Did you know one of the main designers/engineers of Crysis 1 was a lead engineer for DOOM?
There's probably a reason you liked Crysis 1 AND Doom......
If anyone wants this game greenmangaming has it for 40% off +20% with code JULY20 - for a total of $28.79 Steam version.
Picked this game up as the collectors edition with the statue from Amazon's prime day sale for $80. Since the base game was selling for $30 that day on Amazon, I figured the statue was worth the $50 extra.
Beyond that manager to play the first 6 missions this weekend and enjoyed the game immensely. I have a few criticism, but overall I really like the game. Glad they went back to the pulse pounding action packed overload fighting style of the original DOOM and DOOM 2. The thematic/horror slower paced design setup of DOOM 3 I really didn't like for the series. While I don't mind games like that as I love Resident Evil which is the same as that, I am playing DOOM for different play style for a reason.
That being said, the reboot of DOOM I have some solid criticisms for. First is the RPG aspect of it. I don't mind RPG aspects in a game, but tying said aspect progression to the puzzles and finding of all secrets every mission is just plain dumb. I hate having to spend every mission backtracking all around to make sure I get everything. Because if I don't then I'm just hurting my progression and making things harder for myself as the game goes along. DOOM 1 and 2 had secrets and puzzles and fun stuff, but they were never mandatory to do/find. The DOOM reboot makes those things mandatory and it's annoying. Speaking of mandatory, I hate the forced fighting sequences sometimes. Don't get me wrong though. I love the big fights, but I hate being forced to stay in a room and wipe out everything before I can leave that room. That is definitely not the spirit of the original DOOM games. If I wanted to run I could in those games. There wasn't a need to clear out every level either. The current game makes it mandatory to clear out all the baddies on almost every level and that bugs me.
Still the story, general action based gameplay, graphics, and music are fantastic overall. Which, despite the annoyances I have about the game, makes me overall pleased with my purchase.
Well I finished the game tonight. Played on Hurt Me Plenty, so it wasn't really difficult at all.
I picked up the boxed copy at Target for $35 a few weeks back. STEAM says I've played 15 hours in all, so all-in-all probably about 14 hours of game time.
Long story short, I really enjoyed it, and I wasn't sure I was going to at first. But once I realized (and I'm not sure why it took me so long to adjust to this) that this was the closest spiritual successor to the original DOOM games they could make, I really began to enjoy it and have some nostalgic, mindless, "turn off your brain" fun.
I'll echo what HumblePie said up there: I'm not a big fan of the overdone "Enter large room, trash rock starts, demons begin teleporting in like mad, kill every single one, music stops, door opens for you" gameplay mechanic. A handful of times, fine, but this is essentially the meat and potatoes of the game. Luckily, it's still a blast, and blowing the hell out of every nasty thing that comes your way while running around like a maniac is always a hoot, it just got a touch too predictable and overused I felt, especially in the later levels.
I just felt that killed the organic feeling of monsters populating the facility/hell world that you felt in the original games, where certain rooms would just be packed, while others were sparsely populated, and everything in between. And you weren't forced to kill everything.
I also had a few issues with audio randomly cutting out or partially dropping, and a handful of CtD issues. But on the technical side for the most part, the game ran flawlessly and fast on my system in my signature at max details. Definitely a very pretty game to look at.
All in all though, I definitely enjoyed it, and got my money's worth. If I had to rate it, I'd give it a solid 8.5 out of 10. :thumbsup:
Game is WAY too easy at Hurt me Plenty...
A little byte of coding requested here gentlemen
Seems in my rush to save the world I overlooked the super shotgun and find the single barrel slightly less engaging if you kno what I means. So is there a code to give it to me without starting over ?
