How awful was the gameplay?
Are you sure that wasn't gameplay footage for Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death?

Seemed like the player wasn't very good or wasn't paying much attention to the game. there were a few times (s)he was just shooting at the side of the demons and spent more time just looking at them than anything. But, yeah, the demons did spend most of their time jumping around not attacking, which isn't any good.

It seemed to me the player was using a controller and perhaps was not used to it.

At first I was more annoyed by how terrible the player's aim was.
Then I realized that the AI was hardly punishing them for being terrible at all. Even the easiest Call of Duty campaign difficulties let you get shot to pieces. You just don't die.
When Call of Duty looks challenging in comparison, you've really slacked on your single player campaign. At least Call of Duty has a cheesy action plot to keep you engaged.

If I had to guess they are pretty playing on the easiest setting.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're probably right. That's why I compared it to the easiest setting on Call of Duty. It wasn't that they weren't taking damage when they got hit, it's that you can run right up to an enemy and still barely get hit. Unless the AI gets smarter and more competent on tougher difficulties, it seems like there was barely any effort put into the single-player.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wasn't there a video with one of the Call of Duty where the person never shoots and doesn't really take much cover but still never dies? Yes, there was, here. And it was even on hardened, so I would say that's worse that anything going on this video.

See, this is why I stopped playing FPS besides Serious Sam. I am terrible at them, but when the game is insulting me by not even offering a challenge to go against, then it is not a game.

Off the top of my head I can immediately recommend Painkiller and the Half-Life series as games that offer a really good old-school FPS experience like Serious Sam. No scripted events where you can stand around scratching your balls and magically healing off all the bullet wounds. Bulletstorm is also pretty nice on that front (and you are encouraged in it to run up to your enemies and massacre them in cool and interesting ways). I don't remember if there were any spots where you were "supposed to win" on Wolfenstein: The New Order but it was pretty damn fun to be able to duel wield nearly any weapon. The F.E.A.R. series is generally praised for it's AI (they somehow managed to make it use tactics or something along those lines), so I guess it should also provide a decent challenge.
Basically anything not tagged under "Modern FPS" (aka "CoD clone").

HL1: PLayed it, but the engine caused me nausea. Same problem with Doom and Quake, honestly. Played them through in very short segments.
HL2: Disappointing. Dumb enemies, boring level design, entire game just a failed showcase to promote a non-working physics engine. Also, second worst driving levels after Duke Nukem Forever.
Painkiller: I can agree. I even played it. (Even have it on GOG I think.) For some reason I really couldn't warm up to it, despite it really being another Serious Sam in a lot of ways.
Bulletstorm: Played the demo, I really didn't like it. For curiosity, pirated it, got to the fourth level I think before I got so bored I got rid of it. I mean, yes, it looked great and when I saw the trailer I was so hyped, but the final product felt like an on-the-rails scripted mess where you had an "execution" button to make it less boring.
New Order: Yeah, good recommendation. It's actually on my "should get it eventually when it is cheap" list. The expansion is not though. That feels… dunno, not right.
F.E.A.R: I remember that I played it for an afternoon but didn't manage to catch my interest. I cannot say why.

Well, at least you sort maybe liked some of my suggestions. :D
I guess it's pointless for me to also recommend Bioshock since you've already tried it at some point, right? :P
Oh, also the Borderlands series (in particular 2 which is a massive improvement over the first one). Though it has some pretty heavy RPG elements.
Comment has been collapsed.
In BioShock 1, I got to a point where you had to go back and forth in some really long glass corridor between two buildings. I assume it was the second building.
To be honest, it looked nice. I even wasn't really annoyed by the horror-like atmosphere that for some reason reminded me of Doom 3 of all games. But for whatever reason I could not get the controls to work properly. The aiming was like in C&C renegade, it jumped in large segments instead of being smooth, and movements felt like hopping from one block to another. Googled it, nobody seemed to have anything similar.
Borderlands… the funny thing is, I never played it for a moment, yet I know a ton of things about it due to spending thousand of hours (and I mean thousands) in a few Twitch live streams (Bahroo, later Smikers and the End Game Network people). There, funny enough, the shooting parts seemed okay. The writing was terrible, but that's not the point in shooters. It was the Diablo-like looting mechanic that put the nail in the coffin. I loved to watch people play it, but I really, really, really hate that Diabloid looter game mechanic of random drops. (It was what killed for example Neverwinter Nights 1 Original Campaign for me, that terrible random loot mechanic… among many other fuckups.)

well, I played some 2 hours of Medal of Honor 2011 (traded for it), and then I gave up
the amount of aimbot is hilarious, some many years ago, I cheated in an online game (filled up with hackers lel) and I didn't apply half as much aimbot as what that game has...
also, I noticed I could do everything with a pistol. Even the long range sniping. At some point I didn't even care. Need to be stealthy? F* that and kill everyont with the pistol
it's so retarded

At veteran level Modern Warfare became "Call of Grenade: Grenade Warfare" and that was about it.

