Can't even play the game.
I can spend as much time in the menu and settings as I want, watch the first cutscene just fine... but as soon as I enter the game it freezes within 1 minute every time.
Literally unplayable.
I've tried tweaks I found online, tried new drivers (the version mentioned in the launcher) and the previous driver version recommended on the official website and no changes.
Womp womp.
Installed Doom 2016 and enjoying it again.

Well i rather enjoy it. The mecha and dragon sections are a bit basic but the main combat is fun and fresh.

Game runs like shit so I'm not buying it.

I'm pretty sure the game is enjoyable, but is it really $70 (Or in case of EU 80€ which to be crystal clear is a fucking joke of a price) enjoyable? I thought about buying Doom TDA but when I saw the price tag I decided to buy V Rising instead. I'm pretty sure for more than half the price I'm getting as much enjoyment out of V Rising as I would out of Doom TDA.
My issue with the increase of premium pricing is mainly pragmatic. There's no reason to pay that price when you could get just as good or better games cheaper.

I pirate about 99% of the games i play until they go on sale for under $20. I dont think $70 for any game is fair, but i make an exception for doom games because they are my absolute favorites.
For me personally its worth it, but i wouldn't recommend it at full price to anyone who isnt a hardcore doom fan.

Game prices haven't followed inflation because the market kept growing so fast that they made it up on gross revenue. That's coming to an end (hence the post-lockdown market contraction and layoffs), so expect prices to go up by at least $10 every generation from now on.

Played and it was parry hell. And by that I mean just keep parrying super easy but like so often. If this was reskined as captain America game it would make plenty of sense but as a doom game meh.
They took out what made the game fun. We literally just turned off the music it was so not engaging. Plus hardly any rip and tearing. Felt like someone's grandma edited the game to be less cool. -

Maybe they should have just made another Hexen and left DOOM as DOOM.

I have an Xbox s and x. If I had paid full price and only had an s, I would have rioted. It looks like Vaseline got smeared all over my tv screen to get it to run on that thing. The framerate is good, but it has to down res so much it looks awful and actually detracts from the experience.
Tbh, the x runs awesome and looks great, but you do need a decent system to run it.

I bought it for the Xbox X. Runs amazing but I get why people would skip. DRM and forced raytracing is pretty sucky. I’ve already beaten it and am on my second play through. I’ve been a Doom addict since childhood when I played Knee-deep in the Dead.

Had a lot of fun with Doom 2016, and I fucking loved Eternal. However, it wouldn't feel right to support id Software with the way they treated Mick Gordon, especially with all the work he put into the soundtracks for both of the games. Plus the dragon and mech parts looked really weird in Dark Ages. I have a friend who did play the game and he wasn't too impressed, and he said that the dragon and mech parts were basically really boring on-rails sections. I don't feel like I'm missing anything not playing it

They shit on Mick so badly and so dishonestly that it broke my fan status. I am a hardcore doom fan and id fan. Or I guess it's better to say I was. Once they pulled that shit with Mick, I was done. I have all prior collector's editions and several statues and other related paraphernalia. I gave them the benefit of the doubt until Mick came with receipts. Between that and the increased pricing, I'm just going to wait for a sale and get the regular version on deep discount. If I even do that. I'm just so disappointed in them.

I streamed it on Game Pass for about 30 min and was bored and quit after the first level. I'm not really the target audience, but I still expected more.

Same. I think DE is one of the best shooters ever made, and so is its OST.
I saw the trailer for this one and though "meh, fuck them, I'll buy Mick's next games/music with that money instead". Didn't even know it was out until a couple days ago.
