the-dark-ages

[split gate]

An official randomiser campaign please id 😭

[twilit stone]

I doubt they'd do it, especially since the community's already doing it

[obsidian shard]

Console still exists

Hell NG+ could have a randomizer enemy thing for all we know

[twilit stone]

It's not that i wouldnt want them to, i just dont see why they'd go through the effort now, especially when they didnt do it for 2016 or Eternal either.

[obsidian shard]

Worse gore is not true

[dusty hinge]

Eternal was really in your face cartoon level gore levels

[obsidian shard]

The gore is much improved and theres more bone and entire limbs come off

[hearty edge]

so is it still bad or

jump and execute gg ez

[obsidian shard]

Yes Cartoon gore,

Different does not mean worse

It also doesn't mean better

Tis just different

[hearty edge]

and tearing a mancubus in half with the shield saw is way cooler than any glory kill in eternal IMO

[obsidian shard]

These are still I'm the game, Just less due to the amount of enemies on screen (doing GK every single time is a SLOG)

[fast depot]

Guys I got numskull soldier figure

[obsidian shard]

As said, Dark Ages changes and Makes things different

[obsidian shard]

Hell yeah

[dusty hinge]

Doom eternal gore was over-exaggerated and chaotic. Which I preferred therefore in my subjective opinion the gore felt like a downgrade from eternal

[dusty hinge]

Using meele feels clunky

[hearty edge]

waht

[obsidian shard]

Dark Ages has more "Realistic" gore

It's not worse, it's just preference, (like you said) Like the Music (it's peak)

[ancient atlas]

the gore is fine

[hearty edge]

whenever i go back to eternal i miss taking apart mancubi's arms so they just stand there

[obsidian shard]

So in turn a better statement to say is "I prefer the Gore in Eternal" instead of calling it worse

[ancient atlas]

it's different and in some ways more detailed

[obsidian shard]

Same with the music, combat, story or Exploration

[hearty edge]

i really like how not all of the demon's corpses are inmediately vaporized

[dusty hinge]

Did you guys notice a performance boost after they took off denuvo?

[obsidian shard]

Denuvo is still there I believe

[dusty hinge]

nope

[hearty edge]

idk but i did notice a significant performance boost outta nowhere randomly

[dusty hinge]

They removed denuvo

[ancient atlas]

in tda?

[obsidian shard]

When?

[dusty hinge]

like 1-3 days ago

[ancient atlas]

it's still there no?

[dusty hinge]

nope

Thats why I got it

[ancient atlas]

it was hacked but not removed

[dusty hinge]

because I aint got $100 to spend on no games 😭

Wait? They bypass denuvo?

[ancient atlas]

yep

without hypervisor

[obsidian shard]

Just checked, the game still has denovo

[dusty hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/rude-gif-2074021595659835685

[obsidian shard]

So you pirated the game?

[dusty hinge]

Thought denuvo was uncrackable

[ancient atlas]

it always was

just a matter of time

[dusty hinge]

damn

[dusty hinge]

why?

[ancient atlas]

if it's not hypervisor tho

[dusty hinge]

not hypervisor

[obsidian shard]

Im wondering, did you?

[dusty hinge]

nope

[ancient atlas]

but hypervisor overall is too risky to use

[dusty hinge]

hypervisor generates tokens

[obsidian shard]

You said you got no money to buy TDA bruh

[dusty hinge]

iirc

[obsidian shard]

Game pass then?

[dusty hinge]

why do you care?

Where I got the game from

[obsidian shard]

As I said I'm wondering, and I'm strongly on supporting the devs

So you did pirate it

[dusty hinge]

When did I say I pirated it?

[obsidian shard]

This and above

[ancient atlas]

idk but it requires turning off the secure boot

[dusty hinge]

Denuvo having shit performance?

Getting the game because they removed denuvo?

[obsidian shard]

"Denovo was cracked" "that's how I got it"
"I don't got money to spend on the game"

[obsidian shard]

It still has it (per the steam page)

[dusty hinge]

still not worth it

[obsidian shard]

What level you on so far?

[dusty hinge]

Sentinel Barracks

[obsidian shard]

Damn, barely in yet,
It gets big (also watch the cutscenes-adds hype and Aura)

[dusty hinge]

So many cut scenes lmao

[obsidian shard]

Only an hour lol, same amount as Eternal

[ancient atlas]

i'm completely fine with piracy stuff until the point it's safe for a user but i don't think the official doom discord server is a place to discuss it tho

[dusty hinge]

I feel like the story is lacking

a little bit

[dusty hinge]

I hate pirates

[obsidian shard]

You haven't even started it yet bruh 😭

[dusty hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-phillips-im-the-captain-now-look-at-me-pirate-gif-9267084

[ancient atlas]

i don't want ac4 black flag remake

[obsidian shard]

You are at:

-Slayer is under Maykr influence due to Tether

-Ahzrak is looking for the Heart of Argent

[ancient atlas]

ubisoft gonna fuck up the game totally with it's shitty rpg system

[dusty hinge]

I just want glory kills back man. The new stuff they added is cool and I really fw the setting

[obsidian shard]

If you jump before doing a GK you get a normal one

[dusty hinge]

I thought the game would run poorly on my system after looking at benchmarks but im averaging 70-80fps on ultra nightmare native 1440p

[ancient atlas]

i'm playing with frame gen

[obsidian shard]

Optimization is like id Software's specialty,
Hell I'd say it's the best running RT game currently

[dusty hinge]

are nvidia fanboys fearmongered us with forced rt lol

[hearty edge]

cuz it is

[obsidian shard]

I got the game running on a 2060 at a steady 50-60 frames (lowest settings) and a below spec CPU

[hearty edge]

like its actually wild to see how other games just tank when you turn on ray tracing but tda just runs like any other AAA game

i mean from this current era

[obsidian shard]

I mean with some command changes it can run on a 1650

[ancient atlas]

high framerate performance in doom games makes gaming experience so great

i can't look at 60 fps normal anymore

[obsidian shard]

🥀

[hearty edge]

i prefer lower latency

ma shield better parry when i right click

[fading bone]

jump and execute brother

[twilit stone]

Yrah for literally 1 glory kill every single time. They should've kept em for heavies but got rid of em for fodder. Thats my stance

[obsidian shard]

2 actually

[ancient atlas]

ngl it'd be cool if they made a glory kill system when you kill few stunned demons placed to each other in one animation

[obsidian shard]

I say removed for heavy/fodder and kept for super heavy

[ancient atlas]

but that'd be a hell to execute technically

[obsidian shard]

(also as said GKing constantly feels like fuckin shit)

Theirs too many enemies

[hearty edge]

i think they could've kept them for super heavies since they are already kinda meant to be fought one on one and wouldn't break the pacing as much

[twilit stone]

Not really

Like theres a lot of fodder but not that many heavies all things considered

[ancient atlas]

yeah in tda there's many enemies on arena and there's no animation speed up rune like in eternal

[obsidian shard]

Ye, and It's very bloody long to go from enemy to enemy just GK, The Devs have said this many times, and I've tried it a few, feels awful

It's slow as hell

(not animation talk- but from a gameplay stance)

[twilit stone]

I just feel like there's some untapped creativity here

[hearty edge]

the gauntlet is so funny like yea i just hit a cyberdemon 6 times in a row and killed him ight

[fading bone]

i agree it would be nice if they added a few more GK animations for each demon, but yeah doing them all the time is more annoying than anything.

