Its 75 ? I always see 70

noble moat
#

75 if fully charged

#

Most enemies do over 100 later on tho

blissful imp
#

I think zombies does 40/50 when hitting

noble moat
#

60

blissful imp
#

Classic level is so hard in 2016

#

No

#

I think its intentional

#

Like in the level 3 ?

noble moat
#

It won’t spawn hell knights if you back track no

willow orbit
#

You I just got doom 2016 is it good

noble moat
#

If you just got it, play it and find out

blissful imp
#

In level 3 Tho, its a bug ? Because when i'm backtraning it spawn 1/2 hell knight

willow orbit
#

Its downloding

blissful imp
#

Yeah, don't come here now its very spoily

noble moat
#

I think there is some sort of hell knight spawn bug. Because sometimes yeah it appears when I’m about to enter the Fans

willow orbit
#

Ok thx bye

blissful imp
#

Bye

noble moat
#

It actually comes from the area with the Second Collectible

blissful imp
#

Yeah me it happen when you go at the Yellow Door

noble moat
#

Yeah that one

#

Nah u probably just happened to run and it got stuck somewhere

blissful imp
#

There is some level that backtracing is impossible

#

some

#

Yeah

#

I love the lore behind power-up

#

Like the Argent Mega-health, the demonic quad damage etc etc

blissful imp
#

Worst level in doom 2016 is the last

flint dune
#

Last level is the worst I agree

#

Very linear and not in a fun way

buoyant elbow
#

as a 25 year doom veteran.. doom 2016 > eternal

#

eternal was good, but 2016 way better

#

anyone else feel me?

steel crystal
#

Why am I only now noticing the exposed intestines of the Revenant?

elder meadow
#

just felt like this was needed

unborn tapir
#

The Revenant is honestly a joke in the campaign in Doom 2016

#

He’s not very threatening

empty fern
#

Yeah, he doesn't do anything lol

ruby mango
#

@buoyant elbow I'm not a doom vet or anything but yeah, I enjoy 2016 more. I wasn't sure if it was just nostalgia but I can say for certain after replaying a couple of 2016 levels that I had more fun there

#

Also Necropolis is one of my favorite levels. The arenas are smaller but given the relatively low health of the demons in this game it never felt too small for me

empty fern
#

Doom 2016 used to be my favorite game, but Eternal just blew it out of the water for me.

#

@ruby mango Do you know what it is you prefer about 2016? I'm curious.

ruby mango
#

Yeah there are a few things. Your DPS in 2016 is much higher, so demons don't stay on the screen more than a few seconds each. I prefer that to having to deal with stuff like marauder, doom hunter, etc.

#

The movement flows super well, and while dashing is a fun mechanic I actually prefer the simplicity of 2016's elegant movement without a dashing mechanic

#

There are less hitches in the combat (getting stagger-locked by demons in Eternal is super common). I don't have to spend time searching the entire arena for the token enemy that costs 1 chainsaw ammo every 30 seconds

#

There is more but this is already getting kinda long

#

@empty fern

clever geyser
#

unrelated, but i just bought doom 2016 again on digital after loosing the physical copy with pre-order bonuses almost three years ago

empty fern
#

Interesting.
I'm kinda opposite.
I hated the fact that I could pretty much instantly delete most demons in 2016. The more I played the more boring it became as I kept defaulting to the same couple guns and cookie cutter combos.
Yes, I could have played in a more fun way, I suppose, but not really viable on UN lol.
Although I do agree the marauder specifically kills pacing. Love the Doom Hunter tho.
While I appreciate the simplicity of 2016's movement, I just can't go back after getting dash and meathook tbh.
While I do agree that you can get stagger locked in Eternal, it's usually the player's fault (in my experience), and I think it's more a result of the fact that most demons actually present a threat in Eternal, and actively pursue the player, while in 2016 half the roster felt like punching bags.
And the chainsaw thing never bothered me, as I'm constantly glory killing stuff anyways, and it completely solved my issues of repetitive weapon usage with the last game.
I just thought it would be interesting to hear another perspective. Thanks for sharing! @ruby mango

#

(Sorry for text wall)

ruby mango
#

Ah np about text wall. Yea I do miss the meathook ngl. Not dash though. The stagger lock is the player's fault but it's still not a fun mechanic to me. Eternal is way harder no question. Sometimes I prefer the added challenge, sometimes I just like to cakewalk through demons. I have 500 hours in 2016 so I did a lot of cakewalking lol.

#

The things about 2 weapons is something that I never found myself falling into since the most efficient way to kill most heavy demons typically involved 4 guns

#

Weapon switching in 2016 was faster than Eternal and that's something I definitely appreciate when it comes to those quick swaps mid-demon. Made the combat a lot more enjoyable for me whereas in Eternal it can feel slightly clunky and notably delayed

empty fern
#

Is the switching in Eternal slower? I didn't really notice tbh.
And yeah the constant weapon combos in 2016 got really stale for me, of course I got 238 hours in before I really got sick of it lol. There's still plenty of that in Eternal (which is good, I don't want it gone completely), but I feel like there's more options than using these exact few buttons to delete this exact demon every time.
I can say the only things I really miss from 2016 was the faster base movement speed and the bosses (although the Eternal bosses are growing on me).
Also 2016 had balance issues across the board that made me feel like I had to handicap myself to have fun or any challenge at all.

ruby mango
#

I can't not notice how much slower it is in Eternal. Sometimes I'm trying to weapon shuffle and I'm going at my 2016 speed from muscle memory. It literally just stops taking out the guns at some point because it's so far behind.
Balance issues like weapon balance? They did a much better job with Eternal there for sure

clever geyser
#

I’ve never understood the “weapon balance” thing they did, like I thought the point of DOOM was to kill demons in any way you saw fit?

empty fern
#

Balance of everything tbh.
Half the weapon mods were useless.
Campaign continually got easier and easier starting at the first level in hell.
Half the roster of enemies is a joke (lookin' at you, Revenant). One of the most dangerous enemies is imps
A couple runes bordered on being game breaking.
Chainsaw was just a win button that I use on barons so I don't have to pump all my ammo into them. (Also summoners cuz fuck summoners they can die in a fire.)
BFG ammo was handed out like candy on Halloween.

ruby mango
#

None of that really diminished my fun though

#

Especially the runes, assuming you mean Rich Get Richer and Equipment Power. Those are hella fun

empty fern
#

I never used em cuz it felt like a free win (except on my successful UN run cuz I was literally rushing to beat it the night before Eternal came out lmao)

ruby mango
#

I do wish In-Flight Mobility and its equivalent in Eternal Air Control were just the default aerial control option but oh well

#

Tbh nothing more fun than a RGR run for me lol but yeah I get where you're coming from

#

The real game breaking mechanic for me was the DKSMS, even I won't use that. Too strong

empty fern
#

You know what I love about Eternal more than anything tho?
It has cutscenes (which I love btw), but you can skip 'em.
Ya know what ya can't skip in 2016?
Samuel fucking Hayden locking you into a room to talk about argent energy and hell and shit for two straight minutes

ruby mango
#

Oh yeah I don't replay those missions

#

I don't like that some cutscenes in Eternal are unskippable even if short and there are a lot of them, but it's such a minor gripe I honestly don't really care that much

#

My preference for 2016 comes from the combat loop and that's about it

#

The music too but it's like comparing my favorite soundtrack ever to one in my top 5... splitting hairs

empty fern
#

I prefer Eternal's combat, but I really do see what sticks with some people about the simplicity of 2016.
Music tho? I think Eternal kicks 2016's ass. Imo, 2016 had a few standout tracks (which everyone knows the name of lol), but in Eternal it feels like the entire game is the standout track.

ruby mango
#

Eh I can't really see the argument for Eternal's music being better than 2016's. The whole 2016 OST kicks ass and BFG Division and Rip & Tear sit so far above anything in Eternal. It's subjective though so I don't really need to in order to understand that you prefer Eternal's -- and yeah Eternal has a fantastic OST

#

It'll be easier to compare when Mick releases the official OST

empty fern
#

Yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on that sweet soundtrack.
Also I'm gonna get crucified for this but I think BFG Division is a bit overrated.
It's still fucking KILLER tho, don't get me wrong.

