No matter how much they pack into the visual detail, the textures look like they've just rolled off a factory floor with no spackle or noise. It's difficult to quantify accurately, but the way the lighting is coded only adds to the shiny.<br /> <br /> What I recall of the story was vapid with some dull characterisation and at some point early on you make a choice to save one of two colleagues after which there's a slightly different story arc, I never replayed to find out what the alternative was. Enemies are reasonably varied, but tend to follow the norm where they become bigger more armoured versions of themselves in later levels, and tactics to take them on boils down to 'shoot it more with bigger guns'.<br /> <br /> I did enjoy Doom 2016, but I think the visual style lends itself to space stations/corridors a lot more than the scenerio in The New Order (I appreciate there's a space level in there somewhere).<br /> <br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42562.4&return_msg=42562.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42562.4"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42562_5"></a><div class="message" id="message_42562_5"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">18 Mar 2020 14:03</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">5 of 23</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42562.5">42562.5</a></div> <div class="message_body"> OK thanks guys. I liked the Id product Rage well enough and will probably replay it on my 'new' (2-yo) system at some point because the ending crashed my old one...