[obsidian shard]

Dreadmace
Looks inside
Is a Club

What did they mean by this?

[ancient atlas]

in eternal you won't have the same feeling cause the rune speeding this up

but that's just different system

[hearty edge]

dreadmace sounds cooler than dreadclub

[fading bone]

that rune is kinda poopypoopoo tho compared to other options

[obsidian shard]

"In Eternal"

Dark Ages is not Eternal-the Combat isn't, The Exploration isn't, The Music isn't.

Completely different games.

Just because something works on Eternal doesn't mean it'll work in Dark Ages and Vice versa

This is not Reddit we do not need to continue an argument for 20 Minutes because "Eternal does this and Dark Ages doesn't"

[hearty edge]

imagine a shield that blocked all ur damage in eternal that'd be crazy broken rig- oh

[ancient atlas]

nah it's ok especially if you combine it with rune that speeds up your movement

[obsidian shard]

(same with 2016)

[fading bone]

yeah but realistically if youre playing well you shouldnt even be GKing that much to use it

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/master-chief-doomslayer-doomguy-doom-gif-14185222935177373386

[fading bone]

so its kind of a waste

That doesnr make it better lmao

[obsidian shard]

Think of Mancubus, then make him skinnier by like 75% and that's me

[solid nacelle]

As somebody that gets tired of seeing those animations after a while I think it makes the game feel better to play

[obsidian shard]

[merry sapphire]

any news about the dlc?

[random sand]

About when it releases or just general news about it

[obsidian shard]

Yea

Tons

[split gate]

Too much tbh

[green estuary]

if you turn on path tracing, also turn off variable rate shading, it fucks up the shadows

but beyond that it's also very resource intensive

[stone pasture]

Anything?

[fading bone]

i thought i was finally gonna have my deathless psuedo UN nightmare run and i threw at enhanced asscrack 3rd phase

[warm ibex]

dlc news day is thursday

you guys are too early, come back tomorrow night

[noble burrow]

[weak gust]

I know this is irrelevant, but I just had to see if someone else knew about this 😭 I told him to chill after he said some genuinely heinous stuff, and he responded with the most aggressive reply possible. Good way to make me unfollow a creator, yikes

[frail bloom]

Ye idk what happened

I haven't been in here much just have been playing lbp

[unkempt dragon]

There is definitely a toxic part of that community of higher level players

[frail bloom]

Ye it's dissapointing to see

[stuck basalt]

i just hit the jackpottt

[frail bloom]

Ye what

[weak gust]

I have had experiences with that through other games, but I guess it was just more shocking coming from a creator I liked watching

[unkempt dragon]

I get that. There are tons of players in the community who lead a good example. Sylar is a very good one to look up to.

[weak gust]

Yeah there’s some great voices in here

[unkempt dragon]

Just don't give the bad ones your views and give the good ones a platform and monetize their content instead:)

[weak gust]

Good idea

[frosty roost]

they a content creator?

[unkempt dragon]

Yes! Look him up on YouTube. He's an amazing Doom player, and a fantastic human as well.

Doom fans when they have to actually use weapons instead of swapping away immediately:

Never cook again

[green estuary]

Wait he plays other games than eternal?

[unkempt dragon]

yes!🙌

[solar spoke]

I've noticed I'm hit and miss with TDA ideas

also, are all streams gonna be at 10pm Dublin time from now on?

[ashen bobcat]

I still have my quick swapping muscle memory from eternal and i just keep swapping to weaker guns for no reason

[umbral flint]

is there any news about the dlc?

also does anyone know how much it will cost?

[last geyser]

The dlc will have demons in it

[umbral flint]

never seen that in another doom game i cant believe it

next thing your gonna tell me is its gonna have guns

[heady trout]

the betrayer will betray and Marok will be iconic

#screenshots message

[swift peak]

What are the chances that DOOM: TDA (And IdTech) adapts DLSS 5, and would that even stop us from playing the future games

[obsidian shard]

Hmmm, Personally I don't id will use DLSS 5, they have no reason too.

[green estuary]

well even if it did (though it likely won't), it's not going to be forced

just like we're not forced to use dlss frame gen even if we use dlss upscaling

it's just an extra feature

("feature" is used loosely here)

[obsidian shard]

Most of the Water Noises are in What Lies Below @frail bloom

alot more Present in the "Bass" Sections

[last geyser]

What lies below sounds like mortal kombat music

[obsidian shard]

Also most likely a Stream tomorrow, not 100% in the sand so "Stay Tuned"

[modest sail]

Is Finishing Move doing the music for the DLC as well?

[obsidian shard]

Not yet Confirmed but High Speculation they will be
(Along with a few subtle "teases")

the Folks at FM are really cool people, so wishing em the best either way

[modest sail]

I'm just as excited to hear the new songs as I am to play the new DLC, honestly.

[obsidian shard]

If its Andrew and David again, I would be Hyped, Loved their work on TAG!
Just hope the DLC music has the same style as what we have with the base game!

neither way, Just as Hyped as for the Music as I am for the game!

[modest sail]

Yes, exactly. I hope there's more to the cosmic realm. I love the ambience of Cosmic Sea and ||punching Cthulhu in|| with What Lies Below. 😭

[obsidian shard]

Well sounds like we'll be returning to the Cosmic Realm so you never know!

