Doom Eternal rips and tears through competition, sells over 700K on Steam

I liked 2016 but a few months before eternal came out I felt less interested. I might play it later on but something about the game seemed like they went TOO arcadey and definitely put in way too much gay story shit. Why the fuck are there angel looking things and all these ordered religion figures. I just wanna shoot cacos n shit.

>I just wanna shoot cacos n shit.
You literally still do

COPE

I find it very hard to believe that a big budget game sold the most on PC. That literally never happens. What's the source on those numbers?

ohnonononono depressedbros
I thought we agreed that everything is bad now and every game is a flop and everything is ruined by SJW trannies or whatever boogeyman

That's pretty low, compared to Halo.

>todd releases game for free
>people buy it
They may as well include gacha.

That sounds really bad for a big release.

Those are the kiddos who got filtered by Marauder lmao

Those are mediocre sales 1 million is nothing now

>Over 1 million in just over 1 week
Man and that's just going to continue to sell more, especially once the Switch version hits and then the DLC comes out. I expect 4.5 million life time sales. Most successful Doom ever. Doom (whatever) will follow the same formula.

How the fuck do you retards have trouble with the Marauder?

>GG EZ NO RM
Christ Eternal really has exposed Yas Forums has nothing more than a hive of fucking casuals who can't even beat a miniboss even when the TUTORIAL FUCKING EXPLAINS THE MECHANICS TO YOU BEFORE YOU FIGHT HIM

They are too different to be considered competition of each other.

>Stay somewhere between long and medium range
absolutely retarded mongoloid tier strategy, enjoy the Sunny D dog on your ass spitting decals all over your screen

there’s absolutely no reason not to stay in close range unless your reaction time is nigger tier

>i have enough money for one
That's competition, dipshit.

>A FPS game sold the most on PC
>Doom, a game that originated from PC
>With OG Doom still soaring with mods and wads on PC
I don't see how it's unbelievable that it sold the most on PC. Doom has always been a PC game

A lot of countries on quarantine

I only remember everyone calling Bethesda fucking retarded, but I dunno, don't let me stop you for feeling good about yourself over nothing.

>Halo fag literally can't go one second without trying to proxy dick measure using his favorite, now irrelevant franchise.

>pc their biggest platform
>they still cater to console trash

fuck id
fuck bethesda
fuck zenimax
and FUCK JANNIES for good measure

There's literally more demon enemy types and only 1 (one) angel enemy.

>Doom Eternal rips and tears through competition
Wow. Nice wordplay you got there buddy. What are you? Fucking marketing department? Fuck off

One angel type that only shows up during the second to last level alongside demons, until the final level goes back to being only demons again.

Find it kind of funny the Maykr angels weren't an enemy type. Guess they were like "fuck this dumb bitch, I quit" after the Icon broke loose. I think the lore says they have some independence, unlike the drones.

Not to mention that quickscoping the drones is satisfying as fuck. I suck though which makes it even more fun when their heads pop

black people are actually really good at fighting games user, requiring quick reaction times typically!

It's a Doom game, of course it sold the most on PC, are people actually surprised?

Unfortunately the coronavirus seems to have taken a toll on the sales. This game would be easily pushing the 4 to 5M sales of people were actually outside buying games.

To be fair everyone is getting fucked because of stupid ass Corona. id Software will be doing better off than most thanks to Eternal.

That is, by the best estimates, 1.5 million sales. Is that supposed to be impressive? The game was delayed numerous times and this was the main game they were working on. That is not exactly a great sales number for a studio that is banking on one game. Not only that but it is a multi platform game too, while plenty of exclusives easily surpass that number.

And no, before you say anything I like the game and I don't want it to fail. I am just saying going by those metrics it is not exactly a great launch. I am hoping those numbers are actually just lowballs and not the actual amount. The game has to sell a lot more than that to be actually a decent profit for them.

What happenned to the gaming market?
I remember a period between 2015-2018 when practically every new release used to sell millions of copies first week in PS4, now you really onle see that on switch
Is this battle royales fault or is it part of the natural game console cycle?

Space management.
A PS4/XB1 is 500 GB-1 TB, CoD MW, Fortnite, Fifa, Madden, and/or 2K already take up nearly 400 GB by themselves, so a lot of kids just stick to their F2P game of choice and ignore everything else.

