Its a decent game. Seemed to do fairly well, with everyone but the eternal crowd.

im not saying it isn't, im just saying it didn't look like a "Oh my god i must play this game right now".

When it goes on sale for cheap it'll probably sell loads because I imagine many people will jump in being like "why not, this could be fun for a week".

It's now in the low 50 euro range on the latest PSN sale. I contemplate getting it as I enjoyed the trial, but I also have a bit too much on my plate right now. I imagine it'll be in the 40 range on the next inevitable sale during Christmas. Decisions, decisions.

TDA already had a 33% off sale which bumped its players to 1.3k for that weekend.

Eternals first sale was 25% off a few months after launch and was at 7.6k players for that weekend. Im sorry but thats the reality, its the worst in the modern triology, and the player numbers reflect that.

We're not talking about quality here tho. I am ofc not disagreeing about being the worst, in fact I also consider it pretty mid with Eternal being a million times better. I'm just saying, that its players will increase/drop over time based on its price and in 10 something years youll still see people playing it.

While I agree on the Quake reboot part - calling Doom a dead franchise seems a little extreme. Game was still pretty well received and managed to break in to the top 20 for the year for a decent amount of time. It might be time for a pause to work on a different IP but I would imagine they still consider Doom viable.

I hope you are right, sincerely! And it will be more like Doom 2016.

I enjoyed the game but I'd rate it below Eternal and 2016 personally. I did actually enjoy the melee/parry "stand and fight" mechanics. The whole thing had a Masters of the Universe vibe which was awesome.

One thing that I thought was a little lame, it seemed like they were trying sooooo hard to make Thira into a thing. Wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to make a spinoff or DLC starring her.

In this universe they've covered DOOM and Quake, she seems like a Hexen / Heretic

That's the problem they have - the audience is very divided - some want more Eternal, some want more Doom 2016, some want more of the original Doom.

This game makes me lament for a true heretic/hexen modern game. Would have been better just shifting Doom to Fantasy and just do the fantasy.

Give me three classes and take on the serpent riders or whoever the fuck.

MS owns the rights. Give it to Id and boom. Much better than Doom Eternal.