[stone idol]

ive never watched the gameplay cuz i didnt want to spoil myself but omg the ||dragon flying|| parts are so fricking cool

[warm ibex]

hoping they play eternal instead of TDA

since friday is the six year anniversary

[obsidian shard]

A Saleem map or a master level🤞

Or DOOM 64

(Would say 2016 but that's May)

[ancient atlas]

quick swapping is fun

it's just technically hard in eternal if you wanna use teches like to boost your shots per time with ballista and rocket launcher as example

or shooting sticky bombs faster

[fleet spruce]

thank god they ditched it going forward, it's cool but making every weapon viable on its own much like classic games feels better in practice

[ancient atlas]

yeah

i feel like pulverizer is weak a little

but every weapon is great

[fleet spruce]

I think it's ok , just runs out of ammo before you can really get crazy with it most of the time

[random sand]

That one mostly is just good for clearing out alot of enemies at once. It's just a shame that the shield saw already does this making this one even more useless

[ancient atlas]

yeah

shield saw also takes a buff from multi kill for next shield charge which is very usable for big enemies and quick swap start

[random sand]

True

[heady trout]

agreed

while i prefer Eternal over TDA and do nothing but quickswap between 4 weapons in that game I don't mind the lack of it in TDA at all

feels nice to have each weapon be usable on its own y'know

in Eternal that was only really the case for turret, micro missles and lob, the former two only being viable to use in alone at max upgrade level

[swift peak]

It’s not really

[heady trout]

it can be

it wasn't necessary but it's fun once you get the hang of it

[wide siren]

it is

[swift peak]

It definitely produces dopamine I’ll say that

[slender night]

Subjective I'd say

I like it personally

[heady trout]

i suppose internet language has the unspoken "its subjective" in each opinion

bc people say shit that at face reading value is literally fact stating but they don't actually mean to state facts, they just state opinions

if people always used "imo" maybe it would be easier to understand but that's too difficult 🥀

[potent parcel]

yeah except some people don't actually mean it, and they'll get mad if you don't treat their opinion as an immutable law of physics
but I guess they would probably have got mad anyway 😄

still, assuming all people are reasonable, on the internet, is a... precarious situation sometimes

[humble furnace]

https://youtu.be/MIeRN3uZXs0
If I hear a new rendition of this track at some point in the future when the Night Sentinels get betrayed it will officially be one of my favorite moments in DOOM history. This track is so unnecessarily solemn for Classic DOOM and I need it to be renditioned for a scene like that.

Plus the title Legion of the Lost is really fitting for the scenario.

Not really, story of the DLC will be a big focus too

doom tda is the first doom game without the uac

Do earth humans already exist in the dark ages

[heady trout]

nope

tldr it's established that earth humans are descendants of Sentinels that moved to Earth at one point

none of that evolution shite in this earth

[random sand]

gonna need a source for that one because what 😭

[heady trout]

uhhh

[heady trout]

@young schooner help

[random sand]

from what i gathered, doom tda just takes place in another dimension with argent d'nur as the main focus. that being another planet far away. would also explain how this mars is different from the one in eternal. although age could also explain that. doom slayer has been alive for a while

[warm ibex]

The Mars in TDA and the Mars in Eternal are the same

[young schooner]

If you look in the ruined church in the Hell on Earth level of TDA you can see Sentinel scripture on the huge bell.

Eternal also says the Sentinels made a colony on Earth that would later be Doom Hunter Base.

[young schooner]

Also yeah what Horde says. TDA is in the same Earthly Realm as 2016-Eternal.

[random sand]

yeah i got that

[random sand]

sounds about right. how do we know that whole colony turned out to be all of humanity tho? didn't quite understand the first thing you said. wdym by "Hell on Earth level of TDA"?

village of khalim? that took place on argent d'nur, did it not?

[warm ibex]

he meant Eternal

the church bell you approach after acquiring the heavy cannon has sentinel text written on it

[random sand]

got a pic of it? not that i don't believe you, just wanna see rq

[warm ibex]

I don't have a picture on hand lol

also might be best to move this into #the-codex

[solar spoke]

damn, ripped my torium with this news

[warm ibex]

not everyone here obsesses over stream news, it's important to clarify. As a news account yourself, you should know that by now 👀

[frosty roost]

[harsh egret]

[frosty roost]

heya horde!!

[warm ibex]

hey marshal!

[harsh egret]

totally didnt know this by ways which allow me to know this information unallowed by id software

[solar spoke]

nice, more skins. Maybe we'll get that chainshot boxing glove someday

[harsh egret]

good to have confirmation

[warm ibex]

this is completely new and never before seen information

[frosty roost]

wait so we're getting more skins?

[warm ibex]

yea

[harsh egret]

[frosty roost]

[warm ibex]

[frosty roost]

gotcha!

[idle swallow]

[harsh egret]

dlc news this week: "its different"

[frosty roost]

different??? hmmmmm

[harsh egret]

HOLLYYYYYYY

[idle swallow]

very excited for the TDA DLC

[frosty roost]

very excited!!

[idle swallow]

I heard that it has the length of a full-sized game

[solar spoke]

I thought he was about to troll us by saying "it doesn't exist" lol

[frosty roost]

I thought he'd say "interesting"

[idle swallow]

I asked this already, but since I bought the premium edition, will I get the campaign dlc for free when it releases?

[green estuary]

yep

[frosty roost]

yes

[solar spoke]

Bigger than Skyrim

[idle swallow]

that's nice

[warm ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-flabbergasted-shocked-wink-reaction-gif-25698054

[harsh egret]

i wouldnt even be surprised if someone makes a clip of that and takes it out of context and its just him saying the dlc is bigger than the sequel to skyrim

[solar spoke]

Next IGN article confirmed

[frosty roost]

NEXT WEEK???

[stark bough]

Trailer?

[green estuary]

[frosty roost]

bro now he's just saying shit

[solar spoke]

he trying to confound us

[green estuary]

lil misdirection from hugo

[uneven dragon]

wait whats happening

[green estuary]

no idea
he just started to say "next week..." and cut himself off lol

[frosty roost]

hugo said something about "next week" and he said "ahhh nevermind"

[green estuary]

could be just a mis-speak, could be a freudian slip, who knows

[solar spoke]

I can't even tell when he is being serious or not anymore

[swift peak]

YES

[frosty roost]

hmmmm

[swift peak]

WHAT MAPS ARE WE GET- FUCK OFF VEGA

[uneven dragon]

lmao

[obsidian shard]

The DLC "Got da Sauceee"

[swift peak]

WHAT MAPS ARE WE GETTING? ARE WE GETTING A TIGHT-CORRIDOR HEBETH MAP?

[green estuary]

dunno yet

[swift peak]

i hope we get more tight doom-like corridors, open fields can only be so much fun

[green estuary]

I'd guess a hell-themed map a la forsaken plains and also maybe 2 dlc maps

but that's just speculation on my end

[solar spoke]

Next week: It's got all the toppings

[harsh egret]

i feel attacked

[warm ibex]

It is nice that Josh clarified that the whole team isn't working until the asscrack of dawn

just Hugo lol

[green estuary]

new midnight video title
INSANE New DOOM: The Dark Ages DLC News

and the video thumbnail has some text that says "NEXT WEEK"

[warm ibex]

"DISTURBING"

[solar spoke]

Hugo doesn't crunch, he crunches crunch

[green estuary]

"HORRIFYING", even

[obsidian shard]

[solar spoke]

DLC that will tickle some taste buds

[green estuary]

wild

[warm ibex]

you can really tell hugo has been grinding the dlc lol

[harsh egret]

he was locked in

[solar spoke]

He's locked in harder than usual

[harsh egret]

OH NO LOL

here we go lmao

[frosty roost]

LOL

predicting he's gonna get mad about the railing again

[harsh egret]

time to place bets on whether or not he makes it past the first arena

[green estuary]

doomy turnal

hugo ready to get absolutely cooked by unreclaimed earth lol

[harsh egret]

dlc getting delayed cuz he isnt playtesting it enough

and playing unreclaimed earth until he beats it instead

24hr stream

[solar spoke]

He's gonna have a go at rails again, watch

[swift peak]

Does anyone know how to get rid of these performance metrics? I must've turned them on with the console or something and they won't go away

https://imgur.com/a/0Kx4pGX

[green estuary]

yeah, go to display settings in-game

[frosty roost]

^^^

[swift peak]

No not that

Its at 0, shouldn't show it.