#

RIp and tear is definitely the best track from 2016 imo.

ruby mango
#

I don't think you'll be crucified for having an opinion on a song but well it's the internet so maybe

empty fern
#

It's the internet. Opinions aren't allowed lol.
Also, it has nothing to do with the actual soundtrack, but Eternal gets brownie points for being able to play music in the hub and Ripatorium.

ruby mango
#

I enjoyed collecting some of the standout soundtracks from older games too

empty fern
#

Also I never played Doom 3 so I never realized that its theme is such a banger lol

ruby mango
#

If you can't return to 2016 after playing Eternal, you definitely aren't missing out with Doom 3

#

Personally never finished 3, I get scared easy and I wasn't having fun lol

empty fern
#

Yeah, I don't plan on actually playing it unless I play every Doom game or something like that.
Still like the theme tho lol.

crude hinge
#

Doom 3 is very different to the others, it's definitely a game of it's era. It's no fast paced monster basher lol. I loved it when it came out but it's aged pretty badly.

#

That's the problem with a lot of 3d games from early to mid 2000s though I guess

#

I've found Doom 2016 to just be a more coherent 'whole' than eternal is. Its a more linear and joined up game imo.

#

That said, I love eternal as well, and they couldn't have done a lot of what they have done in Eternal without having made and learned from 2016

empty fern
#

2016 was more coherent, but Eternal also did a LOT more.
It's hard NOT to be coherent when your two settings are red and Mars base

crude hinge
#

True true

#

Presentation-wise, it felt like quake 2 / quake 4 had a lovechild with Doom 2016.

#

All the angular / digital style UI elements

spiral axle
#

Fuck assists

elder meadow
#

doom 2016's color palette is red, green, depression, dark red, blood, piss and green

hasty jasper
#

I think both games have its up and downs respectively, 2016 had a problem with platformimg being so repetitive after like the 6th mission, but eternal has some problems on its own

elder meadow
#

^^

hasty jasper
#

I feel like a lot of people can like doom eternal and the same amount can’t, which is crazy to think about

elder meadow
#

eternal would be damn near perfect if there was ammo in the game

hasty jasper
#

Trueeee

elder meadow
#

i personally ADORE both doom 2016 and eternal

#

im rare

hasty jasper
#

I always see myself needing to replenish ammo at like all times

#

Same man

elder meadow
#

it's always bad when there's a heavy enemy that you can't chainsaw and that's the only enemy and you don't have ammo

#

like what are you supposed to do in that situation?

hasty jasper
#

📠

elder meadow
#

flame belch it to death?

hasty jasper
#

Dude I honestly I know what you mean, I would be running out of ammo and I have no other small enemies to chainsaw

elder meadow
#

Wer mag mit mir zocken

#

caps lock

#

doom 2016 has more ammo

hasty jasper
#

I also love how you can connect your slayer account to it, and it seems like it’s gonna add things for being part of the community which is awesome, I hope they add like levels as events or something

elder meadow
#

Who wants to play Doom with me? He writes m

hasty jasper
#

Yeah but some people thought that was a problem for that game

elder meadow
#

which doom?

hasty jasper
#

Doom 2016

elder meadow
#

i assume 2016

hasty jasper
#

Like literally you could spam super shot gun and combat shotgun in that game

elder meadow
#

there was no need to use any other weapon

#

doom eternal is easy, but unfair

#

but i still love it all the way to hell (pun intended)

hasty jasper
#

Idk if I’m bad or cuz I’m using a controller to play on my ps4 but I think it’s a lot harder 💀

#

I think it’s cuz I’m using controller cuz I can do a lot better with mouse and keyboard

elder meadow
#

controller is both easier and harder

#

i play with both depending on how i'm feeling

#

i play destiny 2 on controller exclusively, even though i don't have an xbox

#

or a ps4

hasty jasper
#

Yeah I know, I feel like mobility with controller is a lot better but my aim is wack when I wanna kill a spider boi

elder meadow
#

those weak point showcases make it look easy

hasty jasper
#

Exactly

#

But I like the challenge

elder meadow
#

in practice you're both moving at a very high speed

hasty jasper
#

Yeah, also I have a problem with not knowing where the hell im at when I’m at like 20 health

#

My screen is so red and all blurry so ligit blind

elder meadow
#

really doesn't help that my computer is terrible and runs the game at 20 fps

#

on a good day

hasty jasper
#

Yeah lol, I remember at the beginning of the game It was a hard transition from 2016 to eternal cuz I was expecting to beable to fight in close combat but when you do you get messed up bad

#

Also punching does almost nothing, when before on 2016 you just need two punches on an imp to make him stagger

elder meadow
#

you don't feel quite as unstoppable in eternal

#

but i still like it

hasty jasper
#

Yeah I know

#

I wish I can play it on hardcore mode(the hard mode of the game) but I’m so bad I gotta go to hurt me plenty just to play and I still dye 😭

elder meadow
#

"the mighty doom slayer"
running around like a headless chicken trying to find bullets while 7 pinkies are chasing the fuck out of you

hasty jasper
#

Facts 💀

elder meadow
#

when you do get ammo tho

#

ass kicking commences

hasty jasper
#

Yeah it’s so good when you actually clap cheeks in doom eternal it’s very satisfying

#

I just don’t like when people are really ragging on eternal from 2016 POV, when I booted up the game I instantly knew it’s not gonna be the same as the old game

elder meadow
#

it has changed, and mostly for the better

hasty jasper
#

Yeah try

#

True*

blissful imp
#

I'm addicted to doom 2016 mp since i know that i can play with other regions

#

With 0 lag

elder meadow
#

I just noticed the unwilling have two eye sockets while the possessed have only one glarethink

#

Kinda odd considering the unwilling are more fucked than the possessed

blissful imp
#

The possessed in low poly have 2 eye

#

I saw this in Switch ver. I was too fast and i glory killed a Possesed and i see 2 low poly eye

elder meadow
#

Bruh

flint dune
#

Little late to the conversation, but in my opinion the main problem with Eternal is how disconnected it feels from 2016, they don’t feel or look the same to be completely honest. It’s not really a problem I have with it, but I can see where a lot of the hate for Eternal is coming from. I would have preferred it to stay a little more simple like 2016, that’s really my only suggestion.

west spade
#

doomguy_shock the complexity is great tho

flint dune
#

I’m not saying it’s bad at all, I love the “complex” combat loop Eternal has, hell I prefer Eternal over 2016. Basically the Developers wanted to make sure the game didn’t get too repetitive so they added in a lot of undercooked ideas like the buff totems and purple sludge.
Those things aren’t needed in a game like Doom, I like that 2016 didn’t do that and I just wish Eternal didn’t either. That’s all I’m saying. Complexity is great but only to a certain degree, Eternal just adds too many ideas with not the best execution.

