The Dark Ages is being utterly unanimously shat upon by every single reviewer

I'm sorry. I was wrong
It turns out it actually is possible to make a shittier game than Doom Eternal.

They just needed to make Eternal without all the weapon switching autism and it would have been kino

utterly unanimously shat upon

bunch of reviews giving it high praise

86 on open critic

good bait

resource management crap again

This isn’t Doom.

86 on OC

unanimously shat upon

What

Who care what shillman says.
He praised starfield to hell and back, but trepang2? That game is absolute garbage, because he did not like the story, not watching any more of his shit takes.

you think people would do that? just come on here and lie?

Most reviewers are saying it's great, you shitposting contrarian nigger faggot

STAND

AND

FIGHT

It'll probably still break 100k on steam like Doom Eternal did. Going by pattern from the previous Doom game and games exceeding expecations, it might actually reach 150k.

Exactly like 2016.

Yes everyone is saying the gameplay is shit and repetitive but journos gave it a slightly lower number instead of a much lower number to avoid getting blacklisted, that means the game is good

Blood

Pinnacle of FPS

with that pitiful enemy roster and level design

Boomers like you are fucking pathetic.

Get with the times, gramps

Everyone got filtered by the marauder in eternal so it scared them into make the next game easier

Op the colossal faggot managed to outdo the clickbait title of a youtube grifter.
Congrats.

That if it had been Heretic it would had been cool but making a game that is slower than Eternal is odd.
You use the shield and melee too much.
People are once more complaining that they are forced into the fun zone.

The story is shit and Hugo should fucking stop it.
The dragon mount is a worse Banshee since it is more like the ships from Reach than using a Banshee.
Damn shame, all in all.

clickbait

See

I am not picking this up until I see a Master Level.
Eternal was a great game by the end when all the content was released and after Tag 2 Id came to the conclusion that they want the base game to be easy and the extra content challenging.

I am surprised people are not attacking the game more for its lack of multiplayer or split screen. If you are making a SP FPS, I believe its time to look back at what Halo did right.

Being in the fun zone in Eternal means constantly adapting your movement to enemy priority AND arena layout, which allows good players to control the flow of combat and dominate hordes through movement, quick thinking and planning.

You can wipe weakpoints with the arbalest then get close with the meathook and sqitch to autoshotgun or HMG depending on the next threat and it all flows beautifully.

The Dark Ages doesn't have arenas, not even shit basic ones like Doom 2016, and has no good movement options, just strafing and a shield bash.

There's no fun zone in Dark Ages, you press parry because modern gaming is gay and appeals to casuals.

Retard, I am criticizing the OP title which is more inflammatory than that of the guy who made the video.
I jumped to the conclusions, he never says he hates it just that it is not as Eternal because it is slower and you parry too much, like they inspired the game on From Soft too much and it does not feel like Doom.

The game genuinely looks like a new IP altogether.
My feelings towards this game have been the same since its announcement.
It should had been the reboot for Heretic or Hexen, no one likes it when the formula of an IP is changed.

I am OP, stupid faggot. How is the title clickbait? Opinione range from "this is cool but nowhere as good as Eternal or 2016 and mech and dragon are shit" to "This game is boring and disappointing". Either way this is not living up to anyone's expectations

he never says he hates it

You are a massive retard for taking that political statement at face value. He spends half an hour completely dogpiling on the gameplay constantly

It should had been the reboot for Heretic or Hexen, no one likes it when the formula of an IP is changed.

The gameplay is shit, not the name. I actually saw the entire final boss fight and final fights as spoilers and the gameplay is utter shit. If Hexed played like this I would hate Hexen too

Dark Ages does not look bad but it is not Doom because everything from the setting and weapons screams Heretic.
The thing is that since the game is balanced toward the majority of people, I think the game will be mostly popular with casuals but I will not know if the gameplay is any good until we reach the later stages if do get their TAG / Master Level equivalents because that is when Eternal went from meh to great.

That is something that haunted Quake 2 for a long time, the base game was super easy and nobody thought of it as a good game until much later when the expansions and the map center jams were added which drastically improve the game by sheer level design and enemy placement.

