I am playing there too.
Could have sold more if not on gamepass too. I played that there.![]()
Yes and it would have sold way more if it wasn't on gamepass.Clair Obscur sold incredibly well. Much better than anyone could have dreamed of, and it came out on Gamepass a few weeks ago.
I wouldn't call you a casual but I get what you mean. I do think the game was too intense for the average player, generally speaking — and Dark Ages is kinda more of the same, though less intense as far as what you have to manage during combat.Man I'm a casual, I've never got into souls-like games or competitive FPS or anything, but I enjoyed the hell out of Eternal. I liked it a lot more than Doom 2016z It's weird because on paper it sounds like the kind of game I'd give up on after 45 minutes.
I see those types bitching about price more than anything. They'll jump on eventually.Or Eternal players saw Dark Ages was for babies.
Cause the actual GOOD Eternal players would have made 200K peak CCU, lol.Or Eternal players saw Dark Ages was for babies.
Switch 2 players are going to be thirsty.Yes and it would have sold way more if it wasn't on gamepass.
The kicker is Dark Ages runs on the same engine as Eternal as far as I know. So not sure why RT is needed.A lot of the people who played it came out saying it was inferior to Eternal and that it had a weak soundtrack and an even weaker story
Why the Mandatory Ray Tracing? The game gains nothing from it as it looks almost identical to static lighting but performs worse
Doesn't look that much better than Eternal while running magnitudes worse.
And I played Eternal on a laptop GTX 1060.![]()
Yeah, fuck gamepass for saving me tons of money on video games. I want to open my wallet more as a consumer, I simply cannot spend money fast enough! MS is such trash for coming up with this pro consumer idea.Fuck gamepass… destroying sell of good games
Kinda funny to think that they started marketing this one as a "return to the roots".If they'd of made a Doom game..
I'd of bought it
This just isn't Doom to my old arse.

God knows what 'Roots' they've been seeingKinda funny to think that they started marketing this one as a "return to the roots".
I think it's co-op focused... would love to be wrong about that because the first trailer looked great.I'm just hoping the new Painkiller doesn't crap the bed.
Or more like the people who loved Eternal saw this one as a step in the wrong direction.yikes that's horrible, i think they pissed off too many people with eternal, so now those don't give this a chance.
I guess it depends on how that works on the backend between ms and pubs. If a user playing a game no matter how long gets the pub paid then it should count if doesnt then it shouldnt.Let me use you as a example, if you allow it
- That's exactly why 'gamepass users' (just like PS Plus users, whatever this exists as a metric) should not be used as a reliable metric. Here we have a example of an user that tried and did not like a game... but since the game was played via GP, he can be counted as a user to paint a success metric. I already tried some games on PS Plus and uninstalled them in less than a hour because I hated them (in my case, FF XV and Fallout 4)
It's a little bit of both. Dark Ages is the perfect Gamepass game because it's only 15hrs. You can sub for a month, play it and unsub.No surprises here.
The game is on gamepass and people already know that the game is at least "different" in comparison to Eternal (I havent play it, so I wont say if it is good or bad). Why spend so much money on something that you dont know if you are going to enjoy if you can just get it on game pass and call it a day?
This is not a failure to MS tho (the big corpos, not talking about the devs), just like how they planned it.
Their mistake is trying to make Doom feel different. It's Doom. People want Doom to feel like Doom. Imagine if they tried to make Call of Duty vastly different from prior Call of Duty games, there would be riots in the streets. I don't understand why they keep making Not Doom instead of Doom when the game is named DoomIt's a little bit of both. Dark Ages is the perfect Gamepass game because it's only 15hrs. You can sub for a month, play it and unsub.
I also think there is only so much ID can do to make the game feel vastly different from prior Dooms. Dark Ages is very hit or miss with the new changes. Doom 2016 is still arguably the best modern Doom game. Which just goes to show that the franchise has somewhat stagnated. ID has a shitload of talent. I would really like if they tackled a new genre completely, like what Machine Games did with Indiana Jones

they don't even need to change genres. I'd be happy with them putting Doom back on the shelf for a while on getting on some Quake shit. And bring back Reznor for the OST.It's a little bit of both.

People don't want to spend 70$ for the same game they played 4-5 years ago. Even for yearly games like COD or NBA 2k there are changes to the gameplay loop to try and make each release feel distinctTheir mistake is trying to make Doom feel different. It's Doom.

I think folks are looking to shoot, then rip and tear. Doomguy doesn't need to parry demons like a souls game. He just shoots them a lot and then rips out their guts.I think Eternal scared off too many casuals
That's why I don't understand the obsession with threads like this, especially with an IP like DOOM.No surprises here.
