Make sure to read the FAQ as well.. Moderators reserve the right to interpret the rules as they see fit if something is borderline.


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.

Reminder: Please use Post flairs to help others see what kind of content you're posting.

Help understand some Lore

I have just one question that doesn't make sense to me.. The Khan Maykr was piqued by the Slayer and his ravings about demons in which she had him brought before her and ordering her minions to learn his language, as she wanted to know more about the lands, creatures and a dark place unknown to the Queen and her caste.

But weren't they the ones who sealed Davoth and his people in their realm turning them into the demons and the realm into hell...how was this place unknown to her?

Does the new Official Mod Support disable achievements?

I got Doom Eternal on PC recently and I was curious to try out the new Mod Support they added, but I would like to know if having it activated disables obtainable achievements like in other Bethesda branded games

Thanks

2025 Check-in : Is DOOM Eternal still crashing on PC for you?

Been wracking my brains trying to get it running and reading everyone's posts about how they can't get it running either. Modern hardware + drivers seems to be the overall issue, because I can remember running this on my old GPU just fine.

Can't count how many different "solutions" I've tried, but if you can't get it working or you have ideas on how people can fix it please feel free to post. Getting ready for The Dark Ages and I'm surprised that these issues haven't been fixed across the board.

Thanks!

Anyone else think Dark Ages being 80 euros, having a DRM AND needing a high end graphics card/CPU is a bit .. silly?

Like, idk if this counts as a nuclear take here, but DRMs are known to cause a variety of issues for games, and I also don't see the reason WHY it should be 80 euros. I get that they're profitting off of the good faith they've built up, but it almost feels like it's a bit high and mighty of them.

What's also silly is that if it had a lower price, more would buy it and so they'd get even more bang for their buck, I think. I'm not well versed on the details

...

I also think anyone pre-ordering this is silly..

No Mac support?

I get it's a meme that Doom can run on anything but I was suprised to learn that the steam version didn't support macos. Any specific reason? Am I just being dumb?

ID, I'm sorry but Dark ages looks like it's for children.

The pace, skills, weapons, AND SPEED! All look nerfed into oblivion. You said we're going from a jet fighter to a tank. I'm know ID is trying to expand its demographic but you're trying to do so at the cost of the current one. Go play roblox or minecraft if you don't have the mental space to think on your feet and act in an instant. That's what had always made doom great. Little to no story and awesome FAST paced game play. You're pandering to the winey and weak. The rest of us who like a challenging, fast paced, engaging game [your largest base] are robbed of that. Dark ages can go back to hell. First doom since it's original I will not be playing. GFY ID. Seriously you fucked up.

Theory on the spirit in doom eternal.

I believe the spirits are fully mature female imps that mastered the natruel ability to manipulate Argent energy or hell energy.

The codex says they are spirits fueled by there HATRED of the doom slayer killing them. So why summoners? I believe summoners have this special HATE because of there sapiance and maternal instinct as the doom slayer must have killed thousands of imps which would equate to the idea the summoners being the higher female form of imps therfore these summoners " children " were killed.

There special rage comes from a more righteous anger against the genocide like slaying of imps the doom slayer is known for. The mix of its self awareness and parental instinctual drive mixed with the animalistic rage of most demons, especially these summoners alow it to come back from the dead for revenge of its fallen " children " and kin.

This is 1 theory I have and I wish for the community's thoughts?

The Revenant is such a cool enemy despite the fact that it inexplicably shares a pain sound with zombiemen AND imps.

Doom 2 is such a combination of the best game design I have ever experienced and yet parts of it clearly were made quickly and without love and attention. I really find it frustrating and dissappointing that this bad ass spooky skeleton boy who I love, sounds like a fucking imp that I've been shooting forever in Doom 1 before I moved to the new enemies found in Plutonia. (I gave up on playing Doom 2 when I had to slog though downtown.)

So, how screwed am I with Doom TDA on PC?

After checking the system requirements, I am not sure if my PC will run the game smoothly, at either mid or low settings. I have a Rtx 4060, a ryzen 5 5700g and 32 GB of ram. I just upgraded, so I'm sticking with this setup for a fee more years.

How can you transfer save data to PC?

I played the game originally on my PS5 but I want to transfer my save data to pc. Is there a way to do this or to download some other 100% save data file?

I mainly just want to have all of my guns and skins still unlocked.

If you could pick any Classic Doom enemy to befriend or have as a pet, which one you going with?

I think the Cacodemon will win this but consider the thought of taking your little Arachnotron out for an evening walk?
