Why did it flop? Eternal was good and this was just trash.
>>743322502Too much lore with nu-doom
Forced raytracing and too many gimmick sections
>eternal>good
Less enemy variety than eternal.No prowlers, marauders, gargoyles, carcass or doom hunters.
>>743322502Picsreel
>>743322502pick, mix, and choose:>parrying fucking sucks>tried to reinvent the wheel and failed miserably >took itself way too seriously>lore in a doom game in the first place>forgettable soundtrack
>>743322502>Filler mech and dragon sections>You're given a big weapon variety but most of the time you stick with 1 weapon because switching is so slow>Weapon groups make it so you can go Shotgun -> Rocket launcher -> Super shotgun, you have to switch to shotgun then swap it to super shotgun>They added lots of dialogue and retarded lore>Introduced too many supporting npcs like Thira, most people were semi interested in king novic but he got pushed aside for his retarded daughter no one cares about>Forced raytracing when the previous 2 games ran on low-mid hardware really wellI honestly dont mind the parrying and combat, but the weapon grouping and slow weapon switching really kills the flow, you have so many melee options but you'd need a ton of weapon binds to switch to the correct one you want in a particular situation that you just end up sticking with 1 or 2 the whole game.Now the DLC adds the spear with is just more shit to juggle.
>>743322929Also wanted to say this is the first doom game where I barely ever used the rocket launcher. Most projectiles, INCLUDING the rocket launcher all have a maximum distance and disappear when they reach it.Fucking retarded.
>>743322929*Weapon groups make it so you can't go Shotgun -> Rocket launcher -> Super shotgun
It went full Reddit with the lore.
>>743323210Even worse, they rewrote established lore. Doomguy was supposed to be sent to Mars as punishment for not carrying out the hospital order, now they changed that in this shit DLC.
Forced raytracing filtered me out of the game, eternal was very optimized and I didn't have to upgrade my PC for it, now dark ages comes out when everything is hyper expensively due to AI, and I have to upgrade because of a forced gimmick I don't even like, and looking at others opinions of the game it's not even that good. If it was as light as eternal i would have bought it, even it not being as good, but spending 10x the money to play it is asking for for much.
They turned the baron of hell, Cacodemon and Pain elemental into aliens because le epic Reddit Cthulhu cringe slop.
>>743323342They did a lot of dumb things but this is just completely wrong. Doom and Quake share settings and they just mixed Quake Cosmic Horror shit with Doom. I actually like the cosmic sections.
>>743322502The last good Doom was 3.>b-but muh 2016Lmao nope>b-but Doom 3 sucks!If you're a low IQ brown retard with zero attention span>Doom 1 and 2 are better than 3!Agreed. 3 is still great.
>>743323435They literally ruined their classic designs.
>>743322502Dark Ages is still good, just the weakest of the trilogy. It's like a 7.5. DLC was really fun.
>>743323910It really wasn’t good.
>pay $70 to beat in a week and "own" for years or decades>pay $12 to rent for a monthMost people chose option 2. There's a reason movies aren't available to rent for $4 until months after theater release.
>>743323547Oh yeah Doom 3 is so much fun. I love the part when the same 3 enemies spawn behind me every time I walk into another tiny, grey room and I blast them with my shotgun that has 2 feet of range. Get fucked millennial faggot.
>>743322502>Eternal was goodno, it really wasn't.
>>743322502Doom used to be about a space marine shooting guns at demons from Hell, and somehow over the course of the nu-Doom trilogy they ended up failing at every single one of those points.
Mick Gordon won.
>>743324667>The Jeet cries out as he shits
Because this series is literally about a badass going around killing demons with guns. But because guns are LE BAD and you can't put them in a video game, they removed the guns and you walk around with a shield like a little bitch
