I considered typing a few paragraphs to explain my displeasure as to why Rage - one of the most boring and *Meh* games I have ever bought, played, and quit a few hours in - is getting a sequel, instead of Doom 2016.
Downward Thrust, who is one of the best gaming YouTubers, summarizes my thoughts perfectly.
I liked Rage (except the ending) but even still, I agree, a sequel to this over a huge hit like Doom makes absolutely no sense. Unless id software has two development teams (which could be a possibility) and the other one is hard at work on a Doom sequel this is one hell of an odd decision from a business point of view if nothing else.
id isn’t developing Rage 2. Bethesda is the publisher that owns their ip’s.I liked Rage (except the ending) but even still, I agree, a sequel to this over a huge hit like Doom makes absolutely no sense.

It sold 2 million copies on PC alone. It was a massive success across the board.Did the new Doom actually sell well though? I know it was received well with critics, but I'm so sure about the sales.
