Hellknights you gotta weave around them well, also a few ssg shots gets them down fast

#

Switch between all your guns, you can go just ssg but thats no fun :)

harsh oar
#

triple blast shotgun for me

native grove
#

Grenade shot for me, gives the shotgun range

elder meadow
#

i want to own doom 2016 for steam

native grove
#

Also the satisfaction of hitting a demon with a shotgun grenade from far away satisfacdoom

harsh oar
#

anyone using HRFT?

native grove
#

meaning?

#

I'm horrible with acronyms

elder meadow
#

i like the shotgun mod for smaller groups of demons and i like the triple shot burst to take care of bigger demons

#

I think I'm on the 3rd or 4th mission on campaign where I get introduced to hellknights

native grove
#

Nice, you're just gettin into the meat of it

harsh oar
elder meadow
#

but i hardly ever use the triple shot burst because other weapons exist

#

cough ssg

native grove
#

Huh is that a toggable option? I never noticed that

harsh oar
#

yeah i already played through in 2016 now im playing again

#

no, @native grove its external

native grove
#

triple shot feels too slow for me, you need to keep your aim on one demon for too long

#

I see, no wonder I haven't used it before

elder meadow
#

playing on pc or console? @harsh oar

harsh oar
#

hellknights are stationary for a moment after jump

#

pc

elder meadow
#

dang

harsh oar
#

which is why i am playing again

elder meadow
#

in the future im going to own doom 2016 for steam so i can play though it on ultra nightmare

native grove
#

gonna have to be quick, eternals soon doomguy_god

elder meadow
#

i hope so but i dunno if i can scrape up money for it in time

#

I love the music though especially when u destroy those nests

native grove
#

Criminal

#

Add me on steam

#

Aw he's gone

elder meadow
#

ok

harsh oar
#

i just feel like the default spatial mixing is REALLY REALY bad and it makes me sad

#

every enemy sounds like its on your shoulders

elder meadow
#

whats your thingy @native grove

native grove
#

Should be connected to my discord, if not just search for sokysergent147

#

(Notice it's spelled wrong)

elder meadow
#

i dunno steam said your account doesnt exist 🤷‍♂️

native grove
#

You need to have used at least 5 bucks on steam to be able to add people as friends

#

Whats your handle?

elder meadow
#

its just CriminalCuteness lol

#

but my avatar is a cat

native grove
#

think I found ya

elder meadow
#

yup i got your thing

#

notice tho cuz i only have like a handful of online games i can play with you

#

i got csgo and destiny 2 and some other random games

native grove
#

We can also play doom together now :)

elder meadow
#

soky you are way too nice ;-;

native grove
#

<3

elder meadow
#

now we have another multiplayer game we can play together cacocutie

native grove
#

Hell ye

#

First though, you gotta play that campaign

#

The mp doesn't stand up to it at all

elder meadow
#

yeah ik

#

i gotta do some hw and projects and stuff tho

native grove
#

Good luck with all that

elder meadow
#

well i guess i got something to look forward to when i do finish cacocutie

native grove
#

Indeed doomguy_god_hd

#

Hit me up if you ever wanna play mp

elder meadow
#

yes you are a real slayer soky jerry

native grove
#

We all are satisfacdoom

harsh oar
#

anyone have vulkan issues

#

game crashes for me

native grove
#

I get that too

#

I just use opengl

#

Seems vulkan just loves to crash on some pcs

harsh oar
#

the game has been patched 6 times, how is this still a thing

#

im trying to find a vulkan benchark to see if its a vulkan issue

#

im sure vulkan would run much better on my system rx570

#

first result for "vulkan crash" brings up doom

native grove
harsh oar
#

do you have "vulkan runtime libraries" a heading in installed programs

native grove
#

Me?

harsh oar
#

Please note: Once you remove it from your computer, you’ll have a tough time reinstalling it. You may need to buy a new graphics card if you decide that you want to get it again.

I cant imagine this being true, but i do NOT have the runtiume

#

yes

native grove
#

I have no idea

harsh oar
#

go to add remove programs and check lol

native grove
#

I don't remember ever deleting something like that

#

How do I get there?

harsh oar
#

winmdows key, "programs"

native grove
#

Huh I got nothing with vulkan in the name

harsh oar
#

ok

#

maybe that is why it crashes lol

native grove
#

Could be, gotta look into it later

#

Opengl works well enough for me at least ¯_(ツ)_/¯

crystal orbit
#

just realised I accidentally put my praetor tokens into area scanning instead of environmental resistance (UN)

native grove
#

Ufff

#

The amount of times I've just clicked enter thinking it would select the first thing in the menu and then upgraded the wrong thing is ungodly

crystal orbit
#

well, I only did it with the first one at least

#

As cool as the room with the first argent cell is mr Hayden takes his sweet time explaining what’s going on

hoary badger
#

excuse me thats Doctor Hayden to you

#

he didn't spend all those years working on his phd to be a Mr

signal wagon
#

I basically exclusively use the combat shotgun, the SSG, and Gauss rifle

#

Everything I rarely use unless I'm low on ammo

crystal orbit
#

Sorry Doctor Hayden aka tall cyborg daddy

hoary badger
#

yes "tall cyborg daddy" is his prefered title

crystal orbit
#

...that’s the worst way to end your ultra nightmare run. I blew myself up with a barrel because I was one praetor token shirt of immunity to barrels due to accidentally using one on scanning technology

signal wagon
#

tall cyborg daddy is 😳

crystal orbit
#

Alright place your bets what level will I die on (I doubt I’ll finish the run)

native grove
#

Glory kill glitching you through the floor, bet

crystal orbit
#

I forgot to grab the bobble head on the first level rip

native grove
#

Welp it can be a 99% run spooky

crystal orbit
#

Not worried about % just those WUPs early game

native grove
#

hmhm true

long hazel
#

the bobblehead?
isn't there two in every map?

crystal orbit
#

Not in the first one

native grove
#

Huh never thought about the fact that they're just one there

long hazel
#

wait a sec
there are two in that level
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Site_03#Collectibles

DoomWiki.org

Site 03, also referred to simply as The UAC, is the first level of Doom (2016). The first mission, Rip & Tear, begins in this level and continues into the Martian Outskirts. The Doom marine awakes from his slumber to find himself trapped in a holding facility overrun with dem...

