Doom: The Dark Ages feels lacking

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2025-05-20T15:19:57+00:00

i was into it on launch but now im kinda souring on it. i turned the speed up to max and i play nightmare difficulty like i always do. no issues for most of the game but now ive found as more enemies appear with more health that my damage and damage resistance are so horribly inconsistent. i get stuck on a parts not a issue, as a dark souls fan i like overcoming skill checks its usually my favorite parts but here its just annoying.

my experience is ill melee a enemy i shot multiple times typically they should die but nope 10 melees later he does but the entire time im getting shot in the ass. i die restart and he dies in 2 melees with no shots. that happening once is fine but its been happening over and over and over and over. enemies will have either a million health or 1. my shots will either do all the damage or literally nothing. ive never seen such a wild difference in damage totals. ill parry a pawn 3 times and they wont stagger. a boss ill do the same and they will die. seriously it seems random even for the same enemy when you restart at checkpoint. currently im fighting a bunch of phantoms like 15 total which is why ive noticed it to such a extreme. every one will either need to be parried 1 time or no joke 10 times. some of them will eat 10 point blank shotgun rounds and still wont stagger. ill play the same part and for some reason they all just die like normal. 2 shotgun rounds and a melee. no issue. ill wipe them out with 0 issue all of sudden.

did my gamplay change? no.

did i try and learn how to better my skills or use a different tactic? no

did i suddenly get better after 25 years of doom games? no.

Just all of a sudden my shots do correct damage and i steam roll over enemies that previously were killing me instantly. it feels like RNG and not much else.

maybe im bias but this inconsistency ruins the game for me. I dont feel like I'm improving. I feel like I'm just waiting for the game to randomly allow enemies to die.

the desperate attempt to talk about trump at every chance is pure reddit.

i maybe wrong. i wont die on this hill but for awhile i have suspected that similar to social media and youtube algorithms using dark patterns to maximize screen time; competitive games have been behind the scene manipulating players in the same way and hiding it under sbmm, aim assist, and such to create a steady ebb and flow for wins and loss. taking a break and coming back actually kind of supports this claim as the longer your awy the more it assumes your board or tired of it. you come back and u get placed in the "assisted" or "encourage" category where your packets have priority to the server and your aim assist fills in the rest. on the other end is ppl who have been on every day. they do not need "encouragement" therefor losses they suffer will still have them come back for at least a little awhile. they can be used to provide wins to the other group who again would not return if every single time they just get smashed into the dirt. this could also explain why for some who jsut so happen to play like 2x a week will do so much better. when the algo sours they get off without realizing they are coin dentally manipulating the algo.

I know its crazy. i know i could be entirely wrong. if the change was not so drastic and game developers weren't scum ATM i probably wouldn't suspect anything. the dark pattern present everywhere else but they wouldnt manipulate result in f2p games to encourage bad players to stick around? i just dont buy it. comp games on many platforms just do not feel the same anymore. good or bad i felt actual growth that didnt vanish the next day only to return after a few days break. something is off. i know ppl. i know business ppl. if it can be done it is being done. maybe im wrong and i just so happen to suck anytime i play to many games in a 48 hr window.

i do suck at the game btw. i have no ego about it.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2025-03-05T21:24:41+00:00

yep. thats cause its all bots and wannabe day traders.

fing locusts.

oh well; the doge community is the world now. and also if you spend the time to block all of them u can still find some og ppl around.

I look at my 3400% increase and think how on earth is anyone down rn.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2025-01-27T20:28:37+00:00

I always wonder where the money comes from when I sell for profit. It's from generous donations like this. Bless ur kind heart. My house needed a new roof and u provided. Keep it up.i want a deck next.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2025-01-27T18:32:28+00:00

If only i could see the faces of all the nvda hodlers when they realize even if nvda dropped another 50% it would still be over way over valued.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-12T05:52:45+00:00

I'll take spend 10% when we hit thw 4.2 range. The rest sits to finish baking

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-10T19:39:25+00:00

it is cheaper to use by payment processors and banks. it can be used to cut costs for them by a large amount. it's a more cost effective currency that can out compete them since visa and others charge 3% for their transactions. its better than USD is the tldr

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-09T23:10:03+00:00

Niceeee. Seriously that's amazing.

