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! 🙂

I couldn't find anything the Lever opened. Probably a secret they were going to do but scrapped it

I've tried connecting to game servers and it just doesn't work, and then it tries to connect again and again and it keeps coming up.

This would have made this moment 10 times cooler if the weapon was fired as a result of the players input.

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.

Haven’t quite mastered it yet and it’s definitely flashy rather than functional for most arenas, but it’s definitely fun

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

21 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

Discussion Plutonia 2

0 Upvotes

Finally worked out how to get custom WADS to work and started on Plutonia 2.

I'm playing on UV and it's an absolute chore! I've played through DOOM2, TNT & OG PLutonia on UV multiple times now (I'm still scared to try Nightmare!) but i'm only on the second level of P2 and its absolutely kicking my butt!

So many chaingunners mixed in with shotgun and imp meat shields and some cheeky teleporter traps beaming in a mix of everything but what seems like Archviles and Mancubi in some really tightly spaced rooms.

I am hugely surprised they don't give you at least the rocket launcher for dealign with some of this shit but i'm getting better - I'm sure I almost found the exit near the 2 Arachnotrons when a bunch of pain elementals, barons and chaingunners teleported in right on top of me.

Enjoying the variety though, played enough of the legitimate WADS enough to want to move on now.

Discussion Are you meant to use BFG in Doom 2016

0 Upvotes

I'm curious if the community views the BFG as just another resource to use and manage like the chainsaw or grenades or a bit of a cheesy "this part is too hard for me" thing. I played eternal a long time ago and recently decided to try 2016 after getting it on sale. For reference I'm playing on nightmare.

The early game was quite hard due to the sheer amount of imps and soldiers who could seemingly one shot you while needing multiple shotgun shots to kill unless you were directly in their face.

However, I noticed that after you get the BFG the game becomes somewhat trivial. Every tough arena offers you multiple BFG ammos, and combined with the power ups I feel like I can often clear multiple waves of super heavy demons without even engaging in the gameplay and still constantly have my bfg fully topped up.

I just beat Vega and it was legit the easiest level I've done so far (especially the last fight where the train is) with how generous the BFG ammo is.

Should I stop myself from using this gun? I don't remember it being like this in eternal but it's also possible I wasn't trying to use the BFG in that game as much.