#

Including some platform puzzles and shootable buttons, I get its supposed to be sort of like Doom 2/64 with that but it just doesn’t fit imo (sorry for the block of text)

elder meadow
#

is there a single room where they put more than 7 enemies at you at once in 2016

noble moat
#

Almost every?

flint dune
#

Yes...like even the first arena throws about 15 imps at you lol

stiff pagoda
#

Its "missing 2016 mancubus design" hours rn

spiral axle
#

Is there a mp mode without demons

turbid ore
#

I don’t really like DOOM ETERNAL and I prefer DOOM especially because the Possesed are now zombies and aren’t two hits with melee you now have to shoot them with the shotgun and where is the dang pistol with infinite ammo

#

but the story is good so I’m going to stick it out

robust sedge
#

tbh i hated that you could even upgrade the pistol, i'm glad they give you a chainsaw with a recharge, i just wish they kept the siphon grenade, that thing saved my life during boss fights

turbid ore
#

What did the siphon grenade even do because personally I never used it I did as the game instructs and Shoot it till it dies

robust sedge
#

it drained health and restored your health so you could throw it at a group of enemies and get a free 50 health without risking getting close

turbid ore
#

Never used it

lyric fulcrum
#

Use Siphon and the upgraded equipment room and you also get armor

#

I love both games I wish they added traditional tdm on DOOM ETERNAL

elder meadow
#

i used mostly syphon and it helped a lot mid nightmare run

lyric fulcrum
#

Gonna replay 2016 when I have more space

elder meadow
#

it really is a big filedoomguy_shock

lyric fulcrum
#

I play on Playstation. But I have like 20 other games installed. Might just delete some. I miss snapmaps and mp. Those modes were highly underrated.

elder meadow
#

me too(ps), i bought an external ssd of 1TB, it helps

#

all my doom games on it

#

snap map and mp really are underrated, they have improved so much too

#

i prefer 2016's mp over battlemode

lyric fulcrum
#

Battlemode is good in it's own right. But making snapmaps and playing them was. The cards seemed stacked against DOOM 2016. Idk why the media was biased against it.

karmic flax
#

It’s really sad how much undeserved hate snapmap got

#

Wasn’t perfect but people were absurd

lyric fulcrum
#

It was really fun with the maps people put out, I wish I gotten better at making maps.

karmic flax
#

Ye same

#

I haven't found many good snapmaps, I keep running into ones where they disable health on glory kills, take away my chainsaw, and throw me in a room with at least 15 mancubi

I wish I was exaggerating

gloomy mantle
#

I'm open to suggestions of good snapmaps I just haven't found yet, haven't spent a huge amount of time looking so far

modern marsh
#

anyone want to run sum multiplayer I just got doom 2016

elder meadow
#

modern marsh
#

ok add me at TheGodlyNoodle on steam

elder meadow
#

but i advise you to play the campaign before playing multuplayer

#

at least get to hell or sth

#

the campaign explains a lot

modern marsh
#

I played some of the campaign back when the game first came out on switch

gray mason
#

Anyone playing doom 2016 on switch online? Can never find a single match since the 8 months that I've got it

blissful imp
#

Grundy are you European ?

gray mason
#

Yes

blissful imp
#

Hah, like me, play on American server

#

There are ~20/30 player in the afternoon

gray mason
#

@blissful imp how change?

blissful imp
#

Because i see nobody on switch, as a european

gray mason
#

@blissful imp how can I change to USA server?

blissful imp
#

When you are in Multiplayer menu, push Y i think

#

Or X

gray mason
#

@blissful imp thanks its the X. Looking for match now

blissful imp
#

If you had good connection its not very laggy

#

Have*

gray mason
#

@blissful imp it didn't find any match

blissful imp
#

Hmmm

gray mason
#

Also I deffinetly don't have a good intrnet

blissful imp
#

Hah

#

Weird, maybe its because its the debut of the week

#

I can assure you, yesterday i have played with people

gray mason
#

Yeah I don't know. Will try again some other time or later today. Thanks though :)

blissful imp
#

Maybe you will see me

#

Yeah there is nobody today

limpid salmon
#

Anyone wanna play

modern marsh
#

@limpid salmon I want to add me at TheGodlyNoodle

#

@limpid salmon what do you play on

blissful imp
#

I'm Playing Nightmare like the old doom, nothing but Hud and classic aim (no reticule)

robust sedge
#

Who plays this game on switch?

#

This game is way better on console or pc

noble moat
#

I play on switch

#

If you want to get technical, obviously the game plays better on PC,

However I have no issues beating nightmare handheld at 30fps

blissful imp
#

Yeah, on switch it is very playable

#

Even the Multiplayer

noble moat
#

My only suggestion however is don’t buy it on switch

#

It’s $60
But for $60 you can buy eternal on switch,

#

Same price, but upgraded in every way, only thing is we still have to wait for eternal

blissful imp
#

Yeah

#

hey guys, i have a problem with my doom savestate on steam

#

so i just played the first two missions and closed the game as it is supposed to be done. when i came back later and wanted to continue, the game told me that the savestate is damaged. so i started the story all over again and it happened again. anyone know how to fix this problem ? i actually dont want to always have to replay the whole thing

blissful imp
#

I don't know

#

Is maybe your Pc

modern marsh
#

#

I just got the game last night

spiral thunder
#

still way to much for me tho

#

finally installed

#

So uhhh

#

Its essentially softlocked my pc i cant do shit

#

I assume the main menu is in engine

#

And the fps is so horrendous i cant do anything

#

I didnt know it would be this fucking bad

blissful imp
#

Woah

spiral thunder
#

Im gonna have to fucking reboot my pc

#

Cool

#

forget lowering the settings

#

Cant get to the settings if the game fucking dies in the menu

#

how do i change the resolution outside of the game

#

does the game have launch options

blissful imp
#

NVIDIA ?

spiral thunder
#

no

blissful imp
#

Hah

#

Idk so

spiral thunder
#

think the shittiest pc ever

#

thats like just a monitor

#

and the pc is in the monitor

#

blissful imp
#

I see

spiral thunder
#

Managed to lower the resolution

#

Still holding my pc hostage, just gotta wait for the cursor to move

#

Hwo do i change the aspect ratio to 4:3

blissful imp
#

Idk, i'm not on Pc version, i think it is on Game or Video settings

spiral thunder
#

So even at the lowest resolution possible it still fucking dies

#

Neat

#

Welp guess im never playing this game because i literally cant

blissful imp
#

Console version ?

spiral thunder
#

pc

#

oh wiat you mean try console

#

nah dont have ps4 or xbox

elder meadow
#

I think you should be able to change it in the resolution part of the settings app? Not too sure

blissful imp
#

I love the MP maps, even if you are a noob you can easily travel in

blissful imp
#

I hope when DE switch release, people plays more mp

noble moat
#

The Battlemode for sure

#

The issue is the cost of online, few Nintendo users will pay for online

#

Yes it’s “only $20”
But that’s $20 more than we’ve been spending for the last 6+ years

#

I found an Easter egg while playing doom and thought It was pretty neat

In the youtube videos of the music, there had been a Doot Renevant as an easter egg.

#

And now, in Doom Eternal, it was a skin.

#

Was the ost for E2M1 reimagined in doom 2016?

blissful imp
#

A lots of Original Ost is in Doom 2016, so maybe yes

copper zodiac
#

Yeah if you listen carefully almost every song has been remixed in

#

Usually in tempo beats but some or more obvious

elder meadow
#

So regarding PS4 trophies, can you do the Multiplayer ones in private matches? Also is that games Multiplayer active enough to ply the MP for trophy cleanup?

