Doom is a series of sci-fi action/horror games from id software, starting with Doom in 1993, and continuing with Doom3 and Doom (2016).
In Doom, you play as a space marine tasked with defeating the unleashed demonic forces of Hell, using a variety of heavy weapons and your own skill against the invading hordes. Doom codified and revolutionized First-Person Shooters, and remains one of the most influential games in the genre.
Feel free to also discuss Doom-engine games such as Heretic, Hexen, and Strife, and any others. Please tag these posts with [game name], to make them easier to distinguish.

I missed a sentinal battery at the very beginning of a level and I was wondering if I could just go in, get it and then exit, or if I have to do the whole mission again. Thanks!
Nothing else to say for the premise but I have the idea for a scene stuck in my head where you’re in a pitch black room (with one of those huge wheel things w eyes all over but you don’t know that), and then it goes to cutscene, and glowing eyes start opening and popping up while the music builds, and then they all close, music goes silent, *dramatic pause*, and then we get the “Be not afraid“ line in a super deep voice, and immediately the beat drops and the room gets lit up to see the full scale of the thing you’re fighting. ok schizo rant over lmk what u think
He came with: Super Shotgun Crucible Plasma Rifle Chainsaw Closed and extended Doom Blade Equipment Launcher And several hands
Playing Sigil 2 and found a bug in E6M4, once the red key has been obtained I progress through the door and raise the red bars and hit the switch. However, the red wall doesn't lower and I'munable to progress. Anyone else encountered this? Found a fix?
Playing through GZdoom.
Hello DOOM players! I am just a user finished DOOM eternal a moment ago and of course loved it(of course DOOM 2016 either). I just wanted to hear and share why do YOU love to play modern two DOOM games like I did! or if there are some elements in games you didn't fully enjoyed, allow me to hear!
I feel that the HP system full of tension has greatly dedicated to make the game experience. For me, It was really exciting experience that dramatically surviving from moment near to death, through performing a Glory Kill.
It will be truly helpful to me you sharing, as a would-be game dev wanting to create a DOOM-styled shooter!
i'm gonna be honest i'm a scaredy cat not a big fan of horror games especially ones that involve jumpscares. but this game has been so fun i'm just proceeding very slowly because i keep putting it off for when i'm less scared. my question is, what do you recommend to make the gameplay less scary? i want to mute it but i feel like sound's a part of the experience, i like the ambience just a bit jumpy when the monsters appear.
don't know if the mod ever come out, but this cover rules
I’m having fun with some mods for DOOM 2 but for certain things I’m told to use some sort of zoom key? I use windows btw
I'm looking around at the mods and I think the only ones that make sense are :
Super Slayer Overhaul
KaiserCampaign? (Haven't understood this one yet)
Equip All Runes at Once
Carmack Reshade
And that's all I can think of for now. Any suggestions from those who replay this game repeatedly?
I have for sure finished Doom Eternal on Ultra Violence in the past, MAYBE even Nightmare I'm not sure just yet.
I am trying to replay the campaign on Nightmare but it is making me unlock everything from scratch all over again. Is this how it is supposed to be? Did I miss some menu selection somewhere?
I used a new save game slot btw. Do I have to reuse an old one?
I just completed all milestones in the game and I still haven’t received the sentinel podium. Does anyone know a fix to this? I’ve already tried the reconcile entitlements button.
After beating every main campaign mission on nightmare, as well as beating the master levels for Super Gore Nest, ARC Complex, and Mars Core on nightmare, as well as beating Horde mode on ultra-violence with 20+ lives left, I'm going to attempt to undertake ultra-nightmare for the base campaign.
Any tips? Gonna need all the help I can get here
So I'm working on my first WAD using GZDoom and UDB and I'm having trouble with launching the wad outside of UDB. I'm probably missing something but essentially my steps are as follows.
Open new map with game config GZDoom: Doom 2 UDMF
Add resources from doom2.wad
made a simple room and spawn point for testing and save
Drag new .wad file onto GZDOOM executable and select doom 2: hell on earth from launch window
Im able to open others tutorial wads and run them through GZDoom but trying with my own just loads up the first default level. I can also send my wad if needed. I know this isn't a mapping subreddit so i apologize if this post is not appropriate.
Thanks so much!
I finally finished the game and beat the spider mastermind boss (on my second try) and the ending is kind of confusing. Samuel Hayden basically takes away your crucible and teleports you somewhere random? So, the game basically ends on a cliffhanger. Overall, I'd give the game a 9/10. I would like to try DOOM eternal because I think it's the next game chronologically but idk, should I? What do you guys think? Do you recommend?
