Doom 4 E3 reveal.

Well, I just downloaded the demo and find it very cool. It plays really well at 4k with my FX 8300 at 4.5GHz and a EVGA 980Ti FTW.
 
anyone have a 'key stuck' issue? i have mouse sensitivity set to 5 and sometimes i keep moving even though i stopped pressing a key. its as though the key remains pressed for longer than in intended.
 
I enjoyed the demo. I plan to buy it during next week's Steam sale. At least assuming they knock at least 15% off of the price.
The mouse felt a little floatier than I'd like (for me it's vsync or nothing), so hopefully there are some tweaks available in the full version.
 
There's a startup command to remove mouse acceleration I believe, which fixes the "floatiness" issue.

Unless it's related to VSync, then I dunno...I don't use VSync.
 
Can someone tell me what the basic plot is? why did i wake up in that coffin? Why am i running around killing monsters. I know this is not a game with a deep story but curious the basic premise.

The basic plot is you woke up in some installation on Mars and shit has hit the fan, with demonic creatures on the loose. What else are you going to do?

Read the codex entries if you're truly interested in the story. Doomguy's background is revealed to you during your first trip to Hell, so just keep playing.
 
Bought this via CDKeys and am having a blast. It's the style of shooter I can still get behind. I've gotten used to the mouse and have grown to actually like the tiny bit of float to it. The console command works fine, too.
Overwatch didn't do it for me, but I'm loving this game.
 
I think I'm on the last level. All the others are fully completed (secrets/Marine Guys/challenges). Might get around it tonight. I've yet to even try MP. Typically when I switch to MP, it kills the game for me. I'll probably replay the game on the hardest difficulty though.

Fun game. Spent like $40 on it. Glad I bought it.

The game goes into great detail about ALL of this. No spoilers, just play the game.

After a night of binge drinking, your college buddies decide to play a prank on you. They lock you in a cryotube, and blast you off into space. What can I say, they're pricks. Anyway, your tube lands on Mars around the same time the Hell portal is opened. That magic word, "pizza," is uttered. You awake from your slumber angry that the pizza is all gone. Seeing the demons around you, you ask, "Where's the pizza?" They don't respond. You ask again, "Where's the pizza?" Then one of the demons attacks you. Your white privilege awakens within you and you rampage across Mars searching for a slice of pizza.

Will you get your slice? You'll have to play to find out.
 
So I beat single player with all secrets and stuff unlocked. Moved onto MP. Eh, seems a little hollow. I don't understand the demon runs or the hack modules at all. Are the modules like the burn cards from Titanfall? And I'm thinking its just a race to get to the demon rune? I only did a few rounds last night before bed. And the only modding to weapons is colors I take it? I was hoping to mod the weapons like they were in single player.

Yes, hack Modules are like Burn Cards from Titanfall, except they can last for more than 1 death (they have timers on them that expire).
Pretty much yeah for the Demon Rune - first one near it gets it. And if you kill a demon, it becomes available for pickup by somebody from your team, and then I think....if you don't pick it up within a certain amount of time, it becomes freely available to the other team as well.
Correct for weapon modding - it's only colors. The weapons have pre-defined mods for MP.

Alright, that's sort of what I got out of it.

Meh. MP is ok. There's something missing, but I'm not sure what.
 
Ok I sold some CS items and got this for free so hopefully this shit is worth it
 
Minor gripe, but they need to allow you to remap the tab button and the menu confirmation buttons (like "e").
 
what if hell was originally a mirror dimension to our own and only truly diverged into the form it takes in game after trump takes the presidency
 
I enjoyed the demo but it didn't blow my socks off or anything.

I wait till it's on sale for like $10-15 even if that takes a year.
 
Does shit ever spawn randomly? I almost fucking shit myself because of this asshole hell knight.

Area was cleared and quiet for a while as I tried to figure something out. SUDDENLY

Yeah, I am pretty sure they can randomly spawn when you are going back through cleared areas. There is some debate earlier in the thread as to whether or not that is the case, but I swear it's happened to me.
 
No, you should be able to equip any of them. I think they just look different once they're upgraded.

Can't hear if you're saying anything in that part, but that doesn't happen to that particular effect on my machine.

The demo isn't really enough to get a feel for what the whole game is like. It is well worth the $36 it's on sale for on Steam right now. I paid the full $60 when it came out; still playing it regularly more than a month later.

If you didn't go up to the yellow key door around the corner, yet, there is a hell knight that spawns there. He probably got tired of waiting for your ass. :LOL:
 
You don't get the weird rotating shadows near fog or smoke?

I don't believe I've ever seen it do that, and I've nearly completed the game. I pay really close attention to effects like that too, because those are the graphical aspects that I'm really interested in. (for example, I'll go stand near a big fan, and watch the shadows in the fog/smoke for an extended period of time :D ) I would have noticed that weirdness pretty quickly if it did it while I was playing. I'll definitely be on the lookout next time I play now though. :D

Maybe one of the quality settings has a bug in it or something, and it doesn't behave like that with all settings?
 
I dunno I got everything maxed out.

I just thought it was weird since it's super noticeable if you actually stop to look at it for a second.
 
I never noticed the smoke thing before either. Thanks to Doom being so quick and hectic, I've never really taken the time to look around.
 
Hmmmm. No mention about finally letting you remap the hard-locked keys like Tab and E. Hopefully that's just a misc. fix they didn't feel like mentioning.

You could always remap keys by hand - I was considering doing this since I flip WSAD over to EDSF and it's annoying to switch back just for the map (although not a deal-breaker unlike Wolfenstein where the underwater section was completely broken).
 
Due to life and things getting extra busy I had to put all gaming on hold for a while ... until tonight finally... got to Doom it out a bit more... The Rich Get Richer, that mother trucker of a challenge.. lol. I am pretty sure the neighbors heard me yelling... Finally beat it though.

I've played 95% of the game with a gamepad. There are 2-3 challenges though that I had to put a chair in front of the couch the living-room, and use the mouse and keyboard. :D (because I'm sure our neighbors could hear me yelling too, and there's quite a bit of distance between our houses...) My daughters suggested I take a break during one of them. hehehe

Hmm... Got The Rich Get Richer on my second try with a controller. Only thing kicking my ass using a controller is the Ultra-Nightmare achievement. I gave up and did it with M+K, but I still want to try with a controller.
