Doom

The consensus among all critics and streamers is that it is much worse than Doom Eternal

That's not true.

I preferred 2016 over Eternal. Will I like this?

this game is straight up a dlc to doom 2016. the shitters who cried about eternal got what they cried for.

No. This is Eternal with a different coat of paint.

Getting mixed signals here. Is it more like 2016 or more like Eternal?

What the fuck is even going on in this thread? Has Anon Babble completely lost their mind?

2016

just circle around enemies to avoid projectiles

use your favorite weapon until you run out of ammo before switching to a different one

Eternal and Dark Ages

enemy attacks home in on you so you have to use the dodge/block gimmick

have to juggle different weapons

bigger focus on melee strikes and executions for resource management

enemies designed with a specific approach in mind

Not saying Eternal and Dark Ages are bad, it's just a different kind of FPS game. So if you didn't like Eternal after 2016, then you probably won't like Dark Ages either.

how ironic

none of this nu-doom shit is good

I watched some streamers play it and it seems like the open levels are a detriment to the experience. Also you're still just a set of floating arms and a camera for a head. You'd think they would have figured out how to make a body model for doomguy at this point but nope immersion is gay.

what went wrong

you could tell it's soulless slop with inconvenient mechanics that have nothing to do with doom from the xbox reveal trailer
why people went apeshit into hyping it is beyond me, the game looked like shit from the get go

Eternal fucking sucked, so people who liked Eternal have shit taste. Still not buying this though.

2016 is good
Eternal is slop which doubled down on everything 2016 did wrong and removed everything 2016 did right

why people went apeshit into hyping it is beyond me

hyping shit up is 90% of the normies' enjoyment

Okay, thanks!

but this game really looks mediocre and boring to play. I'm not buying this shit till it's at least 50% discount

enemy attacks home in on you

Fuck this. What's the point of making projectiles physical so you can move around them if you're just gonna make them homing so positioning doesn't matter at all.

This parryslop trend needs to die yesterday.

erm you dont need quickswaping autism to do good dps but if you dont like parry greenlights nope also shiternal third erson cutscenes but it just crappy expositions from space vikangs secondary characters, the bad guy and jabba the maykr

Gaylo 2016 niggers asked for this

Fpbp

2016 had the feeling to a science but was kinda scared to go too deep in the pool
eternal is shit through and through and people say the opposite 'cause normie brains like games that give you carpal tunnel syndrome
dark ages is literaly the worst of both previous games combined and whoever named/made the final boss and though "yeah this is fine" you are not human to me and it should be within my rights to hunt you for sport

you know how action movies tend to not give a shit about any logical sense in favor of big "Epic Moments" ? dark ages is that, like, all the way through and i despise it vehemently.

how do shitters have enough brainpower to type on a keyboard?

Its going to suck but it'll be better than eternal, worse than 2016

First was a 10/10
Second was a 6/10
3rd is a 6/10

From what I've seen I don't like the aesthetics of it. It seems like they went in the direction of generic scifi more than satanic themes.

Why is the game so short?
For that price I mean

they chopped in half the true prequel of 2016 as DLC i bet for... 2026

The structure of the nu-Doom games is more arcade-y, as in they want you to replay multiple times through higher difficulties and alternative game modes, to unlock even more stuff and get hi-score. It's not bad in itself, but sucks if you're only interested in a single playthrough of the main campaign.
Plus what said. I bet a good chunk of the content got cut with the purpose of packaging it as a DLC later.

2016 is severely overrated

Man. You guys suck. I like all the Dooms sans 3, but I respect that one Doom 3 apologist that keeps showing up I still can't tell if he's serious or not.
Video games are fun. You guys need to have more fun.

Why did he do it?

Nudoom is super ripe for shitposting for whatever reason. I would say that is a decent reason to believe the series is good in general.

Anon Babble hates nuDoom because Anon Babble "predicted" Eternal would flop and it didn't.
That's it, it's a bunch of shitskins throwing a tantrum because they were wrong.

Anon Babble likes games but it has a very particular taste: it only likes casual games that appeal to females, see: Palworld, Mass Effect, Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, The Sims, Expedition 33, Undertale, Danganronpa, The Coffin of Andy and Lelley, and phone games.

That's it, if you want to appeal to Anon Babble you need to make your game gay cutesy crap with mind numbingly easy gameplay, lots of clothing customization and starring hecking wholesome girls or feminine boys.

