The more I hear about this game, the longer I'm waiting to play it. Seems to be about $25 max.

It is pretty sweet.
It is the most like the old doom than any other shooter.

No autoaim.
Lots of death.

Cheap on ammo.

I wonder if you actually played the original Doom. It HAD autoaim. It also had reloading, so I don't get how he says to be really retro, it wouldn't have weapon reloading.

And now I'm starting to wonder if YOU played the original Doom.

There was no reloading in the original doom, and there was no autoaim either (unless you count the fact that you couldn't aim up or down, but that was an engine limitation, it wasn't autoaim).

@Payback, it's well worth your time. I just finished it last week and instantly dove straight back into nightmare mode. It's the most fun I've had in a game for ages. It's just so .... metal. It's as if Dethklok made a game. It ams brutal!

The game is fucking awesome, but I think you are right that it doesn't really warrant a $60.00 price tag. I feel more convinced of this after paying $25 for the latest Fallout 4 expansion, Far Harbor - DOOM for $60, Overwatch for $40 and Witcher 3's latest expansion Blood and Wine for $19.99.

Blood and Wine is a god damn exemplary piece of video gaming. The amount of content and quality in that *expansion* surpasses most AAA games and all of the aforementioned games - for less.

Anyway, back to DOOM gripes; most of the side missions are fucking way too linear and aggravating. There's nothing special about the multiplayer and the Snapmap thing is basically a level shitter-outer.

That said, the multiplayer was created by an external team but Id software are working on correcting the multiplayer. If they correct the multiplayer and make something interesting out of it, release a real editor to get a decent mod scene going - then I think the game would be worth $60.00 for quite a while and they could go all Blizzard about it and keep it at that price for years.

Oh and fuck the original Doom, it's all about Brutal Doom. That shit is hot and Id were definitely influenced by it creating this new iteration!

From memory, the developers openly admitted Brutal Doom was a huge influence on this game.

Sidenote: I have kind of a hard time calling this an id game, it's really more of a Bethesda game. No Carmack (John or Adrian), no Romero, Tom Hall.... there isn't really anyone left who worked on the original Doom (except Kevin Cloud).

Still heaps of fun though (the campaign anyway, not really bothered about the multi)

I was fine with paying 60 bucks for it, but I also got in on that pre-order deal and got Wolfenstein: The Old Blood thrown in for free. My biggest gripe about Doom right now is how there are so many points in many of the levels that you can't go back to. I get to the end of a map and want to go find those secrets I missed, only to find out I'm fucked.

I got it for 43 bucks on CDJ's cd keys, well worth it, best single player campaign I have played in a while for a fast FPS. One thing id is good at is making their games feel nice. Rage didn't have the best story, but it played amazingly.
