Well. 
Apart from that particular aspect, I can't see anything wrong with those screenies??? 
 
Colorblind mode (sorry, "COLORBLIND MODE") "low" rather than "off"? Some options in all-caps, some not. It's either very early placeholder work or a fake. 
Certainly A Fake 
I can't believe they can do a so shitty Graphic Setting Window...come on...

What software is the artist using in that video? 
 
Photoshop CS6 
Thanks :) 
 
 
So, did they invent the term "reverse sleeve" just for Doom 4?

I'd never heard it before and googling pretty much only gave references to Doom 4.

Nah, it's just a perineum away from the "wizard's sleeve". 
 
Not invented for Doom 4. I remember Bioshock Infinite doing something similar, and I'm sure it wasn't new then either. 
 
Ah, okay. Finally got some results googling:

game reverse sleeve -doom

Mostly just for console games these days I guess. I have very few PC games in packaging that could do that.

You've been reading Roger Mellie! :) 
Omgfov 
it's returned and it's 110 max omg 
It Is All Fun And Games Until You Actually Try It 
You need to gain XP to level up to unlock LG... At the same time XP could be raised by, uhm, existing.
0 frags, 8 deaths in first match...
1270 XP! Holy crap, now that's some quality instant gratification for you.

It is not a game, it is a shame 8(

Oh and For some reason FOV 110 feels like 90. 
Oh Boy

Enjoy post #1500. 
 
Played the open beta some, I'll have more thoughts later, but... after the past several CoDs, the movement in this felt restrictive and clunky. I can move at one fixed rate, and I can do a dinky jump, or another dinky jump, and nothing seems to impact anyone's momentum. Yeah there is mantling, but it isn't quite consistent, and it seems like everything is either on the same level of you, or a double jump plus auto-mantle away, so it feels less like a capability and more like a canned animation for normal activity.

I somehow still feel ripped off even though it was free. 
 
Really glad they had an open beta because I feel the same way. Now I know not just to not preorder, but to never buy the game even if it's 50% off or lower. 
More Enjoyable Than The Closed Beta 
For me, having a playable fov makes a huge difference. Also, the wider fov causes me to perceive the movement as faster, so yay for that.

I dunno, maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I don't really have a huge issue with the casualized muliplayer. It's kinda nice to just go with the flow and not have to exert any effort and still have the gratification of owning. It's like candy, it's superficial and won't sustain you but it's enjoyable for a few minutes.

I can sympathize with some of the 'outrage' though, some elements don't seem very thought out and certainly none if it looks, sounds or feels really anything like doom to me. I really can't detect any doom 'vibe'. Probably the wrong IP to plaster on this game (the multiplayer, anyway).

PROS:
� Entertaining in short bursts

� Runs well and is pretty

� Very accessible and manages to be fairly rewarding for very little effort (good for those with limited time or interest)

CONS:
� The announcer HOLY FUCK

� Gameplay feels somewhat 'swingy' due to the demon rune and 1-hit-kill cannon

� Loadouts SUBSTITUTING in-map pickups sucks

� My Little Marine(tm) dress-up

� Imbalanced match-making (not sure what metrics they use, but they're not working)

� Lack of free-for-all deathmatch is a huge mistake and is amplified by the shoddy match-making system (this is what will likely be the nail in the coffin for me)

All-in-all I'm not distraught over the muliplayer, I'm enjoying it for what it is. Then again, my main focus is the single player, so there's that. 
 
I've nothing against casual friendly mp. I enjoy some CoD mp. They usually do casual well. I disliked this because it wasn't fun, and it lacked any distinct elements or general feel. For example, I don't enjoy Battlefield, but it feels like Battlefield.

This is not up to par for a AAA game. 
 
The feedback doesn't look good on Bethesda's own forums either. 
Damn 
i feel pity for those guys working on it. so much flak. 
 
Whoever is responsible deserves the flak.
They have all the money, all the resources, no excuses really as far as I know.

I played 15 min, freaking boring plastic experience. Feels all wrong, no momentum, plastic feeling guns, 2 weapons WHAT THE FUCK and so on.

Fucking aye what is this ?


#1503 "I dunno, maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I don't....enjoyable for a few minutes. "

Yes yes yes... this might be fine for some no name AAA popcorn 30� game of the season...
We are speaking DOOM here though. A popcorn experience you will grow bored of after a month...that's it, for the MP part of the sequel to THE most legendary FPS ever created ? Pffft, fucking F-A-I-L thats all there is to it.
A fail plain and simple, justify it as you please. 
I Think 
They have all the money, all the resources

and a publisher that wants a new halo 
Lol 
PLOT TWIST

Turns out it's a console game aimed at console gamers. Who'd have thunk it?
