And another plus is that you get to play the games as bug free as they‘ll get AND at higher framerates assuming your hardware improved in the meantime. I certainly wouldn‘t have been able to get the high fidelity DOOM 2016 experience I can get now (at a high framerate) way back when it released.

Downside is that if there‘s any multiplayer component to a game, it‘s probably pretty damn dead years later. But first, I personally don‘t care much about that anymore and second, games bleed the majority of their playerbase within months anyway so it‘s whatever.

Put the entire game on the disk/ 2 disks and I will buy.

Would have been the perfect doom game if they didnt make it so every bout of combat ended in a whimper. Even the mech fights dont end gloriously.

Anyone know what the budget was?
At 800k sold, that's roughly $56M, minus merchant fees, plus whatever they get for 2.2M players on Game Pass.

Definitely not bad, though I expect it'll take a while for them to recoup their budget.

Oh yes. My pedantry is nearly boundless.

Mostly this. I’m not paying for something that comes with malware. Not for $80, $20, or $1. Nobody should pay for malware.

Wow. I already wasn't going to buy any more Bethesda slop, but now I'm not going to buy it twice.

Bethesda ought to just let the Doom IP go and give it to someone who actually cares.

I will never give a single red cent to Bethesda ever again and I sure as hell ain't doing it for this. Whatever this is has no business claiming to be a Doom game. They probably would have had slightly better luck if they slapped the veneer of some other IP over it rather than Doom.

Holy fucking shit! I live under the rock in the middle of nowhere so I've heard only some brief parts of "something wrong with DOOM Eternal music" but nothing factual. Now I gave the time to read the whole article and I'm speechless. 'Cause this is bad, really, really, REALLY bad. I feel sorry for people that have to work and live under such assholes like Marty obviously is...

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 Eternal is a beautiful album that includes a lovely mini-game.

Edit: a lot of "wooshing" in the replies, but I blame it on myself.

You obviously haven't played it. The game is great and 100% worthy of the Doom name.

I would have bought it if it didn't have denuvo. I'll wait til its stripped out.

On GamePass though, isn't it? Only people actually buying would be on PS5 and the neversub gang.

Yeah no shit. My battlenet launcher wanted $100 for it.

Depends on your location in the world. Which shows just how arbitrary the price actually is.

I mean, it ain't bad, it's fun(I'm on mission 13-14), it's still a Doom game. But it's definitely the weakest of the last 3 games.

The Atlan is a cool concept but it's just slow combat, the dragon sections are okay I guess but not groundbreaking.. The overall combat itself is fun, but it's somehow less visceral than the other two games, glory kills are basically gone and you just do a melee attack most of the time... I honestly enjoyed Eternal much more, it's combat made you use the mechanics in a better way

In this economy? I'm sure its worth it but $70 is $70.

Doom Eternal? The game with a soundtrack that was made up of butchered parts of Gordon’s work, welded together by a novice, at the command of an egotistical dickhead who slandered Gordon after the fact?

Eternals original OST was very poor compared to Doom 2016. Big reason I never bothered with the game.

Yea, I read that a few weeks ago and it convinced to not touch Doom TDA. I mean, maybe pirate it, but certainly not buy it.