#

I found only one

#

so it turns out you missed two

harsh oar
#

ugh i cna not figure this out for anything. WHYHWHWY

#

why is vulkan so buggy

long hazel
#

Vulkan works perfectly fine for me

hallow prawn
#

Vulkan is pretty stable. Probably you have some GPU issues

elder meadow
#

Woah Doom 2016 has it's own Razer Chroma lighting effects OwO

#

That's pretty awesome ngl

elder meadow
#

razer chroma sucks it gave me micro stuttering >:c

lavish junco
#

I'm playing DOOM 2016 on Xbox One if anyone wants to join AshleyBazSivorn

elder meadow
#

man after playing Doom 2016 on pc for 2 hours

#

its just amazing

#

aiming is so much less awkward for me and im destroying ultra-violence difficulty

crystal orbit
#

Oh yeah @long hazel my bad I dont think of the first one because I automatically get it jumping over from getting the keycard as opposed to the second one where you have to leave the area of combat through the tunnel

crystal orbit
#

Yeah I have it this time

#

Missed one or two secrets though unfortunately. I can never remember where they all are in the foundry

#

Yeah I missed the rocket launcher and one of the guards

cobalt dune
#

Is plugging a stream against the rules? 🤔

native grove
#

Same I wish there was like 10

#

I've already finished nightmare on all 3 too many times to count

shrewd shale
#

imagine playing a game as a giant spider demon thingy and the one boss you can't ever beat is a tiny guy with a double barrel shotgun

candid eagle
#

Considering on buying Doom Eternal, but have never played a SINGLE Doom Game.

I'm guessing I should at least get Doom 2016 and play it so I know what I'm getting myself into. I DON'T want to end up like Dean Takahashi...

elder meadow
#

@candid eagle
I reccomend you rather go through the whole franchise.

candid eagle
#

I don't have that kind of money.

#

At best, I might get 2 games this year, if at all.

#

College bills man

shrewd shale
#

don't have the money?

#

the old doom games are pretty cheap

#

they're like $5 a pop an you can probably get a bundle on steam or something

#

I've just copied the .wad files from the steam install and used a third party engine

fast sleet
#

the old ones are like $5 each on steam, doom 2016 is only $20 i think

burnt badger
#

Well yeah but if Eternal is the aim, 2016 is better prep since it plays more like Eternal than any of the others

fast sleet
#

true, old ones are still awesome though

burnt badger
#

Unfortunately they just missed the sales - 2016 was pretty damn cheap over the winter Steam sale

#

And the other day they did a sale on the Beth store too

shrewd shale
#

jeez

#

doom 2016 sold 3.6 million copies

burnt badger
#

Yeah but over the winter sale it was like $10 or something

shrewd shale
#

I didn't think it was that mainstream

#

I wonder how well doom eternals gonna sell

fast sleet
#

doom 2016 is $20 on everything except switch i think, don't know why it has to be $60 on switch

burnt badger
#

Probably even more, after 2016 being pretty successful, there will be a lot of Eternal preorders, more than 2016 most likely.

shrewd shale
#

apparently all switch ports are $60

#

also WAT!? Witcher 3 is on switch
how do they get all these games running on a tiny mobile processor

burnt badger
#

I know it's pretty crazy. Digital Foundry is a good place to watch some videos on those ports, they cover some of the changes to get them performing on there

#

But yeah kinda shame it's so expensive on Switch still

fast sleet
#

it's pretty impressive how doom 2016 runs on switch even if the graphics aren't that great

#

still shouldn't be $60 especially since it runs the worst

dusky raptor
#

@candid eagle just play 2016 my man, that's where I started. It's been my favorite game ever since I got it back in early 2018. Sure, playing the earlier ones will make you appreciate how far the franchise has come, but yeah playing 2016 will leave you off with exactly what's going on in eternal.

#

I'm doing an Ultra-Nightmare run right now and I'm having just as much fun as my first play through.

prisma summit
#

So I've been playing this game for the first time ever

#

I beat the Cyberdemon with 1 HP LEFT today.

#

My heart was beating so fast

harsh oar
#

anyone running on vulkan that had issues initially?

lament anvil
#

the only issue i have with vulkan is the game closing after i use Alt+tab to check discord while in fullscreen

#

so that's why I don't use it

lone dune
#

Never had any issues with Vulkan specifically aside from capture software not working, which is expected

harsh oar
#

i get heavy artifacts and crash in game . uninstalled and reinstalled doom and now i get hard crash on launch

lone dune
#

Might be time to switch back to OpenGL to see if it still works

#

You can edit the DoomConfig.local file in %userprofile%\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base with a text editor and change r_renderAPI to 0

nocturne basin
#

Yeah OpenGL works with my OBS Studio sadly

lone dune
#

Until OBS makes a Vulkan capture then it's OpenGL only

nocturne basin
#

yeah

elder meadow
#

what api is better on doom 2016?

#

open gl or vulkan?

#

im running it on an overclocked 1060 6gb

#

vulkan runs smoothly from what ive seen but open gl has like occasional micro stutter

worldly magnet
#

the lighting in vulkan looks better to me

lone dune
#

Vulkan is, in theory and practice, supposed to offer better performance due to it be a low level API that talk to the bare metal so to speak

elder meadow
#

oh i see

#

thanks for the info

#

im not that much of an expert on graphics apis lol 😄

burnt badger
#

You have to just try it

true spade
#

Ultra nightmare tips?

burnt badger
#

I have a 6700k and 1070, and vulkan actually runs very slightly worse for me

#

10 series is known to not make much use of vulkan, but it depends on the level of the GPU and CPU

#

@true spade Depends what you need, it's too complex to just write a few tips really

#

Main thing is to play the game on Nightmare since it's the same difficulty minus permadeath

elder meadow
#

isnt the game super ultra optimized?

true spade
#

I already do play on nightmare

burnt badger
#

Learn all the levels inside-out and it's possible

true spade
#

First few levels are a pain in the rear though

elder meadow
#

wish i could play it on my pc

#

i have the specs but not the money lmao

burnt badger
dusky raptor
#

Personally, I find following guides makes the playthrough less rewarding.

#

When you figure it out by yourself

burnt badger
#

Well yeah I enjoyed figuring the game out myself

#

But some people just want to play it and be done, especially to get the achievement for the first level

dusky raptor
#

Oh no I understand, I'm not giving guides trash.

