Screen obscured by hud... why?

[Power_Bert]

I would be interested in why the developers decided to obscure 2/3 of the screen by hud and visor elements?
Its used for immersion in metroid prime and system shock but in a fast paced shooter like this it feels highly obstrusive to me.
The map design is claustrophobic enough as it is... i dont need my vision to be forcefully focused on the middle of the screen all the time.

(I know you can switch to "minimal hud" but the game defaults to giant hud with visor on. So there has to be some reason.)

so, you're complaining about the HUD, even while knowing you can tune it to how you want.

why did you make this thread again?

because MAYBE theres people like me who really like it (and really wished doom2016 would have a helmet option, especially since the whole putting the helmet on animation at the start)?

[Geassguy]

It's the default because the devs said so. It really doesn't obscure 2/3rds of the screen that is a pretty big exaggeration. If you're using a high FOV it's even less of a problem. Just be happy they let you reduce and resize it at all.

Some people don't like the hud and couldn't find the option to turn it off, happens
I personally enjoy that helmet blue thing off and am happy I managed to get rid of it.

I had hoped the developers or some game design guru would show up and enlighten me why this design choice was made. Thats all.

One of the devs is a fan of the 3D Metroid games and its visor UI.

It's cool, maybe that's why :)

go into options, and then gameplay. it's a submenu that involves gameplay, like you know, the hud. then set hud to minimal. your welcome for me telling you how to use a menu

Gotta necro this so I can give a big thanks. I was ready to drop this game quick because it really doesn't put its best foot forward. The 'visor', enemy sprite overlays, font choice, and the gratuitous screen effect make the game overall look horrifically amateur.

It doesn't make the game look old or authentic, it makes the game look ♥♥♥♥.

I'm always amazed by how many people don't know how to use a menu, or even check their basic setting before playing a game. Maybe it's just me, but checking out the menus and setting is something I always do before playing anything...

And I'm amazed by people that don't know how to use quotes or text syntax, and also don't have reading comprehension. Clearly from the content of my post, and that the thread we're in is a primary complaint about the HUD being ugly, we can surmise that the intention of my post is to lambast the developers for their abhorrent artistic choices.

You and the other guy, you low-int troglodytes, can, rather than being being passive-aggressive and haughty, instead spend some time in a classroom and learn to f'in read.

Oh we get it. If you'd gone through the menus you'd see there are a lot of options regarding the hud, including disabling it. So you don't like the style of the hud, so what? The dev's liked it, so they made it, deal with it or turn it off ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

That was biggest cope I've ever read. So rather than admitting your mistake and just turning off the hud, you decided to "shift" the argument to aesthetic and then call me dumb. That's pretty dumb bru
