Why is Anon Babble hoping it fails?

It's better than Eternal but still doesn't top 2016. Made from scratch, full on multiplayer, custom levels, badass credits and just a boring as black screen with words.

singleplayer always online game

70 dollars with less content than the previous two games that only takes about 15 hours to finish

PC version requires raytracing and won't run without a raytracing cappable card

console physical version isn't even on the disc, the game is 85GB, the disc can hold 100GB so it would fit, the actual data on disc? 85MB YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY

insultingly easy compared to previous doom games

only 31k player peak on steam on it's launch weekend

It's already flopped, the price being the biggest problem for it.

its not doom /thread

This stratton fangame is super weird lol

The cynic levels on v have been exceptionally high lately. Its annoying.

I ACTUALLY played and beat the game and am going through now and replaying it with modified difficulty. Basic take aways.

Its simpler than doom eternal. Demons dont have specific weaknesses and weapons don't have specific use cases. You can use whatever to kill whatever. So its less of a thinky shooter and more just shooter with some timing for the parries. But only if you make the the window as small as possible otherwise the parrying is too easy to be fun. You NEED to mess with the difficulty. Normal is way too easy and hard isnt quite right. Figure out what feels satisfying and youll have a better time. Its really gay you have to do this and they couldn't just make it balanced but at least theres a way to fix it.

You DO move a shit faster than in Eternal. Where in Eternal you move quick in short spaces with dash, here you move fast here across the entire play space with the sprint. So thats better for sure. The sheild rules and going back to eternal i miss it. You feel much more powerful in dark ages so thats pretty fun. Art is subjective but i think dark ages looks cooler.
The mech stages are pretty mediocre. Kinda fun but not as fun so ill probably never replay them. Dragon stages are neat when you fly from encounter to encounter. But dragon combat is also mediocre and i dont really like it. Feels mini game teir. Story is irrelevant because you can just skip the cutscenes in half a second so you can essentially ignore it and not miss anything except why you are where you are.
The mini bosses are really fun. I like that a lot. Music isnt as distinct as eternal like everyone says. But it fits the game and its FINE.

Its better than external in some ways, but eternal is better in others. Its not bad by any means. Its great but not the greatest ever. Play it if you like fps games.

There's still advantages to using certain weapons vs certain demons, but not putting you at a huge disadvantage, which is how it should be.
For example mancubus is dangerous up close, so a super shotgun is not ideal, but they're also barely mobile, and also often armored, so a rocket launcher is a good choice.
Revenant and the new witch enemy are in the air and move around a lot so slow projectiles like the explosive guns and ball and chain are less ideal.
Cyberdemons and barons require you to constantly parry, so using an upgrade or build that activates on parry is a good idea.

I also like how they made boss versions of most demons, and the unique bosses were also pretty solid.

Literally everybody wanted 2016’s tone combined with Eternal’s gameplay but without the gun autism

Those mecha and dragon fights? Literal dodging mini-games. What a way to make a cool idea just not fun.

Yeah, i guess youre right. But i feel like with lots of encounters i can get by using one or two guns. Relying on parrying and the sheild to stun enemies so i can get around them moving or blocking me from getting close.

Eternals gameplay was entirely "gun autism" remove that and its not eternal anymore.

I think this really is the most blatant case of TORtanic that I've seen in awhile. There is literally nothing about this game that warrants such dooming and yet people do so because they're addicted to it.

We're dooming over on-rails shooting sections and brawling minigames, shit that is in a ton of FPS games since the PS1.

Anon Babble is full of zoomers that only play fotm garbage and multiplayer only slop

Rather than making weapons having strong advantages over enemies, I'd rather ammo just be more limited. Make melee give you far fewer amo and rely more and having to cycle through weapons and collect them in the environment. Half the reason to melee is just so you can continue using the weapon you want to use.

I hope for another reboot or soft reboot after this one. The games are great but I feel like they've done everything they could with this style of Doom. I wouldn't mind going back to a more semi-survival style gameplay with finite resources like the original games, and step away from the big arena battles.

The dragon and mech sections are really basic, but they only take up maybe 5% of your total playtime. It's not a big deal. That said the amount of people who bought this game is concerning, this game is doing way worse than Eternal.

Eternal was like DMC and Ninja gaiden and took inspiration from them as action games. Not surprising considered that dmc5 was the popular action game at the time.
Dark age is more like Nu god of war, even down to block/parry mechanic and weapon throwing. Nu- god of war is the current popular action game that people flock over.
It's just depend on what you like better

the webm that killed nu-Doom

kys

It went a little far in some places

This isn't a DOOM game.

Did you not see Doomguy’s replacement and her black boyfriend op? I sincerely hope anything from Bethesda, Bungie, Activision, Square, Ubi, Sony, MS all fucking fail.

You feel much more powerful in dark ages so thats pretty fun.

genuinely don't know how people can think this
in eternal and 2016 you just bulldoze everything in front of you. in dark ages you constantly have to stop to cower behind a shield.

