Pedantic about something even experts argue about. Nice
Oh yes. My pedantry is nearly boundless.

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

Marty Stratton and his denuvo riddled pos game can kindly get fukt after what he did to Mick Gordon, the composer of the banger soundtrack for Doom 2016.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's $70
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.

I tell ya I se 70 bucks for a game when everything is small and you get no value for your dollar and everything costs more. No thanks.

It’s also the game they’re giving away with purchases of the 50 series Nvidia cards.

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.
Honestly I'd have been down for Doomguy turning into a literal demigod of demon murdering but I'd want his look to reflect it. Right now he's in this weird position where he's basically magic but they didn't want to get rid of his look.

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.
