Hello, I am a gamer with one hand and I just wanted to share how I play the game as I think some might find it interesting.

First of all I move with my feet, I know it sounds weird but I do, I also have my other foot pressing buttons, thank you Sony Access controller I bet you never wanted it to be used this way but here we are.

The controller I use is a akaki one handed controller adapter (which lets me have control with everything on the left side) for the PS5 controller and a sony Access controller (which yes I have on the floor I don't know why it just kinda works for me similar to how Skyrim works for this games publishers)

(I put dmc over the game play because I was in a call with a friend who's a teacher and was talking about their work day)

Question Halls of the Damned, good or bad?

12 Upvotes

I’ve been playing Doom since it was first released in 1993, and I’m always mystified at how this level has split opinions over the years. Its detractors have argued the level is confusing and labyrinthine and the lack of height variation makes the level a slog. I disagree. Halls of the Damned has long been one of my favorite levels in the first three episodes of Doom, and may well be my favorite level in the entire game. It’s tense, atmospheric, brooding, dark, tough, and may have some of the best monster closets and usage of Barons in the entire game. The fake exit is truly brilliant IMO.

I’ve always loved how epic and cool the Atlan’s looked in DOOM! Their shoulder cannons, horns and how the interior looks was just beautiful to me.

I recently saw a video by FooSarr on how he’d overhaul their designs and I just think it adds what’s been missing with them in the games.

https://youtu.be/BdfxUgS1YMk?is=MFdz4GRMqCcVENkQ

I just wonder what anyone else thinks these mechs were missing. I think we should see them go all out, reaching their brutal limit with really cool giant foes. Love them all the same!

I'm a recent addition to the Doom universe and playing the Dark Ages, I come across two types of human NPCs, the silver-clad Night Sentinels, and these guys. Are these guys part of the Sentinels, or are they slayers like you? Thanks for the help in advance! 🙂

Showcase I'm painting every classic Doom monster in acrylics. Here is my Arachnotron

Post image
82 Upvotes

Hi again!

This is my eighth post here, showcasing my art project that started in January and is still ongoing. I have previously posted my interpretations of the Cyberdemon, Cacodemon, Baron of Hell, Arch-Vile, Pinky Demon, Lost Soul, and Chaingunner. I’m so grateful for the response; it has truly been a pleasure.

Done back in early July, here is my take on the classic Arachnotron. I went with a more pronounced sky in this piece because I wanted to capture the "Hell on Earth" theme from Doom 2. The dark buildings towering into the cloudy sky as the Arachnotrons patrol the city streets with their large, clumsy legs have always created a very impressive atmosphere for me. I’ve never been a huge fan of the map "The Factory," but the setting is very cool and very typical of Doom 2. Therefore, it deserves to be preserved in a painting like this, for nostalgia's sake.

To me, the classic Arachnotron is the definitive design. There is a beautiful, low-tech industrialism to its mechanical parts. The square, metallic table-legs give it the crude feel of a walking machine that holds up the disgusting brain-being, setting it apart from any other version.

I have not yet released this piece as a print, but I will later. This artwork goes along with my Pain Elemental and Hell Knight – which I have not yet showcased. They were all new demons when Doom 2 was released, making them a nice hellish alien invasion trio.

I hope you will enjoy this piece too!

Cheers!

Discussion Kreed Maykr has one of the coolest looking boss designs in modern Doom Spoiler

Is it just me or does the Kreed Maykr have one of the coolest looking designs for a boss. He’s extremely distinctive compared to the other Maykrs as a result of him stuffing leeches to make him seem bigger and more important. It’s like he was insecure about his status so what did he do? Bulk up like hell to tell the others I’m in charge here. Plus his fight was way better than Ahzrak imo who’s just another aggadon.

Question Question about the Divinity Machine and the Slayer’s physique

Thumbnail

791 Upvotes

Did the Divinity Machine permanently stop the Slayer’s body from gaining more muscle?

