I'm sure you could easily run this on ultra with a clocked 1070 @ 1440p 60+ fps. It's really not that demanding. 3570k won't be an issue either.

It's not a good game. It's boring, bland and a massive step back for FPSs.
How you are all gushing over this is beyond me.

No issues here; really loving (reminiscing) Doom, it runs like a charm!

Expand then?

Lacks atmosphere
Boring gameplay (too simple)
Isn't scary (not sure if it's meant to be, but Doom 3 was very creepy)
Lacklustre level design
Where are the characters? Story? Immersion?
I do like the music, and the sound effects.

ok so an hour and a half to download lets go

Took me 36hrs to download
Yeah because doom games are well known for their "alas poor yorick" storyline and characters. Its simple fast paced fun, that's really all there is to it.

Clearly you've either missed a beat and never played Doom/Quake 2 as a youngster, or you are currently a youngster so wouldn't know any better anyway!
Doom 4 is a throwback to the old school shooters where you had to fight your way through using your head rather than being spoon fed everything by the game and quick saving at every corner.
Many gamers are loving it because it genuinely is an excellent classically focused campaign shooter without compromise on what makes this type of shooter great.
It has great gameplay, great music, great action, lots of weaponry that you need to switch around to make progress and some RPG elements to perk up weapons.

Well 4hrs in and I am enjoying it but having one comical but very frustrating problem. First time I started the game up the main menu music was super fast (I thought it was a very weird choice of soundtrack at first), then all in game sounds were mega fast including background music, guns sounded like ''pew pew''. I reverted back to windows 7 and it worked fine . . . . Anyways, 4hrs in and I start the game up and its doing it again. I'm using on-board sound and no other game has ever acted like this. Really annoyed as I am enjoying it.
Watching some gameplay on the youtube channel "mackscorner", this is the same guy who does the "worthabuy" reviews. Starting to wonder how much of a clue he actually has about games after watching him play this. He's playing and has a load of stuff unbound (and for some reason acting like its the games fault), doesn't like to do glory kills (and apparently those are why its "consolised", he also has some really weird key setups for them). Just seems odd that someone who seems informed on other videos doesn't seem to have much of a clue about this. Spends about 5 minutes gibbering about the mouse sensitivity before even moving out of the room you wake up in. Only about half an hour into his first video on this but be interesting to see if he figures it out.
ed: 31 mins in he finally figures out glory kills get you ammo and health...

I've watched a good few of his vids and he seemed dead on about them and well informed, with this though its like he's playing it and nit picking over everything possible, how he managed to have so many controls unbound is a head scratcher. He has 2 vids up so far..maybe part 2 he actually has some points.

I thought he was funny in his mp analysis of doom... But he just missed a secret there iirc...and just wants to hate in the game...plus his skills are rubbish and I thought I was bad lol.
He also disses glory kill in vid one then changes his mind in vid 2
Just a YouTube hit noob IMO.

Bet you're gutted there's no cover system or perks too.
That makes no sense. What relation does a cover system and perks have to the things he mentioned that are lacking
. They are nothing to with story, characters or immersion. Plus this game does kinda have perks, with all the different weapon mod and suit upgrades.

Simple is the word alright. If this wasn't DOOM you lot wouldn't give this a second thought. It's OK though..because it's bringing back gameplay elements/styles from 20 years go! Cool.
Using your head? Are you really putting that much thought to get through this game? I don't need spoon feeding...and lack of it in this case doesn't make it a better game for it.
And 'excellent classically focused'...translates as simple.
