The open beta is pretty fun even if it is only two maps.

Is the open beta still going? I downloaded it last week but didn't get a chance to play it at the weekend there. I thought it was just Fri to Sun but not sure?

My friends said it gave them nightmares.

I was like; dozy twats. It's just a game.

Then they completed it, lent it to me and it gave me nightmares.

Just like them I played it so much (6 hour sessions) that I started dreaming about it. Including the bits where you'd hear heavy breathing, try and work out where the fuck it was coming from, turn and find a Sargent chewing on your face, jump, yelp, shotgun blast to its face.... and breath.

Well that's what you'd do when awake. Asleep you'd just jump and wake yourself with a 'fuck' I'm dreaming Doom again!

I played it on a PS1 back in the 90's (6-8hr sessions) and ended up Doom dreaming as well!!! There was a strange bloke I shared a house with around this time and he'd clear out a level and then spend the rest of the night walking around it like it was his own private kingdom.
 
Got an email saying that my copy is being packed :D It's good timing as I've finished Alien:Isolation and looks like I'm on the last bit of Wolfenstein: The new order.
 
It arrived yesterday and have only had an hour or so playing but I love it! It's really fast, there are hordes of beasties from the off. Looks like uprated Doom 3 with the speed and intensity of Doom2. It also has the modern conventions of in game challenges, weapon and armor mods.

Oh plenty of messy one shot/chainsaw kills :D
 
Yep, chainsaw is awesome, been watching my son play it on his PC. Had to turn the graphics down to medium, still looks amazing, gameplay is pretty much perfect especially some of the glory kills :D

Argos are doing a 500GB PS4 with Doom and Uncharted 4 both FREE. Guess where I'm going in a minute? Need to buy one anyway as I've already preordered No Man's Sky, so those two will keep me busy til it lands.
 
So it looks fucking perfect on the PS4, as my missus put it "Christ, makes it look like every game you played up until now was through a dirty screen". :D

It's dumb, dumb, perfect fun. They've built in lots of reasons to go exploring so it's not just a total gore-fest, but it is it, at heart, a total gore-fest. Which is why I like it. Being Bethesda there's a bit more story than you might expect, I'm wondering if they'll manage to actually make me care like they did with Wolfenstein?

Doesn't matter if not. Chainsaw. :thumbs:
 
I'm a fair way in (have just met my first cyberdemon :thumbs: ) and they've managed to slip an interesting backstory in there. I'm not sure "care" is the right word but I'm enjoying the characterisation.

The exploration is very handy - Rune trials = better Doomguy!
 
I keep getting lost and wandering round demon free areas for ages desperate to boot the fuck out of something. That 3D map confuses me. What's your target on it?
 
It takes a while to get used to the map but you can switch to 2D; I found myself doing this a lot on the early levels. You can also free rotate the 3D one which is useful.

The target is the yellow icon that looks like a military rank badge (captain or something?).

Oh rune+weapon mastery+ armor = Super gattling gun with unlimited ammo and no overheat :cool:

Ah right. Thanks for that. I'll have another go at it tomorrow.
 
Finished it the other day and got my "Knees deep in the Dead" trophy :D Might take a break before tackling it on Nightmare difficulty...

Having said that I do need to go back to a couple of levels to complete the mission challenges and get the penultimate Doomguy (you get the final one on completion).

Damn Bethesda though, going to have to wait for Doom II v2 :mad:

Have tried on Ultra-nightmare and have got about 3/4 of the way through level 1 - as you play through the ground is littered with Doom helmets acting as death markers to show how far you (and other players) got on each attempt.
 
Just played the free PC demo, not my thing, don't like the engine, ID5, poor textures, no heft to the enemies, etc, the gameplay, fast retro, FPS,

Hard Reset is only 3.00 and more enjoyable.
 
Literally no idea what you're on about treelover.

Just finished it, it was BRILLIANT. Fuck me the end credits were better than some entire games I've played. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Now on to A Thief's End :thumbs:
 
Just downloaded an update for something called Vulkan and Doom now runs at around 100-130fps with everything up full :D
 
Played the demo, nice bit of nostalgia gaming but not enough to shell out for the full game. If it goes down to like a tenner I might pick it up though....

I agree, not getting the love for this game, the enemies don't feel very physically substantial, maybe the speed they move, graphics are a bit flat, not one for fast FPS, I am not even mad on Wolfenstein TNO.
