This game is like, critical mass of everything wrong with the modern gaming industry

This game is like, critical mass of everything wrong with the modern gaming industry

looks the same as Eternal, runs 100% worse

can't turn off ray-tracing because devs are too lazy to do baked in lighting anymore

difficulty editing and accessibility out the wazoo

convoluted storyline instead of "angry guy kills demons"

It's like they aren't even trying to sell copies.

Runs 100% worse

Dude I fucking WISH it ran 100% worse than Doom Eternal, at least then I could run the game at ~70 FPS. On 4K with DLSS on a fucking 5080 I'm getting 50-70 FPS in the opening level

Its very strange, I dont think this was DEI or woke consultants, I think the devs in charge really have this shit taste and this is the game they wanted to make.
Oh well back to Doom wads

You forgot to mention the parryslop mechanics that's in every game now

minecraft started this way

24,734 In-Game

looks like people are not willing to pay 80 yuros for single player FPS games.

Funny how two of the best selling games of this year both cost 50 dollars,

If a game has parry I dont play it, its that simple
It is not a fun mechanic

To be fair to this shitty game, I'm playing on gamepass and I'm sure a lot of other people are too

I would never buy this slop for 70 bucks, not in a billion years

youtube.com/watch?v=ddzUGWdxsyA
It's crazy how much better the game could have played with a simple menu option.

Wait, you can't turn off the parry slowdown?
Let me refund on steam real quick.

This game is like, critical mass

No that would be your body actually

implying you ever bought it

This is a checklist game from the publisher, with all their requirements based on marketing researches. It's bloated with useless stuff like the dragon or the mech.
It has little to no soul and it costs way too much for a 10-12 hour playthrough.

Has anyone noticed how console gamers aren’t complaining about performance at all? Obviously PS5 players are amazed they can play a game at all (since the PS5 had no games before this, TDA is the world’s first PS5 game). But this doesn’t make the PC Master Race look good. How else can we market the 5090 if it runs Doom worse than a PS5?

I'd gladly take a 20 hour game rich with content than a 100+ hour walking simulator like Expedition 33.

Every single member of the designer and programing staff is the same as the previous two. Crying about "MUH SOVL" at this point just shows what a zoomie cuck you always were. Nothing post Doom 3 is Doom.

Consoles don't complain because they don't know any better. They love playing games at low and at 50fps.

I assume it's because on PC they just said

let's flip the ray-tracing switch on

whereas on PS5 they had to create ray-tracing specific to that system's capabilities

but has anyone actually played this on PS5? Does it run at 60 fps with any sort of stability? How's it look?

Doom Eternal uses full dynamic lighting, not baked.

As someone who has fucked around a bit with the tools, you're full of shit.

Doom is slop for fat redditors, and redditors dont like christianity

Doom Eternal uses full dynamic lighting, not baked. Which means raytracing is doubly lazy

Dynamic lighting isn't the same as raytracing though.

every game on ps5 when set to performance mode falls down to 480p 35-40fps instead of 720p 20-30fps of quality mode and consoleniggers eat it up

Why do I have to tune the difficulty, isn't that the game designer's job?

lol i saw that dragon shit and i have 0 interest in this game now
literally 0
microsoft literally turns diamonds to turds lmao
2016 and eternal were fun
this is doom 3 but uh
reddit

Bad story that's just padding the length

Ruined doomguy by turning him into whatever they did

useless mech and dragon parts, literal mobile gameplay

parry mechanism ruined by the fucking slowdown. The parry itself is so fucked (and arguably far from fun) with all the simon says tells.

music is generic (it's probably the least of all the problems though)

$90 / $110 game for 12h gameplay

It's not just "doom" not being "doom", it's just an overrated overpriced game.

It's actually incredible how parrying has filtered thr lifelong noobs from modern gaming

I deserve to play on normal!

The fuck do you mean "filtered?"

The parrying in this game is so easy and brainless that it's impossible to fail and even then you can tune it down and make it way easier

Its an objectively bad mechanic
It makes you passive and you have to await the moment to press the button, its borderline a QTE
It reduces depth, complexity, alternate combat scenarios,
Its only in games so that shitters feel good when they press the button the game told them to press

lol no loser
its like desert treasure 2 bosses and raids in osrs
its not shit content because its hard
its shit content cuz it expects you to be perfect
fuck that reddit shit this hobby went to fucking shit im out
might as well just off myself videogames was the last fun thing

>$90 / $110 game

According to Anon Babble, it runs at 480p 30 FPS. According to Digital Foundry, it runs at 1080-1440 upscaled to 4K and 60 FPS. Experts on Anon Babble claim this is false since it occasionally dips to 55-ish FPS, and therefore it must be running worse than an OG Xbox from 2003. But we still have analysis analyzing this.

Rumor also has it that consoles render “fake frames”, which means you are playing a fake game. We are awaiting FCC action regarding the sale of fake games.

Right, because PC is better. But we can’t use a 5070 or 5060ti or anything lower, we must use a $1,000 GPU. Do you see where your logic falls apart? Gaming is by far the most expensive hobby in the world if you want to comply with the rules.

In a time when higher refresh rate displays are becoming more and more common, even 60fps is unacceptable.

I played this game just fine on a $300 GPU.

I bet most people are playing on gaypass

I have a PS5 but I'm still not going to buy it on there even if it does run better

have to buy the game instead of gamepass, for one (70 bucks 10 hours lul)

have to play a single-player FPS with a fucking controller

Yeeesh.

Right, correct. So we’re now switching to HIGHER than 60 FPS as the goal, even though previously you slammed the PS5 for being at 20 FPS. Now even a regular PC rig isn’t good enough. And, let me guess, if we don’t have a $3,000 beast machine, we aren’t gaming correctly?

You realize that 90% of people here grew up with an N64 and Game Boy and didn’t think twice about it? You’re promoting self-flagellation.

It's Microsoft's magic touch
It makes dev studios rot inside

convoluted storyline

fake frames

DLSS upscaling

sub-100 FPS

You didn’t play the actual game.

n-no im just too good at it

t.played e33 on "tell me a story" mode

So we’re now switching to HIGHER than 60 FPS as the goal

Considering that's what this console gen promised, it's not switching to anything.

even though previously you slammed the PS5 for being at 20 FPS

Where? When?

Now even a regular PC rig isn’t good enough

I ran the game better than consoles on my shitbox lmao

You realize that 90% of people here grew up with an N64 and Game Boy and didn’t think twice about it?

Yeah, because they had no other choice.

people would rather do that than pay $80 for a mid game

tbf how many games have better flying mechanics than sm64?

Have modders imported TDA maps and enemies to Eternal yet?