Yes it does, it becomes quite realistic with the hardest settings, simply put, never stand out in the open, EVER. Call of Duty 1-3...hella hard...died so many times...but was worth it for the game. And ammo is always a issue on whatever difficulty you pick, picking up enemy weapons was a neccesity often if you didnt hold on to your starting weapons till you find some sort of refills. If you hate fast regenerating health, RAGE and Metro 2033 are your answer :)

Watch this = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_woMCJzkvD0 and this = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC7Onhm3tto and then do yourself a humongus favour and play the first games, then get the Brutal Doom mod and then maybe if youre feeling like it, try out then HDoom and then, maybe, JUST maybe, youl become a fan of the genre because let me tell you, you have missed out on an incredible franchise and genre, you definetly would have become a fan of first person shooting if you had this baby in your childhood like we did. But seriously though, i highly recommend a try, or at the very least watching playtroughs of them like here for example = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuszUP5v3tg&list=PLG10gKYiz7xC2FLZ-U90XTZsBrDPJ8syx why? Because its sooo good and it makes me care to tell you, its realy a good expierience :) and if you do all this, you will understand why the new DOOM 4 is rubbish and doesnt live up to its legacy, style, action and fame.

You dont dislike it but youre not a fan of it either...i see, kind of, netrual, like, if its realy, realy eye catchingly interesting, then you would play it i assume, otherwise if its too simple or bland or old, im guessing youd just skip it huh... played some of them? Well, some is better than none i suppose, i wonder which ones, guessing CS 1.6. is one of my cousins played it way too much than he should had... and it was the only game in school lan parties anyone would choose... the setting puts you off? Ooooh, you also hate military :o ? I mean, i hate the army and stuff, but not too much that it prevents me from wanting to play a military shooters, but that is a issue for you though is it..? Well, personaly the only military games i NEVER want to play are the simulators like Arma and Squad or whatever its called, too militaristic, too realistic, too modernistic and such... so thats understandable if it puts you off, i get it, but military games like Call of Duty arent that bad cause the gameplay is good unlike in those mentioned simulators. Thats also true for Doom?? But Doom doesnt have exactly a military kind of thing in it :o all there realy is, is just the USC who were protected by a small proffesional well armed security force kind of army that didnt neccesarily came from the goverments offical military, it realy is more like a security detail for the most part, except their all dead and you dont have to indentify yourself as one of them as Doom Guy, it doesnt honestly tell you that youre one of them, but...well..if you say so.... dont have much expierience with them :o ? What expierience is there to have o-o ? You sprint, you take cover, you collect ammo and guns, you aim down the sights, swing your weapon or knife, follow objectives and teammate banter, explore a bit for stuff and maybe secrets, admire sceneries, enjoy epic scale firefights and wars, choose your favourite guns, think how to aproach your enemies or where to shoot on them, aim for heads or torso, use occasional powerups or enviroments or not, take cover and regenerate, use turrets and vehicles whenever can if its viable, finish campaigns and get into fun multiplayer modes that CoD definetly has, see if you care enough to use certain gadgets, develop movement and ambush strategies when to strike if youre willing and dont want to simply bum rush all the time, and thats pretty much it i think for first person shooter expieriences, which dont get me wrong, is a good expierience and i totaly recommend you atleast try some ods and ends, it doesnt hurt to try realy, maybe youl get into it, maybe you wont, maybe nothing nothing will change or maybe you will have a new found respect for FPS's who knows, Metro, Rage, CoD, Doom, CS, its an amazing genre and i think youre so totaly missing out on, but hey, do what you want ofcourse, im just saying, it can be worthwhile to get into it, its definetly not the worst genre realy ( i hate sports, tycoon, proffesinal realistic legit racing, puzzles, most simulators, anime and space ship game genres for example). But yeah, i see what youre saying, you havent realy played em so you think this is a good game...and it actualy is a good game, but as a Doom game, it sucks...id tell you the problems with it, maybe their too nostalgic old school old fashion problems, but its just not a good Doom game to me, the theme deliverly is good but its nothing quite as good as original Doom, esspecialy with the must have Brutal Doom mod sigh...but i would recommend this new FPS still though, for the first time, you can actualy play as some of the demons in multiplayer! I so wanna rip apart people as the Baron of Hell like here at 1:25 = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u974h_8OWI huge shame you cant play as Hell Knights, Pinkies and more though... and thats just one awesome feature about it, this game offers alot more from what ive seen. But anyways, even if you were into FPS's or were a fan of the franchise, im sure you still wouldnt find any problems with this new entry in the series, which isnt neccesarily a bad thing...but i personaly wanted more and different things done, the demons were done so sloppy realy, easier, lamer, less scary, etc... Uh, youre welcome for the reply i suppose :o dont mention it.