#

I'm just saying personally, I find more pleasure in doing it all solo.

burnt badger
#

@elder meadow An Imp that's permanently staggered? Sounds like a glitch

violet hinge
#

yeah the perma stagger bug is pretty common, for me at least

burnt badger
#

And as I say, tips are kind of hard to give because it's a somewhat complex game, so I tend to link the guides if someone needs overall pointers

#

Are you sure you're not talking about Imps that go AFK on pillars?

violet hinge
#

it's probably dead, some demons die and then bug out and just stand there. I had a revenant die, but he stood there in an idle animation

burnt badger
#

That happens all the time, but it's not a stagger stage, since they cannot be staggered on walls or pillars

#

Well if that's common I don't know the parameters, I've basically never seen that

violet hinge
#

in my 600 hours, I've encountered endlessly staggered demons hundreds of times. It happens quite often for me

burnt badger
#

Most recently I saw someone with a Hell Razer walking around that appeared invincible, but it was actually dead and actually had the corpse fade whilst it was still in motion

#

Guess it must be something system specific, since I don't recall ever having it

#

I get loads of AFK demons, especially when using holograms

violet hinge
#

I only touched the MP enough to get the achievements. 95% of my 600 hours are SP

#

Usually I can still kill endlessly staggered demons, but it requires a lot of extra ammo

#

its like they gain a shit ton of health when it happens

#

no, it's a bug. they don't leave stagger state

#

they just get stuck in stagger state and gain a ton of HP

burnt badger
#

Staggers are normally more of an HP percentage

#

Which becomes ridiculous if you equip Intimacy is Best spooky

#

That's why Imps on pillars / walls seem so tanky, since they have no stagger state, and the stagger health adds on

#

In fact, if anything it seems like more health is added on. I don't really know the specifics. I suspect someone has gone into the files and can explain it properly

worldly magnet
#

is it just me or do revenants stay staggered for an enormous amount of time

burnt badger
#

I've not really noticed. I never timed staggers specifically apart from bosses

worldly magnet
#

to bosses recover from a stagger besides the hell guards?

burnt badger
#

Some enemies do have glitches though - Hell Knights in particular can glitch out of staggers almost immediately sometimes

worldly magnet
#

revenants always have long staggers for me

#

like 10 seconds

burnt badger
#

Yes, the Cyberdemon does, but it's around 10 seconds, so you're unlikely to experience it

worldly magnet
#

or more

#

final boss dosent recover

#

i sat there for 5 minutes after i killed it and nothing happened

burnt badger
#

Sounds like a glitch with the Rev then, 10 seconds is more like Dazed and Confused mastered territory

worldly magnet
#

idk man

#

test it out

burnt badger
#

Yeah I never timed it, but I heard some people deliberately sat there and didn't get the Mastermind to come out of stagger after a long time spooky

loud citrus
#

guys a little question

#

how to make the multiplayer smoother?

#

i wanna 100% the game before eternal comes out but it needs like 15 hours of multiplayer grind

worldly magnet
#

definitly use the bounty rune

karmic flax
#

Yeah revenants take forever to get unstaggered for me

loud citrus
#

i know about the bounty rune but it still terrible

#

even tho i'm usually ending with like 4th score in the game

worldly magnet
#

use combat shotgun with ssg and stay in close quarters

#

flip between those 2 guns

#

and use the red electric grenade thing to do more damage

#

and doom 2016 mp has dedicated players that are WAYYY too good at it

#

it will be a struggle

loud citrus
#

i'm already echelon 2 but it's still a long way to go

#

i've seen some guys with two shotguns

worldly magnet
#

oh yea you got a long way to go

loud citrus
#

and by flipping between them

#

do you mean like shoot once, swap weapon, shoot?

worldly magnet
#

flipping between guns can cancle the reload on the ssg

#

also hitting the melee in doom mp can cancle the reload on the ssg too

#

yea

loud citrus
#

yea the combo with ssg+melee seems to be quite good

lone dune
#

Good ol' animation cancelling

loud citrus
#

i'll try the two shotguns

stone hill
#

ugh

#

trying do ultra-nightmare again and i absolutely hate Foundry

#

the hell knights scare the frick out of me

#

i used to remember what causes each one to spawn but it's been so long since i did my last playthrough

noble moat
#

I suggest doing an extra nightmare run b4 UN

stone hill
#

i've already beaten ultra nightmare before

#

the first time i beat it i pretty much memorized the entire game

#

just really dislike this level in particular lol

#

before eternal comes out i want to try and beat ultra nightmare on all 3 save files

#

YES i know which one you mean

#

this whole level is just

#

i think this is where i died the most by far

#

actually it's probably level 2

pearl gorge
#

Doom 2016's assets are still downloading on my Xbox since I uninstalled it because my game pass expired and I got a disc. Not all of the graphics are downloaded so it looks like mush

dusky raptor
#

Hey guys, if I crash during an Ultra-Nightmare run will my save file corrupt?

#

I swear I'm going to be so pissed if it does

stone hill
#

no

pearl gorge
#

There's no lighting as well

dusky raptor
#

Thank you @stone hill

stone hill
#

one time i ran into a glitch on Vega Core, where a demon spawned out of bounds in the cooling room and it was impossible to kill him and progress, and i just shut off my computer and when i booted up the game my save file was still there and it loaded up outside the cooling room

#

had to do the fight again but at least i didn't have to start over

#

i'm assuming the same thing will happen if it crashes

native grove
#

Most of the time its fine, but theres still a chance it will corrupt

elder meadow
#

Ive had a few glitches while playing Doom 2016 it's alright bro

#

prop acceleration lol

#

Almost killed me a few times but it was funny

#

Never had anything that crazy though

stone hill
#

apparently it's common

#

i've had it happen to me multiple times

#

and when i looked it up it happened to lots of others

#

something about that room specifically

pearl gorge
#

I now own the most painful to watch doom gameplay ever made

burnt badger
#

Yeah those Hell Knights in Foundry are pretty sneaky

#

Especially the two that spawn once you pick up the blue key

noble moat
#

Easy. Bum rush left after getting key and pump everything into first hell knight

#

By the time u see the second u should have an rpg

stone hill
#

it's not that they're difficult to kill it's that they legitimately scare me

#

does anyone else prefer remote detonator to lock on burst

noble moat
#

Lock on makes summoners and most enemies a joke

#

The remote detonator looks way better in eternal

burnt badger
#

Well the thing is, if you continue to the blue key room, sometimes the field drone knight comes straight in which is annoying

stone hill
#

remote detonator rocket launcher is probs my fave weapon in the game

burnt badger
#

And once I had one ninja on me - I went straight out of the blue room to the field drone, and it wasn't there. It suddenly appeared behind me spooky

#

Remote det is good, with upgrades it has a nice power boost

stone hill
#

i havent looked at any eternal footage and i dont plan to but i'm glad to heard the remote det is even better..

