Doom The Datk Ages

It slows down the action

Oh no! I'm not going to have to down a pot of coffee and contract ADHD to play this game? Say it ain't so!

Next you're going to be telling me the game is based around thinking and coming up with my own solutions to challenges instead of doing running jumping rock-paper-scissors. The horror!

Good, fuck trannyternal faggots and their shitty gameplay.

the whole game is a parry simulator and the central mechanic to efficient play is waiting for enemies to shoot green projectiles at you instead of red ones so that you can bounce them back with your new shield item

Oh god
Doom is dead

Doom is reborn.

yea that shit seems retarded
it looks even more videogamey than anything in the prior dooms

Gura, is that you?

You are gay

The thing about Eternal is it misinterpreted everything 2016 accomplished. And 2016 was an absolute fucking fluke that managed to come together at the last minute as a good game with some notable flaws. Eternal decided to triple down on so many different fucking things than what a lot of people wanted from it; here's more story shoved in your face trying to be awesome comic book tier lore bullshit when barely anyone actually cared for the plot parts of the predecessor, here's a double dash that feels kinda good but is just a crutch for an inability to make better movement, here's crippling all of your ammo output while having infinite bottom tier mooks spawn with a 30 second chainsaw recharge because the devs thought people using their preferred weapons in 2016 was just too easy instead of better balancing enemy types for different weapon uses.
all the while the game is so absolutely tongue-in-cheek in a way no other Doom game really was, a big wink and nod knowing about the Doomguy comic memes and trying so fucking hard to dissuade the grimdark plot nature with humor and quirky tidbits or the fucking retarded ass cosmetics.

it's so miserable, man, and I say this as a nightmare completionist.

Your problem is that you give a fuck about the opinion of political activists.

Lol I'll read the opinions of people that matters.

Its a bad 360 game.

ALL IN BBY DAY 1.

You know I have ADHD and aside from shmups and Wipeout-likes I prefer slower games.

It feels like Xbox 360 game because it has textures from that era

Dark Ages will be the DOOM 3 of this generation.

I can appreciate some slower games, but for the FPS genre it hasn't really worked for me

Quake 4

Doom stopped being Doom in 2016 and became a First Person Character Action Game.

DOOM Eternal is the best first person shooter video game ever made, objectively
Dark Ages will be too

Rolling Stone hates it

Confirmed Game of the Year.

2016 is fucking great. So is Brutal.

Considering the game will have its own tacked-on vehicle segments (the mecha and the dragon), it fits.

2016 is fucking great. So is Brutal.

I don't like the weapon switching in Eternal.
I'd probably like more story.
I still don't know what happened to Sam Hyde after 2016

The base game was fine but the DLC were complete shit with the atrocious Samuel boss battle and the actual "use weapon X or die" enemies. They could've made the burst shotgun good instead of forcing you to use it for a gimmick.

have the ability to look like any race

Quakebros? We lost…

no wonder germans wanted them all to themselves MAMMA MIA yummy ummy AWOOOOGA

This cannot be happening Quakesisters...

holy shit i think i've had 20 tutorial pop ups in the first 2 minutes of the game

which dark ages is doubling down on god knows why

they looked at the telemetric data from Eternal and found that the majority of players watched all the cutscenes so they decided that players must really love the story and cutscenes, not that the majority of players are doing one casual playthrough for the story

nu-Doom faggots trying to rewrite history once again
2016 and Eternal were both pieces of shit

Eternal only gets good when you get your full arsenal, and the game is a repetitive cycle of quick spamming super shotgun and ballista to shit out dps

They took everything from us

Look I know most people here hate Eternal and its twitchy nature apparently but let's not pretend the gameplay on this newer doom looks any good. Let's not bullshit ourselves.

Then disable them?

why dont the demons just shoot red orbs?

NOOOOOO LE EPIC DOOM SLAYA LOST HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN LE POWER FANTASY IS RUINED

What is this, doom souls?

The monkey bars and bing bing wahoo platforming are annoying, even if it's a small fraction of the game, also the art direction leans into the cartoonish a bit too much. But Eternal is so much fun when you get into the flow state of combat at higher difficulties and using every tool available to you.

As for this? Until we see how fast you can make the game with the speed slider, I'm taking every complaint about the pacing with a grain of assault. At face value the shield seems pretty stupid though.

Dark Souls invented Lovecraft now

My super shotgun is yours, Commander Thira.
Glory to Argent D'Nur.

opinion discarded

rolling stone

there's gonna be an unbelievable amount of dommy mommy and futa porn created of this woman and I can't wait

this "meme" makes no sense

They better add more Quake shit in this game, the setting is literally asking for it.

