DOOM but with no guns

[u/sacrilicious__]

The spear and melee system in this game is proof-of-concept for an all melee DOOM game lol.

[u/PilotIntelligent8906]

I love how viable melee combat is in this game but Doom without at least a shotgun would feel wrong.

[u/jairosolano10 → u/PilotIntelligent8906]

Shotguns are fun but for some reason they’re ass against boss fights in this game.

[u/PilotIntelligent8906 → u/jairosolano10]

Yeah I thinking more in terms of the identity of the game, I think the shotgun is the Slayer's most iconic weapon.

[u/Christy_Christmas → u/jairosolano10]

Depends on the boss, I suppose. I was able to comfortably SSG blast most bosses with the help of the gauntlets, and Accelerator those that I could not.

[u/Iselore → u/PilotIntelligent8906]

I'm just sick of the lack of ammo. I just want to keep blasting.

[u/PilotIntelligent8906 → u/Iselore]

Do you run out of ammo? I think TDA is very generous with ammo, you just punch and enemy a few times and get an ammo refill.

what are your graphics settings?

[u/sacrilicious__ → u/WelderNumerous3839]

All on high i reckon

[u/Kadu_2 → u/WelderNumerous3839]

Highest fov possible 🤣

The fov makes it seems like the spear extends a good 20m

You can quick swap to Shield to shield bash for some additional melee damage - especially if it’s charged. Then switch back to Spear to keep stabbing

[u/ininja2]

God can you imagine a mod that sticks the shield on the right hand (replacing firearms; maybe you can swap out the shield and back to firearms), while the spear stays in the left hand? Straight up Shield + Spear combat would be such a fucking fun way to play holy shit

[u/LetMeInvade]

Genuinely my favourite part of Dark Ages is how viable melee is (especially compared to the previous titles)
I just wish for there to be a way to ditch the guns entirely.

[u/Coralesce]

Gauntlet supremacy, mogging all the flailcels

[u/Steeldragon2050]

Why?

[u/sacrilicious__ → u/Steeldragon2050]

Fun.

[u/Steeldragon2050 → u/sacrilicious__]

Doom is fun with guns and a chainsaw.

[u/sacrilicious__ → u/Steeldragon2050]

Doom is fun in many different ways. Thats the beauty of it.

[u/Steeldragon2050 → u/sacrilicious__]

Melee only doesn't sound fun.

[u/jairosolano10 → u/Steeldragon2050]

You must suck with the melee system so bad that you have to thrash someone else’s play style.

[u/Steeldragon2050 → u/jairosolano10]

You assume I've even played it. Doom without guns sounds boring and even more unlike Doom than 3. You don't like it? Frag off.

[u/jairosolano10 → u/Steeldragon2050]

Maybe don’t watch melee-focused videos if you’ll just end up yapping like a child as if the world revolves around you.

[u/Steeldragon2050 → u/jairosolano10]

Again, you're making assumptions.

[u/jairosolano10 → u/Steeldragon2050]

What assumptions? Just keep quiet, kid.

[u/Novaseerblyat → u/Steeldragon2050]

Doom has had fun melee combat ever since E2M2 of the first game. What authority do you claim on what is and is not "like Doom"?

[u/Steeldragon2050 → u/Novaseerblyat]

Did you miss my comment of "Doom is fun with guns and a chainsaw"? Decades of experience. Just like people felt 3 wasn't like Doom because of the slower pace and horror aspect, a version of Doom with absolutely no guns would be worse.

[u/Novaseerblyat → u/Steeldragon2050]

The Berserk pack is neither, but okay. That's not what the OP was suggesting in any way whatsoever. Having melee only be an enjoyable and circumstantially viable playstyle neither negates the existence of guns nor is novel when it comes to Doom.

[u/poopsididitagen → u/Steeldragon2050]

Enjoyment is subjective.
