Oh yeah, that happened

>>716308261 (OP)
it's uncracked, that's why nobody cares.

>>716308261 (OP)
I enjoyed it and had fun. It also showcases my 5070 card well. It's not groundbreaking like Eternal was, which is a shame. The fact that Eternal is still heatedly argued over on /v/ to this day is proof that it's a unique, polarizing FPS. Dark Ages is good though, just not amazing like Eternal.

>>716308261 (OP)
It lacks the OOMPH of Eternal and 2016, which Mick Gordon's sounds helped tremendously
The "STAND AND FIGHT" shit is utterly retarded, gimmicky, and makes the combat seem extremely formulaic (parry, melee/shoot, parry, melee/shoot and so on...) which is ironic considering they said they removed glory kills to make the combat more "freeflow"
Game is overall too easy, you never really feel threatened and on the verge of dying, every enemy dies way too fast, all weapons are broken op, sometimes you even forget that other weapons exist, it's all really meaningless
Levels are also all kinds of browns and yellows, often too dark where you can't see shit, even 2016's color palette was more interesting
Lastly the dragon/mech riding shit is a tacked on gimmick that kinda insults you intelligence
Lastly, the focus on story and sentinel characters was really awkward, the whole "Doomguy was le epic space-knight in the past!" was way cooler in 2016 and Eternal because it was just hinted at in cutscenes or codex
But in Dark Ages it just falls flat, and is uneventful at best

They listened to the vocal minority of fucktards who whined about Eternal for years, and overcorrected too hard, this is the result:
Middling and boring trash

>>716308261 (OP)
I still haven't got past the 4th mission after putting it down months ago.

>Adolescence: Doom Eternal | 120 FOV
>Adulthood: Doom The Dark Ages | 90 FOV

>>716309749
Yeah I mostly agree, although I wouldn't call it trash. It's a well polished FPS with fun mechanics. You can basically pick your favorite weapon and use it for the entire game, which is fun for the shitters who complained about weapon swapping in Eternal. The art design and atmosphere in the huge levels is great in my opinion. I loved the lovecraft and Hell dimensions. But yeah it's watered down compared to Eternal. This is why you never listen to the complaints of FPS shitters, you give them what they want and they still complain.

All of nu-Doom was a mistake.

>>716308261 (OP)
All of the templar LARP shit is cringe and they leaned too much into it
It's a space marine shooting demons, fuck off

>>716309404
Agree with all of this, and also the enemy roster was quite disappointing compared to Eternal
Fodder might as well not exist, you sneeze and they cease to exist

>>716308261 (OP)
Difficulty sliders for every setting is one of the biggest cop out I've ever seen in a game
They knew their game was boring trash with no rhyme or reason so they had to throw the "you can le customize everything! xD,, everyon can be le slayer! x)" card

It's actually over for Hugoslop.

if you made a doom 2016 or eternal right now it would get 100 replies in 20 minutes

Kill yourself

Also, reminder

Funny how third is always the turd.
Why bother reinventing the wheel when you already have a solid core?

>>716315717
>bait thread
Regardless, the assertion in the OP isn't wrong. There is simply not even 1/10th of the energy here for Dark Ages as there was and still is for Eternal. People just don't give a shit about Dark Ages, not even enough to shit on it. But you've still got all these people invested in nu-Doom for whatever reason just kind of pretending it's a great game with cool XYZ and it's just sad to watch because it's the same dozen copers.

The sad thing is if they had made a brand new franchise with the exact same mechanics, like maybe a fantasy game where you have a big shield, it might even have beeen a contender for game of the year. But alas they had to shove it in the least fitting series possible.

>>716309212
No, /v/ doesn't care because it doesn't run on their laptop or gtx 1650.

>>716309404
It's funny, THE DAY I knew this game was going to end up being shit was actually back when Hugo was doing his press tour for Eternal, and on one of the streams he started going off about "THIS Doomguy moves like a Cadillac, in the next one we want him to be more, I dunno, like a TANK!" You could almost tell he was grasping for anything at all to satisfy "Bring Something New To The Table"-Brain, and also it's gonna be some willful move to make Doomguy play more ponderous and slow?

So when the Dark Ages reveal happened and Doomguy was now this plodding, slow dipshit surrounded by braindead demons...yeah. 4 years in the making and they carried that terrible idea he snap-decided on some random stream, all the way to the finish line. Also

>and Eternal because it was just hinted at in cutscenes or codex
eternal fanboys have something in their brain i swear
eternal was literally THE game about this cancer, how is it different from dark ages

>>716321601
This. I still think it was marginally less retarded in Dark Ages than Eternal. Every scene of humans freaking out at how colossal Doomfaggot's penis is was just awful. Why does anyone want to make this? Who thinks this is unironically cool instead of tryhard and gay? It must be studied.

>>716315717
2 was fun but it had a Its moments of THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT

dumb take

>>716322689
The first several levels are always better than I think going into a replay, but the slog sets in for me with The Factory and stays that way with occasional exceptions until about Barrels o Fun. I always liked the city levels.

>>716308261 (OP)
bump

>>716308261 (OP)
combat loop gets old quickly. They probably listened to the playtesters and made the parries a joke

>>716321601
Eternal's story is absolute cancer and that is a bona-fide fact, but even Eternal didn't make Doom Guy into a supporting character for some girlboss in his own game.
