Doom (2016)

Wow. I was 11. I played it on a 386SX-20 with 4mb ram and it wasn't playable.

I get my CE tomorrow, but I'm not even unboxing it till my day off on Wednesday, I cannot wait!

 

Oops! You are correct sir. I was thinking of Wolfenstein, the original one. I had an AMD 486-40 when I played Doom.

Getting old I guess... Ha!

 

Now that one ran great on my 386SX! And the expansion, The Spear of Destiny. It wasn't till I upgraded to a Pentium 66 in 95 that I really was able to get into and finish Doom.

 

We ran doom on our 486 DX2 (20mhz!), we had to upgrade to a pentium I to get duke 3d working though.

 

Don't date yourself now!

Eh, I don't mind. I am 51 years old and still play around with this stuff.

Back on topic. I bought Doom on Steam today and downloaded it. I have yet to play it.

 

looks like the fov doesn't affect the fps. i cranked it to 120 and it's still buttery smooth.

 

I can run it at 1440p on high and get excellent results

 

Totally hooked on this game. Played it for 16 hours now, around 9 hours the story mode and the rest multiplayer. Doom was one of my first PC games that I played when we had a PC at home and it always held a special place in my memories.

The pacing and intensity is very similar but there isnt a lot of maze like backtracking involved unfortunately. I also would have liked to see some more maps in general but the multiplayer makes up for it.

The game runs and looks great too.

I like the direction that they took with this game, the same goes for Wolfenstein the new order. Oldskool gameplay in a new skool coat. Kinda got tired of all those COD like shooters.

 

Cool, I haven't started on the MP yet. I think I've almost finished the campaign.
The MP is going to have to be pretty good to drag me away from Unreal Tournament alpha though.

 

If i must name the online gameplay then i call it quake2/3 like. But with loadouts. Have mixed feelings about that. It cured the problem of everyone racing towards the rocket launcher. But they also could have fixed that by letting weapons stay on the floor even after pickup just like UT.

Killed the Cyberdemon last night. I was happy to discover it wasn't the end of the campaign

I keep forgetting I acquired the BFG though.

 

I was wondering about this game but will it run on a older system that was made back in 2004 since this game is like Doom 3? Or do you need a high end system to play it? I know that Doom 3 play on a Intel Celeron N2830 processor with Intel HD graphics fine but will it do the same on this game? It looks like the same game to me and graphics on the pics.

 

anyone notice, especially when strafing left and right, that its silky smooth but about 2 seconds after strafing or walking everything starts to get this "jutter". Stare at an object, then strafe, and it will move smoothly then go into a stuttering( barely noticeable) effect. It drives me nuts but I am sensitive to this stuff.

 

Yes I noticed that. I'm sensitive to those kinds of things too. You're not crazy. It's only when walking on some materials. I thought it was intentional.

 

Thanks God its not only me. Its driving me nuts. Makes the game feel like its running at 25 fps sometimes even though I'm at a solid 75(vsync). Looking around is smooth, but any walking after 2 seconds and boom jitter time

 

I haven't noticed it since the early part of the game in the foundry. I'll have a check again next time I play.

 

Its everywhere in multiplayer also, it has to be a game engine issue. most people will never notice it

 

Something weird happened earlier, I was playing just fine before I got to the Vega level, 65-70 FPS on Ultra settings, but once I went outside into the icy part, my FPS dropped like a rock to sub-30 FPS. I had to switch my graphics settings to low which instantly locked 75fps, then I put everything back to ultra, and performance went back to normal. Anybody notice something similar?

 

when you said vega I instantly assumed you were running some unreleased AMD stuff, lol either way I haven't gotten that far yet.

 

Hmm, OK, well let me know if it freaks out on you like it did me. Maybe it just did it because I did a vBIOS mod and am experimenting with overclocking.

 

Still enjoying the game. My only gripe is I can't In-Home stream the game to my Link or Surface Book... just gets a black screen.

Seems it's a known bug on AMD hosts.

Otherwise, having a blast!

 

I started over because I passed up one of the upgrade drones. Mistakenly thought I was swapping out the upgrade instead of obtaining another one I could switch between and passed one up early on. I was like woe is me I'll play the first couple levels again *grin*.

A complete Doom walkthough on Ultra Nightmare. Sick!

 

Playing a lot of online now but i notice i come across the same players often. Seems there arent a lot of players online I guess. Too bad because it is mad fun. Especially for veteran gamers that are used to these speeds from the Quake 1,2,3 and UT days.

