Wasn't going to watch anything else but can't help but check out the official trailer. Still haven't watched any uncut gameplay though at least which I feel has always been more spoilery.

Cthulu gave me a hard on.
 
I haven’t even watched 1 trailer. I have no clue what this game even really looks like.
But still preordered the 99.99 version

I’m playing through eternal the ancient gods right now and it’s the craziest fps I’ve ever played

TAG has some of the most intense gameplay I've ever experienced.

Still haven't preordered yet but will likely get the premium edition since it's doubtful I won't like the game enough to play the dlc.

ultra violence is absolutely brutal. There are a few sections where they just keep throwing those dread knights and Mauraders. Also so many little demons that keep respawning until you finally clear them out

I did both TAGs on nightmare and it might have been my most frustrating time in any game. Like you say, they went nuts with the arenas and marauders. Especially TAG1.

OG Doom '93 fan checking in, rocked my world when I was 10.

I will probably be waiting a year or two before I get this since I still got master levels to beat on Eternal.

Still, I love the aesthetic and concept of this. That said, it will be interesting how the whole "Stand and Fight" dynamic is going to work and how it wont be too easy. Id are geniuses though so I have not doubt it will.

I love the movement options in Eternal with the double jump, dash and meathook so I have some reservations as well. Some of the gameplay looked kind of slow by comparison. But the footage I saw was on the default difficulty, hurt me plenty.

Then I ran across some different footage with the sliders cranked up to max and it changed things dramatically. So I think we'll have the ability to go beyond normal nightmare difficulty if you're crazy enough to try it.
 


I really love Hugo. He’s exactly what I would want from a game director.

Explanation for glory kill changes makes complete sense. They aren’t changing formulas just to change them.
 
I appreciate the art style going back a bit more to the OG ones, and the music sounds good even with Gordon’s departure. I just don’t see the gameplay lighting me up as much. Just something seems off to me. Though like you all know, ID manages to bring it the vast majority of the time, so I will stay open to it. Thankfully it’s coming to gamepass so it’s still technically a day 1 purchase…

And the new revenant and cyber demon look pretty sick to me. Can’t hate much on the new enemy designs., for the most part.
 
Reviews go up May 9, 10 AM ET. What score you guys predict? I’m going with a solid 90

I think every one of these new iterations has had its proponents and detractors. Been kind of interesting to see. Im sure it’ll be a similar situation again.

I’ve loved both 2016 and Eternal for completely different reasons.

Absolutely have. At least with the jump to Eternal, the gameplay was basically the same. This one is certainly much different. The first two I knew I would enjoy since they were shown to be fast and twitchy, which is up my alley. This is a different beast altogether, and I “feel” it’s going to play sluggishly. Halo-ish. Anotherpart of my brain is telling me to “shut the fuck up” and wait since I’m not controlling it…

One thing is for certain. People will bitch.

I mentioned that I don’t think it’ll require the same precision as Eternal but I definitely think it’s going to be frantic with as many enemies are on screen at once.

Here’s hoping. Though tbh, there isn’t a doom game that I don’t love, so they will probably deliver once again, despite the cynical reaction.

Discounting crappy ports like the 3DO doom, of course.