Another problem with Dark Ages is that the music blows because to surprise to no one, when you get the stock music guys, you get forgettable stock music since the mixing is whatever and I am not even a big fan of Mick Gordon, Sonic Mayhem outdoes him at any turn but Finishing Move is just corporate music barely fit to be used as background on youtube essay videos, they are just mediocre as shit and this was like their big break.
Finishing Move was suggested to Id by Microsoft since they did the music for a lot of forgettable games, instead of allowing Id to choose another band or whatever.

Nightmare is too easy to gaming journalists

That must mean you win on Nightmare just by selecting it

First game is good

Second game is shit

Third game is the shittiest of the trilogy

Should I apologize that this game is burning dogshit compared to being simply dogshit like Eternal was?

I'm sorry that the Dark Ages is somehow worse than you.

Looks fine to me. I still have Goy Pass and will play through it.

The Dark Ages is being utterly unanimously shat upon by every single reviewer

That means it's good then. Reviewers, especially GMAN, are gigantic giga-faggot retards that like the sloppest of slop of gameplay. If they hate Doom The Dark Ages, that can only be a good sign.

LOOK MOM, I'M GAMEPLAYING

You are a massive retard for taking that political statement at face value

That is too say you are lying retard using hyperbole who does not understand his own words, yeah, noted.

political statement

What? Are you an ESL? How is the weather in New Delhi?

Hexen

Now that I care about arguing...

The gameplay is leaps above Heretic and Hexen.
Heretic weapons mostly sucked and the game just went on like Wolf3D when the game ran out of cool stuff to show you, from EP4 onwards you were starving for ammo and getting 100% kills was rough on Difficulty 4.
As much as I like Hexen, the game falls apart after The Seven Portals and no hub ever matches it, it just blurs together but I admit I never beat Deathkings of the Dark Citadel which I think was in part designed by Romero.
Hexen 2 is one of my favorite games from my childhood but it is super short but the Aztec / Egypt levels were so cool, the game was too short despite having too many game mechanics.

I would had honestly bought Dark Ages had it been the reboot f any of those games because the gameplay looks fine but it is not Doom, meanwhile Heretic lacked anything to call its own aside item slots (Tome of Power, Repulse, Morph).
There is also the problem that Eternal just recently got really good so I could honestly do without Doom for a while, not every series needs an entry every 4 - 6 years.
Reminds me of the issue I had with MK1.
UMK11 just finally got good and a new entry was released too soon and it is too different in tone to be a part of the series, but it would had worked as another IP like Injustice similar to how Dark Ages should had been Hexen.

Ultimately for what I am picking up is that if you come from Eternal, you are trading GOTTA SLAY FAST to "Shit and Fart (TM)" and that's a big change.

I guess they didn't pay him enough

This is how I act when I see a spider in my room

we all know Gman is a faggot and his opinion holds no value

BING BING RIP AND WAHOO

Holy shit that is so slow. Do the speedlines make people think they're going fast? I've seen more intense halo 1 gameplay.

I've seen more intense halo 1 gameplay.

Yeah. It's real fast.

Who owns hexen? Maybe that game should be revived instead of mutilating doom.

I don't like Doom Eternal, but you're a disingenuous retard.

Add speedlines and yeah. They're about the same intensity.

Microsoft

they literally recycled an eternal boss, and named it infernal gladiator. Nu Doom is done.

Eternal was clearly made for kb/m, controller shitters cried and shit their diapers and id made the dark ages for them

using hyperbole

It's not an hyperbole. Nobody likes Dark Ages

What? Are you an ESL?

No, but you are

Yeah, I knew Covenant was the way to go instead

See also FoV changes while "sprinting" in many modern FPS games

I was out when I saw the green orbs parry system anyway. Everything that is owned by modern microsoft turns to shit.

Eternal has the best combat
2016 best everything else.

K, now play on legendary.

I was interested in this game until I saw that it all boils down to a rhyhtm minigame where you dodge orange thing and parry green thing
I just want to shoot things in the face that's all

Fp low key bp

Demons looks like Halo zombies

I yawn.

Eternal was a single spark of brilliance in a mediocre series

If you needed a reminder that Eternalfags hate the Doom franchise, this is it.

already has pinned correction comment

KWAB
How quickly he bends the knee everytime.

That's just 2016
Even then weapon switching is optimal but not needed.

