Doom

[ijustposthere]

Fuck, I'm really pumped about this game. Game Informer has been running a month long special on it, and it's got me wanting to play the old Doom.

That link came up as malicious. I use Avast.

Doom:
Chainsaw, check
BFG, check
Melee kills, nice!

For once I don't have to upgrade my system for a new game.

If Avast triggers a false positive on that page, then seems like they still haven't gotten their act together. Because that's a clean page running on a daily patched server with autopatching wiki software running clean and verified open source code with checksums on top.

Not the first false positive I've got from Avast. I'm sure the site is fine, I speak up when I see something just in case. I've had zero problems in three years using Avast, and that's better than any other security software I've used. If it scares me away from a few safe sites, that's okay.


But DOOM!!

Questions: I'm an old school mouse keyboard guy, but I do have a PS4. Stick with my new gaming rig, or go console? It is an easy choice with heavily modded games like Skyrim, but should we expect mods for Doom? Anybody old enough to remember the Barney mod for the original Doom?

I think it will be. I know anyone will be able to design levels that will supposedly be available among all platforms.

I am skeptical about doom.

The FPS genre has just advanced so freakin far. I am not sure an online arcade shooter will garner all that much interest. Who knows, but I get the sense that gamers have move pretty well past that.

Love the Doom series. Yes, even Doom III. Got the updated version of that on sale from Steam awhile back. Still play it now and again.

IV looks epic.

Has anyone played this yet? Thoughts?

 

[botfly10]

There is stuff about it in the now playing thread.

General consensus is that the single player campaign is pretty great and the multiplayer is pretty meh
