[CrimsonTide]

I wanted a proper Doom, not this shit.

They hardly had to reinvent the fucking wheel. Just give me Mars, a double barrel, PS1 ambient music and no shitty bullshit story/cutscenes. And ffs, not in the style of these new so called 'Boomer shooters' (Urgh, that term) that are just ADHD simulators on speed..

Just DOOM!!!

Jesus christ, whys is it so fucking hard?

Modern AAA is total bollocks!

Thanks.

Yep, same here. I need Mars and a shot gun. I would like even a "sequel" to Doom 3 as well.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Wow 5070ti performance sucks in this. This cant be right.

Path tracing especially? RDNA 3 and 4 on the heels of nvidia cards? Doom sponsored by Nvidia? Something is wrong

 

[poppabk]

Of course after everyone seething about Eternal for years, suddenly it's amazing and TDA is a "downgrade"

Doom is a really decisive franchise it seems. Everyone seems to have their own idea of what Doom is or what it should be.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Can't you just skip the cutscenes?

Probably

Yep, same here. I need Mars and a shot gun. I would like even a "sequel" to Doom 3 as well.

And none of that BFG Edition nonsense either!

 

[vaibhavpisal]

They need to shake things up and do a new Quake next or else another reboot. Game seems good, but also feels like the formula established in 2016 is running its course.

Did you play Doom Eternal?

Its completely different from Doom 2016. Not sure what formula is here.

Dark Ages also seems to be departure from Eternal. Which seems to be a concern. If they mess up gameplay while trying something new, there is no saving it.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Somehow I'm more excited for Borderlands 4 which is kinda sad. Looks like they hyperfocused on their Panzer Dragoon and Kaiju Mecha portions and the whole glowing eyes Doom Marine is lame. Never liked where the story went in Eternal. 2016 was decent.

I too would like a new Doom in the vein of Doom 3 but I don't think that'll happen ever.

If I pick this up it'll be on a sale. Just not feeling it with this one.

 

[Matchew]

Surprised MattyP didn't seem to enjoy the changes to the gameplay.

Are you? The dude is bummed out all the time.

Yeah I preferred Eternal's more frantic gameplay over 2016. I'm cautious about Dark Ages because its leaning towards 2016.

Lol it's hilarious you said that because after I posted that I realized he's been kind of down all literally every single Xbox game release this year. He did have high praise for E33 and Oblivion though. Then he later released a video on Oblivion about the bugs which to be fair seems to be an issue later in the game.

 

[ResilientBanana]

85-90

9070 XT is outpeforming the 5080 in this game

Not natively. But it is punching above it's weight.

I 100% agree and wish they'd just do 2016 again with different maps. But Dark Ages minus does look better than eternal in terms of tone and atmosphere imo.

 

[GHG]

What happened? I don't watch his videos.

He claims to "100%" all of the games he reviews, meaning getting all of the achievements. But for some of the games he's done that for it would be impossible to get some of the achievements he's got in the amount of play time he's had with them. There was a thread on reddit about it a while ago.

His game of the year was Dragon Age Veilguard. That should tell you everything you need to know about him

BTW the metacritic score went up to 86

Damn that's crazy that it jumped two points. So quickly it was just at 84.

 

[PectacularOz]

It litetarally INVENTED deathmatch.. its own dm.exe for ms-dos to set up multiplayer.
And now? Single player only Returnal ripoff.

 

[MagusMajul]

Also the guy whose 100% gimmick is fraudulent.

i hate randy pitchford so much he is such an ugly douche

It's obvious he gets prerelease codes and gets to play weeks in advance. It's rather disingenuous.

 

[GHG]

No, we are talking about games where it would take upwards of 300 hours to get certain achievements.

"We're going to bring Doom into a more open world...and ask you to block and parry a lot."

That thesis never made any sense.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Probably cheats then.

 

[T4keD0wN]

"We're going to bring Doom into a more open world...and ask you to block and parry a lot."

That thesis never made any sense.

Bigger maps and sequels are like the most common theme in gaming, blocking is a natural fix/replacement for the disorienting dodging in Eternal, makes more sense than the previous one imo.

Probably cheats then.

With the amount of reviews he pushes out, id say itd impossible for a single human to do so, likely uses steam achievement manager, but id like to see someone do the math.

 

[Balducci30]

I respect them for reinventing each game, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed it's gone more 2016 vs eternal, eternal is one of the best FPS games ever imo

Good OTs are always appreciated, thank you!