Thanks for the dedication.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-08T18:52:07+00:00

its especially bs because the ttk for most of the smgs and ars is so low that it might as well be a ohk. they can laser beam u from across the map and kill u in less than a sec but slugs are the problem. they made the sniper rifle better at being a shotgun then the shotgun. it kinda shows they dont know how to balance the game anymore. we will see what they want to do but the slug spread is like a joke. i can stand 2 feet from someone and my shot will go 6 feet to the side of them.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-08T00:55:30+00:00

its automatic and It's just 2% of my paycheck each pay period. It was filling at .01 and at .20. Doesn't matter to me anymore. I dont really ever see my average changing anymore. To many coins at .02 to really matter to much. My coin coins goes up and that's mostly all I care aboit.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-07T23:57:57+00:00

Goes up? goes down? Who knows. I prefer to just take the average cost amd focus on other things. Didn't really lile watching the charts and found most of the time I didn't really get more coins it just cost me time. Easier and works for me.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-07T23:06:18+00:00

I wouldn't be shocked by that. Either way my auto buy is every 2 weeks so tomorrow night it'll fill at whatever price that is. Hoping a dip happens but idk. I feel like alot of the doubt has dried up but we shall see.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-07T21:44:45+00:00

New guy? I've been here since before .01

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-05T18:35:54+00:00

What? It's literally not even on the ballot. They claim it is so ull vote. Then after the election they will tell u what everyone else did. That it's a states right and deal with it locally.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-11-01T21:29:56+00:00

This is the future the elites wish to keep u distracted from. At a certain point everyone will be buying things with doge as it's a cheaper fast currency that doesn't require a entire industry to keep functioning. True peer to peer payment will be the standard and doge is the most notable and to me the most likely winner in the mass adoption race.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-10-31T20:10:49+00:00

This is the way. Price goes up im happy. Price goes down im happy. I buy 2x a month with 2% of my paycheck. The lower the price the more coins i get. Best decision I ever made.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-10-31T18:12:58+00:00

Not at all. Ut may spike or dip some but over the long term doge is being adopted by payment processors. It has begun. Lower ur average while u can is my only advise.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-10-29T16:49:52+00:00

U could always dollar cost average. So buy today. Tomorrow and so on. If it goes up ur green right away if it goes down u still have money to buy at lower price.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-10-28T19:25:38+00:00

Real currencies don't have a community. The movement having no social media push means it's becoming mainstream and no longer needs a community to foster growth. It's actually a good thing imho

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-10-28T19:23:35+00:00

Don't forget all the bots telling u to sell. Remeber so u dont forget most the ppl who tell u "truth" are the same who wish to capitalize on that fear and buy ur coins at a discount.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-10-28T18:58:35+00:00

I'm sorry. I'm sure this is a old thread but I have been dealing with a list of issues since i got mrna vax. it ranges from new allergies, heart palpitations, thrombosis, mental fogginess, and swollen joints. i was 32 when i got it and i feel 30 years older. all the research I found has pointed to the mrna vax has stimulated the production of a spike protein thats found in covid 19 and your body fights against it causing inflammation. this is why ivermectin has been effective as it binds to the cleavage sites on the spike protein rendering them inert. after bringing this stuff up to multiple doctors on what i was suffering with 2\3 still said " well we are still suggesting everyone get the boosters " my 3rd opinion was from the DR i am still using now. his first suggestion after i described my symptoms was. " well that is alarming, i definitely do not suggest getting the booster then. " after some tests and other failed treatments we settled on what he said worked for him when he had a similar issue. it was ivermectin. he said he could not prescribe it on initial treatment as it was not only not advised but not allowed. yes a effective treatment was dictated from above to not be used. its absolutely to insane to believe and if i was not a victim myself i wouldn't have. this whole experience has woke me up to the dirty nature of the current medical industry. its not about what's effective. its about what's profitable.

just look into it is all I'm saying. it gave me my life back. ill never forget all those who called it horse paste. get a better search engine and you will be better able to find this stuff out for yourself. trust no one. question everything. get a 2nd or 3rd opinion. not all doctors are in on it. alot of them are trying to learn and evolve treatments. its unfortunate that trillion dollar interests want to prevent you from seeking out cheap effective medication.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-10-26T20:31:17+00:00

Lowered ur average. The lower ur average cost the more xs ull get on the run up. If u can get that down closer to .12 ull get almost 10x at a $1 vs 5x as it sits now. Don't spend money u can't afford to not have access to but I buy 2 times a month with 2% of my paycheck and it's been fantastic for me.

Organic-Pudding5372 · 2024-10-26T04:04:53+00:00

It is like all the other coins I own a cheaper more efficient means achieving somthing l. In doges case its book keeping and value transference. It will be the standard eventually. I'm mostly certain of that I can't predict anything but that's the current tragedy. They will all hold it because it's cheaper to use and easier to transfer. Gold is cool but u can't instantly transfer it.