I think they hit the right dynamic with Doom Eternal, Dark Ages feels like it goes too far in to weird trends

That's obviously not what he meant retard

2016 is a 8/10. Eternal was also an 8/10. It was different but didn't improve that much. Seems like Dark Ages is going to be of lesser quality.

Lovecraft is the Dark Souls of reading material

They fucked up with Doom Eternal, they went too far with the mandatory swap and use of each mod of fire.
I like the option to fine tune your experience in the option though, in the end its a good compromise to please more people.

I'll take slow and smooth over fast and stuttering.

SWEET, I might actually enjoy this then

modern dooms are garbage though

Hopefully I don't get a meme answer, but why do they double down on story and cutscenes with each entry? I very clearly remember Hugo saying it wasn't their focus in Doom 2016. Then they pull a fucking Endgame cutscene in Eternal's dlc, now this. Wtf is their problem?

I'm going to try to finish it after I eat, but man, this game is not enjoyable in the more tense and boss moments, not for me at all.

It's insane that they can one day just decide to go by an anime character's name while also deciding they want to be the opposite gender and also deciding they want to be superficially assumed to be a different nationality entirely.

I always sort of bristle at how much KotakuInAction style reactionary politics hates game critics, but holy shit this person is like patient zero for bullshit grifting critics using games as a political platform. Unreal

Hugo confirmed Dark Ages isn’t connected to Quake
It’s over

I very clearly remember Hugo saying it wasn't their focus in Doom 2016.

Suuuure
You mean how the game locks you inside a cubicle several times and forces you to listen to literal minutes of exposition?
Last time I've checked every cutscene in Eternal was skippable

How far did you get into Eternal since your post in the last thread?

What are some fun FPSes that only care about fun shooting? Strictly no MPslop

Fucking bullshit.
WHERE THE FUCK IS QUAKE YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING OUTER GODS ABOMINATIONS

Why do shitters cope so much about this game
Imagine being so bad at a game that start blaming it for your own shortcomings

Only Hayden's exposition was that way. You can move on in every other instance while people talk.

Anon Babble being hyper cucks whining about Eternal is so very very faggot

No you can't
It has at least 3 cuck cage sections like this where you have to suffer through minutes of exposition

All your Quake are belong to us
See your shambler? He’s ours now.

What pissed me off the most about the Chainsaw priority is there are way too many enemies who need 3 fuel and there isn't a single enemy that uses 2 fuel.

Oh, and playing Ancient Gods is like having to walk back down the mountain after conquering it.

I haven't played since yesterday, but I'm at the ARC Complex level.
Maybe I'll play on easy and see if it clics better I don't know.

Doom The Dark Ages will be an absolute banger and I will be having a blast

I'm not dying? It's just not fun

based

It's not just that, I just don't like the gameplay, I don't want to git gud at it, it is not enjoyable for me, I don't want to put effort into playing better this way.
The fact that it becomes almost mandatory the more you progress is making me angry.
I just don't like it that's all.

weakpoints are tied to enemy hp

Dunno how to feel about this change

remove glory kills

game is still slower

statement followed by question mark

Thanks for conceding, basedboy

If this or Eternal had been shown 15 years ago this whole would be cumming in their pants
Contrarianism and TORtanic ruined this board

Should be called doom and gloom

Ultrakill did it better
Ultrakill took the crown of GOAT
It is official

I say this unironically

game critics are dead (or should be), just watch the game being played live on twitch to see how the game runs and then decide whether you want it or not

He's literally him!
Quakebros, we are so back!

Kick manages to kill a mancubus

My kicks in Doom Eternal can't kill a zombie no matter how many times I spam it

NOOOOOOOOO WHY DO I HAVE TO DRIVE CARS

This is peak retardation
Have you considered stopping playing a game you're miserable at?
You're obviously bad at this game, so what?

I honestly never expected that nuDOOM would become parryslop
That's about the silliest direction I can imagine

Sure it did lol

how so? Literally every single new game is adopting some form of the Souls formula, no matter what genre the game they're making is

For me, it's making her a demon concubine

kek, based anon never letting the devs live down their faggotry

GTA1-4

Just drive the car

GTA5

You can't abandon your car. You need to use the car you're in. You have to take fuel from other cars and place it into your own. You will fail the mission if you don't. Walking is not an option.

