lego Doomguy with Super Shotgun

[hard horizon]

looks more like a plasma rifle to me

(double-barreled plasma rifle? :P)

[calm kelp]

Super Plasma Rifle

Oh imagine the power.

[gritty oasis]

I've played coop doomII. There are very few situations where double plasma is worthwhile

[hard horizon]

it stunlocks a lot, that's probably the main appeal

[gritty oasis]

Yeah, I remember double chainguns on the extra spider in I think level 12. Double plasma would be even more ridiculous

[fallow crystal]

i hit level 250 in Doom Eternal today

oh apparently this is the highest level

[fallow crystal]

ooooh

when you level up again it brings you back down to level one but you get a star

[calm kelp]

I just love DOOM Eternal’s progression system.

You level up just by playing any mode. Campaign? Sure. Battlemode? Sure. Horde? Sure.

Basically, the more you play, the more cool stuff you’ll earn.

[gritty oasis]

I like if a game has a levelup system if it's accessible in every game mode, rather than like "you only level up if you play PvP"

[hard horizon]

Trackmania 2020's points work like that too

[calm kelp]

I also like to mention that just by replaying missions you also get points.

i wish the axe in Quake I was more useful cuz iirc it's supposed to be the legendary weapon that the Quake Ranger uses but it does so little damage 😔

[hard horizon]

Mjolnir does what Axedon't

(play the mission packs :P)

it needs cell ammo to work, but it's pretty ridiculous

[fallow crystal]

i forgot how slippery Quake is haha

[calm kelp]

Quake 64 is great so far.

[solid patio]

You can't blame me for not seeing a thread that hasn't been touched in a month

[fallow crystal]

hooray

[solid patio]

Movement is very solid in this one

Feels like classic
Or at least what I remember classic being like

[fallow crystal]

yeap

super duper fast lol

[solid patio]

But I can jump now

[fallow crystal]

but now you can ju

yeah !

[solid patio]

There's a rock with a sidgil on it

Do I shoot it

[fallow crystal]

is it floating ?

[solid patio]

No

[fallow crystal]

then nah

or

[solid patio]

Also why am I happy to see that I need a blue key

[fallow crystal]

maybe idk it's been a hot minute since i played 2016

lol

[solid patio]

It's a stone pillar shooting out of the ground with a glowing red sidgil on both sides at about waist level

[fallow crystal]

can you take a picture

[solid patio]

The sidgil is within a wide groove on the face of the stone

Unless I need to sacrifice shells, shooting hasn't worked

[fallow crystal]

oh nah that's just decoration

[solid patio]

Ah

I see lil Doomguy

But how do I get to him

Got him

[fallow crystal]

hooray !

[solid patio]

I know there's a glory kill where you rip out a cacodemons eye

But is there one that puts the caca in cacodemon

[fallow crystal]

um

no

[pallid mango]

Ah, did we secure another convert?

Remember the golden rules, Melody:

"purchase upgrade?"
[Punches robot and steals it]

[solid patio]

Man I've been playing DooM for a while

This is just my first time into a non classic DooM

(I'm pretending doom3 wasn't a thing)

[fallow crystal]

as we all do

[solid patio]

How open door

Punch and shoot not work

[fallow crystal]

press in right stick

am out of ideas

find a switch maybe

[solid patio]

Uh
Yanis is one right?

[fallow crystal]

bad

[solid patio]

Don't see any switches

There's a vent but it's too high to reach

[fallow crystal]

hmmm

what door

[solid patio]

Early game

Looks like a classic DooM door

[fallow crystal]

oh yes

[solid patio]

Map shows it leading to a room that's almost square, but with cut corners and a closet

[fallow crystal]

you need to find a lever

it sticks out of the ground

[hard horizon]

first lever is under a small underpass in a corner

[solid patio]

I don't even see an underpass on the map unless you mean further into the level

[hard horizon]

near the 2 automated pumps in an outdoor area, there is a U-turn

in the U-turn's pole, you can go below the barriers

[solid patio]

Ok yeah I found the underpass
Just didn't show up on the map ig

Where you find the data log right

I was looking in the wrong place and also the lever blends into everything else

So I guess now I know what they look like, and I know to look carefully

Near by

Found another classicguy

E1M1 achievement unlocked

I accidentally found a secret by jumping at the right time

Found another lever, all on my own this time

[fallow crystal]

yippee !

[solid patio]

Oh shit chainsaw

Wait where'd it go

[fallow crystal]

you have to press a button to bring it up

ummm

x is i think where it is on xbox

wait what button is on the left

[solid patio]

X

I just pulled up the tutorial

[fallow crystal]

yippee

[solid patio]

First death

Environmental

Got hit full force by something in the vents I didn't see

Full health and armor couldn't save me, I was instantly gibbed

[solid patio]

Swcond

Can I just say I really don't like that you can't adjust the force of your jumps in the slightest

[fallow crystal]

oh yeah

that's a support rune later

[hard horizon]

some FPSes let you adjust your jump height à la Super Mario, by holding down the jump button

Deus Ex: Human Revolution does this, for instance

[solid patio]

So what's the difference between instant load and speedy recovery on the explosive shot?

Oh wait nevermind

Brian slow

Plasma rifle obtained

Appearantly that was a secret, and not the way out of this place

Heavy assault rifle, too

I have one question
Are there any secrets that require you to go back to previous levels after getting some specific upgrade

[solid patio]

You get this for beating the first fucking level...

