the purpose of the doom thread was to discuss a game that hadn't been released yet and share opinions based on the information that was available at the time. everyone has an opinions and sometimes they're just plain shitty, it's the nature of things. No one should be ashamed of that.

That said, I ragged pretty hard on some things for a moment. I'm happy to eat my words, I'm having a ton of fun with this game! Beat it last night and I'm currently re-running some missions to find the 1-2 secrets I missed. Really fun, really happy with the game. 

Roughly how long is the SP game? 

finished it, and i'd say this is the best shooter of modern times ever. everything in this game is perfect, especially sound design.

i'm doom cultist now. 

If you want to absolutely 100% everything on ultra-violent it'll be ~15 hours, maybe more.

During my first run I skipped any non-progression related secrets (e.g. secrets that didn't contain elite guards, argent energy, bots, etc.) and that took about 12-13 hours. 

The good idea with quake 1 was giving a serious sound artist carte blanche to create a coherent sound and music "vision".

Dunno about doom4 havent played yet but I doubt thats the case there 

Ultraviolence, 5hrs and some.

No deaths either. Wonder what the devs say about him, he wades through in a special fashion.

Haven't looked at the whole run, as i don't want to spoil myself, but the first 45 minutes gave a good glimpse of what is doable.

This new DOOM is lovely, SP perspective. 

Ok that's not a bad hourage for a game of this type in this day and age I guess. 

My main gripe with the game is that if felt a bit, well, short (that's what she said). I suppose that could be a good sign, depending on how you look at it. 

Doom (1993) on LGR.

This guy does great reviews, been watching them since he had but a handful of subs. 

You meant ultra-nightmare. holy shit. he did it. 

ultra NM. 

/me goes to buy a new videocard cuz I wanna play this game 

no?
nobody playing on console? 

but they can't use keyboards to answer you here...

(what a bad joke, i know, i know...) 

and predicted here that it would good. So I'm happy I was right :)

Can't wait for the hell modules to be added to SnapMap. 

SnapMap on the other hand seems too limited to allow us true customization of the game, at least when it comes to make stuff like MegaWADs, new textures, new guns, new items, and new monsters.
Maybe they could update it in the long run. 

I've only played the PS4 version. Does the PC version have any movement features which allow you to gain speed or momentum like there were in all of the Quake titles? Strafe jumping, bunnyhopping, circle jumps, etc 

 

So...has the player movement speed been whopped up since the closed beta? Watching gameplay videos, the player seems to be spanking along at a fair old wallop. 

Surprisingly, SP has comfortable speed.
As for MP... No. It is still a turtlefest.
Available FOV was increased to 130 (which looks like ~110 in q3/QL), advanced graphic settings unlocked, few more maps/modes and guns maybe... don't remember which was available in beta.
As for gameplay itself it remains unchanged. 

DOOM: Behind the Music 

speed is OK in SP. If you pick up haste it is very fast especially - almost like the original games. 

Say...If it isn't my old nemesis... a HEALTH PACK! 

I don't have the game, but is there an option to turn off that shiny glowy overlay on items and stuff? 

You can't disable the item glow. But you can and should disable things like glory kill highlighting, boss health bar and mission markers. It's also possible to disable interaction prompts.
