Slowly move up the difficulty ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radicaldude Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 The game plays so much better with right peripherals, it feels like a different game. https://www.resetera.com/threads/man-doom-on-pc-with-keyboard-and-mouse-is-a-completely-different-much-better-game.161021/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to tone down difficulty during the end levels because it was too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus the game sometimes feels more difficult than what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have made doom, a pc exclusive. best played maybe, it is ok with controller also I played on PC with controller I guess on Nightmare difficulty you would need kbm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like other shooters today, it is run n gun the game. you have to keep moving and using the flamethrower and ice bomb/grenade , bloodpunch, chainsaw whenever possible or necessary, and go for glory kills. I guess this is why we get this feeling. except those assholes with the red shields and ghost wolves. That is a very cheap difficulty enemy.

I mean compared to pc difficulty at the same level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick switch between the two. Don't know how easy it would be on a controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exclusives which are optimised for consoles. Not shooters which are available on the pc as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMNTR Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Doom plays just fine with a controller. If anything, it's more of a challenge compared to KBM which isn't good or bad. It is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radicaldude Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 I don't think they would ever bring this feature to the ps5, but haptics would have been perfect for this title. Dualsense + 3d audio would have increased the in game immersion by several notches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On controller you can quick swap only between the two recently equipped weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's super fast that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On controller you can quick swap only between the two recently equipped weapons. What? You can use the weapon wheel (RB on Xbox) to swap between weapons. If you know where the weapon is on the wheel, you can do it as quick as KBM. If you're really good at it, you won't even see the wheel. PS - Reduce the weapon wheel delay to the lowest (70ms I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panopticon Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 you don't really need to quick switch in micro seconds to beat the game, although making QS work on a controller is possible to a fair extent The game is more about tactical positioning and proper usage and mix/match of weapons, their mods and equipments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
