In older id titles that was kind of a trademark thing - the grunting, etc. at lower health levels definitely something that is missing from Doom.

Yeah, like the original doom would have been great.

I can't say I've thought of the response when damage taken to be insufficient, though I do prefer the way it was done in the older id titles. Quake's "Arrrgh!" was pretty cool. :D

Well, this game is about moving, dodging etc. And in the frantic action, sometimes it's hard to keep an eye on the health bar. Like yesterday I was running through a room of badguys, dodging and weaving like a boss :p, or so I thought, I had full armor and full health going in. Didn't think I got hit once, next thing I got a low health warning.
 
Just in case anyone is interested, Game have the collectors edition for £50. I certainly wouldn't have paid the original £100 but I'd be very tempted at this price if I didn't already have the game.

Edit - actually apparently £45 with discount code IGN10OFF
 
Started uploading my very first play through's for those that are interested;

My videos aren't monetized so completely vacant of advertising!


Eventually I want to get into game reviewing, just using this as a platform to build confidence and network.

DOOM is dead easy compared to Serious Sam 3 BFE :eek: ......i'm getting absolutely slaughtered in the Arena fights, there's so many of them, i thought i'd play Serious again just to compare the 2 games :eek::eek:

DOOM is much more sophisticated, but Serious is far harder, i've never been attacked by so many monsters at once i'm really exhausted.

you cant tell when you're dieing as Sam either, there's just too much going on, the arenas in Egypt are massive but there's just so many of them and i'm nowhere near the end yet, because the last level is a total nightmare :eek::eek:

the guy playing this is using cheats because he's been killed at least 100 times on medium mode, i hate seeing this in videos

you did very well because DOOM is hard to play until you get used to controls, my aim was dreadful at first.

``the key to this game is to keep moving, never stand still``...........yes very true and in the really big fights later on, it's run off turn around and fire, and only get close for glory kills when the really big monsters are out of sight on the other side of the arena.

the worst one for health and damage is that that Mancubus that shoots Acid, he's a nightmare if you're low on health

Wish they would remake quake 3, now that was a good game.

yes, i'm a Serious fan and i'm looking forward to the 4th game, but replaying BFE tonight is very hard work, it really drains me.

Croteam has a tiny budget compared to ID, but it still has great graphics and Audio etc.

i think the best part of DOOM for graphics, combat and AI Balance are inside the Foundry near the beginning.
 
Hey folks,



We hope you’ve been enjoying your time playing DOOM! It’s been less than a month since launch, but the team at id Software has been hard at work preparing to deploy DOOM’s next game update, which will arrive later this month.



In the meantime, today we are releasing a multiplayer improvement update for DOOM. This includes rebalancing of some multiplayer weapons based on your feedback: the Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, and Combat Shotgun. This update will also reduce the wait time between matches to 60 seconds. Last but not least, Clan Arena and Freeze Tag will now require the winning team to complete 5 rounds in order to win the match. The multiplayer improvement update will begin today at 10:30 ET —this is a server-side update, and will not require a download, though it will require a server outage, which we anticipate will be about an hour. As always, we appreciate your feedback and we hope you’ll continue to let us know your thoughts.



For DOOM’s next game update, we will be releasing the patch notes later this month, which will include several improvements and features. We thought it was important to share some of those improvements with you now:



Added Photo Mode for taking in-game screenshots
Added Classic DOOM weapon placement/view model option (1st person view option)
Added new Snapmap features (including skybox windows) and AI pathing and logic fixes.
Fixed various bugs including players accidentally triggering Dev Mode and Trophy/Achievement bugs (IDKFA, Every Nook and Cranny).



These are just a few of the improvements and fixes coming later this month, but we wanted to provide an update as soon as we could. Thank you all for your continued support. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback. We hope you’re enjoying your time in-game and we can’t wait to share more with you soon.

lol I kind of broke the game - if you use one of those moving weapon upgrade drone things before you are supposed to it takes you for a ride through the level and if you wait long enough before making a selection dumps you somewhere beyond where you are supposed to be.

Yeah I had the same thing with one of them, it was moving away so I thought I had to access it quickly, got transported to a ledge up ahead and was somewhat surrounded by enemies.
 
There are secrets to be found, but no puzzle solving.

I am on the last boss now, mighty tough, I think it's the last one?

Spider woman thing

Was that after the return from Hell while chasing the pinky? possibly the same one - dumped me on a ledge the other side of the building up fairly high.