There's a new breed of game dev of there who thinks that making things as inconvenient as possible is good game design. A particular type of doofus who heard that friction is good, and failed to grasp that it's only good when used correctly. These people aren't to be confused with game devs from decades past who released games with tons of friction because the budget & tech back then had a tendency to produce inconvenient games.

Covid gave everyone brain damage and you’re finally seeing the results of it. That’s what went wrong.

Is this when Anon Babble says something, pretends it's true and ignores reality because it simply can't accept that Anon Babble's opinions aren't popular?
Literally the only complaint people have is performance issues.
I just have no idea why after so many years Anon Babble still tries to pretend what it thinks has any reflection on anything.
Aren't the 8 years you have spent crying about RDR2 and 5 years you have spent crying about Doom Eternal, both because they didn't flop, enough to you?
Are you now going to cry until the 2030s because Dark Ages did well too?
Literal low IQ behavior, a bunch of third world chimps chimping out because they can't accept when they are wrong.

Doom 2016 is 10½ hours and eternal is 14 hours. Not all people will be able to speedrun Dark Ages in 10 hours. I honestly don't see the issue with the campaign length.

98% positive on Steam

???

Meanwhile, here's the score of the casual, microtransaction filled woman-slop that Anon Babble slurps up.

How to ensure a game gets negative reception on Anon Babble: make it unpiratable (now thirdies can't play it and start throwing a fit)

This just means that you can make the game even more difficult if you want to.

It's really bizarre how feminine Anon Babble is. I'm starting to think there's a surprising amount of actual women on this board because it's the only thing that explains not just their taste in vidya but how catty and emotional anons are. I feel like I'm reading posts from bitter spinsters at times.

sunken cost fallacy

they all paid over $100 bucks to play it early
you really thyink they're going to shit on it after that
then look at those reviews they're all memes, like reddit wiped its arse all over steams face

Wow, a new DOOM game in the year of our Lord 2025! Exquisite.

What about Eternal? It has a 91% and its a game that Anon Babble has been frothing at the mouth about daily for half a decade.

You forgot all the gook/chink UEslop, gachashit, streamer slop like FNAF, Valheim and casualshit like HellDivers, and you forgot near permanent twitter+eceleb rumor slopspam.

The entire board is full of zoomer teens whose most played game is their favorite influencer's stream.

who gives a fuck what streamers think, they are retarded and should kill themselves

It's weird how little I've seen people talking about it. There's barely any threads on here, haven't seen anything on other sites either. When 2016 and eternal came out people wouldn't shut up about them for months. I haven't played it yet and don't really feel the urge to, the story shit in eternal really killed my hype for the whole series.

TDA isn’t a Doom game. It clearly started out as something different but the publisher demanded it had a recognizable IP in the name as that curbs risk to shareholders. For that reason alone I won’t be playing it. If it didn’t have Doom in the title I would be mildly interested.

then look at those reviews they're all memes, like reddit wiped its arse all over steams face

Unlike CHICKEN DONKEY, the most epic meme ever, right, nu/v/?

Eternal is kino I loved it
I hate how they nerfed it and started appealing to n00bs
youtube.com/watch?v=VWKZfeLY7ac

The devs listened to all your bitching about Eternal and removed everything that made the game good. The game's piss easy now unless you "create your own fun" with sliders and you never have to switch weapons or be good at movement to succeed. Shouldn't you guys be praising this game now because it's everything you wanted?

There's barely any threads on here

Nigger Anon Babble has been seething about this game non stop since it was announced.

truth is what the majority (plebs) say is true

I love gacha now!

For once, the frogposter is right.

based slop enjoyer

It's certainly not what the board with the most feminine and casual taste in videogames on the internet says.
And thank god, if it was up to Anon Babble every game would be gacha slop, a VN that appeals to Tumblrinas who simp for serial killers or an Overwatch clone.
Even the normies who only play COD and FIFA have a better taste than this place nowadays.

Reminder that starfield was mostly positive during the early access period as well

150% better than Eternal at 150% speed
They probably never even touched the difficulty modifier screen.

blind market royalty is actually based if you pretend to/look like this!!

waooooowwwwwww

I-I SWEAR IT'S A FLOP

Incoming 5 years of seething about TDA not flopping like with Eternal.

>royalty

loyalty*
waooowwwwww

98% positive on Steam

I mean, people paid $110 to play it 3 days earlier... I don't think you'll find many negative reviews in this early access.

