I never get these steam number threads
Isn't having at leas 20,000 people playing a single player game weekly a good thing?

Isn't Nu-Doom loved by PC players?

I'm a PC player, and I've never played Doom. Where'd you get this information?

In 2020, goypass had 10 million subs. That number has more than tripled since then.

Eternal had over 100k peak players.

Stop spamming these threads, everyone already told you the reasons.

Do we have pics of that?

BUT THE PLAYER COUUUUUNT
THE PLAAAAYEEEEEEEEERR CCCCCOOUUUUUUNNNNNTTTTT

It's my first time, tell me.
But is goypass even popular on PC?
Just go to steamdb dude.

You can use steamdb, but surely you arent so new you didnt see both ac shadows and veilguard curbstomp it, right? E33 was juat released a few weeks ago and has had constant threads about reaching 100k+ players every day.

Anon Babble has constant CCU threads

Anon Babble has constant box office threads

What is this obsession? It's pathetic. Who gives a shit? Do you like the game/movie is the important part, not whether culture at large is slurping the same slushie as you. Stop being fags

Don't worry, they're paying titty streamers to shill their game. I've also seen it bundled with 5090s.

Who gives a shit?

If you don't give a shit, then why did you reply to the thread? Can you even see yourself?

it's great if you're 2 man indie game made in your spare time
it's not as great if you're a big budget AAA game

Gamepass

Forced raytracing

Price

DEI game

forced raytracing

Damn, I didn't know about that. Performance seems really shitty, they were known for very optimized games. What a shame.

if high system requirements were filtering people than games like expedition 33 and mhw would've flopped

Expedition 33 seems decently optimized to me. Runs well on high on my 7 year old machine.

yeah with dlss on

we literally cannot run the game, it requires ray tracing and many do not have cards that can do this

blah blah 7 year old card

yeah, the GPU market today is much worse than a decade ago, upgrades are costlier and people have gotten used to not upgrading as there hasnt been a need to for a while

but my 1060 can't run the game!

yeah it can't run a lot of games but that doesn't stop other games from succeeding

it's mid and Eternal sucked. Plus $80. Get fucked

do you not get the concept of budget?

most PCjeets can't run it because it requires a raytracing capable GPU

everyone already coped

Yeah and you will continue to cope, that's the fun

All the shills are busy astroturfing expedition. It literally doesn't make sense that a FF knockoff from a no name studio with dogshit combat is outselling a decades old beloved franchise like Doom. Anyone who knows a single thing about business would know this is utter bullshit.
So I'd take these steam numbers with a grain of salt. It's possible the expedition studio paid off steam to push their shitty game instead of Doom.

So is this post supposed to be a joke or are you serious?

So you don't care about the health viability of a game so you can expect the possibility of more future sequels in the franchise? You don't think Microsoft doesn't care about the success of their games or have metrics of success they use internally? The failure of Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall prove that wrong. Them firing 7,000 employees even though they had a good quarter proves you wrong. A trillion dollar company with shareholders isn't going to eat the cost of one thing failing because they certainly aren't doing it for when they are succeeding.

Doom WADS are free.

What went so wrong?

Shit gameplay, shit performance, shit price.
Also shit story and setting same as 2016 and eternal, but you could put up with that in the other two games because they made up for it in other ways.

Usually the effects of a game entry isn't felt till it's sequel.
People liked Doom 2016 so they all bought Eternal, however Eternal left a bad taste in people's mouths and so no one felt like buying Dark Ages.
That's all.

$70 for $25 of value (generous)

Usually a good argument, but as someone that hasn't played any of the Nu-Dooms, I will say that Dark Ages looks especially reddit. This might be a game where the honest marketing that showed exactly what it was did it a huge disservice.

Anyone who knows a single thing about business would know this is utter bullshit

is this post supposed to be a joke

Why would it be a joke? Complete detachment from reality is a requirement to work in corporate nowadays.

Steamies cant run the game

I can run that Star Wars Outlaws (lol) demo on ultra and get 60fps, witj E33 I play with Ultra and a mix of high settings and I only get 45fps. What's up with that?

UE5 fuckery? Ubisoft might be trash but iirc their engine is still really good.

Waiting for it to be on sale.

total steamcharts poster death

To me it just looks like 2016 but with a shield.
So now you have the option to stand your ground when facing projectiles instead of always having to dodge. Am I wrong?

The game is below Expedition 33

This is an honest to God flop.

$80+ depending on whatever they felt like charging in your country to make up for gaypass.
My backlog is dangerously large and I see no need to fork out money for it, nor do I pay for gaypass.

expedition 33

Min GPU is Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB

That means it will run on anything.