#

the jagged shrapnel ability + the one where rockets can explode twice is so strong

burnt badger
#

Yeah, I used to think it didn't help when mastered unless you detonated it manually. But turns out it does, ramping up the damage even more for direct hits too.

stone hill
#

on boss enemies with health bars, you can see how much damage the shrapnel actually does and it's more than you would think, especially after stacking it with a bunch of rockets

elder meadow
#

Is this about ultra nightmare run?

#

Or just foundry level in general?

stone hill
#

both

#

i like binding rocket launcher and gauss cannon to my mouse and quickly swapping between them

#

i think i learned it from some steam guide

burnt badger
#

Oh yeah, if you BFG a boss then rotate gauss / supershotgun / rocket it's pretty insane

elder meadow
#

I finished foundry on ultra Violence a few hours ago it wasn't that bad

burnt badger
#

Especially as you say with remote det mastered, and super shotgun mastered

#

@elder meadow Sounds like you're ready for Nightmare then doomguy_wicked

elder meadow
#

I'll admit tho I did get sneak attacked by one of them in the turbine room

burnt badger
#

Yeah the knights are cheeky in Foundry

elder meadow
#

Nightmare doomguy_god_hd

stone hill
#

yes play on nightmare

elder meadow
#

I dunno alot? Lol

noble moat
#

Ultra violence and nightmare is a HUGE gap

stone hill
#

after i beat the game on ultra-nightmare for the first time, it feels like playing on any other mode has no stakes

noble moat
#

In terms of damage taken

stone hill
#

is it really

elder meadow
#

If I had to guess there's probably like uhh 12 hell Knights in foundry

noble moat
#

Imps can do max 75 damage with a fireball on nightmare

elder meadow
#

Wtf 75?

noble moat
#

Ye

stone hill
#

imps hanging on walls are freaking snipers on ultra nightmare

elder meadow
#

Damn looks like I'll need to put even more hours into Doom doomguy_god_hd

noble moat
#

Barons of hell green fireballs can basically max kill you. And most large enemy attacks don’t do less than 100 give or take

elder meadow
#

So it's basically dodge as much as you can or suffer

noble moat
#

Possessed soldiers and lost souls can easily chunk out 50 damage per hit and repeat 3-4 times in 2 seconds

#

Dodge and kill as fast as possible in Nightmare

elder meadow
#

What about the possessed soldiers and their annoying charge up shots

noble moat
#

Op af

elder meadow
#

Man those things kinda hurt and the aoe is more than you'd expect

burnt badger
#

10 Hell Knights on Foundry

noble moat
#

Not to mentioned possessed soldier charge shots have splash

#

The splash alone can rip you 50-60 ish hp

elder meadow
#

Alright I'm about to continue my ultra Violence campaign

#

Argent energy tower

burnt badger
#

And yeah most medium and up enemies do huge damage

elder meadow
#

I've managed to find all the secrets and weapons so far doomguy_god_hd

noble moat
#

It’s honestly safer to yeet a bfg or chainsaw large enemies later on

burnt badger
#

Pinky charge is something like 125 I think. And yeah Baron fireballs, Caco fireballs, that kinda stuff is 105 I believe

elder meadow
#

I imagine the hell levels are going to be a little harder to find stuff though

stone hill
#

don't be intimidated though it's not actually that hard

noble moat
#

Pinky charge like 125 followed by a like 70damage bite right away

burnt badger
#

Even Mancubi fireballs are 75 and they come pretty damn fast

stone hill
#

past level 6 i've very rarely died on ultra nightmare

#

one time on level 12 due to a stupid mistake

noble moat
#

It’s all about practice, tbh dodging stuff isn’t too hard once maxed out

burnt badger
#

Though the single most dangerous attack by a standard enemy is actually the Cacodemon's bite, which does a massive 200

noble moat
#

That bite is even more op in eternal

burnt badger
#

Yeah UN gets easier the longer you go, as you get more weapons and upgrades

stone hill
#

the infinite ammo ability with the gauss cannon is insane

noble moat
#

Infinite micro missiles is fun ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

burnt badger
#

You can pretty much cheese the final third of the game if you know all the upgrades

stone hill
#

cacos are high priority enemies on nightmare

noble moat
#

Everything is in eternal

stone hill
#

i'm excited for eternal ultra nightmare

noble moat
#

Hell knights in eternal makes 2016 hell knights look like a joke

burnt badger
#

And yes you shouldn't let a Caco get that close, but if you don't remember where they are, you can get trashed quick. I've seen it happen on UN before cacodemon

elder meadow
#

Omg I'm dumb

stone hill
#

is nightmare even unlocked to begin with

elder meadow
#

I just barely started argen energy tower and I was bunny hopping

#

And I jumped straight off the map

noble moat
#

Idk of nightmare is unlocked or not, I hope it is, I don’t wanna start eternal on UV;-;

burnt badger
#

Nightmare should be, it is in 2016, even though it looks like it isn't because it's red

noble moat
#

Criminal that had happened to me more often than I’d like to admit,
“Me jumping like an idiot. Falls off map”

stone hill
#

oh for some reason i thought you had to unlock it

elder meadow
stone hill
#

yeah i'll probably start on nightmare too

burnt badger
#

Well apparently one of the people that got to play said that UN was unlocked, and they actually played on it

stone hill
#

everything else just feels way too easy

burnt badger
#

But that's not to say it will be in the final game

noble moat
#

Well they played the Un Extra lives mode.

burnt badger
#

I honestly can't see why someone would want to start with UN, but some people are mad I guess spooky

noble moat
#

Apparently there are 2 versions of UN ,
The one with the floating lives, and one without any lives

#

Idk how credible that is but sounds interesting

burnt badger
#

Indeed

scarlet gorgeBOT
#

Indeed!

burnt badger
#

Well there was an interview that explain the extra lives thing, but the word on UN is only from someone that tried it briefly

noble moat
#

Man I just want to dash left and right like an idiot

#

Whelp. Back to my UN switch run

I'm kinda tempted to start Eternal on NM though. Now that it seems you can switch up and down from NM (unlike in 2016), I could just bail out of it's too bad

noble moat
#

I want to start on Nightmare, cuz that’s what I enjoy most, but also like everyone is saying eternal is much much faster and harder than 2016

