qmaster - with doom 4 ur all like "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and with quake its all like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" hth
In all honesty, this DOOM game of which you speak looks incredibly high Spirited, as though I Kinn get killed easily. I czg rating is not possible as the gore is high. Still I vondur if it is as much fun and will build as long-lasting a community as Quake. I guess I'll Shambler on out to a store and buy it. Willem be sold out? Seems popular. Hope I can afford hrimtaxes they hike up nowadays. I'll stop worrying about which is better Than the other. I'll go Preach that Quake is awesome elsewhere, amd maybe add DOOM to the list of games I deem praiseworthy.
The pentagram is also briefly shown in DOOM: Behind The Music Part 2
https://youtu.be/1g-7-dFXOUU Mick Gordon seems really cool, although I play with the music turned off, so it's pearls before swine in my case. It would be nice to see a Linux version as well, but that's life.
It's DOOM4, a supposed throwback remake of glory gaming days gone by and you can't play the main campaign CO-OP?!? That's a no no buy for me. That's really the only main reason I haven't rushed out to buy it although I'm really not the type to rush or preorder anything. Definitely something to buy during a future Steam sale some day. Ah yes, with its lack of scripted events etc, what the fuck was the excuse to leave out SP campaign CO-OP ?
Qmaster Snapcrap co-op only... WTF! Seems like a major oversight for a Doom game.
I bet it can do it, but it's turned off in the engine so they can tout that as a new feature for the DLC coming in the future. Ugh! DLC, season pass...Godfucking damn them all...I'm waiting for its 2nd "gone gold" before touching it, arr.
Lack of coop was most likely due to performance constraints.
SnapMap shows that the game can only have 12 enemies simultaneously, which is a low number. Adding more players would force the game to lower the number of simultaneous enemies even more. At least the number of enemies is higher than in vanilla Doom 3 (which only supported up to 4 players in multiplayer, btw). Remember that this game isn't purely a classic Doom remake, it's a mix of classic Doom with Doom 3 (plus some new stuff). Features inspired by Doom 3, like the fully real-time lighting, does bring some constraints. The 12-active-enemies limit was probably the reason for the arena lockdown mechanics. The player must kill the demons for the engine to free some slots for spawning monsters in other areas.
I never quite understood the appeal. Something like L4D or Vermintide that is specifically designing for co-op makes sense and is really fun. But running through levels designed for SP with someone else is just... boring and clunky.
I think in order for D4 to make that work it would need a different campaign designed specifically for co-op, perhaps with specific new mechanics. I don't think you can hold it against id for not providing that. Bought it yesterday for Xbox One.
1) It's the same story format as all previous ones: one guy against a whole army from Hell. Where does co-op even fit there? 2) Glory kills. OMG. GLORY KILLS. So. Satisfying. >:) 3) Any tips on fragging efficiently the shield guys? Anyone? I'm dying (literally) to know... Offhand grenade thrown slightly behind them, plasma gun alt fire stun work well for those dudes.
