The executions were actually added due to it being a widely loved feature of Brutal Doom, something only on PC, so assuming they were only added to please the console audience would be completely ridiculous

I dont know if its just me, but saying a game is soulless really is a damning and negative thing to say. I feel that mindless is a much better term for fast paced, relatively silly shooting. Soulless, by definition, is quite the opposite of Doom. Doom is bright and colorful, fun and fast paced, which is pretty much the opposite of soulless. Battlefield 4's singleplayer is, soulless, but Doom certainly manages to be more than just a lost soul (huh huh). I can see that this looks phrased as almost negative, but I was just voicing a particular nitpick. The video ( as most of Worth A Buy's content ) was interesting and enjoyable, I guess that one thing just rubbed me the wrong way.

ok Since everyone is asking, here is a link to the old Doom 3 reaction video kzread.info/dash/bejne/rHyVqpd_fa23iqQ.html This one is a much better one kzread.info/dash/bejne/pKGpqqqdqqS7c9o.html

Shame its not Doom 4 I may have been tempted to fork out the outrageous $110au they want for it.

Mack I must say I don't agree with your points. Doom wasn't a story driven experience because of hardware limitations, it was made to be a fast past action game. I still go back and play it today due to the fact it has aged so well. I don't play Doom 3 anymore because I find after a couple of hours it becomes a boring slog with slow combat and constant jump scares. The new Doom is a corridor shooter, and you don't have to ration your supplies and locate them around the labyrinthine maps of the Dooms of old. I think this new game tried to capture the evil dead style of dark humor that the older dooms had but went a bit far and turned into a comic book affair (even uses lines from the Doom comic).

But it isn't like the original dooms at all. Start a level of Doom1/2 and your likely to quickly come to a few branches in the path that wind around the level in different ways, and often you can grab keys and supplies in different orders. In the new doom its a line ---- room --- room --- room like all modern shooters. And the way ammo/health and combat works is a lot different.

CanadianCombatWombat On the spectrum of FPS games, Doom 2016 and Doom 1 couldn't be further apart. That is like saying Dune 2 is like Total Annihilation, they are totally different.

Mac seems to miss the point that Doom 3 was an anomaly in the series that was not well received. Doom fans have been crying out for a return to the gameplay of Doom 1 and 2. Don't get me wrong, I like Doom 3 because I like linear story shooters but Doom should never have become that.

main complaints I remember were the constant spawning of demons behind the player (cheap shots), the weak level design (coridoors galore) and that torch, dear gods that torch was worthless, a candle would have been more use that that god damned fucking torch. Otherwise decent.

Hah, I enjoy the hell out of Doom 4 for the very reasons Mack doesn't like it. I want the badass fucking kill everything at high pace murder murder MAIM KILL FUCKING DIE DEMON SCUM FUCKASJDKASASDAS... Etc. I love the fact that there's barely any story in it, I just want to shoot the shit out of demons, just like I did back in 1995. I like that they brought back dodging projectiles like in the first Doom games. I think the weapon modification system works well. It's not in the way, you can surely finish the game without using any of the mods, but they still provide a sense of progression. While you're getting better at the game as a player, your weapons are also getting more powerful at the same time. While this happens you get harder enemies, bigger hordes of demons, eviler evil, etc. It's just fucking lovely. I also love the graphics and the soundtrack. The sound effects are great too. The weapons feel meaty as fuck and the demons sound like I imagine demons would sound. Personally I thought Doom 3 was a piece of shit. Slow paced, boring combat, a story that was as retarded as a straight-to-DVD sci-fi horror. It was amazingly beautiful but that was it. If you wanted an FPS with some depth back then you played Half-Life 2.

Yup. Some people just don't get it lol

I love when you talk about your history in the gaming scene, Mack. I'd like to hear more

For those of us who only use a PS4, this was a godsend, shit game after shit game, then this came out and it does what it says on the tin! - Doooooom! It does what Doom back in the day did, which is what they promised.

"It's rewinding time and going back 20 years to the original." Mack that is a good thing. Half Life is a brilliant game, but Doom should not be the game that tries to replicate it. The new Doom is great, it's not supposed to be a thinking game just a fast paced FPS, which it is. BTW How the hell do glory kills ruin t the game? They are great fun to perform, but if you don't like them you don't have to use them so how they come in for criticism from you is little perplexing.

