To each his own - I enjoyed new Wolfs immensely because of nicely developed lore and characters. Not to says I don't enjoy new Doom, but they should let another studio make a Doom game that has that deep lore and character development.

If they had more stuff you could read about, but not required to do, that would be very very cool.  Stuff to fill your reading when you want to take a break. 

After playing Doom some more and watching my son play, I'd say it & Wolf:TNO have near identical gameplay.  In Doom you have the gore thinggies you must destroy, in Wolf they lock a door and you must wipe out the AI that spawned in before you can continue.  Exact same gameplay, just Wolf threw in a Polish girl for you where as Doom has a girl that looks like a robot.

Can u go back and play previous maps with the upgrades u gained in the maps that came after?

You can go back and replay maps & find secrets (and play the classic maps you find) but I don't want to possible loose my progress by seeing if I keep all my gear when I replay.

Two fun screens. One is someone thought they should stack pop on top of noodles in the middle if an invasion, and the other is to show that even in the future, corp's cover their butts (imagine the death & dismemberment payouts from this base!  )

I finished a map last night so I tried and yes, you keep everything you have when you go back to a previously completed map.

Didn't I say this game was perfect already?

[The Happy Friar]

Game crash and corrupted my save files. All my progress now lost.  No more stats for the missions I've done. 


~8 hours of gameplay, poof, gone.

[VGames]

That sucks. Anybody else have this problem?

[The Happy Friar]

Lots of people from reading the Steam & Bethesda forums.  The only comment Bethesda has said is that it's because people use the console, but me (and lots of others) got this and never loaded up the console.

It's the downside to the game.  Every time I get the "cheater" warning I validate my files and Steam says one is bad & needs redownloading, so I'm thinking it's an anti-cheat thing: checksum of the files doesn't match what they should be = cheater.  The issue is that once you play a SP game or make a Snapmap with the "developer mode" active, you can never un-developer mode it.  So you can no longer get achievements, can't post that snapmap, etc.

Wow not good. I'm sure they'll fix this. Hopefully by the time i get it.

Perhaps HDD issue? Or Windows 10 issue? I am on Win 7 and haven't had any issues whatsoever (keeping fingers crossed).

[VGames]

Hope so. I'm using win 7 too.

There doesn't seem to be anything common across the people who reported it.  Once I re-verified my files I never had an issue from the second day I started playing until yesterday.  Of course nobody posts their system specs any more so who knows.    Bethesda doesn't seem to interesting in responding to people with the issue to try to figure it out & there's no way to get a crash log as far as anyone has been told. 

Could be because of the streaming loading: files are being read more often so when something goes wrong it can get worse.

Looks like I'll be playing single player until I beat the game before goin online.
