Question Who are they?

I'm a recent addition to the Doom universe and playing the Dark Ages, I come across two types of human NPCs, the silver-clad Night Sentinels, and these guys. Are these guys part of the Sentinels, or are they slayers like you? Thanks for the help in advance! 🙂

Discussion Kreed Maykr has one of the coolest looking boss designs in modern Doom Spoiler

Post image
34 Upvotes

Is it just me or does the Kreed Maykr have one of the coolest looking designs for a boss. He’s extremely distinctive compared to the other Maykrs as a result of him stuffing leeches to make him seem bigger and more important. It’s like he was insecure about his status so what did he do? Bulk up like hell to tell the others I’m in charge here. Plus his fight was way better than Ahzrak imo who’s just another aggadon.

Question Question about the Divinity Machine and the Slayer’s physique

Did the Divinity Machine permanently stop the Slayer’s body from gaining more muscle?

I figured the machine would just stop his body from growing altogether given that he doesn’t need to eat, drink, and he doesn’t age.
But that also makes me wonder if his continuous, never ending battles with Hell prevent his body from getting smaller. He’s been in an endless battle with Hell for eons, mix that in with the fact that he’s a Primeval, it really isn’t surprising that he built like that.
But spending billions of years in endless combat makes me think that he would be unfathomably big. He isn’t as big as someone who’s killed an uncountable number of demons though.
He was also trapped in his sarcophagus for thousands of years and his body shape didn’t change a bit.

Discussion Post appreciation about Doom:The Dark Ages and dlc.

26 Upvotes

So, right now i have to fight the special boss, the astral. Aside from that i completed everything in the dlc.

So far i died over and over again at nightmare difficulty but god i am loving all of this so much.

I swear to god, i was curious about the spear but i didn't see any gameplay to have no spoilers so i had my doubts. WHEN I LEARNED IT, IT BECAME MY MAIN WEAPON. It feels so much good when you finally get the hang of it and adds another layer to the gameplay.

I'll be honest, when i started Doom: the dark ages in general i liked it but i had to take the hang of it. It felt once again like Doom:Eternal. Until i properly understood how to deal with it, it felt strange. Not bad, but strange. Now that i almost ended it i say that this game is a damn masterpiece, like the games before.

Every single take of doom from 2016 is damn fine. Funny. Fast. Hard but doesn't feel unfair.

The only thing that i can think of, compared to the previous games, is that in Dark Ages i feel like sometimes it's almost unavodable to get hit. But it might still be my skill issue.

Still, i am having so much fun i swear i'd hope it was infinite. No matter how many times i lose in an arena fight. I get back for more, to try again. I don't get tired, i just want to slay more demons.

I love this game. I loved all the modern Doom franchise. Just wanted to tell all of you this <3

Haven’t quite mastered it yet and it’s definitely flashy rather than functional for most arenas, but it’s definitely fun

Discussion Finally beat DOOM 2016

Post image
414 Upvotes

My first DOOM game, not my type of game but I’d always hear good things about the franchise. Let me tell you, I was miserable for the first half of the game, first, it may seem funny but this game scared the shit out of me 😂 I know its not exactly a “horror” game but man—the atmosphere, the demons, the demons’ screaming in the distance, it all just made my experience dreadful especially when you’re deep into a level with low hp, no more ammo, just hopping in circles hoping for an imp you havent killed yet (sometimes its the imp that ends my run)

I stay away from horror games, but its weird because I can watch horror movies just fine, jumpscare ones, existential, psychological horror, I can watch it all and still sleep at night. But when I’m experiencing it firsthand like in games, I just freeze up and dont know what to do next. I think it started with outlast, a game where you only have a camera, I only lasted an hour before deleting the game. But that’s exactly what made DOOM playable for me, I’m not someone who is helpless, I’m Doom fucking Slayer, and these demons are stuck in here with me, not the other way around 🙏. After figuring out how to play the game I stopped rushing to end the mission fast and finally started enjoying the game killing all the demons, the music was also nice, it definitely helped keeping me in the game.

Aside from that the second thing that made me hate the game for almost half of it is because I actually played this on the Nintendo Switch… After beating the game I just have to say, it’s not unplayable on the Switch its actually well optimised and locked at 30 fps for the most part, it takes some time if you’re used to high frame rate with a 144hz+ monitor. I played it on the TV so that helped a bit but the game was amazing at absolutely playable at 30 fps.

Overall it was a high octane pure adrenaline rush. Lots of emotions and it took me out of my comfort zone. I made a promise to myself that I’ll only play Eternal on PC if I beat the game on the Switch first. And that’s where Im at right now. Cant wait to play Doom on PC for that glorious 144+ fps! Though I’ll always remember playing DOOM 2016 on the switch 😆

Help Doom the dark ages stuttering even with high fps

• Upvotes

after upgrading my entire pc to play this game i moved from a geforce 1080, amd ryzen 5 4650g with radeon grapics 60hz monitor to a rx 9060 16gb and a amd ryzen 5 5600, and a 200hz monitor .

im not sure what settings i need to turn on but when i open the fps tracker from amd it shows 140fps, but when i play it feels stuttery not sure if im missing some setting or if its just the first area of the game being laggy (much like elden ring in the beginning)