Doom is the best FPS I've played in a very long time.

I don't know, if you want my opinion I feel like we've had too many games similar to Half-Life, and going back to a simple shooter is a good thing. Doom purists were clamoring for a game like this, too.

Mac, you didn't compare this game to wow. Is everything okay? ;)

I like you're reviews, but disagree with this review. It was refreshing to play a game where you don't have to wait 30 minutes to use your gun, or listen to dialogue you don't really care about. The combat had great flow and glory kills were great (I was worried it'd get old fast, but it never did.) And hell, the soundtrack was amazing!

As someone who never got to experience the more simple, less story driven era of FPS, I'm glad that there is a new game that takes that simple approach. It's also interesting to see how the younger and older generations have such differing opinions on what this game should have been.

My only issue with the new doom are the glory kills, over than that I love the new doom! It does everything that doom 3 failed to do in my opinion (I love doom 3 to death but it's not really a doom game). Doom 3 is a good half life cross over with doom but this new reboot is a glorious return to Doom's fantastic, fast paced, explosive combat!

My preferred difficulty level is Ultra Violence. Nightmare has gotten too frustrating ever since they added target leading to the enemy AI, but that same addition made Ultra Violence more enjoyable for me because it used to be a bit too easy. This review was made before the AI was modified, and medium difficulty was a complete cakewalk. If you aren't in your forties with terrible reflexes and eyesight, you owe it to yourself to play this at a higher difficulty level.

However if you come home from a long days work and just want to kick some ass, this game is the fucking balls!

first day purchase for me. It's great great fun

"Story in a game..", Mack. id finally made a game that their fans wanted. I guess you just don't like id games then. You want games for escapism, while some want games for pure interactive fun.

Doom is super violence with insane guns, you're killing Demons with shotguns, it's fun and fast the multi-player is similar, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. That's the point of Doom fast and violent

I'm not mad at you mack. I'm just disappointed

I would argue that Doom 1 and this new Doom are not just soulless shooting. Mobility: exploring the maps and finding secrets is a part of it as well.

@ShagadelicBY

+ZLau13 But are the secrets relevant like in the old Doom or are they all just gimmicky things like finding little dolls that look like you? What secrets should include: -Guns you wouldn't unlock that early otherwise -Ammo and health (shouldn't been spread around the way it is and not dropped out of the exploding assholes of demons) -If they insist on having perks, these things should be hidden as well This would make the game a little more interesting. At least to me

I love the parts in the video where you put on a childs voice and shout to 'mom' or 'Dad', really cracks me up haha

I have loved all the Doom games. This one was just so much mindless fun that I loved it.

I enjoyed the classics as well as Doom 3, I can say I'm loving the new one. Perfectly fine with it being a mindless shooter like the originals. I see they tried adding to the universe through codex's and holograms, I'll probably check them out after I'm done with my senseless massacre.

Sounds like the game for me, thanks for your review! Your reviews are one of few good left

Excuse me but did you even attempt to look into story itself in this installment? I suppose not when you're bashing it as a 'moronic shooter'.

In the end it´s all about having fun. And it looks to me like the new DOOM is just that. Looks awesome, or at least the campaign does.

Actually, glory kill system and chainsaw is a brilliant idea - if you kill demons brutally - you can continue to kill demons brutally because they give health and ammo. It keeps pacing up and glory kills are fast to execute, so the flow isn't interrupted. As for upgrades, or "perks" as mac calls them ,they are to to empower you along with guns and while increasing the difficulty, actually give you a challenge and give a sense of progresion, that you started weak, just 100% badass, and at the end you're 10000% badass. iWeapon upgrades are good because they keep early weapons relevant to the end, unlike old doom there if you got rocket launcher or bfg, that was all you needed to play and go forward. well, to each his own, but i must say not every game must be half life ( coming from a huge half life fan) , because half life is half life and it's best at being half life and it's no use to copy it if you don't understand it properly ( like doom 3 did, which made for annoying first half of terrible horror part which didn't fit the doom franchise at all)...

I am really enjoying this game and I agree with Mack that it is mindless shooter but it does exactly what it says on the tin and it does that very well. I am glad you relaxed your opinion of the game Mack.