Still better than what you got on PS5.

Because consoleniggers are used to games running like shit

Why would anyone? They're all built around the shield and aren't designed for vertical maps.

debra wilson

That's that hideous bug eyed nigger chick, right?

It’s not about the PS5, it’s about compliance. We hate the PS5 because it doesn’t comply with what real gaming is. Likewise, playing sub-100 FPS with fake frames and fake resolution also isn’t in compliance. See

Sure smells like curry in here.

It's about PC players having options and not having to deal with what they're given and how they're given. It's quite literally about consolefags not having standards.

Your hivemind shill clones () are seething that the PS5 is allegedly playing at N64 frame rates. Now not even 60 FPS is enough. We’re going from 20 FPS on console to 120+ on PC, and if you tell this to any “PCMR” acolyte, they’ll eat it up as fact. Just don’t mention that not even the 5090 can get over 60 FPS on this game.

Sure smells like baseless racism injected into a video game discussion. Jeet saar! DESIGNATED

oblivion remastered

"ew"

doom eternal remastered called the dark ages

"wooooooooow"

Who's "we"

Now not even 60 FPS is enough.

It hasn't been for a decade now. The Series X promised 4k and 120fps, and now games can't even deliver last gen's broken promise(1080p/60fps)

game dev here a sign that a company is a woke mess is a glut of accessibility options because that and GUI design is where they send all the DEI hires

HOW IS SO MUSIC SO GENERIC???????? HOW DID THEY MESSED UP THIS BAD????

Who are you quoting?

if you tell this to any “PCMR” acolyte, they’ll eat it up as fact.

The most ardent defender of PC on the internet is always a poor with a hand-me-down shitbox that's busy shitposting online about consoles because he can't run any games on his toaster and is too poor to afford a console either.
People with high end PCs that can run this crapware instead complain that the game itself is shit slop and not worthy of defending.

€80

dirt cheap in shitskin regions

You don’t have many “options” when even a 5090 can’t run this game well. Your options are to insert “fake frames” and “fake resolution” into your game that adds input lag, or to have a slideshow.

The “PC Master Race” will go through any length to prevent people from playing games how they want to play them. Even if the “master race” method is objectively worse. Look at the catalog and see all the screeching. Look on the Steam forums. Nearly every single complaint is about performance.

And Microsoft is essentially jeet central at this point. Go figure

What the fuck is this Spyro gameplay in a boomershooter franchise??

How many times do I have to say that consolefags lack standards? You'll happily play a 60fps game because that's buttery smooth compared to the past 20 years you've played games at "cinematic" framerates.

wow a 3k pc runs the latest sloppa better than a $500-$700 console. i am impressed.

most mentally stable max account-er

This game is piss easy and treats you like a fucking sub 80 IQ retard. It feels like it was made for toddlers

Monster hunter wilds is the same, looks the same as World that ran fine on my fucking base PS4 and Wilds runs like shit on a beefy PC. Denuvo is such a cancer on the gaming industry, why am I being punished for buying a game cause some fuckers pirated your old games? Fuck off

They fired Mick Gordon after they fucked him over during the development of eternal. His soundtrack was literally the reason 2016 was so successful and no one can tell me otherwise. If it had the same generic music as dark ages no one would have cared about it.

Here I am trying out Doom2016 as of right now, because I got curious enough to pirate it over the whole prerelease habub.
LITERALLY HOW THE FUCK DID THE ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD PSYOP ITSELF INTO BELIEVING THE REBOOT IS GOOD IN ANY WAY
HOW THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

It's absolute trash:

obvious console shooter, weapon viewmodels take up 40% of the screen regardless of the FoV

floaty Source-like movement that doesn't fit the photorealistic gritty artstyle of the game

it's also constantly glitching despite LE FAST meme and clips over every single nook and cranny

0 weapon feedback when shooting enemies, they flinch 5 frames later with canned animations and their texture gets gory

nauseating map navigation, orthostatic view fucks with your eyes

dynamic soundtrack that doesn't know when or what to fucking play

pseudo out-of-bounds platforming for some collectibles

horrific stuttering when the engine spawns enemies behind you in enclosed spaces, reliably triggered manually

gordon's soundtrack compressed to shit

tryhard super-high fidelity voice acting that doesn't fit scenes nor the setting

I could go on, how the fuck did a game more flawed than FPSs from 15 years ago become genre redefining?

Holy shit that looks good

Microsoft has yet to release a good game on gamepass. All the studios they acquire only create garbage and people still think gamepass is a good thing

Music sucks

Easy

349 bucks

Yeah, I'm thinking of skipping it. It's not even worth a pirate DL.

Uh, dude…are you sure you wanna go against Anon Babble, bro? E33 was on game pass and we all like that game.

the last 3 popular games were on gamepass

doom, 33, and oblivion remastered
and none of them are worth buying, all can be completed in a single month subscription window

that's a lot of money saved

that's a lot of money saved

you vill own nothing...

you don't own game on steam

Yeah that didn't bother me when I went to Blockbuster as a kid and it doesn't bother me now

It is retarded to own games you'll probably never play again.

Not a microsoft studios game

After the magic Mick Gordon did for 2016 and Eternal you think they'd give him a golden goose and unlimited budget and time. Bethesda and id are such ridiculous failures at even the most basic of product analysis.

Overrated OSTs, there's maybe 2-3 good tracks between the two games, the rest is noise

This.
This right here is what drives me fucking crazy.
This is how the suits that should have their heads roll for this absolute shit game will avoid consequences for their failure

well it looks like the market just won't support

no
shut the fuck up

I would pay that price for a game that made improvements to Doom 2016 or even Doom Eternal -- even though Eternal was on-rails it was at least fun.

Doom Dark Ages is fucking trash.
You made a trash game.
It has nothing to do with the market.
You made a car with square wheels because you're a fucking retard.
You suck at your job and you made a terrible product that so fucking bad nobody wants it even when they want that specific type of product.
The Doom IP is solid gold. You only get to this point through extreme neglect at a management/direction level. Fire them.

"Noise" is better than the garbage in Dark Ages.

Just don't be poor

Hulshult+Levy would have been better than what we got.

PS5 is everything bad on this damn industry, since UE5 was made with that shit ass console in mind

Could have saved $900 with a 9070xt and had better performance lmao

Doesn't matter, it takes one track to sell more copies than any trailer would

2 days "early access" for deluxe edition, in other words, the launch is paywalled

twitch drops

skins exclusive to hardware manufacturer and fucking pizza

denuvo

I hate modern gaming

Is your incel status sonys fault too?

