    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.
