Doom Dark ages reviews

https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/doom-the-dark-ages-review/1900-6418361/

Game getting excellent reviews as expected.

meaning all 3 modern Doom games being Excellent titles. plus different from each other unlike other games.

Can’t wait to play it.

Locked and loaded!! :D

These Doom games. since last decade have been one of the best thing ever happen to gaming industry man.

show how to do AAA modern shooters and AAA modern games without ruining anything. its very rare.

84 MC, so not as good as previous entries.

I thought singleplayer FPS were dead, glad to see they're alive and well

@SolidGame_basic: Prolly cuz Mick Gordon isn't doing the soundtrack this time.

@ghosts4ever: I posted the vids review on the other thread. Why make this one?

Well whatever, anyway, I'll just post them here I guess:

And PC benchmark GPU review:

But yes, I'm really hyped to play Dark Ages next week!!! Gonna max the hell out of my gaming PC for this😎

I still love Mick's BFG Division soundtrack. Pisses me off Marty Stratton massive ego got to him and the reason he treated Mick Gordon so badly.

nope. Half life 3 is coming very soon. so they are alive. or came back.

modern Doom games saved SP FPS genre in last 10 years.

It's looking quite nice. The shield mechanic seems to be a fantastic addition. I'm looking forward to trying it myself.

Another Xbox studios banger following on from bangers like Indiana jones,South of midnight,Avowed and Oblivion.

Looks and sounds great. Really looking forward to playing it next week.

I don't think I will like it as much as Eternal based on the reviews, but it should still be a good time.

Can't wait.. 😎👍

Still playing Oblivion Remaster but gonna put it on hold for Doom: The Dark Ages.. after Doom, i'll finally dive into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 before returning to Oblivion..

Not to mention still gotta finish Avowed and South of Midnight.. definitely been a stacked year so far; almost too much stuff to play.. 🎮

Pass for now. Seems pretty good, but the titan and dragon parts look really lame. That means it's gonna be annoying to play more than once, which means it's a one and done game, which means it's not worth full price.

Meh. No interest in doom 10

id tech still absolute incredible.

still no performance issues.

New Halo needed to run on this engine.

history's first 11/10 Xbox taxed to a 80-89 MC score but whatever I'm there day one baby 🤘🤪🤘

I would argue that there is just not much FPS than the notion of single player FPS being dead.

What are these "other games" you are referring to?

look at battlefield and COD. exact same since 25 years. no evolution, nothing.

Borderlands, not Doom.
Waste of time.

@ghosts4ever: I don't think it's healthy to compare Call of Duty to D00M.

Call of Duty is the junk food of FPS gaming. A fix for addicts to get a little more Warfare cross-over goodness.

Whether as D00M, is Eternal

*Then you have Battlefield. That somehow still exists I guess.

it need to be 2d indie mobile game to like

Modern Doom games in last 10 years save gaming.

Game Pass be like:

And that value, OMfnG that value:

And cows want all our games they just would never want an Xbox in a million years because it got no games.

But now Xbox games going to PS consoles now gotta be a lot of inner turmoil for die hard cows like "if it's wrong then why does it feel so right?!"

But damn now they gotta weigh paying full price because they never gonna get Game Pass and MS release way too much too quick and now rhey upping prices but only cows seem to care the most... can't put a price on your pride.

I gotta say though part of me wonders if MS ever plans to just give everyone a taste of what they're missing before pulling things back, start staggering releases to other platforms or maybe keeping things console exclusive again. Perhaps it's too economically beneficial to consider, but if they ever did, the results would be amusing.

An 84 seems a bit disappointing considering how good Eternal was.

Still really want to play this game though. But boycott takes priority.

@Pedro: hero shooters, extraction shooters and battle royale seem a dime a dozen.

Not sure what it was about PUBG/Fortnite and Overwatch that inspired so many devs to be like "what if we made this same game but not as good, surely it'll blow up as well!"

Extraction Shooters are weird. There are so many of them and yet they all seem niche. I think Tarkov/Hunt Showdown are probably the biggest ones (unless I'm forgetting something) but they don't seem that popular outside of a small hardcore audience.

I guess Helldivers is a extraction shooter without the PvP elements and it was probably the most successful one. and yet we are getting a high profile one from Bungie as well as Arc Raiders that are both sticking with the PvP stuff. personally, I don't really like the PvP aspect that much in these games. It just feels like you end up getting ganked a lot from squads who are there just for PvP, which makes it hard to enjoy the PvE stuff.