The thing is that this will also happen when PS6 launches.
We could get some well optimized UE4 titles running easily at 60 fps, but no, they have to push that piece of shit lumen that smears the entire screen just as bad as poor TAA implementation

My leading local daily newspaper is calling it 5 stars and unironically "the best in 30 years"
Fucking slopsoomer shill critic

RT always being enabled is probably why the game is 60 gigs
Baked lighting is fucking expensive on storage.

Snoytranny angry after being exposed and calling others incel

Steamies like it why don't you?

I thought consoles were holding back gaming? Now the master race is crying about consoles being used as the base line?

i don't have to ocd cycle between 15 weapons to get health and ammo

this is a con

zoomies were a mistake.

Less fps is actually better here, because it limits the amount of frames you suffer through before uninstalling
t. 120(meme)frames at ultra nigger 1440p

Keep paying for overpriced hardware that doesn't even work correctly with the most popular engine on the market kek, I'll be playing Grand Theft Auto VI on my PS5 day 1

they swung too far in the other direction in TDA and weapon swapping is so fucking slow

I see that sonycvcks are raging over doom

I could go on,

Please dont...we already know about you shit taste.
Seriously why you think you whining matter?is all subjective shit and outright lies?
Try again.

The dragon and mech would’ve been fine if both carried the personality of the doom slayer - quick, aggressive, and violent but they completely botched it. And don’t get me started on that pointless lovecraft shit. It felt like Star Wars Episode 3 when the ending gets good and then you realize it was mostly because the old movies were good.

It needs a big patch and at least 10 hour DLC of quality ideas

it's so strange that pc only tards think they can shame console users into dumping their consoles for life when for the vast majority of people convenience is going to win every single time when given a choice. truly a pointless endeavor.

Jesus Fuck I just watched the first Dark Ages speedrun. Let me tell you, it is fucking miserable. There's no fast movement tech and almost no fighting. You just run past all enemies and activate the weapon wheel bullet time to phase through literally any wall.

PS4 and Xbone had pathetic CPUs.
PS5 and SeX/S actually had decent CPUs when they launched, but games are barely any different from stuff that was done during the 8th gen, but run a lot worse.

almost no fighting

Same goes for Eternal's any% speedruns. 100% Nightmare is where it's at.

The argument used to be that consoles are so weak that games were held back by having to run on them but now i‘m told that this game that runs at 60fps on console is apparently too demanding. How does this make any sense?

I'm clearly talking about UE games, dumbass

floaty Source-like movement that doesn't fit the photorealistic gritty artstyle of the game

tryhard super-high fidelity voice acting that doesn't fit scenes nor the setting

I'm not sure, would you be happy with high fidelity realistic or arcade? Those two sentences literally contradicts themselves, it makes you sound like a crybaby that wanna hate on everything

Still complaining about difficulty selections

Brown thread

This thread is about doom

UE5 mentioned here which was the post I first replied to

It is an issue when the devs are too lazy to set proper difficulty modes and expect players to adjust it with sliders instead. The dark ages on nightmare is easier than eternal on hurt me plenty. In general this game clearly cuts a lot of corners which i blame on gamepass because why would you put all that effort in when the game is just a glorified ad for a subscription service?

It's peak reddit doom

It's yet another "manly" game for low test faggots

Doom has always been easy since the first game, even Ultra Nightmare mode is easy. You are not special. Quit crying

B-But muh balance muh Design MUH CHALLENGE!


Shut up. I will NEVER let Anon Babble go on how much the Marauder filtered them. YOU are the reason why it exists. Because you refused to fight the marauder and kept bitching until they nerfed them. They nerfed Ancient Gods 1 too because of YOU people complaining about it being WAAH TOO HARD. Don't like it? Maybe you should have not acted like casuals. Wanna a challenge? Cry about it. You ruined it.

okay, yeah they're going to have to make an option to turn that shit off this looks 100x better.

This game is 90 bucks and look like it have some slow ass gameplay, who even gonna buy that shit, Bethesda managed to not fuck up only Skyrim and doom but now they fucked up Skyrim, Bethesda really suck

shills told me this was an optional toggle

what is the lore explanation for why some things are colored green and therefore 'parry'able by the shield ?

they're hella surgy

The price tag filtered everyone. The game bombed

Eternal had a rap trailer and sold more than this game

and the game has 2 biomes

>debra wilson

you've got to be fucking kidding me

what is wrong with 60fps? 60 is perfectly playable

She voices a white woman.

Eternal and this are both shit because there's too many made up rules breaking up the gameplay. You cant walk 5 feet without a new tutorial telling you to do this arbitrary thing to get 'x', because why...who fucking knows.

Can you skip those stupid turret/flying/mech sections in ng+

80$ games that look and play worse than 60$ games from even just a few years ago

Yeah that just about sums up the state of things.
The industry crash is probably never coming but I do wonder how long things can continue like this.

What NG+?

I watched some of the giant robot gameplay and it fucking shocked me.

You just stand there and mash punch on a target that has no hitreaction whatsoever until a fucking bar is filled, and then a tiny gun pops out and blue orbs explode the enemy with no impact or sfx. It legitimately looks unfinished, like some half-done kickstarter project.

Then it launched into a truly cringeworthy cutscene that I'm sure the writers felt was worthy of Game of Thrones.

elmostare.gif - 480x438, 2.42M

I just don't care for the DEI story. Otherwise it was a step down from Eternal but still okay. Like a 7/10 that is 6/10 if you factor in the absurd price tag.

nightmare.png - 1273x848, 1.22M

didn't eternal dlc have some huge mech too? i didn't play it.

debra wilson

Thanks, you’ve given me a reason not to buy this pile of horseshit

I turned off tutorials in Eternal before I even started playing, not once did I fail to understand a crucial mechanic.
I'll do the same for this game when I buy it on sale with all the DLC in year or two.

They’re so hung up on these games being a frickin badass power fantasy they forgot there’s meant to be an actual video game attached.
Doom turning into barely interactive cinematic shit is absolutely abhorrent. Glory kills and the cringey cutscenes in the last two games were bad enough and constantly broke up the action. Now there is no action at all.

The mech gameplay is hilarious how there is no weight. I will remind you that Hugo worked on Pacific Rim, the first one, the GOOD one. The one where all the robots had weight to all their movement, yet this game is japanese gundam style weightless mech.

the game is shit designed most enemies that are a threat have exactly one specific solution that you have to do instead of giving you different options, dumbfucking game designe

Ok well you're just not gonna know that doing a perfect dodge overpowers your auto canons. Otherwise the turrets you fight are indestructible. How does that make sense? Now multiply that by 10 other fake mechanics. Eternal and TDA have no fundamentals. It's just pulling shit out of a hat on a whim.

that STIFF transition to the gun against a gun that conveniently shoots walls instead of bullets AT you

one weapon viable

which?