Doom Flop ages - Graphics: NVIDIA or AMD hardware Raytracing-capable GPU with 8GB dedicated VRAM or better (examples: NVIDIA RTX 2060 SUPER or better, AMD RX 6600 or better)

That means it wont run on anything.
Hope that helps :)

This is embarrassing

running games below 60 fps instead of just upgrading

how poor do you have to be to do this?

It's possible the expedition studio paid off steam to push their shitty game instead of Doom

Lil bro is mad that organic hype is stronger than corpo faux hype

With 2016 you really just move around because the projectiles don't track you like a heat seeking missile

game goes in a different direction

not everyone vibes with it

many such cases
not even new for doom

Best crashout I've seen here

I have a 1080 and it runs the games I want to play just fine.
I do not see the point in upgrading in the current market, and nothing worth upgrading for has even come out yet.
Quite frankly the 1080 I have is already overkill for the majority of the games I play.

im not going to upgrade because there is no game that needs it

im not going to play that game because it needs me to upgrade

poorfag cope, these 2 things contradict each other

im not going to play that game because it needs me to upgrade

Thats not why I am not buying it. Its not worth $70 no matter how hard you cope it is.
The only game I intend to upgrade for is CP Orion, which is easily 5 years off.
Until then nothing is going to come out that I genuinely want to play there and then.

Sneed Makyr lol

No multiplayer modes

No DLC planned yet

Why would I buy it now?

You can either pay 10 bucks to beat it or 70. Unless you plan on replaying it there is no point in buying it

wanting tacked on multiplayer and DLC

this is nu-Anon Babble.

organic hype

LMAO

Too expensive

Denuvo

Id rather play boomer shooters anyway

Currently Im enjoying Prodeus which i got for 1$

Denuvo bugged and cut them off.

Gamepass just killing steam, is all.

80 eurollars

No Covid

2016 and Eternal were slop and so is this.
Good riddance

You are a total headcase. No one has given a shit about this doom game since it was announced.

I'm busy with another parryslop game and I don't look forward to do it at all in a Doom game of all things. Doom is one of the only FPS series I like and I like it because I get to shoot stuff, taking a break from the hack and slash action games full of parries I usually spend my time with.
So Doom becoming bad parry slop is the worst thing that could have happened
Besides why play games on launch anymore, they'll keep improving the game anyway so I can just wait. It took so long for Eternal to stop receiving updates

What would Carmack think of dark ages?

"Thank fuck I got out in time and made mad bank"

Terrible optimization

Gameplay systems are basic

Bad HUD

Lacks immersion

I'll be playing Frogger instead

man, i wish he was still alive

Playing doom with a controller

GRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAH YOU FUCKING WIG WEARING STREAMER WHORE

It's not about being able to launch it. It's about the performance. I have an raytracing capable card but I'm not going to play it because I refuse to play a game below 144 fps. This is a fast paced shooter for crying out loud, and because of the goytracing requirement there doesn't even exist a card capable of running this shit at 144 fps. RTX is a fucking meme that needs to die. The only reason they made it mandatory is because they got a huge kickback for it from jewvidia.

he'd definitely like the raytracing. He talked about and was toying with raytracing even back when he was still at Id

For me personally, before this week when it came out, the last time I recall seeing or hearing ANYTHING about this game was some reveal trailer at a convention where Doom Guy shoves a skull into a grinder and the fragments get shot out like a machine gun.

Busy playing Clair Obscur. It will still be there when I'm done.

Anon Babble complains about games being woke for years

game about being a masculine demon-slaying warrior with no woke content comes out

Anon Babble shits on it and doesn't play it

It's a month since release, it's a fairly short RPG, how is it still so high in sales

Why the fuck is Fantasy Life so popular and what the fuck is it

I am not getting involved in political shit but the difficulty customization honestly just turned me off from it. Makes me feel like the developers didn't care about making a tightly crafted experience with finely tuned balance and challenge. Just change whatever you want bro.

What dooms REALLY want is cutshitene parryslop

It's fun.

Some sort of anime animal crossing stardew valley thing I've heard.

players dont want parryslop

they dont want meleeslop

they dont want cutsceneslop

they dont want sliderslop

they dont want loreslop

they dont want to STAND AND FIGHT

What the FUCK do YOU want?

I want classic Doom but with better graphics

We want incestkino.

Run around and shoot something so many times it has as many halls as a Swiss cheese. And I want to do that with a weapon of my choice.

I pirated it like all my games but giftedered a copy to my best friend for his birthday.

They completely ruined this game just 2 patches in. Is there a launch argument I can use to get rid of this shit?

file.png - 724x346, 38.06K

game just didn't make me interested purely based on visuals and seemingly doubling down on the damage/weapon type mix and match gimmick they already did well but to its enjoyable limit in Eternal.

the gross american fantasyslop aesthetic is just one strike too much, I'll get it on a sale somewhere.
If I wanted to look at something that looks like a cringe parody of blizzard designs (which are already cringe) I'd just play demon's souls remake

I want classic doom with gun autism, better visuals and bigger well designed levels.

