The people making this game have no understanding of why Doom is so well loved. The gameaplay looks like bland corridor walk and pew. The gameplay demos have involved a lot of walking in a straight line towards enemies and just shooting them. No room for side strafing.

Multiplayer looks bad too. Loadouts, slow movement, gimmicky transformations. They talk about how fast and fun it will be but everything indicates yet another bland lowest common denominator console-centric shooter.

I mean look, if you're Bathesda and you're making a game like this then I can understand why they're playing it safe. Just don't set it up to be like a classic Quake or Doom game because it isn't.

The new Doom just looks like every other bland FPS. Even the boxart is generic as fuck.

If you want to play a FPS which replicates the feel of the classics, Go buy the reboot of Shadow Warrior. It was a great game.

And since Shadow Warrior 2 is coming out soon, I'll be buying that instead of Doom.

DOOM is an amazing game and I will totally buy it.

The original one. Doom4's gonna be pretty meh
Oh, you're all full of it. It's the most violent game I've ever seen. It's massively, complexly gruesome and disgusting; I was offended by the cinematic trailer they released. It's so indulgent and spectacularly bloody. I want to play it so bad.

Here' what I'm worried about:
-Long Load times
Doom is all about instant action. If you have a copy of the original or Doom 2 boot them up right now and start the first level. It should take you maybe 15 seconds. Try it, you'll see.
Now do the same with Doom 3. It takes longer, I'll just tell you that because who in their right mind still has Doom 3 installed?

-Numbing Violence
It's going to have to continuously ramp things up or else it will become boring. This is my biggest concern; the Campaign is supposed to clock in at 20 hours but I'd be surprised if they can keep it consistently gruesome for the duration of that. The violence is the only thing holding it up at this point.

-Stupid Bullshit
Bethesda is a shitty game company that pretties up dull games with some nice color-coordination and voice acting. They make the most boringest games available because they know that more creative people will just mod them into something decent. They make tepid, unexciting products and Skyrim is fucking garbage.

Now I don't want to play it at all. Thanks guys.
