Enjoying it so far...the only bum note is the poxy platforming.

Find the platforming fine. I'm on PC though so can't comment on consoles controls.

PC as well...could be just me :P

Platforming's fine on the PS4 version.

Played about 90 mins or so and...it's okay, well no it's good but not great imho. As mentioned the platforming aspect is ridiculous, I finally started the latest Tomb Raider trilogy a few weeks back and this really did bring back memories as it was running through the mobility tutorial points. And even then it doesn't work anywhere remotely aswell because of my biggest issue. It just moves 'wrong', which means it feels wrong to me. The last Doom was so fluid, the action and physics had weight whereas this feels like a semi-floaty cheap arcade knockoff. Simple things like anything that has you lunge forward you pretty much just appear at the target, mantling where you are say only barely above the catch point but a split second later your are on the platform.
Lowering the ammo count, making Melee useless outside of Glory Kills or Blood punch, it is going in so hard on making you constantly switch weapons and chainsaw as much as possible that it removes the idea of having a favourite weapon or 2 that suits your style.

Similarly while the action is frenetic it doesn't feel as satisfying as the previous. Chaotic rather than challenging. It all comes back to the feel, 2016 was challenging but fluid, this feels rough.

A telling point is that after looking forward to this as much as anyone else I only played 90 mins before turning it off. The previous, I played it solid for 3 days. I'll probably try some more later and definitely over the weekend but if it doesn't majorly change then for me it's going into the 'Meh' sequel category.

I personally find platforming and dashing a good addition over the old (as in 2016 old) mechanics, it makes it a bit different while still keeping it as more of the same. It's a perfect balance imho.
Also, the meathook.

Dunno if it was mentioned yet but the game's non-DRM exe (crack) was left in the release: http://archive.is/ttqZn
Likely by accident but also possibly on purpose. I doubt most of the staff actually likes Bethesda or ID so it could have been out of spite. Hope to see some comparison benchmarks to see if this suffers longer load times or other performance losses from the DRM like others have shown.

Ah right. Well my friend's library has it so I've downloaded it. Might try it with the DRM free exe and see if that works later.

This is a masterpiece! I avoided every single thing about it since I first saw this thread until last night because I knew it would be my GOTY.

Amazing intro with the distress signals from Earth etc but so much lore and popups and upgrades and other stuff including constant interruptions and unnecessary platforming and wall climbing for the first couple of hours made me a bit nervous that they'd messed it up but then it hits its stride and is completely mad.

Playing on Nightmare enemies are an actual challenge now, you get nervous when you see a mancubus coming and you're dead if you stand still. It's a perfect sequel, they've improved everything. The upgrades and challenges are brilliant and the rewards you get from them are so worth it this time around.

Couldn't ask for more from a sequel tbh, they're ruining other FPSs for me forever with this level of gameplay perfection.

I put in about 3 more hours last night and tbh it is getting better. It still has the issues I mentioned earlier where the movement is off and it feels too floaty/arcadey but the later levels are a lot more fun than the initial few tutorial areas. It's improved enough to where I do want to see where it goes, whereas after the first 90mins or so on Friday I had little interest and even considered refunding it.

Obviously it's down to personal preference, for me it's still 10/10 and the best game ever made. Yes, that means it's better than Doom 2016 which now becomes the second best game ever made.

Yes, you should get decent performance (60+ fps) at 1080p as long as you don't crank everything all the way up.
