No one is buying Doom for multiplayer. It's all about shoving a double barrel shotgun in a demon's face. ;D

Thanks for sharing, I was wondering if you'd be picking it up or not..

I'm not touching this with a bargepole because (insert uninteresting, elitist opinion that nobody asked for here). If you had half a brain, plebian scum, you'd buy (other game that's likely very good, but doesn't have MURDEROUSLY SHOTGUNNING THE HELL OUT OF DEMONS WHILST CIRCLE STRAFING in it) instead.

It's an old school shooter. You never have to reload. I'm in.

Great quote from YouTube comment:

In a ordinary First Person Shooter you'd wait for an NPC to use a keycard or a terminal to hack a locked door. Then you'd proceed through a corridor, killing as many Muslims and/or Russians possible with your boring standard M16 and Beretta M9. Doing this will successfully end terrorism forever.
In Doom you grab a bloody corpse and slam their f**king faces into an eye scanner, ready your old double barrel shotgun, spin up your chainsaw and reload your light machine gun the size of a Honda Civic. Sure, you'd walk around corridors, but they are filled with satanic alien demons, all ready to mutilate you in 26 different ways.
... Why you ask? We don't really know, we don't really care. Neither should you, I mean did you even listen to me? Here's a shotgun, go kill some demons, we promise you'll have really fun!

Already pre ordered this bad boy. Can't wait. Looks awesome and brutal

Wasn't at all a fan of the beta. It's by no means bad, just a distinctly average take on the current flavour of the month-type "FPG with RPG elements". Fun for a couple of hours but not much after that.

My advice would be to put an extra tenner in and pre-order Overwatch. A very modern take on a TF2 objective-style FPS. Butter smooth engine, great artistic style and very finely balanced mechanics. I reckon any FPS fan would get more than their monies worth from that.

thought it was posted before http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/doom-pc-22-39-with-code-doom666-cdkeys-2439452

who expired it...?

I am not touching this. Will pick it up bargain basement in 3 months.

interesting.... A current discussion going on at neogaf as all review co[ies have been withheld until release day....

General consensus seems to be leaning towards the SP being poor

Awww

Is this still popular? I used to play this when I was at school.

As nice as it looks, the gameplay doesn't seem worth even £23. Probably a short game too I'll bet.

ordered for £20 on ebay for ps4 using spare £10 voucher. Quick run through then sell at no loss :smiley:

As someone who has played every Doom game... i really don't think this is Doom anymore. All that super fast pace movement and jumping around makes it so Unreal Tournament

I wish I could 'like' this comment more than once. :smiley:

Cheers, ordered. Couldn't resist.

Looking forward to this. For anyone thinking of buying a new motherboard or monitor I see Asus have a promotion on selected lines at the moment with a free download of Doom! Not bad if you're thinking of upgrades / buying new system in next few months as the redemption offer runs until July. http://www.asus.com/event/2016/rog/doom/

Oooh and I just bought Herro/Alpha board, will be here on 17th. :smile:

One thing that concerns me is that theyre only releasing review copies on launch day, not reviews but the actual review copies they use to make the review.

Im only in it for sp but that kind of behaviour is unusual and leaves me concerned, which is a shame because i really want a new doom/doom style sp game.

Thanks for sharing, I was wondering if you'd be picking it up or not..

Withholding review copies certainly sets off my alarm bells. You may want to hold off until after release, see if Bethesda had a reason for doing so.

My copy came last night, two days early (thanks SimplyGames!).

I've given it a quick whirl for an hour or so and... it feels like Doom. The fast pace and simple, adrenaline-pumping gameplay of the originals mixed with the aesthetic of Doom 3 (more or less).

It's straight into the action with very little in the way of story so far, but at the same time there have been a couple of hints of doing something fairly interesting that may tie the story of this game back into the earlier ones (or may not, who knows).

Oh, and the sound design is ace - a modern update of the old games, both in terms of the jagged music and the sfx (remember that feeling of dread when you suddenly hear an imp hiss out of nowhere? That's back.) In fact, there's a real sense that this has been made for Doom fans of old, above all. (Is it sad that I felt a nostalgic thrill when I realised I had to find a blue keycard?)

There have been some innovations though - there's a 'glory kill' system that lets you perform special takedowns on enemies that are close to death (in return for extra health) and there's more weapon modification than I remember in a Doom game before.

At its heart though it seems to be pretty focused on making you keep moving at all times and have to be ready for a fight at any moment. Which is as it should be. :smiley:

Use code CDKDOOM2OFF for £21.99 added to OP

Do the cutscene kills ruin the flow of action or is it still fast?

I can't buy this in good faith because there's too many questionable things like the badly recieved, outsourced multiplayer (lowering replay value - and likely the price quite quickly) but 21.99 for it is still a steal either way, so have some heat for that.

Cheers!

It's still fast, and the glory kills are made an integral part of the game as executing them makes the baddies release more health and ammo (which you really need). They're not just for show.

Bought it a couple of hours ago with the DOOM666 code... well, it´s only 40p

It's super slow and boring. Just look:

Ok that video looks and plays nothing like the beta from a few weeks ago. I'm interested again!

Yep that's why i never judge a game on seeing the multi-player more so the doom mp beta i thought it was poor... for me doom is all about SP and by what i am seeing all ready its looking rather good but only time will tell

For anyone still on the fence

I played a little of it tonight and I like it. It's just pretty simple point and shoot action but it looks gorgeous and the optimisation is excellent. It feels totally different to the horror style of doom 3.

Not at all, I have to admit smiling a bit when I heard that old theme tune pumping out on the opening sequence. :smile:

44GB - that's a few DVDs - or a few hours on ADSL :-)

Doom is the videogame equivalent of an 80s metal video. And we love it for that.

Reviews are starting to come in now. Very positive so far. It's been interesting to see the Steam reviews suddenly U-turn so quickly after the game's release.

I've only had chance to give it 5 minutes so far but it was 5 minutes of joy running, leaping and climbing around blasting imps with a shotgun and ripping various bits of them off.

It feels right. :smile:

​Preloading via Steam last night DL'd in about 1hr 15 over BT Infinity, not too bad for 44GB

Ordered! In the market for a new PC as soon at the 1080 arrives at the end of the month so i'll bank my steam code for now and resist the temptation of getting on PS4. The recent Vulcan 1080 footage showcased the true potential of this game maxed out at over 200fps - so it'll be worth the wait.

Ordered, great price, thanks for posting. 24hr download for me, finishes at 8pm tonight. Reviews on steam look incredibly positive.

Expired. £23.33 with code now and cheaper elsewhere

this game is awesome on SP

Cheers! Actually forgot all about Doom until today and had to quickly look around for a deal. Ignoring all reviews, but something positive caught my eye, so am hoping for a fun weekend blasting through the singleplayer. <3

Yup, code has now expired.

​Well that looks great. I'm in.
