Wtf happened to DOOM

Based, fuck op

>drastically changing a franchise
then why is doom3 always defended in these threads?
>but I don't
then don't post on an anonymous image board if you don't want to be generalised and clumped together

No, not really. Just finished the game on UV and it's pretty great, you can check the fitgirl repack (I know i did) if you don't wanna buy it and play the game instead of spending your time shitposting on Yas Forums.

Demonstrably false. If people only cared about DOOM because of "crotchety purists," you wouldn't see nearly the same financial success in terms of units moved. (Read: it surpassed 2016, which was a game that people on Yas Forums have been trying to shit on for four years.)

If people were going to "move on to the next fad in a week," then you wouldn't see such an incredibly high volume of memes, fan art, fan music covers, speed runs, the list goes on from 2016 until now. That's 1,460 days of people NOT moving on to the next thing.

Further counterpoint: look at Quake. That series is ONLY crotchety old purists, Sonic-level autismos who fucking graph strafe jump momentum charts using online mathematics tools, and their series is fucking DEAD. Even attempts at copycats like that shitty egg game Diabotical were fucking stillborn. Crotchety faggots have NEVER been a marker for success either.

Very nice bait, have my you kind sir!

Sales =/= Quality
Otherwise that would make The Holy Bible the highest quality book in human history

Is DOOM Eternal a fun FPS-Platformer?
Yes.

Is DE a spiritual successor to DOOM?
Not in the fucking slightest.

>it used to be about shooting shit and violence
This mentality is what led to the creation of Serious Sam and Painkiller. There's more to Doom than just shooting a bunch of enemies.

also, rly cartoony graphics

>violence
It wasnt ever about violence.

Shit opinion for pansies