ITT: Slowfag cope
Doom Eternal perfected the genre and made every FPS obsolete by comparison. You cannot deny this. Nothing compares to the speed, difficulty, verticality and intensity of Eternal.

singular game has different mechanics

woah
i'm literally shaking rn...
i fucking hate when devs are not lazy and try new things

Yes I have considered stopping playing this game, but at the same time I want to continue, it doesn't click even at normal difficulty, I'll try at easy and see how it goes.
I can blatantly see why I fail and die, but I don't want to play as the game force me to, it doesn't feel right.

no fur

DROPPED

Moving the goalposts omegalul on god fr cap

Mission design is literally dead, normalniggers just want the cinematic experience and you can't allow ANY freedom for that

I like bald looking cats

Eternal makes you learn how to play it. The only things that change on lower difficulties are enemy aggression, and how much damage you take. No matter what, you're going to be fighting the same number and types of enemies and interacting with the same mechanics. The game is a tutorial until you get the super shotgun.

So with Wolfenstein and Doom in an active state, Quake and Rage are just dead right? People forget there was a time Quake was as big, if not bigger than Doom and Wolfenstein, and the action part of Rage 2 itself was fine

but I don't want to play as the game force me to, it doesn't feel right.

This game attracted the most retarded people ever I swear
Imagine throwing temper tantrums like a fucking kid because you are hellbent on not exploiting the game's mechanics for some obscure reason
Did you also complain when Sekiro forced you to comply with its combat system in a very specific way?

Sekiro would in fact be a bad game if it was called Devil May Cry: The Weeaboo Ages

this guy is gay for doom eternal

There is an Xbox 360 shooter in a good way?

Looks like a child of Shamber + Fiend.
Fucking hell, they actually went with this instead of Quake 5...

Wolfenstein

Active state

Wolfenstein New Colossus was a miserable DEI movie game with barely any shooting, and Young Blood was a miserable DEI movie game with barely any shooting and with RPG lite shite sprinkled over it
It has never been more dead
New Order and Old Blood were also too focused on movie game shite, but it still had more uninterrupted gameplay at least

New Order was the first step toward trying to make FPS good again.

/! POONER PUSSY /!

Did you also complain when Sekiro forced you to comply with its combat system in a very specific way?

Kind of, yes. But it is a little different.
In Doom Eternal there's absolutely space for a more classic viable approach, adding some options in the settings where you can toggle "classic" gameplay would be nice and I would not miss the flashy piñata and weapon swap in the slightest.

I can fix her (with my dick)
Imagine taking her away from her toxic friend group that brainwashed her and turning her back into her tomboy self

I agree with you honestly, Eternal is basically a perfect game with an unimaginably high skill ceiling. The spastic weapon switching memes and movement at high-level play gets meme'd on, but actually feels amazing to execute on the hardest difficulties. Modders have added in even more brutal horde mode fights which ramp the intensity up to 11. Really hard to go back to traditional FPS games after playing Eternal

uhhh isn't this a music magazine? why do they care about Doom?

In Doom Eternal there's absolutely space for a more classic viable approach

Firstly, wrong. Secondly, why should there be?

Maybe it will be easier to bruteforce through it, I hope so if it's a fucking easy mode.

Secondly, why should there be?

because the game is too difficult otherwise and I don't want to feel like a bitch for playing on ITYTD

The weapon switching is memed on by people who don't play or understand the game.
It's not. You're playing the same game regardless, but with more survivability.

DOOM should be a game where you glide around the map and use a shotgun for 80% of enemies, just cut the gimmicks crap.

console fps

too difficult

Lmao the absolute state of zoomers

That's a problem on your end.

no one talks about how satisfying the audio design is in Eternal. You don't even need to look at your HUD when you're really in the zone, all your weapons, grenades, chainsaw, punch, etc. have unique audio cues letting you know when they're running low or are ready to use. Really helps keep your focus on the action and feels so seamless

Go play codslop then, retard.

No you're wrong
The only enemy that truly limits your approach is the Cursed Prowler in the DLCs, and that's only if that enemy manages to land a hit on you
Otherwise you are still free to deal with it in whatever way you see fit

This.

The only enemy that truly limits your approach is the Cursed Prowler in the DLCs,

What about the spirit

Don't get hit. They have a very obvious audio cue when they spawn, and the ballista one-shots them.
The spirit just pulls your focus toward one monster. You can ignore the ghostbuster mechanic entirely.

Barely an ennemy, it's just a mobile Buff Totem that buff up one enemy at a time

Too bad all the guns sound weak.