I miss when guns in videogames sounded like guns and not plastic balls bouncing on rubber

most reviewers i watched said its good tho

fucking Hugo Martin played Dark Souls once and decided that it was a good idea to turn DOOM into Dark Souls: the FPS, that nigger should be fucking fired

should've made Hexen
the Serpent Riders are the TRUE dark ages

unanimously shat upon by every single reviewer

Confirmed ludokino

Game really just looks like everything moves in slow motion while you are also invincible with very generous parry timing with mech sections that look even slower.

Dark Ages does not look bad but it is not Doom because everything from the setting and weapons screams Heretic.

not it doesn't
heretic doesn't have the sci-fi elements
heretic is as old school dnd as it gets
you cannot possibly get the nudoom aesthetic in the 90's because the mcu and artstation trends did not exist back then

2016 was console babby trash holy fuck kill yourself

it's somehow a bad thing that the developers wanted to make the game with challenge runs in mind, for some reason(?)

Isn't it good the developers pay attention to how people play their games?

pretty much. 2016 is fun if you play it before eternal but replaying it you see all the flaws it has.

This

Nah he cooked, I was wrong. Eternal really is just leagues above the rest of the games, which considering the cringe that occurs in the second dlc, is criminal.

I fucking hate the dragon segments. The mech segments are slightly better, but suck too. They could've just not had that shit in the game and it'd be a better game.

Cope and seethe

Reviewers hate it? That means it must be good then

I can't blame Hugo for adding mech gameplay considering there was a huge one in Eternal's hub which never actually did anything

I enoyed 2016 a lot more than Eternal, Eternal in many ways is a "better game" but it's almost overdesigned in a sense. Feels like playing a sweaty comp shooter to me. 2016 just had for lack of a better word "vibe"

Sorry you got filtered, but at least you can enjoy shit games with no mechanical or mastery requirements like Dark Ages now!

Dark ages looks like how scrawny, pasty vidya youtubers must feel whenever they play doom OST in the background while they're angry or something.

you played the game?

why are weeaboo coomers and homos so obsessed with this fatalist dichotomy mindset?
Everything either wins totally or loses completely?
I clicked on the video, its Gmanlives - he praises it, while also criticizing some aspects but overall loved it.

You people are fucking retards.

Apparently Mr. Matty doesn't like it either. It's over. The Doom fans have spoken. The Xbox fans have spoken. Doom The Dark Ages is...underwhelming. It's no Doom Eternal... :(

TDA is an usurper. It will never be one of us (the real doom games).

whats the fucking GOV here, 30? jesus

dragons

not doom

medieval shit

not doom

lovecraftian old gods

not doom

angels

not doom

knights

not doom

mechas

not doom

why didn't they just make doom?

It's funny though, it plays like a worse version of Mega Man 8 Bit Deathmatch's final segment. Doom mod inspiring Doom is funny. I like the spectacle of it, but that's about where it ends.

Really strange to see that indie games have better movement than doom despite iD clearly chasing that crowd in the most boring way. Really needs momentum and commitment instead of this instant dashing shit to fixed movement speed shit. Whoever forced it to be like that has no fucking taste in FPS gameplay

directly linking to gmanshills

heretic is as old school dnd as it gets

Yeah, I guess Dark Ages is more like Strife then.

Youtube is full of "Watch This Before You Buy AAA" clickbait. The bigger the game, the more dire warning clickbait is generated. I think Steve will be right on this one.

GMan

Dude has consistently shit takes. FFS, he blew Todd Howard when it came to his review of Starfield.

good bait is hard to come by these days

literally the first shooting area of the game

easy difficulty

yikes

the one step forward, two steps back game

nah
it was a solid game but 2016, which has its own flaws, is a better experience.

This might be a terrible idea but I kind of miss hit scanners in eternal. The riot gunners did not deliver.
The Blood Makyrs are hands down the best addition, just these mean fuckers that wrap the situation around them similar to the archviles.

why didn't they just make Quake?

Id has tried to make Quake relevant for the past 3 years but Starfield happen.
I want to play the game myself to see if there are references to other shooters like in Eternal. Most reviewers just speedrun the game so they can get ad revenue as fast as possible.

Uhm, excuse me but uuuhm. Isn't this guy, like, the same guy who stands by his, you know "Starfield is good" thing? Ha, I mean are we really going to listen to THIS guy? Lol come on now.

