Pollyanna posted:Jfc I loving hate marauders. That stupid “hit when their eyes flash” poo poo doesn’t work at all, they have tons of hp, and they hit like a truck. What’s the trick to them? By hitting them when their eyes flash  . Its what they do, and you can get a good few hits in. Another thing you can do is angle explosives to detonate right behind them, with either remote detonation or just shooting rockets into the floor behind them.

Zaphod42 posted:gently caress, I hate that if you run out of ammo on a gun, it can swap to the BFG as the next-up gun. Way too easy to fire off a bfg shot on accident and waste precious ammo. Set it to hotkey 1 and it won't ever autoswap I think

is there another good strategy for marauders other than the ssg or arbelest? other weapons don't do enough burst damage to kill them at all quicklyPollyanna posted:I hate them, I hate their stupid dogs, I hate their attack pattern, I kind of hate this game. ssg, run in and very very close range ssg, circlestrafe 90 degrees ssg, ssg again, back out, repeat once or twice more, dead. or the arbelest from range while circlestrafing is the easiest way probably, takes a bit longer unless you're getting headshots.

If you stagger them with the ssg you can feed them a bfg round and they die instantly.

It's easier to listen for the audio cue and blast them on react than the eye flash.

Also remember that if you're at the right range-gap, they always follow up a shockwave with an eye flash attack.

Back up until they toss a shockwave at you and then move towards them. They'll usually start their melee so it's easy to SSG, Ballista, repeat until dead. Also the Plasma shockwave can stagger the Marauder during their swing too. So you could probably cycle SSG, Ballista, shockwave, SSG, Ballista and he'll be really close to dead even on Nightmare. I think it only takes like 3 loops of that.

When you run out of SSG just go find a mook to chainsaw. The hardest part about the marauder is just staying alive long enough and managing to refill your ammo so you can actually whittle him down when he does give you the green eyes.

Upmarket Mango posted:Eternal rules, and so does every other DOOM for that matter. This is from a million pages back but I agree completely. There are no bad Doom games and the franchise has always been fantastic. Doom Eternal is loving amazing also! Big guns, hammy story, blood, guts, guitars! As a 40 year old metal head whose been playing the series since he was 13, Doom Eternal is a heavy metal wet dream.

Blood Punch is strange "we nerfed melee" "we gave you a melee that strips half the demons naked and explodes the other ones into gibs" DoctorStrangelove posted:When Doom 3 is the worst game in your series by a wide margin, you're doing something right. The flashlight thing barely bothered me on my recent playthrough. Ammo is super common and you know what lights things up? Lighting them up. I don't know if I'd put Eternal or 2016 as #1, need to get better at Eternal. But Doom 3 is really not that far away from being a great game.

One thing I really like about Doom Eternal is that they did a much better job with Hell than Doom 2016 did. It actually feels like a nightmare hellscape of torture rather than the ruined desert planet that it felt like in 2016.

Quickswitch weapons, don’t run and dodge as much as you think you need to do. Too much dodging just means you end up in their gently caress you up range. Stand at the right distance to goad them into their green flash attack then tiptoe daintily back and to the side a few steps to dodge their bullshit. As someone who was bitching about marauders 24 hours ago there is a point now where I’m excited to get vengeance on them when they show up.

The two Nekraval levels are by far my favorite in the game, hits all the high notes on aesthetic, encounter design and music Also I wanted to ask if the Master Levels are glitchier or worse performing than their normal counterparts for anyone else. I've had several encounters in both of them that didn't correctly end and progress the level and ARC complex seems to have noticably worse performance in its master level version (normal is buttery smooth while master level is choppy and stuttering in some spots)

Wait so ARC calls the demons "mortally challenged" too? I thought that was just a silly joke about crazed UAC propaganda adopting woke language for literal blood-drinking demons.