You can ignore the ghostbuster mechanic entirely.

No you can't otherwise you are prolonging the fight for no reason

Buff totems do not give enemies damage resistance to your main weapons

not true at all

The Spirit can't do shit if it has no enemy to possess

If you want to play 100% optimally you can't, but that can be said about anything in the game that's not necessary. Like weapon switching.

yeah finally DOOM is the tactical shooter it was always meant to be
the original games are known for their slow deliberate pace

Yeah that's the whole point
It's a super buff that completely changes combat dynamics depending on what enemy it currently possesses

There are a shit ton of quests in GTA 1-4 where you can't abandon your car, you need to use the one the mission gives you and walking is not an option.

Because nu doom is all about the music, since the gameplay is crap now.

I know that's what I meant by

you are prolonging the fight for no reason

You can ignore the spirit unless it posseses some mid tier demon like carcass, prowler or enemy with a broken weakpoint but it never appears this way in any of the fights.

*can't

i want to play completely optimally

what? no, of course i don't want to play the game as intended

Shit ton vs. all

Best Eternal on nightmare first before critiquing it. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

I'm so sick of Petrarch shit

Doesn't it have a game speed slider? If it is too slow for them why didn't they up the slider?

Yeah, that's what makes Spirits way more dangerous than Buff Totems. It's not just a speed and damage boost — it's straight-up making the host a bullet sponge too. If you don't prioritize killing it properly, you're just setting yourself up for way more pain than dealing with a Buff Totem.

Nips don't like FPS games, and Rolling Stone is a commie propaganda rag.

To each their own, but I think they're a lot of fun, and the story/tone is a holdover from the "dudebro" era of stuff like Gears of War, which in this day and age is kind of refreshing.

It took a little bit for the rock/paper/scissors angle of Eternal to click for me, but once I got into the groove of it, it's a blast.

The opposite. The sound design for the guns is punchy and over-the-top in that 80s action movie kind of way, like Predator, Aliens, Robocop, and T2.

Even better is that Eternal has a setting allowing to enable weapon sounds from the OG games

That setting would have been better if it was per-weapon. It sounds dumb for the ballista to reuse the plasma's sounds, and the dashes to sound like Revenant punches.

Honestly amazing how polarised eternal is here, lol
Anyway I love eternal but I'm not completely sold on dark ages yet. Curious to know what you guys think. From what I see I shouldn't exactly be expecting more of the same.

Looks nothing like a doom game. They completely jumped the shark with Eternal.

Ruin your entire franchise because you outsorced your entire design process to a fortune cookie statement that says "stand and fight"

I've never seen game design based on whether a series of words sounds cool

FIGHT SLOW

Vega is way too short, and the most linear level in the game. You have like 2 big fights.

STAND AND FIGHT

Reject the shit ZOOM games, embrace kino like Turbo Overkill and Ion Fury.

STAND AND FIGHT

You mean the games that were directly inspired by the new DOOM games?

They expect me to know what an xbox 360 shooter means?

You tortanic tards really are scraping the bottom of the barrel

I already played Ion Fury.

They're not even hard to deal with. Bone headed idiots refuse to learn basic game mechanics I guess.

I’ve had this theory since the game was first announced that they really just wanted to make a Quake game but someone higher up at Microsoft said “No, Doom sells, we want more Doom”, so they had to retool what they’d made into a Doom game. And the more I see, the more I’m convinced I’m right.

Speaking of VEGA, I thought it was kind of funny that if you read up about it in the codex, he’s supposed to be such an unfathomably complex AI that the facility containing him has to essentially be kept frozen on the polar ice cap of Mars because his insanely powerful processing runs hotter than the surface of the sun, but then just as Doom Man is about to destroy VEGA, he’s able to copy a complete backup on a tiny little thumb drive in a matter of seconds, and without Hayden noticing. I guess maybe that was the joke, it just never clicked for me until I replayed 2016 a couple of days ago.

make the gameplay slower and more grounded

lol it was totally a quake game

Doom 2016

great reboot

Doom Eternal

they made it reddit by making it too tryhard with its own universe, and sucked out everything that made classic doom great (doomguy is a badass because he's just a normal guy, not some anti-hell supersoldier from an alternate dimension)
only good part of eternal was the khan maykr, her voice made me DIAMONDS

doom the dark ages will just be more of eternal's reddit behaviour

Hmmmm we just released a highly successful FPS (DOOM Eternal)

Let's do a Quake game, a dead franchise which no one gives a fuck of

You realize how retarded that sounds yes?
It was always meant to be a DOOM game from the very start

It's slow as hell and not good

they made it reddit by making it too tryhard with its own universe, and sucked out everything that made classic doom great (doomguy is a badass because he's just a normal guy, not some anti-hell supersoldier from an alternate dimension)

But 2016 did that first. Do you even play the games you talk about?