You can't judge an entire game on 2 minutes of gameplay, it actually gets better after those 2 minutes. The person playing is really the biggest problem, too cautious and slow (trying to showcase as much as possible I assume). I'm not a huge fan of Doom really, though I did enjoy Doom 3. I've also played Doom and Doom II (but not much as a kid), and even though they were somewhat enjoyable they were a little too simplistic for my taste. The extremely colorful pick up items really annoy me and ruin the otherwise realistic immersion. I won't be getting this game any time soon, was never hyped for it.
Edit: I'm also tired of seeing the same old story over and over again, I saw the Doom movie when it came out :)

Well, Doom was never really about the story. Before I played Doom 3, I didn't even realise the first two had a story. :D
You are right though, they are retelling the exact same one over and over. Doom 3 was a remake of Doom 1, Doom 4 is a remake of Doom 3, and the movie was an adaptation of Doom 3 as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're absolutely right about that, especially in the earlier Doom 1 & 2 games. I don't think it's a bad story (although somewhat thin) but I've just heard it too many times (Doom 1, 3, the movie as you said). The story and atmosphere is what I liked in Doom 3, the gameplay however was pretty linear and became very repetitive after a while though (and I've played the game on highest difficulty). Plus way too many respawning enemies.

Doom isn't about the story & shouldn't be it should be about the challenge, Story line in 1 & 2 was more than enough
Comment has been collapsed.
I realize people enjoyed the gameplay of Doom 1 & 2, but I don't see why Doom can't have a story. Doom 3 was not a very challenging game, it was more tedious than anything else, but the story and atmosphere still made it enjoyable. Also it was a different time when those old games were made, were story was much less important because the story telling devices were much more limited due to technology. But games have evolved since then so why shouldn't Doom?

Actualy it was about the story but not focusing on it, here, take a look = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfaLHil7JuY the story ingame was told in the form of text, so..nyeah, guess i cant blame you for getting that impresion about it.

I actualy never heard about HDoom before and i havent even seen the gameplay as of yet (hard to find for some reason), only learned about it after a while of learning about Brutal Doom. Final Doom is a more added mission level expansion so i suppose its fair if youre not interested in it, even if it is more old glorious Doom.... what D: !? How can you not be interested in Brutal Doom :{ ?! Its the best iteration of the original Doom but Better in every and more ways possible, its not the same, if you compare vanilla and Brutal Doom, you will see the differences such as reloading and clips, grenades, kicking, executions, dodge roll, many death animations, better sounds and better sound quality, renewed new and better original music, ability to jump and aim up and down, assault rifles instead of pistols, new weapons and weapon functions, faster paced and best of all, more gore, more blood, more satisfying gruesome demon deaths that variey from where you shoot them and with what you shoot them with, seriously, look it up and compare, Brutal Doom is best Doom. And yeah, the movie was pretty bad but not the worst atleast...

