played a few chapters and so far i think its ok at best, hate the mech, hate the dragon, hate the story, generic music, hate that it plays more straightforward, that ur mostly a tank where there were more platforming before, that they removed the glory kills but now i have to spam that punch button and not only that it takes longer but looks cheap as well, too many secrets, looks good but thats about it. i like 2016 and loved eternal from very early on but this one i aint feeling it

I’m about halfway through and as good as it is, it’s a bit of a repetitive boring slog at times! The dragon riding stuff was super cool but I think I preferred Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. Maybe the environments were more appealing in the previous games. Surely ID Software will give Doom a rest and return to Quake next. I would really like a Quake reboot and remake of Quake 2 specifically.

The feedback on the damage received is so so bad.

The pea shooters audio design trend continues. That shoulder canon looks atrocious and the sound it makes is unbearable.

Dragon Riding was the lamest part of the whole game, and it dragged on for far too long! The whole game is about parrying not shooting anymore. Vey lame!

Interesting, only 31k peak player count so far (steam). Eternal had over 100k.

Gamepass bait game, or just one that looks.. not so good?

Well, you do need a card that has RT in order to even launch the game, right? That might be a factor for thae lower numbers too.
Pretty retarded decision even if it doesn't affect most of us here on da humps.

Well, price point was M$. That's for sure. Question is whose decision was obligatory raytracing. I'm sure that devs can benefit by focusing on one lighting souce only, but did they, since game is also availabe on Xbox S, where raytracing is so limited that it's practically non existent.

Finished this on gamepass for 2.50 euro, doom 2016 and eternal much much better, in this game weapons and upgrades are not interesting, no wow effect, i mean i wanna shoot stuff/enemies, not to be bothered do i have ammo or not, if not then i need to melee enemies. Why did they remove mini gun? Whole game did feel like a chore here and there with uninspired design levels.

2016 and eternal ran like butter on toasters and looked great. High price + no scalability in graphics settings that require RT + Derpnuvo = this game REALLY doesn't want anyone to buy it. Annoying gameplay additions aside, 2016 is what most felt like doom. It's been increasingly more visual diarrhea and hindreance to player freedom ever since. If there's only one specific way to kill an enemy it gets tedious and boring pretty quick.

how is this a twitch shooter? why do u need to spam every thread with ur bs?

even if the game is not great thats because the previous 2 games exist, its still far better than watever is out there

I finished it yesterday. It was often too close to mediocrity for the sequel of such solid games. I'm going to post my steam review because I'm too lazy to write another wall of text. Laughing

even though i am not done w the game i'd agree w most points in your review.

since i got to play this for free i am not going to complain, i am enjoying it for what it is.. but this is def not worth the €80 price of admission on steam

finished, by the end i liked it more and still a good game overall but disappointed, easy even on hard, much bloat like story/mech/dragon, have to use the map more for hidden stuff for upgrades, meh music. still the shield is nice, they said they were inspired by the leonidas scene in zack snyders 300 and they nailed it, the shield mechanic is very satisfying and combat still great

This and people are only gonna pay full price for a game that offers something new and fresh.
In the past a game was outdated in 2-3 years cause of hardware improvement.
No you can just pick up a 10 year old game and it still looks fine. There is just way more competition then a decade ago when people just played everything that was okish at release.
This is just another Doom game. In the past, the new Doom was THE new Doom, cause it looked better then the previous one.
Though times for the AAA devs, hard to make a buck. Think big releases will be ever more rare. Only devs that do one thing and do it very good and take a lot of time to release the perfect game, like Rockstar and Larian, can please gamers these days.