I’ve been meaning to check if she’s the voice of the evil Sith lady from The Clone Wars. They sound really similar.

She is.

rollingstone

isn't this a music magazine? huh?

Parryslop was a mistake

t. The Microsoft exec I was talking about

So you can apparently change the color of parryable projectiles so everything doesn't look like rainbow vomit. Probably just gonna make 'em a different shade of red.

she is
I believe it's her favourite voice acting role (if not, then one of)

she also voices sticks the badger in sonic boom

2016 implied a story with doom slayer that was theorized to be him but not confirmed

eternal said fuck that and made doom slayer the same person as doomguy and then made him a supersoldier etc, its lame

Serve the Maykr.

2016 all but confirmed it in the codex. The only difference in Eternal is putting it in a cutscene.
Why does every 2016fag bring up the story above all else whenever they try to make up a criticism?

2016 was a mistake
eternal was a mistake

she only needs to talk and whisper stuff into my ear

rollingstone

what is even going on anymore

it's not the exact same as doom eternal so bad

lol

It's going to be worse, unless there is a new game+ that replaces the shield with a grappling hook and dash.

Because they know deep down that their game betrays itself and the whole "le doomguy doesn't care about le story" the moment it locks you up inside a room and forces you to listen to minutes of unskippable exposition

2016 is the only good Doom game, OG, 2, 64, Eternal are all shit.

Or a minute of tutorials that make replays an annoyance.

that replaces the shield with a grappling hook

The shield is literally the new grappling hook/dash (only forward though)

thoughts on the new trailer?
youtu.be/78DeQgVJ6mM

The shield is literally the new grappling hook

It has some of the same properties, but it sucks. I want to swing around enemies and bunny hop, not just teleport to them.

There's a game for that, it's called DOOM Eternal

There is, and I've already said it will be a better game than Dark Ages. It's a waste to have these gigantic environments and nothing fun to traverse them with.
The shield as a whole is going to drag this game down. It already killed my centered weapons.

I mean if the game is built around giant mecha fights it's going to be slower right? This reminds me of when Pacific Rim came out and got that "it's too slow" criticism. Pacific Rim 2 came out with fast robots and it was total shit

Come on tortanicfag, I need one more for a bingo

There's only going to be a couple of mech levels, and it seems like they're not going to develop those levels very much seeing as the mech only has 2 weapons + fists.

Instead of actually building upon what made Doom and Doom Eternal work, the quick, fluid, kick-ass gameplay, Doom: The Dark Ages is bogged down with needless “innovation” for a game series that has always thrived on simplicity.

hit the nail on the fucking head right there, even music journos are better at reviewing vidya than game journos

I would pay good money for more smut of the Khan Maykr like this

tentacle monster gets porn

the fat-assed hologram chick gets nothing

tortanicfags mentally collapse so hard into contrarianism that they unironically start praising game journos

fuck me, you freaks really do have nothing else in your lives

Tentacle monsters has tits larger than your head, no shit she gets the porn

Now watch the meltdown as I post picrel

Hologram lady had an ass bigger than my head, too.

360 era game

but with 10x the file size

Nudoomfags mindbroke themselves into thinking any of these games good

the unnecessary addition of aerial levels that force the Doom Slayer to mount the back of dragon — which again, in theory, should be cool.

aerial levels

wtf are they doing

they meant the music

Joke's on you

They're finally developing that flight sim Carmack and the gang wanted back in 1994.

Looks cool, why is Cthulhu in the game?
Where is Ranger?

I don't know how to feel about the cosmic realm shit. Making hell just one of many alternate dimensions kind of dilutes Doom's identity.

Ranger's in the cuck chair
It's Doomin' time

I think the hologram lady has the same VA too

khan maykr gets the "nika futterman doing her sexy asajj ventress voice" so yeah, of course she gets all the porn

he doesn't know about the turok evolution dragon levels

memberberries

bitchmade slayer

Doom has no identity anymore it's just a bunch of capeshit nonsense

og doom is irrelevant and antiquated shite, glad we could agree on that

I hope they don't miss the opportunity to make a cool looking armor/outfit that goes full Quake, but well done and well polished, not like the one in Eternal.
But this Doomslayer armor look fucking sick.

