DOOM: THE DIVISIVE THIRD ONE (Patreon)

Get ready for the discourse, kids. The inevitable "Dark Ages is bad because X" or "Dark Ages is good because Y" or "this is an affront to every Doom fan because Z." Fuck all that! Sounds like math. If I wanted to participate in the online shit-slinging I'd go back to Twitter. Unless the shit-slinging is directed at Randy Pitchford, in which case it is always justifiable because that man can't stop saying dumb, out-of-touch greasy rich asshole stuff. Long story short: Everyone is going to argue for years about the merits of each game in this new trilogy and I'm going to ignore all of it. I enjoyed most of Dark Ages and I'll admit that it doesn't have the same kick as the last two. It's not bad or a disaster, like if they added Ewoks. The game seems like an attempt to compromise two different styles of gameplay - Doom 2016's more free and easy demon-blasting vs. Eternal's tighter and more challenging flow. Before the game even released, other people with press keys were expressing wildly varying opinions about the combat. I dunno, I was having fun, except the two disposable turret sections and the turret sections on the back of a dragon. And the stomach acid.

Really, the game is probably long enough to not need to pad it out with turret sections. gl;hf

P.S. Fuck shadowplay for dropping gameplay frames. This thing ran perfectly while I was playing. In 1440, not 4k, because my graphics card isn't actually as good as the intro would lead you to believe. ____________________________

Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list so if you don't see your name, it will be in the next upload.
