You guys should have taken the time to adapt the difficulty level for keyboard+mouse on the PC. The game is WAY to easy on nightmare.

If i had known how good the game was when i started i should have played with a pad just to get a challenge.

Bethesda and Id - For your future PC games PLEASE adapt the difficulty level for keyboard+mouse.

Otherwise, thank you for an amazing game :)

Even on consoles Nightmare mode is ridiculously easy. In fact in a lot of ways it felt no more difficult than Doom 2's Hurt Me Plenty setting.

id, Nightmare mode used to mean something. I still can't beat even the first few levels of Doom II in Nightmare mode without dying over and over again, and that's a good thing. It's a persistent challenge. It's supposed to be difficult.

For Doom 4, please consider upping the ante a bit in the difficulty sector. Thanks. :)

Great post SheridanR!

They have everything in place with the awesome graphics with perfect atmosphere. Lots of weapon options and building cool stuff but you really don′t need it because the game is so easy. Imagine how amazing it would have been if you needed most of the stuff you′ve got to survive!

Also, regenerating health need to go. Game mechanics like that can ruin any game no matter how good it is.

Still, love the open but directed approach and the whole game in general :smile:

The problem is they went for 60fps on consoles for the driving sequences and had to cut back on the number of monsters mobbing you all at once. Doom 4 is supposed to just be 30fps on consoles (60 still on PC) so they can add the extra monsters.

Id makes arcade style shooters. The 3D version of Pac Man with a shotgun. In the original Doom nightmare level means the monsters all respawn immediately and run at you with lightening speed. With Rage the weapons are all great fun, but there just aren't enough monsters coming at you all at once to make it challenging and the last level doesn't even have a boss monster. Hopefully some modders might be able to make it harder or we might get some challenging DLCs, but I'm sure Doom 4 will be much more difficult. If not their hardcoe fans will never let them live it down.