Plus from what I can tell the metrics I have up aren't even obtainable using the settings

[green estuary]

try rsx_showperformance 0

sorry, rsx_showPerformance 0

one of those two

[swift peak]

both are unknown commands

[harsh egret]

oh man

poor Hugo

[green estuary]

idk
try pressing the up arrow in the console to get back to the previous command you used

[swift peak]

i've had it for awhile, just now asking

[harsh egret]

[solar spoke]

Hugo geting jumped, poor guy

[green estuary]

Thanks!

[frail bloom]

So uh what did he say

[obsidian shard]

lots of words

[warm ibex]

Hugo Stream Chapter 24 Notes:

New Ripatorium maps are coming out with the DLC.

There will be more cosmetics in the future!

They’re in the tuning and polishing stage of DLC development, so nearing the end for sure.

The DLC still sticks to the impactful monster truck gameplay despite featuring an elevated combat loop.

[frail bloom]

Huh ok so mostly reassurances, which is nice actually

Those last two were generous of them to add in

[harsh egret]

hugo playing ultrakill next week

[frail bloom]

Alr bud

[harsh egret]

fk man i still havent gone around to playing it

[harsh egret]

im not joking lol

[green estuary]

[hard thistle]

Ready to make some ruckus in this DLC!

[heady trout]

Okay so gameplay question

actually no nvm

[vapid lodge]

I missed the stream

Did Hugo say anything about the DLC?

[warm ibex]

@vapid lodge

[vapid lodge]

Thank you

[tribal hamlet]

he accidentaly said next week when talking about the dlc. could be the trailer

[vapid lodge]

ok sounds amazing

[twilit stone]

bout time

[warm ibex]

that was a joke, and has been said every week for the past month or so lol

[vapid lodge]

Knowing Hugo, he would say everything if left unchecked

[tribal hamlet]

oh ok

dangit

[snow sigil]

my man HORDE doing the Lord's work 24h/7. 🤘

[warm ibex]

I try my best lol

[heady trout]

ima download a mod that skips the atlan segment in final battle bc its lowk just boring now

i just want to fight enhanced azhrak

[warm ibex]

you should download a mod that skips the campaign and heads straight into the dlc 🤔

[heady trout]

yesss

actually all im going to do is use dev checkpoints, increase the damage done to demons to kill the old one quick and then set everything back to normal once its dead

[obsidian shard]

Doc updated

Time to go to facebook and post it

(they are going to tear me to pieces)

[snow sigil]

facebook needs to die already, jesus that platform has aged.

[solar spoke]

I used to be on Facebook, not for me tbh

Reddit is pretty good for getting TDA updates though

[snow sigil]

Horde is my Doom Newscaster now. Thanks YouTube algorithm!

[harsh egret]

facebook is smth special for sure

[frosty roost]

@obsidian shard do you want me to post the stuff on reddit too or are you cool doing that?

[warm ibex]

reddit will eat him alive (as usual)

[solar spoke]

most social sites are toxic tbh, I can only imagine what twitter's like (not on it)

[stone pasture]

What did we get for news, anything else besides ripatorium

[warm ibex]

@stone pasture

[twilit stone]

A cesspool. Only good thing about are the cool artists

[thin hound]

There are three types of Twitter users, those who left the platform to join Bluesky, those who invested too much into their account to delete it so they’re just hoping it will one day return to normal, and the scumbags.

[frosty roost]

the other type is why are you posting this in this channel instead of #general ?

[obsidian shard]

Already did

[solar spoke]

aw damn, I can't bring myself into it even for the cool artists

[twilit stone]

Dont.

[solar spoke]

what you all hoping for for the new ripatorium maps? Base game or do we think they'll be DLC based?

[warm ibex]

From Beyond, Temple of Lomarith and Forsaken Plains are my three non-dlc map choices

[twilit stone]

Id very much like one for either Spire or Reckoning

[warm ibex]

spire would be a great choice too

especially with that circular outer waterfall

[harsh egret]

2 new maps would be nice at least, im hoping for a classic lasagna hell level and an indoor sentinel command station map would be sick as hell ngl

[solar spoke]

spires starting area would actually work really well with some modifications tbh

[harsh egret]

well they specificed "maps" so it will be 2 at least

[green estuary]

forsaken plains and resurrection would be sick

[twilit stone]

You could even have Cthlulu peering in on the area like the Penance arena in Eternal

[warm ibex]

that would be goated

[sleek topaz]

Hopefully cosmetics that are NOT merely reskins of Doomguy's default outfit. I also want skins without that furry cape.

[solar spoke]

fires lasers at you like Mysterio combat challenges in SM2

[harsh egret]

its most likely gonna be reskins

[warm ibex]

I think the final Holy City arena is already a perfect Ripatorium arena, I wouldn't mind if they just reused that and added a few more line of sight blockers

[twilit stone]

I mean didnt they say it'd be too complicated to do different suits and stuff, cuz of the nature of the cutscenes

[frosty roost]

oh

[harsh egret]

yh

[frosty roost]

I mean if it's reskins, I'll be happy with it to be fair

[harsh egret]

true

[twilit stone]

Fine by me, and if they wont, modders will do it at some point probably

[warm ibex]

true, I'd imagine tda mod support will come much sooner than eternal's

[harsh egret]

maybe by quakecon 2027 at the latest

[stone pasture]

Sorry

[warm ibex]

that's okay man, just scroll up a bit every once in a while 😅

[green estuary]

TDA mod support is gonna be so peak
from messing around in idstudio I realize why there's so much less modding effort in TDA compared to eternal right now--it's just so much easier to make cool stuff when you've got a dedicated tool for it

and it's hard to go back to manual decl modding once you've dabbled in idstudio

[twilit stone]

Eternal just seems easier to mod, like even compared to 2016 there's like over 1000 for Eternal on Nexus alone

And that was before the official mod tools were released

[green estuary]

eternal had more players on launch, so there was more of a modding effort back then as well
plus now the official release of idstudio is cannibalizing a lot of the modders from tda

and to boot, the texture converter for TDA hasn't been finished yet, so no cosmetic mods that aren't just swaps