I swear one of the combat songs is reminiscent of Untitled from Doom 1. (E2M9 & E3M1)

@elder meadow I readed in someplaces that Private don't count, but today, i saw the completionist and he did it with help, which i presume, he must have done on a private game. But now, i really don't know, i know that is near impossible to do, the gold medal in a "find a match". Because is the same "green 50" and they can shoot you in the moment you show your face haha It's Xaero on Quake 3 all over again haha

elder meadow
#

@late crescent Danke. And what’s the green 50

#

Anyone confirm pvt lobby does or doesn’t count?

@elder meadow The tag, i don't remember, i think it's call echelons

is it just me or does doom 2016 feel so slow now

Yes. But i don't know for sure, i reared some people talking that they "start" another Run, and they were low lvl, lower -then me-. But away faster then some "green"'s hehe

Playing Eternal for a long time now i came to the conclusion that i like 2016 better
Eternal is a solid and fun af game but i still prefer 2016

flint dune
#

Fair. I lean more towards Eternal, but I’m mostly torn between both. They’re both great games in their respective ways, though I think Eternal has more flaws than 2016 which is weird because I still seem to have a lot of fun with it.

empty fern
#

I think the thing is Eternal has more flaws because it's so much more ambitious.
Like, in hindsight 2016 played it pretty safe. Kept it simple.
And 2016 definitely still has its issues.
||Why don't you step into my office so I can spew exposition about it||

elder meadow
#

I can't play 2016 after Eternal

#

I just can't, it feels wrong

#

Where's my tools, where's my dash?

minor talon
#

I get tht but the more gritty style and still extremely fun gameplay of '16 brings me back to it. Eternal is my favorite video game of all time tho

elder meadow
#

Heh.
laughs in very obscure game being my favorite

elder meadow
#

I love all the doom games, 2016 included but yeah eternal is still my fav by far

elder meadow
#

I thought I loved 2016 but I can't go back to it anymore. The levels seem so dull to me now, I can't pick one to play because they feel like a chore. With eternal, I can't pick one to play because I loved them all sooo much.
To be fair, maybe I played 2016 waaayyy to much and burned myself out. Eternal still feels fresh and varied

thick heart
#

i've been on 2016 more cause i made the mistake of getting eternal on console and i'm more comfortable playing games on laptop

blazing pivot
#

try playing 2016 on console lol

noble moat
#

Easy

#

I play 2016 on a switch handheld no gyro. Beaten nightmare many times no issues

spark tundra
#

I pretty much got burnt out by Eternal at this point

noble moat
#

It’s been like 2 weeks

spark tundra
#

I played it almost everyday for 2 weeks now

#

Will replay it again once the outbreak is over and i get my new pc parts

cyan spire
#

So, I tried the Arcade Mode because i realized i was talking about it yesterday on another server and i hadn't actually played it.

elder meadow
#

does it feel like a NewGame+ mode or is it more than that

cyan spire
#

It's not NG+.

#

The only thing i can really say about it is playing it doesn't really feel like playing Doom. To get any decent amount of points there are a lot of times where you kinda just have to herd the demons together so you can kill them all really quickly. Also, the burst fire on the shotgun is practically mandatory

#

I feel like how quickly you're killing demons and getting through the level isn't really that big of a factor in this, and it really should be.

blissful imp
#

Its more like a "kill and run" mode

cyan spire
#

not really

#

I'd say playing Doom regularly is more like that than Arcade Mode is.

#

like seriously look at any world record score run on Arcade mode, they're all really slow, and i appreciate that there's effort being put into this, it just seems like a really irritating way to play the game.

noble moat
#

Actually most of those world records are hacked

cyan spire
#

I don't think the ones that actually have videos are hacked

#

Like this Titan's Realm run.

#

granted this is XB1, i think

noble moat
#

Ah that probably explains it

cyan spire
#

at least i don't think it was.

#

Also, if someone could explain to me why he's shooting holograms so much in this, i'd like to know

#

oh no wait that's not even the run i was thinking of

#

same level tho

#

but yeah if someone can tell me why he's shooting holograms so much in this i'd like to know

blissful imp
#

Maybe because Hologram is considered as a "enemy" in Arcade mode

#

Idk

cyan spire
#

I feel like having the multiplier go up based on damage and not actually killing things was a mistake

noble moat
#

Finally made it the farthest I’ve ever done on a UN run

#

Beat Kadinger Sanctum

blissful imp
#

Kadingir sactum is pain

noble moat
#

Man your telling me

#

That’s the farthest I’ve gotten to on every run I’ve done so far

#

On switch btw

blissful imp
#

Woah

#

I can even pass the UAC on UN

noble moat
#

I forgot which level I get the siphon grenades at, but that’s when My run finally becomes a victory though, since siphon grenades OP

noble moat
#

Lazarus labs just googled it,

blissful imp
#

I always get in necropolis, i wonder why

#

Lazarus labs is just after Argent Facility (Destroyed)

#

Good luck for pinkies

noble moat
#

Dam that’s 2 levels away

#

Oh I’m taking no risks this time, Imma stun bomb every pink first screw that

#

I won’t be using rich get richer rune tho

blissful imp
#

Pinkies when they hit you ? Its ~90hp i think ?

noble moat
#

Something like that yeah, and sometimes they can bite right after for like another 50 or something

blissful imp
#

And Lazarus Labs is a two in one Level

#

I think Baron do like, ~100 per Flame balls ?

noble moat
#

They evillll

#

I’m taking no chances with them either, siege stun rocket spam all the way

blissful imp
#

BFG in two levels

noble moat
#

I don’t like using the BFG, but Imma have to accept that I need it at certain parts

blissful imp
#

BFG with More ammo is so cool, you can litteraly shot one time and get 2 BFG ammo

#

Most Stressful part is boss maybe, or do the BFG bug

#

Work on switch but it is very bad

thorn whale
#

I just finished d2016 after doom eternal, I really liked it as well

#

The difference in playstyle/weapon choice is pretty fun

#

I especially liked the gaus cannon's siege mode, felt strong aswell

#

The campaign is way shorter compared to eternals' right?

blissful imp
#

Yeah

#

I never played Eternal, but i hear it was shorter

thorn whale
#

Do you plan on playing eternal in the future?

blissful imp
#

Yeah

#

When the Switch version come out

thorn whale
#

Alrighty

spiral axle
#

Do you have any other console?

noble moat
#

Eternal is longer than 2016

#

2016 was 10-11 hours
Eternal is 15-16 roughly

blissful imp
#

And the same amount of map i think

noble moat
#

Eternal also has the future dlc and more master levels to consider too
Yeah same maps, longer maps

thorn whale
#

On secondary playthroughs the ratio is even larger I think

blissful imp
#

Yeah, Eternal with downloadable campaign but, on nintendo switch, how we can do that lol, ththat will cost a lots of space

latent linden
#

Hey I’m having a weird issue with a level if someone could help me out it’d be appreciated

blissful imp
#

?

#

What is your issues ?

noble moat
#

You do realize plenty of switch games have dlc right?

latent linden
#

I figured it out lol was just a weird glitch

half talon
#

Never mind that Eternal is SMALLER than 2016 - which is already on Switch.

noble moat
#

Doom on switch is 22gb I believe

#

So eternal is easily 18-20gb

#

And each DLC can’t be more than 1-2 gb each on there

noble moat
#

Destroyed argent facility is a much smaller map than I remembered

#

That’s it I quit,

#

The first 5 levels of 2016 just are not fun to play

#

It takes too long to get fun to constantly try these UN runs

#

I really hope eternal starts out fun right away,

elder meadow
#

Is there a way I can disguise myself as a demon and get the Doomslayer to come to my house

cyan spire
#

If Doom Eternal gets an Arcade Mode, can the score multiplier PLEASE be based on actually killing things and not just dealing damage? Like, I feel like player speed and accuracy should’ve been factors in 2016’s Arcade Mode, but they weren’t.

