Well it has Denuvo... I wasn't buying that shit

In the UK its £70 ($95) for the base game and £100 ($135) for the full game. Bethesda go fuck yourself.

Edit: Title is somewhat dishonest, it has over 3M players. Just that most are on gamepass. Still not buying it though.

Fewer than. *

1. It’s $80
2. It’s on Gamespass, where I assume a lot of doom fans who might have otherwise purchased are likely to be.
3. It’s shouldered up against Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remake, both over $20 cheaper and highly acclaimed.
4. It’s $80
5. (Edit) shitty DRM

Seeing how they screwed over Mick Gordon, the composer for the previous two installments, I'll vote with my wallet and skip this one. My backlog is big enough as it is anyway.

meant to mislead potential players into thinking the game is successful when, in fact, it's severely underperforming behind the scenes.

Why would a player in a single-player game give a tiny shit about how popular it is? It's the investor class that cares about that; stop treating their interests as a natural good.

Marty Stratton and his denuvo riddled pos game can kindly get fukt after what he did to Mick Gordon, the composer of the banger soundtrack for Doom 2016.

Let's see

• The game itself takes away a lot of pieces of the formula that made 2016 and Eternal so good
• $80 price tag
• BDS boycott
• Denuvo

I'm shocked that it's not selling, absolutely shocked.

It's also 80€ in Europe. Everyone I talked to is waiting for the price to drop, including me.

I don‘t buy any digital copy of a game for over 45 bucks, doesn‘t matter what it is… I also haven‘t finished DOOM 2016 yet and haven‘t even started Eternal. Not because they‘re bad games or because I don‘t like FPSs, but because I have so much shit to play and so little time.

Competition is fierce and asking 80 bucks when I got the predecessors for less than 5 each is just not happening. Just because games cost more to produce doesn‘t magically make customers have more money and time. It‘ll make release weeks stinkers outside of your GOTYs and makes more people wait or go back to 20+ years worth of other games that aren‘t 80 bucks.

Forcing raytracing is a great way to close off a bunch of customers.

Game is 70$ on Steam US and has a very positive review. That is still too much money unless this is a game you were really looking forward to.

I would have bought it if it didn't have denuvo. I'll wait til its stripped out.

Not sure about hardcore Doom fans but the game looks uninteresting to me specifically. It's like a polar opposite from Doom 2016 judging by all the videos I've seen. Don't really care about the higher price, I'd get it if I liked it but it really doesn't click for me.

I'm one of the biggest fans of the DOOM franchise, I've played all the versions since the original one in 1993. But I don't care if I play it now or in half a year. Or a year for that matter. Never really understood why having it first matters to anyone. I'll be here when the prices drop.

I was stupid enough to buy Spacemarine 2, when it came out, at full price (mostly because I loved Boltgun so much) and that was a great lesson about how you should wait around a bit before actually buying a game. It would have been a fun game for 15 or even 20 euro, but it's not worth 70 euro. I Should have bought Helldivers, anyway 😓

I didn't even look at it enough to know if I'd buy it otherwise when I saw it has denuvo. Always online DRM is a hard pass for me. I haven't played the last 3 games Atlus released either and I've been playing almost every one since the ps2 era.

As much as I love the Doom games I'm not really a fan of the $70 price tag. The Doom games are great games but it's not like they are in my top 5 favorite games or anything like that. I'll wait for a sale.

That price was doomed.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how they want it to be. If they were interested in selling games they wouldn’t put them day one on gamepass.