 

Well I've noticed it runs pretty poorly in general on my GTX 860M. It can't hold 60 fps very consistently even at 50% scaling of 1920x1080 and the Low detail preset. So that's like 960x540 resolution and it's still too much for it. Yikes.

I also play the game on a desktop GTX 970. It screams on there. I can run Ultra at 2560x1440 and maintain a fairly solid 60 fps.

Double-post, because NBR is like molasses in January lately.

 

Sick!

 

Too much to drink again?

RIght up my alley this music. I creat emusic in the same genre. So it is nice to see getting this style some recognition. Called djent metal.

sick
Origin:
Old English sēoc ‘affected by illness’, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch ziek and German siech
...
Word Trends:
A common trick of slang is to invert meanings, so that seemingly negative words are used as terms of approval — bad and wicked are two established examples, with positive uses dating back to 1897 and 1920 respectively. Sick is a more recent arrival, first seen as a US synonym for ‘excellent’ or ‘very impressive’ in 1983: it was a sick party and there were tons of cool people there . It is particularly common in skateboard and snowboard culture, where it can be used to imply an element of risk and danger: Shawn is a badass skater. He busts some sick tricks

Anyway, apparently that guy also did Wolfenstein TNO. I knew he sounded familiar! It had some awesome tunes, main theme being one of the most epic pieces of music in FPS games:

 

If you haven't already decided, let me help you. If you don't enjoy it, there's something wrong with you, LOL. I'm over 50 and love it to death. Being old doesn't mean you have to limit your fun. I'm sure Brothers @johnksss and @Thumper_23 will agree with me on that.

Along with the Crysis and Wolfenstein franchises, Doom franchise is the bedrock of PC gaming. While the engine doesn't support SLI, Vulkan support should add it, and honestly... it doesn't matter. It's too stinking awesome to care.

I don't have much spare time for gaming, but I spent about an hour last night and went to bed around 2AM just to get a little bit of fun time in. It doesn't get any more fun than this, bro.

You are the coolest 50 year old i have had the pleasure of knowing, even if its online lol.

 

Doom is one of the better shooters I played in years. Great experience and executed almost flawlessly. The only gripe I have in the game is that most enemies are teleported into the "arena". I loved the old doom for its beforehand positioned enemies to give the map a more populated feel. But that is simply nitpicking.

Saying that as a 31 year old dude

 

Doom totally met my expectations which were high. I love how unapologetically visceral it is. Also no gumby training missions for hours before it let's you hold a weapon was delightful.
They really got it right for my tastes too.

 

Talking about the music the theme for the cyber demon has 666 and pentagrams in the music if you put it in a frequency vs time chart

 

promotional material to attract SJW + bible thumpers?

 

I want prepared to be excited over this, but after reading and watching reviews, I am. And my first Doom experience was the first game on a 486.

I don't think that means what you think it means.

 

oops

 

Please, do elaborate.

 

Sorry guys... this is a rental game.

It is indeed fun... for the 10-ish hours you will spend on the single-player on the hardest difficulty and the 30 minutes of frustration you spend on multiplayer wondering how they could screw up multiplayer so badly.

It isn't worth $60... not sure I'd pay even $40 for the nostalgia. $20ish... maybe if you haven't rented it.

 

Yeah. It's OK fun. It's a run n gun shooter. I think it's interesting but as of now simply a decent single player game with MP with not a lot of substance.

 

10 hours for a single player FPS is actually quite long these days. I took 12 hours to beat the campaign and now I'm going back and forth between the MP (which I'm enjoying) and finding all the secrets and Doom/DoomII maps, which is going to get me probably to at least 30 hours. That's about $2/hr of value - WELL worth it for me, really cheap entertainment. Music is ~$1.60/3-5m, movies are $8-12/1.5-2hr and both are terrible entertainment value.

 

damn it, the game hard crashed on me!

 

Let's add some perspective:
-Doom (2016) = 11 hours and that is being nice.

-Dark Souls 3 = 200+ hours and still playing (single player + multiplayer PvE and PvP)
-Fallout 4 = 140+ hours and haven't touched the DLC yet (single player only)
-TitanFall = 60+ hours... granted pretty much done with this game now (multiplayer only)
-Destiny (PS4) 80+ hours (single + multiplayer)
-Bloodborne (PS4) 160+ hours (single + multiplayer)
-The original Doom = massive uncounted hours playing multiplayer. (and it was far from perfect)