[gritty oasis]

lotta people get games and don't play them

[solid patio]

Nearly half of all people who have DOOM never played it?

[gritty oasis]

or in some games, half of people who own it never played the single player

[solid patio]

Based on fist level achievements

My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure has a higher rate of owners playing than Red Dead Redemption 2

Maretime Bay Adventure also has a significantly higher rate of achievement completion (the rarest achievement for MTB is 33% while the rarest for RDR2 is less than 0.1%)

[hard horizon]

MTB is also a very short game, RDR2 is 100+ hours for 100% completion (even the main story is like, 70 hours?)

[solid patio]

Actually 100% completion isn't the rarest RDR2 achievement somehow

100%ing the game is done by 0.28% of gamers

It's getting all gold metals in every story mission that's the rarest, at 0.05%

The second rarest achievement, worth only 5 G has only been completed by 0.08%, and asks the player to survive getting mauled by 18 different bears, that you're expected to then kill
How is that only worth 5G, Rockstar?

[fallow crystal]

no

[solid patio]

Yeah I was stuck trying to get to a secret because I thought the exit was the entrance to the secret

I thought I needed the jetpack but I found my way in by not being an idiot

It was the secret in E1M2 where there's a locked room with an armor pack and an elite guard

[hard horizon]

did you find the Dopefish?

[fallow crystal]

apparently some Bethesda design documents were leaked and a game titled "Doom Year Zero" was on there

wonder what it means

mind, it's 3 years old and was made before the Microsoft buyout so things could have changed

[solid patio]

These were during the buyout and are Microsoft documents

[fallow crystal]

ooo

[solid patio]

But they're still 3 years old and some of the projects didn't come to pass by their fiscal years

We were supposed to get oblivion remastered last year

[fallow crystal]

man Year Zero is such a cool name

OH OH OH

wait

maybe

it's a prequel to 2016 and we play as Doomguy when he lived on Sentinel Prime

[calm kelp]

could be a direct continuation to 64

we may even get to see more of Doomguy’s “perpetual torment”

[solid patio]

One must imagine the doomsayer happy

[calm kelp]

He deserves a happy conclusion after everything he went through.

Dude has spent his life going to Hell and back

[fallow crystal]

behold i own all the DOOM games

(excluding Doom RPGs and Doom VFR)

[calm kelp]

Ditto, but only minus VFR.

I have both RPGs thanks to the fan made native ports.

[fallow crystal]

oh sick

are they any good ?

i know the story is actually pretty close to the Doom Bible which is cool

[marble arch]

why do people hate doom eternal?

[calm kelp]

Just Twitterians spreading discourse for the game.

This happened to DOOM 3.

[silent pilot]

Different people have varying opinions on things

[hard horizon]

Doom Eternal has a lot more questionable elements than 2016

platforming sections, strict ammo in a fast-paced FPS, perhaps too much fanservice

Marauder 🙂

[hard horizon]

in short, while there might be more to like in Eternal, there's also a lot more things that players may dislike

(this reminds me a bit of the Wolfenstein TNO vs Wolfenstein 2 situation)

[calm kelp]

Today people have started to hate on Eternal, while back then they made fun of “game journos” who could not play the game well.

[fallow crystal]

Doom Eternal best game ever

i found this funny reference in Doom 2016 today

[silent pilot]

I kinda love the strict ammo and platforming

[fallow crystal]

same !

[marble arch]

I like doom 3 because its a slower survivel horror game with no jumpscares

I like all doom games

But for different reasons

[calm kelp]

This too! (on Eternal)

Pinky Pies…that term should of course ring a bell.

[fallow crystal]

LOL that's so funny

the textures in the Switch version are pretty low res. i can read the magazines and stuff but the stuff on Doomguy's desktop is unreadable 😔

[fallow crystal]

why does the chaingun in 2016 suck so much :(

[hard horizon]

I find it quite good but remember, classic Doom chaingun isn't amazing either

[fallow crystal]

i just don't like now it has to wind up

[calm kelp]

As it was in Doom 3.

However D3 still has a faster windup time.

[calm kelp]

DOOMritos

(Pic from the DOOM server)

[fallow crystal]

[solid patio]

Rip and tear open the bag

[hard horizon]

eating them gives you partial invisibility

[silent pilot]

Fromage

[calm kelp]

It’ll also give you strength, and help you on your journey.

||If you can withstand the power surge.||

[fallow crystal]

idk how people hate the platforming in Eternal when in 2016 it's far worse imo

anyway i finished 2016 again :3

[solid patio]

Is it cus I was playing it?

[fallow crystal]

yeas

[calm kelp]

That jump in the Argent Tower, man…

Had to tell a friend how I can make that jump.

[fallow crystal]

i wonder who this fela is

[solid patio]

John

[fallow crystal]

the worst feeling in the entire fucking world is only missing 2 collectibles

[calm kelp]

One of them is located at a blink and you will miss it secret that you’ll have to jump into. Took me many tries.

It’s that collectible in Taras Nabad.

[fallow crystal]

omg is it the one where you have to jump down that big tunnel and have to smash the wall while youre falling ??

[calm kelp]

Yeah.

Had to use a slow motion rune.