Bethesda Doom is trash

doom a game about running and gunning

chapter 3 you are put into a mech and have to punch

Why are devs so scared to let players play the main mechanical of the game for most/all of the game? It feels like they are trying to distract you from the normal gameplay with these moments are supposed to be cool, but they are always boring. If you can't entertain the player with the main gameplay that captured a generation and made it popular in the first place, don't make the game.

Minecraft+Animal Crossing

If you're on the GamePass version, it's fixed by creating a shortcut to the executable (DOOMTheDarkAges.exe) and lunching the game from there.

people aren't buying a known series for 70 bucks

xbox and other publishers expect they'll buy games for 80 bucks

BRAVO PHIL, FUCKING BRAVO

I'm on the Steam version, but it's fixed by just changing a few values in the config.

what's his name?

remember when doom was about portal to hell on mars

86 bucks here.

I loved Eternal and I'm not buying Dark Ages because the entire game goes against what they've established in Eternal
Eternal let you fling yourself with SSG/Ballista, picking enemies apart by shooting their specific weakpoints felt rewarding, and while the glory kills dragged the pace of the game, they had the merit of looking funny and being varied
Dark Ages has no mobility, every enemy fires projectiles at range and does melee up close, which you all just parry in the same way for every enemy, the arenas are just flat places with obstacles, enemies no longer have weak points, weapons no longer have secondary fire modes
Even when you compare it to 2016 it looks more barebones

Plus who gives a shit about the lore

I think eternal was a rare case where a well liked game didn't translate to desire for a sequel. it felt like the 2016 formula had been pushed to the limit both in terms of gameplay and aesthetic, the story to the extent it matters was wrapped up.
me personally it's very close to how I felt about donkey kong tropical freeze, reasonably enjoyed that game but I absolutely did not need a third entry.

The real test will be seeing how things go for Nintendo.
Will they be able to convince people to pay $80+ for Mario Kart?

Enemies do still have weak points, but they're not as obvious and don't really affect gameplay much. You can shoot the arms off a Mancubus.

>I never get these steam number threads

it's mostly Anon Babbleitter rejects who only care about NUMBERS instead of gameplay
the gameplay in TDA is shit, but nobody here has played it so all they can do is talk numbers

we are never getting another straight forward level based game outside of indies, not in any genre that isn't a throwback platformer,. it's just not something devs do any more.

Yeah the lesson here is that people are now more responsive than ever to sensubke prices.

E33? Oblivion? Does well.
80 buck Doom? Fuck off.

How much was oblivion jeetmake?

50 buckaroos.

There it is

Because everyone knows that ZOOM Eternal was pure hopslop propped up by the media

PEOPLE WANT TO SHOOT GUNS

NOT PARRY AND MELEE
HOW IS THIS SO HARD TO GET

What the fuck went SO wrong?

be devs

see rollslop+parryslop selling that much

LET'S ADD PARRY

I'm more amazed the game doesn't have rolling, bonfires and bad red man invasions.

previous villains become unlikely allies to help protag confront a traitor

Kino

Mods still don't ban frogs and wojaks is what went wrong.

Just beat it, I found it more fun than eternal, i greatly look forward to the DLC, most people on PC just played it on xbox game pass for like a dollar or 15 bucks.
In eternal i sorta sighed when i saw a big arena up next because of the amount of work you have to put in, but with TDA i looked forward to big arenas and actually hoped they went on for longer with how fun the killing became
even though the story in these games are known to be lacking, i look forward with how the DLC ties into 2016, how he gets trapped in a tomb

weapons no longer have secondary fire modes

really? i thought the secondary fire modes were neat, thats unfortunate

secondary modes sorta still exist, but it comes in the form of an alternate weapon that you can swap in-between one another, each weapon has an alternate except for your chain ball gun and your ultimate gun

They replaced secondary fires with second weapons for each class.

Honestly not a problem for Xbox because they have gamepass. $80 games means more people moving to gamepass and more people buying the games on discount over time. Overall they'll earn more money from every avenue.

You seem to forget that there's a huge chunk of the market that they flat out can't access on gamepass.
Namely, China.
Eventually they will plateau, and when the growth is no longer infinite, that's when shit hits the fan.

Ban steam charts threads

It's the MMO crafter experience as a PVE game. Chop trees, mine ore, craft gear, forge weapons, make potions and food ect.

1% low

retard

the game looked boring as hell

PARRYSLOPPERS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT
PARRYSLOPPERS HAVING A MIGHTY GOOD TIME

ban important information for determining the success of a game

publisher hands typed that message

So...Minecraft?