#

I realize I’m talking about that in the 2016 chat but dammit most of my complaining about Arcade is in here already.

I played d2016 after deternal, first playthrough on NM, I died twice on the last mission by clipping through the floor during berserk lol, hopefully that won't happen on UN

d2016 definitely feels a bit more unstable compared to eternal, but I really liked it as well

Its not just you

Pretty sure the Armor in eternal is because in 2 yeah he had changed

doom 2016 does not detect any graphics card so i can't play

DOOM 2016 does not run on my shitty pc so i cant play

#

How do I avoid the barrage, the slicey thing on the ground and the laser beam from the cyberdemon all at once on nightmare

#

It was one shot away from dying three times before killing me

#

You know what, how do I avoid the laser beam regardless of whether there's a barrage or not

#

It locks on to me and I can't avoid it

flint dune
#

It predicts your strafe pattern. You can avoid it by changing direction right before it fires.

elder meadow
#

Imma try doing that

noble moat
#

Also you can do artificial Gauss dashing

#

Bunny hop left or right and shoot the gauss in the opposite jumping direction, will let you go far and avoid his charge and his lazer

elder meadow
#

Every time I try to do this with the gauss I get myself killed tacodemon

Best mod

ruby stratus
#

bruh wtf barons one shot

#

100 health and dead

noble moat
#

It’s called Nightmare for a reason

worldly magnet
#

wait till you get to the final boss

#

insta kill with 200+ health

vagrant cave
#

I mean imps can oneshot you from full health at the start of the game

flint dune
#

Hah, what about CyberDemon’s laser. Legit 1 shot on Nightmare with 200 HP or at least nearly

ruby stratus
#

ik i havent played 2016 in a long ass time

flint dune
#

I’ve burned myself out on it

half talon
#

There are a lot of attacks in Nightmare that exceed the insta-kill limit.

ruby stratus
#

eternal is so much forgiving

flint dune
#

It really is. You’ll notice when you’re super low you typically have 5 HP, I think it’s intended. In Eternal

half talon
#

Basically the game's equivalent of a Magic Pixel.

flint dune
#

2016 was like nope, you’re dead, start over

hollow warren
#

I enjoyed 2016. Id get it again but wish theyre was some unlocks for Eternal from it

ruby stratus
#

enemies one shot you hella more in 2016, mobility is really inferior, you can only find armor off pickups

#

and splash damage is way more noticable

#

but it compensates for ammo and more bfg ammo

noble moat
#

Imps can’t one shot you from start of game, but they can get close

ruby stratus
#

45 health

noble moat
#

A fully charged imp ball does 75
You start with 100

vagrant cave
#

pretty sure you can't be oneshot from high health in eternal unless the game bugs out

ruby stratus
#

if you do thes alot of ways to get health back not from just staggering an imp or zombie

#

compared to 2016

vagrant cave
#

also didn't know charged balls did 75, probably got clipped by something else right before those times then

ruby stratus
#

i thought it was 45 damn wtf

noble moat
#

Nah fully charged is 75
I think the tiny ones do 45

flint dune
#

I think you’re right. You can’t get one shot in Eternal with Full Hp, you automatically get set to 5

vagrant cave
#

I have seen DraQu get instantly blown up for 110 once, tho

#

but from experience it looks like that shouldn't happen

flint dune
#

Yeah, because every time I’m low in Eternal, I’m 5 Hp

#

2016 really had no safety bars, you screw up you’d pay for it

ruby stratus
#

i honestly like the gameplay better in eternal but environments n stuff goes to 2016 and the traversing

#

since eternal has mario like obstacles and 2016s obstacles are actually blended into the envronment

#

but gameplay is somewhat more challenging on a balanced level in eternal instead of the game being like ha fuck you when you make one mistake

flint dune
#

^ Agreed, although I think the environments are gorgeous. It’s just the interior level design that’s bland to me

ruby stratus
#

so i have more respect for people who beat ultra nightmare in 2016 then eternal

flint dune
#

Eternal seems less gritty which is what I don’t like. That’s the main problem for me

ruby stratus
#

eternals aesthetics are beautiful dont get me wrong but i think hell looks better in 2016 and the pickups are forced to be arcade like

#

although i like the throwback to classics

#

i just wish they combined the demon looks from every game

#

so 2016 mancubus you can also see a doom 2 mancubus

flint dune
#

That’d be interesting

ruby stratus
#

theres this one mod called META Doom for the classic that combines every good aspect from 1-2016

flint dune
#

The only demon designs I prefer in 2016 are the Revenant and Baron

ruby stratus
#

yeah true

flint dune
#

Also that’s cool, I’ll have to check that out

ruby stratus
#

but the barons are different lore wisse also

#

so with the hell knightss the gladiator bossfight is the hellknight from doom 1

flint dune
#

Yeah. I just wish the Fire things on the Barons for Eternal were actually used. Like what’s the point?

ruby stratus
#

idk i feel like im complaining too much with 2016 because of how spoiled i am with eternals polishing

#

like everything they did right with 2016 they made so much better and more fast paced

flint dune
#

I think they’re both amazing games. Eternal gameplay over 2016’s, but 2016 beats Eternal in tone, Boss fights and aesthetics

ruby stratus
#

but with 2016 now i feel like im just going on autopilot playing the game

#

bossfights are a joke in both games lol

flint dune
#

True lol

ruby stratus
#

weapon switching dksmb melts all of them

flint dune
#

Cyberdemon and Gladiator are really fun though, for me at least

ruby stratus
#

Yeah those are fun

flint dune
#

I wish I could weapon switch a lot but I’m on console sadly

ruby stratus

Does anyone remember that trip monitor in the train area? I can't remember which mission it was, but it was a screen with the date and time of 5 trips

The first 3 where doom 1,2,3 with the date having something similar to the actual years they were released in

#

And the 4th one was doom 2016, the last one didn't show the full date but it was implied that it's doom 5 (eternal)

#

Just wanted to see that pic again. Anyone has it?

Yeah, a Speedrunner said that if the game wont let you go in the second level, you wont.

Look like they tought you have cheated

Yeah

#

Hah, what did you use ?

#

Its was intended to be a mod than a "illegal"tool ?

#

Pretty sure there is a """Legal""" mod for that

#

Or Maybe its normal ? To prevent mod on MP

#

just like Minecraft Bedrock when you activate cheats

#

And To prevent easy way to get achievement

#

Idk

elder meadow
#

it's because mods require the devmode to be on, and devmode does this stuff

#

there was a bypass iirc, to make your campaign saves work normally

#

never mind, it's not a bypass it just tells you that if you want to access achievements, multiplayer, and snapmap then you have to turn off devmode and remove your mods

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer.

I hope Panic Buttons is doing a God and Good job for DE switch, Doom 2016 switch is so good

noble moat
#

And remember 2016 was never intended for such a weak console

#

Which is what makes that port so special

#

Eternal is being developed for the switch this time, so I’m expecting better graphics, better stability, etc

#

Not to mention id Tech 7 is much more optimized too

blissful imp
#

Yeah

#

Weird exemple but Fortnite was not intented to be that good port, they put so much work in it that apparently its the best Port now

#

Yeah, ID Tech7 without megatexture

Maybe no Blur in Eternal ?

Do you think Eternal Before Summer ?