#

Which sounds epic af

burnt badger
#

Yeah. I watched a bit of NM footage with KB/M and it honestly looked mad, probably more than I want to handle on a first playthrough

noble moat
#

Boutta do this on switch no gyro I Can’t wait

burnt badger
#

But I might just try it, and if I'm dying several times in the same area early game, then I can switch down to UV

stone hill
#

lol i almost died because i used a health station while in a fight

#

i thought you would be invincible during it like a glory kill

burnt badger
#

yeah in my experience, never pick up items if you're still in a fight spooky

noble moat
#

Glory killings during fights are dangerous too. Imps like to launch fireballs as soon as animation is over

burnt badger
#

I think it depends on the pick-up as to whether you get protection or not

noble moat
#

Man I can’t wait for DASH doomguy_god_hd

stone hill
#

yeah i know a lot of people swear to never glory kill on ultra nightmare

burnt badger
#

It depends on the situation generally

#

Sometimes it can actually help, especially if you see an imp already charging a fireball and you've got a GK right next to you

noble moat
#

Knuckles eternalsatisfacdoom

stone hill
#

yeah i probably glory kill more than i should but i don't get in trouble for it very often

burnt badger
#

Early game it can also be easier to GK rather than use ammo too

#

It's surprising how much I use GK still actually, since I did a UN run without GK apart from bosses (I disabled my melee to be sure) and it's somewhat frustrating in the early game

#

Oh and of course than meant no chainsaw or beserk either

stone hill
#

i need chainsaw for my rocket supply in the early game

burnt badger
#

Yeah if you like to use rockets in Foundry it's not so fun without the chainsaw

#

Though you can fill with the Argent Cell

stone hill
#

i do all health first

#

then all ammo

burnt badger
#

Interesting

#

I much prefer to balance

#

Generally I get at least one armour before Kadingir, since Kadingir has a ton of armour pick-ups but not that much health

#

So you can kind of waster HP there if you get lower on health but can only pick up a bit of armour. Though it's not like you'll probably be losing that much health come Kadingir anyway for it to matter

stone hill
#

one time on Foundry, I glory killed on the gore nest above the lava and it phased me through the railing and i fell into the lava

#

it was like what speedrunners do to get out of bounds

burnt badger
#

I also quite like to get two ammo upgrades come Kadingir as well, mostly for five fuel for Barons and Mancubi, but also some extra juice for Siege Mode

#

Yeah that bottom gore nest is one area I try to avoid GKs as much as possible, since it's easy to glitch.

#

Oh and I almost always take armour from the cell in Argent Facility, since that level has next to nothing

#

It only has what 3 +15 armour suits and a bunch of shards, which on NM / UN really isn't much

#

So it's quite nice if you lose all your armour to just bump up an instant +75 from the cell

stone hill
#

idk i've only ever done all health, then all ammo, then armor

burnt badger
#

There are plenty of health stations to refill health

stone hill
#

i memorized the mega health locations

#

is that what those things are called

#

mega healths

burnt badger
#

Well if it works for you it doesn't matter, but if you're having difficulties then I would recommend that strategy of throwing in an armour upgrade at argent facility, and an ammo upgrade or two before Kadingir as well

#

Yeah they're megahealth in this game

#

And yes if you know where they all are, you can get a real handy boost

#

If you're doing 100% UN, however, leaving armour cell until the end is pretty useful, since I believe they contribute to upgrading Rich Get Rich, and especially Armored Offensive

stone hill
#

i want to see someone who's ultra nightmare strategy involves upgrading area scanning technology first

burnt badger
#

@stone hill I don't think I've ever seen someone do that spooky

#

But considering some people run UN without an upgrades at all, it shouldn't be too much of a problem

elder meadow
#

dang

true spade
#

Gamers quick should I go for health or armor for my un run

long hazel
#

I assume you mean which one you should go for first

true spade
#

Yeah

karmic flax
#

If you go for health you get a free chainsaw kill on the first hellknight in the next level when you can go for ammo

I just got to hell are there any secret guns

I got the sniper before

#

Dang I just discovered a new glory kill that I've never seen in Doom 2016 before

#

Nice

runic sigil
#

@elder meadow, which one?

quaint grail
#

Just played through doom 2016 twice cuz my file got corrupted at titans realm

elder meadow
#

If you stagger an imp and aim above it's head from behind then you'll break it's neck

runic sigil
#

Oh, that one

quaint grail
#

I love that glory kill

elder meadow
#

First time I've seen it lol

#

Im so used to seeing the one where you break the imps jaw off

quaint grail
#

I've been trying to pull it off for a while when I finally did a few days ago

#

i know right!

elder meadow
#

Man I feel like I'm constantly discovering new things in this game and it's freaking 4 years old

runic sigil
#

Funny, I get the one where you break the imp's neck more than you break it's jaw...

elder meadow
#

Huh weird

#

I'm not entirely sure then

#

But when I aim at it's back or something the game will do the one where you break the imps jaw but when I aimed above it's head it did the neck snap

#

Not entirely sure if that's correct but I think that's what I did

#

When u get the berserk mode and go up to an imp u will rip its head apart

runic sigil
#

Love that one

elder meadow
#

I think on Twitter I saw a glory kill from the official Doom page for eternal

#

It's where you like use your blade to cut the prowler open then the Slayer sticks his fingers in there but then the gif loops there 😭

native grove
#

That one is painful to watch doomguy_dead

elder meadow
#

Yes it is doomcry

#

I don't feel anything except the need to rip & tear to Mick gordans tracks doomguy_god_hd

You should definitely get it, but mobile turret is another powerful mod

all i did was just run around and try to dodge his fireballs and just throw everything at him

#

at least hologram is on my side cacocutie

haughty bough
#

Hologram vs siphon grenade

elder meadow
#

If you get Equipment Power upgdraded plus Rich Get Richer & fully upgraded Gauss Cannon Siege...

burnt badger
#

Yeah the holograms are pretty sweet, when fully stacked and with equipment power you can pretty much drop one as the previous one was ending. Though that depends somewhat on what was attacking it, since big enemies wear the holograms down quicker

#

Still you can have a situation where you're only getting attacked by a few demons at once, which is more manageable

#

Any tips for Arcade mode?

worldly magnet
#

to get high score?