[viscid bluff]

grabbed doom 2016 on PC, looking forward to playing through to where I was on PS4 and hopefully finishing the game ^_^

Mouse +KB feels so different to controller, that's for sure

[hard horizon]

enjoy 🙂

remember to use the machinegun's tiny rockets and the Rich Gets Richer perk at the same time. 😛

(and gauss cannon in Siege Mode)

[pallid mango]

Or just use the Super Shotgun at all times in all situations. It's one of those "every problem looks like a nail" situations, except in this case every problem is a nail, and the Super Shotgun is a hammer made out of depleted uranium.

Either way, have fun!

Oh, and welcome back, Reina.

[gritty oasis]

like 80% of DooMII is like that. SSG except when you have a specific reason to use smth else

[viscid bluff]

aye thanks!

[solid patio]

I once heard someone say "with DooM, it's all about knowing what the right tool for the job is. And the answer is always the Super Shotgun"

[gritty oasis]

now, tbf, part of that is SSG has the most plentiful ammo in most levels.

Like a lot of levels I play will have 10+ boxes of shells and 50+ packs of shells, as well as a couple dozen shotgun guys. They might have a bulk cell and a couple regular cells, and maybe a couple boxes of rockets and 5 loose rockets. Might also have 10 boxes of bullets. So (not counting possible chainsaw/fist moments or infighting) you probably use SSG 75% of the time, chaingun 15%, and rockets/plasma/bfg combined 10%.

[fallow crystal]

do you rocket duel the Cyberdemon or something else

[gritty oasis]

rockets are underpowered vs cyberdemons because they don't take the explosive splash

[fallow crystal]

yes

[gritty oasis]

Over the course of Whispers of Satan I use:
24x crushing ceilings (there's a cheese level so this kinda doesn't count)
7x plasma
4x bfg
2x SSG
1x each telefrag, berserk, infight-a-spiderdemon

Pure talent

[calm kelp]

More computers should have DOOM pre-installed.

[gritty oasis]

that's a serious computer for 1994

probably ran around $2k for the base model

[hard horizon]

people say modern PCs are expensive, but 90s pricing was ridiculous when you account for inflation considering how quick they were obsoleted

also, the screenshot author clearly used IDKFA

[gritty oasis]

my dad paid $5000 in the late 1980s for a high-end PC (... a 386 DX-20.) He was a programmer (senior software engineer / DBA)

[hard horizon]

a top-tier 1989 PC was unusable in 2000, but a top-tier 2012 PC is perfectly usable for a lot of tasks in 2023

[gritty oasis]

yeah, Moore's Law really did give out (mostly).

Maybe just water? Or even holy water? Considering on how they can be found even in hellish areas.

Or something yummy?

[solid patio]

Well it tastes like an IRL health bonus

It's just Dr Pepper in a blue bottle

[fallow crystal]

does Doomguy have to go to the dentist

[silent pilot]

If you don't know, then I don't think any of us can answer that question

[fallow crystal]

like the Divinity Machine gave him his godlike powers so i'd assume it gave him good dental hygeine

[silent pilot]

For his sake I'd hope so

wake up there's a new FlexiHUD mod!!

FlexiHUD is a universal, highly flexible HUD mod for GZDoom, written entirely in ZScript. Not only can you see all the usual information and a lot more, but you can also MOVE every single element!

https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=78361

(the screenshot above is my personal layout, but the default is quite good too)

more minimal variant with only HUD bars and red flash on damage removed

[fallow crystal]

why is Blood Swamps in TAG 1 such a slog

like UAC Atlantica and The Holt are awesome levels

but then Blood Swamps

[viscid bluff]

what makes it so much a slog?

[fallow crystal]

idk !

just like

the aesthetic and it's really long

and the boss fight at the end is kinda lame

[viscid bluff]

ah yeah

[fallow crystal]

and there's this one bit where you have to follow your wolf friend and if you aren't in his aura you take damage

Congratulations! You have beaten Doot Eternal!

[fallow crystal]

did you like the Icon of Sin fight

[hard horizon]

yes

it's challenging but I only died once

the late game actually feels easier than the early game, maybe due to all the upgrades you get over time

the "get out of jail free card" tools like grenades, blood punch and flame belch are also available a lot more often thanks to these upgrades, and of course the BFG

[fallow crystal]

yee

[calm kelp]

You can stack up Extra Lives that will decrease your chance of dying.

But yeah the Icon is challenging.

Some rare DOOM stuff: here’s actors of MK3 promoting the PlayStation version of DOOM (imo the best version) in E3 1995.

Probably the closest we can have of having a Mortal Kombat x DOOM crossover.

[pallid mango]

Honestly, who knows? In the past, Netherrealm has managed to get:

• The Joker
• Robo-Cop
• The Terminator
• Kratos
• Jason Voorhees
• A Xenomorph
  among others. A Doom Slayer appearance would certainly be surprising, but it genuinely might not be incredibly far-fetched.

[calm kelp]

We can only hope, but he would definitely fit right in.

E3 2019 is now the last time any DOOM game had been shown on the convention.

Its first appearance was on the convention’s first year in 1995 for the PlayStation release.

E3 is gone now. Thankfully we still have Xbox/Bethesda Showcase and QuakeCon as mediums for id to reveal what’s next for DOOM.

Oh and the Game Awards, too, which Bethesda has used to announce Blade.