This is one of the best games I have played in a long time. I'm so happy with the speed of the single player. Not played Multi player yet but looking forward to it. Mac do you remember the UKCCL in Q2?

+Gareth Ayres Yes but back then we played Jailbreak which was not in that league so I never played in it.

I enjoyed Doom 3 and ROE, but I like the way they approached this Doom by taking it back to its roots with a modern touch. My goty so far.

Personally, I LOVE the Glory Kill system, however I can see why others might not be as fond of it. At the very least, they could have put in an option to turn the Glory Kill system off.

By the looks of it, it does not look like you are playing on Nightmare mode. You don't have to unlock it, it's just have red colors next to locked Ultra Nightmare.

Dude this has to be the most spot on review you've done lately. Where are the damn rocket jumps! You're making me dream of quake multiplayer days, rocket jumping, flying at 300 mph flames and sparks coming off my character, exponentially increasing in speed, breaking the sound barrier, switching to the rail gun, railing the enemy with the flag about to score a point, that announcer "HOLY SHIT!!!". Feels good man. This really sums it up. I'll wait for it to go on sale to at least $40 or so. Still looks great! I can let it sit for a while. Thanks! keep it up.

your forgetting doom isn't half life. why should doom reinvent it's self to be that type of game. It's a great reboot. modernising graphics and gameplay in meaningful ways. rag on the mp all u like. It's what doom should be.

Dude you should upload the footage of your first video game reaction. It's gaming history man!

Great review! I think personal context is important, so thank you for sharing. I am happy I found your channel. I remember when Doom 3 came out and none of my friends had machines good enough to play! Cheers!

"Glory kills suck" - pretty much what I thought 10 minutes down the road in this game. Wouldn't be so bad if they didn't leave you open to attacks. Btw, this game still doesn't hold up to the first Doom, it had much more impact and atmosphere at the time.

"Souless & lifeless"? What game has soul and life to you? Just so we know where your measuring stick is.

Doom 3 was pretty controversial when it came out. I know a lot of people weren't happy with the direction that the series took. Instead of fighting scores of demons en masse, you only fought a few of them at a time. Personally, I liked Doom 3 and I would have been pleased had Doom continued in Doom 3s footsteps, but I'm just as pleased as this direction. That said, one correction Mack -- Doom 3 was released before Half Life 2. If anything Doom 3 influenced Half Life 2 instead of vice versa.

I've been eagerly awaiting your WAB for this one, Mack. Excellent review. I loved your insight into DOOM's history and your personal experience over the years.

What do you think about Brutal Doom?

It's funny how you dismiss Doom as a "dumbed-down, moronic shooter" where you have to "disengage your brain" - and then you complain that you can't just mindlessly rocket everything in sight like you can in some other shooters. Sorry, in Doom you have to actually pay attention to your surroundings and use AOE weapons with care. Also, you didn't play on Nightmare, which *is* the highest you can select for your first playthrough. On Nightmare enemies don't come to you and wait for you to kill them; they just do everything they can to *finish you off*. You get health from them when you Glory Kill them, but not *nearly* enough for you to play recklessly. And while you can't be killed during a Glory Kill, executing it in the wrong place will leave you completely exposed (after which a single powerful hit can easily kill you), so you have to be smart about when you do it and when you don't, because Nightmare absolutely punishes you for your mistakes. It's tough, but it's also fair. You also didn't say anything about the chainsaw having limited uses. Against the biggest demons you can only use it once without having to re-fuel. And yeah, it replenishes more or less of your ammo - depending on the enemy type you use it against - which is half of it's purpose. But in Doom you're not meant to struggle against running out of ammo - the point of limited ammo is that it encourages you to alternate between different weapons, and with different weapons having very different properties (in particular with their upgrades) and different demons having different strengths and weaknesses, there's a complex dynamic where it's actually beneficial to think and plan which weapon to use in any given situation - while allowing personal perefences and playstyle. Doom isn't *nearly* as mindless as you seem to think. It's telling that when you "disengage your brain" while playing it, you enjoy it the most when you tone down the difficulty. Many, many others enjoy it the most while cranking the diffculty up and playing it with mindfulness.

PC also has that weapon wheel. Hold Q by default.