#

ether stun bomb + headshots with the HAR or try and go for stun + headshot + triple shot, to get the max ammount of trophies

#

stun and then aim for the head with the shotgun and fire off a triple shot

#

its very hard to hit consistently tho

crystal orbit
#

What he said. It’s easy enough to get Slayer rating on every level UN playing normally though

#

I recommend taking out the relics and collecting them as soon as you see them otherwise they’re likely to get activated by imps or something else hitting them while you’re not looking and then you end up with the lowest bonus

Tell him if he honestly wants doom on switch just wait for eternal

Same price for way more content

Or wait for eshop sales. Whenever doom goes on sale it drops to $30 eshop

Or wait for eternal to drop anyway, doom 2016 will then go on sale

Good, hey I am making a character for a couple of short stories in the Doom Universe. I have her use like a sword made of hell energy. Should the sword be like a conduit hence protecting her from the hell energy?

Yes or u should make a gun with hell energy

How will that work?

Will it be glowly?

Or fleshy

noble moat

Hell energy shots. Like the one form 2016 multiplayer

U could make the gun out of pinky skin that shoots hell bullets

Should she or he be partially corrupted? Like horns, or even wings?

Man Doom 2016 is such an incredibly optimized game it's crazy

There were some bad stutters but overall a very playable experience

First of all what the F*ck did Discord just do

Second of all i just tried Ultra-Nightmare

Straight off of Hurt Me Plenty and whew mate

#

I see why people like this game on higher difficulties

But who's bright idea was it to put the trophy on Ultra-Nightmare instead of just Nightmare

noble moat
#

Why would u go from hurt me plenty to hella hard permadeath mode?

vast fable
#

Because I figured I might as well go for the "Complete UAC on Ultra-Nightmare difficulty" and go for platinum

#

I thought the first level couldn't be too hard

violet hinge
#

The UN achievement isn't really bad at all, it's only one level, and an extremely short level at that

#

they should have made an achievement for beating UN doomguy_grin

vast fable
#

Can't imagine what it's gonna be like on Eternal

#

whew

violet hinge
#

honestly, it doesn't seem that bad in Eternal but I guess we'll see

noble moat
#

Eternal is 10 times faster and harder than 2016

elder meadow
#

^

noble moat
#

But harder is a relative term tho

violet hinge
#

Honestly I disagree with them saying it's going to be significantly harder. They made a lot of changes that makes Nightmare easier.

noble moat
#

It is harder, but how much harder is all dependent on skill

#

It surely is a much much faster game tho, that is undeniable

elder meadow
#

There's so many different demons compared to 2016 and there's a larger emphasis on mobility this time

violet hinge
#

For one, you can't die to imps/soldiers/zombies when you're low on health as long as you're moving. Imp shots will only do 2/3/4/5 damage if you're low

vast fable
#

Being able to aim helps in games like these, which isn't my strong suit

violet hinge
#

No more one shot kills from imps

#

And another, you gain the same amount of health from pickups as the other difficulties

noble moat
#

I play doom on a switch with no gyro, I don’t see how aiming can be an issue.

elder meadow
#

Change your dpi and game sens so you can aim better @vast fable

#

Oh

noble moat
#

Sensitivity tweaking should always be done level 1

elder meadow
#

Yes

#

For every game

noble moat
#

Once you find your sensitivity the rest is practice

vast fable
#

Aiming is relative, considering I only started playing FPS games like late 2018

elder meadow
#

Oh

fair sinew
#

optimized my ass, i meet the minimum requirements but I cant run the game stable without making the game ugly

elder meadow
#

I just started playing Doom 2016 on PC yesterday

violet hinge
#

lol, if you meet minimum requirements, that means minimum

#

don't expect to have a good looking game if you meet the minimum requirements.

noble moat
#

Ugly is a relative term

elder meadow
#

Bro Doom is pretty god damn well optimized compared to most other games

violet hinge
#

minimum just means it'll run, but with very low settings/lowered resolution etc.

#

it is extremely well optimized

elder meadow
#

^

noble moat
#

That’s why it’s called “minimum” requirements

fair sinew
#

even on the lowest settings I get stutter and bad texture streaming

elder meadow
#

Do you use Razer products with rgb?

vast fable
#

I mean some moron in my dms earlier was trying to tell me I could freaking run Destiny 2 on my 2011 HP WORK COMPUTER so it can't be that bad

violet hinge
#

that's because you meet the minimum requirements. Lower the resolution too.

fair sinew
#

texture quality in general is pretty low in this game, it relies on a lot of post processing for detail

elder meadow
#

If you do then turn of Razer Chroma for the game because Razer fucks everything up

vast fable
#

Honestly texture pop-in happens on the console versions too

elder meadow
#

^

violet hinge
#

the Chroma stuttering happens to people who don't even use Razer products too

#

I don't use Razer products, and when they put out that update, the stuttering hit me too

elder meadow
#

I've played Doom 2016 on PS4 and now on PC

vast fable
#

I'm playing on PS4

#

Base PS4 too, so loading times are ass

elder meadow
#

Honestly Razer is pretty shit I'm only putting up with them because they had a Christmas bundle that met my budget needs

the PS4 sounds like it runs the game better than your pc so spooky

elder meadow
#

What you mean PS4 is pretty good

fair sinew
#

loading times on my pc for Doom are actually really fast

elder meadow
#

Bruh that's probably just network issues on your end because my PS4 has never taken that long just for updates

it just doesnt maintain stable framerate

SamVision my download speed is literally somewhere around the 300 - 500 KBPS range so you don't know what bad download speeds are compared to me lmao

#

The game has really good optimization, my game is basically always at 200fps on max

elder meadow
#

Depending on the complexity of the level design it may drop to like 100 fps but overall it's perfectly fine and load times are like 4 seconds tops

#

That's fairly slow download speeds :( @vast fable

Fairly Slow

Just be honest and say i'd get better download speeds if I literally lived in an active warzone, and trust me, there's nothing that I can do about it is the worst part

Hello Argent Energy Tower UN, we meet again

fresh hearth
#

Is it just me, or do demons speed up the faster you move/play?

#

They seem to catch up with me even if I play with Blood Fueled and In-flight mobility enabled. With those two I can move way faster in air and around than average yet the demons seem to keep up. I think it’s awesome but idk if it’s just more intended AI mechanic

noble moat
#

I think it’s just your perception of them

#

Since you are going faster you think they are too

fresh hearth
#

Well, playing at 200fps everything speeds up for me.

