DOOM

Encountered a bug that caused the game to freeze every frame. It took 40 minutes to finally load into the main menu. From what I've been able to tell, this bug has been around since launch, and we're still not sure what causes it. I've attached specs so you can compare.

First game that I played after building my first desktop PC. Loved it then, loved it when I just replayed through the campaign. It's just so fun. Chaotic, creative, dark, gory, so violent, takes itself very seriously, while at the same time not taking itself seriously at all. Obvious love went into this one.

O.G. Merciless action.

Beating this game on ultra violence, this combat is very very good. Each enemy poses a unique challenging pattern of attacks and the many hoards of monsters work together to flush you out. It forces you to engage with the content and is VERY satisfying when you understand the combat loop. It has been a bit when I touched an fps game so i had my fair share of deaths in the first couple missions. However, it gets to a point similar to that of a flow state. the gunplay is HIGHLY responsive and the games main mechanic, glory kills, are very seamless. The gunplay at times does become overwhelming but the great thing is you KNOW you can overcome it. Nothing is straight up unfair. Moreso on the combat, the weakest part of the game imo is EASILY the bosses. The bosses were NOT bad per say but compared to the rest of the game, they felt tedious and slow. The actual bosses have quite basic movesets but act like massive bullet sponges. Unlike the base game where each weapon is used against a specific type of enemy (everything felt fresh and diverse) the main thing I ended up doing was throwing all my ammo from all my weapons at it. The bosses are for sure the weakest as said but they are n…

♥♥♥♥ is PEAK. Having played through Eternal, Doom II and some of Dark Ages, I can say that this is my favorite DOOM game in the franchise, and always will be. Think of this for me: When someone says doom, referencing the game or not, you always think “total destruction” or perceive it as “dark”. This is EXACTLY the intended purpose of the DOOM franchise, with this game being a particular standout. Eternal was a little too cartoony for me, but 2016 is just right. It fits that “dark” and “gritty” vibe that you get when someone says the word “doom”. It’s intended to be that way. Greatest game in the franchise IMO.

I recommend it for people who like face paced games and pretty good gunplay.
