This game is like the Anti-Fuse
When the sequel/reboot avoids turning into generic crap just right
It pulled me away from UC, which I was very much anticipating. I've been playing it all weekend since Friday, and have about four chapters to go. The single player is the real deal. The secrets, challenges, runes, and difficulty options are all great too.
I'm really impressed by how it is just fucking Doom. When the game ramps up, and your weapons are fully loaded and upgraded, and you're flying around the map weaving through hell while laying waste to every demon that spawns . . . it's fucking great.
I haven't touched the mp yet. I'm bummed the season pass is mp content only.

I whole heartedly disagree. Lose the demons and load-outs, re-balance the weapons accordingly, give everyone permanent haste, re-code the game's multiplayer to use hosted dedicated servers instead of this P2P dumb-fuckery - no, seriously, fuck anyone who thinks this is OK in 2016 - lose the season pass, add in the music from the SP, and you'd be at "old skool fun". The demon's alone destroy any claims to "old skool". This is "Certain Affinity MP with Doom models" more than "Doom with new trappings". And it's sad, because its going to hurt the overall package, when the SP is the best shooter we've seen in years.
It's really strange how it seems being bought by Bethesda was necessary for them as a game developer, when it looke dlike it'd have been probably more bad than good after John Carmack left. But then he's more a code guy than a design guy anyway.
That's what I'm sayin'.

I called it one year ago that DOOM would be the Fury Road of video games. See this DoomWorld thread I made (which no one responded to lol);
https://www.doomworld.com/vb/doom-2...e-video-game-equivalent-of-mad-max-fury-road/
After having played the game, that comparison is spot on, especially since both Fury Road and DOOM provide a similar level of exhilaration that other films/games haven't done for me in a long time.

Forgot about that one..there was even leaked footage from it..
The prophet.
DOOM is on dedis. All it needs is a multi-mode that removes demons, loadouts, and makes weapons map spawns.
The twist is the game is an interactive documentary on what it is like to be in development hell.
Now watch this game get straight up 7s.
"Too little NPC interaction"
Game is amazing.
Now that we've had good returns from both Doom and Wolf, it's time for Quake to return. (Preferably finally going back to the Q1 setting.)
id didn't do Wolfenstein.

Wow, you are right. I've never seen this before
Man, doesn't this look just like Call of Duty? I mean seriously.
(Also remember the time when all games where just brown and grey?)

The gift that keeps on giving
I give this game a solid 0.00000044767/0.00000044767
I love it
I love it
I honestly can't tell you when they leaked. I want to say 3-4 years ago. It was still a last gen game.
I'm so happy that doom is the opposite of this video and way more colourful.

The only thing that stops this game from having a 10/10 from me is the multiplayer lags for me. Extremely annoying for me considering the beta was very smooth.
Watching that gameplay footage in comparison with the original gameplay reveal from E3 is shocking. Talk about doing a poor job of showing off what your game can really do.

The reviews are going to be all over the place and completely miss the point of the game. This was never supposed to be Doom call of duty and thank god for that!
One of the best compliments I can give this game is as a fan of Doom for 23 years and beating the first 2 countless times I I started playing this game and it felt like I was playing the original gameplay wise. The speed, and just the overall game is a prettier extension of the original. This is easily up there for GOTY contender for me.

Adding to the OP
seriously, look at how slow and lethargic this footage looks. I wrote the game off after seeing the E3 stage demo because, yeesh. A lesson on how not to show off your game.

Cool. This is a Halo 5 situation, where the game can use either. And most of the time its on P2P. Simple check: notice how the ping numbers changed from the beta into ping bars in the full release? Can't spot the player with zero ping anymore, which identifies the player-host, but it's still P2P most of the time.
Edit:
Agreed. I played a map where I was a raccoon, having to run around and feed trash to my baby imp-raccoon children so they don't starve to death. GOTY.

I got to Madagascar in Uncharted on Thursday and then Doom unlocked and I haven't touched or thought of Uncharted 4 since. lol
I managed to show off and convince 3 friends to buy the game and we've all been having a blast in SnapMap, which besides the campaign, is a terrific mode with a ton of possibilities and big time sink. I haven't even had a chance to try multi yet.

Jesus, where does Doomguy tuck that away when he's not using it!?
Hell yeah it is!
yes it was aimed towards a modern call of doomy...and it was grey and brown also this new doom had some same color scheme but they changed it up thank god for the better being more striking in color like the older dooms.
Hmmmm, interesting, seeing as how I disliked the beta.
I'll add it to my list, then.
Bethesda also managed to not show off Wolfenstein well. They don't seem to get what actually makes their games fun.

Actually kind of excited for this. Not going to buy it just yet though, too much to play right now, will probably wait till I get my 1080.

If Polygon will give the game a low score they'll get ripped apart lol.

This is probably what we're going to see with the next installment. Probably Doom: Hell On Earth?

Small correction:
After you get the Super Shotgun, your regular Shotgun will gather dust until the end of the game. Hell Knight? Super Shotgun. Revenant? Super Shotgun. Pinky? Super Shotgun. Cacodemon? Fuck it, Super Shotgun, they fly right at your face in this game anyways.
Baron of Hell? Well, okay. Rocket Launcher or Railgun for that. Those fuckers hurt.

Everyone who loves old school shooters should buy this game
I still used the regular shotgun to put imps into stagger, and clear out smaller groups with the alt-fire nade.
It's just proof that the Super Shotgun is still the best shotgun in video games.

Rip and tear, until it's done
True, but I really like the grenade launcher upgrade for the regular shotgun.
