doom is $39.99 this week at amazon, gamestop, and best buy ($32 at the latter with GCU) btw. If you buy the PC version you get a steam code and disc

Poo, i didn't know you get a steam code if you get it on PC. I would have opted for that instead of Xboner. I figured my poor xbox needed some love anyway though.

This game is pretty tough on the hard difficulty you can start on by default

Played the demo, but can only run at like 40 FPS. Time for a new GPU I guess.
I played it as well on PS4 and it all confirmed everything I already knew. A generic shooter without any soul whatsoever and should have been 19 bucks from the start. I then went and started playing Wolfenstein the New order and am having much more fun with a coherent story, great distractions in gameplay, and the same fluid gun mechanics.

Not sure if we were playing the same game Utnayan. Its been a long time since I've played a shooter that wasn't "realistic." It really was a breath of fresh air to run at mega speed and be able to physically dodge projectiles while fucking up demons.

Completely unapologetic old fashioned, fast paced, shooter that was actually challenging. Huge expansive maps/secrets. I thought it was amazing.

But to each their own I guess!

The game worked for me but if you are saying Wolfenstein the New Order is even better then I'll have to check that one out too. Thanks for the referral.

Wolfenstien New Order demolishes this game and also has the same gunplay mechanics you want. With an actual story, good characters, and a hell of a futuristic alternative universe. There isn't anything I cannot get out of the shit game that Doom was by not logging into Destiny for 10 minutes.

Wolfenstein: TNO was my GOTY when it came out, I beat it and literally instantly restarted on the hardest setting and played through it again over the next few days. I haven't played DOOM so I can't compare them though.

I have heard that they are actually redoing the multiplayer though, there were twitterings about it or something.

Bought Wolfenstein yesterday, was hoping to play it last night but Steam and my poor bandwidth took all night to download it, at work now but looking forward to it tonight!

Nice grabbed it from bestbuy, last physical copy I could find on the shelf too.

So the "disc version" is a single dvd that holds about 7GB of the 50ish. So you put in the disc it installs 7 GB from it then the rest from steam. Annoying as fuck but not even a little surprised.

Some of this game is pretty hilarious. Not even mentioning the silly fist bumping thing and the firey death sequence.

I had to stop and listen twice to one of those holograms when he asked for volunteers for the Revenant program (missile skeleton dudes). "Do you want to become more than a mere man? The Revenant program needs volunteers. If interested, please contact Jessica in HR. Thanks!" Fucking lol.

Then you read the database entry and find that the process includes surgically integrating rocket launchers/jetpack into your spinal column with no anesthesia followed by a neural implant while your wide awake. Then once they confirm that you have established a neural connection to the rocket launchers. Expose you with hell energy so your skin melts off and you become a zombie rocket soldier.

Me: playing the first hour or so (up to the intro cut scene, heh) wondering what the fuck you and Utnayen are smoking. Me: hit the opening "twist" and playing another hour, totally understands what the fuck you and Utnayen were talking about.

Yea, Wolf: NO is pretty damn amazing - reminds me I never played through the expansion after all this time....

Plays pretty smooth using flawless widescreen/nvidia surround, was messing with the graphic settings when I took this shot, most is maxed except shadows and AA. If I turn off DBAO and DBAO AA it is a steady 60FPS.

I messed around on Ultra-Nightmare last night and managed to beat the first level, had seen the notes. I do think I noticed a decent FPS improvement at my current high-but-not-maxed settings. I have a Radeon R290.

Bought this during the Steam sale. I haven't had a ton of time to play, but it's been a lot of fun. Thanks for the tip on Wolfenstein: NO, will have to check that out in the future.
