The New DOOM Thread (2016)

[ortucis]

Gameplay is one thing, but what i cannot understand is what does it have to do with Doom. It looks like Crysis, one of newer Call of Duties or just Generic sci-fi shooter #53.

Funny thing is the older 2008 version of DOOM was accused of being too generic and Call of Dootie like, but you know, in hindsight, it looks like genius compared to this revamped piece of shit.

It's Bethesda we are talking about here.

Retards canceled Prey 2 cause it wasn't "upto their standards".

Fallout 4 is their standard.

Prey 2 didn't look anything special to begin with anyway.

I disagree.

Doom: I want to be a revenant

You can now pre-purchase it on Steam.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/379720/

Top-Seller incoming.

Why would anyone preorder a digital copy? And without any discount? Makes no sense

No idea. The only reason could be preload, especially if you have a slow internet connection. But that would mean pre-purchasing it days, not months before release, especially because it's a real pre-purchase, ans Steam takes the money immediately, not like amazon, which charge at shipping for pre-orders.

Aye, that screen pretty much perfectly sums up this game.

Holy fucking shit, does Bethesda acknowledge there are third world countries on this planet? First Fallout 4, now Doom at 58 fucking dollars at South East Asia, while almost every other AAA games are at least 30% or 40% off here, even Ubisoft's games are cheaper.

Doing a 1:1 translation of the USD price to your regional equivalent is all the rage. I mean fuck, when I bought Skyrim the Euro was at about 1,4 dollar. Remember that in the eyes of the Americans this is not screwing people over because America is the only country that exists.

 

[sexbad?]

There's no game that's worth sixty American dollars in the first place.

Nice official screenshot

Nice improvement over Doom3 screenshots

PS. I started Doom3+RoA playthrough.
Custom .ini config for widescreen + better guns (Realistic guns) + duct tape and we can ride it again.

The funny thing is that so far (in Germany) all of those games where cheaper in retail stores. On release one can usually save 5-15 bucks when buying it in a store as opposed to Steam (or even GOG).

Same here. Almost always 10-15 dollars cheaper just ordering from a retail store. It's ridiculously dumb.

Or fiendishly clever.

Fallout 4 here is like a month's pay check

 

[taxalot]

Supposedly, the 1 to 1 conversion which fucks us Europeans is because of the cost of bringing the games over here. Localization costs, they say.

While I get it for adventure games, RPGs, Scripted FPS with loots of voice overs.... Doom ? Fucking Doom ?

European prices also include European sales tax, U.S. prices don't. And sales tax is like 20% in many countries.

Since I was a Quake fanboy, I never touched Doom back in the day. So my first DOOM experience was Doom 3 and I absolutely loved it. I have played older Doom games after that, but I didn't really care much for them.

So anyway, the point is, I played D3 when it was released and there were no whiny modders creating retarded duck-tape mods. Game works fine and is pretty fun. The flashlight is needed in few areas for few seconds. They wanted to create a dark atmosphere to make you feel like anything can jump from the shadows (kinda messed that up thanks to teleporting enemies) and this is why darkness works in that game. The section where you follow one small robot in darkness was just so much fun thanks to flashlight mechanic.

Taking that away and turning it into another shit horror game where you run around with flashlight on, is bloody retarded.


Also, Doom 3 expansion is awesome. ID creates a good game and their expansions are always an improvement. For example, RAGE. That game's expansion when full nuts with action and I loved it.



PS: Bethesda killed iD Software. Is there anything these people can't kill?

Wow, take a load of this guy!
Praising a shit game because he never played originals.
Filthy decline enabler.
