Predict The new Dooms Reception from critics

Was thinking of a fun thing to do what do you think the new dooms reception upon release will be? I think it will be along the lines of.

"Doom doesn't remake and ascend the FPS genre but it's a damn fine game and is one of the most fun FPS's in quite a while"

A bunch of IGN 20 year olds who played 5 minutes of E1M1, having grown up Halo and Metriod whatever will proclaim boldy how old school it is while, real admirable gamers will be writing bad reviews on steam, stoically and heroically dispensing judgement with extreme prejudice.

You mean "real admirable gamers" throwing a fit because a game in 2016 ain't exactly how they remember it from 1993.

It won't top the godly Dooms of old.

I bet most places give it a 6-8

10/10 Greatest thing since sliced bread.

It is Okay

"It's COD with demons"

or

"Its a unique take on an old series"

75/100 metacritic +/- 3%

And it won't be necessarily just on its merit alone, nor all the pretentious hate coming from people who supposedly know better because they're all big old school arena MP gamers who don't play games like Doom for their SP. I mean, that might be a partial element, but the other reason is simply one thing, that's Uncharted 4. Frankly, Doom doesn't stand a chance releasing same week as Uncharted 4. Bethesda brought it on themselves setting a Friday release date leaving an open Tuesday available for Uncharted 4's many delays to settle on. Even still, they knew long ago of the scheduling of Uncharted and didn't alter their launch window, it's kind of their fault.

I think I'm gonna like it a lot, so I'll be all over it regardless.

it will get good critical reception but users will trash it

On consoles it will sell well,mostly on xbox cause ps has uncharted 4.On PC it will flop.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Mic fucking dropped.

It's not going to reinvent the wheel, that's for certain. I just hope the SP campaign is good. The CoD/Halo MP should keep the kiddies entertained.

I predict an 8 on GS.

Don't care ,Doom is fps like it or not. Getting collector for Xbox and ps4. The campaign's 60fps@1080p on both systems is how all multiplat should be. 9/10 great job ID

78-82 Metacritic.

8 or 9 out of 10 but will become overrated/over-hyped later on.

It'll be recieved like wolfenstien if it's decent.

doom 4 will get the exact same score that rage did

@worknow222: Realistically speaking, I predict it would between 7's and 8's. While reader reviews will be split between bashing it and praising it as the best game ever made.

"Doom is a fun shooter on the outside but lacks imagination everywhere else."

"One step forward for the series and two steps back."

I'm not as picky but still, I'm not expecting much from this Doom.

I agree I think the game will do very well

• GS: 7-8/10
• MC: 75-85
• Console User Avg:75-85
• PC User Avg: 50-75

Metroid at its peak has been a far more cerebral and brilliantly designed game than Doom, and I think Doom is pretty legit. You are off your rocker.

Said game from 1993 had more going on, then what looks like a game taking inspiration from games that took inspiration from Doom.

I dont care I want it to be good. and theres never been a bad doom game. not even doom 3.

God I want this game so badly.

Good first person shooter game worth playing, will be forgotten in about a year. I don't see anything special to keep it alive in peoples memories. Maybe a good modding scene, but i don't know if id software will create the game to be mod friendly.

Ahh snap map

Not to mention the old dooms are better than ever with the modding scene with things like Brutal Doom..

84 on metacritic

I don´t understand what´s the big deal about Doom, I own it, played it and hell, it was boring ! let´s hope the new Doom is something really kick azz. Probably the only reason I would purchase it is because my son had a lot of fun playing the Beta MP.

Not to big of a fan of Brutal Doom, if it was just the presentation it be one thing, but a lot of times it just feels bogged down a bit in an attempt to go so far over the top. In fact the new Doom to me always came off as something as taking one too many cues from Brutal Doom, as they expect you to get those melee finishers so much which will just naturally slow the game down.

But otherwise yeah, Doom 1 is a timeless game. It's simple but elegant, much in the same way a nes era Mario game is still terrific.