[last geyser]

Since theres a frozen hell location in the dlc i hope theres new enemies with ice based attacks

[heady trout]

actually im going to have to disagree, please none of that "stun" or "movement decrease" attacks from being "sort of frozen"

[solar spoke]

Ice Komodo that locks you in place

[green estuary]

you and your komodo ideas

[solar spoke]

Purple goo Komodo

I hope someone at Id is taking notes

[dark thunder]

how are they finishing the dlc so quickly

unless they've been working on it a few months before the game released? Since it usually takes a year to make a boss fight

btw ahzrak bossfight was peak and the best boss in the series

[solar spoke]

probably using Ray tracing as a foundation of global lighting which accelerates construction of environments. That and they're not working through a pandemic this time

[dark thunder]

I NEED IT

[crude sparrow]

any news about the dlc? I missed the stream

or like, any news regarding doom

[green estuary]

well, new ripatorium maps are coming

also apparently skins as well

[crude sparrow]

was there a "word of the day"?

[green estuary]

nah
hugo just said the dlc has got the sauce lmao

[twilit stone]

this game's combat fuckin slaps holy shit

[obsidian shard]

More maps to the Ripatorium
More skins
"New" combat loop in the DLC but still a Monster Truck like in the base game

[split gate]

https://tenor.com/view/sticker-yung-joc-crying-meme-man-crying-meme-thebeyonderrrr-gif-828328460466032722

hugo PLEASE i GENUINELY BEG YOU ADD IN CORRIDOR ENVIRONMENTS LIKE HEBETH

or a siege-based map that'd be cool

[frail bloom]

Does it still slap

[twilit stone]

Yes. Honestly I've come around to TDA again

[obsidian shard]

Thats what I Love about all 3 Modern DOOM Games! They are all distinct!

[twilit stone]

It was actually playing RE9 that gave me a bigger appreciation from TDA funnily enough

[frail bloom]

That's interesting

What abt RE9

[twilit stone]

Most of that game was just nostalgia-bait key-jangling. "Remember Raccoon City?? Remember the RPD? Remember the dogs?? Remember Mr. X?? Remember the big plants?? Remember Lickers??" Along with all the retcons that basically kills off like half of the RE lore. The first hour was great, it looked pretty, and I liked the new protagonist, but all of that was bogged down by everything I just listed

I respect TDA for not indulging in that and establishing its own identity instead of banking off the old things

and the biggest sin TDA's story commits is that it's just kinda underwhelming, it doesn't destroy half of the lore like RE9

[obsidian shard]

Agreed, But its cool asf and a RAD Action movie imo

[twilit stone]

fair, just want a little more spice in the dialogue and characters next time, all I'm asking for storywise really

[fleet spruce]

crazy, i haven't touched RE since Revelations games

[stuck basalt]

damn theyre polishing already? we might be close gng

also @obsidian shard wtf is the SAUCE

[obsidian shard]

DLC has it

Its like Slang for saying its good

Hugo said it has SAUCE

[stuck basalt]

oh 💀

yeah they're polishing it must be close but yeah its gonna be sooooo good~

[obsidian shard]

Plus its funny seeing reactions like yours

[obsidian shard]

yes

[fleet spruce]

I'm so ready to indulge in DLC at work

[obsidian shard]

Polishing does take a few months so its either Close orrr Clooooooose

[stuck basalt]

or cl0se

idk guys it might be close..

[ebon lynx]

I'm hopeful for at least May

[obsidian shard]

What if its Clothes

[stuck basalt]

yeah yeah true true

[stuck basalt]

yknow what thats pretty much my free month so im actually hoping it does

[split gate]

DLC is polishing? Tomorrow for shaw

[obsidian shard]

Could be but also June July-ish makes sense too....OR August

[stuck basalt]

ORRRR next year

or the year after

[obsidian shard]

Its confirmed for 2016

[stuck basalt]

🤷

myf gng

[fleet spruce]

Dang i thought it was scheduled for 2011

[split gate]

We’re going back in time with this one

We really are time travelling for the DLC

[obsidian shard]

I meant 2026

Brain is in its DOOM (2016) mindset

[split gate]

Understandable, peak doesn’t leave the brain

[obsidian shard]

my bad gang, i will do better next time

[fleet spruce]

will be really funny if there's gonna be a Hell on Earth flashback in the DLC, betting a half eaten cheeseburger on it

[split gate]

Daisy flashback 🙏

[unique yoke]

did someone say flashbang

[obsidian shard]

DOOM3 Cheeseburger

[twilit stone]

keep it that way, save ur money

[split gate]

https://tenor.com/view/think-fast-job-application-scout-tf2-flashbang-get-a-job-gif-3906892580612447190

[warm ibex]

don't keep it that way, the franchise has improved majorly since the revelations era

[unique yoke]

https://klipy.com/gifs/flashbang-11

[stuck basalt]

hugo for the dlc should shave his face

[split gate]

Where the Hugo Martin skin at btw

[stuck basalt]

fr

like tf?

[warm ibex]

Do you remember when Hugo first mentioned that they were polishing? I think it was february when talking about the new puzzles and how they feel good but need to be polished

[obsidian shard]

It was around then ya

[warm ibex]

interesting

[stuck basalt]

holy horde mode yeah he did say that

[warm ibex]

if they've been polishing since at least feb and are now seemingly in the full polish/tuning stage, then I do think May is still in the cards

June wouldn't be too surprising either

[fleet spruce]

we're definitely close

[warm ibex]

just how "close" is now the question

im not gonna make any major solid predictions tho, I dunno how much of a dlc dev cycle is dedicated to polish and final tweaks

[twilit stone]

i mean it

's definitely this year right?

[warm ibex]

yeah for sure

[stuck basalt]

i guess the trailer will say 🤷

[warm ibex]

and I would guesstimate before fall

[warm ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/true-morgan-freeman-dogger-kramer-that's-true-cosmo-kramer-gif-13025828050697363822

[obsidian shard]

Nah its gotta be November 19th

[dark thunder]

NEED IT

im so tempted to get teh game on sale but i wanna be cheap and i can only run it on very low dlss performance

[fleet spruce]

it's ok, I'm playing this game on a handheld PC of all things

[twilit stone]

handheld PC?

[stuck basalt]

its 66.6% off

but steam rounds stuff so its uh 67%

oh my gawd 67!!!!