They should add a classic mode where you can't melee, limited pistol ammo, ammo map drops (enemies don't drop health or ammo), you get rewarded for finding secrets and stuff. The doesn't look optimized for level of gameplay but they should add that just for fun.

I guess the only thing that's completely new is the fact that enemies drop health, but that's such a minor issue imo, it just makes the gameplay more fluid.

If a developer one day will make a game similar to Half Life and Doom 3, then i will throw money on my screen!

Amazing video dude, i was like ah, hmmm, nah to DOOM but this change my mind, now i am going to buy it!

OK, while some valid points are made about the glory kills and the weapon wheel, drops etc. Some of them are necessary for one reason. Ultra-Nightmare you HAVE to use glory kills to get back health and ammo. And the weapon wheel is necessary on console because there's not really another way to do it on consoles. I personally play on a PS4. The drops have to be there in UN or you would not even stand a chance of making it. If you don't want the glory kills to be as noticeable you can turn off the blue and orange effect and just shoot everything.

Thanks for taking me on a walk down memory lane. I'm right there with you playing those old games. I enjoy your channel and value the reviews. Two old classics no one ever mentions that I loved back then are (Strife) and (Cybermage).

I don't care for the aesthetic, the demons look more like aliens.

IDK< I hate pretty much all FPS games except ones like this. PainKiller was the first FPS game I played with a big stupid grin on my face the whole time.Way I see it if you want drama, story etc the market is flooded with options.Sometimes it is nice to just jump in and wreck shit just for the sake of doing so.Fun is and always will be the top priority in games and if this delivers it has done its job.

love the sentence " ... not like doom 3... not scary story.. i have a room full of demons so lets engage quake mode and kick the fuck out of them " that's exaclty my opinion!

I dont agree that its a mindless shooter. play on a hard difficulty and you have to constantly strategize on the move or youre dead. that and it is the most fluid and well designed shooter I have ever played

Lol, I dig your honesty. "Hard" is a subjective term, it means different things to different people. To me, hard is something like contra, castlevania, super ghouls & ghosts, or games like UFO defense/XCOM & devil may cry on must die mode. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment, I really want to be challenged. So far doom on Ultra-nightmare is scratching my itch, I've started over several times now, one of these days I'm gonna make it.

Also calling Doom 2016 a mindless shooter really is a disservice to the game and shows a lack of knowledge on the game's combat design

Anyone got a link to that reaction video he is talking about?

Mac I'm going to just say I love this game way more than you do.....that is all

I'm perfectly happy with the game. I'm only on the fourth level and I am having the best time. This is Doom. It's exactly what I wanted out of a Doom game. I enjoyed Doom 3 and I'm appreciating the similar aesthetic but the gameplay is so fast paced and frantic, it takes me way back to my childhood. I am playing as you put it; a complete prick and it's an absolute blast. I can see myself replaying on a higher difficulty when I'm done and check out that survival mode.

Bit confused how he says its basically 'Doom1. Sure I recognize some of the creatures but everything else is different. What I think would be amazing would be a faithful level by level remake of the original, the same maps, same weapons, just updated to modern graphics standards. To be able to play those old maps that we all knew so well but with modern graphics and sounds would be incredible. Also, if it's Doom 1, wheres the music?

really awesome and funny at the same time to hear your old story from the beginning of your "gaming career". especially the part:"LOOK DAD !!!! " was great !!! :D sadly i wasnt able to make this experience but it is still real fun to your storys and by the way keep up the great work !!!

I've come back to this review two years later. I revisited Doom 3 again late 2017 early 2018 and I have to say that I'm glad Mack thinks Doom 3 was a step in the right direction. Since first playing Doom all them years ago, I've bought it three more times, played it start to finish on the hardest difficulty once every few years and I must admit, enjoyed it more this time round than any other. Doom 3 is a terrific step forward in Doom narative and is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. The lore, the voice acting and the scares are phenominal. I haven't reinstalled this Doom since completing it when it came out, and I can't see myself reinstalling it. It's a fantastic fun game don't get me wrong, but I don't think it will stand the test of time like Doom 3.

