Gonna be honest, if Dark Ages represents the future of Doom: Doom died with Eternal. I've played probably 75% of the game and it's enough to turn me off of every future title.

Edit: Bizarre fucking takes in this thread. How many of you that liked DA played on controller?

Final edit: liking Dark Ages and disliking Eternal is like preferring lunchables to a NYC slice.

Hard disagree. Doom Eternal was a rhythm game disguised as an FPS and I hated it. It's crazy to me how widely acclaimed it was even over Doom 2016, which I thought was amazing. I'm glad they shifted back towards a more grounded FPS style that doesn't force you to juggle your entire weapon arsenal nonstop the entire game.

I really enjoyed 2016, couldn't get into Eternal though. I'm definitely going to hold off on this new one until it's been out longer and goes on sale, unless it gets standing ovations. Then, if I don't like it I haven't lost much.

Doom died with Ethernal. Dark Ages is just more of that decline.

Was this before or after this: https://lemmy.world/post/29593011

Because I'm curious why Valve would have gone to so much trouble to make the game run on Linux just to ruin that.