The increase in difficulty is a major factor, I already found the amount of enemies in the later levels of Doom 1 and 2 tedious. And also the monotony and repetiveness of the Doom 1 & 2 levels. I'm sure it's a great mod for fans of Doom, but I only finished them last year and found them to be just ok, and I was glad when it was over. I found one youtube video about HDoom, it looked pretty lame even if you were into that, funny idea though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Increase in difficulty? But..thats like...a normal neccesary thing for games is it not..? Enemy amounts were tedious in the first Doom's? Well, thats normal dont you think :o ? More enemies = closer to finishing the game and thus picking up the difficulty, you dont want it to remain easy do you..? If you remain on the move, use walls as cover and aim well, priotirizing targets, it shouldnt be too tedious, thats part of the fun with Doom :) beating big odds and all that... mmmm..i guess it DOES get pretty repetitive, esspecialy with the demons, you dont see or fight that many types of them, nyeah...the levels do become quite varied in design though, not sure how that bothers you... layouts have seemed somewhat decent for me, nothing too special but not bad either. Mmhm, you can bet its a great mod and not JUST for fans but litearly for anyone, and if you ever happen to want to revisit Doom later down the years, please do yourself a favour and just try it :) im positive the new improved gameplay will make trecking trough Doom levels, original and fan made, more enjoyable and less ''tedious''. You only finished them last year and found them being just ok and were...glad its over :( ...? But..then..its not ok for you if you wanted for it to end, maybe you were playing too much of it in sessions...? But i hear ya, too soon to return to them for sure...atleast you tolerated and tried out the games, i can apreciate that and i want to do the same with myself for the first time, i too wanna finish all the Doom games, WITH Brutal Doom ofcourse :) the old is great but id probably be just like you and would want for it to just get over it with the way the game worked and looked back then. Found one video of HDoom and looked lame :( ? Realy..? I didnt say that im into that, but hey, whats the harm in trying if i get the chance :) ? I like the female imp fanarts around the internet ive found so hey, id like to try, but issues might occure, yeah... funny idea though? I am glad you think so :) it totaly is a funny idea when a game centred around plain overkilling, constant murdering, gets changed into having sex with everything to survive, hahahah, it totaly is funny ^=^ props for whomever tought of that, that kind of modding would only be possible for old games like that realy.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was talking about the increase in difficulty that the mod adds (enemies do more damage, attack faster, ...). The amount just got boring to plow through, it didn't really add challenge. It's normal for the game to have more enemies, and add more powerful enemies near the end, but add too many enemies and it's just boring.
The levels are pretty repetitive especially in Doom 1, Doom 2 is a little better but some of them were simply confusing to know where to go next (e.g. the level with the skyscrapers). I did play Doom 1 & 2 right after each other, playing only these games until I finished them. So I did play a lot of the levels in succession.
I never tried Brutal Doom, maybe some day. I think there were only two levels for HDoom and you were very limited in what you could do from what I've seen in a youtube review.
My Doom experience wasn't too bad, but it was time to move on.

Well, this looks more like as if they had to make a console FPS, but they still tried to make a real game of it. So lot of casual/unneeded elements, but the level design and enemy placement can make up a lot for it, hopefully. Made me hopeful, despite it being a Bethesda-managed game.

Exactly. Controllers can be great—downright essential—for many genres. FPS, RTS, isometric cRPG are not among those.
Comment has been collapsed.
Dunno. I mean, the game has obviously been consolified with the aiming down mechanic, grenade hotkeys, weapon mods (nice work with shitting on your own legacy, id, by the way), checkpoint system, and all the useless collectible Codex stuff that I think I can safely assume the publisher/marketing department pushed into the game to make it even more CoD-y.
Yes, the person playing seems to be terrible at aiming with a controller (which is understandable, after all, in most games, the game aims instead for you in these cases). Could be that they shoved a PS4 copy on someone who is used to play first-person shooters properly.
But you can see the actual expected Doom gameplay there. No corridors, there are ammo and health/armour packs, fucking working lights looksatDoom3, enemies that don't spawn in a scripted bunch and stay at one end of a corridor while you cover-sniping them one by one like a scared little bitch (looksateverysingleconsoleFPSinthepast10years) but are placed like in the old games. Oh, and there are secrets. Hopefully in the veins of the old games.
This enemies spawn health drops mechanic seems incredibly casual though even for a multiplatform FPS. Sure, it's not infinite health regen, but I hope Normal and up difficulties remove of significantly limit them.
In the end, it seems that they added most of the elements the plebs/little children would expect, but at least tried to make a real FPS around these drawbacks and limitations. So, even though I stopped caring about the genre over a decade ago, it seems there will be an FPS besides Serious Sam 4 that will make me want to play the campaign mode, because it looks like an actual game, not just some cut-scene simulator with an aimbot.

