I'm getting into the Doom lore recently and the Matyr are not angels but rather powerful aliens.Unfortunately, Doom eternals heckin epic lore and plot where you kill bad guy god and the angels were like totally the bad guys the whole time (so deep dude) turned me off to nudoom.
I just can't muster excitement for this one.
Folk saying this isn't like DoomIt's never felt MORE like Doom.
Grounded, large areas/rooms, loads of enemies, strafing projectiles.
Eternal was just too mental in comparison, having to continually jump up high and drop down, step through portals, and fling yourself to other sides of the map on launchers - headache inducing (I liked Eternal by the way).
You can crank the sliders to your liking to make things ever better.Only played for a bit over an hour, and it's so much easier on Nightmare compared to Eternal. Not sure why they would nerf the difficulty for those who want a sweaty fps.
Are you asking for Doom to try something new or id to try a new IP?Is that Doom 27.5?
Please try something new!
I thought of doing this, but when i choose Nightmare, i kinda expect it to be that. We shouldn't need to modify anything. The way Nightmare is, is the way ID designed it to be, and it's simply not good enough this time around.You can crank the sliders to your liking to make things ever better.
Doom Lore got dumb with Eternal. 2016 had some mystery to it. I liked it better when the Doom Marine was just a regular guy and they didn't lol Demigod powers. Cheapens it a bit especially since there is no backstory or build up to it.Unfortunately, Doom eternals heckin epic lore and plot where you kill bad guy god and the angels were like totally the bad guys the whole time (so deep dude) turned me off to nudoom.

Not that anyone cares about the Doom Cinematic Universe™ but the Doom Slayer of the reboot trilogy is the same one from DOOM 64, which is a different universe from the OG PC titlesDoom Lore got dumb with Eternal. 2016 had some mystery to it.

It wouldn't be so bad if Doomguy and Doomslayer are separate entities but I believe they are the same. I think only Doom 3 Doom Marine is a separate guy.
But you have to understand for better or worse Doom is set up like the 90's comic or a Saturday Morning Cartoon show so despite the story wanting to be serious you aren't really supposed to take it as such. Lots of clashing elements at play.
Meanwhile I feel the Lore of Turok being based on it's comic series has been done more justice and makes sense in it's own universe. Of course that might change with Turok Origins.
Cool. Did not know this. Eye opener.Not that anyone cares about the Doom Cinematic Universe™ but the Doom Slayer of the reboot trilogy is the same one from DOOM 64, which is a different universe from the OG PC titles
So the universes are:
DOOM (1993), DOOM II, Final DOOM
DOOM 3, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil
DOOM 64, Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Doom: The Dark Ages
Nah, Doom 64 takes place after Doom 2. They're aren't separate universes from all the stuff I've seen.Not that anyone cares about the Doom Cinematic Universe™ but the Doom Slayer of the reboot trilogy is the same one from DOOM 64, which is a different universe from the OG PC titles

Where's Doom 3 and Final Doom/The Plutonia Experiment, etc.?![]()
Apparently The Dark Ages fits between DOOM 64 and DOOM 2016.
But all of the visuals in the image involve THE DOOM marine/guy/slayer.
They said multiple times that DOOM 3 was an influence and they like to touch on it, but they like to consider that character in DOOM 3 as a completely different marine. Maybe in a completely different universe/timeline.
After watching this I don't think it will be a priority even on sale.
Doom 3 isnt part of the main lore aka the classics + last 3.Where's Doom 3 and Final Doom/The Plutonia Experiment, etc.?
Explain. Last I knew, they said every Doom is part of it.Doom 3 isnt part of the main lore aka the classics + last 3.
Gotta admit, this definitely cooled my hype quite a bit. Especially coming off of E33, this parry system by comparison seems like a joke. The traversal and the many "secrets" are all just telegraphed with GIANT glowing icons and leaves basically no sense of discovery.
It really does feel like they take their player base as idiots or they are just trying to appeal to everyone too much so that anyone with a pulse can play it.
I was planning to get it eventually when it hit around $50 but I'm willing to wait now for around $30. Still want to play it, but now it's firmly in the "i'll get around to it some day" category. Can't believe they're actually charging $70 for this.
Eternal forces u to use different weapons coz of lack of amo, when in doom 2016 u could for the most part use ur fav one, not the ones u barely tolerate coz they are part of the game.Not giving the Doom Guy a lame millennial retcon story for one. And not feeling like a DLC.
2016 felt more like a classic Doom.
The connoisseurs of fun and quality over at 4chan called it "parryslop" and I am still laughing.
Explain. Last I knew, they said every Doom is part of it.
The lore is detailed in Doom Eternal
on screen Doom 1 + 4 episodesWhere's Final Doom/The Plutonia Experiment, etc.?
Yeah I got no patience for excessive tutorial shit like that.What i don't get it how he does not mention the God fucking awful first level, I watched my cousin play it in gamepass thursday (which cemented me in not buying the game)
It is one of the literal worst tutorials in modern gaming. They bombard you with text boxes and stick you in a corridor and force you to do "the mechanic" or your not allowed to progress. You know that bit in 2016 where you come out the monitor room and are given a zombie to execute, imagine that with 3-5 page pop up boxes every 10 seconds for 10 minutes strait. Its fucking awful.
i dunno, i loved 2016, hated Eternal and i've been having a damn good time with Dark Ages so far - I believe it strikes a good balance between the 2Probably all the people who liked 2016 saw all the changes in Eternal and the lack of Multiplayer and decided to not come back for TDA
No amount of Raytracing, 70 dollar price point or Game Pass arguments will change the fact that it's just not doing as well as the first two games

Yeah, those sales tho.![]()
"Thank you for making DOOM: The Dark Ages the biggest launch in id's history - 7x faster to 3 million players than DOOM Eternal."
Numbers are numbers to a lot of studios. Steam doesn't equate everything.Yeah, those sales tho.
No clue, but it's obnoxious. Suddenly everyone is an armchair sales analytics person. I just think it's because people have an obsession with stuff failing, or they want to see things they don't like fail. I don't know, it makes no sense to me, lmao. Feels like a bunch of wasted time and energy.Can someone please explain to me what is this new CCU obsession is all about?
Not my job. If you give me pre set difficulties, i expect hard to be hard. Otherwise get rid of the pre sets if i have to do it myself anyway.You can crank the sliders to your liking to make things ever better.
Obsession with numbers always existed. Be it sales or otherwise. CCU is the only objectively true metric we have access to so that's what is discussed. If we knew sales numbers, people would be discussing that. Just like spotify numbers are a metric people use when discussing music, it's the number we can know.Can someone please explain to me what is this new CCU obsession is all about?
I have no opinion on it honestly. Some people like the amount of customization they provided, some don't. I couldn't careless TBH.Not my job. If you give me pre set difficulties, i expect hard to be hard. Otherwise get rid of the pre sets if i have to do it myself anyway.
Makes sense. Getting obsessed with numbers is such a waste of timeNo clue, but it's obnoxious. Suddenly everyone is an armchair sales analytics person.

Yes obsession with numbers always existed but sales only. CCU doesn't represent that and its a waste of timeObsession with numbers always existed. Be it sales or otherwise.

Apparently The Dark Ages fits between DOOM 64 and DOOM 2016.
Speaking of lore, I've seen some talk on reddit that the Doomslayer in TDA is actually the Dark Lord?
It's metrics NPD/Sales Gaf now has to rummage through due to these companies being shady/dodgy with their numbers.Can someone please explain to me what is this new CCU obsession is all about?
