    Thanks TA

  • Is any of the DLC single player?

  • +11

    Urgh, multiplayer-only DLC is just stupid. Doom was a great single player game but the multiplayer aspect held my interest for a total of 3 minutes.

    • Doom 1 + 2 was great in coop and multiplayer

      • +5

        Yes, they were great. However, they were loooong ago in a galaxy far away before the idea of DLC came along.

        Multiplayer-only DLC reduces the pool of people playing the multiplayer aspect - you end up with a small percentage that have all the multiplayer maps because they love the game, a significant percentage who have the original multiplayer maps only, and another small percentage that have the original plus one DLC. In this case, you've got 3 types of DLC, which then splits the multiplayer fanbase into at least 5 different groups.

          I recommend checking out Brutal Doom mod - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSzYliSASKc

          I'm sure it's great fun, but I spent waaaay too much of my life playing games like the original Doom and Quake and Hexen with such pixelated graphics. They were great at the time but gaming has evolved so much since then that I find them hard to revisit for more than 5-10 minutes of novelty play time.

        • @playswithfire:

          Fair enough
          Every now and then I re visit doom 1/2 and still find it out does most AAA multiplats after 2004-2005 for enjoyment

          I mainly focus on team based coop and objective based games now
          and with 2017 its my first year that I won't be buying an multi plat
          or a game from the 3 main console porters - EA, Ubi and Activision

          I came to the conclusion that if the main 3 refuse to offer a proper
          PC gaming experience. They keep ruining franchise series
          never release a proper optmised PC title then whats the point of
          throwing more money just to get disappointed

          So far Ive seen Warcraft ruined , Red Alert ruined ,
          base building rts scene almost disappeared , NFS ruined
          Tom clancy games ruined and battlefield is ruined aswell

          For me personally Ill be choosing Small Studios, Indie and
          Early access stuff now Over are the days of single player
          solo fps/tps person with cut scenes for me

          I guess this is what is great about PC gaming ,
          you have such a large range of game types and huge amount of
          games to choose from , yet on consoles it is behind a paywall and
          eco system with a tiny fraction of games to choose from

    • That's how I feel about all shooters now. Singleplayer is great, MP I have no interest.

      I'm all for the cinematic moments and the set pieces. MP has none of that.

    Excellent, thanks TA.

    Good for community but wouldn't be impressed if I purchased a season pass.

  • I purchased the season pass only a month ago. Oh well, only $15, which is the same price I paid for the game, so $30 all in and the game is great, so I can hardly complain.

    • I'd rather pay $15.

      • +2

        Why would you?, when it's free!!!!. A true OzB'er would never say that

        • +9

          I think they are referring to paying $15 for the game on its own nocure.

        • @cornbeef:
          I rather pay $14

        • @Kangal: I paid $19 and the game was so good I'd have happily paid $50.

  • cool. is anyone really playing doom on pc or ps4 online?

  • +1

    Is there a way to pre-download this before the free weekend starts?

    • good thing we have NBN!

      • Heads up the download size is ~58GB's !!!

    • +1

      There is but I'm probably not allowed to post it

  • I love Doom I, II, and the current one. Have them all.
    The version with torches was a fail.

    I have use PC and Xbox One but find the mouse much easier to aim so tend to use the PC more.
    Also easier to check on ozbargain from there!

      The version with torches was a fail.

      That was Doom III. Yeah it was a stupid idea. Marines in the 22nd century have no way of attaching flashlights to their rifles? Or didn't have night vision goggles of some sort? Gimme a break.

      A day 1 mod fixed that.

      • +1

        I love that mod. Duct tape mod ftw

    How do you download the DLC? It's not even on the store page anymore. Is it just automatically unlocked with the update?

  • Woohoo! Playing through the singleplayer game at the moment, this came just in time for me to try multiplayer :D

  • Will this apply if the game was purchased on Steam?

  • WHOAH On Xbox one this is a 53Gb update - Thank god for unlimited NBN that is connected most of the time……

    • 34GB for Steam version…Automaticlly downloading :)
      Single Player good…not played multiplayer…

  • I purchased the game on PS4. On PS store now the DLC says "unavailable". Will the DLC automatically show in the game?

  • Season pass not available on Xbox store either 'Available only as part of a bundle'. Anyone know if there will just be an update to the main game that includes all DLC?

    Also DOOM 50% off currently ($15.00)

    Good single player game

    • That is US $. AU$ 20.

  • Runs great on ULTRA 1080p if you have a radeon r9 270 or above and use vulkan mode.

    It's ridic how much this game is optimised for radeon cards.

  • $18 isn't bad - has the game ever been that low before? I'd be tempted to buy it if it weren't for the fact that performance was only adequate on my GTX660. Frame rate didn't seem to go much higher than 40 fps… definitely playable, though. After a while you got into the game so much that you didn't even really notice.

    • It's currently $15 at Big W. But yes, this is the best price its been for digital.

      Edit: My bad, thought you were talking about ps4

      • PC. Interestingly, the game ran slightly faster on high graphics settings than it did on medium. I'm not really in the mood to upgrade, though, despite my card being 5 years old, it still handles 90% of games at 50-60fps or above. Doom just isn't one of them.

  • Awesome! I click on the link, then check my Steam, and its already updating! YAY!! :D - Thanks for the update :D

  • The multiplayer of this game is ded in Australia tho… Even with free shit I doubt it will come back