''In the end, it seems that they added most of the elements the plebs/little children would expect''
And thats why i love and prefer old games, and hate and dislike the worse new games, constantly botching sequels, not living up to our expactations and wants or the franchies potential and glory, old games are better than new games, they realy knew how to make them back in the day, not anymore now though... this is nothing alike to old Doom, its too easy, they ruined the weapons a bit and they definetly ruined the demons who dont look scary and dont fight as good, also i believe they took out and scrapped some old demons, particuarly the differently armed zombies sigh they always screw up at the simplest of things, its very obvious they nerf and easyify newer games for the plebs, casuals, scrubs and children, i constantly come across that, XCOM 2, Killing Floor 2, good examples of games made easier than their predecesors, ugh...oh and yeah, youre totaly right about the overflowing, far, far, far more than enough dropping and found health and ammo, in the first presentation and gameplay showcases from the devs, they realy showed you can get all the health and ammo you need from enemies and you dont need and cant even carry and more of them from the secret rooms and other places you find, too much, too much...

I wouldn't say that they knew how to make them in general, because the other side of the coin is that FPS games really were little else than Doom clones with different sprites. Most Build engine games are considered cult classic now, but back then they were mostly Doom mods with the same gameplay: find 2-3 keys, find exit, and to do that, run around a maze killing enemies. Similar levels, similar weapons, similar everything.
Later shooters really became so generic and bland that for example I know for the fact that I played one of a more famous one called Chaser twice, but for the life of me I couldn't even tell you what setting it had, any of the levels, or even name some signature weapon. FPS games were becoming mass-made generic bland stuff. The console shooters really put some life back in to them, I have to give them that. Heck, they even slowly managed to break that insane trend of the early 2000s where we had a year when a WWII FPS was released every week. Or probably more often, there was like 60 of them.
The thing is, now we remember mostly the good or at least better-than-the-rest games. Doom. Quake. (NOT Quake 2. It sucked ass back then, sucks ass now even after the fan patches.) Hexen 2 (is there even someone who knows what the hell Hexen 1 was?). Blood. Half-Life. Unreal Tournament '99 and 2004 (definitely not 2003, but we also won't let Epic just act like as if they never made it, no matter how hard they try). Shogo. No One Lives Forever. Turok 2 (FUCK YEAH Turok 2, no matter how batshit crazy the devs were with the arsenal and map sizes). Serious Sam (except SS2, that was terrible and justly retconned out of existence). Halo 1-2. Another dozen or so maybe. Among the sea of a few thousand.
I would say it is similar to movies, but the thing is, I really cannot tell too many FPS games that were actual FPS games and not a first-person-control somethingelse that were so memorable that they will be remembered in 20 years as well. As I hear, maybe Metro and CoD 4 can be candidates. That's a pretty darn slim list though.