I think the hologram lady has the same VA too

Nah, she does a bunch of anime dubs.
Nika did the voice of the scientist chick who was getting hot and bothered talking about Doomguy.

and the story/tone is a holdover from the "dudebro" era of stuff like Gears of War

I wish it was. The story is created by retards whose media literacy is consuming MCU.

boomers be like

old dooms were so fast bro it's like you were superman on crack

Most iconic moment of Doom 2016 is the sequence at the start where Doomguy literally punches the plot away and cocks his shotgun

Somehow both sequels decide that what the series needs is MORE PLOT and lore, and now the third game literally slows down the gameplay

DELETER THIS YOU FUCJING TARD
YOU'RE RUINING OUR NARRATIVE

>Most iconic moment of Doom 2016 is the sequence at the start where Doomguy literally punches the plot away and cocks his shotgun

Then the game is full of wannabe Half-Life 2 cutscenes that lock you in a room and make you listen to random shit.

the gif is laggy and running is turned off dumb samefagging shill

All of the nuDoom games are Xbox 360 shooters.

Most iconic moment of Doom 2016 is the sequence at the start where Doomguy literally punches the plot away and cocks his shotgun

True, because that's the only moment where they do the "we don't care about le story xD" shit
Have fun getting locked inside rooms and being forced to listen to minutes of pointless unskippable exposition after that, faggot
Meanwhile I'll skip all Eternal and Dark Ages cutscenes, lol

He did that cause he was pissed off at Hayden for unleashing hell, not because he was making meta-commentary about story in video games.

still though, the point is that khan maykr got a sexy voice, so even people who arent monsterfuckers can be turned on

Most iconic moment of Doom 2016 is the sequence at the start where Doomguy literally punches the plot away and cocks his shotgun

yeah and the dickriders will tell you there are no cutscenes when they happen every time you interact with anything not to mention the sections where you are locked into a room and force fed exposition half life style.

This was clearly started development as Quake, wasn't it?

Doom 3 is the only good Doom game

the gameplay was unironically too cerebral and took the joy out of mindlessly killing demons

Looks like they took the worst part of Doom Eternal (the Marauder battles) and made an entire game out of it. Wow can't wait to not play it. And with that flop, they will go back to the drawing board for the next 13 years.

My problem with weapon swap combos is aesthetic, I think they look bad. I think I have thought so since Quake 1's instant weapon switch times.

I tend to prefer my shooters to be about fine aim rather than movement and landing something that feels like a Target Combo from a fighting game on anything bigger than fodder.

in our days we had to dodge bullets like in The Matrix against hordes of hellish monsters they don't make games like they used to

how Doom is like in real world

single digit enemy count, one guy in the background forgot what he's supposed to be doing game almost shat itself trying to process 3 enemies

Looks like it.
At least we got some elements that made it through and it can open up good things for the future, opening up the Quake aspects to a wider audience I guess.

keep farming for (You)s to bump your thread cause any discussion is good publicity

not because he was making meta-commentary about story in video games.

That's exactly why they did it. But not as some criticism of story in games, but because the long intro annoyed them in testing.

I feel fucking pumped as fucking fuck bros it's the soundtrack of a real masculine game, I also headbang to elevator music

too many faggots pretend Q1 was better than Q2 because they are too young to remember Q2 was considered a straight uprgade and no one fucking touched Q1 for a long time until Arcane Dimensions came out

Quake 2 only really got good with the remaster.

March 31, 2025

that's what your favourite 20yo youtuber said?

Where is Hexen 3? Phil Spencer mentioned he wanted to make that like 3+ years ago.

No. That's what me, who played both the original game and remaster back-to-back said. Quake 2 is too basic and easy for its own good. Any improvement it makes over the original game is wasted for that reason.

as if Q1 wasn't the most basic 3D FPS possible lmao kill yourself zoomer I can tell you weren't around when those games came out and just repeat some shit meme rather than how people actually reacted to the sequel go play some marvel rivals

Turbo Overkill

this shit is ADHD on crack, recommending it to eternal hating slowfags is an interesting choice

THIS TIME we'll have our tortanic

god it's 2020 all over again

I'm the guy complaining about Eternal gameplay and I loved Turbo Overkill, it has that old school touch that makes it possible to play as you want without making it a pain in the ass like Eternal did.

Just about every indie game inspired by nuDoom exists to shit on nuDoom because they all play infinitely better because they don't have glory kills, cooldowns and an obnoxiously low starting ammo limit.