I mean...who like REALLY cares about this guy's opinions? If we're being super honest here?

The argument 2016 fags use is that now "you are not forced to swap weapons", claiming this is an improvenent and good thing for a Doom game and defending Shart Ages

When Doom REQUIRED swapping weapons constantly because using certain weapons against certain enemies was an objectively shit choice

Fucking shitter parasites never played an actual classic Doom wad

Super shotgun

less range

Revenat Marauder wraith shield

Worse space marine 2 cutscnes about npc you dont give a shit specially king skyrim sovengarde guy

Ok this game is shit

I'm sorry that I didn't stop you when I had the chance.

But this place is negative about everything
I like 2016 and Eternal, can someone that likes them tell me this one is bad and why?

nigger nobody swapped constantly shotgun and rocket launcher in classic doom

That’s because everything is scaled to be slower in classic doom

I'm going to say it. Starfield is good and Starfield was always good. When Starfield comes to PS5 and is PS5 Pro Enhanced, people will say it's good "now" when it's the same game you can play literally right now just ported over. Also now that we have Oblivion Remastered to hold certain people over until TES VI comes out, that'll give the bots something to feast on so they can finally stop shitting up the Starfield spaces so much. Especially now that constant, hyperbolic shitting on Starfield isn't profitable anymore.

Cope more Todd

i really miss the unhinged doom 2016 guy first person cutscenes punching all those hugo retarded npcs universe screens

It's due to the demon acceptance narrative that kikes and the antichrist are pushing now.

Hate to say I told you so
nah all the nudoom games are rubbish

What if we just gave the Hedon Bloodrite guy a massive studio so he can give us some more hot orc sluts?

Sorry to break it to you faggot but doom has always been a casual series.

Faggot-ass opinion from a raging faggot-ass.

PRESS THE AWESOME BUTTON TO GET A BADASS KILL CUTSCENE!

terrible.

Another liberal pope is chosen and the new Nudoom turns out to be too shit even for Shillmanlives, bad couple days for the zoomer tradcaths.

Eventually you'll realize that marketing isn't trying to sell you shit games, but that shit games sell you marketing, i.e.: pad traffic and engagement -- they are little more than onboarding schemes to consultation rackets, e-grifting parasocialites and digitial daycare-botfarms.
The industry has been captured by PR gremlins. These PR gremlins cultivate an unsustainable economy of lies: they sell problems, rent out solutions (marginally smaller problems) and deceive everyone -- shareholders, developers, customers and players. They don't care about the quality or reception of the product, they don't care about what you believe, love or hate and they don't care to convince you of anything. The more controversy, the better for them.

Their final goal however is to distract and placate you, while high finance (read: their owners, banksters) turns your passions and lifetime into vacuous commodities.

be PR gremlins

gaslight publisher into whipping developers into frenzy to create super-slop

gobble up the majority of the "development" budget, recommend hiring nepotists

proliferate more slop to e-grifting parasocialites to fan the flames; hype a product you know will fail miserably, gaslight customers and shareholders with predatory marketing

reinvest a fraction of your hyper-bloated budget and buy copies through subsidaries and at a discount to gaslight everyone some more, after padding stats shortterm refund to ruin them longterm

simultaneousely shill for and against the product to maximize controversy and thus traffic, engagement and demand of your service and that of your buisness partners, such as consultation rackets

eventually come out of it being the sole profiteer, blaming everyone else

In other words: if you're a shareholder of a publisher or developer studio instead of an investor to a marketing agency, then you are a barely functional lobotomite.

Niggerfaggots claiming Sharternal's constant weapon switching is actual LE HECKIN ORIGINAL

disregarding the fact that you can beat the entire game with the shotgun only

also trys to say that because you can switch weapons, and people sometimes did, that makes it identical to Sharternal's gameplay

O IM LAFFIN

the game falls apart after The Seven Portals

I disagree completely
Seven portals is the worst part of the game

Doom 2

you mean The Plutonia Experiment

>Niggerfaggots claiming Sharternal's constant weapon switching is actual LE HECKIN ORIGINAL

