    Or, is he introducing something new to the table? Doom Eternal's soundtrack didn't feel too appealing to me, because, it's particularly nu metal stuff, and has less of a demonic feel to it. I guess the only track I liked of the gameplay demo was at the near end, after fighting the Baron of Hell. The rest of the soundtrack, as I felt, was just guitar riffs and drums, and basically no usage of computer based sounds. I don't know much about music genres in general, but I need your opinion on this one. 

    Mick Gordon is absolutely not running out of ideas. His work is top notch, just take a glance at his portfolio of games . I think you're the one that's running out of thread creating ideas.

    I think it was more about a lack of color, something doesn't have to look cartoony to be vibrant.

    There were countless lack of color complaints when DOOM 2016 first premiered. Some people even mentioned that they used some sort of piss filter. Now that we have this in my opinion, new much improved looking version, people complain that's it's too colorful ? Give me a break! Some of you complain more than CNN does.

    It looks good tbh. The only complaint I got is that the Mancubus isn't as intimidating as the Doom 2016 or The Doom 3 version. I'm fine with little snippets of humour like the head bonking as long as it's kept to a minimum.

    Do you think the head bonking was inspired by the 3 stooges? I find the original mancubus model to be much intimidating than the 2016 incarnation. The original mancubus face looks more menacing/evil in nature. Never a fan of the 2016 look.

    I've never read any of the DOOM books. It definitely wouldn't be the DOOM 3 one if I ever get around to reading one. Boring game = boring book. I do own a copy of the Knee-Deep in the Dead book which was a pretty good read. The DOOM 3 novels aren't very popular. You'll probably get more feedback on a Barnes & Noble forum.

    Perhaps my memory is lying but I think the splitscreen in the bfg edition is terrible. I have it for the ps3 and the splitscreen doesn't even use the whole screen. Even in 2 player I think each player window only uses like 1/4th of the screen and the rest is just black. Probably the only reason it runs at all.

    That's because the PS3 cell processor architecture was a nightmare for developers to optimize. This is the reason why cross-platform games were terrible on the PS3. You should be fine with the Xbox. Regardless, I'd never recommend the BFG Edition to anyone. It's the big F**** garbage edition.

    I remember buying the Doom 3 board game, spending 30 min trying to piece together the board and understanding the rules, then giving up and never touching it again. I literally never played a single match.

     

    And then there is also another problem...with whom are you going to play with? The problem with these types of games is that unless you know some extremely nerdy people nobody is going to play with you. In fact, even if you do know people like that the odds are they only play very specific games and would still not bother.

    I actually do own the DOOM 3 board game and the ROE board game as well. We played a few rounds of the DOOM 3 board game among friends. It was very enjoyable and quite fun once you get a hang of the rules. We never ended up trying ROE. In fact, I still have it sealed and might sell it one day.  You`re right though, you do need the right circle of friends who fit into this niche. Some stuck up nerds only swear by certain board games just like some DOOM fans refrain from playing the 2016 game. 

     

    I did cave in and purchased the 2016 board game. Should be arriving this week. I'll share my thoughts once I get around to playing it. Oh yea, you guys are invited by the way.

    DOOM 2 is the best DOOM. Reason: SSG . Without the SSG, DOOM 2 would never become OP status. In fact, most of the levels look rather uninspiring aesthetically. Lots of BROWN which reminds me of turd. However, creative level design (barrels o fun, gotcha! etc.... ) & the glorious SSG make DOOM 2 the superior DOOM experience.

     

    DOOM 3. I beat it once. Tried to complete it a second time but kept falling asleep and finally put it on indefinite hold. Didn't even bother to play the ROE. Played a few levels in the BFG edition and realized how ugly the textures look.

     

    DOOM 2016: Amazing. Best FPS shooter campaign since Half-Life 2. Most people won't admit it because they can't let go of the past. Definitely won't be returning to my 2nd play-through of DOOM 3 after being spoiled by this sexy beast of a game.

    The Glory Kill system ruins it very much IMO. The original, you had to find health packs and if you couldn't, TS. The new one you can slaughter imps at 10 HP and get up to 84 HP. I honestly believe that ruins it. That and the constant arenas. It's just as bad as the constant predicable jumpscares in 3. Other than that, it truly is a good game.

    That's because you're playing on easy mode. Try ramping up the difficulty a little higher. Glory kills drop less health and hits you take hurt a lot more. You'll be begging for a demon to be in glory kill mode.

    The only thing I liked about the BFG edition is the inclusion of achievements. But every other change made the game worse, in my opinion. Mounted flashlight, doubled ammo pickups

    I actually didn't mind the fact that they doubled ammo picks up. Really helps with pacing. Ammo was too scarce in the original D3 to the point where I'd find myself using the chainsaw & pistol at times. This forced you to listen to the audio logs so you can get access to those storage lockers for ammo. This is part of the reason why I fell asleep during my 2nd and final playthrough of the game.

    The boss battles should have been large scale arenas with other monsters, which is the case in any classic Doom boss.

    I agree. Did you prefer DOOM 3's Cyberdemon boss battle over DOOM 2016's?