Didnt know how to make them in general :o !? Now thats a tought that didnt occure to me...but...it kind of seems like they did, in a way...but...maybe barely i suppose..maybe they just...struck..accidental gold or were just in the right time period, oh my gosh i dont know now anymore... Why would you say that anyway...? Other FPS's were Doom clones with different sprites??? Ooooh...yeah..youre...right, but thats because of the engine, otherwise, not...too overly doomish, maybe just a little bit, but not for the most part :) but nyeah, good point. Cult classic are the Build engine games indeed, yes, but were just doom mods...nyeah, it kind of looked like it, i agree i suppose. Mmhm, keys, doors, mazes, fast speed, center screen weapon, not much aiming, scattered enemies, one exit on the other end of a map, similar weapons cause how different can you realy make them, yup and yup...
Shooters got generic and bland like....''Chaser''..? You couldnt tell what an identity it had..? Doesnt bode well for a game, thats too bad.... its a hard biz though, cant blame the devs too much, but it doesnt save them from failures either... well..unfortunatly thats all the shooters were that we could had back then and even now, so, its either those or none... console shooters put life back in into shooters? Realy? Cant say i know of any that did that, only consoles i ever owned were Sega Mega Drive II and PSP. Maybe Killzone, Halo and Resistance games, console exclusive, are just a couple that did that? Cause their great and have tons of personality that expand from the blandness. But consoles definetly do have great exclusive third person shooters like Warhawk and Starhawk (which i baddly want for pc...) 2000 year trend of WWII games every year trend that got broken??? Uuuh, CoD and Medal of Honor im assuming...huh... i havent been aware of the WWII released game streak, i guess thats..nice that, that happened..? 60 of them!??! Holy cow, that is a whole lot, lot! I had no idea, cant realy imagine all of what they could be but you do know them, how impressive :o ... well then.. then i am certainly, definetly glad that trend got broken then, thats too much hahahah....
Mmhm, we do remember the old games like doom and quake that are better than their sequels, yes. Quake 2 sucks? Ah, thats a shame... Hexen 2? Is there someone who knows What Hexen 1 was? I dont but the good people at outsidexbox introduced me recently to Hexen with this video which i recommend you watching aswell because of not just the topic but also for their narcicistic british witty factual humor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2pQvCYJSY0 hexen looks great, i think id like to play that, even though i...uh...hate magic...anyway, i highly recommend watching outsidexbox videos, they cover soooo many number games things in true and funny way like, the most unique save points, game devs in their own games, heroes that ruined lives for ordinary people and so on, good stuff. Blood? Aaah..Blood..that was quite something, another wicked game i havent gotten the chance to play and finish, looks good and ive seen people realy loving it, the outsidexbox crew also mentions it in this video. Half Life...mmm yeah, awesome sauce. Unreal Tournament...ashamefully i admit ive not played them, nor even watched their trailers :( but seems pretty badass nontheless, actualy kind of like XCOM now that i think of it, aliens vs humans but in first person and with unnusual weaponry and vehicles, looked pretty epic from what ive seen, incredible that such a good game was made so long ago and yet is totaly left in the dust if im right... definetly not 2003??? wont let Epic forget that they made that...? Huh... i was actualy recently reading about another horrible thing they did to another developer studio that used their assets for a game but didnt buy them legaly i think and were charged with a 9 million dollar fine...Epic are horrible assholes from what ive gathered, even though Gears of War is pretty awesome though, and judging from a MOBA loving friend, so is their new Paragon game. Shogo.....? No clue. No one lives forever..? Oooh ive heard of that, i actualy had a game called that on a disc but i never played it cause i didnt have the know how or the pc...now actualy that disc is lost along with some other ancient but good looking games, (still hate myself for accidentaly breaking apart that House of the Dead game dics, ugh im such an horrible idiot...) Turok 2? A franchise ive noticed people loving :) that too i actualy had on a disc but also never played cause something was wrong with it but the screenshots on its behind weren badass and actualy quite scary, so much darkness and green, looked like good horror stuff :) arsenal and map sizes were batshit??? Whoah, that sounds good :o Serious Sam 2, terrible??? Retconned.?! Awwh, but i kinda liked it :( i tought thats what kinda Serious Sam is, old school and that, whats so bad about it, seemed fine so far of the amount ive played, i mean, not too exciting but..its...eh, meh i guess..? Eh, i dunno, maybe it is bad and i shouldnt lie to myself... not much ideas about Halo's but people love them, so, yay...? Another dozen and a sea of more...? Oh wow, oh boy...
Its similar to movies you say? Oh...uh...yeah, for sure, totaly, just like with movies, JUST like with them. You couldnt tell the difference between ''actual'' FPS'es and....''FP control something else...? Wha :o ...? Something indifireiching you have in mind about specific titles...? That they would be remembered for the next 20 years and more to come? Oooooh...oh...yeah..i.uhhhh..yeah, i..guess so, probably so, yeah, its not easy to attain. Metro? Just Metro? and CoD 4 to be memorable candidates? Uuuuhh...could be, could be, yeah...a slim list..? Nyeah, seems like it...thats why extensive searching, researching, playing, finding is in order for that to extend this list.

Who the hell makes an early gameplay video of a fast-FPS shooter with a controller? And the person who plays has no idea how to use it.

And this is why you should never record FPS gameplay on a CONSOLE! It is a terrible advert for the game. Even if the graphics are smooth, the jilted movement makes it look like the game is battling. Put it on a decent PC and film every pixel as you move your gun slowly across the room.

IDK the player was like looking around and the demons dancing all over the floor.

On other hand, here what a good DOOM player looks like.
Plus, showcasing the new Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080.

Unrelated, but I was ummm, checking for hidden giveaways and I noticed that you have a whole page of ended giveaways at 5-ish days that are on "awaiting feedback". Do people not mark your stuff as received?!?

Looks like me when I play on my brother's PS3. I can use a gamepad just for adventure and sport titles, I cant even imagine how people play FPS games with one of those.

Just watch only like 2 minutes and it pretty much sums up the video for you. Don't think any of it is spoilerish. If it somehow is, it's very very very minor, so you are safe.
(The first 2 minutes of watching that I linked have no spoilers. I didn't personally watch past that, so spoilers will probably happen later in the video I imagine. So beware of that I guess.)
EDIT: The title is about the person playing the game, not the game itself.