Before summer no

I do expect an announcement by June however as to release date

Look pretty Accurate

sour plover
#

Doom 2016 > Eternal

#

It’s a lot harder in the beginning on nightmare tho

flint dune
#

I can see why you think that. Eternal gets better the more you play in my opinion but had a lot more issues with it than 2016.

#

Eternal was overhyped though, 2016 was sort of an underdog, so less expectation

sour plover
#

Imps on nightmare are bruuuutal lol

flint dune
#

Imps are assholes in 2016

#

They end so many UN runs lol

tiny sandal
#

If I ever get back to 2016, the relative lack of mobility will piss me off

noble moat
#

To prepare for eternal I’m doing a “eternal run” in 2016

gloomy mantle
#

eternal makes you realize how unfun the platforming in 2016 is

noble moat
#

By “eternal run” I mean I’m not upgrading ammo at all so I have no ammo

#

Also no ammo buffing runes,
No rich get richer of course
And no saving throw

soft crest
#

platforming in 2016 was such a different time, but I think its not that hard to get back in it. The biggest annoynce to me is the F-E melee change. Completelly confuses me in both games

noble moat
#

No shit?- to amnesia

soft crest
#

there is a competition like this

noble moat
#

1: From what I’ve seen eternal Gives you still HP and shield upgrades
2: eternal gives you tons of new ways and more ways to gain hp and shields back that 2016 doesn’t

soft crest
#

UN no upgrade

noble moat
#

3: I only play Nightmare

soft crest
#

well you can,

noble moat
#

I’m not going for a challenge, I’m going to prepare for eternal,

soft crest
#

@noble moat but you should do UN to keep yourself busy while waiting for the Switch port

noble moat
#

I have been trying UN runs,

#

My issue is the first 5 levels of 2016 are not fun

#

I’ve had to restart a few times now, but it’s not fun playing the first half of 2016

soft crest
#

I always die the first level, the only thing I wanna do is the UAC for the achievemnt and then just see how long can I get

noble moat
#

The latter half of 2016 is when it gets fun, tons of demons everywhere, huge groups, hordes, interesting environments, all weapons fun times

#

The imps and their speedy fireball is bullshet imo

#

It does like 45-50 on nightmare, and is super hard to dodge, now try dodging like 5 of those at once,

#

I’ve lost 4 runs in Kadinger sanctum purely due to those stupid Instaballs

#

I am 100% fine dying to demons, usually means I made bad mistakes or didn’t kill fast enough, but I hate being cheesed by imps

tiny sandal
#

I rebound the keys in Eternal so they were closer to 2016

noble moat
#

Siege if used properly kills pretty much most enemies in one hit

#

Can kill multiple enemies at once,

#

And 2-3 shots the biggest of enemies,

#

It’s the fact that if you line it up correctly with 2-3 shots you can clear an entire arena worth of demons including barons mancubus etc

noble moat
#

It’s pretty easy to line shit up if you know what you are doing

#

Quick thinking, fast calculations,

#

If I double jump at this angle by jumping off of etc I can have a fully charged siege to kill xyz

#

I remember someone in a video mentioned that doom 2016 is just mindless shooting but that couldn’t be further than the truth

#

If you want to be a good doom player, you have to be thinking about everything at once,

#

Ammo check
Speaking of ammo only 2 chainsaw can’t kill big guys ok
Grenade 50% charged no safety net,
Shotgun grenade launcher reloading I should switch to plasma to stagger this imp to my right and heat blast the 4 to my left,

Caco coming in better lock on rpg him while I have a moment to breath,

Whoops hellknight too close lemme artificial gauss dash and shoot him with it at same time

Grenade ready lemmme toss on wall to hit knight and soldier

#

And all that thinking only occurs in maybe 10-20 seconds of gameplay

#

The good thing is the game has lower difficulties

#

I never bash anyone for lower difficulty play. They were added for a reason

#

If people enjoy the game, that’s all that matters, because games are meant for fun.

#

Like sure I personally only play Nightmare, but that’s only because I find it the most fun, not to 1- up anyone

#

If I wanted to try to 1-up people I’d just say I play Doom on a switch nightmare and no gyro handheld ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Now there are 6 of them and more coming

elder meadow
#

Yeah too much for me

noble moat
#

It’s funny, I used to be terrified of blood

lyric bloom
#

what games do you play then?

elder meadow
#

Who? Me?

lyric bloom
#

Yea

elder meadow
#

Depends tbh. Recently it’s either been doom or animal crossing. I was playing a lot of minecraft for a bit but not much aside from that. I’ve been more of a reader lately

lyric bloom
#

Ah

noble moat
#

Finally another person that reads

elder meadow
#

I’m also limited to my Switch so games that I’m actually interested in are either way out of my price range or not on Switch

lyric bloom
#

Well gun go pew pew is fun and thats all doom is really :|

noble moat
#

A dying art I’m afraid, but a good book does wonders

elder meadow
#

Doom is a whole bucket of fun and Hayden radiates the biggest disappointed dad energy

noble moat
#

Doom is my favorite franchise, I’m so happy the switch will have every doom on it

elder meadow
#

I’ll definitely be getting eternal the moment it comes out for Switch

noble moat
#

Favorite fps franchise*

Favorite rpg franchise is Monster hunter

elder meadow
#

Monhun is great

noble moat
#

I’m also only limited to a switch, so I was lucky that dooms came to it

elder meadow
#

For the longest time I was deciding if I wanted to get doom, cursed dice or commission an art piece

lyric bloom
#

What

noble moat
#

XD that’s a selection for sure

#

so what made you pick doom

elder meadow
#

The need for a new game mostly lol

noble moat
#

Need me a new game too =/ out of all the disappointments this year, I think my biggest has to be that Pokemon mystery dungeon got remastered

#

^needs a bit of an explanation

elder meadow
#

Yeah I got that one too. Haven’t progressed very far

noble moat
#

So here’s me being all sad doom eternal not coming nov 22nd. Dam gotta wait for switch release.
Now here is March, they announced the remaster of my favorite game of all time. And it’s entire artstyle is Concept art of the old game

#

I can only maybe afford 1 game a year, and I was saving for eternal since 2019.

#

So I have to choose between the remaster of my favorite game of all time, or the latest entry in my favorite fps game of all time

elder meadow
#

I don’t mind the art style but the way it plays is just grossly clunky

noble moat
#

And doom wins =/

#

I played the demo, still plays pretty much like the one from 15 years ago

#

Some stuff was changed a bit, some stuff streamlined others not

elder meadow
#

imo if you’re remastering a game you need to do more than slap a fresh coat of paint on it but that’s just me

noble moat
#

You do realize that is pretty much what a remaster is right?

#

90% of a remaster is just changing or buffing the artstyle. Maybe a few new features, a little less loading screens, but that’s pretty much it

elder meadow
#

It really shouldn’t have the same issues as the original imo. Mystery dungeon is just clunky and not fun to play. A good remaster should improve gameplay as well but bank on nostalgia for a quick cash grab

#

But again I’m not a huge fan of the mystery dungeon games or anything Pokémon anymore

carmine bluff
#

double xp when?!?

astral marlin
#

Is the doomblade only in doom eternal
I cant find any information about it on the internet at all

blissful imp
#

Only on Doom 2016

#

You can just punch with your weapon

#

@noble moat youre playing Rage1? One of my best moments was when I started the MutantBashTV mission, and then realized I have like three bullets in my pistol and one in my sniper. It made the game so incredibly intense having use the environmentals to my advantage and fighting the mutants with my fists. I also had a couple wingsticks, but I completelly forgot I did. But at least I had something to kill the boss with.

