RIP nuDoom 2016-2025

What killed it? $80 at launch? RTX? Becoming capeshit? Press F for awesome? Parry mechanics? Was it simply too gay?

tried too hard to be goy of war simon says red light green light open world dragon riding slop. But mostly the RT requirement and price

probably all of that and I heard people didnt like the last one that much either.

It was uninteresting, just look at any trailer and have the balls to tell someone that was amazing and you're literally waiting for it to come out.

doom 2016 ran at 300fps on mid tier hardware (thanks john carmack!)

doom 2025 runs at 110fps @ 1080p on my 5090 and doesn't look better

I only play Doom in the third person perspective. Fuck FPS fags.

he got hard filtered

HOLY FUCKING KEK

They pandered to the wrong audience.

Forced ray tracing supposedly to make development easier for id

But then id proceeds to create worse levels, worse story, and worse music and charges more money for the game. Also, no master levels or slayer gates.

So what was the point of mandatory ray tracing? How did id use the extra development resources to make the game better? And if they didn't do that, why didn't they pass on the savings to consumers?

Are credits full of indian names by any chance?

the normie is fickle. maybe they're just bored of doom now.

I'll never get people taking pride in liking and buying corporate checkmark games

how about u git gud tho

Game got exposed by DSP

It's always Indians. Everything they touch turns to shit.

and charges more money for the game

Yea, this shit is why I will never care when people talk about raytracing or UE5 reducing dev time, because it never means shit for me as a consumer, and often times it results in MORE expensive games.

eternal was shit, no second chances, not for fucking 80 bucks.

Eternal sold much better than 2016 chud.

Is it really doom if it isn't optimized to run off a toaster?

you don't like eating shit? That must mean you're bad at eating shit

Heh

scat anology

kys demented scatfag

for me? it's was F for awesome, not even nintendo games makes me feel so retarded for playing videogames

the power of being sponsored by nvidia
save the salary of 2 dudes going through the game baking lighting to pay for xerveloper's transitions

Why not all of the above? lmao

Even spasming out randomly swapping jumping and shooting, this clip looks significantly more fun than *stand still and wait for big green ball to parry*

I was the biggest doom 2016 shill on this board.
Then they released Doom: Mario eternal and I wanted to vommit. I dont even care about doom: sekiro

¥80 at launch

its a damn shame poorfags, richfags and fagfags can’t just band together for an entire year and refuse to purchase anything over $40, consumers literally have the power to correct this but pay piggys gonna pay pig

parry

there's nothing wrong with parry mechanics (as long as they take tight timing) how it is in doom 2025?

how would anyone know its shit without playing it, are you fucking retarded? don't reply to me again

to this day I'm still confused on how anyone could think eternal was a worse game than 2016.

The main mistake was calling it Doom

Doom wasn't optimized to run on toasters. Tech evolved so much you could run Doom on toasters

one of the things that bothered me the most about the transition from 2016 to eternal was the change in menu design.

the menus in 2016 were so sleek and beautiful.

i really feel like they dropped the ball with the menus and HUD design from a conceptual standpoint artistically in eternal.

however, the HUD in eternal was functional and made everything i needed to see highly visible. i found the transition to such video-gameyness very jarring still despite the fact that i still enjoyed the gameplay. i understand why they push the combat loop in eternal, and i do think it's very enjoyable when you've really got it down and are on high difficulty.

but again, aesthetically and artistically, the original doom 2016 was superior on all fronts, and that's necessary to make the shooting gameplay so engaging. it wouldn't be fun if the mechanics were identical but everything was just colored blobs and boxes with no scenery or story.

It's a mystery.

It just built upon 2016 though, it was the same gameplay, but more, with more options. Unlike the dark ages that removed a bunch.

