What a brilliant game, haven't had such continous fun in a long time, a good challenge and ran really well! Looking forward to the next one.
Definitely my favorite of the modern doom trilogy. I feel like it melds the best aspects of 2016 and Eternal into one experience. The shield combat is fantastic and I hope it makes a return in whatever game we get next. Only complaint is that I feel there are too many weapons. they're all fun to use, some more than others. I tend to catch myself only cycling between 3-4 weapons when I assume the game wants you to use all of them? That being said the 3-4 guns I do tend to favor are amazing, I tend to use the Super shotty, the Cycler and the rocket launcher mainly. Overall a great game, very much looking forward to the DLC in July!
Buy the game by all means but ( under no circumstances buy the DLC at the moment ) as it crashes the game constantly The game itself is fantastic if your machine can play it I only Recommend the game itself for now
Had an absolute blast, especially with Revelations campaign. I even dare to say that I liked Revelations more than og. Architect is my pal, what a chad <3 Sending all my love to the devteam, and my soul to whose affected by layoffs. [b] KAR EN TUK. [/b]
В целом я не фанат игр DOOM. Для меня они даже душные...В предыдущих частях хотел делать жоские дропы под конец. Но Дарк Эйжд такая хорошая СДВГШКА, ПИУ ПИУ ПАУ ПАУ ЗЕЛЕНЫЕ ЛУЧИКИ ФИОЛЕТОВЫЕ ЛУЧИКИ. Щиточек, парированиями и рывки дали, лично мне, что то новое и чего не хватало в пред играх, а этот топот от костюма ну скааазка. НО Х1 - если бы добавили копье из длс в середине основы, то было бы круто очиин!! НО х2, уже от 8 главы это такая рутина....работа...прям думаешь " да когда уже конец". Враги одни и те же, да, иногда атлан и дракончик разбавляют, но ♥♥♥...эти чистки мега надоедают . И,на мой взгляд, но очень зависим дум чел от лутинга - прокачка, а лутинг тоже довольно душный, найти ключи, черепа, вернуться обратно и тд.... Думаю, что правда -растянули искусственно, если оставить уровней 10-12 - то хайповый крутяк. А так очень быстро душит, и просится дроп. Спасибо студии за хорошую оптимизацию, жалко уволили всех ♥♥♥♥♥,ну ниче...
其实前作永恒我是没给好评的,一是到处塞跳跳乐把我血压搞上去了。 二是最开始的时候永恒还搞了个联网通行证系统我老掉线,不过现在通行证皮肤都并入豪华版dlc了,算是不错的补救。 但是id我是绝对给好评的,甚至永恒到了2025年还在更新官方的mod工具和支持。 这一作也是好玩的,盾锯和长矛的切换太好玩了。 可惜被首发价格和优化拖累了,最后为微软的市场决策和多元化背锅。 【为什么你们这种没有需要守护之物又空虚的人能活下去,而它就得死?】 ps:Kaibz Mod已经可以让原版战役切换长矛了
Phenomenal game. What Microsoft did to id Software is unacceptable though. They are the best coders in the industry and Microsoft basically shut most of them down. Buy it to support the remainder of id but buy it on a steep discount if you can. Screw Microsoft, man. Otherwise 10/10 game.
Que jogo incrível, o meu primeiro contato com a franquia foi quando eu era criança e joguei DOOM de 1993 no meu pc que era uma carroça na época kkkk, um dia visitei o meu pai e joguei o reboot de 2016 e foi uma experiência marcante naquele dia.
definitely the worst of the modern doom games. the music just doesn't feel the same without mick Gordon, combat feels less punchy and the removal of the execution animations is really sad. Open world missions are something doom does not need, and they drag on compared to normal missions. the levels all kind of look the same, either they're medieval with sci-fi doodads every once and a while, or they're green rocks. the mech missions are fun initially, but after the 11th time of killing the exact same enemy type and nothing else it starts to drag on. I do like the dragon riding missions and they're generally pretty unique, but they feel kind of janky compared to the rest of the game. I find myself revisiting doom 2016 and doom eternal every year or so, but I tend to skip this one, maybe the DLC will change my opinion.
Eeeeeeh, the most boring doom I've played. This one just bored me in the long run. Those green and red colours just feels off, feels like they are launching some kind of tutorial attack like to learn but stucks the entire time. The level design is also kinda meh and boring. The music was also downgraded of course we all know why but seriously the music is shy af in some parts. Aaaaaand the worst is, the executions, rip them. Basically they've added some but scripted and doesn't feel nice. Game doesn't deserve full price so won't recommend it.
