    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.

      Microsoft (and by extension id and Bethesda) are a priority target for the BDS boycotts against Israel

        Google says BDS stands for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (against Isreal.)

            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.
            4. It’s $80

              Her name was Billie, daughter of the original Billy Blaze.

              Luckily it was cancelled. Looks like the folks who played the original weren't keen on playing a slow mobile cashgrab.

              But the non-gameplay trailer was nice. https://youtu.be/BpneMd8xTFw

                They tried in 2019.https://youtu.be/Znd0kUXpdts https://youtu.be/BpneMd8xTFw

                For some reason they cancelled it after the gameplay trailer was released.

                    For me anyway, my loss of interest in the DOOM franchise began when they started dehumanizing the Doom Marine and started stacking fantasy/medieval elements to the main protagonist and his arsenal. They turned a futuristic space marine who just got punished for punching an officer into some sort of fantastic demigod thing. It got really bad in Doom Eternal already.

                    I like my DOOM games when it is a battle of sci-fi military forces against demonic forces. Human technology versus the hordes of hell. But now with Dark Ages Bethesda turned the franchise into a more violent and edgy Skyrim.

                      Since the company boyscotts BDS. I guess it means the company is pro Isreal.

                              The game is basically less Doom & more WH40K-ish.

                              You want a more Doom-like game ? Try SELACO eventhough it's early access, the 1st chapter is long & fun & guess what the devs told the anti-woke mob to fuck off & the devs are getting cancelled for it.

                              It's basically F.E.A.R+Classic Doom graphics (Uses the GZDoom engine)

                                      BDS is a global movement calling for boycotts, divestment and ultimately sanctions of Israel and companies complicit in Israels illegal occupation and other crimes against the Palestinian people.

                                      Microsoft provides AI tools to the Israeli army -IDF- which are used to automatically designate people as targets for bombing. Among other things a particular heinous AI is infamously named "Where's Daddy", where bombings are timed so that the target is killed upon arriving home, so their entire family is also murdered.

                                          I didn't even look at it enough to know if I'd buy it otherwise when I saw it has denuvo. Always online DRM is a hard pass for me. I haven't played the last 3 games Atlus released either and I've been playing almost every one since the ps2 era.