Oh. My. Goddess.
Is that a heckin' dragorino!?
Shut up and take my money xD

Why is the music so fucking awful?

Because the studio fucked over Mick Gordon and then publicly shat on him despite Mick being 100% in the right.

Good composers tend to not want to work for companies that will fuck them over and then badmouth them.

No multiplayer

For real? Lol. LMAO.

In fairness were the multiplayer modes for any of the nu-Doom games ever popular?
A lot of the time I forget they even existed and nobody ever really brings them up. I can see why they would decide to not even bother.

Because the studio fucked over Mick Gordon and then publicly shat on him despite Mick being 100% in the right.

Good composers tend to not want to work for companies that will fuck them over and then badmouth them.

Well okay that's fine. However I have to ask do the people who put this game together have ears?
The music is unforgivably horrid.

So game journos complained about the marauders, so they made an entire game out of that.

You can shoot them until they die

Some people think Stratton was so pissed off about the clout Gordon got that he's been purposely sabotaging the music

Personally I just think the cheap and directionless MS studio they use now is talentless.

GmanLives said it was kino though

Expedition 33 Derangement syndrome has set in

consider that you faggots and your faggot bots have shit up /v for over three weeks now and even spread to /pol to market your shitty game...

Sure maybe people hype Mick way too much but the soundtrack in Dark Ages is extremely generic and it feels like one and the same song is playing through the entire game. Makes you appreciate Mick more.

Thisis MS making both the problem (jew pricing) and the solution (tard wrangle everyone to goy pass) with nobody actually calling them out.

AI generated

We were spared the sight of her horrendous visage, thank God.

dunno why it is hard to get 80s/90s metal bands as the composer for these. Everything from 2016 and on were shit.

how the fuck did a game more flawed than FPSs from 15 years ago become genre redefining?

Shooter draught. FPS have been practically dead for a decade so people who want shooter will take anything. If you've been starving long enough even a steak shaped turd will start to look attractive

didn’t they get the composer for Dusk to do the music for the Eternal DLCs? Why not bring him back on?

brown Anon Babbleskin has no taste

Of course

Why in the FUCK are they trying to create this le epic in game universe for Doom with le epic cutscenes and characters when vast majority of people don't give a shit and just wanna shoot gun and dick down demons with Doom guys super cock gun? The story in Dark Ages is FUCKING lame so far albeit I only played one mission. The story in the nu Wolfenstein games at least made you care, considering it's political nature but DOOM? WHY?

Because Stratton is a cheap faggot that is eternally butthurt over Mick Gordon blowing up from Doom 2016 and not him/his team.

looks like people are not willing to pay 80 yuros for single player FPS games.

people are not willing to pay for a bad game

The story in the nu Wolfenstein games at least made you care

Not really. it was tarantino slop

Well, UNOPTIMIZED single player FPS games, maybe.

I wonder if there will be a company that makes versions of AAA games with worse graphics, but that steal all of the gameplay mechanics, and sell them for half the price. By the time the game is announced, you could probably clone it and ship it.

christ

Should have been a Heretic game

dafuq you mean its slop? Doom doesn't even have a single character that is on the same level of complexity of Max Hass.

buy an ad retard

fetchimage.jpg - 600x582, 149.65K

Notice how you had absolutely no retort to what I actually said?
Raped.

expedition 33 is extremely repetitive and shallow though

no fucking way thats doom

Parrying is never, ever as fun as manually avoiding attacks and managing your distance from the enemy. Reduces all complexity to a single button press, and the punishment for failing a parry is exactly the same as getting hit in a game has always been.

The only way for a parry to be interesting is to incorporate some kind of directional input/dependency or give it some kind of drawback that makes it not the default best option for countering any kind of attack.

The game is also real easy. Significantly easier than Eternal even on nightmare, there's just so much defensive shit happening all the time from the shield. Beyond a full invincible block and parry, it's fucking AOE blasting apart rooms more than your guns are.
The game feels like a first person beat em up, and I just sometimes shoot a shotgun. Should have called it Quake.

They were
And that was a good thing

This was only stage 6 but it was the exact point I just got tired of the game and that's only like 2 hours gameplay up to that point.

text box covering a third of the screen to tell the player to press one button for a boost.

You can't parry any attacks except for the ones that glow green, which are themselves a subset of attacks usually from bigger / boss enemies. Failing a parry either gets you hit (which will almost kill you for the big attacks that are parryable), or will have you just block if you're too early which limits your ability to use the shield at all for a while after.

oh my science... this...this is epic, so gritty and le dark!

Should have called it Quake.

Call it Hexen, this shit doesn't even play anything like Quake.

Forcing doom into dark fantasy

when MS literally fucking owns Activision now, who owns Heretic/Hexen

Why the fuck are they so scared to DO something with the ips they already fucking have collecting dust.

even quake would have been better because fighting cosmic horrors was the fucking point in 1. doom is about demons and big guns

You are correct, this isn't Doom

I'm convinced that anyone that disliked Doom Eternal just got filtered super hard and has no taste. This isn't the way Doom should move forward.

My main gripe so far is the addition of a sprint bind.
MUH YOU FEEL LIKE A TANK NOW.
I immediately turned on auto sprint, and now all sprint serves to do is make regular movement feel clunky. Why is backing up so slow?

Also,
-Why am I checking the fucking map so much - this is Doom, I don't want to check the map every 45 seconds.

-The plasma SMG is really underwhelming, but I haven't unlocked any upgrades for it, so maybe it gets better?

-Same with the metal ball launcher, whatever it's called. Like, its purpose is to remove armor, but what does this weapon do that "shoot the enemy and throw shield" doesn't?

-Soundtrack is good. Doom Eternal's shits on it though.

-Every encounter is literally just a field with some cover, where Doom Eternal's arenas felt distinct.

-Enemies are much more difficult to see, and deaths feel like you got scammed sometimes.

-It feels like you're forced to explore the levels and use the fucking map if you actually want to upgrade gear. Stupid. Organically exploring will get you ~30-40% clear rate whereas opening the map to go to the stupid fucking ?'s actually gets you enough materials to purchase the upgrades. whyyyyyy.

-The mech and dragon levels were cool, but I feel like these are going to make me groan if I ever decide to revisit the game. I don't have the desire to replay them. Mech level is at least really short.

-Cutscenes are stupid and I do not care about the 'good guy' characters at all. I do like the obese makyr guy though. Main villain designs are also peak.

That being said, it's not terrible - there's definitely some good here.

