Never finished the previous Doom, so I installed it and am excited to play through that first.

Maybe time to finish Wolfenstein games also.....

That's me too. Man I have so many games to play...

I'm still playing Oblivion from 2006!

Oblivion is totally awesome. I really loved that game, even more than Skyrim.

In recent memory, I went back and played Fallout NV with mods and all the updates game is amazing. I think I did almost all of the ending branches. I am still working, so it is hard to sit down and dedicate the time to the games that require you to get sucked in.

Bad news man, Nehrim is an amazing total conversion mod, as good or better than Oblivion, with an enormous territory, a magnificient main story, tons of quests.
It´s another world entirely, not oblivion at all, but magic-medieval too.

By the same geniuses that then made the best total conversion by far, for Skyrim, Enderal. Another continent of the Nehrim world, completely different story, etc.

These 2 mods are my all time favourites mods/total conversions.

Hey Ant, Nehrim is a total mod conversion for Oblivion. You can DL it here.

Did pick up Avorion, though.

Hearing awesome things about this. Let us know.

I'd rather punch myself in the dick. The problem seems to be with USB headsets, both wired and wireless, and is not brand specific.

How the fuck did that even make it past QA?

Dude, Linux is so good that people don't even bother QAing it. They just QA Windows.

For those of you with games to play, I suppose now is the best time to do so especially if you're stuck at home. I've transitioned to work at home.

I started Doom 2016 for the first time yesterday and also completed Doom 1, Doom 2, and Final Doom for the first time this year. Doom 2016 seems to play for frantically as far as the combat goes, I was very slow and plodding while playing those older Dooms to conserve health/armor/ammo.

That's pretty awesome dude. Much respect for people who go back to play the classics they missed, even though there's no nostalgia factor to draw them in.

I'm thinking all guns, infinite ammo, no hud, use monitor's crosshair and I'll be set.

Might as well turn on god mode while you're at it...

Nah, that'd be cheating =p.

I like the challenge and the gameplay without worrying about inventory management. I'd just rather focus on the game Instead of the boring micromanagement. I dont need to improve my ammo management skills, and it's a boring skill to master. I can however also hone my level clear times, which is fun.

For the record I want to get rid of that stupid loot shower mechanic so I can appreciate the gore, but I know I can do that because they've built it as the main health and ammo mechanic, so that can't happen.

Also, not all guns, dont know why I said that. It's really fun to see the progression of new weapons in a game like this.

Doom 2016 was pretty great, even with the fubared multiplayer which was "iffy" but sometimes decent when it worked.

This? From everything I've seen, not the sequel I was hoping for.

Oh fuck off, I have to play through the game to get the cheat codes so that then I can go back and play the game the way I want to enjoy it.

Might have to get Cheat Engine for this one. PITA tho. Maybe I should wait for someone to mod it. For all the amazing art in this game, the flashing rave HUD nonsense for staggered enemies completely ruins the experience for me. And the ridiculous amount of bright neon loot that erupts out of a chainsaw'd enemy would make a japanese RPG blush. Borderlands has more restraint than this game. Every gory melee kill is overshadowed with more loot than an Act boss in Diablo 3.

Took me a while to get into the groove, but if you go Hudless- only with minor dot crosshair teh Doom is.. 1 of a kind experience.. absolutely breathtaking to just rush rip and tear. And even better if you enable the cheat that lets you run faster.. makes the whole game flow even better.

This.

I'm hoping it also gets rid of the flashing outlines of near-death enemies, also I want to get rid of all the flashy loot that spills out of them. You can't even appreciate all of the carnage because it looks like you chainsaw'd a pinata.

I'm thinking all guns, infinite ammo, no hud, use monitor's crosshair and I'll be set.

I play SWBF2 with no HUD and just use my monitor's crosshair, and it's amazing how much better I do when you can just focus on what's happening around you, lets you appreciate all of the artwork much moreso also.

You check the audio settings in the game? Sometimes audio can redirect to weird places, like if you are using speakers and it sends to your headphones because that was default in the windows mixer.

Also settings outside the game in windows.

Also some tips here when I googled:
https://quoramarketing.com/fix-doom-eternal-audio-problem/
Involving turning off spatial sound in windows (something win 10 tries to play at sometimes, called windows sonic)
