From watching on Youtube, it does look like the game could be easier in certain ways on PC. The ability to quick switch between numerous weapons isn't possible on console, but I was still able to manage. I think the difficulty level with this game is more based on gameplay styles. If you try to play it like a typical shooter we've all become accustomed to (Call of Duty, etc) where you stay in one area and try to pick off enemies, you're not going to be successful. You need to keep moving, keep alternating between best weapons for the situatin, and keep using your various forms of equipment to get ammo, armor, and health.
 
still need to beat this one. Those marauders a pretty tough but not so bad when you figure them out...

Heard they updated it, added a thing where demons that kill you will be transported into other games with buffs attached. Prepping for invasion mode where people can go into other peoples SP games and try to kill the slayer in the campaign.

Then I heard they forced some anti-cheat system. Weird and unnecessary since this is mostly a SP game and as far as I can tell, MP wasn't affected. People are apparently having issues after this update too. Some are experiencing slow downs in the framerate never before experienced. I suspect they may have to do what I did and download a game ready driver from Nvidia. After the update I couldn't even get the game started, but the updated game driver got it open, and playing one of the master levels, the experience felt smooth to me.

DooM 2016 was so easy to get the Dev Console and turn on God Mode this is bulls***.
 
Who cares if people cheat in a single player game.....

reason I refuse to play Vorarant is due to the root kit anti-cheat.

It's my understanding this is another ring-0 anti-cheat like Valorant lmao. I'll be passing on this game until it's gone, but even then who's to say they won't just add it in afterwards?
 


Truth. I played through the main campaign in full twice, done numerous challenges on the hardest difficulties, but died during the first enemy encounter in Ancient Gods on normal difficulty! Yowza, going to have to remember how to play this.

Played it (not the DLC) last night for a couple of hours... This far it's not overly hard imo (playing on easiest difficulty) and there's extra lifes this time around too... Maybe it starts getting worse further into the game?
 
A few levels in is where most people who play it like they'd play other shooters have problems. If you keep moving around the arenas and avoiding trouble areas, you'll never have problems until the Marauders.

Oh yes. It does hard to punish you. Even on the easiest difficulty.

The timing of the Series X upgrade is so bizarre. Seems like a big missed opportunity to not release it with the last DLC

We got the ESO next gen upgrade announcement finally, really hoping we get the next gen upgrade release date for this soon too. Really in the mood to finally knock out the DLC.

This finally comes tomorrow!!!
 
57 gig update.
Geebus, that's a large one. I wonder if it'll replace some files and not significantly increase the overall file size. I've noticed something similar with the Cyberpunk updates.

I think its time I take on the forces of hell. It should be even more fun using the Wireless Headset to feel the bass in my bones and revel in the screams of demons.

I’m in middle of this game. Do I need to restart for this to take effect?

You wouldn't think so just due to the way cloud saves and what not take place. Probably just need to force the update if it didn't update already.

Edit: Wait you're not on XBox anymore are you?

It does write over the existing file. Ray Tracing mode looks really nice, I prefer it to balanced at the moment. They even provided a free ray tracing skin for the Ballista so you can walk around with ray tracing in front of you at all times, haha.