[fleet spruce]

yup, ASUS ROG Ally X

[twilit stone]

this is the first time im ever hearing about smth like this lol

[fleet spruce]

lemme fetch a recent photo lmao

[obsidian shard]

Coolio dawg

[twilit stone]

nah i looked it up

so it's like a PC but in nintendo switch form? how do u even fit all that in that tiny thing

[fleet spruce]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/717363111308427309/1452189822553821268/rn_image_picker_lib_temp_a518c25f-8319-43b5-99db-35eea79d5544.jpg?ex=69bd956a&is=69bc43ea&hm=d33417c1044ea14f9890dcf7b2a40c22a88a6461a926c43b4e606bac50ce2db9&

[twilit stone]

damn that looks so fun actualy

[fleet spruce]

it's much larger than switch and packs a punch

biggest advantage is battery capacity though

[twilit stone]

i need to invest in one of these some day, i miss the feeling of playing games on a tablet late at night

[fleet spruce]

that being said , Dark Ages with handheld preset on it hits 60 fps at 720p even when not using the full power

[clever linden]

bro tda is so peak 😭 🙏

[dark thunder]

Ong when ppl say it was disappointing it’s cause it’s not eternal

[obsidian shard]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1182151938314358856/1399628765826519092/Untitled_video_-_Made_with_Clipchamp.gif

[hearty edge]

ight gang

more splash damage or empowered projectile

[fleet spruce]

it's especially hilarious considering that even before release it was explicitly said that game isn't going to be Eternal 2

[dark thunder]

mayo's video explains it perfectly

[fleet spruce]

I don't watch mayo

anyway, guess I'm back to playing the Unholy Realms wad

[twilit stone]

like i said, gotta respect DOOM for not just doing the same thing but slightly different every entry

[rugged gull]

I finally beat ultra nightmare on The Dark Ages🥹

[fading bone]

i love the cooked rockets it feels so good to melt leaders with it

[ebon lynx]

cooked rockets goes hard asf

[random sand]

Good job

[split gate]

“This sign can’t stop me because I can’t read!” ahh haters

[twilit stone]

TDA "not being like Eternal" is like the least of its problems lol, dead argument

[split gate]

Yep, there’s genuine critiques for it but during it’s release period, there was a lot of that.

[twilit stone]

Usually when people critique they just default to "its not like the other thing" but i think that's quite a silly way of looking at it. You should judge a piece of art based on if it delivers on making you feel what it wants you to feel; on its own vision and how well it accomplishes that

And thats not to say you cant make comparisons, but when comparisons are the only basis for your argument, it rings hollow

[random sand]

You can critique TDA all ya want. But just don't use the "the music sucks because it's not my lord and savior Mick Gordon" or "it's not eternal therefore"

Ykw. TDA is the modern pokemon of the doom franchise. You can critique it all ya want, but the moment you mention "mah graphix" idc anymore

[split gate]

Never said that, idk what you’re on about.

[split gate]

Yep, people need to see the game for what it is

[random sand]

I never said you did. I was agreeing with you. I meant "you" as in those who hate on it

[fleet spruce]

So called Doom fans when there are no glory kills , no Mick Gordon and they don't have to press billion buttons per second while actively staying in the air to avoid most of the damage

[random sand]

They ain't doom fans. They are doom eternal fans. I've noticed that there is a difference

[fleet spruce]

there's certainly a divide , some people are in camps

like 2016 camp (they actually miss doom 3) and eternal camp

[random sand]

Sounds about right

[twilit stone]

tbf i actually skipped 3 initially when I first got into the series

[fleet spruce]

I first played Doom 3 on an incredibly outdated laptop from 2012 back in 2017 , back then i was playing the id software library and man was i amazed

[twilit stone]

I wish I had gotten to chance to play DOOM 3 specifically as a kid, that game is weirdly cozy to me, despite having no nostalgic connection to it

[random sand]

I haven't played it yet. Was going to once but it asked for some number i had no idea what was and just quit😭

[twilit stone]

probably the CD key

[random sand]

Think so yeah

[fleet spruce]

you gotta open the game, close it and then open Resurrection of Evil and close it as well, afterwards it won't ask for key anymore until next fresh install

tested myself several times

[random sand]

Noted. Might try it again sometime. Doubt i'll love it since it doesn't look very much like my cup of tea but i'm willing to be convinced

[fleet spruce]

If you enjoyed original Doom then this game should be right up your alley

[random sand]

i thought the originals were alright. like B tier. nothing mindblowing but it was aight. doom 2 was a little mindnumbing but doom 1 was solid

especially with the steam ports that has the remade music for 'em

[wide siren]

im late to the party (stream) but new ripatorium maps confirmation is 🔥🔥🔥

[fallen hill]

Is doom the dark ages worth buying like it's at 67 percent off will it go more cheap and should I buy deluxe edition as it gives dlc free but when is dlc coming or like can I buy later at discounted price

[fading bone]

hard to predict how the sales will go but 67% is an incredible deal

ofc its worth it

if you expect to enjoy it and want to play the DLC then yeah getting the premium is also worth it

we dont have a date for when it comes out yet but its rumored to be a huge DLC and have tons of new interesting additions

[harsh egret]

next time it will go on sale is prob for the steam summer sale i'd say

and dlc is rumored to come out before that, but u never know

[green estuary]

I don’t see it going lower than this for quite a while

[fallen hill]

Yea that's what I want like if I buy and it goes more lower in next or next to next sale it feels bad

Like it should hold 70 percent discount till this year then maybe 80 next I'm fine

[green estuary]

It’s not going to

[fading bone]

i mean the difference between this sale or something else will be like a $5-$10 difference at absolute most its not like youre gonna save a ton of money

[green estuary]

Maybe more than a year from now or something but within the next 12 months an 80% sale is not happening

[fallen hill]

Like I never played doom game is it like good enough content after game wnds

[fallen hill]

Yea that's what I want

People here saying dlc is coming so like paying 5$ extra for deluxe edition will it be good

[harsh egret]

eternal went on sale for 75% off during summer sale a year after it came out, and then it kept going on sale for 75% for a good while after that

[fading bone]

it absolutely will be worth $5 extra lol

[harsh egret]

and tda is following a similar trend

[fading bone]

its gonna be like a whole new game

[fallen hill]

Really?

[harsh egret]

the dlc is an absolute steal rn yes

[fallen hill]

Ok thnx

[split gate]

Since its TDA, there isn’t much to do except for Ripatorium. DLC will be more content but the fun of the game comes through repeated playthroughs and playing higher difficulties. But it isn’t much

[harsh egret]

well not quite lol but it will be different and bigger than TAG for sure

[fallen hill]

Game fun?
That's all we care

[split gate]

Ayy noice

[fallen hill]

Like I was thinking to get between this and shadows I know both are completely different but both are a year old

[split gate]

AC Shadows?

