DOOM Eternal - Review Thread
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Lack of Battlemode pre-launch can mean some publications will choose to withheld the rating for now, but it may cause others to stay relatively high too as they only have the campaign to judge without knowing the qualities or issues of this mode.
Hoping for a 91 to match Animal Crossing. These games are star crossed lovers and must remain as a pair in every way.
I was just going to say, how great would that be. :D
I'm not expecting a score quite that high, but it seems like it will be a quality product that satisfies Doom fans nonetheless.
IN THE FIRST AGE
age being a synonym for era and a direct reference to this thread
IN THE FIRST BATTLE
of Doom v. Animal Crossing
WHEN THE SHADOWS FIRST LENGTHENED
this being an allusion to the current pandemic crisis
ONE STOOD
ONE stOOd = 100
makes perfect sense

That is a post-launch update, as confirmed by their in-game events video from yesterday. Bit of a shame because I assume a lot of people are gonna be playing through the campaign on launch week and not touch it afterwards.

Which sounds kinda strange to say at the start of the generation, but if you look at it, it really isn't. They didn't have a mainline Elder Scrolls, just an online one. Yet another Skyrim port. They had a mainline Fallout with several issues and an online one that was disastrous. They had the interesting Wolfenstein games that either had just passable gameplay (the first ones) and a good story or vice versa (Youngblood). Prey is far from perfect.
Doom might be like the only fixed point that doesn't disappoint. We'll see.
Okay. I don't usually follow their games so I didn't know it ended after the original Doom.
You are forgetting Dishonored 2 which is the best reviewed game and actually the best Bethesda title published this gen.
Actually you're right. But then again, looking at the sales, a lot of people forgot about it. Doom seems to be their only sure hit in terms of critical and commercial praise. I'd be surprised if Eternal went below 85.
Prey (until maybe this) deserved a lot more sales and love. One of my fav games of this gen
I think they'll overcorrect because of 2016 and this ends up low 90s.
That Easy Allies preview got me all sweaty. Everyone is at home at the moment due to quarantine in my house so I'm thinking of locking myself in my office with a few cups of coffee for the day!
That happened with dark souls and how we ended up with dark souls 2 being the best reviewed one of the trilogy.
Kinda funny how things change. I remember people expecting Doom 2016 to be obliterated by critics since review scores were going up on launch day "a bad sign". Today I imagine most people would say an 85 average is "too low" for Doom 2016.
to be fair "doom 4" had a troubled history and the beta wasn't so well received
but yeah too much hay was made of bethesda's review policy imo
But thats ok because Dark Souls 2 is the best game in the trilogy
You've still go to figure that some outlets had someone on the review who just doesn't get DOOM. My buddy is that way. Doesn't get the appeal. I tell him. It's just stupid violence- you kill demons. He isn't enthused. Unfortunate really