[hard horizon]

they should use a .plan file on FTP to announce the next Doom

I became a fan of DOOM when the world was in the dark times, during 2020, and by the next year I already had almost every installment of the series, including Eternal. To me, DOOM really helped me escape from the grim of the pandemic and my life. I once caught the damned virus and all I did was just to relax and play DOOM II, that memory of going through The Chasm while I lost my sense of smell still resides in my memory. After grieving over my grandpa’s passing in 2021, DOOM Eternal slayed away all that sadness from me. On a more positive side, DOOM also got me interested in pixel art and later anything retro tech.
Thank you John Romero and Carmack for starting this one Hell of an amazing franchise, and to everyone else at id Software throughout decades for continuing and honoring the legacy. Happy 30 years of ripping and tearing. KAR EN TUK!

And here’s to 30 more. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for DOOM.

2016 and Eternal has a Hell of a lore.

Might be enough material for a TV series.

[viscid bluff]

fair enough

[calm kelp]

It could first show the backstory of the Doomguy or the Slayer, from his first day enlisted as a Marine, all the way to his refusal against his commander's order leading to the events of DOOM 1.

I wonder which tool they used to make blockouts

I get strong Radiant/TrenchBroom vibes

[calm kelp]

Love on how they use 1993 assets as placeholders.

I wonder if they started developing Eternal not long after they shipped 2016.

I mean, in 2018, the game was already shown to be in early playable form so it’s possible Eternal could have started development sometime in 2017.

[hard horizon]

sequels are sometimes developed before the first game is even finished

GTA Vice City is a common example of this, it was in early phases of development before GTA III went gold

[fallow crystal]

what's your guys' favorite glory kill

my favorite is the behind arachnotron one where you flip it over

[silent pilot]

Impossible to pick a favorite, but I always loved the berserk powerup one where you rip an imp's skull in half with your hands

[fallow crystal]

that's a good one

[hard horizon]

the ones you do airborne on cacodemons, because it's fun to chain them

[undone iron]

I love pulling out a cacodemons eye and putting it inside their mouth

Also when you literally just rip everyone in half in 2 peices with that powerup

[fallow crystal]

oh yeah

i really like the Pain Elemental one where you stop it's eye in

[undone iron]

Oh yeah

https://youtu.be/PoQ5K4xIFys?si=1ILVqVVp6JRgPYqU

[pallid mango]

My personal favorite is the one where the Slayer punches a gargoyle in the face and subsequently cuts it in half diagonally.

The hits look powerful, the animation is crisp, and the pacing is great. Magnifique.

[undone iron]

I love the perk that makes the glory kills faster too

Makes it all seems so powerful

[fallow crystal]

that's a good one, i also like the gargoyle one where he uses the gargoyles own arm blade to slice it's head in half

so many good ones

i hope Dark Ages has good ones too

[calm kelp]

Thoughts on the rumored DOOM: The Dark Ages?

[fallow crystal]

exciting

can't stop thinking about it

[calm kelp]

We might probably see a return to the 2016 or even 3 pacing; the game director said that the next DOOM will play like a monster truck.

[fallow crystal]

oh yeah he did say that

[calm kelp]

And it’s gonna be medieval based? Can’t say it will be the first time Doom goes medieval (heck we even got several medieval-themed id games that plays like Doom, you know what I’m referring) but it better be amazing.

[fallow crystal]

im hoping for more melee weapons

crucible was badass but i didn't really like how it had 3 charages and was an instant kill

hammer was really cool though but kind of made the chainsaw obsolete with how much ammo you could get from hammer

4 days till the xbox showcase !

[calm kelp]

I think the next Doom game should continue the tradition of being analogous to the classics.

[fallow crystal]

hell yeah Doom 64 time

[calm kelp]

Hopefully we’ll get to encounter Mother Demon?

Not to mention I believe some Doom 64 levels have that medieval Quake feel.

[undone iron]

I would rather it keep the classic doom feel

Fast paced

[fallow crystal]

Doom 64 has so many dark castles and shit it's rad

DARK AGES LOOKS SO GOOD AND ITS NEXT YEAR

https://youtu.be/4tk8lkmYGWQ?feature=shared

gameplay looks slower paced than Eternal, which makes sense considering Hugo Martin said he wanted the next Doom game for the player to feel like a monster truck

AND it looks like it has a bunch of melee focus

fuck im excited

[calm kelp]

Looks like we are returning to the 1993/2016 pacing.

Hell yeah to the max

[fallow crystal]

im excited to see Sentinel Prime at it's peak

ALSO

we can finally pilot the bigass mechs

[calm kelp]

As it’s a prequel of 2016, we can safely assume it will take place DIRECTLY after Doom 64.

[fallow crystal]

im gonna be thinking about the skull shard machine gun for a long time

[hard horizon]

I will be honest, Bethesda calling it being inspired by Doom 1993 is a bit dishonest 😛
I'm seeing a lot of Doom Eternal 2 (or Doom 2016 3)

probably "wait a few years and buy on sale" for me, I expect it'll run great and look great at least (as id always did)

I haven't played the Doom Eternal DLCs yet, I didn't get the drive to do so

[fallow crystal]

jfc Taras Nabad master level is intense

[vapid bay]

We are so back

[calm kelp]

They’re probably referring to the pacing.

Hugo Martin’s comment related to it is also a hint. It’s not gonna be as fast paced as Eternal, which means it’s probably going back to the pacing of 2016 and the original 1993 game.