I can't play it on a 1080. I would have gladly paid the game's price if it wasn't attached to a $300+ purchase.

but thats not all. its targeted at women. and successfully so. its a lol lmao rpg game where there is no world ending threat and you can choose any job class, including fishing or farming or sewing or dungeon clearing (if you're a nerd). and each job class has a shit ton of gameplay dedicated to it. women love it.

Buying games on release in 2025

just because you got all the achievements does not mean you 100% the game.

Holy based

Charge $70

Charge $100 for early access period

most people don't want to pay $70 for a 10 hour campaign, they especially don't want to pay $100.

Streamerfags buy the premium for the early start

stream the whole game

kill the entire hype

anyone still interested either gamepass'd it or is just waiting for a sale.

Also a lot of people are probably put off by the system requirements

voiced by Debra Wilson

im tired of parrying being in every video game every now

The success of a sequel depends a lot on how well the previous entry was received. Eternal was pretty widely disliked for it's cartoonish appearance, limited gameplay options, and the inclusion of the marauder.

So Stardew Valley

stardew valley has an organic gameplay system.
this is just a minigame collection.
a very deep minigame collection.

widely disliked

by scrubs who got filtered yeah

Pretty much the best word of mouth marketing you can get. The "make most of your money in the first week" thing is mostly only for hyped releases with massive marketing budgets.

This. I love Doom 3 but I couldn’t beat it

I'll buy this dogshit game on G2A when it's cheaper; I'd rather give my money to a gook seller than to jewthesda or Hugo.

single-player boomer shooter

This game was never doing Space Marine 2 or Marvel Rivals numbers, and I do not understand why people are acting like that's a big upset or surprise. These are very niche games.

buying a game without denuvo

this is like throwing your money in the garbage

Honestly not a problem for Xbox because they have gamepass.

Overall they'll earn more money from every avenue.

The amount of people who replay things to the extend that they are going to buy them a 2nd time is small.
People paying $15 instead of $80 is only sustainable if they get 4 idiots sign up who wouldn't have spent anything for everybody who uses gamepass in a thrifty way.

Who at Bethesda hates Quake? It doesn't even have a merch section on their store, only Quakecon

i like it

It's a:
bad game
with bad ideas
with bad performance
released at the point in time when people are the poorest

nuDoom is gay

Eternal and Dark Ages are. 2016 was a much meaner, unironically edgy game, and it worked a lot better.

I am not paying 70 bucks now for what will be less than half of the initial price within a year.

If the game demands more than PS4 level hardware to run on PC, it will always be met with this same reception. That is until the 3070 TI and beyond can be picked up for $200-$350 maximum. Then they need to remember CPU is also important so 7000 series Ryzen chips at $99 maximum. In other words, you're going to see constant seething here when the Xbox Prime and PS6 come out.

2016 already had all the gay things of the later games, they just didn't go all in yet. The seeds of decay were already sown

This is true, I dropped the 2016 game when I realized I have to do gay finishers for no reason just to reload my gun.

People were so hyped back in the day because this trailer threw nostalgic shit right in your face. the archvile and arachnotrons were back, the classic Doomguy skin was there, and some other new shit too and I fell for it. I think that's why it sold so well mostly because of the nostalgia factor.

Then I felt so disappointed by how fucking terrible the story was compared to '16 and how broken the game turned out to be... I expect nothing from the Slop Ages. it doesn't even play like a fucking Doom game anymore.

tendies are absolute retards and they will put with with quite literally anything Nintendo throws at them

Because it's the easiest way to bait retards and because it works so well, it's never going away

muh gamepass!

Oblivion Remake was shadow dropped and was day 1 gamepass and it had 150,000 concurrent

There's 168 threads and you picked that one. Answers your question?

The game is good but the problem it's lacking features while also being more expensive and hard requiring modern GPUs.
Doom 2016 had a campaign, multiplayer and snapmaps.
Doom Eternal had a campaign, multiplayer, master levels and had a horde mode added post launch.
Doom TDA only has the campaign. No multiplayer, no additional modes whatsoever and no roadmap for additional content outside of the year 1 dlc. Yet despite having less features it costs way more than the other two games did?

why is it that HP lovecraft's cat is the goto to save people from going insane? From looking at incomprehensible horrors beyond the human mind?

Go woke...

What the FUCK do YOU want?

I want Doom = fast paced action based around skill with no story for roaming freedom. It should be easy but NuDoom can't get something this simple right

Will they be able to convince people to pay $80+ for Mario Kart?

With ease, Nintendo retains its quality standars for their gameplay. MKWorld looks fun already

daily doom humilation

Runs on shit potato hardware

$50 not $70

Oblivion namesake (nostalgia boosted)

Shadow dropped so no chance of getting picked apart before hand

Might want to upgrade your CPU and RAM if you want better 1% lows.

Shadowdrpping was the key.

id doubled down on the zoomer demographic, forgetting they can't legally play the game yet.