It's not women, it's just the youngest zoomers are all gay as shit who are either trannies or on their way to become trannies.

dude your entire argument, as you put it, is

well the majority of people think X so you guys wrong

this is conformity bias, social validation, groupthink, herd mentality and whatnot
it's possibly the most feminine cognitive reflex out there

Nah bro it's because it's owning woketrannies and saving vidya because you get to see hilariously big baboon ass (big boobs still nowhere to be seen btw, still relegated to C cups at the biggest despite cartoonishly big asses) and I get to be nickel and dimed to see a modicum more female skin, fucking winning!!!1!!!1!!! Vidya saved forever because of safe horny MTX filled live service slop!!!!!1!!!

3 > Doom 16 >>>>> Eternal

cyberdemon/tyrant introduced into enemy pool

ooh, my favourite, can’t wait to see what Todd and Bethesda-iD cooked up

his gatling gun hit scans at range, melts health and armor

ok, I’ll just strafe behind cover

conjures spikes from floor with radiating fire damage that also melts hp

ok fine I’ll go fight up close

turns into melee simon says and you MUST parry green 4-5 times in a row

glory kill prompt appears

only takes off part of his armor

must do green parry game again 4-5 times in a row

who at Sony fucking okayed this shit

Literally the only complaint people have is performance issues.

The opinion of poorfags who won't even spend a bit for their hobby really doesn't matter.

No, I'm saying the majority has a way bigger chance to be right because you fags are gay as fuck and only like games based on how fucking gay and feminine they are.
If Anon Babble made a Doom game Doomguy would either be some twink or a straight up girl, and instead of brutalizing demons you'd go around petting hecking wholesome dogs and cats.

it's owning woketrannies

Which is good, but the game it's still just another casual multiplayer game made so easy as to not filter females out, so of course nu/v/ is slurping it up.

Nobody wants gimmicky Medieval themed shit, just give me DOOM dammit

There's like 2 threads up, when 2016 came out this whole board was dominated by threads arguing about it

Clearly they do, considering it's selling and reviewing well.
It's another thing what Anon Babble wants, but Anon Babble will never be truly happy with a game until it appeals to women.

You should play Doom 2 again.

Argumentum ad populum.
First post worst post.

I'm saying the majority has a way bigger chance to be right

holy fuck off this is what I said : conformity bias
this is by the way exactly what happened with that masterpiece bioshock infinite was : everyone and their mother loved that piece of shit

Doomguy would either be some twink or a straight up girl

I just watched the entire story on youtube and there's a literally who lady with mystical powers and she's the key to everything and doomguy is the chosen one and what the fuck is even happening
marvel slop, this is marvel slop
you telling me marvel slop is peak masculinity?

Yes, Anon Babble back then didn't have a grudge against nuDoom.
Now it hates it because it doesn't flop like they predict, so they can't talk much, because it's all a bunch of low IQ retards who want to say that everyone totally hates it when they can't, so they'll try to ignore the launch and in two weeks they'll start a 5 year long campaign against it because the game proved no one shares Anon Babble's opinions despite how much this place loves to pretend it somehow embodies the entire videogame community.

You cant be against conformity bias on Anon Babble when Anon Babble regularly pulls out steamchart threads for every single game out there as a way to show that just because it's selling well that means it's good.

Nobody wants gimmicky Medieval themed shit

I did, I wanted a continuation of Quake 1996, but then again I’m old with saggy gray balls and I want to relive the years when I could masturbate 8 times in a day

You cant be against conformity bias on Anon Babble when Anon Babble regularly pulls out steamchart threads

I'm also there whenever I see that stupid shit and I routinely call it out
there's a few stupid faggots doing that shit everytime there's a fire emblem thread
Anon Babble isn't one person

nu-id hasn’t developed a game as good as Arcane Dimensions since Quake 1, the Quake reboot is doomed to be a colossal waste of an IP

this is by the way exactly what happened with that masterpiece bioshock infinite was

Why go back so much? Go back to Eternal it came out 5 years ago, not 15 years ago.

you telling me marvel slop is peak masculinity?

No, I'm telling you it's not peak feminity, which is what Anon Babble likes.
You fags have the same sense of masculinity as a woman.
Every fucking game you like is the gayest and girliest shit ever.
Nier Automata for example, I bought it because Anon Babble kept talking about it and it sounded interesting, two robots fighting a dystopic Earth after humanity was gone.
What do I get?
A gay game starring a cute girl in a cute dress and the melodramatic story of her relationships with her short twink bot.
Absolutely nothing Anon Babble likes has a single trace of masculinity, and I'm sure the fact that every single thread with an anime girl in the OP devolves into ERPing is related to that.