But honestly, yes, I see more Quake than Doom.

Whatever it is, it’s gonna be so awesome.

[hard horizon]

Doom 2016 and later have always been a bit of Quake, they literally have a Quad Damage powerup that makes a similar sound as in Quake

I think it's one way to say "sorry" to the Quake fans 😛

Doom 2016 also had a hidden cvar to enable Quake-style bunnyhopping in multiplayer

[calm kelp]

At that time the trailer was only out for 24 hours, but the DOOM community has already done demakes of the Shield Saw, the Mancubus and the Duke 3D Octabrain-resembling monster, in the classic pixel art glory.

The DOOM community is as fast as Doomguy’s speed.

[hard horizon]

I've gotten most of the achievements already, the 8-consecutive-map-UV-par-time one is hard to do legit though

Doom's episode 1 is the easiest place to do it, it has no difficulty spikes like Doom 2/Plutonia/TNT's initial maps would

I did an attempt yesterday but died on E1M7. I suggest looking up speedrun videos of UV speed runs, try to follow their route, but remember you can't do the yellow key skip on E1M4 because you can't SR50 in this port

Basically Quake's equivalent of gmDoom (where it puts Doom's weapons, assets and stuff like the HUD to Garry's Mod)

Ponkis do you know an app for PC that would let me edit videos more precise than the button in app called "Movies and TV" thats always on Windows?

[viscid bluff]

let me have a look, i think i had a free program from somewhere

[silent pilot]

You could pirate adobe premier pro, or maybe try kdenlive

[viscid bluff]

ah yeah, i think the one i used ( i switched comps so i don't have it installed atm) is this one

https://lwks.com/

It has a free option,

it's got less features than the paid option, but it should do the job for basic video editing IIRC

wait @true basin why did you post this here to the Doom channel?

[silent pilot]

Because using Windows "movies and tv" to edit video elicits a sense of doom

[true basin]

Oh Im sorry sorry

I was thinking its science and tech channel but I didn't look and was looking here because I was thinking to ask if anyone played Quake because I only played Doom so I think I made a mistake

[viscid bluff]

that's ok haha

[true basin]

Have you played Quake?

yeah! i used to play a lot of Quake

Played a lot of Quake 2 when i was younger, then tried Q3 and a bit of q4 for the singleplayer

Haven't played it much recently apart from a brief time with Quake Champions, which doesn't feel quite right sometimes

You've done it. The mother of all demons have been defeated.

[fallow crystal]

i just remembered that Dark Ages comes out this year ☃️☃️☃️

[viscid bluff]

oooh Hype

[hard horizon]

I still need to play the Eternal DLCs

[fallow crystal]

they're pretty good

[true basin]

I still have to finish Doom 2016 and later learn why people love Eternal so much

[turbid shadow]

Eternal is great. I should play it again

[hard horizon]

2016 is more streamlined, I probably like its gameplay more than Eternal overall

[fallow crystal]

i just realized the new Doom trilogy follows the Evil Dead trilogy pretty well
Doom 2016 is fairly dark but not without it's comedic moments
Eternal is way goofier and over the top
Dark Ages has the protagonist back in medieval times as a kingly figure

[turbid shadow]

Peak is back

[fallow crystal]

true

[fallow crystal]

xbox developer direct on january 23 at noon CST, with information about Dark Ages

[calm kelp]

NVIDIA also previously gave us exclusive few seconds of new TDA footage.

[calm kelp]

We’re witnessing a new 2004

It helps that The Dark Ages is also looking to be, well, dark in contrast to Eternal.

[fallow crystal]

oh shit fr ? anything we didn't know about ?

[calm kelp]

https://youtu.be/O50imo09gvs?feature=shared

Original video they’re from: https://youtu.be/M3fglmDxD2U?feature=shared

[fallow crystal]

i hope this can run on Steam Deck, it looks a little more graphically intensive compared to Eternal but id has always been good about optimization

[calm kelp]

All the DLSS stuff is most likely optional.

It should run well on a Deck.

[fallow crystal]

Bobby Prince really made the Icon of Sin boss theme way too scary lmao

the whistle really freaks me out

[hard horizon]

woo woo wee woo

[heavy oar]

And then the boss is just THE. WALL.

[calm kelp]

[fallow crystal]

just remembered this and got excited lol

[fallow crystal]

this is so funny

[true basin]

There is a rumor Doom Dark Ages will be released on ||May 15, 2025||

[fallow crystal]

oooh

[calm kelp]

I want id to take their best time though.

But it can't be denied that I'm also excited for this, and gotta say, more so than GTA 6.

[fallow crystal]

new Doom game looks AWESOME !!!

May 15 !

[fallow crystal]

Dark Ages is gonna be peak they brought back the Doomguy face on the hud

[fallow crystal]

doesnt look like this'll run on Steam Deck which really bums me out

[viscid bluff]

ooh i wonder if my card is up to spec lol

[hard horizon]

you need hardware raytracing

the game will clearly be too big for Steam Deck, not unlike Indy. It'll launch but I wouldn't call it playable

Steam Deck does have raytracing, it's just very slow (barely enough for Quake 2 RTX at 240p)

[undone iron]

I hope the rog ally can do it.. That's all I play on now.

I normally play doom eternal at 120 fps on it, and still get 80 fps with ray tracing on, through ray tracing doesn't do much in eternal.