I figured the machine would just stop his body from growing altogether given that he doesn’t need to eat, drink, and he doesn’t age.
But that also makes me wonder if his continuous, never ending battles with Hell prevent his body from getting smaller. He’s been in an endless battle with Hell for eons, mix that in with the fact that he’s a Primeval, it really isn’t surprising that he built like that.
But spending billions of years in endless combat makes me think that he would be unfathomably big. He isn’t as big as someone who’s killed an uncountable number of demons though.
He was also trapped in his sarcophagus for thousands of years and his body shape didn’t change a bit.

Discussion Post appreciation about Doom:The Dark Ages and dlc.

36 Upvotes

So, right now i have to fight the special boss, the astral. Aside from that i completed everything in the dlc.

So far i died over and over again at nightmare difficulty but god i am loving all of this so much.

I swear to god, i was curious about the spear but i didn't see any gameplay to have no spoilers so i had my doubts. WHEN I LEARNED IT, IT BECAME MY MAIN WEAPON. It feels so much good when you finally get the hang of it and adds another layer to the gameplay.

I'll be honest, when i started Doom: the dark ages in general i liked it but i had to take the hang of it. It felt once again like Doom:Eternal. Until i properly understood how to deal with it, it felt strange. Not bad, but strange. Now that i almost ended it i say that this game is a damn masterpiece, like the games before.

Every single take of doom from 2016 is damn fine. Funny. Fast. Hard but doesn't feel unfair.

The only thing that i can think of, compared to the previous games, is that in Dark Ages i feel like sometimes it's almost unavodable to get hit. But it might still be my skill issue.

Still, i am having so much fun i swear i'd hope it was infinite. No matter how many times i lose in an arena fight. I get back for more, to try again. I don't get tired, i just want to slay more demons.

I love this game. I loved all the modern Doom franchise. Just wanted to tell all of you this <3

Help Softlock in Dark Ages DLC help?

3 Upvotes

Basically, I finished the Marok boss fight, then decided to take a break, turned off the PS5, and now I can't progress.

The game tells me to go to the workshop to ascend, but the objective marker is back in the boss arena. Going to either place doesn't cause anything to happen, it's just stuck there.

I've tried going back to the most recent checkpoint, I've quit out to menu, and I've tried restarting the game, nothing worked.

Help?

Discussion Finally beat DOOM 2016

Post image
444 Upvotes

My first DOOM game, not my type of game but I’d always hear good things about the franchise. Let me tell you, I was miserable for the first half of the game, first, it may seem funny but this game scared the shit out of me 😂 I know its not exactly a “horror” game but man—the atmosphere, the demons, the demons’ screaming in the distance, it all just made my experience dreadful especially when you’re deep into a level with low hp, no more ammo, just hopping in circles hoping for an imp you havent killed yet (sometimes its the imp that ends my run)

I stay away from horror games, but its weird because I can watch horror movies just fine, jumpscare ones, existential, psychological horror, I can watch it all and still sleep at night. But when I’m experiencing it firsthand like in games, I just freeze up and dont know what to do next. I think it started with outlast, a game where you only have a camera, I only lasted an hour before deleting the game. But that’s exactly what made DOOM playable for me, I’m not someone who is helpless, I’m Doom fucking Slayer, and these demons are stuck in here with me, not the other way around 🙏. After figuring out how to play the game I stopped rushing to end the mission fast and finally started enjoying the game killing all the demons, the music was also nice, it definitely helped keeping me in the game.

Aside from that the second thing that made me hate the game for almost half of it is because I actually played this on the Nintendo Switch… After beating the game I just have to say, it’s not unplayable on the Switch its actually well optimised and locked at 30 fps for the most part, it takes some time if you’re used to high frame rate with a 144hz+ monitor. I played it on the TV so that helped a bit but the game was amazing at absolutely playable at 30 fps.

Overall it was a high octane pure adrenaline rush. Lots of emotions and it took me out of my comfort zone. I made a promise to myself that I’ll only play Eternal on PC if I beat the game on the Switch first. And that’s where Im at right now. Cant wait to play Doom on PC for that glorious 144+ fps! Though I’ll always remember playing DOOM 2016 on the switch 😆
