Combat feels faster than Eternal at times

DefenderOfDoom26h ago

From the reviews I watched so for , they said Doom the Dark Ages is slower than Eternal but Doom Dark Ages is still a lot faster then most of FPS games today.

I guess that means the game is trash?

No it's good but for $70 and Denuvo DRM on PC hard pass.

Don’t matter, if it’s not hitting 100k+ it’s considered trash and a failure.
That’s the new standard apparently

The game is awesome and EPIC, way more epic than the previous ones. The soundtrack is a heavy metal banger as well but yeah its clear why it’s struggling and i hope it’s going to be a lesson for Bethesda and for others greedy companies.

Be like more like Sandfall Interactive and Expedition 33 and your game will sell.

This game just didn't excite me like the last 2. I'm passing on it this time.

Spin off vibe without the spin off price.

Could be affected by:
- A percentage of people will play this on GamePass which the last 2 games did not launch on.
- A percentage of players bought the Deluxe Edition which included early access, reducing the peak as players will start playing it on different days.

PRIMORDUS1d 2h ago

Price most likely the issue, and while most don't know or care about Denuvo on PC, if you lower the price I'm sure it will sell more on all platforms.

VersusDMC1d ago

Well Clair obscure had the same situation(gamepass) and had a concurrent high of 150k and currently at 50k.

LucasRuinedChildhood22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Sure, but those numbers are higher than previous Doom games' peak on Steam as well.
- Doom 2016 (44,269)
- Doom: Eternal (104,891)

It seems like the peak would at least as high as Doom 2016.

Bit confused on one thing. That graph only starts from May 15. They don't seem to have been able to capture data for the early access players who started playing days before that.

LucasRuinedChildhood22h ago

So basically, I'm talking about relative to the peak numbers of the prior games.

I'm not saying that a game that released on GamePass cannot have high numbers on Steam. But the effect isn't 0%. And Early Access also affects the peak.