Didn't Witcher 3 sell more on PC than consoles? I remember reading that CDPR was saying PC was the largest chunk of their sales. I think that it does happen for particular series that seem more "PC" focused (Witcher, Doom) or have already established PC fanbases.

not him, but there's a different between sector and genre and he is obviously talking about genre.

Tortanicbros.. this cant be happening..

I remember a time when most big games used to sell 4-5 million copies first week and also lifetime, the tomb raider reboot sold over 20 million copies and the new one only sold 2 million
I wonder if this is part of the natural console cycle, fortnieis fault or a sign of oversaturation

i bought it on steam. it's good to flex on snoy every now and again. just keep those "exclusives" coming faggots.

I don't know, it is hard to tell. With something like Tomb Raider you can see a reduction in review scores over the course of the games. People are clearly tired of the same game 3 times. DOOM came out in 2016 and this acme out in 2020 and both games are very different from other FPS games. They're very unique, it is not the same 3rd person cinematic stuff that so many other AAA games are nowadays.

It is hard to tell, really. You still have shit like RDR2 breaking records for being the biggest entertainment industry launch of all time (Bigger than any movie, book, or television show) but you see a lot of series just selling less and less.

Who the fuck plays fps with a controller? Fucking retards.

wtf

>it's not the other way around
bad fanboy

It's over-saturation.
The only reason PC and console games revenue is increasing isn't because sales are higher, it's because companies are making more money from microtransactions and F2P games.
EA in particular made almost $1 billion in a single quarter from "live services" (AKA microtransactions and Origin Access).

How about I over-saturate you face with cum?

the game will have a long life cause the reception has been so positive. looks like they pulled another 2016. id wins again baby.

The game definitely has too much story. That is probably its biggest problem. Every level has multiple cutscenes in it, even if they're short it constantly interrupts the action. Then when you finish a level it is back to the hub to follow the marker to do something random to then have some random person talk to you to then go back and actually do a level. Not to mention it is lame as fuck what they're doing to Doom Guy. He SHOULD be a random Marine who is able to survive through grit, determination, superior firepower, and being the avatar for the player. He should not be some special prateorian chosen slayer guy. It is just lame.

What? explain further.

Is there more to explain?

he literally is still that same random marine. he has just gone so far he's become a demi-god at this point, because he is unstoppable.

It gets even better.

Yeah, that is stupid. Exactly my point. Having all these supposedly important demons and makers and angels wasting their talk talking to you and giving their speeches and shit is just dumb. Having meetings with ghost kings who tell you that you cannot save your people is dumb. Meeting other "Slayers" who are in exile is dumb. None of that is what Doom should be about.

The worst part? This idea of Doom Guy being some unstoppable badass is pretty well done through actual gameplay. You don't need 100 cutscenes of people jerking him off. Just make you rip and tear through Demons while saving the world and everyone will understand that. I don't need the demon alien angel chick coming to talk to me AGAIN about how I am just one man AGAIN and how I cannot stop the prophecy/whatever AGAIN.

Yes i wanna know what happened after that became public and how it became know?

physically painful

Doom is not out on Switch yet.

And every major publisher nowadays makes most of their money from microtransactions.
Even the ones who don't even make mobile games, almost all that microtransaction revenue comes from the kids playing games on PS4 and Xbox.

it wasn't that bad.
the doctor lady's fellating your cock with heavy breathing and unbelievably cringe voice acting, that was bad. how did that make it in there?

Doom 2016 even managed to sell over a million on the switch, Doom 2016 sold something like around 7-8 million copies, if a 10 days sale really are 1.5 million I doubt eternal will even come close to that considering how frontloaded most games have been over the past few years, sure pc sales have gone up a bit from when it sold 500k in the first period, but theres something seriously wrong with this sales figures

funny how any other AAA IP sells

you're a fuckin retard if you're surprised by this

now minus the amount of women and trannies that bought it

game is rough first couple of hours but man when it clicks you fall in love

based pic, fuck anime, our site now.

This right here is why you retarded faggots should be buying good games instead of bitching about them and who publishes them.

Casuals are overrunning your hobby spamming the "buy waifu jpeg" and "more candy crush lives" buttons on mobile. And you're certainly too big of pussies to make them stop.

Hate to tell you this, but those casuals already took over console gaming.
Only difference is that they're buying jpegs of their favorite football and basketball players instead of their waifus.