 

[R6Rider]

I'm not sure why you think you have the right to share a picture of me and my dad Topher on here.

 

[Bulletzen72]

It litetarally INVENTED deathmatch.. its own dm.exe for ms-dos to set up multiplayer.
And now? Single player only Returnal ripoff.

Eh! Doom may have done multiplayer first but it wasn't really all that fun. A distraction from the meat and potatoes of single player. Quake was when multiplayer BLEW THE FUCK UP! Quake 1 is my favourite I.D. game and that is for the single player content, but despite that I always associate the Doom series for single player and the Quake series for multiplayer.

 

[VolticArchangel]

About as much as I expected. Here, let me pull a O onQ123 and Obama-medals-Obama myself:

I want it to be in the 90's, but voted 86-90, as most reviewers won't like boomer shooters or most of them haven't played them before and love modern military shooters with low ttk or class based hero shooters.

Classic arena shooters won't break the 90 MC barrier, ever.

 

[AndrewRyan]

Another engineering marvel

 

[VolticArchangel]

Also, W Draugoth for adding MC scores and hyperlinks to OP which you haven't in the past. This is better.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Hope we get Eternal 2 next.

Most don't want Eternal but what if they did the least expected and unpopular move, and make successor to DOOM 3 !!

 

[Windom Earle]

Holy shit OP, cool it with the marketing

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Bigger maps and sequels are like the most common theme in gaming, blocking is a natural fix/replacement for the disorienting dodging in Eternal, makes more sense than the previous one imo.

Bigger maps are good at giving players more interesting logistical choices.

Blocks and parrying don't improve with larger levels. The nature of the mechanic distills player focus down to the space between them and the AI...which is almost always a straight line. They don't synergize.

 

[SpokkX]

I hope it is more og Doom 1/2 than Eternal.

Eternal just felt exhausting after a while. More like a multiplayer Quake match - really liked it but it was not really Doom for me

Maybe he just does as much completionist work as can be achieved in the review window?

This is a play style not usually covered by reviewers who just speed through the main quest and some side stuff.

He makes a point of showing off his achievements on Steam.

He's 100% using one of those steam achievement programs, his reviews are generic as they come.

The thing that did him in was wartales becuase the game was bugged at the point of his "review" and it was impossible to get 3 of the achievements until months later when they patched the game, but at the point of his review it showed him as having all the achievements.

 

[Spukc]

Needs framegen to run at 60fps at 1440p on a 4070?

Eternal ran like a dream, was expecting better.

30 fps on a fucking 3080 lol that was an 900 euro card . Then again it's on the bullshit max settings and no you won't notice

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Jesus Christ. You'd think mort banged some of y'all's moms.

Yes, I started to notice the same thing. The guy knows how to play the youtube game for sure.

 

[FUBARx89]

I haven't been sold on it looking like a bullet hell with parrying and blocking since day 1. I'm still not really sold on it now.

 

[Black_Stride]

30 fps on a fucking 3080 lol that was an 900 euro card . Then again it's on the bullshit max settings and no you won't notice

The 3080 launched at 700 dollars, no way that translated to 900 euro.
And its a half decade old card.
Look at the performance of the 2080Ti that was a bazillion euro card.

3080 so great nice
has just enough vram to run console tier textures with aggresive upscaling (dlss performance). but also has the advantage of being able to utilize dlss 4 nowadays so dlss performance looks incredible
probably would push 55-70 fps with 4k dlss performance ? which should look like native 4k with dlss 4 (it was already great with dlss 3 though)

 

[Salmon Snake]

The reviews seem to be just as I have felt about this game. Just a got feeling.

Love 2016 and Eternal. I just replayed them on PS5 with Dualsense Edge and they are simply magic.

Dark Ages just doesn't have that "umpf".
Will be buying it tho.

I haven't watched any videos about the game because I don't want to be spoiled buy maybe I'll listen Gmanlives' review..

Actually it translated to 2000 euro's because it was sold out for months.

I was able to snatch one for 830 and that was a crazy deal. Also sold out in seconds

 

[T4keD0wN]

The 3080 launched at 700 dollars, no way that translated to 900 euro.

Ive paid about 900euros for a 3070ti and it was a steal, cheapest one in my country by 300euros at the time.

And its a half decade old card.

These things dont really matter anymore when half a decade card (3080) gets the same performance as a fresh 5070. This stagnation sucks, i wanna buy a new card, but going from a 4080 to 5080 is just like getting a replacement rather than upgrade.