Aesthetics in general were great in Doom 4, it has been nothing but downgrades since then.

hey guys Marty here can you guys record a video where you're just rocking out to some one dollar school project guitar riffs like that other guy who used to work for us did...what's his....Matt something....ah yes Mike Gunner. Attaching this video of his youtube.com/watch?v=QHRuTYtSbJQ yeah just do this

Eternal fractured the playerbase. It's extremely different from 2016. It has plenty of fans but do those fans own the most expensive PC build and will they spend $80 on a game that will assuredly go on sale

Not him, but for me the game was fucked up from the begining to the end. In 2016 I was an angry ordinary dude fucking up demons, trapped in hell at the end. Now I am in a spaceship, and it turns out I am the legendary chosen one demon killer angel. Fuck off game

sure thing Marty here you go youtube.com/watch?v=NKoV4zKCsHo

What killed it? $80 at launch?

the fuck??? Its available for free on Game Pass lol aint nobody paying for this chit

I am a 34 year old boomer and got hard filtered.
all these colors and sprites and the bing-bing wahoo are too much for me

there's nothing wrong with parry mechanics

Parry doesn't belong in fps as it takes away from core elements of a genre which is using movement to avoid damage and aiming and shooting your weapon to inflict damage. Pressing buttons like in rhythm game to do both just makes it more accessible for tourists while alienating hardcore fps fans.

feel like a cod campaign, dull levels, same old tired gameplay.

Seething favela poors ITT

this. and even more significantly, parry doesn't belong in an id-style arena shooter campaign. id shooters are supposed to be fast, all movement all the time, and no crouching or sprinting bullshit. parrying is basically just that kind of bullshit.

The ui artist changed between 2016 and eternal, fyi

you just don't like eating shit because you're to poor to afford shit

Heh

Found the brokie

RTX requirement

Damn, guess I really need to upgrade from my 980ti now

Imagine seeing this ad and thinking yeah I need to buy this shit game RIGHT NOW

The desperate attempts to be cool definitely didn't help

It was dead before it released because DOOM Eternal already went full "Le Angles vs Demonz what if the good guys are bad" which is dumb.

Yeah bro shame me into buying the game just how brown and/or Jewish are these shills? Has this tactic ever worked ever in the history of media?

Seems like it's because it's a worse game than Eternal. They changed the gameplay, okay, but it's not confidently executed like they weren't sure what the goal is. How the FUCK do you make a game with mecha and dragon sections that aren't fun?
It also has worse graphics than Eternal, while having higher specs. Trying to make the gameplay as accessible as possible without making the game itself accessible in terms of price and specs seems retarded in hindsight.

theres nothing wrong with bashing your skull in with a hammer either (as long as theres no witness). guess someone ought to try it out aye?

crash bandicoot neo cortex fight: the dark ages

It could have worked if they had a clear vision and delivered on it

Accurate

still waiting for civvie11 take on the game

inb4 indian shill reeeee

only ytber i actually watch because hes not a sellout to ads and sponsorships and his videos has that spark of enthusiam of an autistic kid presenting his favorite toys

You seem upset.

bruh that gameplay is hella fire i wish i could hit clips like that

I find it crazy how people hated color coding in DmC but accept it anywhere else

Fucking over their Soundtrack guy for no good fucking reason was a good start.

I liked DOOM and Eternal but I think I've had enough Nu-DOOM for now. Supposedly it runs way worse too and from the videos I've seen, it looks like Eternal graphically, but worse because the levels seem more bland, there are more open empty areas, and it seems like there are a lot of dark, single-tone areas without any light sources which seems extra strange for a game with forced ray tracing. The colorful orb webms didn't help, definitely not what I was expecting out of the shield gameplay of the first reveal.
It's also more expensive. Eternal was $60, meaning I paid like $47 from key sites. This would be almost $60 even on key sites. And sorry to say, I have to go by dollars to hours these days. DOOM is always a short game. I had way less issue paying $40 for Microsoft's very own Oblivion release because I can put hundreds into it.
These are my opinions based on my observations. I might be misinterpreting shit or being a flat out retard, but I'm just telling you why I didn't buy it.

what the fuck are those buzzwords suppose to mean you damn office drone

return to form

it's just generic as fuck, generic rock music, generic 'gow at home' gameplay, so fucking boring i couldn't even watch it on stream, let alone playing it myself, devs are creatively bankrupt

It didn't add options. It added more shit that you have to do when and how the game directs you. It became an elaborate Simon Says in a Doom wrapper.

Nah. Wait for the next gen of gpus that will release alongside the next generation of consoles. Only upgrade now if you're desperately in need of playing graphically demanding games.