So that might be it to lol

Now that I think about it... it’s probably just me. Hugo said that when they added meathook, dashing, and monkey bars against the demons tuned to the speed of 2016 nobody could touch you. If they did speed up they wouldn’t need to upgrade the demons for eternal

Can saves be transfered

#

I think I have to do a reinstall of Windows and at this point the only thing I care about is my doom save

violet hinge
#

if you're on steam, it should be cloud saved @harsh oar check the steam save settings

fringe horizon
#

But if installed by steam you will need to find the Steam folder in your profile first iirc

#

The problem I am having is my saves are being corrupted😩

#

I am using Geforce as my laptop is old and God mode cause I am crap

native grove
#

Your doom saves are saved on the cloud so you should be fine

#

When you reset your windows just remember if steam prompts you to upload local files or download cloud, download from cloud

#

when you start trying to upload files that don't exist to a cloud, thats when you start getting corruptions

#

london, you mean geforce now?

#

I've had same issue before. Clicked upload local instead of download from cloud and that messes up my saves

fringe horizon
#

@native grove yes

native grove
#

Otherwise it works just fine

fringe horizon
#

Hmm ok so I did an experiment and had one save as normal just to after the hanger

#

And one with GOD mode on at the same time

native grove
#

We're talking about doom 2016 here right?

fringe horizon
#

Only the GOD mode was corrupted

#

Yes

native grove
#

Right

#

Never used god mode so I don't know how that impacts it

#

Wdym by god mode was corrupted?

fringe horizon
#

So you try to load the save and it says the file is corrupted

native grove
#

I see I see

#

Best stay away from cheats then. Normal saves work fine

Fair enough, it's just going to be slooow progress for me!

@elder meadow 570 4gb. Should be ok. If not ultra, high most likely

I mean, unless there is a massive uptick in the engine.

I can't get vulkan to work at all

On doom. Works in cemu just fine

#

Yup

#

Tried 19.x and 20.x drivers

But either way, legit windows shouldn't matter.

I am surprised I didn't lose my licence though. Just replaced CPU/mobo

Man, the multiplayer is boring and casual

runic sigil
#

At least it doesn't take away from the main attraction, the single player, to be honest I didnt know there was a multiplayer until I got the game

open shell
#

i remember people saying 2016 was gonna be a huge flop after the first taste of the game was the multiplayer beta, i think it was more unbalanced at the time?

fair sinew
#

well the beta was shit because the MP was fundamentally flawed

runic sigil
#

It's possible, the game was still in beta after all...

burnt badger
#

That and hardly anyone had played the SP before release

fair sinew
#

Bethesda had no faith in the game

#

the bigwigs were convinced that that style of FPS had no future because they are out of touch

eternal anvil
#

yeah there was almost no single player gameplay released

worldly magnet
#

wrong, doom 2016 had troubled development, bethesda had no influence on it at all

burnt badger
#

The initial gameplay was presented in a slow manner. And then yeah we only got properly representative gameplay in the last few weeks before release I think

worldly magnet
#

in 2013 Zenimax asked the ID team to do a refresh and possibly start from scratch

open shell
#

thank you zenimax

worldly magnet
#

without zenimax intervention we would have call of doomie

open shell
#

basically what people thought doom 2016 was gonna be after the mp beta

eternal anvil
#

i thought id decided on their own to restart

fair sinew
#

and yet they didnt lift review embargo until the release date

worldly magnet
#

zenimax had input too since development ran for maaany years

fair sinew
#

proof plz

worldly magnet
#

"Meanwhile, the Rage team had already started planning out Rage 2, a source said. But when the first game was released to tepid critical and commercial response, executives at ZeniMax decided to start getting more involved with Id’s development process. Over the next couple of months, ZeniMax met with Id’s leadership, cancelled Rage 2, and downsized plans for Rage’s DLC, the source said.

The new plan, as of January 2012: refocus the studio, postpone or cancel all other projects, and get everyone on the fourth Doom game."

#

@elder meadow either your license was not consumer, you didn't change out CPU and mobo, or you are lying or mistaken. That or something went wrong

worldly magnet

#

I know that from MY LICENCE

worldly magnet
#

@fair sinew proof

#

“Rage came out, and it wasn't the splash success that everyone hoped it would be,” one source said. “Eventually what kind of came down was, ZeniMax said, ‘Okay, look, we gave you guys a bunch of chances and you guys are having a lot of trouble managing multiple projects, so you guys are gonna have one project: Just do Doom 4.’”

harsh oar
fair sinew
#

You said that zenimax told id to refresh the development

#

it seems zenimax just told them to drop rage and work on Doom 4

#

and it was id themselves that restarted the development

sorry, i meant development process

I like seeing old footage of how they had the maps. Kadingir going from the start into the haste arena, having cyber and other enemies. Foundry with caco and rev. Titan’s realm pic with a bunch of enemies

@tribal rivet to answer your question I’m an Ultra Nightmare switcher

Awesome 🙂 have you cleared it?

I like UN I just don’t have a switch, I play PC

Not yet. I made the mistake of forgetting how much chainsaw fuel kills a summoner

oh no! What map?

Early game is hardest

The level after destroying the filters

Yeah early game is hard, no mods, weapons, upgrades, runs, health, etc

#

Also no gyro. Hate gyro

Argent Energy Tower is how far I made it before dying,
My furthest run was The level first hell level. Stuck on an invisible rock and sent back to mars

Nooooo ouch :/ got any gameplay footage?

I don’t see Switch ultra nightmare on YouTube / twitch

Does anyone have any info on who actually designed the Praetor suit (like which artist or dev) and/or info on the process behind it? Is there a noclip or anything like that?

Wait for doom eternal artbook

lofty pollen
#

I know the 2016 Art Book is going for like $150+ used koma

#

Wow, here it costs 15$

#

30$ max

#

Yup, Russian version in book store is ~1700 rub

#

Art of Doom.

#

Check your book stores, not Amazon, that might help. If there are still copies left

#

But you won't have that problem with Eternal art book, I think it will be available separately from CE and will cost around 30$

rare elk
#

It doesnt come with CE to begin with @hallow prawn

hallow prawn
#

It is

#

Let me check

rare elk
#

Youre thinking the Lore Book

#

The art book is completely seperate

hallow prawn
#

Hm

#

Indeed, mistook them

Also, Art of Doom: Eternal costs 39.9$ on booksamillion

Preorder, ofc

#

Dark horse did pretty well on Doom 2016

#

@lofty pollen also if you don't need hardcover of 2016, digital is still available for 10$ on dark horse web site

lofty pollen
#

Really? Every book store i see has it at $150+

#

Yeah i can get it digital, just not the same lol

hallow prawn
#

Depends on what you need. Ofc I'd buy hc too, but it seems they are not manufactured anymore, hence the price.

#

Don't be late to get Eternal's one while it is 40$

I just ordered it for $35 on amazon.