[fallow crystal]

whoa i just saw a glory kill ive never seen before

ive played this game for at least 400 hours lol

[hard horizon]

did you play multiplayer by the way? I never played 2016 or Eternal's MP

[fallow crystal]

not really

[hard horizon]

but I played Doom 2 CTF last Saturday, was fun

[fallow crystal]

i think i played a couple matches of 2016 MP and then Battlemode but neither really appealed to me

[heavy oar]

Finally upgraded my pc , gotta try 2016 and eternal for the first time

[viscid bluff]

yoo let us know how it goes!

I wonder if Doomguy watches retro tech YouTubers like LGR in his spare time.

[languid crag]

Note the F-90 label in the helmet, which in the final version of 2016, was replaced by the Mark of the Slayer.

[turbid shadow]

Replaying Doom Eternal. I forgot how good this game was. Decided to play on ultra violence, because I've only really ever played on the easiest difficulty

This is just reminding me of how much I suck at Doom

[fallow crystal]

such a great game

[turbid shadow]

I also like reading the codex pages when I get them, because when I first played the game I never really payed much attention to them

[fallow crystal]

ive also been playing through on UV, i usually play Nightmare but ive been out of practice for a while

someday i'll do Ultra Nightmare

[gritty oasis]

it's so weird to me that Nightmare is considered a playable difficulty level and not like an absurd challenge difficulty only for extreme experts

[turbid shadow]

I've went through around 6 extra lives already and I'm on the second level

[hard horizon]

Doom 2016/Eternal Nightmare is way easier than classic Doom nightmare, it has no speedrun requirement. In terms of difficulty it's probably like UV fast or UV+ (i.e. UV with multiplayer spawns)

even Doom 3 Nightmare might be harder since your health continuously decreases to 25 in that game, along with doubled damage compared to Veteran

[turbid shadow]

Slayer Gates are so fucking difficult I had to lower the difficulty to hurt me plenty

I lost all my extra lives

I got to the start of the Doom Hunter Base level, and got stuck at the first big fight

I may not be cut out for UV

[fallow crystal]

getting in the flow during Slayer Gates are my favorite

[hard horizon]

I finished the base game on UV but didn't touch the DLCs yet

[turbid shadow]

The DLCs are good

[turbid shadow]

I seem to not be able to ever get in the flow in Doom Eternal

If I was on keyboard and mouse I might do better. Maybe

[hard horizon]

the game is definitely geared around KB/M

[fallow crystal]

ive only ever played witb controller

[fallow crystal]

im so excited for Dark Ages ☃️☃️☃️

only 2 months away !

[turbid shadow]

Same

I wish I could get the collectors edition, but it's $200 USD

[fallow crystal]

i read that Dark Ages won't have a hub like the Fortress of Doom which im kind of bummed about, i liked going to it after completing a mission or two and getting upgrades and unlocking costumes and stuff

idk

[calm kelp]

Can’t forget about the easter egg references.

Hopefully there’ll still be references to classic games in some way (aside from homages)

[fallow crystal]

:flutternodharder:

i really loved Doomguy's room

[fallow crystal]

2016's combat feels so slow after playing Eternal so much lol

[hard horizon]

yeah for sure, it's probably the most consolized version of Doom we've ever gotten

it still manages to be enjoyable on PC, which is not a given with every console-focused FPS I've seen

[fallow crystal]

yea it's def still a lot of fun and head and shoulders over a lot of other fps games

[hard horizon]

and head and shoulders
missed opportunity to make a Gears of War joke. 😛

(the epitome of consolization after Halo in my book)

[fallow crystal]

whoever decided that pits should be an instant kill in 2016 is going to get a strongly worded letter from me

[turbid shadow]

Yeah I hate that about 2016

Very glad they changed it in Eternal

[fallow crystal]

me too

[hard horizon]

try to die from an explosion (gibbing) while in a classic Doom level, either a secret area or the full level

and see what happens 🙂

[fallow crystal]

that's why i quicksave every two seconds in classic Doom lol

[hard horizon]

I mean, while in Doom 2016

[fallow crystal]

ooh lol

OH yeah i do know that easter egg it's really funny

[turbid shadow]

https://youtu.be/NKoV4zKCsHo?si=BMgQn_hl3g42BuAd

[turbid shadow]

What's your opinions on if the Doom Slayer and Doomguy are the same character? Personally I think they are, but I just wanted to know if anyone else thought that

[fallow crystal]

i think Eternal pretty much flat out confirmed they are with the Sentinel Prime cutscene where the Night Sentinels find Doomguy on the outskirts of the city and bring him to the Hell Priests and put him in the Arena

i think Dark Ages is gonna bridge the gap between Doom 64 and 2016

[turbid shadow]

Yeah, I'm just asking cuz there seems to be people still saying that they're different characters, even though it is almost explicitly stated in Eternal that they are the same character

There's some people that will get mad when you call The Doom Slayer Doomguy cuz "they're not the same character" even though they pretty clearly are

[fallow crystal]

strange

especially because in TAG 2 the subtitles for Doomguy's "no" is Doomguy

[turbid shadow]

Yeah

[fallow crystal]

and the UAC Intern calls him Doomguy when he's on his way to the Holt

[turbid shadow]

I brought this up cuz I was watching a video about a Master Chief figure, and someone commented that they should get a Doomguy figure, which someone responded to saying they already had one, and then the previous guy said they had a Doom Slayer figure and not a Doomguy figure It's literally the same guy, just different armor