Normalcattle like:
insist everyone ("Anon Babble") like the same games as them because they're insecure slaves. They filter reality through a consensus function where true = everyone thinks it's true. They're outstandingly retarded people.

nuDoom is the kind of game that appeals to teenage boys, like Transformers movies.
Not Fight Club exactly, but it's definitely made for dudes.

No True Scotsman: The Image

This is true, the only games Anon Babble likes universally now are games that appeal to teenage girls.

they're insecure slaves

This comes from the place that dedicates half the catalog to gossiping about what's going on on Twitter, Reddit and Tiktok.

fucking game on higher difficulties man, every single fun higher tier demon is just parry parry fucking parry or if you’re feeling daring stick your shield in them to stun them before supershotgunning them up close, fucking cyberdemon parry, snake cunts parry, revenant fucking parry or shield stick when he’s not invisible

AHHHHHH THIS IS THE LITERALLY FUCKING GAY AGENDA

consoom product becuz PHUN

Retard.

It used to be like that with 2016 and Eternal. It was like some 15 year old was asked hey what's cool and then they added that stuff into the game. Meanwhile Dark Ages is more like some nostalgia consoomers opinion on what's cool -> the game is more dark and gritty with story that "is more serious", large levels, longer game, more upgrades, slower to play, "more difficult", forced in rt... it's so easy to see.

You're gossiping about gossiping.

Honest question: Do you not play games because they’re fun? Why do you buy them, then?

the game is more dark and gritty with story that "is more serious"

Yes?
That's how a teenage boy thinks.

The consensus among all critics and streamers

Opinion discarded.

Yes, it is a good thing, but not at the cost of safe horny nickel & diming since most of the cucks on this board are fine being raped slaves for corporations after being buck broken completely.

No I'm not, I'm pointing out that you fags are slaves to social media.
Which is fucking mind blowing, this website did a complete 180 when it comes to that shit.
In 2010 people here would unanimously shit on you and you'd likely get a public ban if you brought anything up from Facebook or Myspace, and god forbid if you even dared to mention you went on Reddit.
Now this place spends so much time on those shitholes that even your speech mannerisms are those of Twitter, with the constant

OH MY HECKING GASLIGHT CHUD WHATABAUTISM I MUST CONSUME THE CHUD CODED PRODUCT FOR THE MALE GAZE OF CISHET PATRIARCHY

I enjoy art primarily for intellectual reasons not because "PHUN!1!" (a very simple emotion that only children, women and retards find contentment in).

Yes it's sekiro:doom edition but you can stick your shield in all the small demons unless they're armored or powered up.
Fully upgraded super shotgun also one shots unarmored mancubus and once you get the 3rd melee weapon you can combo anything to death.

No? Only those teens who think they are "so over the people of their age", the ones who see themselves as "more mature". And those people do not make the majority. The majority just wants to see some fucking action and explosions.

Well Anon, if that’s what makes you happy. I’ll continue to be a retard.

The purpose of this game is to play well on a gamepad. Everything else follows from that. How easy is jumping around, aiming from air and air control on MKB vs a pad? Eternal was the last gasp of PC first we will get from ID. It's Joever.

This. 2016 was a solid meh and Eternal was monotonous shit. Not even difficult. Just boring and not fun

What the fuck are you talking about, Eternal and 2016 were both made with a gamepad in mind.
Hell, the weapon swap is easier to do on a gamepad than on a keyboard.

709700867

concern trolling retard replies to himself since no one took the bait

pretty pathetic desu

Why go back so much?

it stuck with me how normies that didn't even play vidya were so hyped for that game
I guess the marketing department did an amazing job that time

You fags

I get you want to neatly order everything into a "us vs them" scenario because that's easy to digest but my whole point is that truth isn't made through conformity, which you keep reinforcing while trying to frame the entire discourse that way
the fact that a good portion of Anon Babble has shit taste doesn't magically make nu-doom good

the point of Anon Babble is to come here to shitpost, only low IQ pajeets use Anon Babble as a discussion board. Reddit and discord are far superior places to actually talk about video games, why bother on Anon Babble? Nobody here is genuine, only browns think that people are being serious about video games here.

The only reason I enjoyed Doom 2016 was because of a particular combination of runes that gave me infinite ammo so I can use the railgun in its big dick turret mode to 1 shot most enemies with infinite ammo. The catch to it was that if your armor fell below a certain level you lost infinite ammo so you had to be very good at dodging and staying at max health and armor. It was genuinely fun.
Then Eternal came out with its bing bing wahooing and even less ammo capacity without the infinite rune, and fuck that shit.
This new game looks even gayer. Bethesda sucks.