All the shield mechanics are great, the game is polished, and the combat feels good.

Doom Eternal >> Doom 2016 > Doom: The Dark Ages

Doom 3 chads win yet again

file.png - 2518x1024, 528.42K

I just finished this level. The dragon is like a vehicle that you use to go to the various points of interest. You disembark and play the game normally. These short aerial combat sections are ok for a first run but I'm sure they're gonna be a chore in every other run. Generally I'm having fun but I feel like there's not gonna be much replay value. Like there's not enough combat. Arenas are filled with fodder that you one-shot en masse and the handful of heavies aren't hard to deal with. Also there's a bunch of rooms that are just empty. Maybe I'm still in the easy levels.

one of the first scenes in the game is doomguy telling the plot to fuck off

What went wrong? Why is it all an ADHD convoluted mess now?

2001 was when console became a very popular platform for the genre.

multiple threads up shitting on this game

I purchased it because that guarantees its kino. Go figure, I was right. It’s infinitely better than Eternal. Not quite as good as 2016 however.

They told me the same and I believed them. I got memed.

autism

THATS WHAT I MEAN! DOOM ETERNAL AND THIS WHOLE LE EPIC STORY SHIT THEY WANNA FEED US WAS A MISTAKE.

no multiplayer is a bad thing

Fuck off normalfags

Eternal is easy. I didn't get filtered by it. I just think it's shit.

The gimmick shit with the mech and dragon suck. Feels like a mobile game as far as gameplay depth and variety. I wish they had spent all that dev time making a map editor or multiplayer. The mech is especially shit. At least the dragon is neat to fly but the mech is just poor mans infinity blade. Sucks my nuts

got filtered super hard and has no taste

It's a difference in opinion. Not everyone wants to play FPS games like they're a sweaty MOBA.
I beat Eternal, but I found it annoying a lot of the time. Fast-paced gameplay with tons of enemies constantly up your ass+limited ammo+need to constantly switch weapons and manage cooldowns to optimize your DPS and exploit enemy weaknesses is a bad combination imo.

This game is like, critical mass of everything wrong with the modern gaming industry

Translation: I'm a tranny dev working in my parent's basement and only upvote (not play and certainly not buy) games made by other commie tranny indie devs.

What happened with them? Did Marty screw over them as well?

This game is peak tranny, you falseflagging gcj retard

Retard

Expansive difficulty settings are good, there is literally nothing wrong with games being much more modular. You're just a big stinky baby who wants to seethe at how other people play videogames while not playing any yourself

durr you just can't afford it!

It's on gamepass you retards, I made this thread while playing the fucking game. It's not inaccessible, at all.

Is that really the one thing you can cling to to defend this piece of shit?

You are a dumb gay faggot

my 4070 can run it well you fag

add more budget, downtime and emphasis on the plot

it's fucking filler and does nothing to actually advance or add to the series whatsoever but pad out a $70 with pointless bullshit and maybe set up a Quake tie-in

doesn't even actually end at the point that sets up 2016, meaning you're waiting for DLC at best

any game that tests your motor skills in some way is now ADHD

stick to turn games you fucking shitter

change language to Japanese

console sys_lang en

don't have to listen to niggers anymore

Not my problem.

Just want to say the 'Morale' mechanic and the related arenas are by far the worst part of all three games so far, especially if there's a fucking Cyberdemon as the last enemy before the 'boss' shields drop

The three punch mechanic feels awful but I don't mind everything else

durr you just can't afford it

didn't say that in my post bozo, but of course you can't actually argue the words on your screen so you gotta invent a claim you can defeat. how could you dislike modular difficulty settings when you invent lower difficulty debates here

Is there a better opening to do damage on Cyberdemons after a double parry? Or is it really just melee combo? They're taking ages to die

looks the same as Eternal, runs 100% worse

Eternal looked better because I didn't have use upscaling to run the game at 200+ fps at native res. Also the pure dark baked in lighting looked great on OLED displays.

that theme

SOVL
Just another sad reminder Mick ruined Doom with his zoomer metal.

i dont understand the point of revival sigils. i am like chapter 5 or something and it feels kinda pointless?

Bethesda doesn't want a second TAG situation. They want to maximize the audience.

Its levels also aren't just flat open empty spaces.

This game is a prime example of why videogames are not worth $70-90. I'm glad it rightfully flopped. Now they will lower its price to its actual value even sooner. I'll pick it up when it's $30 or less, just like Doom Eternal is now.

whats even the downside to using them?
i dont get a cool achievement?

looks the same as Eternal, runs 100% worse

lol what. the game runs perfect. most optimized new release i've seen in fucking years.

debra wilson

Fucking dropped. Jesus.

So Dark Ages is actually like Doom instead of being just Quake with gimmick enemies?

Speaking of OLED the HDR in Dark Ages is a monumental step down compared to Eternal's. On a good OLED display the lighting actually looks worse in Dark Ages. The irony.

But Doom is a corridor shooter. Only the hell levels are that wide open and were always shit.

wide open

actually like Doom instead

How long does this game actually take to beat? What about 100%

They don't use her face, sadly.

convoluted storyline instead of "angry guy kills demons"

This is just more Eternal, its literally everyone's fault for deepthroating "DA DOOMGUY" semenposting for years.

I'm happy that zoomfaggots got a product they deserve.

Heretic and Hexen won’t sell gorillions on brand recognition alone.
I’m not sure Quake even could anymore. Sadly these ips are going to be locked away and left to rot forever because nobody wants to take a gamble on reviving them.

Doom isn't going to sell all too well either when you hardware lock a majority of the planet out of playing it.

Fuck your revivals and remakes and rehashes. Make something new and good.

The downside is the occasional loading screen I guess.

Everyone always says then nobody buys the game unless it's a troon indie discord game

I said good.

hq720[1].jpg - 686x386, 35.72K

Did they hire the guys who made that other FPS Immortals of Aveum (which flopped miserably) To make this? They even got Debra Wilson like in that game.

So theres no double dash and grapple hook? lmao i imagine going from Eternal to this feels like shit.

The lack of mobility is a bummer indeed. I also miss muh grenades and flame belch.

Yes doom maps are flat. You don't jump on Quake jump pads like a tard in them.

So many areas are devoid of encounters. And why does every game need a 5s animation to turn a level ffs.

wide open

doom

they were mostly flat because they couldnt make layered design due to engine limitations

debra wilson

Gets funnier every time

10 hours long

Isn't this shit meant to be "open world"?

why would you need a grappling hook when you can teleport into enemies with the shield at any time?

