If I get Doom, it will only be for single player. WTF were they thinking with achievements, skill points, and especially load outs...seriously wtf. I was hoping I would have something to replace Q3A, guess not.
At least Doom 3 was actually good.
I gave it an honest go and found it underwhelming but others seemed to like it a lot. Slower than UT if just a tad. I will play while the demo is available but will not be purchasing.
Division/etc games that all look like they've been passed through a "mute colors" filter
How did anyone expect this would be good? All of id's talent quit after Bethesda bought it, either over that or Rage being released functionally unfinished. This is a cynical attempt to cash in on the Doom IP and that's it. It throws away everything Doom 3 stood for in favour of... Blandness? Nothing? Lack of Content?
I'm not, but the screenshots all look the same drab type of area. Like all these different games could all be the same game.What Division you playing? I think the game is very vibrant! Same with CoD. Now if you wanted to say this about Battlefield I'd agree!
Everything is brown and gray these daysI'm not, but the screenshots all look the same drab type of area. Like all these different games could all be the same game.

Why does the link "doom open beta" take me through a rabbit trail of clicks just to get to the actual content. Why not hyperlink it directly to the source?Although the DOOM open beta doesn't go live until midnight tonight, you can actually fire up the demo (no servers are running yet though). The first thing that caught our eye was this warning to GeForce owners saying that, on the first launch of the game, the game may stutter badly until you reach the menu. The issue should go away after that but may return if you update your drivers in the future. Also of note, there is no menu for advanced video features. We are not sure why this is, but we thought we would mention it.
played a few mins on a server. Terrible imput lag with my mouse. FPS was horrible, and not being able to change much in menu sux. Couldn't track enemies due to imput lag. Felt like an old original LCD 60hz monitor and a 1999 laser mouse. Uninstall complete!

I feel like the worst design decision was the horribad melee system that can instagib you from 4m away and shows completely different animations when YOU do it compared to what you see when others do it?? Supposedly it only works if you have "low health" but like 70% is low? I've racked up 3 hours now on Steam and I haven't see a single melee attack NOT kill instantly.
That's just all part of the Retro experience Bethesda has provided for us!
I've been playing this off and on this morning. There is little about the experience that's retro. The announcer sounds like he's ready for a dick in the ass, the game is full of bullshit CoD type perks, Battlefield style loadouts, and a level system. The gameplay occasionally suffers from "I emptied my weapon into the other guy and he came up and melee killed me." If you wanted a traditional arena experience, this game isn't it. It feels like Call of Duty with a Doom skin on it at best. On a positive note the game ran really well for me at 4K. 60FPS was easily obtainable and the game felt smooth. I didn't notice any input lag. The menu system is laid out well enough and I had no other issues with the interface other than where it emulated Battlefield games.
I'll probably still pick it up for the single player, but as a multiplayer game I can't see this holding my interest for very long. Maybe I'm too old or something but I prefer games like the upcoming Unreal Tournament which have none of the modern gameplay mechanics. You just go in and pick up the weapons as you go and kill each other. There are no loadouts, no perks, no bullshit. Just virtual blood sport in it's purist form.
Good thing i use ublock originThey want ad revenue.
