added it, sure why not more bargain :P
Does this qualify for all the DLC? I thought I read somewhere that all the DLC for doom was now free?
Not sure sorry
Yep all free but I doubt many are bothering. AFAIK single player is where it's at.
If only I didn't have satellite internet….
Funnily enough much of this game is about reaching parts of the facility to turn satellites back on.
It's a minimum 53GB download to install.
I can't say enough how fun this game is. Get it if you haven't already.
It's a tad easy though.
Ammo is too plentiful, and so is health. You never die. There are super abilities you can use that kills things quick (chainsaw & BFG). You need to charge them up before you can use them, but when you kill things, it rains ammo, health, and a good chance to get another BFG charge, so it's pretty much free and you can keep using them forever it seems. Late game I had so much BFG ammo I couldn't even pick it up. I actually didn't use it enough.
But this game is super fun regardless. And it's a great throwback to the id FPS's of old. Secret areas return, armor, no reloads, no regenerating health, no cover system, no weapon carry limit. I really hate what current shooters have become. They like to defend it with 'realism'. How many guns can you reasonably carry at a time? Fair point. But how do you explain regenerating health? Before Doom, the last FPS I can say I truly loved was Half Life, and that too was more old school shooter than the current breed that clones CoD.
What difficulty setting did you play? I'm in kill me harder and it is just about right.
Whatever they call Normal. I think it's "Hurt me Plenty"?
The amount of ammo and health that drops from a chainsaw kill is OP. You can't die or run out of ammo if you keep using it. If you're somehow low on ammo, all you have to do is one chainsaw kill and you're loaded again.
BFG ammo does the same except it kills everything on the screen. And there's a high chance you will get another BFG charge back, if you have the right skill equipped. So it was a free shot and you can use it again.
My mistake.. I also played at "Hurt Me Plenty". I find it a good level i die every now and then which is ok. I'd rather not have it too hard or i'll just be wasting time replaying the level over and over again. My backlog is too big to do that!
@Circly: Yeah I have quite a backlog myself.
Some of the guns in this game were OP, but it's still a blast to play. Every single gun was powerful in its own way, and no gun was useless.
The only difficult parts are the Relic challenges. Some of those were frustrating. I can't imagine how console players are supposed to beat those. They require extreme precision. The ones where you're on a very short timer and have to get a kill in order to extend the time by a few seconds, requires pixel perfect precision. I don't know how you can do that with twin sticks.
you know you can change game difficulty settings right?
I judge all games based on their 'Normal' difficulty setting. Some games at 'Normal' are just easier than other games at 'Normal'.
Sure I can turn it up to hard or hardest, but it still won't be as difficult as another shooter on hard or hardest. If you have to compare a game on hard difficulty with another game on normal difficulty, it is a fail for the game on hard.
If you spend the time to power up, and do the challenge missions, it just becomes too easy. The difficulty doesn't adjust accordingly to your OP abilities.
I think the game was actually balanced around you not powering up. Because once you do, it gets noticeably easier and easier. They didn't make the game harder enough that you need to power up in order to maintain a balance in difficulty.

Very uninformed opinion going on that you just told us you never played it at higher difficulty levels than normal.