It's the microshit effect. All these games get put on goypass and thus are cheaply made because you know Microsoft loses a shit ton of money putting these games on goypass.

debra wilson

was thinking about getting game despite all the other bullshit but that's too far

No matter what you say about Doom 3, it is still more Doom than the Dark Ages lmao.

The funny thing is she's not even "as Debra Wilson" like she usually is, she's a fucking white woman.

With the hook you could fly in the air and drop air strikes on the demons. Man, eternal was fun.

There is no way it is 10 hours.
To get any fucking satisfaction out of this gameplay, you MUST get the upgrades.
Scouring the level for insane amount of garbage and """secrets""" you would want to pick up to afford them, means you can easily shave off like 30% of the game time.

This game is filled with retarded filler, bloat, and time padding.
Remove all this dragon shit, gold farming, mechs, and walking sections where you just listen to dialogue and click "relics/artifacts", and you got a 5 hour campaign.

As someone who won't play it now (I'll buy it later when it's on sale) but is cautiously optimistic about it. I gotta say, this footage without the slow mo looks a million times better and a mod should not be required for it

Putler has fused with Satan, thus creating SUTLER

Only Doomslaya and the Doomvengers can stop this threat to democracy

*shot during the battle*

*SphereHunter jumps on a demon and breaks his neck using her legs*

SphereHunter: Captain Zelensky, there are too many, we can’t hold them back!

Dave Rivera: My cyber forces are fading. Grummz must be behind this!

*Doomslaya and Isabelle rip through enemies using chainsaws*

RIP AND TEAR!!

*Sutler approaches the battlefield*

*Steve tries to attack him with his chickenjockey ability but is repelled*

Keanu: This is the end of democracy…

*A bolt of energy strikes from space*

Rick Sanchez: Ursula?!

Kojima: Hi, Ursula-san,I'm Hideo

Ursula Von der Leyen: Hi, Hideo. Do you have something for me?

*Ursula takes the Infinity Funko Pop*

*Sutler charges furiously at Ursula and they clash with equal power*

*Sutler uses one of his Infinity Funko Pops to attack Ursula and steal the final one*

*Doomslaya’s dragon tries to strike back at Sutler but is slain by him*

Steve: No!

BetterMan: murderer! You killed Dragorino!

Doomslaya: My friend…*furiously approaches Sutler* You killed my friend! Now how will I share his pics on r/chonkers?!!

*Doomslaya and Sutler fight brutally*

Sutler: This is your end, Slayah!!!

*Isabelle steps between Sutler and Doomslaya*

Isabelle: Slayah…forgive me.

*Isabelle is mortally wounded*

Doomslaya: NOO!

*Sutler takes the last Infinity Funko Pop*

*Steve jumps on Sutler trying to snatch the last Infinity Funko Pop but is easily defeated*

Sutler: I… AM INEVITABLE

*Sutler snaps his fingers but nothing happens*

*Steve looks at Sutler with a smile despite being badly wounded*

Steve: I… AM KYIIIIIIV

*Steve snaps his fingers, eliminating all the demons and thus saving democracy at the cost of his life*

It seems that blind run is 10-11 hours, second run 5-6 hours. Eternal blind run was 15 hours iirc.

wow this is sad.

actually get to listen to the music a little via some videos

it is the most dogwater surface level "we got metal vibes, see" shit you can possibly imagine, a passionless production that basically just has stock drum kit and guitar sounds without a single sense of melody or interest

Say what you will about Mick Gordon's noise-djent-whateverthefuck, at least it had personality. Holy christ on a stick what is this garbage? This is what grandparents think metal sounds like.

This is rape.

Oblivion is also on game pass btw.

What the fuck were they thinking?

That the "modern audience" will buy it anyway.

Had the game is my cart but skimmed this thread and immediately changed my mind

Your post was spot-on until the end where you said that retarded "too much for a 10 hour playthrough" bit.

Multiplayer has been a part of doom since the original zoomerfag

Tyler1 looking good.

The novelty wears off very fast. Honestly it's just not as fun as it might look.

MAX HASS

mere coincidence?

Everything I see of it is the most milquetoast product I've seen in a very long time. It's frustrating to watch gameplay at length because I start having my eyes glaze over with how completely and utterly lacking in energy or urgency it is. It's slower than Classic Doom, only beating out Doom 3 for pacing, and enemy damage registration is "they pop like balloons" or "they take like nine solid melee hits to feel like they're maybe close to death". Guns went from an emphasis of usage, to whittling down the damage sponges slowly but surely and goring mooks instantly. The shield and melee feel like trying to add on a system equal to the stagger and glory kills or grenades of old, but doesn't have any of the flow even 2016 had, while making parries feel patronizingly idiot-proof.

They've somehow made a Doom game that drives me to sheer boredom, and the people I've been watching trying to play it all have the same general opinion of not finding a real "oh this is where it comes together" moment. How the fuck do you do that?

Who the is Debra Wilson and why does everyone hate her?

they hate her because she is easy to work with

Why do Cyberdemons eat point blank super shotgun blasts like candy? Meanwhile I'm getting ganked in a 360 degree radius

What FOV should I use?

Everyone seems to havd just assumed game companies expect everyone to buy their games for ~$80. Instead I wonder if game companies are purposefully squeezing the paypiggies dry initially and planning all along to drop the price later to get the large sales numbers.

Well, either I'd refute or agree with you if I could get the game to run. Now I'm going to make a new partition to dual boot bazzite so I can have the NVIDIA drivers it needs because of the DLSS and forced raytracing meme they're doing to try and get the game to work before I just refund it.

What FOV should I use?

360

Cyberdemons have been like that since the 90s

Probably unplayable with no slow down on higher speeds, pick your poison.

Debra Wilson

The game is goated you fucking piece of steaming shit, I BOW TO MY QUEEN

yes but in this game I'm forced to melee

Yet another third entry doomed to fail.
Hell, at least Doom3 had fucking kick ass knock off lateralus theme and the best Plasma rifle of the franchise...
There is not a single iconic song in this pile of shit. Pity

There's a story? I just skip all cutscenes and blast demons (after running down empty hallways for a few minutes)

Hmmmm, I might buy it if he makes a mod that skip all mech and dragon sections

DSP financial supporter

I only did the first one but the dragon section was fun I don't know what the fuss was about, the dragon breathing fire down the mouth of that huge demon was fucking awesome, it helps that the Dragon was taking you to the FPS parts

I still can't figure out why did they had to model him as a greasy "italian-american".
Unironically, there should be a Doom 3-2, doubling down on being spooky.

