

aside from the shitty ass level design in the second half, yeah

[slender night]

Maybe it's objectively bad, but it's experimental, I think it's a nice breath of fresh air even if the breath smells like shit sometimes

[thin hound]

I think DOOM Eternal had plenty of Earth missions

[slender night]

Hardly focused on the actual terror of Hell being on Earth though. You have the UAC logs, the first and last mission, and that's kinda it

Maaaybe ARC Complex? But I think that level doesn't shine on it enough

[thin hound]

There are 8 Earth missions including the DLC

[twilit stone]

Super Gore Nest is there too.. even tho the lighting in that level kinda sux

[slender night]

Did you not read what I just said brah

[thin hound]

Well DOOM isn’t really about terror much

[slender night]

When I think Hell on Earth I think of the panic associated with that, the disastrous consequences, in TAG 2 you just go there and nothing interesting happens

[ocean ore]

finished level 4, took about 4 tries to kill the vagary. gonna take a break now to study. level 5 is next

im not gonna lie, this game is 1000x better than doom eternal

[slender night]

Not the Slayer's terror as much as the terror of humans I meant. Though it was about terror before 2016

[twilit stone]

doom 3 doesn't exist it didnt happen shhh shhh shhhhhgh

[slender night]

Slander?

[thin hound]

I don’t know, I like the variety of different Earth locations we got, made it feel much more interesting that than essentially the two location types we got in DOOM

[twilit stone]

nah im playin, doom 3 rocks

[slender night]

We are going agonizingly off-topic though, if you guys wanna keep going I think it should continue in #general so we don't get fucked over

[twilit stone]

tru

[ocean ore]

HMP difficulty in this game actually feels forgiving unlike doom eternal, maybe i just suck

gonna up the difficulty pretty soon once i get used to it more

[green estuary]

tda's default sliders are undertuned tbh

[ocean ore]

the weapons here are all very situational, unlike in doom eternal where you can pretty much use anything on anyone

large mobs of zombies = skullcrusher or shield bash charge, dudes with energy shields = plasma gun, dudes with iron shields = shield throw

guy on the demon mount = nailgun thing forgot what its called already lol

[heady trout]

okay tbf this is just a product of u starting out and not knowing how versatile weapons can be

[ocean ore]

yeah I didnt finish the game, about to start the dragon riding level once i get on again

so i only have a few of the guns

[heady trout]

like I'm not joking you could beat the entire game with only the accelerator (aka plasma rifle)

[ocean ore]

yeah i did notice its the best close-mid range gun in the arsenal early on

good for the mount riders and mancubi

pretty satisfying mowing down an entire screen with the pulverizer though

[heady trout]

ye

[fading bone]

yeah you can easily run any gun for the entire game and not really have much trouble

[ocean ore]

that may be due to the fact that you get a huge amount of ammo too though

in Eternal you need to conserve way more

[fading bone]

well its also because its not the only part of your kit. the melee combos do an insane amount of damage, parrying does damage and then later even more with runes

and the guns themselves are all just super strong in combination with those two things

and yeah with how frequently you can melee for ammo it's not as much of a problem as eternal is if you're not paying close attention to your ammo

[twilit pumice]

Combat Shotgun with Blast and Flare-up is incredible.
Get fire explosion domino effect raining down armor from mob demons.
Not sure if that way of using the combat shotgun has been nerfed, though I wouldn't think so.

[rugged moon]

I'm able to play TDA at 60 fps on my rtx 3050 laptop

With ultra-performance dlss

I'm impressed with the optimization of this game
