Another sequel of something called “Revelations?” Doom has officially jumped the shark, hasn’t it?
Tbh I really liked Doom 2016, but couldn’t really play Eternal (I never got around to it because there were other games to play, and I didn’t want to just buy it full price), and Dark Ages looked fucking awesome.
I hope there will be a big bundle with all the games and all DLC at some point in the next couple years, because the DLC looked awesome.
2016 is the superior game of the three. If you only had to play only one of them, I think you wound up making the correct choice.
Eternal had some highly questionable gameplay design choices made about it and I have no idea what the fuck Dark Ages is supposed to be doing or what anyone thinks it’s got to do with Doom. It’s begging to have a new setting and IP made for it. And in fact I suspect (with zero evidence) that this was the original intent before some suits got involved and insisted on slapping the Doom trademark on it for the brand recognition, or whatever the hell.
But it’s Bethesda, and now they’re owned by goddamn Microslop of all people. So I’m not buying Dark Ages at any price, DLC or not, and not especially how they did Mick Gordon dirty the way they did during the development of Eternal, and et cetera and so on and so forth. Fuck 'em.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I can think of few stewards worse for Doom and it’s legacy than Bethesda and fucking Microslop.
classic doom is the best. and dark ages brings it back to that slower gameplay
The more Bethesda milks the DOOM franchise, the more it looks like Skyrim
What?
It started as a sci-fi shooter. DoomMarine was just a human left behind to guard a ship with a pistol and ends up fighting the hordes of hell with an array of modern and sci-fi weapons. The back story was essentially he got assigned there as a punishment for punching an officer who was ordering him to shoot civilians. He was a human, representing humanity in a fight against evil.
Now with all the changes they made The Doom Slayer is a demigod being wielding medieval and fantasy weapons in an armor made out of alien technology with an insanely convoluted backstory of him being the twin brother of the devil or some bs like that I just stopped caring at that point. He is completely dehumanized. The whole game looks more like a fantasy game in a medieval world of magic than a sci-fi shooter.
IMO the creators of Brutal Doom came up with a far better expansion of the Doom universe that stayed much more true to the source material.
