Good taste is a very good excuse.

I tried the closed beta and it was pretty dull - weapons seemed limited in number and effectiveness and of course servers appeared to be P2P.

Are developers just pumping out lazy P2P shooters on PC hoping players won't recall the good old days of genuine dedicated servers? I think only the Battlefield series does them now and knowing EA that could change at any time.

 

[abija]

I was under the impression most shooters weren't P2P (on PC at least) and only the bottom of the barrel ones did it.

CS :GO skins....
Nice to see that they are aiming for Crossfire player base.

Once again Bethesda proves they are miles better than Obsidian in the department of employee attractiveness

Of course these reviews will vanish faster than a bag of Doritos at GameSpot HQ when the "Beta" ends.

[DosBuster]

The normal shotgun is generic but the Super Shotgun has the vintage doom look.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Confirmed for RPG.

 

[dunno lah]

nuDoom's SSG is still p generic compared to its classic counterpart. You see Double-barrels everywhere being sawn off at the barrel and stock, Only classic SSG has that unique "short-barreled, stock intact"" design.

I really need to start ignoring this thread. There's absolutely nothing good in this POS

I just have to assume every moron comparing it to Quake is one of those people that shill games for a living.

 

[tormund]

inb4 Bethesda cultists claiming that negative reviews are a result of organized 4chan campaign or something. They often used that excuse back when Fallout 4 had some 30% negative reviews on release, and now it's even easier for them to use it since this beta is free for all.

I wonder how many of those positive reviews on that picture are intentional trolling. "It feels like late 1990s shooter", "It feels more like Quake than Doom", "it is brutal and fast, Quake fans will be right at home...

 

[DosBuster]

I'm still not sure what's wrong with the loadouts.. all the guns are equal they're just different playing styles.

Oh well, the multiplayer was designed by Certain Affinity so maybe the campaign will be better.

 

[Durandal]

NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE PLAYED QUAKE EBYOND 2 HOURS OF QUAKE LIVE
I CAN JUST TELL BY THE WAY THEY WRITE FFFFFFFFFF

 

[Excidium II]

I'm still not sure what's wrong with the loadouts.. all the guns are equal they're just different playing styles.

So you never played UT, Quake, etc?

 

[DosBuster]

I have, but this isn't replacing those games they'll still exist, it's a modern appropriation of Doom.
