Doom: The Dark Ages - Chapter 5 - The Holy City of Aratum - Nightmare 150% - Instructional - HD/60

This is a commentary playthrough of Doom: The Dark Ages on Nightmare (M) settings, focusing on Chapter 5, "The Holy City of Aratum" The Nightmare difficulty has adjusted settings for 150% speed, fast enemy projectiles, and Hard setting for Brink of Death. I'll be explaining the gameplay mechanics to new players and basic tactics and strategies for using the game's weapons, shield and melee weapons, along with recommended equipment upgrades. I'm not an "Ultra-Nightmare"-class/no-deaths player, but I have beaten the game on enhanced Nightmare difficulty and know enough to help you to get through it. This is Ultra Nightmare playthrough I used as a reference for my own game. Note the linked UN playthrough has no commentary    • DOOM: The Dark Ages - TRUE ULTRA-NIGHTMARE...   Here's another UN player that uses the upgraded Impaler in the final arena battle with great results, at the 46:28 mark (they make Impaler upgrades before the battle)    • Doom: The Dark Ages 100% Ultra-Nightmare S...   If the combat action in the video is too fast on 150% speed then you can slow my video down to 0.75 speed in the YouTube player to hopefully understand better what was happening.

I'm using the free version of DaVinci Resolve. Hopefully this will be the only video the problem appears in.
