Doom - The Dark Ages (2025)

Don't need to you can do the ingame workaround which is fine.
I tried that but looked a bit too contrasted, not sure? The max nits are correct on the HDR analysis; just the floor that's off so figured I'd get more accuracy just doing that.
 
Just had a quick go this morning thanks to gamepass. It looks nice and all but Doom seems to be the same every time. Sprint around shooting monsters, rinse and repeat. Which whilst fun for a short time, I don't know how anyone could pay £50-£70 for this :p.
Thats been Doom since day one. Its always run, shoot monsters, reach the end. Id say theres a little more depth to the storylines on the later versions, but thats all Doom is still.

Only true Doom fans like and appreciate the game style.

I couldnt speak for the price as i play it via xbox game pass, though only on xbox as i dont have a pc with RT gpu and have only done a couple missions, but i havent completed a Doom game since the original pixel ones, however i wouldnt pay 50-70 for any game unless i really needed to. Personal preferences really.

true doom fans just want to run and gun with their choice of weapon till the ammo gets low then switch to another weap with no quick time events :P
 
Honestly wish you could skip all the cutscenes in Dark Ages, it's a load of nonsense. I don't care about all this Slayer rubbish. I just want to be a spacs marine again and shoot stuff :-p
warhammer bolt gun is epic its like old school doom and the second one is out next year, playeed the first one on game pass :)

Could do but perf impact plus it's not proper HDR then.
It may not be "proper" hdr but RTX hdr is just as good or better than a lot of "native" implementations. Performance hit will be a bit much though if you aren't already hitting a base 70+ fps

That is true for some games but not this one afaik. The only issue is the black floor.

I was seeing a lot of blown highlights with HDR last night, in the parts where you take down those ships with your dragon. So much so I had to turn HDR off because any adjustments to correct the exposure would ruin the image quality elsewhere.

These are the situations where RTX HDR beats the native implementation in some titles.
It won't blow out the highlights and tends to not raise the black floor as long as it's setup correctly.

Unfortunately with Nvidia's **** drivers it's broken at the moment when used with G-Sync so you have to pick RTX HDR or G-Sync.
It used to be fine, but the last few drivers have broken it and nothing, including DDU, will fix it :mad:

Hmm didn't see that problem personally but maybe I just didn't notice

I was thinking about the latest driver shenanigans last night. Nvidia had me doing mem tests and stuff because my system kept rebooting - I don't have time for that ****. Once they finally stabilised their drivers after 50 series release it all mysteriously stopped. Company is a bunch of greedy, incompetent idiots right now.
 
Got to chapter 8 now, it’s improved, getting extra guns is nice but mostly still have to use shield regardless.

I’ve been looking around maps still missed few secrets etc but they don’t actually add much not even lore so not an incentive to be arsed getting them really
 
Game being called a failure only having sold a million copies.

Must admit it doesnt appeal to me from looking at reviews, and I'd call myself a doom fan.