If it's really like a 7th gen games that sounds good

love Doom 3

FEAR.

Why do people go into a DOOM game and expect it to play like a DOOM game?

Man, I wonder. That's a mystery to be sure.

PM me if you ever figure it out.

Ultrakill is for betas who chase trends
True non-followers play good games like hyper demon and experience tranquility

The only Doom games that play like each other are 1, 2, and 64. Those have been outnumbered by sequels by now.

holy shit the projectiles are so laughably slow

Kinda worried about Dark Ages. People already got used to the new formula yet they removed everything from 2016 and eternal and replaced it with marvelshit shield. And STILL you have to use the finishers most of the time. Like, can I just SHOOT the enemy to kill it without wasting half my ammo? Is it too hard to make a single rune or upgrade that says "the next shot at blinking enemy will kill it just like the finisher"? Why is Bethesda so averse to killing enemies with GUNS in a SHOOTING game?

Most iconic moment of Doom 2016 is the sequence at the start where Doomguy literally punches the plot away and cocks his shotgun

Everyone forgets that the rest of the game was full to the guts with forced cutscenes though.

At least in Eternal you could skip them.

The melee stuff is only for the bigger ennemies basically, and the imps and zombies get shot pretty fast.
Definitely an improvement over nuDoom's endless glory kills and chainsawing you had to do to get health/ammo back.

Change it then

Wtf is a "trans man"? Is this a woman preteding to be a man? Or a man pretending to be a woman? I don't even know anymore, this insane faggotry is insane.

I desperately wanted to be excited for this since I'm a huge fan of 2016 and Eternal, I've replayed each of them at least 5 times, Eternal more like 10. But since the title reveal and first trailer showing the more medieval fantasy setting my interest immediately faded a bit, then with every subsequent trailer I lose more and more interest, to the point where I actually start thinking it looks straight up bad.

I don't want to play this, I'm gonna force myself to give it a shot but I could just as easily ignore this game.

1, 2 and 64 are proper classic doom
3 is quake if it was survival horror
new games are AAA console slop

Man is their assumed gender. So they were originally female.

Ah yes the classic medieval fantasy with the classic medieval giant robots, medieval machineguns, medieval tanks, medieval spaceships, medieval rocket powered dragon and magnetic shields

Turns out making fun of something is actually quite difficult.
This has been an issue with parody games for a long time now, most memorably with games like Matt Hazard and Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon both of which start with "Here's a tutorial, don't you think tutorials just suck? Aren't they awful? Anyways, press X for some more fucking tutorial because no you can't skip it."
The nu-Doom games end up doing this exact same mistake with the story elements. Just look at all this story, and how even the protagonist is sick of this shit before even the first level, don't you just hate having to listen to cutscenes and being forced to go through linear story moments instead of shooting more demons? So anyways about the Argent D'Nur which is of course the dimension in which...

video game journalism

oh no
the same guy who thought bayonetta was too sexy
its over

This shit looks fucking bad.
I really need to zoom about the place. I hate slow walking games

Well, you can change the game speed, that's a cool option to have, people will be able to adapt the game to how they want to play.

Thanks for subsidizing my pirated games, retard

I just don't like Marauders, okay? I can kill them just fine I just don't have any fun whatsoever killing them.

I can kill them just fine

Suuuuuuuuuure bud KEK

Bethesda's

kek

Personally, these are the things that piss me off about eternal

Not all cinematics are first person

cinematics to showcase small mechanics or changes on some levels

too many colors for ammo & stuff

less freedom for approaching certain enemies

it's not a bad game, but it shouldn't have deviated like this from 2016
also

too many platforming sections outside of regular combat

too many platforming sections

I never got this complaint. I'm replaying 2016 now and there is a TON of platforming. Remember climbing the Argent Tower?

boomers actually think this is amazing gameplay

Most people are mouth breathing retards who cannot proceed through the simplest platform sections known to man
This is why the platforming is hated
Take a look a picrel
A youtuber made a tutorial of the first actual platforming section in the game, Exultia level
It lasts no longer than 30 seconds, and you have people that have spent hours, days, even weeks on this single platform section which is like the most piss easy shit ever
This is why they toned down verticality in Dark Ages so much
I don't dislike the more grounded approach of Dark Ages, but it's so easy to tell why they did it

erm you forgot someone

you have people that have spent hours, days, even weeks on this single platform section

Look at pic

It's real

It's so fucking over
Knowing that I have to share this hobby with such brain dead retards like this is heartbreaking

yeah, there were some on 2016, but i feel like they had a special focus on them for eternal and added way more than the game needed
i'm not saying platforming sections were difficult, even the ones that led to secrets were piss easy and you could bruteforce some of them. What i'm saying is that i felt like they added a bit too many and in the end that really didn't add anything substantial to the game.