Why should I? Other games I don't increase the difficulty either, but they don't get easier as I go on.
If a game is "Normal" in difficulty, it should remain Normal for the rest of the game, not go from Normal to Easy, to very Easy and require the player to regulate the difficulty manually. The game should do that for you.
If anything, the game should get harder, and harder as it goes on. The last mission actually didn't feel any harder than the any other. I was just super OP because I upgraded everything. The ammo and health was too plentiful, my weapons were too powerful.
If the player has to constantly fiddle with the difficulty because it was no longer what they expected, then the developer screwed up. OTher games don't do that.
Also, many games don't let you change the difficulty once you've selected it at the start. I'm not even sure if Doom lets you change it.
If I have to select Hard or Very Hard, in order to get a game that feels like Normal difficulty, then it's a fail by the developers. What if I wanted an actual hard difficulty? When the Hardest difficulty feels like Normal difficulty, then there is nowhere left to go.
My criticism isn't that there's no equivalent to normal difficulty. My criticism is that the difficulties are mislabeled. If Hard = Normal, and Normal = Easy, then there is no true Hard difficulty, because the hardest is not as hard as it should be. It shouldn't be up to the player to figure out that the difficulty is mislabeled and change accordingly. The developer should have balanced each difficulty around what they claimed it to be. The encounters later on should get much harder to adjust to the your upgrades. Or maybe a dynamic scaling difficulty depending on how many upgrades you've unlocked.
Your opinion is very uninformed.
@lostn:
I get what your point is, but you also have to consider some games are aimed at different age and skilled audience.
The devs aren't going to make it insanely hard on normal when it's aimed at younger people.
(In saying that we are ignoring the audience rating that they slap on as I don't think people pay attention to that.)
Also a game may have multiple difficulty settings.
Most single player games have more than just easy normal hard these days, so it's difficult to compare a game that has 5 or 6 more difficulty settings.
Did you give the latest wolfenstein a run?
The one coming up?
I didn't play any of the Wolfenstein games after the very early ones.
I saw the trailer to the new one, and it had an Inglorious Basterds vibe and I wasn't looking for a comedy shooter.
I was thinking about the last one - Wolfenstein the new order and the expansion - the old blood. The new colossus is the upcoming sequel.
Pretty good game, though on the rails. The beauty of doom was just how vertical the maps were. a true sense of space and the climbing to get there.
I loved Doom so much I thought I'd give the new Wolfenstein a shot (The New Order). It's nothing like Doom. It's more like Max Payne 3 where you run through these very short and unchallenging maps to get to the next cut scene. I felt more trapped in a corridor than the original Wolfenstein 3D which was basically a bunch of corridors and halls.
Very true. Was all about smashing those bullet clips in Wolf NWO.
I played it before Doom though so enjoyed it too, and agree that Doom is a fantastic FPS.
I assume Fallout 4 is just the base game. Is it worth it or should you wait for a goty version.
currently the season pass is $33.99, i dont know when it will goty edition will come out but it brings the price to $47.58
Season pass is not worth the price at all. I bought the game +season pass+history of fallout book all for $24 (was a deal on here in February). Even at that price the season pass was silly, there are free mods out there bigger and better than the DLC. Just get the base game and mod it.
ha lol i bought all those aswell at launch, i fell for that book too, never opened it lol.
For me all DLCs are great, adds more gameplay, Far Harbour and Nuka World adds new map, making your own robots.
Got them both!
Thanks OP.
Also, the 5% off code worked 3 times for me, not the advertised 2 :)
Thanks again!
how does one redeem their keys? I can't find them anywhere on cdkeys.com
nvm, just found the link in the email
normally via email you will get item order confirmation which gives you a download link.
normally its a photo of a product key and re-visiting this again I haven't had the need to find out how to access this yet but I just normally document it down in case key becomes revoked.
How long is it taking people to beat doom? Ive put in 20 hours and ive got 4 levels left… Googling tells me it is a 13 hour campaign.. i must be really slow and crap.
I finished it a few nights ago and steam tells me I've put in 15 hours. I didn't get many of the collectables and missed plenty of the challenges though. I wouldn't worry about being slow as long as you're enjoying it.

"Leisurely" pace including extras seems to be around 29hrs so you should still come under that if you're going to the effort to get the bonuses, hidden rooms, etc.
Also, take any estimates with a grain of salt; time to complete is often undercalled everywhere on the internet as it is more likely people will want to brag about a quick time, or "round down" their actual time, to make themselves feel good.
Cheers guys. I'm up to the second to last level and played about 24 hours. Nearly there!
Either shadow of mordor or tomb raider next!
Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind (Plus ALL DLC) and Tom Clancy's: The Division are also very cheap on CDKeys at the moment!
Fallout 4 shows $16.99 for me before 5% discount. Did the price go up or am I doing something wrong?
It has went up.
Godam shadow of mordor is so cheap. I paid $10 and I still haven't played it :p
![[PC] DOOM $13.59 AUD, Fallout 4 $13.59 AUD, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY $4.19 AUD @ CDKEYS.com](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/56/322556.jpg?h=a2b0c4af)
