DOOM: The Dark Ages

Maybe CD keys I might bite... 9/10 might be good enough

The same chainsaw mechanic was in 2016.

It was, but I don't remember the chainsaw fuel being such an issue. Conceptually, its not the worst thing but the three charges of chainsaw fuel combined with the low ammo carrying capacity makes the whole system a chore to use.

I watched the IGN video review linked here (at least parts of it) and I was actually impressed with the review. The reviewer was actually good at the game and was able to show off the game properly and describe everything gameplay wise very well.

He was actually good at the game, not just average. You would think that would just be normal for someone playing games as their profession.
But usually when I see video reviews it's painful to watch, like it's their first time playing a video game and they're not only just really bad using a controller or mouse, but their brain doesn't function either.

In Doom 2016 you have a max of 7 "ammo" for chainsaw, with different enemies taking different amounts of "ammo", with the biggest being the Barons of Hell which take like 5 or 6 ammo to chainsaw. In Doom Eternal you only have 3 "ammo" for the chainsaw (if you used your last one it would auto-regenerate), with enemies taking 1, 2, or all 3 ammo to use, and the bigger enemies like the Barons you could not chainsaw at all. So yeah it was a much shittier system. Like you said, it was a chore to use.
 
Wow these benchmarks are crazy not good.

Usually ' iD Tech ' engines run pretty smooth and high frames on most cards. But damn those is showing like 50 to 70 fps only on good cards.

I recall playing Doom Eternal with my RTX-3080 and getting super high frames. And Doom 2016 running on my 1070 getting pretty good frames too, not just 50 fps.

For comparison I've done no overclocking and no real tuning on my current system. I'm getting 240FPS-300+ FPS in Doom Eternal. (I fired it up last night for the hell of it.) With DLSS I'm getting over 400FPS.
 
Performance seems ok for this game on the usual cards of the last 4-5 years(Ampere-Blackwell). No The 3060 ti or 3080 won't run it at 240 fps. But From what I've read on the performance reviews, You just need 60 fps regular or upscaled(DLSS). And leave Frame gen off so you can stay at -30 ms latency.
 
Damn I don't think my 4070 will be able to run this at 4k 144hz. The game not that optimized? Looks like theres not much difference on the presets from low and ultra nightmare. We need lower settings for lower end cards.

it might if you can accept not running ultra nightmare...
 
I dunno, reviews seem kinda "eh"..

Eternal kinda "jumped the shark" with all its acrobatics, and now this?

I'll stick to Quake 1 and Doom 2016 for classic twitch shooters
 
Looking forward to playing Doom the Dark Ages, but I also hope it has a bit more variety than the previous titles. I found Doom 2016 and Eternal to get a bit repetitive after a while with the games' #1 trick being locking you in an arena with lots of monsters, run a little bit to the next arena then rinse and repeat. I just got tired of it around 2/3rds through each of the games, then took like a 12 month break before going back and finishing it.

Same here. The acrobatics of Eternal turned me off completely so the stand and fight of Dark Ages should be a nice change.
 
I've heard that the right click mouse button is permanently mapped to the shield. Is this true? It can't be mapped to something else?

This is a non starter for me, right click mouse button is Forward for me. And yes I will die on this hill

Not sure where you heard that as it’s nonsense. You can remap anything you like. Also, you’re weird, but that’s a separate issue. 😋
