anyone else excited to play this on ultra nightmare with the custom difficulty sliders maxed for added challenge?, or am i just a lunatic ha ha

Can't wait to play this, anyone else looking forward to it?


I bought the collectors edition right after the dev direct ended
 
I am looking forward to it, i really hope the new melee glory kills can be upgraded and chained together. The glory kills in eternal were amazing so i will miss those, but hacking sawing and punching off limbs and chunks of demons with full control could be cool too so i can't wait.

Was excited for this until I learned it'll have difficulty sliders the other day.

No, I am not against easy modes or different difficulty levels (also apparently now, difficulty settings are considered "woke" lol). Checkboxes of certain features or stats, I can support that, too. But I tend to not trust games to be balanced properly around sliders. They just make me think of lazy or unthorough balancing and the devs just saying "eh, just add sliders". Like, if I change my dmg slider to 110% and enemy HP slider to 90%, that's just a 20% swing, but if the game just feels better, I'll think the devs didn't know what they were doing.
 
Those sliders work both ways though and can also make it tougher and faster, and game will still have default difficulties which have set parameters

So nightmare and ultra nightmare will still be as hard as they always are, but i get the concern and can respect it.

I myself plan to play on ultra nightmare as i always do, and put the game speed to 150% and i love that it is possible. Oh and also the sliders effect trophies and achievements afaik, so if people use them they will not get the trophy or achievement for clearing the game on the difficulty they chose.

Never played dead cells as not into those kinds of games, but i too do not like assist modes or easy auto like in DMC. I love a good challenge so i prefer max difficulty, so will play dark ages on un and beat it, and then go play the missions again with soeed up to max and enemies to max just for fun.

That may not even be in this one, hugo martin said this game won't end with him in the sarcophagus he was in at the start of doom 2016. So its possible we may ger 2 or 3 games in this timeline. I do hope the wretch is in one of them though, and the champion titan.

Oh Midnight confirmed he is in it when he commented back to me
 
Fair enough i look forward to it then, i am sure u can tell by my name and profile pic i am an uber fan of doom and wolfenstein

Played doom in 1993 when i was 6 on my brothers pc, and never looked back since. Fav franchise of all time followed by wolfenstein and devil may cry and then zelda and metal gear solid.

I would love a crossover game with them both, but with reuben as Dante
Ya I miss Reuben in fact I had a theory why they chose Nero’s voice actor as well, you see I think it was the whole “black lives matter” when he said he mattered more which made Capcom decide not to use him because they didn’t want to upset the media, oh and also explains why Dante isn’t as cool as 3 in the Netflix series to diss his character because maybe he took pride in his role, that’s just my theory though ‍♂️
 
Hopefully they can mend the relationship for future games.

As for doom, i hope they bring horde mode back since it has no multiplayer, and i really wish doom 2016 got overhauled in id tech 8 with ray tracing and 120fps like eternals enhancements but that is wishful thinking.

Most definitely if the fans have anything to say about it and ya let’s get a remaster edition of Doom 2016! Oh ya I’ve been playing it like Doom Eternal using weapons switching and to me it seems easier because I don’t have to use a flamethrower or throw grenades as much

To be honest, doom 2016 even on ultra nightmare with no hud is easier after you play eternal. So i am interested in seeing what dark ages is like on ultra nightmare with no hud and the slidera up to the last.

I hope it is pure chaos
