There's Something Not Quite Right About The New DOOM
Quote:
Inspired by the great shooters of the 90’s sounds like a great feature. But so far it hasn’t worked. Even the new Unreal Tournament is struggling to find the right formula.
Gamers, it seems, are crying out for something new. Problem is, DOOM doesn’t do that.
Borderlands-style damage numbers. Two weapons, plus one item, per class. An entire server of people running around with a rocket launcher — as a secondary weapon — that takes at least two or three good shots for a kill. Which doesn’t launch people a great height.
The super shotgun feels like a misnomer, too. It’s less of a show-stopper and more like the starting shotgun from the original Quake. Good in a pinch, and capable of finishing an opponent off when they’re low. But super? Hardly.
So, I tried the DOOM Beta over the weekend on PC....my PC just is not even remotely strong enough to run this game, so it did not go well. But it was a fun presentation to play through.
Damn the steam reviews are pretty bad. Did the Beta include any single player missions?
I played some this weekend and it was a bit...underwhelming. I would describe it as Quake Lite. You pick your loadout at the start of the match (or when you die) so there is no scramble for weapons. The hack modules give minor enhancements over your competitors so it's not pure skill that wins an encounter. Double-jump is now with jetboots so the long jumps are easy, and if you faceplant into a ledge you can now climb up.
Not sure if it will ever be a proper eSport arena game because of these points.
Oh well, the idea of a new Doom was to good to be true. Cancelled my Halo pre-order.
There is a lot wrong with the game...
Rocket launcher damage is far too low, I suspect it's because they give it to you as a class/start up item instead of it being a weapon pick up. 2 hit direct kill or 4 hit splash damage kill not 6-8 shots.
No weapon pick ups except for special weapons.
Weapon pick ups are essential, so they really need to fix this.
The "super shotgun can take up to 6 shots to kill someone...not very super to me...
The hack mods system is rubbish, they've over-complicated the game (This isn't cod for the love of all that is holy), doom doesn't need to be complicated...Guns, run, shoot, kill the end.
The demon/s are fine as they are, they can only spawn 3 times in a round and can be taken down easily if a team focuses on it.
The teams are far too small. Needs to be 10v10 minimum. The maps are small and on many occasions I've run around looking for things to frag....
No dedicated servers at this point which is a HUGE no no, twitch fps needs low latency. People are saying there will be dedicated servers at launch so for now I'll let it slide.
The movement is too slow and doesn't feel as fast as say UT2004 which I would say is the yardstick.
I can already see them selling player/weapons skin dlc.
The game has very little that I like...I doubt anything will change though as it seems most of my complaints are core parts of the game (The weapon loadout rubbish).
Damn...
#MuchDisappoint
Only got to play an hour or two this weekend.
They tinkered with the Quake 3 Arena formula, but it was pretty fun, I thought :P
While I did not get to play, by watching live streams I did notice a lot of people had custom skins, a la Call of Duty. I saddens me that cosmetic DLC is pushed so hard in some games. Make cosmetics free and add something that it worth the money. I do believe that skins is the only DLC they could really add due to the balance issues anything else would bring.
I also noticed that almost everyone had a rocket launcher at one stage and it became RA instead of TDM/DM.
Wasnt bad, though I agree with The Joker on the rocket launcher, super shotgun and ded server. I think the best of the package will be the single player. Its just strange that id Software has said so little about it.
I have a strong suspicion that Doom will either make or break id Software.
Anyway, I have pre-ordered it a while and still happy I did.
Since I was one of the bunch that reviewed it as a really bad game, here's why:-
It appeals to the COD players and Halo players.
You have two guns you set in your load out(With skins, with additional wtf abilities), once again a game you need to spend time to unlock the other weapon(So no point when people can sink more time into it).
Not as fast pace as I would have hoped, if they gave me wolvenstien movement I would have been happy. It's so clunky I really wasn't happy.
At times, I was able to fire the rocket, run up to the player and melee them, then the rocket hit me.
The monster breaks the game, especially when the person who plays more than you, runs for Quad damage, then gets monster item.
Most players will down play it saying you can get quad damage and hurt the monster. "Ok but he has the quad damage?"
The automatic gun was stupid, running behind a enemy doing 9 damage was f*cking stupid.
Literally running behind an enemy hitting him with every shot only to be killed by two players shooting rockets at you.
Rocket stupid, 55 damage!
Sniper rifle stupid, if you don't charge it 15 damage, if you charge it 45 damage (Bare in mind headshot's mean nothing).
Melee is the best weapon.
I will get it only for the SP when its below R200, not going to waste my money.
Sorry my rage is showing in this post, but the name and the delivery of the product has made me real upset.
*sigh* Please stahp...

no mod support? I didnt know that... I knew about snap map, but thought/hoped that would be just a simple version and it would support modding for more advanced devs like every single Doom has before. What the fuck is gaming turning into...
Why no details about single player?
Gaming IMHO can almost be summed into before CoD and After CoD. Changed with with LAN servers and modding getting the shaft.
But, Doom isnt out yet, just gotta control that hype train going out of control in my head... DOOM BABY!
Single player is looking really good...just not sure if I'm willing to spend R800 on it...
