Anyone playing the new DOOM game?

[ghostryder]

Reviews are very good if this is your type of game. It's not mine but most say it's a true DOOM game unlike DOOM 3. Voice acting very good, lots of action, etc

A somewhat lukewarm Initial Impressions from Rock/Paper/Shotgun.  They do stress it is initial impressions only and not a full end-game review.https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/05/13/doom-pc-review/

I am a tad curious but it is too pricey for me right now. Never having played any of the originals (other than watching over buddies' shoulders in high school) I would probably enjoy this new one. But there are a ton of other titles coming out soon that I am more interested in.

I watched some videos, it certainly seems more doom like then the big pile of crap that was doom3. Still wont be getting it until it gets a big sale. I did see it for $38 at cdkeys i believe, but still since i probably wont do much multiplayer i'll wait until it hits a 75% sale.

I watched 14 minutes of this and if I'm totally honest, I found out way before the 14th minute that is wasn't for me.

**sorry - had forgotten to include the link to the video I watched**

It doesn't look graphically as good as I thought it might. The blur in movement is diabolical. The "you can jump here but not here" mechanic is going to really infuriate after a while.

The commentator made me laugh with the statement "The Glory kills are pretty great...a little bit repetitive...but they're pretty sweet". Mate - if they are repetitive in 14 minutes, wtf do you think they'll be like in 2 hours? 

I seem to be one of the few that actually like the last Doom game (Doom 3?) - though I admit it had a few issues and I dropped it like a hot brick when I got off Mars and into hell. The original was just legendary and gave me huge amounts of gameply both single player and LAN play.

No coop campaign...no thanks.

I played the free weekend with some friends.  Its not my kind of game, but with beer and my buddies it was a good time.  But that isn't saying much because...with beer and buddies almost anything is fun.

I'm in once it hits a sale.

I watched this

and I was so surprised I remembered some of those levels. It was a superb game back in the day (couldn't play it now though)

If someone mods the stages from the original into the new Doom, I'm pretty much buying it that day.

Duke Nukem was always so much better.   ;)

Just saw the commercial during the Stanley Cup playoffs.  "Best shooter of the year," Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

When I was on Kinguin buying Hearts of Iron IV yesterday I saw this at £28. I was sorely tempted because, regardless of what I think about what I've seen, it seems to be getting some stellar right ups. So I was thinking maybe it could be fun from a purely visceral perspective...you know, a fire up, blow shite up and exit, drained of energy...


Where the hell is Jarhead. He MUST have it by now?

I really liked Doom 3, it was dark and full of tension, had campaign coop...this new Doom might be closer to the originals, but to me it looks totally uninteresting with the color coding of the enemies, perks, constant melee animations, too bright areas and constant rushing.