I just love the unapologetic Lateralus ™ ripoff

Seriously I have no idea what's going on. It feels like the game begins in the middle of a story without any explanation of what caused all this ruckus.

wasnt menu music actually made by TOOL

it's good that doom slayer is totally calm actually

fuck off retards

the real answer is I can't tell
anything that isn't 60 dropping to 20 and below I would probably never notice anyway.
What I noticed is that unlike all other PS5 games this one doesn't have an option to toggle between performance and resolution modes.

people misunderstood the scene; le epic slaya is telling the character samuel hayden to fuck off, but you are forced into unskippable first person cutscenes anyway

debra wilson

why is she in so many games? I can't think of another face scanned actor so prolific across the medium

she really want that jobs she even brings an usb with her frog skull scans

Which is the most powerful weapon in theg ame fully upgraded, Super Shotgun, Impaler or the Chainball

Either the impaler or super shotgun. I honestly forgot I had the chainshot for 90% of the game.

Some ex NIN and some other fag gathered to steal the main riff. Can't say I blame them though is very catchy.

ah yes i remember my doctor changing the hammer reflex meme for a big traffic light with a green flash color and if i fail it pull an energy shield with his ghost pitbull sumonning to eat my balls

chainball its the perfect parry weapon at endgame where evert demon has armor ( cause after parry you get one charged shot) , supershotgun fucking sucks in range and compared to shotgun upgrades being a flaming burst weapon making almost unlimited armor

hmmm well that makes thingg complicated

also rocket launcher its a nice parry weapon close quarter with a buff that makes splash damage heals you after parry

The stun you get for throwing a shield at a medium sized enemy is way too OP

Pretty sure the Impaler is better at more ranges than the Super Shotgun and the slow mo shot is actually broken as fuck, combine that with the Shield Throw stun and you will kill most enenemies before they do anything

I never used the slow-mo, just the extra damage when gaining ammo.

Have you tried turning off RT?

This looks like it should’ve been sin and punishment controls

impossible anon without reverse engineering the whole game looks like they didnt just outsourced music for worse

That's very uncool.

Agaddon Hunter feels like an attempt at medieval Marauder but it felt like complete shit to me because of the insane pushback from parrying stuff

I thought only the premium versions can play right now?

Like every doom game?

That was only for two days.

Why can't you run the game on linux anon?

3 right?

if it was 50 bucks I'm sure a lot more people would have buy it. In fact I suspect that's a secret niche the suits are too dumb to fill: there is no/little cost of supply and a huge market.
Even if it's something like ten thousand extra players, that would be a 5 thousand dollar increase (24734 * 70$ - 34734 * 50$ = -5320$), and that's a severe underestimation.

No, two.

muh game's shit because it's single player for ten hours

You are right to complain if it costs this much for a mediocre/middling game with little replay value. I don't bitch out about flash games because they're free. But if it's 80$ I better get my 80 in quality or quantity. Or at least give me new game+/cheats so I can break the game like in RE4

Flail fucking sucks, went back to the gauntlet and I'm doing actual damage with the melee again

It doesn't look the same as eternal. it looks noticeablely worse. And they try to hide it by just making the entire game dark.

It runs at rock solid 60fps, 1440p on series X. 5 year old console by the way.

agree

people gave you shit

To be fair I played on PS4 on my sister's console. But I didn't care much for Doom Eternal (although I did had fun with both. It was decent, all right, 5/10, a one night stand game)

The flail is fun when you upgrade it to give back armor.

considering it's political nature but

Oh no, nazis that were a massive threat four generations ago. I'm really thankful a game managed to convey the angst/suffering I endured at Auschwitz (the memorial, neither me nor anyone I know has actually be deterred in it).
Thank you Machine Games. Thank you for speaking up against nazis, who are defended by Anon Babble and teenagers (an overlapping group). Thank you.
The parasite that infects suits has made it impossible of them to create an A/AA game. So we're left with every developer playing high stakes poker, meaning they want the odds in their favor as much as possible. God forbid they do a small bet and get modest returns, no they wanna launch dates to replicate D-Day

Doom has had dark fantasy elements in the background since 2016.

On Nightmare it feels like armour melts in a second I'd rather just kill the demon

I'd rather parry than run away and dodge when on low health though.

So what happened? Did they fire everyone who worked on Doom 2016?

Runs like shit too. In truth if you want to have a good time at 4k you need over $1k. And this turd isn't going to boost top tier GPU sales.

It renders at 720p with jeetsoft upscaling - on medium settings
And console cattle doesn't know any better

4070 super ryzen 7 7800x3D

everything on ultra nightmare graphics with dlss set to quality

getting 150fps at all times

Works on my machine.

20 hours

short

i'm not even old, how in the fuck is 20 hours, for a fucking ACTION game, is too fucking short?

2016 vs Eternal is a great example of how less is more with story telling.

it's no worse than other nudoom's, gordon is hilariously overrated

To be fair TRVNS-GVDS occasionally make good games like Ultrakill.

Sometimes, a game really is bad because the people helming it are just
dumb

still better than shartair shartcur shartpedition sharthree sharthree

finishingmoveinc.com/music

From the composers of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and ads for The Men's Wearhouse.

Microsoft is shooting themselves in the dick for releasing this kind of game on Gamepass.

Why pay 80/90 bucks when I can just sub for 10 bucks and play all of it in less than a week? I feel most people are doing this and I bet even Oblivion suffered from it. It's good for me but if Microsoft actually wants to make profit they should timegate new releases on game pass lol.

and i thought bing bing eternal looked fucking retarded

>looks the same as Eternal, runs 100% worse

>can't turn off ray-tracing because devs are too lazy to do baked in lighting anymore

>difficulty editing and accessibility out the wazoo

>convoluted storyline instead of "angry guy kills demons"

i will buy your game

>debra wilson

i will not buy your game

The game is just too easy. I didn't see a single streamer who was struggling at any point while playing nightmare.

The only thing that baffles me is that how they prided in Doom and Eternal running on fucking anything, then stonewalling this specific game past ray tracing only video cards, hate that shit.

i thought this game would easily peak 100k, but it's only 30k lol what the fuck

wtf is this superman 64 ring simulator? This isn't fucking doom lol kek wtf are they on over there hahaha.

This clip doesn't show it, but there are actual rings in the game that you must fly through to heal your dragon.

lmao

LMFAO THAT'S SUPER MAN 64! THEY MADE SUPER MAN 64 IN 2025 HAHAHAHA Fuck these western devs hahahaha people are so dumb.

Also how the fuck did they confuse demon lore with dragons? When the fuck were dragons part of hells army? These devs are hitting the crack pipe HARD.

FUCKING KINO AHHHHHH TAKE MY MONEYYY

They're not from hell. They're native fauna from the Sentinel planet.

oh jfc they are doing it. they're fucking up the doom lore beyond recognition.

