After Eternal, I’m not interested in this one. 2016 was fantastic, but Eternal felt all over the place. It tried to tell a story but skipped the entire second "book" between the two games, making it feel unfinished trilogy.
Then there’s the difficulty, easy was too easy, and normal was too hard. I shouldn’t have to choose between surviving 10+ hits (easy) or dying in 3-4 (normal). That’s not balance. And I don’t have the time to ‘git gud’ when the difficulty jump is this extreme.
Considering they already had to tweak difficulty in The Dark Ages, it looks like they’re still struggling to get the scaling right
In the dark ages you can customise the difficulty to a great degree.
It's 300﷼, that's 70 USD i think, what did they expect? I'll wait for it be cracked. I'm patient.
I can buy 12 indie games with that alone.
The game is basically less Doom & more WH40K-ish.
You want a more Doom-like game ? Try SELACO eventhough it's early access, the 1st chapter is long & fun & guess what the devs told the anti-woke mob to fuck off & the devs are getting cancelled for it.
It's basically F.E.A.R+Classic Doom graphics (Uses the GZDoom engine)
DOOM 16 was fantastic, but eternal felt gross. It was a huge step back from 2016, and didn't feel fun. I'm not bothering with the newer games since they essentially are going off gimmicks.
Game is mid imo
The reverse-Midas of Microsoft, whatever they buy turns to shit.
It has nothing to do with quality, most people played it on game pass instead of buying it.
So much I don't know here. Like what an 80.lv is, what their source Alinea Analytics is or what either of their credibility is, why a second source (Ampere) arrived at a PS5 number that deviated from Alinea's by over 100%, why this didn't make 80.lv question the veracity of the claim they opted to put in their headline, what sales even mean in the context of Game Pass, why I would care about the potential profitability of a game I don't care about, why I clicked this post, am writing this comment, or why Microsoft opts to be complicit in Israel's genocide.
They're a market research agency, and are well-known and credible enough. See: https://80.lv/contact-us
I care about industry news. Hence the post.
The only real criticism I have of the game is the price. I think it was a great single player experience, but I totally understand people balking at the $70 price tag.
It was fun, but I put it down once the credits rolled. Nothing inherently wrong with that; cramming a ton of completionist and weekly update content would not have made this a better game.
Maybe I’m just old.
good. i won't buy it until it's $10. and not even then if they haven't removed denuvo at that point
I'm avoiding it because it just doesn't look that fun. I played the last 2 new dooms and they were good, for console shooters. More PC gamers should have higher standards than this. I don't want a dumb story about medieval times, collecting dolls, linear maps, cyberdragon mounts, running from arena to arena and then starting repetitive wave fights. Just make a good shooter please!
You basically summed up why i didnt find the reboot and its dlc any good haha
I watched a few levels of it. This game has already been made. It's called Painkiller and I beat it 20 years ago.
In the UK its £70 ($95) for the base game and £100 ($135) for the full game. Bethesda go fuck yourself.
Edit: Title is somewhat dishonest, it has over 3M players. Just that most are on gamepass. Still not buying it though.
