    There’s a video on YouTube called “Doom The Dark Ages Story Explained” but it’s a Doom game.

    AAA gaming is dead. Indies have been carrying gaming for years now.

    Game is 70$ on Steam US and has a very positive review. That is still too much money unless this is a game you were really looking forward to.

    DOOM 16 was fantastic, but eternal felt gross. It was a huge step back from 2016, and didn’t feel fun. I’m not bothering with the newer games since they essentially are going off gimmicks.

    Not a big fan of the new Dooms, although I did like 2016. Nothing beats the ol’ Doom II (via source ports).

      It’s ironic that they attach third-party software to prevent piracy out of fear of losing sales, but in the end, it actually causes them to sell fewer copies. lol

    I just want id to do something else. Doom is fun and all but they’ve kinda perfected it.

    I’m one of the biggest fans of the DOOM franchise, I’ve played all the versions since the original one in 1993. But I don’t care if I play it now or in half a year. Or a year for that matter. Never really understood why having it first matters to anyone. I’ll be here when the prices drop.

    I was stupid enough to buy Spacemarine 2, when it came out, at full price (mostly because I loved Boltgun so much) and that was a great lesson about how you should wait around a bit before actually buying a game. It would have been a fun game for 15 or even 20 euro, but it’s not worth 70 euro. I Should have bought Helldivers, anyway 😓

      I regretted buying HellDivers. I honestly think that it becoming as popular as it did is a damning indictment of the state of coop shooters.

        I still haven’t bought it, played it at a friend for a while, and had a lot of fun 🤷

      I bought Space Marine 2 at launch, decided it needed more time. So I got Helldivers 2 which I immediately got addicted to and I love it.

      I’m on the same boat, I got 2016 around Eternal release date for like €10 and loved it. Then I bought Eternal just last year for a similar deal and I haven’t finished the DLC yet. I am more than happy to wait for DA to go on sale.

    Let’s see

    • The game itself takes away a lot of pieces of the formula that made 2016 and Eternal so good
    • $80 price tag
    • BDS boycott
    • Denuvo

    I’m shocked that it’s not selling, absolutely shocked.

    After Eternal, I’m not interested in this one. 2016 was fantastic, but Eternal felt all over the place. It tried to tell a story but skipped the entire second “book” between the two games, making it feel unfinished trilogy.

    Then there’s the difficulty, easy was too easy, and normal was too hard. I shouldn’t have to choose between surviving 10+ hits (easy) or dying in 3-4 (normal). That’s not balance. And I don’t have the time to ‘git gud’ when the difficulty jump is this extreme.

    Considering they already had to tweak difficulty in The Dark Ages, it looks like they’re still struggling to get the scaling right
