Good thing I hadn't bought Doom II yet.
Crazy that they're making them even cheap when apparently they're getting more support.

DOOM sale on all systems! 1, 2, and 3 at 70% off, 2016 50% off on switch (70% off on other platforms)
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Already played 4 hours lol, too late. It's not that I will like the game less because I payed more for it.
Just bought Doom 1-2-3 for Switch for under a fiver. Thanks for the heads-up OP!
Still waiting for a decent sale price on turok 1-2. Not paying £15 for each of them.

Yeah I dont understand it either. What is up with that... it's always like that aswell, not the first time it's heavily discounted on all other platforms at the same time as it's not as on the Switch.
The simple answer is that it's almost 2 years newer on Switch. How much did it cost on other platforms 2 years ago?
Bethesda has Skyrim and wolfenstien for $30+ still so that switch tax is real :( I want cheap portable DOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM
I will get Doom $3 though, never played it before

I bought Doom for my PS4 for 20$ less than 6 months after it was released.
Ah yeah then that would indeed be a Switch problem. I guess it hasn't sold quite as well as it did on the others (understandably, being a late port) so they can't justify that dramatic of a price drop?
Doom 3 was irresistable at that price. Not sure if I will have the guts to get through it. I'm pretty jumpy.
Obviously it cant sell as well as the others if it's always much more expensive? :P
I guess we'll never find out.. heh
imo Ultimate Doom is the more cohesive experience. Sure Doom II has the Super Shotgun and more enemy types but a lot of the maps are of questionable quality
I liked the game, but Doom 3 is the black sheep of the franchise. It drops a lot of the open space run & gun gameplay of 1, 2, & the 2016 reboot for slower-paced cramped corridor jump-scares. Doom 3 has more in common with horror action games like Dead Space than the rest of the Doom series.
I've been pretty happy with the '93 and II ports on the Switch, first times playing the games and they are very competent, outside of the game freezing when waking from sleep sometimes.
Only real bummer is not being able to rebind the controls, or use the wireless SNES controller to play the game. I'm not having too much issues playing on the easier difficulties, but wouldn't even attempt to play on the hardest difficulties.
I'll grab Doom 3 now though, wasn't planning on it before this sale. Already have the new Doom installed and waiting for me on my Desktop after I beat 2 and 3 :D

Bought Doom on Switch a few weeks ago but found the short throw of the joy con analogue made for twitchy playing! The old XBLA version had two turn speeds (quicker if holding run trigger) but also nowhere to be found here.
Still, these are good value if you aren't bothered by that, or playing with a Pro-esque controller.

Usually it is because it is still selling well that you don't see the price going lower. Same reason as to why Skyrim is getting 50% off at best.
Waiting to hear the answer to this. Played the games to death on PC many years ago, and just simply want to shoot shit up with no consequences.

Never played them, but used Nintendo Gold points to pick them all up.
Thanks for the heads up, OP. Excited to try them out.

Over two years old and Doom has never gone sub $30 on Switch. That's kind of ridiculous.
In for 1-3 though.

Would love to double dip for Doom 2016 on Switch if they ever want to price it appropriately instead of multiple times more than the other platforms cost
Doom doesn't have a dev-console, that was a Quake thing. (Also dev-consoles are quite typically disabled on consoles by certification conditions.)
Dang I heard the ports had some bugs, I was hoping it would be all patched up by now.