You can parry any projectile, parrying green ones generates melee charges and invokes your equipped shield rune, depending on the type of attack

shit that is in a ton of FPS games since the PS1

And Doom 2016 was supposed to be a way of showing that a shooter doesn't need that shit. They cut off the fat only to pile it back on within a couple games

black boyfriend

Valen is the betrayer

I didn’t play it or give a shit. My point still stands, I am only willing to support none woke developers.

I know a bunch of shit in this game is teasing a return of Quake, but I hope they make a new Hexen instead, a class based single player FPS would be fun to play.

Fuck you, this game is mediocre as hell. If you have even the smallest amount of taste in shooters an on-rails shooting section is one of the most offensive things you can do because they've always been fucking awful

?

she just held the demons in place with her hentai tentacles for the real warriors

We're dooming over on-rails shooting sections and brawling minigames

Yeah? No one fucking likes those. A decade ago even before TORtanic shit, journalists that weren't sucking mad cock and the general internet were sick and goddamn tired of turret sections and shitty gameplay gimmick sequences that existed to pad out time for variety's sake without actually being worth the time wasted.

They have already made two whole ass games prior to this without them, and now they're diving right back into the Call of Doom tropes that they were trying to avoid with 2016 in the first place. Doom's been copycatted so much because it revived the boomer shooter genre that it's going right back into modern shooter trends with a plate of Souls on the side.

Yeah, how dare developers remind me that not-mes exist. Why won't everyone just be meeeeeeeeeee?

new demon showed up how do I de-

Parry green with shield

mob swarm showed up which weap-

Throw DOOM shield to kill them

I see a secret I need to figure out how

Theres a green thing you use the shield on

Okay cutscenes ended and the fifth phase of the boss started now I-

You parry with the shield then do the qtes

What a strong female! Hopefully they replace Doomguy with her!

Anon Babble hates it because they got filtered. It's a much harder game than Eternal, by around the halfway point it demands way more of you than that piece of shit game ever did while simultaneously giving you actual freedom and options on how to deal with it. It's not """parryslop""", it's literally Doom: Returnal and throws you in the middle of a bullet hell.

but i can use the ssg the whole game... the freedom... it's so refreshing!!

puts a superheavy that you will parry punch punch shoot parry in front of you

your freedom and options, sire...

Even though they just make white characters and give them shit colored skin. That’s not real diversity and only put into games for people that don’t play them in the first place.

Anon Babble hates it because they got filtered

Are you high? One of the biggest complaints is that it's too easy. lol

Half of Anon Babble is too poor to run it on their third world toasters, the other half are braindead Eternaltrannies that are mad because this game is too hard for them.

Whats the justification for this? Piracy?

Hit the mail on the head.

full on multiplayer

why do you people love shilling shit no one cared about at the time it was out? Mp was giga dead and no one played it in 2016

mecha fights

I don't want it in Doom. I didn't want it in FEAR, why would I want it in Doom.

literal dragon fights

I don't want it in Doom.

machine gun fights

As opposed to what. No gun fights? I can get it in borderline every game ever made, even WW1 games because devs are afraid the lack of dakka will hurt sales.

baller metal music

Tepid

fast paced action

Not in Doom Dark Ages

get to choose your routes

Stop playing shooters made after 5th gen consoles

compelling story

I couldn't care less in Doom. Fuck off back to Doom 3 if you want that so much.

hoping

I don't give a shit about nu Doom. I'm here to laugh at you.

They're not FPS players, they're soulslop tourists - that's how.

>compelling story

bait.

Pretty sure there is a mechanic that lowers enemy aggression and damage to zero if you get to low health, at least on normal. I've not died a single time but I have come close many cause I was fucking around.

What do the blue ones do then?

hoping

It already failed.

2010: how dare developers not have black characters

2025: how dare players ask for white characters

white characters and give them shit colored skin

As opposed to characters that "act black"? You really want that?

we're dooming on something that hss been heavily criticized since at least the 7th gen but its okay because they've been doing it since the PS1 was around

We should celebrate regression.

No one cared about coach or cole train. What is the point of forcing diversity into your games for esg bux if you’re just going to make them white?

You can change the projectile colour

I simply don't care about it.

90€

LOL

No one cared about coach or cole train

Yeah cause those games came out before 2016

Before the woke:

Each game franchise has its own identity, originality, purpose, mechanics...

Anon Babble related (for contrast): every nation has its own identity, culture, tradition, language, habits, values...

During (now) the woke:

Let's include the "transgender" concept for the gaming industry as well

now every game wants to be everything at the same time

Anon Babble related: we are all equal, diversity is our strength, multiple genders, multiculturalism

The brain rot virus spreads to everything

Now, fuck off and kys

coach or cole train

You're not going to get them in a new game released today, you're going to get the uppity black lady from the bmv whos going to lecture you on your white privilege.

I don't want black characters

>would you prefer double black characters?

I'm confused.

"hoping it fails"

It already flopped lil gup

doom has an identity and it definitely wasn't this shit

Play Boltgun.
