Just picked up DOOM Eternal (2020) for $5 on eBay

Just came across this on an old wish list, had completely forgotten about it!

Think I mustn’t have fancied paying full whack at the time as I wasn’t interested in the multiplayer or the dlc hype etc (I know, I know).

Anyway well worth a couple of bucks and saves the many now-unloved copies out there becoming trash so thought I’d share in case anyone else missed out!

I wanted to play it but even at $5 I don’t think I can justify giving them money after what they did to Mick Gordon.

Perhaps 2nd hand.

What happened?

The Doom Eternal soundtrack was super delayed, and Bethesda/iD put the blame on Mick Gordon saying that he missed multiple deadlines to finish up the masters of the tracks. (Iirc they also fired him and hired someone new to make the DLC soundtracks) Mick Gordon responded a while after with reciepts that proved that they gave him practically impossible deadlines.

Eh, didn't like it much tbh.

It lacks the immediacy and simplicity of Doom 2016.

Eternal adds a lot of extra buttons to the mix, but it doesn't make it more fun. Just becomes a needless faff. The story takes itself way too seriously as well.

It just takes everything that was great about 2016 and builds on it until you can't see it any more.
