    Forcing raytracing is a great way to close off a bunch of customers.

        Not sure about hardcore Doom fans but the game looks uninteresting to me specifically. It's like a polar opposite from Doom 2016 judging by all the videos I've seen. Don't really care about the higher price, I'd get it if I liked it but it really doesn't click for me.

        Ive really not cared about the direction the story has been taking, and im not a huge fan of the newer atmosphere. 2016 felt like it still had horror elements, the demons felt dangerous and doomguy, while incredibly strong, still felt like vulnerable, especially with the custom death scenes. Now he has like this god aura around him, which is cool i guess, but him battling for survival will always be cooler to me than him being like a living god. Also the zero third person cutscenes will always be superior to me, even though i understand why others may not like it.

              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.

                1. It’s $80
                2. It’s on Gamespass, where I assume a lot of doom fans who might have otherwise purchased are likely to be.
                3. It’s shouldered up against Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remake, both over $20 cheaper and highly acclaimed.

                    I'm avoiding it because it just doesn't look that fun. I played the last 2 new dooms and they were good, for console shooters. More PC gamers should have higher standards than this. I don't want a dumb story about medieval times, collecting dolls, linear maps, cyberdragon mounts, running from arena to arena and then starting repetitive wave fights. Just make a good shooter please!

                      Denuvo is the only reason I'm waiting. I'm on Linux, and I'm not risking that Proton change license issue. And also I hate the performance hit that Denuvo causes.

                          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?

                          https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce

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

                          Just for the record, the in game OST was properly done by MG and was great. It was the Official OST album that was taking bits from that OST to make full songs that were very sub-par. The music MG was making is very dynamic in game, and each level had multiple musical phrases that start and stop dynamically during gameplay (this isn't unique to doom of course, lots of games do this.) in game the music is some of his best work imo, and really brings the gameplay to another level.

                          Some people have released better mixes of the songs taken and edited from those music clips in the game files to make better mixes than the Official OST album.

                                  I watched a few levels of it. This game has already been made. It's called Painkiller and I beat it 20 years ago.

                                    Denuvo's DRM instead of anti-cheat.

                                    Though I also was wondering the same thing. Took me a minute to remember lmao.

                                      Not just because some people don't have it either, but for anything with RTX2000/3000 and RDNA2, Forced RT is just forced low framerate.

                                      I hope making everyone dynamically draw the lights and shadows in realtime for a linear game was worth the 15c it saved on Microsoft's electricity bill for not pre-baking overnight.

                                        Not in Australia, it's $120 here.

                                        Todd, Marty, Phil and Satya can suck an egg together.

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