#

I felt like a badass after finishing the mission

#

there is something so incredibly satisfying doing something against all odds. I think that after I finish Eternal, Ill try to do a grenade only run, or a ability only run in Rage2. Or better Ill finally finish Rage. Been stuck in the second act too long.

noble moat
#

It’s definitely a fun game that’s for sure,

#

I haven’t gone far, maybe only first 3 hours

soft crest
#

the story isnt that good, but I liked the atmosphere

#

where do you play it? Im pretty sure its not on Switch

#

one thing Ireally like about the game is that you just cant simply mistake a screenshot from it with some other game

@peak goblet talk about a splitting headache

And rage 1

#

hey how often does doom 2016 go on sale?

noble moat
#

🤷‍♂️ about as often and most games I assume

#

I mean I’m pretty sure new it’s like $20 for all platforms except switch

red coyote
#

i have 6 dollars in my team account waiting for it to go on sale

#

steam

noble moat
#

Well GL waiting for a 90% sale, I assume the steam summer sale might have something

red coyote
#

#

Hello! I like to do The UAC Arcade Mode on Ultra nightmare. But I do not know what load out or method is best. Please help if possible 🙇‍♂️

golden cosmos
#

Is that the first level?

#

You only get the Combat Shotgun. So use pop rockets and holodukes. Easy compared to non-arcade.

gentle sable
#

Is multiplayer dead on this game? Wanna get it on ps4

golden cosmos
#

It's not quite dead yet on PC?

thick heart
#

i did a good

#

i got the toe into madness achievement

#

i am proud of self

#

Not the biggest achievement ever but I'm proud nonetheless

golden cosmos
#

Proud of you! First two levels are the hardest IMHO.

thick heart
#

i've been doing a nightmare campaign run to practice

#

at argent tower on that one rn

#

kinda irritated that i didn't get the achievement for all runes when i have all runes

golden cosmos
#

Best tips for early game are Heat Blast+Expanded threshold and Super Heated Rounds, then master Remote Det. on level 3. (or at least as much as you can)

distant acorn
#

I'm still waiting for doom 2016 to download on my xbox one.

This game is addictive lmao

oak escarp
#

Was it ever awnsered how doomguy escaped being sealed back up at the end of 2016 and is free in eternal

distant acorn
#

He's a demon slayer he can't be trapped forever

misty shadow
#

Cause he‘s badass and just rip and teared that aura

oak escarp
#

I Just imagine him smashing it open

distant acorn
#

Pretty much, yea

oak escarp
#

But yea didn't know if it was revied in eternals lore or not

#

Through the pages

distant acorn
#

I just got into doom so I wouldn't know lmao

misty shadow
#

Amazing seeing new fans coming to Doom

distant acorn
#

:)

#

Yea, I want to get doom enternal when I've done everything I can in doom 2016

halcyon charm
#

Hey quick question. What are the red canisters in doom? Is it a type of ammo for a weapon I dont have?

distant acorn
#

I think they are barrels?

thick heart
#

shoot it does it explode

halcyon charm
#

No they dont explode

thick heart
#

like gas canister?

#

that's the only other red thing i know

noble moat
#

Yeah the only red things in doom are
Gas
Barrels
Blood

thick heart
#

if it's a gas canister that's chainsaw

noble moat
#

And only one is collectible

thick heart
#

that no count

noble moat
#

Siphon grenades

thick heart
#

oh that's a siphon grenade pickup

soft crest
#

I play it on 360 @soft crest
@noble moat thats cool, completelly forgot its not this gen

noble moat
#

Yeah I’m stuck in the past ;-;
Except for the switch

halcyon charm
#

Ahhh thanks for the help guys 😄

thick heart
#

yeah np

noble moat
#

Siphon grenades + maxed out Equipment rune is op

thick heart
#

nightmare is going surprisingly smoothly for me

#

i got to argent tower in eh, 3 hrs

distant acorn
#

You must be a champ then

thick heart
#

i don't feel like one but thanks lmao

noble moat
#

The one where you get the jump boot right?

thick heart
#

ye

distant acorn
#

Lmao, I only feel power when I play video games

noble moat
#

You do any secret hunting in the last 4 levels or nah?

thick heart
#

i've 100%ed every level thus far too

#

yeah

distant acorn
#

N I C E

noble moat
#

Nice, 3 hours is about right

soft crest
#

I completelly missed pretty much anything in Argent Tower. Intentionally, but because of that I didnt get SSG till Nekropolis/Tiatns Realm and I didnt even know there were grenade types. I intentionally tried to ignore secret hunting since that almost made me quit when playing the 1st and 2nd level. I wanna get it all, but it ruins the experience for me

thick heart
#

i got all runes in UV file but no achievement

distant acorn
#

I played this game for 8 hours straight once.

noble moat
#

Takes me about 2.5-3hours when I do that too

thick heart
#

kinda bruh

distant acorn
#

Lmao Quarantine got me fucked up

thick heart
#

i still do online school so i don't have such time

noble moat
#

I once made it halfway through the game on UN in one sitting thanks to the Quarantine

thick heart
#

i do 5 pushups every death by routine and only did 20 like bruh

distant acorn
#

Graduated last year

thick heart
#

i need my exercise stop being good, me

distant acorn
#

And I work a morning shift. So I got time lmao

soft crest
#

wow, but cant say I didnt play for at least 6 hours in quarantine, I kind of always hope that my eyes wont be hurt by that

noble moat
#

soft crest
#

@noble moat how can you play without gyro, thats like the only reason I ever hit something

thick heart
#

damn

distant acorn
#

@thick heart

It's Agent Biglet. Lmao

thick heart
#

distant acorn

You do work fast

thick heart
#

s p e e d

#

my first ever UN run and i got the uac done

#

soft crest
#

Welll, Slayer IS SPEED

distant acorn
#

Gotta go fast

thick heart
#

i had like 100 hrs on ps4, 60 on switch, idk like 40 on xbox, and only 16 on pc

#

all with 2016

distant acorn
#

God damn

thick heart
#

i might try doom Virtual Fucking Reality

#

v f r

soft crest
#

@thick heart there are A LOT of Doom games,like it may even take you your whole quarantine to get through it

distant acorn
#

I mean we have nothing better to do

thick heart
#

the only ones i haven't played is 3 and Vr so

#

and i've played a few major wads

#

Plutonia, Evilution, you know, the works

#

h d o o m

soft crest
#

Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Master Levels for Doom 2, Final Doom, Doom 3, Doom3 on rails shooter mobile tie in, DoomRPG, DoomRPG2, Doom 2016, DoomVFR, Doom Eternal. All those are Doom games

distant acorn
#

Jesus.

thick heart
#

i haven't gone into rpgs either ig

distant acorn
#

That sounds like a lot to chew.

thick heart
#

i'd send a pic of what i have on pc

#

i have eternal on xbox

soft crest
#

you could also say Wolfenstein 3D, RPG, and Spear of Destiny are Doom game since they are so similar and also connected

thick heart
#

eh i've played a lot of wolf

#

missed out on SoD though

distant acorn
#

I just have doom 2016. I wanted to see if I actually would like the game..

Now I'm obsessed

soft crest
#

I think weve been having a discussion about this with Royal Hawks a couple weeks ago. Which ended up connecting all games ever made to Doom

#

And pretty much everything that exists really

thick heart
#

i have every one of the old doom installations except for the doom before ultimate, i just got ultimate

#

because i want thy flesh consumed dammit

#

lmao

soft crest
#

But if you just want to do things with DOOM on it, then also the Doom novels, comic, board game, and Rage franchise (all three) since Im 99% the mutans here have demon origin

#

oh right, the Slayer is also in Champions. Making that a necessity to. And since BJ is there too, do all Machine games Wolf games.