It is

>disregarding the fact that you can beat the entire game with the shotgun only

You will get utterly assraped, even in certain IWADs. The moment there's 3 or more Pain Elementals your shotgun is useless and you get flooded by spawns. A chaingun is not a weapon you can use at your leisure but an asset for far hitscanners and stunlocking flying enemies.

also trys to say that because you can switch weapons, and people sometimes did, that makes it identical to Sharternal's gameplay

It's actually different because classic Doom is simon says where using certain weapons is heavily punished
The only readson you hate weapon swapping is that you are a massive shitter who can't master playing footsies and managing weakpoint targeting, but Eternal is actually never forcefully imposing players to use weapons while classic doom makes each weapon blatantly dedicated to specific enemies and you will have an absolutely dogshit time trying to defy the imposed intended use of weapons

Is he really liberal? Or is it just because leo XIII was liberal during the industrial revolution, a time it was admittedly needed.

Eternal made Berserk actually useful instead of a shitty overglorified 100 HP restore

Truly the only Doom game that is good

press x to awesome

Yeah that is cool the 2 times it happens in a 10 campaign. You seem butthurt about something.

can't hear you over the hundreds of WADs that shit all over ZOOM Eternal

trilogy

Isn't dark ages standalone?

Buy an ad you fat faggot

It's a shame. I actually like some of the designs and aspects of the art style in this.

if you're constantly switching weapons in classic doom you're getting overwhelmed very easily. you very much want to think about what weapon is better for specific situations (not individual enemies) because switching weapons is so slow you want to avoid it as much as possible.

classic doom makes each weapon blatantly dedicated to specific enemies

this has to be bait right. so many times when I start a fight I have the super shotgun out because it's the bread and butter of classic doom, it's good against literally every single enemy. not to mention how fucking good the plasma and BFG are if you have a lot of cells, or the rocket launcher when you have enough space
also

namedropping "IWADs" to give an air of knowledge

I see through you

Berserk not being useful in classic doom

yeah this is bait
I like eternal btw you're just completely full of shit

Its peak Doom. Its you that has an identity crisis.

posting a literally who

the game being ass or not aside you're a fag and should kill yourself

It's a prequel to Doom 2016

so many times when I start a fight I have the super shotgun out because it's the bread and butter of classic doom, it's good against literally every single enemy.

retard

Same thing, just as slow

But they 3 shot you

wow
impressive

Eternal reminded me a lot of Ultrakill, but I think I prefer Ultrakill more.

Give Doom to women

they turn it into a "narrative shooter"

game sucks, not even paid reviewers can praise it

It's so tiresome...

Please, tell me Mr. Classic Doom Pro, what weapon is better to have out when you know a fight is about to start and have no idea what to expect. Obviously that's gonna vary wildly from map to map (which is why I "so many times" not "all of the time" or even "most of the time") but the rocket launcher is often way too risky when you don't know where shit is gonna spawn, the plasma is very good but cells are at a premium if you're not playing a fucking slaughter map, and the chaingun is, at best, useful for stunning enemies while running away looking for safety. So tell me, why is the super shotgun not the best weapon to have out when you're about to press a switch or pick up a key?

Doom was never good

The fucking shield is glued to the back of his hand.

Hahahah

The biggest Doom Eternal dickrider likes it.
youtu.be/-QzzVFFT_4w

base game and maybe dlc 1 had good balance of enemies. Then DLC 2 happened and the bullshit combat restrictions pissed me off. I started getting encounters with multiple yellow shield guys, rolling imps, and a marauder and I just said fuck this it's fucking boring that there are this many enemies that take no damage unless shot with something specific. This is totally different from the base game where you still had multiple ways to deal with every enemy.

25 percent of the game is spent on the dragon and giant mech

Enjoy your filler in a FPS game. Worst doom ever released.

Still just going to replay doom wads.

See Please answer

Starfield is such a boring start to an IP that's supposedly our beloved Todd Howard's dream game. You can clearly see the stuff they tried to shift so they could try and make the game palatable for the masses when they injected space thu'um and multiverse shit into it. There's a whole lotta NOTHING in Starfield. It's a """"good"""" template, but a terrible overall game with too many things holding it back despite there being so many good ideas and inclusions. And unfortunately all of that absolutely gutted the modding scene so now it can't even stand up with community support. Not entirely the same thing but it parallels pretty close to what happened with FO4