The thing is those finishers in Brutal Doom are optional.. You don't have do them.. In this game it looks like you constantly have to do them.

They will wimp out and give it an 8/10 then close the blast doors and retreat for a week.

I would be happy if the general consensus was that description from the OP. I'm not looking for a life changing game here, just something to shut off my brain after a long day at the job with a cold beer in my hand.

I think the critics might be tough on this game because its a game that relies heavily on pure adrenaline action and gore, so I don't know really how the critics will see it.

New launch trailer nice music but I liked the leaked version first Original

Remixed

86 meta

I'm betting 7's, with the multiplayer dragging the score down.

Most truly critical reception has already shown that it's going to be heavily mixed. I have a feeling there will be too much comparison to the old games and not enough focus on what the new one does well (*cough* not multiplayer *cough*).

I'm thinking it will get 6-7. It just seems lacklustre although I guess I should preface my indifference by saying I don't really like DOOM.

Calling 77/100 on metacritic.

I'm thinking 80-84 on MC.

8/10

The multiplayer beta was both boring and had identity issues. Am I Quake 3? Am I Unreal? Am I Halo? Am I COD? You see how I didn't mention Doom at all? That's because nothing, NOTHING about the game reminded me about Doom.

Meh/10

GS won't give it more than an 8 or less than a 6

LOL multiplayer.

Doom is primilary SP franchise. If uncharted or tomb raider MP suck would you still judge game based on MP?

MP in FPS imo is waste of time.

... Doom pretty much coined terms like frag, Team/death match etc into gaming... Doom 1 and 2 was awesome in multiplayer and it was gigantic in Sweden at the time at LANs. It's not a SP only franchise, if you believe that you haven't been into PC multiplayer gaming before DOOM 3 was released.

"In addition to the thrilling nature of the single-player game, the deathmatch mode was an important factor in the game's popularity. Doom was not the first first-person shooter with a deathmatch mode; Maze War, an FPS released in 1974, was running multiplayer deathmatch over ethernet on Xerox computers by 1977. The widespread distribution of PC systems and the violence in Doom made deathmatching particularly attractive. Two-player multiplayer was possible over a phone line by using a modem, or by linking two PCs with a null-modem cable. Because of its widespread distribution, Doom hence became the game that introduced deathmatching to a large audience and was also the first game to use the term "deathmatch"."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_(1993_video_game)

"Doom's multiplayer functionality was greatly improved in Doom II, including "out of the box" support for a vastly increased number of dial-up modems. The two player dial-up connection allowed one player to dial in to the other player's computer in order to play either cooperatively or in deathmatch style combat. There was also LAN functionality added, which was improved upon as patches and updates were released. This functionality was later incorporated into the original Doom. As with the original Doom, multiplayer games used to be played using the dial-up or LAN by the internal setup program (setup.exe), through the online serviceDWANGO or with once popular programs like Kali and Kahn (using SPX) in Windows 95. Nowadays, in the modern standards, Doom II can be played with almost any version of Windows across the internet using third party source ports such as Odamex,^[6]Zandronum,^[7]ZDaemon,^[8] and are still popular today.^[9] The Xbox Live Arcade port of Doom II supports online multiplayer via Xbox Live."

It's not a SP only franchise.

@kaealy: Doom 3 MP also suck but was praise for SP

and yes im not into MP FPS. however i enjoy these old school shooters for amazing SP experience. if you want MP then theres new UT and overwatch

I'm sure they'll be mixed, a few 6's and a few 8's with some 9's in there. I don't get the comparison to Halo and I'm sure the one's that do see that comparison will give the game the 6's lol. Game is a throwback really to Quake and plays like the old Doom's which is something I haven't really played in a while, really since the last Wolfenstein game but I'm looking forward to getting it, I can't wait.

wasnt dooms MP sorta praised? or was that co op on the original xbox I am thinking of?