Its only 20 bucks on steam

oh, I could've sworn it was more at launch

Well at launch yes

Hey speaking of which, I was thinking of picking up one of the first three doom games when I get my pay check, any recommendation you might have for which one I should grab?

Idk how to explain

#

@carmine forge What do you have so far? Only 2016?

carmine forge
#

Yeah, just 2016 At the moment.

pseudo crane
#

@lofty pollen Late reply but the DOOM 2016 design is credited to Hugo Martin in that game's art book, but the book is also very scarce on artwork for the Slayer. It's hard to say how many revisions it went through and how many artists contributed to it before they settled on that design.

I seem to recall Hugo commenting about it before, but don't remember the source unfortunately.

lofty pollen
#

Thanks dude!

#

Much appreciated

#

Do you have the 2016 at book?

burnt badger
#

Well if you get Ultimate DOOM / DOOM II you can either get them on Steam and then use a source port to play (well you can use DOSBox or something, but yeah...), or you can get the 25th anniversary versions on the Beth Launcher which are more limited since they run through their own port. But if you link those with your Slayers Club account you redeem classic skins for Eternal

pseudo crane
#

I do, got it as a Christmas gift 🙂

carmine forge
#

Ah, how would I link them though?

burnt badger
#

There's a link inside the games if you get them through the Beth Launcher. I didn't even have to sign in on mine since my Beth account is the same as my Slayers Club account... not sure if that's usually the case

carmine forge
#

Ah, can they still be linked from steam?

burnt badger
#

No, only the Beth versions unfortunately

carmine forge
#

Damn

burnt badger
#

Well I just installed the "original" Ultimate DOOM version on the Beth launcher and it does actually have the WAD

#

So seems like if you buy the Beth ones you get the best of both worlds

lofty pollen
#

Nice, does it give a lot of behind the scenes info? Lots of good art? I just ordered the Eternal one

burnt badger
#

Since it gave me the updated ones, and the "original" ones

#

@lofty pollen It has some text info, but it's a bit lacking in that regard unfortunately

pseudo crane
#

^ Also some characters (Slayer, Imp) are hugely lacking in art. But besides that I'd say it's worth it.

burnt badger
#

And certain designs (as @pseudo crane mentioned with the suit) have basically one design shown

#

It has a lot of designs for some things though, and it's a really nice, big quality book

lofty pollen
#

Ahhh i want it

#

May have to settle for the digital version. Its wild how different the Eternal suit looks.

It doesnt have that yellow ribbed mesh and the boots are completely different

Anyone own’s doom 2016 ?

#

Anyone play multiplayer on switch?

Have tried to once or twice but the multiplayer isn’t exactly populated

Which is a shame cause it’s kinda neat

Even though the game doesn't run too well on my computer, I'm still having a fun time with the game.

I have doom 2016, but on xbox one. I wouldn’t mind trying the multiplayer tho doomguy_thonk

I have the Switch version, considering getting it on Steam

You should definitely play the multiplayer

#

Super underrated

serene jasper
#

i have it on steam. my pc can't run it so i bought it for my switch

I’m very curious to see how eternal runs/looks on the og Xbox one

daring spade
#

I haven't renewed ns online yet

stark lintel
#

Recent games haven’t looked so hot on it

daring spade
#

Remember how they had to downgrade the graphics of 2016 so the switch's mobile chipset could run it

stark lintel
#

Lol yeah

daring spade
#

I can't imagine what they're gonna have to do to Eternal

stark lintel
#

It’s gonna be interesting to say the least

daring spade
#

Yeah

#

Here's hoping Panic Button does a good

wicked cairn
#

Considering the switch port I say they will

#

Of 2016 that is

stark lintel
#

Facts I heard they’re helping with optimization on the other console versions but I’m not sure if that’s true

languid tide
#

Doom 2016 multiplayer might not be super populated but there's nearly always enough players for a game, I play quite a lot.

stark lintel
#

Does anyone know?

wicked cairn
#

I enjoy 2016 multi. Play it still

#

And i think they are optimizing other ports

Remember the emotes

Those are both ridiculous and amazing

Id play 2016 MP a lot more but my controller has a dead zone when i try to move forward its awful

I don’t think the Switch version of Doom 2016 was that big of a downgrade, coming from someone who played both Switch and PC version in ultra settings. But if you look at Wolfenstein Youngblood on the Switch that is a downgrade, but I’m gridding that’s because there were people doing the Doom Eternal port at the same time.

noble moat
#

Wolfenstein Youngblood is definitely blurry and muddy on switch for sure

#

But 2016, comparing it to other switch games, is actually a pretty nice looking game

elder meadow
#

It is, the only major difference is graphics is that reflections are not on in handheld mode, but they are on in docked.

red onyx
#

I view the Switch for what it is

#

a $300 mobile piece of hardware

#

the only thing close to it is like the $800 GPD WIn 2 in terms of power and spec and size

#

so I don't mind the downgrades at all

#

especially since it's just the game running at PC low settings, really

noble moat
#

Can’t wait for eternal on the switch, thats going to be epic

red onyx
#

I put like 50 hours into Youngblood on Switch

elder meadow
#

Probably 30 hours for me

red onyx
#

I'm waiting for that last patch to come over

#

since I practically 100%'d the game on my first save file

#

I uh

I think the game is a lot better than people online say it is

noble moat
#

As a shooter, it’s definitely a fun game. Anyone who says otherwise is hating to hate. The movement and shooting mechanics are solid. And you get hella weapons. The thing people are mad about is that this wasnt Wolf 3. Because Youngblood mentions a key component of the story skipped that woulda been in Wolf 3

solemn peak
#

There was a big crowd of people who didn't like it because "It's too hard, there's no cover"

red onyx
#

honestly YB is like 300% better than Wolf2

solemn peak
#

When that's the whole point of the game's mechanics

noble moat
#

I also got deluxe edition for $14 so thx to the haters for making the game go on hella sale

#

who complained WYB is too hard? most common complaint I saw was the cringey dialogue.

noble moat

Honestly, they barely even talk

You gotta move, and some reviewers just didn't want to use the playstyle required

noble moat
#

And half the time you wont even hear them over the explosions adn gunfire

red onyx

It's really funny people say the game is too hard and grindy when

A. There's a difficulty setting
B. You become SOOOOO overpowered like 5 hours in

solemn peak
#

Exactly

#

The game gives you the tools to wreck

red onyx
solemn peak

But you gotta figure out the playstyle

I know I had to, I approach most shooters with stealth xd

But once I got the movement down 1-2 levels in, boi