I do not like classic Doom elitists, they're fucking annoying acting like only the classic games are good

[hard horizon]

what if Doomguy, Ranger and Blazkowicz are all the same person, just at different points in time 😛

[turbid shadow]

Not sure if it is cannon or not, but I remember seeing something that said they were all related

[fallow crystal]

old canon was that BJ Blascowics was Commander Keen's grandfather and Keen was Doomguy's grandfather

idk if it still is

[turbid shadow]

Yeah that's what I was referring to

[heavy oar]

I.... kinda like it ,but i just don't like the direction they went with doomslayer , i always liked doom guy because he was just a regular guy that got to survive the most deranged and horrifying things , he fought through bases , cities , hell itself to save the world.....while still being just a military man albeit more brutal and I don't like him being this demi god golem ,i would rather see him as this adrenaline ptsd driven marine that got so lost in constant battle that there is no man left in here anymore ,just a sheer anger....or even the force of nature

[fallow crystal]

happy 5 year anniversary to Doom Eternal, my favorite game of all time ☃️

[hard horizon]

happy birthday Doom Crossing: Eternal Horizons

[calm kelp]

Dayum. I can see it now, The Dark Ages is a GOTY candidate.

I’ve seen all the gameplay done by content creators with early access to the game. No words but only three. DOOM is back!

[fallow crystal]

what ytbers have played it ?

[turbid shadow]

I haven't watched any gameplay. I'd rather wait till release and play it myself

[orchid thistle]

i plan on playing wads starting from the 1990s all the way to the present day. may be a while though

[heavy oar]

And here's the classic "Standing on a hill" poster

[viscid bluff]

I should finish 2016 and eternal at some po int

I'm like 50% through 2016 and just kinda stopped for some reason lol

[calm kelp]

I beat Eternal + TAG1 but stopped in 2016 during the fight with the Hell Guards

fair enough

[fallow crystal]

holy shit

this is great !

kind of hard to follow up Eternal's main menu music imo, but this is pretty worthy

[viscid bluff]

Do we have any info on what kind of game Doom the Dark Ages will be like?

I know Skill Up did a video, but I've not seen it yet myself, and I figured I'd ask here if there's better info out there

[fallow crystal]

iirc Hugo Martin said it's gonna be slower

he compared Eternal's gameplay to a racecar and Dark Ages to a tank

[viscid bluff]

oh interesting, that could be fun

[hard horizon]

it's probably closer to classic Doom in a sense

larger areas + more enemies at once

less areas with lock-in, you can blaze through enemies if you want

no more glory kills except on bosses

less stringent ammo management

[fallow crystal]

do you recognize all the references? 😛

John Linneman (@dark1x.bsky.social)

70% through my Nightmare run in Doom Eternal and I only finally stopped to look around at all the details in the Fortress. Somehow I missed these books with the many fine references. Very very good.

John Linneman (@dark1x.bsky.social)
In prepping for Doom The Dark Ages, I decided to do another Doom Eternal Nightmare run and it's definitely reminding me that I was perhaps a little too harsh on it recently. The mechanics become a little dull on normal difficulty but on Nightmare, it's phenomenal. It demands a lot, though.

[turbid shadow]

I love that you can parry attacks in The Dark Ages

[viscid bluff]

just watched this trailer, this looks so cool

parry seems so fun for a shooter too

[turbid shadow]

It almost looks kind of like a souls game, with the parrying

I'm just sooo excited

[viscid bluff]

hmm, different style of parry though, it was more like original doom style, where you can see projectiles coming and dodge out of the way

Something like Jupiter Hell

though that doesn't have a parry per-se

[turbid shadow]

Yeah

[viscid bluff]

I hope you really enjoy the game when it comes out. When's it slated for anyway?

[turbid shadow]

May 15

So less than 3 weeks

My dad said that he might actually be able to play this one. He had a lot of difficulty with Eternal because it was so fast paced, and also the platforming, and from what they've said, this one will be slower than Eternal

[viscid bluff]

aye hopefully

We'll have to wait for reviews to really see

[turbid shadow]

Yeah

[viscid bluff]

though the asking prices is rather high... why is it 120 AUD lol

I might wait for a good sale

[turbid shadow]

I think that's the premium edition, which comes with the story DLC

[viscid bluff]

not exactly

premium is 170 AUD

[turbid shadow]

Oh

[viscid bluff]

yeahhhh

[turbid shadow]

[viscid bluff]

I know the Aussie dollar isn't crazy valued, but that's kinda high even for AAA games

eh, that's ok

[fallow crystal]

im excited but yeah very expensive

[viscid bluff]

I've still got Doom 2016 and Eternal to finish

aye aye

[turbid shadow]

It's $90 Canadian, so about $10 cheaper here

[fallow crystal]

i might have to wait just to see how it runs on Steam Deck, i'm a little worried

[turbid shadow]

I have game pass, so I don't personally need to worry about the price

[viscid bluff]

ID games are pretty well optimised most of the time

how well does eternal/doom 2016 run on steam deck?

yeah gamepass might be a good call,

[fallow crystal]

2016 runs pretty good, Eternal runs so good it's incredible

[viscid bluff]

they'll probably have a build catering to steam deck specifically, or at least, lower end PCs with options that'll work with steam deck

but yeah, wait and see to be sure

[turbid shadow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1i8tzss/doom_the_dark_ages_system_requirements_revealed/

these are the pc requirements

[viscid bluff]

oh shit

[fallow crystal]

:yea:

[turbid shadow]

Yeah

[viscid bluff]

Maybe my PC isn't quite up to it then...

