Just ordered the collectors edition from Amazon, should be here Saturday. Haven't played an FPS in a while but after seeing everyone talk about how good it is I am excited.
Please post impressions whenever you stop kicking demon ass.
I just realized I never updated this but I earned the platinum On DOOM and then finished the arcade trophies as well. This is a fantastic game well worth the 60 I spent on the collectors edition. It moved DOOM from only on my radar as a game enthusiast to a day one purchase for the next game.

So Bethesda just announced a 6.66 patch for the game's multipayer, which makes all the DLC free. (Glad I spent money on that...) Also they're radically changing the unlock system, replacing hacks with presistant runes and resetting player progression. (boo).
Kinda wish they had announced this sooner. I would have made an effort to hit the level cap. (I was like 70 levels away from the cap). Especially since there's a reward for having been max level. That kind of shit pisses me off to the point where even though I liked the MP, I'm probably not going to bother with this.
And despite all the content theoretically being in the game, this patch is a whopping 34.7 gigs.

Honestly, all the attention they keep giving the multiplayer just increasingly pisses me off that the amazing singleplayer gets nothing. The multiplayer is not going to fucking happen, let it go already.
And getting an absurd 37 GB "patch" as well does not make me happy, the game is already outrageously huge for something I only play for singleplayer.
The patch allegedly makes the game slightly smaller, which is funny and sad.
Did they say anything about people who spent money on the Season Pass? Are they getting anything in return? If not, it's pretty fucked of Bethesda to do that.

nnnngh this reminds me about how they hideously fucked up in regards to the DOOM patching system because of how they bake their map files.
Why the fuuuuuuuuck do they have all the content for each map directly in the map files themselves instead of a neutral depository that the maps can pull from?

Yeesh, talk about shit so stupid it's like they're actively trying to sabotage the game. It's like Bethesda is pissed off that everybody loved the hell out of the singleplayer and hardly anybody played the multiplayer, so now they trying to piss off the MP people out of spite for the whole game.
I actually got into the multiplayer for a while. It's fun if you give it an even shot, and it's at least reminiscent of the singleplayer, which helps. I thought it was weird that I had to play the OST on Spotify or something while I played because the multiplayer was so absent of that outstanding music, though. Lots of weird choices for the multiplayer, really. Still, fun. I even had the multiplayer half of the game set up as a separate shortcut so I could get to it easier.
I'd be really interested in reinstalling based on this news, if it weren't for the fact that I'd be loading my computer with, what, like 70 gigs of game again? That's a hard pill to swallow for something I may just play for a couple of afternoons to see the DLC stuff.
Any word on when this update coming to consoles? I would reinstall just to mop up some of those easy trophies. I already have the platinum but it would be nice to get my overall completion rate for it a bit higher. Plus I did actually enjoy the multiplayer a bit.

Yeah. it's not people bitching that they got things for free. It's people bitching that they spent 40 dollars on this thing that is now free, and turns out they extremely wasted their money.
Do you do the same thing when you buy a product and months later it drops price? It's what happens in this world. Things go on sale. You could have chose to not purchase it and wait until it dropped in price but you didn't and you experienced that content.
I'm mainly bitching about it because I tried to play a level of it last night, and got told it had to download a 34 gig update before I could start.
What console requires you to download a patch before starting? Usually you can just launch the game in it's existing state and play immediately, just not access online features (unless you're talking about MP).
After this update Doom doesn't recognize mouse 4 or 5. It still lists my old bindings, but they don't work and I can't make new ones. This happen to anyone else?
Oh man... They release a patch that gives a ton of free shit to everyone and there's still bitching. Sometimes this hobby really breaks me.
Free shit I already paid for. Excuse me for not jumping out of my seat. :razz:
And maybe you'll have a few more people to play online because of it.
They wiped my level and the game froze after 3 matches.
Alright. Does the game freezing have anything to do with the patch or your machine? It could just be chance. And I have no idea what wiping levels even means. Did you unlock stuff while you played?
If no one was playing online before this patch was your $40 still wasted then?
I see that the introduced a new progression system, but have no idea what the old one was. If you're level 530 out of 600 what did that do? Were there unlocks or something that you've now lost?
I'm sure there were people playing, because people are still playing Halo 1 and other games online. But companies don't just release something like this free of charge without something dire being the reason. I'm assuming their MP was essentially dead to them and this is a way for them to spur up some sort of excitement and get people playing again.

They're also offering a free weekend and dropping the price to $15.

Played a bit of this earlier and the game froze before I could get to level 4 and check out the rune system. I'll take that as a sign.
The game doesn't even list that it has DLC anymore, so apparently not!

Hopefully they fix that in the sequel, and just work on single player stuff cos it was wonderful.

They're the ones who fucked up focusing on MP so much. :razz:
But it's free. You can choose to never open the MP and nothing in your life has changed.

This is a new machine, so who knows. Never really had it freeze like that in 100+ hours on my old machine though.
Did you read the linked article? They introduced a new progression system, and decided that meant everyone had to be reset to level 1 for some reason.
I was essentially level 530 or so out of a possible 600, before the patch. Now I'm level 3. (I would have been level 4, but the game froze.)
People were playing as of a couple weeks ago when I fired it up for some achievements during the Steam Sale.

Word. Then that blows.
