DOOM: The Dark Ages - Thoughts After Playing It

Really surprised how much the recording looks like Doom Eternal. Like--it's obviously not Doom Eternal, but they seem to have kept a lot more stuff than I thought they would.

People who love Doom Eternal will probably love this game. But after playing THE ANCIENT GODS: PART TWO, I'm a little uneasy when something looks like Doom Eternal.

the devs obviously wanted to try something new but in a DOOM context I think they are really jumping the shark with the 2 vehicles AND the slower fps gameplay. time will tell I suppose.

Shout-out to Xbox!💚

This game looks awesome and I’m glad it’s slower paced, eternal was fun but became more about skill and doing all the things all the time, I want to have a more cinematic experience but still difficult.

Thanks for the video. It's interesting to me that Doom Guy has staying power, but Master Chief does not, especially since they both belong to Microsoft. Who knows. Maybe in 10 years, we'll see Halo redefine the FPS genre. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.

This is just a small detail but it’s cool as hell how they put his face at the bottom next to the health like they did in the old dooms when we were kids 🔥

The game looks awesome, but man those dragon and mech sections look sooooo boring.

I'm actually really disappointed in the changes they made to glory kills. The big gory finishers were half the reason I liked doom 2016 and eternal, and the new system they have in dark age doesn't look as cool to me. But everything else looks great.

Who is this big shot guy getting flown out to interview devs.

Gratz man

They should reboot the Heretic/Hexen franchise, or a good remake, or at least like digital games on console just like classic Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein 3D etc. oh man those MS-DOS days

I loved Doom 2016, I hated Doom Eternal (due to being on rails I think is why). I'm curious which design direction they went this time.

please slider for reducing slow motion, PLEASE.

The Slayer's face holo-icon makes it look like even he's unable to escape balding. 😂

Immediately the vibes of the visuals seem as if it’s a Painkiller game. Dunno if it’s good thing right now or not

I’m not good enough at FPS games to take this on (I stick mainly to RPGs), but I have to say, this game looks pretty awesome visually.

all i want to know is does it play more like 2016 or eternal. loved 2016, quit eternal after 20 minutes because my shotgun kept running out of ammo.

Looks like Doom Warhammer 40k Into The Chaos Warp...helll yeas

I really want to like this game, but 2016 is my preference. Quit eternal early, might not even try this.

congrats on the press get ! :D

I’m predicting Doom Renaissance is gonna be next

To me it still looks similar to Doom Eternal's more forced playstyle, Doom 2016 was just a solid fps game with no weird bells or whistles. The 2 sequals seem to focus on very specific forced 'gameplay combat loops' for lack of a better term. I'm sure most people will love it (much like people enjoyed Eternal) but probably not for me.

Are glory kills still apart of the game? Maybe I missed it, but i didnt see any in this video?

Thanks for the info, looking forward to your full review

I think maybe the best thing about this is that they are always trying new ideas instead of sticking to a market-proved formula. The recent three doom entries are so different from each other yet coherent somehow, and all have their unique greatness. Even if this one turns out not to speak to me, I'm fully into this kind of trying to create new paths in an old genre.

I really didn't like the new Dooms, but this one has potential. Open environments and the ability to adjust game speed seem great.

You got invited by Microsoft, played doom early and interviewed Hugo?

That is an awesome day!

So happy for you! This looks sick

I just hope the whole "mandatory glory kills to get ammo" we had in Eternal will be removed or at least diminished, I really hated it.

The one thing I want to know, can you jump or is it all run and gun? Have a good day.😊

Other devs: it's hard to create different difficulty modes!
Doom: the Dark Ages: Hold my beer.

Thx for the video!

Can we see the legs of Doomguy?

Thanks on the preview. This game is definitely on my radar.

Every time I see footage of this game, I lament the obvious missed opportunity to reboot quake. The Quake 1 vibes are strong.

Doomhammer 40k.

Great that youre getting these press invites and stuff

Any keyboard under 100% sized is a child's toy

Looks like Painkiller will be the best DOOM game to come out. 🤷‍♂️

Ah damn hate games that try and push parry mechanics hopefully not needed

Best game reviews on YT

A gun that grinds up enemy skulls to use as ammo is the most metal thing I've ever seen

Reminds me of Amid Evil: The Black Labirnth but with much higher budget. Which is good because i really like this game

for whatever reason, Doom always makes me nauseous. I am super fine with most 3p games, such as Apex, Quake, etc. but Doom games and even Skyrim make me nauseous. FOV adjustments dont help. Even watching this video made a bit dizzy

Am I crazy or did they take some influence from Witchfire?

I see there are some prepurchase skin stuff... not that I care about that stuff, just wondering... whyyyyyy? isn't this 1st person singleplayer only?

Honestly, I just never cared for the melee in the new Doom games. I know in 2016 there wasn't much of it, but I would still just prefer not being forced to do melee as a game mechanic. That might be part of why back when Doom 2016 came out I ignored it in favor of Titanfall 2.

I found Doom Eternal fun but a little too frustrating at times, so I'm SO glad they have modular difficulty options!

The modular difficulty/settings sounds really awesome to play around with.