Then without the PvP, the games tend to feel a bit bland, since they are relying on that aspect to add excitement. Rounds where you extract without any PvP feel anit-climactic.

I find it interesting that Call of Duty tried adding a extraction mode DMZ, but they didn't stick with it. that feels like it should be a big red flag for other devs making extraction shooters.

It's the third game in the series reboot. Good game, but it is starting to feel really "samey"

I liked Doom 2016 but I could not get into Doom Eternal.....I kinda feel the same way with this.

But FPS story shooters aren't really my thing

@lamprey263: The xbox tax excuse doesn't work anymore

Indiana Jones and Oblivion Remaster proves this.......It's like mediocre games must actually be mediocre and get scores that reflect that. *Starfield, cough cough*

Funny you say that because I remember COJ The Cartel seeing COD and going: we can make this, but not good.

And yeah Helldivers feels like a good cross between an extraction shooter and left 4 dead.

Because I swear you can spend a whole match, not collect a single sample or credit, and have an amazing time.

The PVP aspect is also what bugs me in Marathon, or maybe it's PVP combined with extraction. I'd play Marathon if it was a simple CTF or TDM game... I dunno, I like the style, I like the shooting, I just don't like the blandness/soullessness of Marathon. It doesn't do anything for me, as opposed to games like Battlefield or Red Orchestra where you play a role (a cog in a wheel) and that does everything for me.

But yeah helldivers still is great, it has style, it has funk.

Another aspect of FPS that remains is the hardcore FPS: stuff like Arma Reforger, Squad, HLL or even Ready or Not or Fallujah, those games are still around too.

Pure linear scripted FPS is dead though, was friggin' huge in the early naughties.

I've loved Doom since 2016. So I'm really looking forward to this.

🫢🤭😅😂🤣

Same, 2016 felt like slapping D00M and Quake together with some needed modifications. As a fan of D00M and Quake it was a match made in heaven on release. 2016 is a great game.

Eternal felt like first person Devil May Cry. & even as someone who loves the DMC series, I don't play D00M for DMC. So Eternal just felt like a game trying to be something it's not. Not to mention the tone shift in Eternal was really cringe and off-putting.

That's why I'm glad games like Dusk exist. if id Software doesn't want to follow-up what they did, talented Indies will.

How many FPS Hero Shooters, extraction shooters and battle royale are being released?

Looking forward to giving this a go on Sunday with early access.

>START: /metal music

>INITIATE: /DEMON SLAY-AGE

8 is a good score , but it seems they left out cheats (Doom Eternal cheats) this time which made replability very much fun ( Floppy Discs collectibles Invulnerability , Infinite Ammo ETC ). Can anyone confirm this?

@Pedro: over on steam way more than traditional FPS, that's for sure.

@Stevo_the_gamer: you finished with Oblivion?

I'm doing all the guild quests right now. Steady progress

Negative, still ongoing on both PC and Xbox gamepass. For some reason, I just got sucked backed into the Mass Effect legendary edition on PC.

Good, been meaning to replay those games as well. Wanted to check how they look in ultrawide and HDR.

Also if I remember correctly, half my team died the last time I played the trilogy, so I wanted to correct that.

@Star67:

Star field..GS 7-10(good)

Metacritic 83-85.

Stop lying

Nice. Glad the game did well. Sadly I'm busy for a while with other games and stuff so I can't play the game right away when it comes out.

I think that Doom 2016 was a lot: heavy game with some super graphics. I wonder if the new Doom is not too much. Maybe I could like it a lot.

Imagine if Half life 3 rumors are true and it get announced soon. Both Doom and Half life in same year or 2.

amazing.

Valve insider review.

Game is masterpiece for sure.

Gamepass is having quite a year so far.

Its Doom, it's boring, it's been boring since the turn of the century.

Someone in this thread Doom is "saving gaming" bloody hell 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@ghosts4ever: Ive read a couple of reviews and Im liking the suggestion that this game altered the recent fast pace of Doom 2016 and Eternal. (Although I love them)

I really like that devs use their creativity to bring new paces, types of gameplay. Looking forward to trying this on GamePass.

MSFT gets another +
