Doom Review [Gadgets 360]

Gadgets 360 says: "We take Doom's single-player campaign for a spin and come back surprised."

[Heyxyz]

Already? Wow.

[n1ghtw1ng]

Early copies were available since Monday.

[DLConspiracy]

Actually reviewers were mad about not getting early copies. Bethesda told them they had to wait until launch day.

As someone who is reviewing the game as well. No one got a copy until today.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

@H2OAcidic I got a copy on Tuesday from someone on Gumtree, so they were definately out there.

I talked to the Gamestop GM today . He told me Bethesda held back on review copies because of the negativism towards the DOOM multiplayer beta . He also told me he had a bunch of people cancel their pre-order after playing DOOM multiplayer beta. They are missing out on a very fun to play campaign and a awesome 2 sided DOOM poster.

Early copies were only given to certain people to play but it seems more for lets play style videos rather then actual reviews. Having played a little over half of it myself it seems very mediocre it mainly consist of go to a room kill everyone by running around move to next screen. This game feels like all beauty and no brains it feels good looks good but is very shallow only had 2 weapons i liked the shotgun and BFG. I really wish Machingames gets a crack at the next Doom.

[ShadowKnight]

The story is weak but the gameplay is cool. killing Demons is satisfying

[game4funz]

By story being garbage are you actually reading the memos.... Or just generalizing... Need clarification

[kaizokuspy]

Tired of memos and collectibles being a cop out of telling a story. I dislike it in shooters. I know it can be a good addition, but damn it, give me a good narrative. Wolfenstein had a decent one. Haven't played doom yet, but will be renting it for the weekend

[FPS_D3TH]

Implying doom ever really had good story to begin with.

[ShadowKnight]

Its not that many memos in the game. It feels more like Quake than doom. In the beginning the first time he wakes up you start killing lol without any real explanation. It's definitely influence by the first Doom game and its a lot of fun. What's funny is that Doom is my favorite FPS of all time I wish they would have put more effort with the story like Wolfenstein. If you like the first Doom you should like the new game.

[conanlifts]

Seems good so far. Only played half an hour but it's running 1080p, ultra settings at a stable 60fps using gtx 970, i7 6700 etc.

[Maxor]

Playing this game on my TV @ 1080p 60 FPS in ultra with a gamepad is joy. It's just soooo buttery smooth. The only problem is that I get my ass kicked in multiplayer because I'm no match for keyboard and mouse players.

[conanlifts]

I havnt tried it with my gamepad as my tv was in use. It confuses the hell out of me though when i jump from tv to pc and swap gamepad to mouse for the sabre game. I do prefer gaming on the tv though.

[Bobafret]

I used a gamepad on PC and did quite well for myself, my K/D was typically 3:1.

[jmc8888]

Nah, you can do it.

What you have to do is put the controller preset to strafe mode (in the options), so your left bumper is your jump/double jump button.

Also you can turn up the horizontal sensitivity. (I haven't yet but I know it's there).

But yeah, I was getting 1st and 2nd place all last night and have a 1.3 K/D ratio right now. Not bad for a controller on PC. So yeah, it can be done. (that's playing all warpath and constantly going for the point or defending it... not laying back sniping)

I was also kicking butt on the betas as well. So nothing changed.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

It's great that you can shut off the new additions for OG players (which I will do on my playthrough). Sounds like the campaign will deliver as expected.

[mafia_pc]

looks good

[kraenk12]

Yesssss! Time to smash some demons!

[battleFROnt]

is it the year of the FPS or what?
Doom Overwatch Battlefield 1 (I'm sure there are more I can't think of)
Not one bad game out of these three..

[game4funz]

Dishonored 2

[game4funz]

Good review but don't know these guys so still waiting.

[Der_Kommandant]

Haven't enjoyed myself on an fps this much since Wolfenstein The New Order.

[teedogg80]

Good to hear. Heading out now to pick up my copy.

[H2OAcidic]

Sorry, but REVIEW COPIES didn't even go out to press until today. I say N4G should push this review off front page. This site most likely put in a few hours of playing and rushed a review.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

I got my copy on Tuesday. A guy on gumtree had a couple of copies for sale, so they were obviously out there.

[H2OAcidic]

The MP and Snap severs weren't online until midnight.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Erm, they definitely were yesterday,

[jonivtec]

I just play it for 2 hours....solid game but feel a little like...fight ord of ennemies...little exploration and repeat!