#

right and the Skyrim and Fallout easter egg

thick heart
#

i've found the eggs,

#

played every wolf i can find

#

played rage one, i think 2 is on game pass

soft crest
#

you own vr?

thick heart
#

i have a psvr

soft crest
#

that mobile tie in game would be pain to play now

#

*rage

halcyon charm
#

?

#

What is the red down at the bottom?

#

Next to the BFG ammo

thick heart
#

chainsaw ammo

#

@halcyon charm

halcyon charm
#

Thx m8

thick heart
#

np

#

@halcyon charm what's ur steam friend code

halcyon charm
#

I'll dm it to you

#

@thick heart

thick heart
#

ight

noble moat
#

@soft crest it’s funny, with gyro I can’t hit a dam thing XD

distant acorn
#

I spent 11 bucks on soundtrack that came with a game.

sour plover
#

lol maybe im a baby, but doom 2016 is so much scarier than eternal lol

soft crest
#

@sour plover no, it is, but the devs got rid of it in Eternal since this is a powerfantasy, not a horror game. But I agree it kind of takes the really interesting confilict of scared and prepared. Like, it kind of requires you to become a fucking Doomguy to be be the Slayer demons fear. Eternal makes you the Doom Slayer no matter what.

mystic seal
#

why when i play doom 2016 it says no graphics card is detectedcacocringe

empty fern
#

I don't remember 2016 ever being scary tbh.

sour plover
#

the sounds of the possesed really creep me out

#

its super loud and shit lol

distant acorn
#

It's not that scary

#

Lmao, I just hear the badass music tbh

elder meadow
#

@soft crest i feel the opposite, 2016 allows you to power fantasy around for free while eternal forces you to earn that fantasy

austere topaz
#

i never noticed that there's a hint of the classic doom door sound effect in the doors of doom 2016

elder elm
#

did anyone know that half life was inspired by doom?

austere topaz
#

really?

#

if thats true, awesome, but def doesnt surprise me

#

i can rlly see it

noble moat
#

A yeah 2016 was never meant to be scary and horror, you are a 1 man army demon killing machine, it would be weird if the game made you have a power fantasy and feel scared at the same time

#

Doom 3 on the other hand is supposed to remind you that you are just a random marine who was sent to find a scientist, not face the force of hell

austere topaz
#

imo the demons looked a bit scarier in doom 2016

#

while they look much cooler in eternal

misty shadow
#

Doom 3 WAS pantshittingly scary, in theory that is. The gameplay is too easy and you quickly realize that these Demons are your everyday weaklings.

austere topaz
#

doom 3 was def kinda pantshittingly scary tho. the demons look fuckin spooky as hell

misty shadow
#

Not at all

burnt badger
#

Yeah they throw a bit of classic door sound in, it's cool

misty shadow
#

Yea well using the flashlight made you kinda vulnerable but apart from that, you demolish these demons a way or another.

austere topaz
#

i never said they werent easy to kill

misty shadow
#

I know

austere topaz
#

i said by design they look literally more terrifying than every other demon in ever other doom

#

i mean have you seen those lost souls

misty shadow
#

the pinkies look retarted lmao

austere topaz
#

the pinkies arent every demon

#

pinkies always look retarted /s

misty shadow
#

Okay I'll admit, the lost souls had my attention at first when I saw them.

austere topaz
#

pinkies arent ever scary imo, but one of my fav demons in terms of looks

misty shadow
#

Pinky T H I C C

burnt badger
#

I kinda like 3 pinkies. But 3 Cacodemons... what are those spooky

misty shadow
#

lmao

#

they looked like meatballs

austere topaz
#

doom 2016 alpha cacodemons looked pretty spooky imo

#

doom 2016's alpha just looked like it had much less color imo

burnt badger
#

Also 2016 enemies aren't meant to be scary really, but I find some of them imposing, I mean the Baron is pretty big and ugly

steel crystal
#

The Hell Guardians were pretty easy on Nightmare mode... Maybe because I actually knew that you can stun them by shooting their powerup attack...

austere topaz
#

doom eternal barons look sick as hell

misty shadow
#

Also 2016 enemies aren't meant to be scary really, but I find some of them imposing, I mean the Baron is pretty big and ugly
@burnt badger As they should, they're literall roadblockers

austere topaz
#

they got that bioshock 1 upgraded plasmid effect going on around their eyes

burnt badger
#

And Hell Knights are pretty imposing, one of the designs I liked from 3 that got reworked

steel crystal
#

The two Barons of Hell at the first half of Necropolis were jerks

#

More than once have one landed on me from above and insta kill me.

#

Also does death by gravity count in Ultra Nightmare?

misty shadow
#

any death

steel crystal
#

Whelp

#

Not a chance

austere topaz
#

yeah nightmare can be a total fucker lmao

steel crystal
#

....

#

Kitty

misty shadow
#

how was that message not removed

austere topaz
#

im laughing so much rn lmao

steel crystal
#

I miss my kitty

austere topaz
#

is this ur cat?

steel crystal
#

Yeah

austere topaz
#

i love your kitty

misty shadow
steel crystal
#

Princess

#

She got really sick this year

austere topaz
#

god damn i just fucking love cats so much

#

omg im so sorry

steel crystal
#

Had her for about 14 years

austere topaz
#

fuck 2020

misty shadow
#

fuck 2020
@austere topaz It's gonna get worse than this. Hopefully not though

austere topaz
#

i'm very sorry for your kitty @steel crystal . she's resting good right now, i know it.

misty shadow
#

Could you imagine in the future the schools teaching the children about 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and just skipping 2020

burnt badger
#

Oh damn we got a proper slayer symbol in here, I've been looking for one for ages.

austere topaz
#

losing a pet is the fucking worst.

elder meadow
#

😕

burnt badger
#

There's a high res one on the slayers club, but it's yellow and doesn't have the four outer symbols

soft crest
#

@soft crest i feel the opposite, 2016 allows you to power fantasy around for free while eternal forces you to earn that fantasy
@elder meadow depends on what you mean, setting wise not really, 2016 was much more horrorish, gameplay wise - thats a weird one since the game starts out strong , but as it progresses it requires you to adapt and become the SLayer. So its: Well yes, but actually no.

golden cosmos
#

You lost me.

austere topaz
#

lmao i love that animation when the revenant kills you in 2016

#

he takes your arms off then just gives you a lil slap or 2.

#

...with your own severed arms

#

so doom-y

austere topaz
#

holy shit possessed soldiers in 2016 on nightmare are such little fuckers.

thick heart
#

Yeah what I end up doing is shotgun grenade them or get close and hope for a stagger @austere topaz

austere topaz
#

for gauss cannon, whats better - siege or precision?

thick heart
#

Depends

#

Siege, you HAVE to know when to use and when not to in nightmare

austere topaz
#

cant you ssg+gauss in 2016, like in eternal

thick heart
#

And precision is pretty decent if enemy's far off or you have an opening

#

Yeah, but I prefer ssg + rocket cause rocket isn't slow in 2016

austere topaz
#

so what would they both be best for? siege and precision

thick heart
#

Siege is good for yeeting heavy bois and precision is good for mid sized like caco and hell knight

#

That's how I use them

mystic seal
#

why when i play doom 2016 it says no graphics card detected'

thick heart
#

I'm no expert but that's how I play

mystic seal
#

why when i play doom 2016 it says no graphics card detected

thick heart
#

My steam does that with random games idk but it's irritating