Nice and honest review mack ! I also expected it to be more like doom3 but I am actually totally not disappointed with returning to the older style of doom. Maybe even happy, I can still play hl2 or doom3 if I want, a game like this hasn't been out in almost 20 years, but I also understand your disappointment. You are totally right about the console thing though.. in my opinion developpers should make a bigger difference in gameplay between console and pc. Can't wait for my new gpu to play this though

Its been about a year since the subnautica review are you going to look at it again soon?

In my opinion Doom 3 wasn't really a Doom game, absolutely loved Doom 1 and 2. Just mindless fast paced fun killing lots of monsters and solving a few basic puzzles on the way.

Its great loving it for what it is.

I'm sorry Mack but I don't believe you completed this in the highest difficulty...the highest difficulty is ultra nightmare mode and if you die once you start all over and I couldn't get passed the first part of level 1, that's how hard that mode is...

good review.. I played the og version on my Tandy cpu. good times back then.

This is just a serious sam knock-off disguised as doom with bad modern gaming cliches. I mean for FFS unskippable pointless cutscenes where you look at stuff you turned on for 5 seconds or that near 30 second long segment where you're locked in a room even though you have a Helmet with a HUD so the transmission could just play on that. Oh and weapons are found only when the game decides you need them, no possiblities to find them early or anything to actually reward finding secrets. Classic Doom was maze-like levels with demons, this is just mind-numbing arenas.

I've played this on the ps4 and I love the glory kills and I love this game! This guy hasn't a clue what he's talking about!!!

I'm playing on high and still get 40-70fps what you doing man? i only have a gtx 950

My thoughts exactly with Doom 3, and I am also on the same page with Doom1,2 quake and then Half life. The way you explained all those is spot on. Remember half life when you had to sneak past that giant tentacle weed? Make soo much sound and you got skewered. But back on Doom 3, thats where Doom should of headed, FPS horror survival. If I recall the pretense to doom 1, you were the last survivor of a marine squad. It just felt like Doom 3 did something with that pretense. So Doom(4?) just went back to mindless demon killing.

I don't know why anyone would think that Doom needed to continue in the direction of Doom 3. Doom 3 wasn't a universally loved title. A lot of people hated it and even described it as this reviewer describes Doom 1: a moronic shooter. People said that Doom 3 was stuck in the past, that it was boring, repetitive, too dark, etc., etc. There were people saying that its gameplay was too much like the originals where all you do is go down a linear path, kill monsters, and collect keycards in order to move on. Only in Doom 3, you collected PDAs instead. So considering all the criticisms that were thrown at that game, I don't why anyone would think that it would have been wise for Id just to make a remake of Doom 3. Although, I do agree with the reviewer that they should have kept a few more elements from Doom 3 than they did and that they should have tried to make Doom 2016 more immersive. I don't think they should have gotten rid of reloading, nor should they have made the demons spew out health and ammo upon dying. And the armor and health pickups should have blended in with the environment like they did with Doom 3. Other than that, I think that Id actually did a pretty good job with this latest iteration of Doom and made the right choice by going more down the action route rather than the horror route because that's what really made the original Doom games so awesome: the hard, fast, brutal, and bloody action. This game is a lot of fun and I would recommend people to buy it.

Pretty sure this is the only honesty review of doom. Really respect your views and opinions thanks for the videos man.

Mate, remember that first time you pressed space bar on a a Nazi poster to reveal a secret room!? Mind = Blown

Also, one honorable mention in FPS genre would be FEAR1. I challenge you to play it if you have not. Amazing AI. Ohh the story and and wait past the ending credits - major story twist. A masterpiece.

+Juhan Voolaid Interesting, I played Fear 1 and enjoyed it much, but I got to the final part when I was just about to meet the final boss girl, But I Bought a new computer at the time and so I never finished it

Thankfully it's nothing like Doom 3, that was terrible. This Doom was brilliant fun, something the third one forgot about.

Thank god this is not like doom 3. If I want to play horror scripted games with very bad combat, I would like doom 3. But how crap that game was, its great news they are actually going back and making a game where combat is so fun, fast and complex, compared to doom 3 an half life 1.

Mack everytime I watch your videos I can't contain my laughter... thumbs up!

if they had the technology back then DOOM would prob have looked kinda like this. The problem was just that they were held back by the technology of the time so it had to be 2D instead of 3D. The tech just wasnt there yet at the time.
