Doom beta
« on: April 18, 2016, 10:07:08 PM »
Anyone else try this out?  They offered 2 free days (weird), and then extended it..a whole other day (even stranger). 

Anyhow, pretty big download, and I was less than impressed.  I think Quake 3 from 15 years ago now was a better game.  Graphics are...well, alright I guess, but the gameplay and particularly the weapons - very uninspiring.  Pretty mediocre reviews on everything from Steam to dedicated shooter sites.  Sure not worth they 80$ they'll want for it.

I'm not holding out much hope for the single player.

They produce the smoothest shooters, so I have to try them all. It's the AI that is supposed to make the difference, so . . . wait and see.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

I have watched a good bit of single player footage and it does look significantly more enjoyable than the lag fest of multiplayer.
