Sup Forums says it's a return to action packed old school shooters

Which is exactly what the old DOODs were. But you already knew that when you decided to troll around. Or you're a kid who idolizes oldschool fps games without ever having played one

...

That's what you did in the old Doom games.

Or did you not play those?

No you don't, the game is linear as hell and nothing like the classic Dooms.

the problem with the new doom is that there are still annoying cutscenes and button prompts that waste your time. i realize that the arcade mode probably solves these issues but it's just funny to point out from a game that spends most of its time making fun of the modern shooter.

How about we call the first game in the series Ultimate Doom in order to avoid confusion?

...

Ultimate Doom already exists.

I'd like this game a lot better if it didn't rely so heavily on surprise arena fights.

You're on the factory level with the lava aren't you?
That's like 40 minutes in and most of the levels are more linear. Stick with it.

That's the point.

Ultimate Doom is the version of Doom most people play these days anyway.

So we have a neat series of games:

1. The Ultimate Doom
2. Doom II: Hell on Earth
3. ???
4. DOOM

>I'd like this game a lot better if it didn't rely so heavily on surprise arena fights.

Well that's what the game is all about. Gets better in the middle when you unlock most weapons, then it gets repetitive by the end.

And the Bosses kinda suck.

You're reaching pretty hard, they lock you in a room for two minutes twice over the course of a ten hour game. Come on son.

Except weapon upgrades slow the game down considerably.

99% of people who say Doom, know which Doom you speak of on Sup Forums.

The new one is nudoom, DOOM, doom2k16, etc.

Whenever someone says Doom on Sup Forums, they mean Doom 1 or the entire series as a whole.

Don't forget D44M

I call it - and I bet you didn't see that one coming - Doom4.

Arcade Mode is the most fun I've had with a shooter in years. Pity the Berserk powerup is so fucking busted when you equip the air mobility and both glory kill glyphs.

I hated Glory Kills at first, but when I realized they're most useful as a >teleports behind you button I came to piece with them.

That's exactly what old-school shooters were.

Doom 4's problems are an over-reliance on structured battles in single rooms and that fucking shitty "melee to get health" mechanic. It's still good, though.

>99% of people who say Doom, know which Doom you speak of on Sup Forums.

Not really, Sup Forums is full of underage dispshits. Hell a lot of people used to write "Deus Ex" when talking about Human Revolution.

This DOOM vs DOOM naming will be always confusing.

Ultimate Doom vs Doom fixes the problem.

OP is 14, what do you think?

...

Dumb frog posters

I think you expected way to much of it.

Old Doom didn't have surprise lock-in ambushes at EVERY FUCKING ENCOUNTER. What's so bad about opening a door, actually seeing all the monsters inside and using already known geography against them?

>the original doom wasn't linear

Not sure if retarded.

You haven't even played the game

theyre not really even ambushes either, its pretty easy to tell when youre in a fight area

>What's so bad about opening a door, actually seeing all the monsters inside and using already known geography against them?

It takes a lot of processor power.

>it's the daily doom 2016 contrarian thread

The real reason is that it's too taxing on the hardware to render a lot of demons at any given time. Also the levels become smaller and divided in segments which also is easier on the hardware.

So they lock you in a small room in which new enemies spawn after you have killed some. In order to give the illusion that you are fighting a huge horde of demons. And it kinda works.

How about we actually solve the problem.

Never talk about doom 2016 ever.

There my way works best.

Limitations. Same reason why Quake had a much lower enemy count than Doom. Polygons are just more taxing.
They also made them stronger to accommodate the lower enemy count.
Now we have weaker enemies in a greater number that have to spawn in an arena.

>Never talk about doom 2016 ever.

It's still better than most modern shooters. Hell, it's better than some old-school shooters.

Why are you guys so fervent in your defense of this game? I see this in every thread and it's oddly specific to the new Doom game.

Yeah there is seriously about 5 or 6 minutes of total cutscenes in the entire game.

you are free to leave this thread Sup Forumsermin

They might be shills but they are not wrong. Weapon Mods like Micro Missiles and Double Super Shotgun do not slow down the gameplay at all. And they are awesome, and you can also not use them.

>people that grew up on old shooters like nudoom
>CoD babbies hate it

great argument fagtron

Didn't stop serious sam from having a fuck ton of enemies on screen, the HD version models were pretty detailed. Sams environments were much bigger albeit more barren in most cases. The first two games ran on the original xbox without cutting down the enemy count.

nice comeback faglord xD your mum tell you that one? xD

>ye?
>What like the old DOOM games?
What is this meme?

What I really want to know is how good the Red Elite guards (Dead guys) were at their job and how they are seen by the white guards (Possessed guys).

Also, during possession, it seems anything that is near the body becomes a part of them. Good if you were holding onto a BFG. Sucks for any UAC employee doing... "stuff"

Not an argument you failed abortion.

lmao your dad should have cummed on your moms face.

>caring about plot
>in a doom game

Go back to playing your beloved Cowadooty kid.

Those were last-gen games though. Doom really was focused on giving a lot of graphics to console kids who are into that.

Hey, the game doesn't care about it but has shit that is interesting.

Best plot is a vague plot that the game works with.

I felt the same way. The codex entries were actually interesting.

They're not talking about weapon mods, they're talking about the process of upgrading them (I assume, anyways). Menus are not fun.

Because it's very, very easy to tell if you've seriously played through the game or not or just sat through some shit youtube video to base your shitposting from.

How severe is their ADD if they can't focus for a 5 second upgrade menu?

How did they even start the game and sit through all those company logos?

Nu-doom is shit. Play the superior game Shadow Warrior 2.

what if I'm looking for a shooter not an ARPG?

Especially anything related to Doomslayer.

hmmm sounds like fucking doom

actually it sounds better than old doom because you don't have to constantly press your face against the walls to find secrets

You pretty much have to scour the level with a fine-toothed comb to find the levers that let you access old doom levels.

Shadow Warrior 2 have lots of GRAPHICS. Plays closer to Serious Sam games. But I am saying redundant shit, Serious Sam 3 already have GRAPHICS.

Then set it on lowes difficulty.

I guess the shilling wont stop until d44m gets some award at the cancerous Sup ForumsGAs. Not sure why else people would give this mediocre arena shooter so much overblown praise.

Because it's got a cooler vibe than any game in aeons

I hate SS with a burning rage hot enough to melt the sun

...

>What I really want to know is how good the Red Elite guards (Dead guys) were at their job
seeing that they're all fucking dead, not that good.

Set it on low-med difficulty and don't play co-op, that avoids "bullet sponge" problem, which isn't an issue in the first place if you get the best upgrades. Shadow Warrior 2 is faster than nu-doom and doesn't have garbage combat phase breaking forced glory kills / execution. Anybody that supports the retards at id software and bethesda should be gassed irl. Only interesting game they have is Quake Champions.

I love daily doom, zelda and uncharted hate threads

Olivia killed them when the invasion started with a killswitch, so who really knows how effective they would have been.

They died because some bullshit about the augments and shit in them were made to kill them outright when the demon wave bullshit happened so the demons wouldn't have any real resistance doing their shit.

...

no this doom is some fucking platformer