[fallen hill]

Yep

[harsh egret]

if u come here asking about this, im sure most ppl will recommend tda over shadows, and if u go on the ac discord im sure they will recommend shadows over tda lol

[fallen hill]

Yes you might be true lol

[split gate]

I haven’t played Shadows so I can’t speak for it but it’s an AC so expect usual AC stuff. TDA is different from its predecessors, and the fun comes from mastering the combat

[fallen hill]

Yes that's why I'm thinking to try something different as I never played these types of games

[fading bone]

if you embrace what the game is youll enjoy it no matter what

these games are absolutely incredible and unique

they give you such a satisfying feeling like no other

[split gate]

I think you’re in the best position tbh. Doom games for me made learning the combat really satisfying

[fallen hill]

Yea I will get deluxe edition on playstation Store

[random sand]

as someone who has played it. yeah it's an AC game alright. it's pretty fun tho for what it is (just don't get its dlc if you plan to play it)

[fallen hill]

Any other complete different game you guys could suggest of same price range at discounted price like I'm taking two games what about kcd 2
But like I hate that old settings

[harsh egret]

i loved kcd2 personally

[fallen hill]

I saw gameplay like i didn't understand what is it

[harsh egret]

i put 220 hrs in it, just one playthrough lol

[random sand]

jesus christ

[split gate]

Idk if you’re into turn-based combat but I finished Expedition 33 recently and it’s definitely worth playing

[fallen hill]

Completed it

[random sand]

as someone who isn't even into turn-based combat. solid game. haven't finished it yet but so far, solid

[split gate]

It gets more peak

[random sand]

does seem that way yeah

[fallen hill]

Yea even I was like confused about turn based but it's good
But the only bad thing i defeated final boss 1 hit i did all the side quests and became so strong

[split gate]

I think we may have to continue this convo in general bros

[harsh egret]

ye lol

[random sand]

if you're into fast paced first person games then i'd definitely recommend checking out Ghostrunner if you haven't. very fun game

[random sand]

true

[fallen hill]

I played it

Both parts

[spiral crow]

Guys go check out my new "Daisy's Revenge" on the ripatorium posts and make sure to provide feedback if there's needed changes

[warm ibex]

will check it out when I have the time!

[solar spoke]

New idea: Komodo that's just chill, does a 9/5 and does taxes for you. His name is Joemodo

[spiral crow]

Thanks man, hope you enjoy it, and if needed, i'll change a few things if it's too hard

[swift peak]

No I hate him

[potent parcel]

staring cold-bloodedly at his screen all day...
a real monitor lizard

[warm ibex]

gonna hit hard as fuck when they post an archvile version of this

last night I thought of something

one day soon the TDA accolades trailer that plays in front of the Hugo streams will be replaced with a DLC trailer

[heady trout]

you know as much as I love the Aggadon hunter I'm starting to realize it's because of my love for the marauder lol

interesting thing about TDA is that outside of Vagaries, fighting two of super heavies is usually an unbalanced fight

their that powerful

in Eternal that only happens with the Marauder and even then you can just run away

[hearty edge]

hell na if i need to fight 2 archviles at once you betcha i'mma be bfging those mfs

also i have played against 3 cyberdemons at once so it's not impossivle

but yea put me against 2 barons and i die

[heady trout]

it's not that 3 cyberdemons are impossible

it's just very dependant on their position in the arena

if their close together good luck

[spiral crow]

what about 3

[hearty edge]

bfg

even harder

[heady trout]

i fought 4 possesed archvilles without bfg it was fun 👍

[fleet spruce]

Jesus Christ

[hearty edge]

nah i'd bfg

[heady trout]

ofc you would I want to challenge myself

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[solar spoke]

I bet £20 that's how they reveal it

[golden quarry]

I added Doom The Dark Ages PREMIUM EDITION to

Steam

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-the-dark-ages-shield-buzzsaw-saw-gif-9442590416015906813

[golden quarry]

How did you get ur avatar decoration the doom how!-

[slender night]

Limited-time Discord quest in 2025. Unavailable now

[spiral crow]

Okay a doom game but instead of being a tank, you're a helicopter

[swift peak]

IM SO UNIRONICALLY PISSED CUZ I NEVER GOT IT

[slender night]

I got it but never use it cuz it doesn't go well with my pfp

[fleet spruce]

that's basically Eternal, you're an assault aircraft

[river moon]

Still waiting for the DLC and other contents in doom the dark ages. I still want the arcade mode where you can play the giant mech and the cyber dragon

[spiral crow]

Damn, uhhhh okay, you're a submarine!

Next doom game, we fight underwater

[fleet spruce]

that could be an aspect of gameplay that's yet to be explored

[spiral crow]

Honestly i would be down for underwater fighting

But again i hate the ocean so like i would not want to XD

Because the cosmic realm's underwater sections gave me trauma due to the fear depths of the ocean

I had to remind myself "bro you're the doom slayer, this ain't subnautica"

[fleet spruce]

woe eldritch abominations upon ye

[solar spoke]

The shield saw? It was a limited time reward when TDA released

[golden quarry]

Oh.

[solar spoke]

I know, it should not have been time limited

[golden quarry]

WHIHC month was tda release?

[frosty roost]

march iirc

[solar spoke]

May last year

[frosty roost]

oh may? oops

[noble coral]

where is the gold in chapter 14 man aaa

[obsidian shard]

https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Spire_of_Nerathul/Walkthrough

[stuck basalt]

i forgot and i just played the level

[fringe comet]

was there any reveals in the latest stream

[solar spoke]

DLC gonna have the "sauce"

[fringe comet]

[chilly needle]

Thats the truth

[potent parcel]

hot sauce I hope
garlic pepper maybe?

although I guess a DLC with ranch wouldn't be the end of the world...

[solar spoke]

we got the whole burger with the DLC, as indicated by Hugo and Josh's burger talk

[potent parcel]

hopefully a chiliburger

[warm ibex]

@fringe comet last night's stream info

[fringe comet]

thank you very much

btw what does "The DLC still sticks to the impactful monster truck gameplay despite featuring an elevated combat loop. " refer tp

to*

[potent parcel]

truck? naw, TDA Slayer is more like a wolverine

that fights off an entire pack of wolves by itself

[fringe comet]

isnt that more eternal

[potent parcel]

I think you fight more like a leopard in eternal
leaner, athletic, attacking from any and every possible angle

[warm ibex]

Hugo often compares each game's combat loop to some form of vehicle. TDA is a monster truck, heavy and more destructive. The DLC will stick to that heavy and destructive combat loop even with the addition of more mobility and an expanded moveset

[potent parcel]

yeah but what does a monster truck really fight and wouldn't the fur cape just get caught in its wheels?

[fringe comet]

;-;

[potent parcel]

I think I may be taking the metaphor more literally than Hugo intended 😛

[fringe comet]

maybe

[potent parcel]

maybe the next game we'll be more like a front end loader
or a construction crane

or a Bobcat. which could be animal or vehicle!

