DOOM - The Dark Ages

Post by Executioner »

This looks like fun, but I don't have the hardware to run it.



Comes out in May 2025.

I'm in, as long as there's no parkour.

Looks like from that demo vid, there is some jumping involved but it does not look that bad. The game I'm currently playing is Horizon Zero Dawn. In this game, there is jumping and climbing you have to complete, but I really like the way they handled it. Also, they plan to make a movie from this game.

Well I'm disappointed in this game. I hate to say this, but I found a pirated copy to try out on my new gaming laptop.
1. Constant requirement to use dodge.
2. Those big mob fights. Can't shoot them. Requires getting close to parry and dodge. Then comes more with the same type of fighting - parry. Boring.
3. The shield mechanic is cool but it becomes boring when 90% of the combat is focused around it.
4. They focused way too hard on the annoying parry system and forgot to make your shield function as a shield.
5. Hate this level design. Twisting and confusing with way too much back tracking and time spent getting disoriented by the map.
6. Dragon levels sucks. More requirements to dodge.

I'm only on chapter 5 and it will be deleted. Glad I did not buy this game. I really enjoyed Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3, and Doom 2016, but the last 2 are disappointments.
