You're regretting subscribing to a service because it doesnt have path tracing? A feature which most liley cuts its performance on half even on a 5090 and should not be used in a high pace shooter anyway since you wont even notice the difference in actual gameplay scenarios? Are you retarded?

Glad I didnt preorder. All that parrying is fucking ridiculous

Ohh yeah by the time the 3070Ti came out, that was the height of the crytpo boom so those inflated prices were wild.
But around launch before the boom 30 series cards werent that hard to fine.
I got a 3060Ti for near MSRP.......damn that was sub 500 dollars.
And we really need to give credit to Ampere it was reasonably priced if you could find one around MSRP (EVGA still existed) and the performance outside of 8GB RAM has actually held up really well even two generations later.
If it was for circumstance id still be on a 3080 with no feeling of upgrading till the RTX60s.

I'm so baffled by these mechanics and aesthetics in a Doom game. Dragon flying, mechs, parrying, blocking all this shit. I get wanted to shake things up but...it's Doom not the devs' random Action Game canvas.
I'm sure it's a fine game in its own right but I look at rhe footage and wonder how this isn't some Resident Evil 6 level Michael Bay idiocy.

Yeah, its my bad for not waiting to see if its there on launch, just assumed it would be since theyve shown it off multiple times already. Ill just wait and get it later, no biggie.
I am one of those people who dont mind using dlss and frame generation, plut it likely wont be such a drastic hit because the game already uses RT.

Sounds a bit like conflicting expectations from some reviewers. The traditional Doom games are there if you want to play those. You can only take that so far, without repeating the same game over and over. Im just expecting a good action game out of it, and I love parrying and shit in Dark Souls.
Think Im gonna find out for myself, when the early access starts.

How so? That game was incredible

Way too fast and chaotic for me, and some arenas really got me exhausted, and I deeply loved Doom 2016, so it was kind of disappointing
It's just a different vibe, but I know many people really like Eternal

I liked both 2016 and Eternal so I'm def onboard with this. I bounced off Eternal when it came out, but came back to it recently and it clicked.

It's so far removed from Doom though. I mean, dragons? Mechs?
What even is this
Id have lost the plot.

As Gmanlives describes it, they go on for too long for the (lack of) complexity of those fights.

The same thing Doom 3 was different, i mean horror and jump scares.

But is it Doom though?
Doom 3 was certainly in the vein of a Doom game though. Closed corridors, slow paced, it was even a bit scary..
Zero dragons.

Slow paced, a Doom game? Eh, not so sure about that, buddy.But is it Doom though?

Doom 3 was not a fast paced game..

No. Just Quake 5.But is it Doom though?
Would love another Doom 3. A Doom inspired by Half Life level design would be great. I love atmospheric Horror Shooters.
Dark Ages feels like a cartoon with it's color coded prompts and bullets and mostly derpy looking enemy types.

I mean the progression isn't random, each nu-Doom game since 2016 has been taking more influence from character action games. This one is just putting you into more of a tank role, which I don't know if I'll like as much, but at least they're not getting boring with each new entry.
Dragon flying and mechs fight seem pretty metal to me though, and I'm surprised the series hasn't done those two things before tbh.

If you think that of TDA then what did you think of Eternal with its color splashes?
amigastar
Member
Yes, i know thats why i'm saying Doom 3 wasn't a traditional Doom game because Doom 3 was slow and Doom 1 and 3 from 1994 were fast.Doom 3 was not a fast paced game..

Didn't realize this wouldn't have path tracing at launch. Definitely won't be playing day one in that case.
Oh well, I'm fine with waiting a bit.

I thought of it as Doom: Pinata instead of Doom: Eternal. Or Doom: Bad Ammo Economy.If you think that of TDA then what did you think of Eternal with its color splashes?

Mortis stays out of politics and talked about it from a gameplay perspective and even then he still says the other titles are better. Why do people go after this dude so much? I don't understand it: he's everything you guys say you want it out of journalist in terms keeping personal politics out, focusing on mechanics and experiences and gives his views on such.

I meant Doom 1 and 2 not 3 were fast, just a typo.
And Doom 1 and 2 is fast.

reminds me of how Mercury Steam introduced parry into Metroid on the 3DS (and the new one, but I haven't played that) and I absolutely hated it. It was constantly used too, required by every enemy's pattern, as if the devs didn't know how to make normal gunplay fun on its own as it used to be.

If their defining factor is Doom being anything deemed "Metal", the direction this series should be going in is slowly introducing Guitar Hero mini-games until we have to learn full Iron Maiden solos to parry and attack enemies. That would also tie back into Nu Doom's pseudo character action ambitions by taking inspiration from DMC3's Nevan!
Why am I not working for these people yet?

The games are giving me vibes that the devs might've used metal genres as a guideline for how to evolve the gameplay.
Doom 2016 - Heavy Metal
Doom Eternal - Speed/Trash Metal
Doom TDA - Power Metal
The music in of itself dosen't line up with this theory, but still kind of fit IMO. Been watching some more gameplay and it does looks somewhat fun, so will probably pick it up at a future discount/sale.
As for Mortis, over the years he's just become another algorithm-chasing, content-pumping, top list-churning, sponsorship-friendly "influencer". Good for him for getting that bag, but might aswell watch Gameranx/IGN.

Original Doom games for me always had nice balance of frantic action and tight dark corridors, it sure feels like strsght on speedy shooter because everyone and their grandmother can play it eyes closed today. Doom3 was about those dark claustrophobic tech and hell corridors anf new Doom IMO too much emphasizes the speed and hectic action, it's certainly missing a good chunk of what original Doom was about.

U got shown 3080ti which is basically few %(1-3% if no vram problems) cut down 3090(i know coz i got 3080ti in my desktop pc), just add 1-2fps to 3080ti score and u golden( other similar gpu's would be 4070ti or 5070 but here can be variance 5-10% even coz of newer archi- just for future so u dont have to wonder about ur gpu scores when looking at gpu perf charts ).

Have you tried that mod on the PC? Stick a pad in, kick back, pure, pure Doom bliss
Not sure, never really considered them fast games, especially Doom 64, and nowhere near what these so called boomer shooters achieve today..
Where as Doom Eternal is just~
