      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.

      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.

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

                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.

                      Seeing how they screwed over Mick Gordon, the composer for the previous two installments, I'll vote with my wallet and skip this one. My backlog is big enough as it is anyway.

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

                          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.

                                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?

                                      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.