Level 1 on easiest difficulty

They were nice breather between hectic fights
The game is already mentally exhausting as it is, and a few boring corridors like 2016 wouldn't have cut it

sorry I wanted to say final level on hardest difficulty

Who the fuck wanted doom to have melee and parryslop???

you might be right, i should go back and replay it to give it a better judgement.
It's been like 4 years since the last time i booted up the game

me

Doom stopped being Doom all the way back when 3 came out, thoughbeit

I've never been a huge doom fan I liked Eternal but still feel it got praised so highly not because of the gameplay but because it was so well optimised on PC everyone could basically play it so a lot of people did.

But the sequel is saying you need 8 core CPU to run it on low and a RT card so I really doubt it's about to get a lot of praise too.

I'm also wondering if the heavy Graphical settings have shaped this slower gameplay shift

makes Anon Babble seethe for 5 years and counting for making fun and challenging games

Here's to another 5 years with Dark Ages!

I mean they put parrying in Doom
Obviously its shit

can't wait for his dark ages playthrough once the game came out
his eternal playthrough was full of kino and getting fucked in the ass by his own creation moments

slow, brown, generic, gears of war crap

Ion tranny

lol no

rolling stone

lol.lmao.

Only correct opinion in this thread.

blame fromniggers, hell, I bet Hugo Martin is a fromnigger on top of being a marvelfag

Dark Ages is the first Doom game to be release where there are no more remaining original id employees.

tfw you finally enter the fun zone

You WILL parry when it flashes green
You WILL run out of ammo
You WILL press X to awesome
You WILL ride the turok evolution dragon
You WILL collect the funkpops
You WON'T skip the cutscenes
You WON'T shoot things until they die
And you will have fun. That's what's important. Have fun, anon.

How could you tell?

Like the other guy said, the tortanicfags were mindbroken by Eternal's success, so all they have is going to bat for journalists at this point

You WILL parry when it flashes green

no

You WILL run out of ammo

no

You WILL press X to awesome

You WILL ride the turok evolution dragon

Gigachad posters are getting as bad as frogfags.

mentally collapses into crying about fromsoft

surprised the shazamfaggots haven't shown up yet

a month old review article

fucking rolling stone of all magazines

grasping for straws, aren't we?

I personally would prefer if platforming wasn't about sticking from one INTERACTIVE OBJECT to another INTERACTIVE OBJECT. But I know most people are straight up unable to do fine jumps in FPS games for whatever fucking reason, so player attaching to poles/walls/whatevers is mandatory for game to be completable by normalfags.

nobody cares nigger

STAND AND HIT GREEN BALLS SLOWLY

MFW they literally made fisher price pong for Anon Babble retards.

Shit take from a shit bunch of urinalist goatfuckers that hate our guts for existing and not being troonlovers.

this modern slop game feels like an sovl 360 game!

if that would actually be true, it would be a good thing

ah yes, a generic shooter with a bunch of melee weapons, parry system at its core, huge battlefields with large hordes of monsters

totally like halo of duty

Imagine greenlighting Quake hinges completely on Doom Old Ages performing well

sovl 360 game

posts like this make me wish Anon Babble stayed dead

then again, altchans are full of "people" like this as well

Honestly even though I had fun with Eternal I have to agree it eventually gets tiresome, derivative, and funnels you into the spastic way of playing. I want a more 2016 like experience again. However what I did not want is parryslop to replace quickswapslop. Dark Ages is going to do well regardless due to all the doom autists. And Hugo is going to breath even more of his own farts.

serious sam

FPBP.

what

believing Game Journalists

nice try Nigger

post this

shove phone up ass and wait for Anon Babblelacks to seethe

...Ok, they made a mod you don't have to force yourself to download. What is the issue?

REEE I DON'T LIKE I--

Shut the fuck up and don't use it, fag.

Reminds me a lot of this.

t. zoomie

you believe modern slopshit is better

The gameplay was too structured: the devs might as well have been in the room with me, telling me how to play.

You lack a brain

Name a better fps coming out this year.

APOLOGISE

Why would I apologize to the best FPS video game ever made objectively?

Faster games are usually more cognitively demanding, le slow-paced = cerebral bullshit is cope.

love Doom 2

The most baffling part of the post