No, wait. You can actually see the healing rings briefly if you pause the video at the 22-23 second mark.

Just missing a son to complete the normalfag slop bingo

Seriously, how much of this game is quick time events and cut scenes?

did you watch any fucking gameplay
anyone who ever cared about doom was 100% turned off instantly they opened a gameplay video, the only ones left are nu-doom redditors

bro just make DOOM 2016 2 its that simple

From the shit I saw of this piss weak game, i'm going to agree with you 1,000,000%. Absolute trash bin shit. This game will surely be a hit with the <10yo crowd.

It has less enemy variety than eternal too. There’s no archviles, carcass, pain elementals, prowlers or gargoyles.

did you watch any fucking gameplay

nope

Looks like shit.

shut up and parry this tennis ball

WHY ARE ALL OF YOU OF BEING THE POOR? YOU MUST PLAY $80 GAME VERY GOOD. UPGRADE RIG POOR.

taking the bait

you will never be white

Whiter than you are, Pablo. 2016 was a blight upon the Doom series.

literally the only good doom game

They already fucked up a fair bit with Eternal, but this plot is basically "MUH LORE" filler.

Prince Ahzrak of Hell wants to get power to usurp the Doom Slayer being the scariest thing around

Night Sentinels and Doom Slayer fight Hell a bit

a fat Maykr named Kreed is evil, because he's gluttonous and thus obviously a bad guy, so of course he betrays the Night Sentinels while Kahn Maykr denies any allegations of involvement

there's another plane of reality, a dimension called the Cosmic Realm that literally has Cthulhu and other Lovecraftian shit and what may as well be slipgates, because might as well meld Quake into this shit without ever using the enemies or names involved

Ahzrak sets up a plan to kidnap the debra wilson commander woman where it's revealed those Wraiths that had to be extinguished at the end of Doom 2016 actually are some precursor race of super powerful alien god beings that are sealed in the genetic memory and souls of the Sentinels

Doom Slayer fucking dies and is so angry he Kratos's his way out of purgatory and is revived from death by the Sentinels using probably the same sort of magic that Valen would use to revive his dead son (who doesn't die by the end of Dark Ages yet)

also Ahzrak kills Doom Slayer's pet monster dragon and now he's extra pissed because Daisy 2.0

even despite gaining the power of a god through Wraith energy, Ahzrak still gets his shit pushed in inevitably by Doom Slayer

"IF YOU KILL ME HELL WILL HUNT YOU FOREVE-ACK"

game ends with Night Sentinels recuperating as they start to realize how evil the Maykrs actually are, Ahzrak dead, and Doom Slayer waiting to go kill more Demons after jacking Kreed's ship, the plot basically in the hiatus point of waiting for the actual Codex Lore for 2016 and Eternal to fucking start

5 years, RT-required performance devouring bullshit, $70 price tag, story DLC on the way for a game that genuinely solves nothing and just makes Night Sentinels the He-Man cheerleader crew

upgrade your gaming rig to play slop simulator ultimate

game is shit

immediately pre-order next slop simulator even though the last one was shit.

upgrade your rig so you get 500fps

game is shit again

lather, rinse, repeat

it's just too easy for western devs to peddle their slop to retards.

Yeah, I get it. You're Mexican and have only ever owned an Xbox.

jfc who is writing this cringe bullshit? just hire some kid from reddit who makes fanfics to do it. it would be more coherent at least. shit i've seen pornos with more depth than this.

don't make fun of mexicans you filthy gringo. they make the best food.

If you have a Ryzen APU there's a bug that neuters performance and leads to intermittent crashing, disable the iGPU in the bios or install the latest AMD drivers to rectify.

Anyone can combine beef, beans, and lettuce.

No they don't lmao.

80 ANGELA MERKEL FUN BUCKS

Not like the mexicans can. You watch your mouth. I like my taco tuesdays.

i am so offended on behalf of mexicans. this man doesn't know what he's saying. he's clearly been drinknig.

I'm glad gamers are putting their foot down on this bullshit. What I find interesting is that Microsoft is willing to sacrifice ID for it's gambit of forcing retards on gamepass

The CEO of Id is a literal whining Redditor. Let it burn.

The dalle-3 thread is in the other way, barney.
nevermind, go home Anon Babble you're drunk.

Played for one hour, after learning the basics of new "movements" and noticing tripling down with glory kills + parry + melee combat made me refund the game.
Probably gonna reinstall Eternal in the weekend and try to get 100%.

it's political nature

That was only really The New Colossus that had that. TNC had a lot of downgrades in general in terms of story, character, writing, and even gameplay compared to the kino that was The New Order and The Old Blood. I was extremely disappointed they didn't have a giant mecha hitler death battle in full realized 3D graphicsa nd the comparisons to American politics felt in poor taste and divisive. Also didn't like the whole BJ is half-Jewish but his father hates Jews so he married a Jew? I feel it's rather jarring and weak, I think BJ's dad should have just been an abusive bastard like The Old Blood hinted at and having BJ be 100% Aryan. I feel the story is stronger knowing BJ would be the model example of an Aryan soldier and would probably be in Nazi high society, but chooses to fight for what he believes in and holding true to his morals. Really feels like more of a uniting message rather than him fighting Nazis because he's actually Jewish. feels extremely weak to me and sort of cheapens his character a little in my opinion.

Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse is probably on my list of video game antagonists. I don't think there's any other antagonists that personally mock both the main character so often. Every single time I died his face was mocking me. All of his appearances stole the show and made me generally want to murder this character for how much of a bastard he was. Masterclass in villain writing. Again I was really saddened that didn't dot he same with literal Hitler. It would have been edgy and awesome.

That's extremely offensive! Max Hess doesn't deserve to be compared to Tyler1.

That shit is why I can't install 2016.

I can't seem to find a single positive comment about the soundtrack. I'm not just talking about this site, everyone just says it's either fine or generic. There has to be at least one memorable track. I remember Eternal just blasting this cool rendition of the Icon of Sin the second you boot the game. Why couldn't they achieve that?
youtu.be/_WnP1wKxW4M?si=iALZtMKBMQFQljSQ&t=27

The track that plays at the end of chapter 9 when you get the first shield rune was it for me. It's not on the official soundtrack, so you'll have to wait for the game rip. But it also sounds a lot like Meathook with some parts pitched up.

still looks great even today

Yeah... not gonna lie, everything I've heard and seen so far is less than stellar. Closer to mediocre and detestable. I'm going to wait for a deep sale. I will eventually play it, but I'm not gonna pay anything higher than 19.99 (plus tax)
