Multiplat DOOM: The Dark Ages (15 May 2025)

[Zazen]

Glory kills is the backbone of the Modern Doom series. A fucking disappointment.

Yeah it sucks, it was a cool reward for beating down on a demon. Kind of like fatalities in MK. Reminds me of that time they did that whole kreate-a-fataility bullshit and they all ended up looking the same. People hated that and they went back to traditional fatalities ever since.

Just released. Looks kind of familiar.

I preferred 2016 to Eternal so I'm not super pumped to see the series continue in this direction. Also, the setting makes way more sense for a Quake reboot.

In what direction? This looks more similar to 2016 than Eternal from what I have seen.

More fantasy/cartoonish

Fantasy yes but cartoonish? Not seeing that. Eternal was very arcadey with the traversal and colors but this looks like the gameplay will be more similar to 2016. I think you should like this one more than Eternal at least based on what we’ve seen.

I’m talking from a gameplay perspective. There’s nothing that indicates so far that it’s an arcadey type game like Eternal. Also I bet they stuff is like 5 percent of the game versus eternal constantly having big platform sections

It doesnt seem more cartoonish than Eternal, no.

What was cartoonish in Eternal aside from ammo and armor being colorful and abundant?

The Marauders literally seeing stars when you stun them was pretty fucking cartoonish.

Some of the facial expressions of the enemies when you glory kill them

To continue our discussion from nearly three years ago, lol. I amend my example saying Architects-Blackhole is the perfect example on how to integrate deep vocals.

He's such a likeable guy. He gets the concern being raised and answers it sincerely without the corpo speak while still defending id's design decisions.

How is that more cartoonish than demons?

An example of people complaining just to complain. My favorite was looking at FF7 Rebirth reviews and people complaining about character management stuff in an RPG, stuff that can be turned off anyway.

There are also still demons...