[hard horizon]

hopefully they don't break DLSS on the Game Pass version, like they did with Oblivion...

[turbid shadow]

Ill probably end up playing it on my Xbox instead of my pc

[viscid bluff]

yeah fair enough.

[turbid shadow]

I would like to play it on my pc, but I need to be out in the living room on weekdays watching our dogs to make sure the aren't doing anything they shouldn't be

[fallow crystal]

from some looking around it seems Indiana Jones runs pretty well on the Deck, and iirc it runs on the same engine as Dark ages

[turbid shadow]

Also, I currently dont have enough room on my pc for the game

I could maybe try to finish Death Stranding before it comes out, but im not sure if I'll be able to

[hard horizon]

Indy on Deck is a bit borderline, it's not quite a stable 30 FPS

it's probably smoother than Crysis 3 on PS3, mind you, but still

[fallow crystal]

only a little over 2 weeks ☃️

[turbid shadow]

Ah fuck, I don't have enough space on my Xbox for it

[viscid bluff]

Ah darn, how big is it?

[turbid shadow]

Pc requirements say 100 gb

[turbid shadow]

I hope The Dark Ages soundtrack will be on Spotify

[viscid bluff]

Ah yeah, 100 gb is a lot

[gritty oasis]

lol RIP I was doing a DooMII WoS run on HMP, no deaths, only temp saves for bridging sessions (and that one stupid jump on I think level 6), 100% all (except the two levels with icons where I don't get 100% kills according to the Zandronum counter but would according to original counting) going for relatively high speed (not a speedrun but like, not dawdling) ... was killing the final icon on level 30 ... pumping rockets into him ... kid grabs my arm ... I can't keep myself stable against shots behind me, and get knocked off the edge and have to reload.

[viscid bluff]

Rip the run

[turbid shadow]

12 days till The Dark Ages

[fallow crystal]

im gonna preorder on Monday

:3

[fallow crystal]

huh

Doom Eternal was downgraded from Verified to Playable

weird because it runs amazingly lmao

[fallow crystal]

im getting really excited for Dark Ages

[turbid shadow]

Same

[fallow crystal]

people on r/steamdeck are split on if it'll run good or not, i think it'll run at like 30 fps with quality at low

[heavy oar]

My past as potato laptop user tells me
"If its above 15 fps, then its playable"

[fallow crystal]

relevant here too https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/s/Pd2mWqjZog

[fallow crystal]

Dark Ages preordered

[turbid shadow]

There are already spoilers for The Dark Ages on YouTube, so be careful

Early access for premium edition starts in two and a half hours

[latent orbit]

Apparently Dark Ages does NOT run well on Steamdeck, lol.

Like, 15 fps at low resolution.

[fallow crystal]

video i watched was mid 20s which is fine for me

[turbid shadow]

Im tempted to upgrade to the premium edition so I can play today

Apparently the campaign is 20-25 hours long

Two days is too long

[fallow crystal]

interesting. iirc 2016 was about 15 and Eternal was 20

[turbid shadow]

The campaign has 22 chapters apparently, and I'm pretty sure they're gonna be longer than levels from previous games

[fallow crystal]

yeah iirc Hugo Martin said they're a little more open

[turbid shadow]

Yeah he did

[fallow crystal]

did you ever watch his playthrough of Eternal he did ? it's really fun

[turbid shadow]

I didn't know he did one

[fallow crystal]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSHdOA4o6T_cMZe8mOLyFMp_glmPQfS-Y&feature=shared

[turbid shadow]

This might be the most excited I've been for a game since Eternal

[turbid shadow]

Oh interesting

[fallow crystal]

my hype level was a lot higher for Eternal but i am really excited for Dark Ages

it might be because i didn't really follow DA development and reveals like i did for Eternal

[turbid shadow]

Im just excited cuz new Doom game

[fallow crystal]

true

[turbid shadow]

I'm super jealous of all the people with the premium edition already playing the game😔

[fallow crystal]

lol same

but 100 dollars is a lot haha

[turbid shadow]

I have game pass, so I could buy the upgrade for $50 cad, but I'm probably not going to

[fallow crystal]

i really like how the modern Doom trilogy follows how the Evil Dead trilogy was

• the classic original (The Evil Dead/2016)
• the sequel that steps everything up (Evil Dead 2/Eternal)
• the medieval one (Army of Darkness/Dark Ages)

[turbid shadow]

Oh my god it does

[latent orbit]

Tbf, Army of Darkness is more of a side-story/separate adventure that you can watch entirely on its own without needing to watch the other two. All you gotta know is that our hero is a dumbass with a chainsaw arm and a big ass shotgun.

I do not like the first two Evil Dead films, but I love Army of Darkness.

[fallow crystal]

whaaaaaaaaat

Evil Dead 2 is one of the best movies ever

[calm kelp]

Kinda late but…happy TDA early access day.

[turbid shadow]

I fucking hate my Xbox man, whenever your afk for a few minutes, the screen will go dark and start showing achievements, and mine just showed a The Dark Ages achievement. My Xbox is teasing me😭
