Soon. Been loving the hell out of Doom, but its also making me crave some TNO and Old Blood, even though they play very differently. They're both high impact and reward mobility.
Congratz to Machine Games! Hopefully they are ready unveil what they are working on during this E3.
That choice determines what kind of upgrades you can find on the maps [permanent health vs armor upgrades], very small story changes, and the presence of a single NPC [both are great].
I chose Fergus to live on my 1st playthrough, and he was GREAT during campaign. Wyatt is ok-ish after he survives, but his NPC is better than the other one.

Wtf. This game is actually pretty awesome.
Is Doom as good a revival as this?

I personally didn't like Doom.
I loved the Originals but the new one felt flat. I need to give it another chance but I feel its just tryinbtoe hard.
I was more impressed with the New Order and the Old order.
Pick up the Old Order if you haven't. It gets silly halfway through but overall was a great game.
New Order and Old Order are the best single player FPS this gen so far for me.
Doom is focused on different things.
W:TNO is a modern successor of Half Life, an amazing singleplayer narative game that did not compromise on gameplay, worldbuilding, charachters, or anything else.
Doom on the other hand... is a shotguns and cyberdemons with a pacing of a Fury Road on crack.Gameplay to the max, with suprisingly good story that is not shoved in the face of the player.
Both represent the different kind of FPS game, and both are marvellous. We also recently got the the third kind of FPS [totally stealth & exploration focused] that stands shoulder to shoulder with them, Alien Isolation.

Are you honestly getting Half Life 2 vibes from this game? Half Life 2 has a more serious tone and more depth in character development. Wolfenstein is so over the top with its nazi stereotypes and its execution that you can't take it seriously. I recently finished the game to be honest my own impression was that the storyline is hot garbage but the game isn't taking itself too seriously . Between TNO and TOB the main character just gets captured and violently tortured over and over again. You would think after the third time he gets away they would learn their lesson.
Completed this game.
Too many video cutscenes.
Too many fetch quests.
Unsatisfying ending.
Press button to pick up items was annoying as fuck. I thought I was playing Bioshock Wolfenstein edition.
Difficult enemies were all bullet sponges. After playing Halo games (especially most recent one), this seems like a stepback as players don't have any visual feedback whether they're doing something right or wrong.
I thought combat felt awkward on a controller. I hated the rotational weapon UI as I had to plan out combats with two weapons first and then scramble to find a third/fourth weapon since the game doesn't pause nor slow down. Peek around the corner didn't really do well as I just abused it to win against a terribly programmed AI.
PC version has odd bugs like cutscene dialog not in sync when game is alt tabbed at least once in game.
Soundtrack was hit or miss.
I think I'll find Doom 2016 much enjoyable.
I appreciate elements of the original Wolfenstein 3D used in boss fights and some enemy designs + sounds. Even enjoyed the little easter egg in the clubhouse although disappointed at the enemy shooting was not faithful to the original.

No prob for bumping.
As far as I know, FPS limit change was introduced by this new mod

Bought this as it was only a few quid on the PSN.
Loving it so far. Just done the 1st chapter. Sound mix is awful though, especially on the PS headphones. Can't hear mush of the voice acting which I've heard is pretty good.

Enjoy it, you have passed the most bland stuff in the game. Now the real greatness begins.
Yeah, they could have done that better.

Just finished it, what a game.
My only complaints are the enemy ai (played on normal, don't know if they are smarter on higher difficulties) and having to pick everything manually (health and armor I can understand, ammo is too much).
Other than that it's fucking amazing.

So they game has been in my Steam catalog for a while and figured it's about time I give it a go. Unfortunately I realized quickly (about an hour and a half in) that I've got a hard time playing ID Tech 5 games (had the same issue with the new Doom), am feeling nauseous as hell. Man, I used to love playing Quake and Doom, feeling so damned old now...
Is there any way to disabled the headbob?

Picked this up for 10 bucks last week and just finished the Wyatt campaign. Amazing game. I loved it. The writing, voice acting, and world building is fantastic. Loved the characters and the action. The last few chapters were a bit monotonous compared to earlier ones, but for 10 bucks I can't complain. Great game. Looking forward to New Colossus. But first I'll do another run through the game in the Fergus timeline.
Really want to keep playing this game, but holy hell, it's one of the worst PC ports I've played in the past few years. V-sync does not work and I'm getting crazy tearing on a GTX 1080, (coupled with Core i7 6700k), there's no in-game setting for AA, and setting it via console doesn't apply to all aliasing, so I'm getting jaggies and shimmering. framerate is capped at 60. Add to that there's no in-game way to disable head-bob, and console command can bug crouching, and aiming down sights. I mean, there aren't exactly ini-tweaks and working console commands to fix most of this without breaking something else, as one would sort of expect from a PC-game even.
Pretty sad for a franchise with such a PC-centric history.