Slayer the Snowplow

just sorta, pushing the demons into peoples' back driveways

[solar spoke]

the next game will be the vancubus

[stuck basalt]

there will be dlc hugo was lying its all made up

[spiral crow]

The dlc is 47 hours long trust

[green estuary]

well rest assured I’ll be getting more than 47 hours playtime out of the dlc lol

I’ve already got 175 in the base game alone without even playing the ripatorium much

[manic meteor]

jesus

also why hasn't civvie been added as a special guest or creator lol

[swift peak]

Civvie is more general

Not specifically a doom content creator

[manic meteor]

oh ok

[green estuary]

probably because he never asked ig
I’m sure if he wanted to, id would have no problem giving him a creator role here

[solar spoke]

47 hours? 47... Agent 47? Agent 47 in DLC confirmed

https://tenor.com/view/lex-luthor-dc-studios-nicholas-hoult-superhero-supervillian-gif-12117044324916121542

[spiral crow]

Exactly

[spiral crow]

If i was to have a role here it would be "The Daisy Glazer" because while doom is in it's dark ages, Daisy is Eternal

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-team-hahaha-gif-18072160

[spiral crow]

The Daisy, you know i'm playing as Daisy in the dlc?

[warm ibex]

truer words have never been spoken

[hearty edge]

at least 2 playtroughs, all collectibles, exploration, maybe attempting pandemonium
yea 47 hours seems plausible to do in like two weeks or so

[spiral crow]

Streets are saying daisy is a playable character in the dlc

[hearty edge]

it's still wild to me how i've played ts game 4 times already and it doesn't feel boring

to be fair i'm always experimenting something new to improve my gameplay

[twilit stone]

i think TDA's campaign is the most easily replayable tbh

[spiral crow]

Same here honestly, i always try something new, like back when TDA was out, i used the gauntlets more than both the flail and the dreadmace with the shield rune i always used was the daggers, now i'm always trying out a new combinations and builds

[green estuary]

tbh I think a lot of it comes down to a bunch of TDA's weapons being similarly viable

[hearty edge]

on my first and second i mostly used the dreadmace and holy swarm
the 2nd playtrough was different tho since i cranked the difficulty to nightmare and i had to use the impaler more since ssg nerf

[green estuary]

like with eternal, you've essentially got a set of weapon mods you need to select at least for the first section of the game, or else you're just making the game 10x harder for yourself

[hearty edge]

now i'm using ground fissure and the gauntlets more

[spiral crow]

I think what's making me replay it is not just the gameplay but also the exploration aspect, that was the highlight for me on my first playthrough

[hearty edge]

and no melee slow mo which speeds up things a lot

[twilit stone]

this is also sorta the case in 2016 too but to a lesser extent

[twilit stone]

yeah just being able to walk around levels again at my own pace instead of being on a strictly linear path all the time was just really nice to have again

[hearty edge]

nah in 2016 all of the weapon mods are good imo but there's just some that stand out as being broken (looking at you siege and stun bomb)

[spiral crow]

That's why when i heard the whole metrovania style level design, back tracking, a bit of puzzles here and there, i got really excited because i enjoyed the base game's exploration

[hearty edge]

siege 1 is still one of my favorite levels because of that

[spiral crow]

Low key, never used the stun bomb

[hearty edge]

it's broken asf

[twilit stone]

https://tenor.com/view/ineedit-needit-spongebob-squarepants-need-it-gif-4883495

[hearty edge]

like after u get it fully upgraded you can basically perma stun any demon cuz the recharge goes off right after they get unstunned

[spiral crow]

Lol same here, my top 3 goes like this, number 1 is siege part 1, number 2 is the holy city of Aratum and 3 is Sentinel barracks

[green estuary]

in 2016 the early game at least gives you some leeway with choice
in eternal, sticky bombs are just objectively superior to full auto, no questions asked
and micromissiles are decent but precision bolt just offers so much utility with much better ammo efficiency
and lock on burst is so much better than remote det it's not even funny

oh, and heat blast is just a given, since microwave beam sucks ass

[spiral crow]

Full auto slander in the small 2026

[hearty edge]

i would add forsaken plains cuz i'm an infernal chasm glazer but w picks

also botb and reckoning

[spiral crow]

Damn yeah that's another good one

[twilit stone]

ngl I use full auto, the sound the shotgun makes with it is so crunchy that it kinda makes up for it

[spiral crow]

But i think the bigger levels are my favs while the more smaller levels are at the bottom for me but still great

[green estuary]

maybe it gets use for an arachnotron or two in the first level but that's it lol

I've literally got 16 shells at my disposal, full auto is just ridiculously wasteful

[spiral crow]

Nah..... i will not tolerate full auto slander

[hearty edge]

and i also feel it limits me since no splash dmg means less crowd control

[twilit stone]

I think for the first few levels the sticky bombs are definitely better, but after you get more ammo upgrades full auto's a bit more viable (at least for me)

[spiral crow]

[green estuary]

it's fine when fully mastered, but not before then
you literally deal less damage than an SSG blast despite using up 4 shells

[spiral crow]

You win this time

[green estuary]

yeah, 5 point blank full auto shells deal 1600 damage, same as a single SSG blast
the value just ain't there

[twilit stone]

really???

dayum, didnt know that

[green estuary]

yeah full auto shares a damage decl with the primary fire

[spiral crow]

[green estuary]

fires 10 pellets per shot, each pellet deals 32 damage at point blank

the SSG fires 16 pellets, each dealing 100 damage at point blank

mmm, balance

[spiral crow]

Indeed

[heady trout]

microwave only becomes good in the dlc 😭

cause it's the only stun method for possessed pricks

[twilit stone]

Theres no other way to say it i mean they literally had to make an enemy that can only be killed by that mod because it's that fucking useless lol

[fleet spruce]

Atleast it's not as bad as stone imps

[elder raven]

Listen to me…

microwave beam is the method against cyber mancubi

[stuck basalt]

bro i thought he said in a few days 💀😭idk why

[green estuary]

or just use a frag

or an ice bomb

or an ssg blast

or heat blast

[twilit stone]

Or just blood punch em, they die almost insantly from one of those lol

[neon grail]

I'm about get doom the dark ages

What's the best tip

[spiral crow]

Alright listen, the best tip is "Daisy"

[fading bone]

check the settings/sliders to tailor the gameplay to your liking throughout the game. you can make the game feel exactly like you want to

[obsidian shard]

Also Turn up Music to be 20-30% Louder then Sound Effects

[fading bone]

music at max, everything else below

[neon grail]

Thanks

[neon grail]

Thanks

[obsidian shard]

[hearty edge]

Literally every weapon is good so feel free to use like whatever you want

[neon grail]

Is there super shotgun or no?

[hearty edge]

I would suggest some certain things like using the chainsost or SSG for armor

[hearty edge]

Yes it kills mancubi in two hits

[neon grail]

okay

[hearty edge]

And puts hell knights in glory kill state in one

[neon grail]

its at 39% rn
